The next day.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the woods through the thin morning mist, shining on a man with bloodshot eyes.

Xue Wen opened his red eyes and stared at the house where Qin Gengyun lived.

Xue Wu next to him opened his hazy eyes, shook his head, and said in surprise:

"Brother, have you really been watching all night?"

"Of course! What if that thief comes to harass the saint again at night?"

Xue Wen gritted his teeth and said, Xue Wu reminded helplessly:

"Brother, we have been hiding from place to place recently, and our spiritual energy has been greatly consumed. We need to rest well, but you stayed up all night like this, which is really not good for your health."

Xue Wen snorted coldly: "I will never let that bastard get close to the Saint again!"

At this time, the disciples of Zhenyang Sect in the village had already left their houses one after another. Xue Wu asked Xue Wen:

"Did that guy do anything last night?"

Xue Wen shook his head angrily: "I watched him all night, and he and the woman went to bed separately, without any action."

Xue Wuqi asked, "Didn't the woman leave at night?"

Xue Wen shook his head: "How can an adulterous couple bear to separate?"

Xue Wu was puzzled: "Zhenyang Sect has always regarded itself as a prestigious and upright sect, and it should not allow its disciples to have affairs. That woman did not leave last night. Isn't she afraid of being discovered in the morning?"

"Yeah, haha, this adulterous couple will be caught soon!"

Xue Wen laughed, but saw the door of the house where Qin Gengyun lived was opened, and he walked out, followed by a big bird, and there was no one else behind him.

Xue Wu was surprised: "Phoenix beast? Where did he get such a rare auspicious beast?"

Xue Wen was startled: "Where is that woman?"

He opened his eyes wide and waited for a long time, finally confirming that there was no one else in Qin Gengyun's room. He was immediately confused.

"What happened? I clearly didn't see that woman leave!"

At this time, the door of another room also opened, and Qiu Zhihe walked out from it. She looked delicate and gentle, and was particularly lovable.

Xue Wu said blankly: "I have never seen a saint behave like this."

Xue Wen said bitterly: "The Saint Girl really sacrificed a lot in order to sneak into the Zhenyang Sect!"

Soon all the disciples of Zhenyang Sect gathered together, and they all flew up on their swords and flew towards Qinglian Mountain.

Just as Qiu Zhihe was about to use her flying sword, Qin Gengyun had already boarded the Phoenix Bird and flew in front of her, holding out his hand to her:

"Junior Sister Ruo, shall we join together today?"

The other disciples of Zhenyang Sect were used to it, but Xue Wen and Xue Wu, who were hiding in the distance, opened their eyes wide in shock.

"What is this person going to do?"

"Does he want the Saint to share the same bed with him?!"

"You bold thief, you dare to flirt with the saint in public, don't you want to live?!"

Xue Wen opened his eyes wide, with a hint of gloating. With the Saint's temper, if anyone dared to tease her like this, they would definitely be severely punished!

He was already waiting for the saint to kick the big bird off this scoundrel.

The next moment, the brothers' eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.

The usually cold and arrogant saint hesitated for just a moment, then stretched out her hand, let the man hold her fair and tender little hand, and jumped onto the back of the phoenix beast.

That would have been fine, but the man actually skillfully put his arms around the saint's waist and made her sit in front of him.

In this way, the saint's whole body nestled in the man's arms.

This posture is so intimate that it is hard to look directly at.

The phoenix-beast spread its wings and flew into the sky, leaving only two brothers with idiotic looks on their faces on the ground.

Xue Wu muttered to himself: "How could this happen? Did we see it wrong?"

He was usually calm, but seeing with his own eyes the cold, proud and holy saint being held in the arms of a man and riding on the same bird together was still too shocking a scene.

He was so shocked, so Xue Wen was even more shocked.

At this time, Xue Wen was staring blankly at the sky. The fog had dissipated and the sun was shining brightly, but Xue Wen looked like he was in a world of ice and snow. His face was pale and his lips were trembling.

"Impossible, impossible..."

His mind was filled with the image of the saint's waist being tightly embraced by those dirty hands.

Xue Wen felt that breathing became difficult and he just hoped that he was dreaming.

Xue Wu quickly comforted him, "Maybe the Saint was just pretending to be affectionate with that man in order to conceal her tracks."

Xue Wen's eyes widened: "But that man was having sex with another woman last night! When the Saint was in Qinglian Mountain, when had she ever been so intimate with any man?"

Looking at his ferocious expression, Xue Wu sighed:

"Brother, there are many dangers ahead. Please do not act on your emotions. The Saint knows how to act. We should not speak rashly."

"The Saint Lady has already given instructions last night that they will go to Qinglian Mountain. Let's set off and wait for her in the back mountain first."

Xue Wen's chest rose and fell, he summoned his flying sword, and said loudly:

"Okay, let's go to Qinglian Mountain now. I want to ask the Saint in person what is going on."

…

In the clear sky, with light clouds and gentle breezes, a giant golden-winged bird was flying steadily above the clouds.

The couple sat on the bird's back in silence all the way.

Qin Gengyun put his arm around Qiu Zhihe's slender waist and looked down. There was a slight blush on his wife's fair face. When Qiu Zhihe noticed his gaze, her face immediately frowned.

Qin Gengyun suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek. Qiu Zhihe was startled and turned back to glare at him with a red face:

"what you do?!"

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "Madam, are you not angry anymore?"

Qiu Zhihe pursed her lips and slapped him angrily: "How can you be such a scoundrel!"

Qin Gengyun laughed and used his arms to hold her body. Qiu Zhihe struggled for a while and then let him do it.

After a moment, she said softly, "Husband, I'm not angry. I just don't want you to get involved in the feud between Qinglian Sect and the three major sects."

Last night, Qin Gengyun said that he would expose the true face of Zhenyang Sect, clear Qinglian Sect's name, and help Qiu Zhihe revive Qinglian Sect. However, he was angrily driven out of the room by Qiu Zhihe.

That's why there was a scene where Qin Gengyun tried to make his wife happy.

Just as Qiu Zhihe said, she kicked Qin Gengyun out of the room last night not because she was angry, but because she was afraid.

She was afraid that if she involved Qin Gengyun, one day she would have to watch her husband die because of her, just like she had witnessed her senior sister and master die in front of her.

Having experienced too many separations and deaths, she didn't dare to take the risk.

"My lady, don't you understand? I am already deeply involved and cannot back out."

Qin Gengyun said calmly.

Qiu Zhihe's beautiful eyes were filled with sadness, and she sighed softly:

"My dear husband, I'm sorry. I originally wanted you to stay in Zhenyang Sect and help you become the head of the sect. I wanted you to ascend to the Tao and live forever, but I didn't want you to be in danger."

Qin Gengyun tapped her head. Qiu Zhihe looked back at him in confusion. Qin Gengyun asked:

"I have ascended to immortality, what about you?"
