As Li Yiye finished speaking, the atmosphere around them became even more tense.
Xue Danrong's Broken Water Sword went straight for Li Yiye's neck, and Fang Chaozhou was unable to stop it. In a moment, the two were fighting. A few years ago, Xue Danrong was unable to beat Li Yiye due to his young age, but things are very different now.
Every move of Xue Danrong was deadly, as if he was determined to kill Li Yiye, and Li Yiye was also provoked. A few months ago, he took away some of Xue Danrong's skills because he felt pity for her beauty, which led to Xue Danrong being seriously injured by Zhongli Yueshui and fleeing in embarrassment. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will turn into bones after being killed. The black mist condensed under his palm took shape and entangled with Xue Danrong's Broken Water Sword.
Soon, Li Yiye discovered that Xue Danrong's cultivation had greatly improved. He couldn't help but darken his eyes. If they continued to fight like this, he would be the only one to lose. Losing to Zhongli Yueshui was already embarrassing enough. If he lost to Xue Danrong again, he would probably die here.
Li Yiye glanced at Fang Chaozhou not far away. Fang Chaozhou did not join the battle as he said, but just watched from the side.
Fang Chaozhou seemed certain that Xue Danrong would win.
When this thought appeared in Li Yiye's mind, he became even more unhappy. He raised his eyes to look at Xue Danrong, and suddenly used a shape-shifting technique to flash behind Fang Chaozhou and grab Fang Chaozhou's neck with one hand.
But at this moment, a sword pierced his heart.
The person he strangled turned into smoke.
Fang Chaozhou was standing not far away. When he saw Li Yiye suddenly move to a corner and reveal his back to Xue Danrong, he was stunned for a moment. When he heard Li Yiye's obviously angry voice, he realized what Xue Danrong had done.
Xue Danrong cast a spell to cover up his traces, and then created a phantom, making Li Yiye think it was him. Li Yiye wanted to use him to make Xue Danrong surrender, but he was outmaneuvered.
Xue Danrong pulled out the Broken Water Sword whose front end was covered in blood, and looked coldly at Li Yiye who was covering his chest.
Li Yiye was sweating profusely. This was the second time he was stabbed in the heart. The last time, he was stabbed in the heart by Fang Chaozhou, but Fang Chaozhou was so scared that he only grazed the edge.
This time, Xue Danrong was not like Fang Chaozhou.
The sword hit him right in the heart, without any deviation. Li Yiye's breathing became heavy, and his eyes couldn't help but move to the still glowing full moon umbrella.
He pounced over, and when his hand was about to touch the Full Moon Umbrella, half of the light on the mushroom surface of the Full Moon Umbrella went out. This means that Man Yue San doesn't like Li Yiye.
Li Yiye's hands were frozen in place, and his other hand could no longer stop the blood from flowing from his chest. Black mist was spreading out from his body, and at this moment, a hand reached out.
When the hand reached out, the extinguished light of the Full Moon Umbrella came back on.
Fang Chaozhou took off the Full Moon Umbrella and looked at Li Yiye. "I can give it to you, but the premise is that you swear on your son Li Zhu that you will never cause trouble for me and my junior brother again in this life." He paused, "You must know that without the Full Moon Umbrella, you will definitely die here today."
Li Yiye's face turned pale. He first stared at the glowing full moon umbrella in Fang Chaozhou's hand, then raised his eyes to stare at Fang Chaozhou and said coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will regret it?"
"I always think you are a person who keeps your promises," said Fang Chaozhou.
Li Yiye's lips tightened, and he stared at Fang Chaozhou for a while before he said weakly but clearly, "I swear on my son Li Zhu's life that I will never look for Fang Chaozhou and Xue Danrong again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the full moon umbrella was handed over. Li Yiye reached out to take it, but before he touched it, he grabbed Fang Chaozhou's wrist with his backhand and pulled him closer.
At that moment, murderous aura quickly rolled over, but Li Yiye seemed to be completely unaware. He stared at Fang Chaozhou in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on his evil and handsome face. "Fang Chaozhou, you are too naive. Demon cultivators never keep their word."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot, along with the full moon umbrella in Fang Chaozhou's hand.
