Chapter 359

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely awkward. Even the ancestor Xuan Yan looked away, not daring to look directly at Yuan...
“…”
“…”
The atmosphere at the scene was very awkward for a while. Even the ancestor Xuan Yan looked away and did not dare to look directly at Master Yuan.
If Sect Leader Yuan was still somewhat confused before, then at this moment, the performance of Patriarch Xuan Yan and Cheng Hui undoubtedly proved one thing.
That is... there is indeed some connection between Lin Qingqiu and his disciple Lin Qingyang.
"No one can tell me in detail what happened?" Master Yuan asked with a stern face and a forced smile.
Cheng Hui touched his nose awkwardly. He had completely forgotten about this before. Now... it seemed that it was not his turn as a small corpse to talk about such things.
The Blood Demon Lord picked up the tea and said, "Slurp..."
I'm just a guest here. What does the affairs of your disciples have to do with me? Slurp...
Ancestor Xuan Yan: ...
He glared at the Blood Demon Lord, and Lin Qingqiu silently averted his gaze. If he opened his mouth and said he was Lin Qingyang, wouldn't that make him several generations younger than him? He wouldn't do that.
This matter can be discussed, but he cannot say it. No matter how Ancestor Xuan Yan glared at him, he just wouldn't say a word.
Seeing that both Blood Demon Lord and Cheng Hui kept silent, Sect Leader Yuan's mouth twitched. One of them was a guest, and the other was the guest's future Taoist partner. She couldn't force them, but her uncle-master couldn't keep it from her anymore, right?
Sect Leader Yuan remained silent, staring at Patriarch Xuan Yan in silence. His scalp tingled under his gaze, and he could only grumble, "I simply forgot."
"Oh..." Master Yuan didn't even raise his eyelids: "Now, can you tell me what's going on?"
Patriarch Xuanyan glared at Lin Qingqiu fiercely again and explained, "Actually, I'm not entirely sure what's going on. But Lin Qingyang and Your Excellency the Demon Lord look exactly alike. And...if I remember correctly, Lin Qingyang kept saying that Cheng Hui was his fiancé. As for the rest...you can figure it out yourself."
Sect Leader Yuan was so angry that he almost laughed.
The fact that the Blood Demon Lord looked like a sect disciple, and his uncle-master hadn't told him in advance? That's too much!
Ancestor Xuan Yan smiled awkwardly, "I only remembered this matter when I saw His Excellency the Demon Lord. I only vaguely guessed it."
Sect Leader Yuan glared at Patriarch Xuan Yan in anger. She could barely accept this explanation. But she couldn't help but complain. When she came in just now, couldn't they send her a message?
Sect Leader Yuan looked at Lin Qingqiu. This matter, after all, was related to the Blood Demon Lord.
She pondered for a moment, "I wonder what Blood Demon Lord's intention is in hiding his identity and joining our Corpse Puppet Sect?"
Lin Qingqiu did not intend to hide it, and it was impossible to hide it.
More than a hundred years ago, the Blood Demon Lord overthrew most of the righteous sects for the sake of a man. This incident was hotly discussed for a long time at the time.
At that time, Lin Qingqiu was so angry that he tried so many ways to revive the man that he almost went crazy.
This kind of thing cannot be concealed, so after Master Yuan asked that question, his eyes kept wandering over Cheng Hui, obviously doubting Cheng Hui's identity.
Cheng Hui's scalp was about to explode when he was stared at by Master Yuan. He always felt that the other party was looking at him as if he was looking at some particularly precious creature.
Lin Qingqiu briefly recounted his own experiences, which he'd had after rebirth, when he was accidentally accepted into the Corpse Puppet Sect by Wuyouzi. He'd subsequently settled down there. He had a very good impression of the Corpse Puppet Sect, and his senior brothers and sisters had taken good care of him. Wuyouzi had been incredibly attentive to him, so Sect Leader Yuan didn't need to worry about him harming the Corpse Puppet Sect.
Sect Leader Yuan remained noncommittal about Lin Qingqiu's explanation. As the sect leader, she certainly couldn't simply believe this explanation. However, as a cultivator, she intuitively felt that Lin Qingqiu wasn't lying, and at most, was hiding something.
As for what he is hiding... just look at Cheng Hui and you will know.
However, she saw clearly that the Blood Demon Lord had no ill will towards the Corpse Puppet Sect, otherwise he would not have revealed his identity so easily.
"That's good." Sect Leader Yuan looked at the Blood Demon Lord, then at Cheng Hui, and smiled. "Since you two are interested, then this matter is settled. I wonder when and where the Demon Lord plans to hold the ceremony?"
The Blood Demon Lord looked at Cheng Hui and thought for a moment, "How about I come pick him up in three days? The ceremony will be held in the Demon Palace in seven days."
When Sect Leader Yuan heard this, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and Patriarch Xuan Yan even spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Three...three days? Seven days?" Sect Master Yuan was dumbfounded.
Don't think she has no common sense. Even for ordinary people, it takes half a year to a year from the betrothal to the wedding.
The situation for monks is even more exaggerated. They have long lives and a slower pace in many things, so it is normal for them to take ten years to prepare.
Three days? Seven days? What's enough?
It’s too late even to send out invitations!
"Isn't seven days too short?"
"Is seven days too short?" The Blood Demon Lord frowned. He still thought seven days was too long. If possible, he wanted to take Cheng Hui away today and hold the ceremony tomorrow. Anyway, the Demon Palace had rushed to prepare everything and it could proceed at any time.
Sect Leader Yuan secretly clicked his tongue. Seven days? How anxious must he be to bring the person back?
