Kunlun once again entered a state of preparation for battle.

The last drill was all about formations to deal with the Demon Cult, but this time it was specifically aimed at Yu Tianliu.

Inside the Auspicious Hall, Li Yuebai was still bent over his desk, writing without stopping.

"Miss Mu, what are you writing?" Yu Tianji put his arms around his waist, rested his chin on his shoulder, and looked at the paper curiously.

"Your brother brought people to smash your place twice, didn't you remember the things you should remember?" Li Yuebai was angry and amused, and tapped Yu Tianji's forehead with the pen.

"What's there to remember? In my eyes, your brother is nothing but my future subordinate who is about to be defeated." Yu Tianji said disdainfully.

"His formation, swordsmanship, behavior habits..." Li Yuebai searched through his memory one by one and wrote them down on paper: "Although they are all Kunlun monks, they are very different from your men."

"Why are you in such a hurry to prepare for war?" Yu Tianji looked at the paper, smiled, snatched the paper over, and threw it to the side of the table. The paper floated away slowly: "Brother prepared for a long time in his last life before he gathered enough people to attack Kunlun. This life is even more difficult. Maybe he will have to plan for another ten or twenty years..."

"Don't interrupt." Li Yue watched the paper fly away, and he became anxious. He slapped Yu Tianji on the head again: "Underestimating Yu Tianliu? You can't underestimate the enemy."

"Even his wife was taken away by your apprentice. What else is there to be afraid of?" Yu Tianji said disdainfully.

Wei Qianqian is Yu Tianliu's wife in the original plot, but in this life she has nothing to do with Yu Tianliu, and instead develops feelings for Jiang Shaoying.

"..." Li Yuebai was speechless. Then he vaguely remembered that the original excuse for holding this Immortal Alliance Conference was to find a marriage partner for Yu Tianji, but now there is nothing.

"Don't laugh at him for this." Li Yuebai said with a smile, "Isn't your Immortal Master's wife also missing?"

"Who said that? Who said that?" Yu Tianji protested strongly. With a move, he pushed Li Yuebai down on the table and kissed him hard on the cheek: "Madam Immortal Lord? What do you mean you disappeared? You are clearly right in front of me."

"..." Li Yuebai gave him a solid kiss and immediately pushed the damn dude away with disgust.

Although he looked disgusted, he didn't feel the slightest bit of disgust in his heart.

Ever since I traveled through time and met this guy, I have been hugged and taken advantage of by him all the time. I have actually become... used to it?

And whenever he teases me, my mood becomes good for no reason.

When Yu Tianji was pushed by him, she immediately started to touch the porcelain in surprise, wailing and acting coquettishly, saying that she was beaten by Li Yuebai and could not move at all. She pressed Li Yuebai on the table and refused to get up.

Li Yuebai was too lazy to argue with him, so after pushing a few times without any movement, he just let him hold him down.

The weather was warm and the desk was slightly cool, so it was comfortable to lie on it.

"Host, the system also thinks that Yu Tianji is right." The system interrupted: "Kunlun Fairy Mountain has just successfully resisted the invasion of the Demon Cult. The soldiers are strong and the morale is high... What are you so anxious about?"

"You also think that Yu Tianliu is nothing to be afraid of?" Li Yuebai stretched out a hand and rubbed his temple.

"He has only a few thousand monks under his command. How can he possibly capture Kunlun? He has to borrow troops from everywhere... but who is willing to lend them to him? Which famous and upright sect would be willing to make friends with such a villain who has committed so many evil deeds? Therefore, it will take at least half a year for him to gather his troops..." the system guessed.

"Although the situation over there is embarrassing for Yu Tianliu, we can't let our guard down here." Li Yuebai closed his eyes, and the plot of his previous life was still revolving in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern: "Kunlun is too big..."

As the old saying goes, towering trees are hollowed out by termites from the inside. As long as there is a crack inside Kunlun, Yu Tianliu will find an opportunity to take advantage of it and sneak in.

The Demon Cult is the enemy, and of course everyone is united in facing the Demon Cult, but Yu Tianliu... Yu Tianliu still has a group of supporters in Kunlun Fairy Mountain.