Fang Chaozhou was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xue Danrong, who had stood beside him without knowing when, and said anxiously, "Junior brother, are you angry?"
Xue Danrong's eyes were cold. He took his hand and first performed a cleansing spell on it. Then he took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully many times, until the skin turned red. Then he spoke.
"I know that Senior Brother doesn't want to kill anyone, and he doesn't want me to kill anyone either. I know who Senior Brother likes."
Fang Chaozhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He hugged Xue Danrong and said, "As expected, my junior brother is the best and the most obedient."
As soon as he said this, Xue Danrong said, "But if you take risks like this again next time, I will kill that person. I will chop off the hand he used to touch me. If he used words to tease me, I will cut off his tongue."
Fang Chaozhou: “…”
He hugged Xue Danrong tighter, "There won't be a next time."
Has the evil spirit of my junior brother really been cleared away?
Fang Chaozhou began to have daily doubts.
Xue Danrong hugged Fang Chaozhou back, his nose filled with the scent of milk emanating from the other person. He glanced in the direction where Li Yiye disappeared.
There were some things he was not going to tell Fang Chaozhou.
Fang Chaozhou is a soft-hearted person, so sometimes he is inevitably bullied. He is not going to change Fang Chaozhou, as long as he gets rid of all those who try to get close to Fang Chaozhou.
After giving the Full Moon Umbrella to Li Yiye, Fang Chaozhou felt that there was no need for him to look for it anymore. Usually, there would only be one Full Moon Umbrella in one place, because the Full Moon Umbrella not only had a strange temperament, but was also particularly domineering. It did not like its own kind to be around, and would choose to commit suicide if it found any of its own kind.
So for the next two days, Fang Chaozhou unilaterally watched Xue Danrong hunt for treasures and make money. It was completely different from the first day. Xue Danrong found a lot of magical herbs and flowers in the next two days. Some of them, Fang Chaozhou had seen in books. They were extremely rare, but to Xue Danrong, they were like cabbages in the field.
Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but wonder if this was the protagonist's halo?
It’s strange, why did he take the full moon umbrella obediently?
Could it be that he also has the aura of a protagonist? So that’s why Man Yue Umbrella chose him and not Li Yiye?
What surprised Fang Chaozhou was that when he was about to leave Chunhe Barrier, he actually found another full moon umbrella. He immediately reached out to pick it, but before he could touch it, half of the full moon umbrella's light went out.
He took his hand back, feeling somewhat puzzled, and called Xue Danrong over, "Junior brother, you give it a try."
Xue Danrong did as he was told, and the light of the Full Moon Umbrella returned. Fang Chaozhou suddenly stopped before Xue Danrong picked it up, "Wait."
He had a guess.
A quarter of an hour later, Fang Chaozhou, with his lips glowing a strange red, walked to the Full Moon Umbrella again. He stretched out his hand again, and this time the light of the Full Moon Umbrella was not turned off.
Fang Chaozhou: “…”
Could this broken mushroom still smell Xue Danrong's scent on him?
The three-day trip ended quickly. Fang Chaozhou and Xue Danrong met with the eldest brother and others outside the Chunhe Barrier. The eldest brother was fine, but the other two brothers had extremely complicated expressions. When they saw Xue Danrong pulling Fang Chaozhou onto the Broken Water Sword, their expressions became even more complicated.
Fang Chaozhou felt a little embarrassed and lowered his voice to say to Xue Danrong: "They are all watching."
Xue Danrong said calmly, "Yes."
Fang Chaozhou opened his mouth and closed it again. Never mind. They were about to become a couple anyway, so just consider it as an advance notice.
After Fang Chaozhou and Xue Danrong completed the mission, they returned to Zhuoyu Pond. When passing the long corridor, Fang Chaozhou suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the lake next to him. Before he looked over, he heard the voice of an old man.
"Young man, you finally came during the day this time."
Fang Chaozhou was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the koi fish he hadn't seen for a long time.
"You're talking?"
Koi popped his head out, "Yeah."
