No matter how much everyone despises him, the old god Xie Ningyuan is here, "If there is no spirit stone, I will go up and rest. I will give it to you or not as you wish."
Everyone was holding their breath, but they couldn't help the curiosity in their hearts.
While hesitating, Lu Sangjiu happily handed out ten middle-grade spiritual stones and said, "Here you go!"
Once she opened the door, others did not hesitate and donated generously.
Only Gu Jue looked a little embarrassed...because most of his spiritual stones were given to Lu Sangjiu, and he only had five middle-grade spiritual stones left in his hand to pay for the hotel room.
So even if he wanted to know his master's past, he couldn't come up with so many spiritual stones.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Gu Jue's face felt a little hot, he pursed his lips and stood up and said, "You guys continue."
Xie Ningyuan raised the corners of her lips slightly, feeling relieved.
He knew that this guy must be out of money.
However, seeing Gu Jue about to leave, Lu Sangjiu suddenly stopped him, took out ten middle-grade spiritual stones and placed them in front of Xie Ningyuan.
"Gu Jue, I'll give you your share, sit down!"
Xie Ningyuan's face turned dark immediately, "Help him give it...Are you rich?"
Lu Sangjiu didn't understand why, "You are doing it to make money, who among us will give it or not?"
"Gu Jue just gave me all the spirit stones. It's normal for me to take them for him."
Xie Ningyuan: "..."
Gu Jue, Gu Jue, what you call is affectionate!
Gu Jue was also a little embarrassed when he was told, "Fellow Daoist Lu, let's forget it. How could I ask you to help me get the spirit stone..."
"What can't you do?" Lu Sangjiu said boldly, "We are all friends, there is no need to be so polite, come and sit down!"
Gu Jue felt warm in his heart. Hearing Lu Sangjiu say to sit down, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the empty seat next to her.
He was sitting on the other side just now. Now since Fellow Daoist Lu asked him to sit over there, it shouldn't be surprising for him to come over, right?
There was a smile on his face, and he was about to go over, but Xie Ningyuan suddenly raised his hand and used magic to push the chair on the other side of Lu Sangjiu further away.
Amid everyone's strange looks, Xie Ningyuan said calmly: "Poor people should sit farther away from me. I'm afraid of infection."
Everyone: "..."
Gu Jue pursed his lips, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, but said nothing, silently turned around and sat back down in his original position.
Lu Sangjiu couldn't help but said, "Xie Ningyuan, what you said is a bit too much. Gu Jue didn't recruit or provoke you, so why are you targeting him?"
Xie Ningyuan glanced at her sideways, "What, you're not convinced? Do you still want to hear the story?"
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
Angry.
But she really wanted to hear it, mainly because she wanted others to know, otherwise she would panic herself.
Gu Jue also spoke in a low voice at this time, "It's okay, fellow Daoist Lu, don't worry about me."
Lu Sangjiu felt a little guilty because she was ready to compromise for the sake of gossip even if Gu Jue didn't tell her.
With a slight cough, she cast a reassuring look at Gu Jue, "Don't be as knowledgeable as him, he is such a weirdo!"
A faint smile appeared on Gu Jue's face, "Well, it doesn't matter."
Compared with being annoyed by Xie Ningyuan, for him, Lu Sangjiu would choose to speak for him, which made him happier. The embarrassment was nothing.
Xie Ningyuan saw the two of them flirting with each other, raised his hand and knocked on the table angrily, "Quiet, do you want to hear the story again?"
Only then did everyone return their attention to Xie Ningyuan, waiting for him to continue his story.
"The birth of the Immortal Sword Fengming caused strange phenomena in the world, and many monks nearby came to check it out.
"What's even more unfortunate is that among them... there was the then Palace Master of the Moon Palace, Demon Cultivator Guhuang."
Although Lone Phoenix has been missing for a hundred years, her name is still well-known to many people in the world of immortality.
At this time, Chi Yan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is it the solitary phoenix, the top demon cultivator in the tribulation period?!"
Feng Lin also had a worried look on his face, "It is rumored that this person kills without blinking an eye and is extremely vicious. How did the Unreturnable Sword Master and the injured Senior Hua survive when they met this person?"
Hearing Feng Lin's description, Xie Ningyuan gently pulled the corners of his lips, revealing a sarcastic smile.
"If she was really vicious, it wouldn't be those people's turn to orchestrate her like this."
Feng Lin was stunned, and he could clearly hear some underlying sarcasm in his words.
But it's not like it's because of her, but because of her words?
Even Chi Yan on the side was a little confused, "Huh? Fellow Daoist Xie, what do you mean... Guhuang is not as murderous as the rumors say?"
Xie Ningyuan didn't mean to say more. After all, everyone had this impression. No matter how much he said, he would not easily change their minds.
"You will know what kind of person she is after listening to my story."
It was only then that Lu Sangjiu suddenly realized something and glanced at Xie Ningyuan.
So...from the very beginning, he agreed to tell this story, was this actually the reason?
They are all her friends, and sooner or later they will have to face the issue of their side after her identity is exposed.
Although she never thought about letting them help her, if they misunderstood her and broke up with her, she... would also be sad, right?
Xie Ningyuan wanted to start with Gu Huang's past and subtly change their inherent views on demon cultivators, paving the way for her identity to be exposed in the future.
When they discovered that not all demonic cultivators were as vicious as in the legend, then when they found out that she was also a demonic cultivator, it was naturally not so hard to accept.
Lu Sangjiu took a deep look at Xie Ningyuan and slowly lowered his eyes.
As a companion... there is probably no one who can do better than Xie Ningyuan.
Xie Ningyuan’s story continues.
"Although Lone Phoenix has arrived, she is a demon cultivator and is not very interested in immortal weapons. She only hides in the dark and watches the immortal cultivators competing for the Fengming Sword. She is just watching the excitement."
"At that time, it was not far from the battlefield of immortals and demons, and there were several monks in the god-transformation stage nearby. After they arrived one after another, they were constantly fighting for the Fengming Sword."
"Jian Bugui, who was seriously injured, Hua Jianzhi had no intention of fighting for it, but...Jian Bugui was born with a sword body and was extremely talented in the way of the sword. Even if he had no intention of fighting for it, Fengming Sword chose him. "
When Gu Jue heard this, he couldn't help showing admiration on his face. Although he couldn't see it with his own eyes, the master at that time must have been a young genius that everyone was looking for, right?
Feng Lin was even more curious about the development of the matter, "Did Feng Mingjian recognize its master on its own?"
"That's not true."
Xie Ningyuan said, "Although Jian Bugui had outstanding talent in swordsmanship at that time, it was a pity that he was already in the golden elixir stage and already had his own magic weapon."
"Fengming Sword was probably not satisfied with this, so it did not recognize its owner on its own. It just left the battlefield while everyone was fighting for it and flew to Jian Bugui who was about to take Hua Jianzhi away."
Chi Yan was shocked, "With so many people watching, wouldn't it be bad luck if you don't return to the Sword Master?"