"That's true." The system admitted honestly: "After all, our Immortal Lord doesn't seem very reliable..."

"Huh?" Yu Tianji heard the conversation between the system and Li Yuebai, and immediately pricked up his ears, protesting aggrievedly: "Why are you blaming me again? Isn't I wise and powerful enough?"

"Wise and brave, wise and brave..." Li Yuebai stretched out his hand to stroke him perfunctorily.

"Kunlun monks are not fools either. They know to rely on a true wise leader." Yu Tianji flicked his sleeves and boasted proudly, "Whoever can lead them to repel the demon sect, promote immortal methods, and be righteous and virtuous... they will naturally support him. The superficial efforts are all empty. Although this immortal leader may seem unreliable, his practical achievements are obvious to all."

If you think about it carefully, Yu Tianji is indeed good at everything and is a good teammate.

It just looks unreliable on the outside.

As Li Yuebai thought about this, a smile appeared on his face.

"So, system, quickly help investigate how the cultivators are praising me." Yu Tianji rubbed his hands narcissistically: "It doesn't matter how corny it is, I can bear it."

"That..." The system was very embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Yu Tianji raised his eyebrows.

“I do admire you, but I admire Master Mu even more…” The system held back its laughter.

“…”

"In the eyes of Kunlun monks, Master Mu has lived in seclusion for many years and has a low profile. Needless to say, he is talented and virtuous. He was entrusted with the task in times of crisis and saved the situation. He promoted you, who was committed to fighting, to the position of the Immortal Lord. He is loyal to you and devoted to Kunlun. He was willing to suffer great damage in order to command the Kunlun monks to repel the Demon Cult... He is usually gentle and polite, but his attitude towards outsiders is very tough. He never bows to the major immortal gates. At the Immortal Alliance Conference, he refuted the attacks of outsiders one by one with reason and evidence, and resolved crises many times..." The system wanted to summarize it as briefly as possible, but it still couldn't help but say a lot, which made people dizzy and turned around.

"Hmm?" Li Yuebai thought he was thick-skinned enough, but he still felt embarrassed to be praised. He almost wanted to blush and wave his hands and say, "It's nothing. This is what I should do."

On second thought, yes, most of these credits belong to the original owner.

I am a bit smart, but I don't know much about strategy. I was able to accomplish all this thanks to the original owner's knowledge and reaction ability. I just didn't fall behind.

“I knew it!” Yu Tianji fell headfirst on the table in anger, groaning and banging his fist on the table: “Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu, I knew it would be like this, I’m so pissed off…”

"Why don't you issue a decree? It's not an exaggeration that you can't gain a foothold in Kunlun?" the system joked.

“This Immortal Master is not angry about this…” Yu Tianji groaned, “This Immortal Master is angry that so many people covet my Lady Mu, what should I do…”

"..." Li Yuebai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm afraid there are more people who hate me."

“Yes, there are, but not much more.” The system is very strict.

"What did they say?"

The system answered honestly: "Some say you are deliberately showing off and moaning without reason, some say you are fighting for power and profit, and your purpose is not pure, and some say you are using your beauty to seduce the master... and you have that, that sex affair with the Immortal Master..."

“…”

"?" Yu Tianji narrowed his eyes, and a chill emanated from his body: "Whoever said that, just kill him directly."

"You can't kill him. This is not included in the rules of Kunlun Mountain." said the system.

"If we really want to kill, the first person to be killed should be you, Immortal Lord." Li Yuebai said speechlessly.

I don’t know who is doing this in front of everyone every day... Who else could be the source of this rumor if not Yu Tianji?

"How about this." Yu Tianji rubbed his eyes and climbed onto Li Yuebai's shoulders with a smile: "Rumors are really abominable. Why don't we take advantage of the situation and prove the last one, that she seduced the master with her beauty, so as to avoid being slandered... Lady Mu, what do you think?"

This statement sounded justified and reasonable.

Li Yuebai let him pester her, but his thoughts were drifting away.

According to the system's description, the opinions of the Kunlun monks on Mu Qingning were mostly praise and less slander.

This is a very normal result.

Neither he nor Yu Tianji deliberately touted themselves, and no one in Kunlun dared to publicly slander them. The current state of public opinion was the most natural psychological reflection of the masses.

