The next day, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the Kun-Lai Mountains within two hours.

Early in the morning, Yuan Lie got up from his hospital ward, went out to practice his combat form, cultivating spiritual energy at the moment when the sun first rose, absorbing the trace of spiritual energy that was produced every meeting of dawn.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Although this Guiyi Cultivation Method was only Kun-Lai’s most common cultivation exercise, it was extremely effective in strengthening the meridians and building a solid foundation. The subtlety of the Dao intent woven within invoked a melancholy sigh from him that Yun Lai had already left him behind over the years.

Every street outside Qingdi Peak was very lively now. Shops for various spiritual fruit basket gifts, parcels, and the hosting of spiritual pets were doing very good business.

Yuan Lie often couldn’t help comparing the Kun-Lai Sect in the Central Continent back then to now, and found that it was absolutely nothing compared to this place—a Ji Yunlai without burdens and shackles could accomplish so many great things.

But today, Yuan Lie found that the entire Qingdi Peak was in a panic, many shops were closed, and pedestrians came and went in a hurry, without any intention of stopping.

He also saw two acquaintances in a place marked with the word “Blood Bank”. He was taken aback for a while. He thought about several ways to identify human souls using Great Xuan’s techniques, and instinctively covered up the flaws that would be seen on his person.

But in the end, he couldn’t hold back, and he walked into the store curiously, looking at them with the curious face of a teenager.

They didn’t pay any attention to just an ordinary teenager who only cultivated the exercises of the outer sect and continued to argue with a middle-aged cultivator.

“Why did you lower the price?” Black Snake was so angry that scales appeared on his face, “Where else could you buy the spirit demon blood of a spirit demon at the Demigod Stage? You actually dare to suppress my price?”

“Sorry, it’s truly because we don’t dare to move the warehouse now.” The middle-aged cultivator next to him smiled bitterly, “Two hours ago, Lady Qingnu had already made an official request to ascend a mountain. Now the entire Qingdi Peak is thrown into unrest. You must have gone to several places before you found my place. Only our place is still collecting blood, but we don’t dare to collect too much either. If you are not satisfied, you can go to Danding Peak and try your luck there.”

Black Snake felt like the world had suddenly darkened: “So are you saying that we can’t even find a place to sell blood?”

“Qingdi Peak ascended a mountain?” Nightingale grasped the key point, “Yimeng Qingnu is ascending a mountain? I remember that if she ascends a mountain, she can open a new peak, and then all the land on it would be owned by herself… but she can’t take anyone with her.”

“So now the younger generation has already gone,” the middle-aged cultivator smiled bitterly, “Now the whole of Qingdi Peak are selling their real estate here, and buying new land on the new peak instead. The people who plan on going to Qingnu to register new dwellings and storefronts have already surrounded her tower. It’s completely packed with people.”

“Then what else is there to say, let’s just draw the blood quickly. It doesn’t matter if it’s cheap.” Black Snake and Nightingale exchanged glances and stretched out their arms.

Yuan Lie had never been so clearly aware of the fact that the Great Xuan Immortal Dynasty had died a long time ago. The dignified Great Xuan direct descendants, the victorious twin generals of the past, had now been reduced to the point of selling their own blood?

The middle aged cultivator took out two golden needles, drew two buckets of blood from the two seemingly thin arms, and then paid 300 high-grade spiritual stones which Black Snake swallowed excitedly into his stomach for safekeeping.

“Let’s go, we’ll also go to register.” Nightingale and Black Snake excitedly went up the mountain, “It doesn’t matter if it’s on the edges or smaller.”

“Yes, yes, if we have a house at Kun-Lai, then we can apply for the divine guardian beast position of Qingnu Peak!”

…This was too shameful, for goodness sake, your fiefdom was the entire Western Continent back then!

Shaking his head and sighing, Yuan Lie turned his head and watched curiously as the middle-aged cultivator collected the blood and ordered someone to send it to Miss Bai Yue. He couldn’t help but ask, “This uncle, Yimeng Qingnu ascending a mountain, has something happened? Why does it seem like such a big deal?”

