But the way they looked at Yunzhi was full of sincerity, and they didn't seem to be lying or having hidden agendas.
The two quickly came to the conclusion that their master was really bewitched by the vixen.
They remained calm and continued chatting with Yunzhi. It wasn't until midnight that Yunzhi reluctantly separated from Xiaoxuan and returned to the room with Qing'er.
As soon as the two entered the door, Qing'er immediately locked the door and set up several layers of barriers. Then he turned around and hugged Yunzhi's shoulders with both hands, shaking Yunzhi violently, "Master, wake up, wake up quickly."
Yunzhi slapped Qing'er's hand away and rolled his eyes, "What are you talking about? I'm not drunk."
Qing'er asked straight to the point, "Master, do you really have a vixen friend named Xiaoxuan?"
Yunzhi looked at her, and his response changed from decisive at first to a little hesitant, "Of course I have..."
Qing'er shook his head and said, "But I have never heard Master say this, and I feel that with Master's temperament, it is impossible to be friends with goblins. Besides, what happened today was really deliberate in retrospect. Master, don't forget it. We encountered so many strange things along the way..."
Qing'er then leaned close to Yunzhi's ear and told Yunzhi everything she saw today.
Yunzhi's brows gradually furrowed, "But I do know Xiaoxuan. I still remember every detail of our encounter with her. We did have a good relationship at the time... But what you said makes sense."
Yunzhi felt that her mind was in a mess, and there were two opposing forces pulling on her. One force told her that there was something fishy about this matter, while the other force said that Xiaoxuan was real, and her deep relationship with Xiaoxuan Feelings are real too.
"How about this," Yunzhi pulled Qing'er to sit on the stool, "I will tell you everything I remember about Xiaoxuan. Let's go and see if there is anything abnormal. The situation has been special recently. Everything really needs to be done. Watch out."
But until the light finally broke, Yunzhi and Qing'er repeatedly investigated and found nothing unusual in their story.
The two of them were just Yunzhi, who rescued a dying little fox from a hunter's trap when she was young, and kindly healed her. After the little fox recovered from her injury, she vowed to repay Yunzhi's kindness. Speaking of which, it is a very common story.
Finally, Yunzhi rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Maybe we have been too sensitive recently. She and I are really friends. I am hundreds of years old, and people cannot remain the same. Besides, my temperament now is indeed different from when I was young. It's very big. If you think there's something wrong with her, just wait until the rain stops and we say goodbye. She can't keep pestering us."
Qing'er sighed and nodded.
But the rain didn't stop for three consecutive days, and because of the continuous rain, the road conditions were even worse, making it difficult to leave for a while.
Yunzhi has hated rainy weather since she was a child. Raining for a long time will make her inexplicably irritable, but with Xiaoxuan as her company, Yunzhi actually feels that these three days have passed very quickly. Xiaoxuan's temper is very to Yunzhi's liking. The two of them are like old friends for many years. Even if they can't go out to play, they can just chat from day to night. Yunzhi only feels that it is too late to meet each other.
But when Yunzhi calmed down, she felt more and more that something was wrong, because Xiaoxuan knew her habits and hobbies very well. Even she couldn't remember some small details, but Xiaoxuan knew them all.
Yunzhi was very puzzled by this matter. She had been wary of Xiaoxuan since Qing'er warned her that day, but in the past few days, she had never found any malice in Xiaoxuan. Instead, she relied heavily on herself and only wanted to accompany her, regardless of her words or deeds. There's nothing wrong with his behavior either.
Therefore, Yunzhi was ready to put this matter aside and enjoy the peace before the Immortal Sect Competition. After another two days, Xiaoxuan's secret was revealed.
It was Youshi, and the four of them had finished lunch and had just returned to their rooms. Xiaoxuan thoughtfully ordered a pot of hawthorn fruit tea for Yunzhi and told Yunzhi that drinking hawthorn tea after meals would help strengthen the stomach and digestion. Yunzhi smiled and nodded at first. The moment her hand touched the tea cup, she suddenly paused. She felt that her mind suddenly became clear.
With that simple sentence, Yunzhi realized that Xiaoxuan in front of her still felt very familiar to her, and Yunzhi was already very familiar with this sense of familiarity.
Yunzhi's face sank, and he took out a knife with a charm from his sleeve. He put it neatly on the neck of Xiao Xuan who was serving tea with his right hand. At the same time, he grabbed a silver whip in the air with his left hand. Appearing in her hands, the next moment, the silver whip tied Xiaoxuan tightly.
The other three people were shocked by this sudden change. Xiaoxuan, in particular, looked shocked and aggrieved. She said to Yunzhi in a delicate tone, "Zhier, what are you doing? You hurt Xiaoxuan."
"Who are you!" Yunzhi said through gritted teeth. Her intuition never failed, so although Xiaoxuan still existed in her memory, Yunzhi no longer believed her at all because of that inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Yunzhi felt that she had been manipulated by others all the way, and she was not even able to see the person's true form, which made her very angry.
Xiaoxuan's voice trembled, "Zhi'er, I'm afraid..."
Yunzhi put the knife on her neck closer, "Stop pretending, tell me! What are your intentions after following us all the way!"