In his previous life, Mu Qingning was slandered and abused by the people of Kunlun, not because he did anything wrong, but because of power. No one can defeat the established situation. After Yu Tianliu became the Immortal Lord, he used his powerful power to discredit and oppress him at all costs, which created a public opinion that was enough to kill people hundreds of times.

Now, as long as Yu Tianliu is not allowed to ascend to the position of Immortal Lord, there is no need to worry about the tragedy happening again.

But the problem arises elsewhere.

His prestige was so great that it surpassed Yu Tianji.

In feudal society, the most terrifying thing for a minister is to be more powerful than his master. How many famous ministers and generals were envied by the king because of their achievements, and eventually their families were broken up and their lives were killed... Fortunately, this is a world of immortal cultivation, and I am not a minister. Yu Tianji is also reliable and will not kill me like a feudal king. However, the balance is still broken. Will Kunlun fall into division and chaos because of this?

Thinking of this, he asked Yu Tianji worriedly, "Does the Immortal Lord really not blame me at all?"

"Hmm?" Yu Tianji started to notice when he looked at her like that. She narrowed her peach blossom eyes and glanced at him one after another.

"..." Li Yuebai felt more and more that he was worrying too much.

Yu Tianji is not only a time traveler, but also a time traveler with a damaged brain, excessive hormone secretion, and the only thing he knows how to do is to spread his feathers like a peacock. How could he be afraid of being too successful and endangering his master? He wants to complete the mission as soon as possible.

The so-called "being too successful to be a threat to the master" is just a self-righteous guess by outsiders.

Li Yuebai felt relieved and focused his attention back on the paper, leaving Yu Tianji aside.

Kunlun had just experienced a great war and an alliance. Now the treasury was empty and everything needed to be rebuilt. Moreover, they had to be alert to Yu Tianliu's attack at any time. There were too many things to consider.

Li Yuebai stared at the messy words on the paper and felt dizzy.

Thinking carefully, it seems that I have been working diligently and overtime since I came here. I work much harder than I do in the real world. I can be said to be very busy.

And I haven't received any bonus yet.

Moreover, the "boss" only knows how to make trouble and act coquettishly.

Just as he was about to sigh, the pen in his hand was taken away.

Needless to say, it was that guy again, he didn't do the work himself and didn't let others do the work.

"Master Mu, don't you see what day tomorrow is?" Yu Tianji picked up the pen in his hand, turned it, and put on an aggrieved and sentimental expression: "This Immortal Master will allow you to rest for a day, okay?"

"What day?" Li Yuebai rubbed his temples. Hearing him say that, he indeed felt it was new.

"Yuan Zunjie!" Yu Tianji's eyes widened: "You don't even know this?"

"What festival is Yuanzun Festival?" Li Yuebai really didn't know.

I am busy thinking about saving myself and changing the plot every day. My hair has turned grey so fast that I don't have the time to care about any festivals.

"The Yuanzun Festival is held once a year. From the definition, it is closer to the Teachers' Day in your world." The system replied: "In this world of cultivating immortals, swordsmanship and immortality are taught by the master, so the Yuanzun Festival is very important."

"Since it's a festival, Master Mu, please don't work so hard." Yu Tianji came close and forcibly pulled him up from the desk: "Come on, come on, I will take you out to celebrate the festival."

"Host, the system also thinks that you should go out and relax." The system fanned the flames: "According to observation, you are now overly tired and your work efficiency is extremely low."

Li Yuebai couldn't help but feel sad and angry deep in his heart.

One by one, they all described him as a workaholic.

Of course, that is true...

But in his original world, he was also a playful and lazy person.

Now that the Immortal Lord has given me a vacation, I certainly can’t refuse it.

When I stood up, I found that my legs were numb from kneeling again. Fortunately, Yu Tianji was beside me, holding me tightly, so I didn't fall.

As soon as the two walked out of the palace gate, they bumped into Xiao Ai.

"Master!" Xiao Ai jumped up and down with excitement on her face. She blushed and stuffed something into Li Yuebai's hand: "This is presented to you by your disciple..."