She couldn't help but look Cheng Hui up and down. He was handsome and had a good temperament. Such a person was indeed good, but there were a lot of handsome men and beautiful women in the world of cultivation, and the Demon Lord himself was even more stunning. No matter how she looked at him, she couldn't see anything special about Cheng Hui.
However, she also admitted that Cheng Hui looked very calm and steady. He was the kind of honest and good person who you could tell at a glance would not have so many cunning thoughts.
Simply put, he is the type of man that people would feel comfortable marrying their daughter to.
Master Yuan: ...
She held her forehead silently, wondering why she had such an association?
On second thought, this is not a bad thing. Not having any ulterior motives means there will be no betrayal.
Back then, the Blood Demon Lord caused great trouble to the righteous path. Now, he has a Taoist partner and is content with everything. He should not cause trouble again, right?
Is this considered a different way of feeding the devil with one's own body?
Once Sect Leader Yuan started to think, she had a tendency to get out of control. Fortunately, the Blood Demon Lord brought her thoughts back in time.
"I want to hold the ceremony as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary trouble." Lin Qingqiu was so anxious because he couldn't wait to take the person home, but the other party was also helpless.
The move of the Eternal Life Spring really caught him off guard. When he was the Blood Demon Lord Lin Qingqiu, many of his actions would be over-interpreted.
Just saying he wanted to form a Taoist partner might attract the attention of the righteous sect. Plus, Cheng Hui's identity was rather special, so they might think the Demon Palace was forming an alliance with the Corpse Puppet Sect...
Lin Qingqiu may not care about their imagination, but he cares that these people would choose his dual cultivation ceremony to test him.
In his opinion, the Dual Cultivation Ceremony was an important ceremony for him and Cheng Hui to become Taoist partners, so it had to be perfect. What if someone was so blind as to choose this day to cause trouble? Even if he killed that person, his mood would be ruined, right?
Therefore, it is best to cut the Gordian knot and hold the dual cultivation ceremony before any parties react.
As long as the two of them become a Taoist couple, the worst that could happen is they would abandon everything here and travel to other small worlds. Those people couldn't chase them to explore another world.
Sect Leader Yuan felt that this was a bit hasty, but since the Blood Demon Lord had agreed and Cheng Hui didn't seem to object, she didn't intend to be the bad guy.
Three days or so wouldn't accomplish anything, so Sect Leader Yuan simply gave the final word: "Just take the person back." After seven days, I'll bring Wuyouzi to participate in your dual cultivation ceremony.
Lin Qingqiu curled his lips and thanked him, his tone much more sincere: "In that case, thank you very much, Master."
Sect Leader Yuan secretly complained: I've never seen anyone so eager to get married...
After bidding farewell to the headmaster, Lin Qingqiu and Cheng Hui did not leave immediately.
They didn't know many people in the Corpse Puppet Sect, but they had a very good relationship with their fellow disciples from the Thirteen Peaks.
In the past, both Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu had been taken care of by them. This time, Cheng Hui came back and Lin Qingyang disappeared, and almost all the fellow disciples came to inquire about them.
Lin Qingqiu is not an ungrateful person. He knows very well who is good to him and who is not.
The two came to their small courtyard at Thirteen Peaks. Looking at the familiar surroundings, Lin Qingqiu felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
It was here that he saw Cheng Hui come back to life with his own eyes, and it was at that moment that he felt his heart, which had been silent for many years, begin to beat again.
Having lived here for many years, Lin Qingqiu naturally did not feel any strangeness. He walked into the kitchen as usual, intending to make something to eat for Cheng Hui. When he touched his ring, the empty touch reminded him that his storage ring was long gone.
"Looking for this?" Cheng Hui leaned against the door frame, holding a ring in his hand.
Lin Qingqiu walked over, picked up the ring and held it in his hand. He wiped it with his other hand and took out a portion of processed food.
"pity……"
"What a pity?" Cheng Hui was curious.
Lin Qingqiu glanced at him and said, "It's a pity that the big spider is gone. I can't eat the spider eggs anymore."
"Hmm..." Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment, then touched his nose: "Actually... Big Spider is fine."
Um?
Lin Qingqiu raised his eyebrows.
The big spider had formed a spirit beast contract with him. Now that Lin Qingyang's body is dead, the big spider should have turned to ashes as well. But from what Cheng Hui said... the big spider is still alive?
Cheng Hui waved his hand, and two more spider eggs appeared in his hand.
"I don't know what's going on. It seems that the contract of this giant spider has been transferred to me." Cheng Hui really didn't understand what was going on.
Lin Qingqiu smiled. If you really counted, he and Cheng Hui had formed countless contracts. To revive Cheng Hui, he had tried everything, even the unconventional technique of sharing his life force with him. The giant spider's transfer was a complete surprise, but there was no need to delve into it.
"I'll make you a boiled egg." Lin Qingqiu took the two spider eggs, turned around and started to boil water.
Cheng Hui leaned against the door frame, looking at Lin Qingqiu, who was wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
"Cheng Hui?"
There was a knock at the door outside.
"I'm coming." Cheng Hui went over and opened the door. It was Zhang Yifan.
"Are you leaving?" Zhang Yifan had heard that Cheng Hui would soon leave with the Blood Demon Lord.
"Well, thank you, Senior Brother, for your care over the years." Cheng Hui said with a smile.
Zhang Yifan had a complicated expression: "Do you really want to become a Taoist partner with the Blood Demon Lord? You are not..." He really wanted to say, don't you like junior brother?
"Nothing?" Lin Qingqiu poked his head out from the kitchen.
"Junior...Junior Brother?!" Zhang Yifan was stunned.
Lin Qingqiu:?! Why does Senior Brother look like he's seen a ghost?