Fang Chaozhou was even more surprised that this fish could actually talk. He couldn't help but look at Xue Danrong next to him, but heard Xue Danrong nodding at the koi.
"Do you know each other?" He looked at Xue Danrong, then at the koi in the lake.
After a while, he realized that Xue Danrong had been coming to the Zhuyu Pond late at night for more than a month and was spotted by the koi, and they became acquainted afterwards. Fang Chaozhou didn't care why Xue Danrong came in the middle of the night, which he didn't know yet. He just said to the koi, "You have lived with me for so long, and you have never said hello to me. Why did you say hello to him? I am so stupid for feeding you fish food."
The koi slowly wagged its tail, its tone revealing disdain, "I haven't criticized you for throwing garbage at my place all the time. If you do it again next time, I'll spit it back at you."
Fang Chaozhou: “…”
He took Xue Danrong back to the room and started rubbing his face crazily, not stopping until it turned red. "Why do they all like you so much?"
Xue Danrong looked at him with extremely clear eyes, "So, Senior Brother, do you want me to be yours?"
He said the most lustful words with the purest expression, which even made Fang Chaozhou stunned.
After Fang Chaozhou came to his senses, he coughed twice and asked, "How did it become mine?"
Could it be that Xue Danrong wanted him to counterattack?
In fact, he had no interest in counterattacking, after all, he felt a little tired, but if Xue Danrong really wanted him to counterattack, he could also give it a try reluctantly...
But soon, Fang Chaozhou knew what Xue Danrong meant.
What counterattack? He was thinking too much.
What he understood as becoming his and what Xue Danrong meant by becoming his were not the same. He wanted to enter, while Xue Danrong wanted to swallow it up.
On the third day, Fang Chaozhou gave the koi to his eldest brother to raise, because he found that intelligent things were not suitable here and might hear things they shouldn't hear. He didn't want to live in Zhichunzhou because it was too cold, but Xue Danrong's physique was more suitable for practicing in Zhichunzhou, so Fang Chaozhou decided to live in Zhuoyu Pool for half a month and in Zhichunzhou for half a month, but this would be after they became Taoist companions.
A month later, on Fang Chaozhou's birthday, he saw the large inheritance left by Xue Danrong's parents. Fang Chaozhou was frightened by the treasures piled all over the underground, and he didn't even hear clearly what Xue Danrong said. After he came out, he found that he had a few more things on him.
There was an immortality lock around his neck, a string of gold and jade bracelets on his left hand, and a scroll in his right hand.
This immortality lock has always been worn around Xue Danrong's neck. He has never taken it off even when taking a bath. Now it is around his neck.
"This was given to me by my mother. Now I'm giving it to my senior brother," said Xue Danrong.
Fang Chaozhou looked at the gold and jade bracelet in his hand.
"This is what my mother told me to give to my future Taoist partner. It is the key to open the underground barrier."
It is the underground treasury where a bunch of treasures were just placed, and this bracelet is the key to the underground treasury.
Fang Chaozhou looked at the scroll in his other hand again.
"The scroll was painted by my father. You can open it and take a look, brother." Xue Danrong said.
Fang Chaozhou unfolded the scroll and found that the person in the painting was Xue Danrong, but the date written on the painting was more than 20 years ago. He was just wondering when he saw another figure appear in the painting.
It turned out to be him.
Xue Danrong stood beside Fang Chaozhou, watching Fang Chaozhou's appearance gradually appear on the scroll, and whispered: "My father used his cultivation to peek into the heavens when he was alive, and painted what I would look like when I grew up. He told me that I would be like him and meet the best Taoist partner in the world. If I meet that person, that person's appearance will appear in this painting."
——
"My son Danrong, we are leaving. You will have a hard time in the future, but you will meet someone who will not come when you are at your peak, but will save you when you are in dire straits, just like me and your mother. Outsiders always ask me why I became a Taoist partner with your mother, and whether your mother did something to me, or cast a spell on me. How could your mother, who is so stupid, do such a thing? As for her, she just gave me everything she had, and she also drove me away, saying that I should not harm her. She is different from others."
"Brother, are you willing to be my Taoist partner?"