Li Yuebai took it and looked at it. It was a small glass bottle. Although it was not very expensive, it was very delicate and it was obvious that it was carved with great care.

This feeling...is similar to receiving a Teacher's Day gift in the real world.

Sure enough, there are some commonalities in emotions between different worlds.

Li Yuebai put the small bottle into his sleeve, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Ai ran away skipping and saying that she was going to see some lanterns.

There are very few festivals in the world of cultivating immortals. Although the theme of this Yuanzun Festival is to respect teachers, it is also a good opportunity for many people to have fun. It is almost the same as the New Year in the real world.

The sky was already getting dark, and twinkling lights appeared from the pavilions and attics. Kunlun tonight was indeed different from usual, with a lot more worldly pleasures.

Yu Tianji took Li Yuebai for a walk around the Auspicious Palace, and he started to feel tired after walking a few steps.

"Didn't you cry and shout that you wanted to go out for a walk?" Li Yuebai smiled: "How come you can't walk so soon?"

"Don't make fun of me." Yu Tianji said with a bitter face, hopping crookedly on one leg: "I am a cripple, you know that..."

Li Yuebai knew that this man was full of bad intentions, but seeing him like this, his heart softened a little. He stepped forward to support him and said, "If you get tired of walking, just fly with your sword..."

"Okay." Yu Tianji smiled and drew out his sword: "I'll take you somewhere."

The flying sword carried the two of them across the night sky and landed on a cliff.

It was late at night. This part of the cliff was quite remote and without any lights, making it look somewhat eerie and scary.

Li Yuebai jumped off the flying sword and stepped on the solid rock. He stretched out his hand to help Yu Tianji, who was having difficulty moving, down.

"Why do I need to be helped?" Yu Tianji shamelessly opened his arms: "Can you just carry me down?"

Li Yuebai's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't resist the other party's coquetry. He took a deep breath, used a little more strength, and lifted him off the sword.

I don’t know what kind of incense this child used, but it smells so good.

Hugging each other so tightly in the darkness, he felt a faint sense of guilt deep in his heart, mixed with other indescribable feelings.

"Why did you bring me here?" Li Yuebai blushed and coughed to get rid of the strange feeling.

"Don't you think this place is familiar, Miss Mu?" Yu Tianji smiled and pulled him to sit on the rock: "This is where you communicated with the four phoenixes."

The great battle with the Demon Cult many days ago, all the details once again flooded into my mind.

At that time, I exhausted all my energy to control four phoenixes at the same time and won the victory.

"Is it here?" Li Yuebai touched the rough basalt on the ground and indeed felt it was very familiar.

It was pitch black all around and I couldn't see anything. I didn't pay much attention to the scenery here at the time because my whole mind was on the phoenix.

"After that, everyone praised you and said you saved Kunlun." Yu Tianji smiled: "And I was just worried that if something happened to you... then this victory would be meaningless."

"How can you say it is meaningless?" Li Yuebai asked in surprise.

"Okay, I'm not here to argue with Lady Mu." Yu Tianji stretched out his arms and laid down on the still-warm basalt. "Today is Yuanzun Festival. I've thought about it and I don't have anything good to give you, so I'm going to release some phoenixes for you to see."

"I don't want to see it." Li Yuebai almost laughed out loud: "Phoenixes and such are enough."

"That time you communicated with the four phoenixes, observed the battle through the phoenixes' eyes, and controlled the phoenixes' bodies." Yu Tianji said: "But everyone on the battlefield saw the phoenixes' gorgeous posture, only you didn't see it."

"It doesn't matter if I didn't see it. Compared to those monks who shed blood on the battlefield..." Li Yuebai said.

"So tonight, I'll show them to you." Yu Tianji took out the jade pendant from his collar with a rustling sound.

Li Yuebai couldn't see his movements, he could only hear the sound of him chanting the spell softly.

The inky black night sky was instantly illuminated by a brilliant light.

Four phoenixes flew out of the jade pendant one after another and hovered in the air.

Their colors are different, and every feather is glowing and colorful. Their sharp beaks and jewel-like eyes seem to reveal arrogance and nobility. Their wings are very large, and every flap brings up the night breeze, and their tails hang down like aurora.

It looks good. It’s really good looking.
