Yu Tianliu came and went like the wind this time, and although he did not really fight or cause any substantial damage, he planted the seeds of unrest in the hearts of the major immortal sects.
Yu Tianji was open-minded and straightforward. Seeing that the Immortal Alliance Conference could no longer continue, he simply announced its dissolution and asked the various immortal masters and their monks to return to their tents to rest and reunite the next day.
All the major sects have a lot of things they want to discuss internally, so naturally it’s better to obey than to be respectful.
After a while, the meeting hall that was originally full of people was left with only an empty ground. At a glance, only countless immortal tents could be seen, and there was not a single lone cultivator.
Yu Tianji stood on the empty altar, looking rather lonely.
"Don't worry too much, Immortal Lord." Li Yuebai walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "Wasn't the purpose of your holding the Immortal Alliance Conference to lure Yu Tianliu out? Now that he's been lured out, what's there to be afraid of? Just focus on dealing with him well."
"Oh." Yu Tianji lowered his head and stared at the candle in his hand. The candle had been lit for a long time, and the ash had been half burned. He just wandered around boredly, letting the ash fall down.
Only then did Li Yuebai realize that there was something wrong with his expression.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Li Yuebai teased, "Why do I feel that there is something wrong with you since you entered this immortal tent? Are you really scared by Tian Liujun?"
"No." Yu Tianji hummed and refused to raise his head.
Normally, the corners of his mouth were always curved, and he always had a teasing smile on his face, but now, his mouth was flattened and his face was a little droopy, looking as if he had been wronged.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuebai found his expression funny and couldn't help but reach out and touch his head.
"It's nothing. I just realized that being slandered isn't a pleasant feeling." Yu Tianji said with a groan.
Li Yuebai didn't know how to answer his nonsense, so he could only say softly: "You have been scolded a lot since you came here. Why can't you bear it all of a sudden?"
"That's different." Yu Tianji thought seriously, "They accused me of being dissolute and having improper behavior, which is true, and I don't feel wronged, but colluding with the Demon Cult... I really don't want to do such a thing..."
When he said this, Li Yuebai couldn't help but think of the original owner, Mu Qingning.
All I can say is that fortunately Yu Tianji is now the Immortal Lord and he still has some time to buffer. If it were any other Kunlun cultivator, he would have been beaten to death by other Kunlun cultivators if he were suspected of colluding with the Demon Cult.
Behind him, the guards looked at each other and immediately saluted, saying, "Master, your servants are as loyal as iron and stone, and will never fall for the evil cult's schemes!"
"Thank you all." Yu Tianji was satisfied then, and rubbed Li Yuebai's palm with her hair while humming.
Li Yuebai felt that raising an immortal master was similar to raising a cat, both required coaxing.
As night fell, Baiyu Beach was completely silent, with only a faint light shining through each fairy tent.
Yu Tianji was the host, so there was no reason for him to abandon his guests and return to Kunlun Mountain to rest. He could only rest in his own fairy tent.
The immortal tent was not small, and there were enough monks in charge of protection in the tent, but Li Yuebai still felt uneasy, so he called Jiang Shaoying over as well, hoping to take advantage of his protagonist halo to make the situation safer.
But when Jiang Shaoying arrived, Li Yuebai suddenly realized that the so-called protagonist halo only covers the protagonist himself, and the people around the protagonist may be more dangerous...
"System, should I keep my apprentice with me?" After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't decide how to make the decision, so he had to ask the system.
"Host, are you too nervous?" The system said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You are too sensitive to danger. The current situation is very safe and there will be no life-threatening danger."
"Yu Tianliu has already come to provoke us, and you still say it's safe?" Li Yuebai frowned.
On second thought, he felt that what the system said made sense. Since Yu Tianliu had resorted to slander, he would definitely slander to the end and it was unlikely that he would change his course midway. Therefore, there was no need to worry about someone suddenly breaking into the account and carrying out an assassination.
Jiang Shaoying has already started to talk to his master indignantly about the slander against Yu Tianji. Although he doesn't like Yu Tianji, he also believes that he is sincerely fighting against the Demon Cult and disdains Yu Tianliu's conspiracy.
Li Yuebai was too lazy to send him away again, so he let him stay.
At the second watch, a guest came to visit the fairy tent.
The guards carefully let the guests in - there were two of them. The leading man was tall and thin, with a sinister look and a fake smile on his face. Behind him followed a woman in green wearing a veil - it was Wei Jingyao and his daughter Wei Qianqian.
Jiang Shaoying was standing behind Li Yuebai. When she saw Wei Qianqian coming in, she couldn't help but cheer up. She hurriedly whispered to Li Yuebai, "Master, it's her who saved me last time..."
Li Yuebai nodded slightly. He was also a witness to this incident and was deeply impressed.
But now, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was not right with his apprentice's expression.
When Jiang Shaoying saw Wei Qianqian coming in, she was excited at first, then suddenly calmed down, and then became confused again. The expression on her face was very colorful, and no one knew how many random thoughts were in her mind.
When Wei Jingyao arrived, he exchanged some pleasantries with Yu Tianji, but after a few words, he couldn't wait to get to the point.
Wei Jingyao turned the teacup in his hand and said slowly and thoughtfully: "Tianji Jun and Tianliu Jun are brothers. Are they really going to quarrel to the point of irreconcilable conflict?"