“Are you here from the outer sect to treat your wounds?” The cultivator looked at his outer sect robes, his face was kind, and he didn’t have the arrogance of cultivators when speaking to ordinary people in Yuan Lie’s memory, “Yimeng Qingnu is quite a bigwig in Qingdi Peak. All these years, the original Peak Master Bai did not focus on the affairs of Qingdi Peak, and add to the fact that Qingdi Peak also encountered the matter of Danding Peak ascending a mountain from Qingdi Peak, Qingdi Peak seemed like it could not avoid the fate of decline. It was Qingnu who stepped forward to take care of the entire Qingdi Peak, and did a very good job of it too. The entire peak began to just see Peak Master Bai as a brand. Unfortunately, Peak Master Bai made a big mistake recently. Now Qingnu is leaving to open a mountain of her own, and everyone wants to go with Qingnu.”

“Then why doesn’t Qingnu just seize the authority of Qingdi Peak and directly take charge of Qingdi Peak?” Yuan Lie couldn’t understand. After coming to Qingdi Peak for a few days, he already knew what a huge family business it was here.

“That kind of vision is too small. How could Lady Qingnu care about a mere little family business on Qingdi Peak. So long as she is willing, everyone on Qingdi Peak will go with her. In fact, leaving might also be better, at least there will no longer be so many useless trash bringing trouble.” The middle-aged cultivator shook his head slightly, “Child, you must be prepared when you attend the Mountain Ascension Ceremony in the future. The seventy-two Kun-Lai peaks are not all equal in standards, and if you enter the wrong profession, then that will be quite the headache.”

Yuan Lie nodded and asked curiously: “Sir, you are not at all like the cultivators I imagined.”

“Don’t be deceived by those storytellers. The image of an aloof cultivator who sees ordinary people as nothing more than ants are not Kun-Lai cultivators.” The middle aged cultivator’s face told of his experience. With kindness for the younger generation in his tone, he imparted advice without holding back, “Us cultivators have seen the vastness of heaven and earth and will not kill people for just a little bit of treasure. We also know how big the world is, how small life is, and the only way we can better enter the foundation of cultivation is to have respect for life. Those so-called tales about high and mighty cultivators who live carefree and did as they pleased are just that, stories. There are many Kun-Lai cultivators, but we must also cooperate peacefully to go on expeditions to find new paths of cultivation from heaven and the earth. What you have to do now is to study hard at the outer sect, and lay a solid foundation for the bumpy road in the future. Only then will your cultivation path lead you farther.”

Yuan Lie was a little surprised, was this really just an understanding that a Golden Core Formation cultivator should have? Clearly, it should be an understanding that only the elders of the Demigod Stage, who have no worries about cultivation resources in the major sects of the Central Continent, should have realized!

Shouldn’t this kind of Golden Core Formation cultivator with mixed spiritual roots ingratiate himself for personal gain every day, work hard to get a strong backer within the inner sect, and leave more spiritual treasures and resource opportunities for their descendants?

He hesitated for a while before asking, “Then you, will you also go with Qingnu?”

“My cultivation path has basically reached its end, and I have taught many younger generations over the years. Peak Master Bai was also good to me back then, and I won’t leave for the time being. At least I must stay to see if the genius talent supported by Peak Master Bai is worth supporting.” The middle-aged cultivator patted his head and injected a strand of gentle spiritual energy into him, “You haven’t recovered yet, and it is windy on the mountain. The next generation of Kun-Lai will depend on you all.”

Yuan Lie left after thanking him.

He was still a little confused, was this just the occasional person from Kun-Lai, or was this the case for the entire sect? If it was the former then that was understandable, but if it was the latter, then with cultivators who possessed such cultivation and enlightenment, so long as Kun-Lai accumulated some more time, powerful and prosperous cultivators would inevitably spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

How had Yun Lai managed this!

On the way back to the hospital ward, he was still pondering about it, but when he returned to the tower, he was too stunned.

He only came out for barely two hours, but now the ground, sky, and water had already been occupied by various humans and spirit demons.

Beings from all walks of life were shouting.

“Is there anyone that sells the number in front of the queue, I will pay with a high price!”