Xiaoxuan shook his head vigorously, his tone full of panic, "I didn't follow you all the way. I just met you by chance. I'm really happy to meet you again. I'm just here to repay my kindness..."
Suddenly, Yunzhi sneezed loudly again. She stared coldly at Xiaoxuan's face for a long time, and finally reluctantly put away the knife, loosened the ties, and said in a very cold voice, "Repay the favor?"
Although Yunzhi felt that Xiaoxuan was not lying, there was a voice in her heart telling her, "Don't believe this person, there must be something wrong with this person..." This made her no longer have the good attitude toward Xiaoxuan that she had before.
Xiaoxuan nodded wildly.
Yunzhi snorted coldly, thought for a moment, stretched out his hand to Xiaoxuan, "I can repay the favor, I'll give it to you."
?
Xiaoxuan's face showed a rare trace of confusion, "What did you bring?"
"Gold and silver treasures, rare treasures, secret books, or power? Didn't you say that you want to repay your kindness? What do you want to give me? Everything I said is fine, I don't choose."
Xiaoxuan was stunned, then silently lowered his head without saying a word.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Yunzhi added, "I see that you have high-quality food and clothing in this inn. Don't tell me that you have no money."
Xiaoxuan's eyes wandered, and she whispered, "I'm sorry...I can't give you any of this."
"?"
"But I can send you to the Immortal Sect Competition!"
…
There was a long silence.
Yunzhi laughed angrily. They only had two days' drive from Beizhen Sect, and it would take a few hours for Yujian Flight to arrive. At this time, he said that he could give them a ride as repayment. What kind of repayment was this!
…
Two days later, Yunzhi was helped out of the carriage by Xiaoxuan himself with a cold face. Xiaoxuan really did what he said. Apart from sending them to the Beizhen Sect, he really didn't give them a penny.
Xiaoxuan apologized and rented a luxurious four-horse carriage to send them off, but it was really conspicuous along the way. After arriving at the place, Yunzhi ordered Xiaoxuan to park the carriage far away in order to keep a low profile and not attract attention, so that Yunzhi and the three of them could only walk the last way carrying their luggage.
Standing at the door of Beizhen Sect, Yunzhi let out a long sigh. Looking back on the journey of half a month, she found it difficult to describe it in words.
Xiaoxuan stood beside the carriage, watching the three of them leave quietly, until the three of them could no longer be seen. The cute and sweet smile on Xiaoxuan's face disappeared instantly. She waved her hand, and the carriage beside her disappeared. Walking forward, the figure gradually disappeared with the pace. The passers-by around her seemed not to have seen this strange scene, and were still talking and laughing on their way as usual.
skyline.
Fu Cang walked straight to a palace with a cold face. He was looking for his good brother Hengqiu who had tricked him in the mortal world and gave him bad ideas.
At that time, Hengqiu was refining weapons in the back garden. He was floating in the air with his eyes closed, and there was a cauldron in front of him. He felt Fu Cang's aura. He didn't get up. He just opened his eyes and saw Fu Cang walking over with a frosty face. He smiled and said, "What's going on with the noble Fu Cang God today? This soaring anger will pass through." My cauldron has affected my refining of weapons. Who in the world can make the Lord God angry?"
"Zhier"
Hengqiu smiled even more happily, "She's the only one left. Let's talk about it. What's wrong?"
Fucang suddenly hesitated at this time, "I...she will find out every time I pretend to be around her. Do you have a good way to solve this problem?"
The smile on Hengqiu's face froze, "You went down to earth to see her again?"
Fu Cang was silent.
"She is going down to earth to experience calamity. Don't you understand what calamity is? If you affect her calamity, what should you do?"
Fucang knew he was in the wrong, but remained silent.
Hengqiu naturally knew what Fucang was thinking. He sighed deeply and stood in front of Hengqiu, "You always said before that I should let go of my obsession. Didn't you gradually develop your obsession? That's all, you just What do you want me to do for you?"
"I want you to help me make a magic weapon that hides my aura so that Zhi'er won't find out it's me."
Hengqiu looked at Fucang, with no clue what he was thinking. He smiled softly for a while and patted Fucang on the shoulder, "Of course, I can add other effects. After you have this magic weapon, Not only will Zhi'er no longer recognize you, but if you don't touch her, she will forget you within three days, and no matter what you do, it will not affect her fate, and the same goes for other mortals. But..."
Fucang knew what Hengqiu meant and asked directly, "What do you want?"
"Qi Qi Ding."
"What do you want this for?"
"Just tell me whether you want to give it or not."
Fucang was silent and nodded, "Yes."
The Qi Qi Ding is an ancient treasure. Hengqiu is good at refining magic weapons. It will be of great benefit to him to have this treasure. Hengqiu, like Yunzhi, was trained as an immortal by mortals, and now controls a palace in the heaven. Hengqiu was famous for being good at refining weapons in the mortal world, and even more so after he became an immortal. Fucang knew that he had been tinkering with things in the past few years without telling everyone. He didn't ask, and neither did Zhi'er. It was the three of them. tacit understanding between them.
"Then you go to Hongchi Mountain in the mortal world in half a month and find a person named Chiliu Mountain to retrieve the treasure."
"Who is this?" Fucang was puzzled.
"It's my avatar in the mortal world. I will come down to earth tomorrow."