Yu Tianji smiled and said, "I hope that we can be brothers, but you have seen it, brother Wei. My brother slandered me in front of all the major immortal sects. His intentions are obvious. I am afraid that even if I care about our brotherhood, my brother will not."
Wei Jingyao asked, "What is Lord Tianji's plan? Do you really want to kneel down and confess your guilt to my brother?"
"Absolutely impossible." Yu Tianji said angrily.
Li Yuebai looked at Yu Tianji from the side, and seemed to see some real grievance in his angry expression.
Wei Jingyao sighed: "How will this matter end...?"
"Right and wrong will be judged by the public, and the truth will be revealed in a few days." Yu Tianji took a sip of tea, calmed down a little, and said, "Brother Wei, did you also believe the rumors of the demon cult monster?"
"Of course I don't believe it." Wei Jingyao showed a meaningful smile: "It's better to say that I don't care about such rumors."
"Don't care?" Yu Tianji grasped his point.
"If Tianji Jun has never colluded with the Demon Cult, then he is naturally upright and honest, a good and upright person." Wei Jingyao said, and then lowered his voice and said the second half of the sentence: "If Tianji Jun really colluded with the Demon Cult as the rumors say, then I admire him even more."
"Master Wei, that was a mistake." Li Yuebai coughed lightly and reminded him.
"I didn't say anything wrong." Wei Jingyao looked inside the tent and said with a smile, "There are no outsiders here. Since I've come to see Lord Tianji, I must make it clear. I really admire Lord Tianji. Even if you have a private relationship with the Demon Cult, I am willing to work with you."
"I have absolutely no connection with the Demon Cult." Yu Tianji said coldly, "But I can't bear to refuse Brother Wei's kindness."
"It's really straightforward." Wei Jingyao nodded.
"I wonder how Brother Wei plans to help me? Do you have any good ideas?"
"It's very simple." Wei Jingyao said: "Send more troops to kill Tian Liujun."
"Brother's crime does not deserve death, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Yu Tianji sighed.
Jiang Shaoying was originally just looking quietly in the direction of Wei Qianqian, and didn't even pay attention to what Wei Jingyao and Yu Tianji were talking about, but Yu Tianji's words "the crime does not deserve the death penalty" still floated into his ears.
Jiang Shaoying's expression suddenly changed, and she wished she could expose all of Yu Tianliu's crimes.
“Hahahahahahaha…” Wei Jingyao laughed, “I originally thought that Tianji Jun was brave and resourceful, but I didn’t expect that he was also soft-hearted! I was wrong!”
"Master!" Jiang Shaoying could no longer hold back, and stepped forward to salute and said, "Tian Liujun's crime is indeed unforgivable. He slaughtered innocent people, and he deserves to be chopped into pieces!"
"It is not easy to draw conclusions without solid evidence." Yu Tianji sighed, "If the evidence is irrefutable, I am willing to cooperate with Brother Wei."
"This is the spirit of Immortal Lord Kunlun." Wei Jingyao said with a smile.
"If I only know how to accept Brother Wei's kindness without giving back, then I am really incompetent." Yu Tianji also smiled and said, "I wonder if there is anything I can do to help Brother Wei?"
Wei Jingyao turned his gaze to his daughter.
Since Wei Qianqian entered the tent, she has been sitting quietly in front of the desk without saying a word. She wore a light silk veil that even covered her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"I heard that Lord Tianji is still unmarried." Wei Jingyao said, "My daughter is at a young age, and she has not yet been engaged."
"If the Juling Immortal Mountain really favors me, I would be honored." Yu Tianji said with a smile.
"Qian'er, take off your veil quickly." Wei Jingyao said in a deep voice.
Wei Qianqian didn't move.
Wei Jingyao's words were harsh and merciless, and it was clear that he was treating her as a tool, without a trace of family affection.
"If your daughter is unwilling, why should Immortal Wei make things difficult for her?" Li Yuebai said.
Wei Jingyao ignored the attempt to smooth things over. He was eager to marry his daughter to Yu Tianji and kept forcing her to do so.
Wei Qianqian finally couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly pulled off her veil.
"Father, I don't want to get married." She stared at Wei Jingyao and spoke word by word.
"..."Wei Jingyao had never expected that his usually obedient daughter would suddenly turn against him and put him in such a difficult situation. He was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.
Wei Jingyao was very smart. He could see long ago that his daughter had accepted her fate. When she followed him here, he knew that she would be obedient. He didn't expect that she would suddenly get possessed by some evil spirit and change her mind on the spot.
Wei Qianqian took a step back calmly.
In fact, she didn't know why she was so impulsive. She actually said the truth in front of so many people that she didn't want to marry Yu Tianji.
Maybe it was because of the presence of that young man.
As soon as she came in, she saw the young man through the veil, and remembered what he had said to her, and she unknowingly gained courage.
"Qian'er, do you want to betray your father?" Seeing his daughter retreating step by step, Wei Jingyao became more and more angry, his eyes became more vicious, and he stretched out his eagle-claw-like hand to grab her shoulder, trying to pull her back.
A gust of wind blew, and Jiang Shaoying moved. He rushed forward and protected Wei Qianqian behind him.