“Is there any replacement plan for shops? The three buildings of Qingdi Peak on the most prosperous street, to be replaced with one acre of land on Qingnu Peak! As long as it is within ten miles of the new Qingnu Tower!”

“Low-cost shop, price negotiable, who wants?”

***

Yuan Lie even began to suspect whether this was really a sect of Dao cultivation and not that he had strayed into the vegetable market in the town where his mother often took him to visit.

And there were only more people on the way.

He thought of how he was now the current Sect Leader of Kun-Lai, and then thought of how he was now without cultivation and lacked a single spiritual stone to his name.

Yuan Lie suddenly felt that it was better to stay at the outer sect for now.

***

Jinping Peak, Baishui Palace.

As the residence of Bai Shuixian, one of the seven elders of Kun-Lai, this place was in charge of the authority to divide peaks within Kun-Lai.

Bai Shuixian had a feeling like the child had finally left her womb when she received the request to ascend a mountain from Yimeng Qingnu, which should have been made long ago.

“Absolutely not!” The pale-faced, bloodless Qingdi Peak Master Bai Liu coughed twice, the melancholy look between his brows even becoming even deeper, and he pleaded a little, “Qing’er, you are going to destroy Qingdi Peak.”

“I’m only leaving alone, and the supplies in the internal treasury account will not be touched. The follow-up plan for each injured person has also been prepared. I’m not asking for your permission.” Qingnu had a gentle expression and was smiling, “Elder Bai, please put your seal on it, and then I will ask the Sect Leader to do so as well.”

Ascension of a new mountain was a major event. It required not only the Baishui Palace, but also the final approval of the Sect Leader. Then the new peak master could choose a favorite peak among the Kun-Lai Mountains and open up a new peak. The seventy-two peaks of today had almost all come about like this.

It also effectively prevented the source of rigidity and hard feelings among the upper-levels of the various peaks—you don’t allow me to rise in position, and I also don’t like you, okay, we’ll go our separate ways, and our good disciples will be the ones to choose which of us they want to follow.

This was also the reason why Bai Liu was against Qingnu’s departure. If Qingnu ascended a mountain, it was a question of whether or not a small half of Qingdi Peak would even stay behind.

Talent was the foundation of a peak. If people leave, no matter how much resources were left, they would be used up sooner or later.

“Qing’er, if there is anything you are unsatisfied with we can simply discuss it,” Bai Liu whispered softly, “Don’t leave, Qingdi Peak can’t do without you.”

“True, and that’s why you’re afraid that I won’t take care of those people when you die, so you want to support a piece of trash to protect them.” Qingnu said gently, “But you’re right, when you die, I will drive out every single one of them from Qingdi Peak, even so, you want me to stay?”

“Qing’er, those people are not trash, they just don’t have spiritual roots or strong spiritual comprehension, this is something that cannot be changed by human effort,” Bai Liu sighed, “Their parents built Qingdi Peak back then, and even later died in the Outlands, if we don’t take care of them, how would there be anyone willing to die for Kun-Lai again?”

“Enough, you have said these words countless times,” Yimeng Qingnu shook her head, not wanting to talk to him anymore, and turned her head, “Elder Bai, I’m sorry to trouble you.”

“Fine.” Bai Shuixian picked up a gold seal and stamped it on the scroll handed by Yimeng Qingnu.

“No!” Bai Liu suddenly stretched out his hand to block the big seal.

“Hmm?” Bai Shuixian raised her beautiful eyebrows, lifted her hand and flicked her fingers, and in the light, almost casual gesture she had already waved the other several feet away, and slapped the scroll with a seal, “Tell the Sect Leader ‘no’.”

Bai Liu’s expression was bleak, and he didn’t speak anymore.

“Thank you Elder Bai.” Yimeng Qingnu bowed gracefully, took the scroll in her hand, and turned to leave.

An unprecedented feeling of ease left her in a very happy mood, she turned to see her cousin Bai Yue who was listening outside the door, and gave her a rare sincere smile.

