"I believe you." Yan Ying pinched a strand of Cen Ji's hair in her hand and circled it around her fingertips.
Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying lovingly, and reluctantly adjusted himself to a comfortable position, holding Yan Ying and leaning against the bed. "It's too late, go to sleep, I'll stay with you."
Although Yan Ying aroused his desire, he was unable to vent it. It was so late at night that he had to hold back his anger and coax her to rest early.
Cen Ji was worried that the monster would come back, so he decided to stay with her.
Feng Mu is really unreliable, and there is nothing important in the Demon Realm that needs him to deal with personally. From now on, he should stay with the little ghost and accompany her.
"Aren't you leaving?" Yan Ying asked, looking at Cen Ji's jaw.
"I'm not leaving." Cen Ji said softly. "I'll be with you from now on."
"Okay?" Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying gently.
"Okay..." Yan Ying was delighted and lay quietly in Cen Ji's arms with her eyes closed.
She was already feeling sleepy, even though she had just been frightened by the shadow. But now, lying in Chen Ji's arms, her lazy posture made her feel sleepy again.
Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying's closed eyes, raised his hand and gently placed it on her shoulder.
......
Guiyun Sect, main hall.
Bai Huanzhi heard that his master had returned to the sect early in the morning, so he immediately came to the main hall.
"Master, Huanzhi wants to see you." Bai Huanzhi, dressed in white, stood at the door of the hall.
Ning Hai looked exhausted. When he returned to the sect, he saw Bai Huanzhi coming to look for him before he had a chance to rest.
"Come in, what's the matter?" Ning Hai stood in the hall with a sad face, looking at Bai Huanzhi.
"Master, have you found out the origin of the monster?" Bai Huanzhi asked.
He knew that his master left the sect to go down the mountain to look for the source of the monsters. Since they returned from Fuzhou seven years ago, a group of monsters suddenly appeared in Jiuzhou.
No one knows where those monsters are hiding, nor how many there are. It seems like they can never be eradicated, and they continue to commit evil all over Kyushu.
Ninghai has aged visibly over the years and has a few white hairs on his head.
Ning Hai shook his head, pursed his lips and looked serious.
"Has anything happened in the sect recently?" Ning Hai asked.
When he left the sect, he entrusted it to Bai Huanzhi. When he was away, all the affairs of the sect, big or small, were managed by him.
Bai Huanzhi has been trained by him personally until now, so he can rest assured in handing the sect over to him.
Bai Huanzhi's face darkened, not knowing how to start. After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth.
"Master, a few days ago, a disciple of Ce Xuanfeng was murdered and died in the back mountain."
"What?" Ning Hai frowned, almost thinking that there was something wrong with his hearing.
"Disciple has already investigated the cause of death of that disciple, but... there were only external injuries, and no traces of spiritual power or magic near the wound." Bai Huanzhi said softly.
He was also very shocked when he learned that Wu Bai was killed. Wu Bai had almost no enemies in the sect, and the sect's formation was so sophisticated that no one else could enter.
But Wu Bai was indeed dead, and even his body was cold when he rushed over.
"It was a patrol disciple who reported that there seemed to be unusual movement in the back mountain. When the disciple rushed over, he only saw Wu Bai's body in the back mountain. But... at that time, the disciple seemed to detect a trace of demonic energy in the back mountain."
"Demonic energy..." Ning Hai suppressed the fear in his heart and lowered his eyes, thinking in his mind.
"Master, there was also demonic energy in my junior sister's room yesterday." Bai Huanzhi remembered what happened yesterday and immediately reported it truthfully.
The people in the Demon Realm had ulterior motives, and he was worried that his junior sister was being held hostage by them...
"Where is Ying'er now?" Ning Hai asked in shock.
He had never told Ying'er what happened seven years ago. He guessed that people from the Demon Realm would come looking for Ying'er, but he didn't expect that he would be completely unaware of it.
Under such circumstances, he was not in the sect, and Bai Huanzhi could not watch Ying'er all day. If something really happened to her, what would he do...
"He should still be in the room."
"Go and call her over quickly." Ning Hai said hurriedly.
Bai Huanzhi responded but before he left the hall, he saw He Qing walk into the hall.
"Junior brother?" Bai Huanzhi looked at He Qing with a puzzled look on his face.
He Qing nodded faintly at Bai Huanzhi, then bowed to Ning Hai in the hall. "Master, I have something to report."
"Qing'er, come in. Huanzhi, go and call Ying'er over!" Ning Hai shouted with a headache.
He Qing looked at Bai Huanzhi in confusion as he hurried out the door. Only after the white figure disappeared around the corner did he step into the hall.
"What's the matter, Qing'er?" Ning Hai asked while rubbing his temple.
He Qing raised his head and looked at Ning Hai, whispering, "Master, do you still remember Cen Ji?"
"Cen Ji?" Ning Hai narrowed his eyes, frowning slightly. "Is it... the disciple Ying'er used to bully?"
"I remember that he seemed to have the root of the Charm Spirit, and he also became a disciple of Mengyuan Peak." Ning Hai's memory has never been very good, but he still has some impression of Cen Ji.
He remembered that Cen Ji had once taken the fire thunder whip for Ying'er. Later, Cen Ji seemed to have left the sect and no one could find him again.
Cen Ji had not returned to the sect for too long, so Mengyuan Peak expelled him. Because he left on his own and disappeared, no one in the sect cared about his whereabouts.
"That's right." He Qing nodded.
"But now he has a new identity: the Lord of the Demon Realm, Cen Ji."
He was also present on the day Mu Siyue came to see Yan Ying. Although they didn't speak loudly at the time, he didn't miss a word and heard everything they said clearly.