“You can’t go!” Bai Yue screamed, she never thought that Qingnu’s appeal in Qingdi Peak was so strong, but less than two hours after the news came out, more than 70% of the disciples were ready to leave. If it was like this, even if they really took charge of Qingdi Peak, it was useless. They couldn’t control Qingdi Peak at all. “Your father’s mistakes in those days killed so many people. You must stay in Qingdi Peak to atone for them!”

But Yimeng Qingnu had already left.

Bai Liu sighed lowly and went back with his indignant daughter.

In the water pavilion, the tall young man who was waiting for them to return was still shirtless and looked at them expressionlessly.

“There’s nothing to be done, Elder Bai has already allowed it, and the Sect Leader will definitely allow her request as well.” Bai Yue whispered, “What’s to be done now.”

Seeing the worried appearance of the two, the tall young man suddenly asked in a low voice, “If Qingnu dies, she can’t ascend a mountain, right?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“…” Bai Yue didn’t speak, but her eyes lit up, and after a while, she even became excited by the thought, “Or if she was seriously injured by the spirit demons, it would be difficult for her to ascend a mountain. I heard that they are planning to work together this time to create a new flying peak, if there is a conflict between the spirit demons and the humans at this juncture, it will definitely be no problem, and if Feng Qingxiu is hurt as a result, the Sect Leader will definitely take his anger out on her, and then she will be even less likely to ascend a mountain!”

Bai Liu looked at them in shock, as if it was the first time he had come to know these two children who he had raised since childhood.

Yuan Lie did not have the heart to listen in class recently, but instead turned his eyes frequently to a beautiful girl in the classroom.

In fact, he had already seen countless peerlessly beautiful women before. Although the girl’s aura and appearance were all superior, in fact, she was not the most outstanding, but he still couldn’t help but watch her.

He had already learned her name, and her name was Ji Mingyu.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Ji Mingyu, a person who possessed such a powerful fortune, and he also heard that the daughter of Kun-Lai’s Sect Leader was also called Fairy Mingyu…

Is this his daughter?

Why does he have a daughter, doesn’t he like men only?

But now, when he looked closely, he realized that this girl named Mingyu was actually quite similar to him in appearance.

It was just that her aura was not as gentle as water as his was in the past, and there was none of that bright confidence and open-mindedness either. At that time, Yun Lai shone into his world like sunshine.

The aura of this girl couldn’t compare.

But back then, Yun Lai once brought back a baby girl whose parents had passed away from the clan, saying that this girl looked like him and could be raised as a daughter in the future. He then asked him if he would like to be her family member.

Unfortunately, because of the misunderstanding that Yun Lai was the High Priest, he threw the baby girl who had just learned to call out ‘father’ into an ice well, and angered him so much that he vomited blood…

No, no, these were all things from a previous life.

Stop thinking about it.

He took his revenge. Back then, his Calamity Sword slashed his soul into pieces. If he hadn’t acquired a rare treasure, he wouldn’t even be able to reincarnate. Even so, he had died prematurely due to the wound in his soul in several lifetimes. He must definitely have put aside these past events by now.

Otherwise, how could he accept an apprentice again.

***

What was so good about that Feng Qingxiu? How could he have earned his favor?

Back then, he used Great Xuan’s many years of accumulated techniques to provide him with a lot of inspiration, which made him think that he was a natural talent, and even communicated with him on an equal footing during discussions.

That kind of personality fit was the reason why they finally came together.

He was willing to accept me at that time, so who cares about that Feng Qingxiu!

He was just an ordinary disciple!

As long as he showed his ability, he would definitely let him see how good he was, and then he could become his apprentice again.

But, how could he show his ability?

This outer sect was simply his shackles!

Yuan Lie couldn’t help but glance at the girl who looked like a fairy.

Ji Mingyu, this name did not actually roll off the tongue very smoothly, Li Mingyu sounded better, even Yuan Mingyu was not bad…

He had been thinking about this issue, even thinking about it until he went to bed at night, and even absentmindedly spoke the new name with a smile.

Then he was beaten up violently by Ye Han!

Ye Han didn’t like this guy for a long time, and now he discovered that this guy actually wanted Mingyu to take his surname!

This guy should pee and look at his reflection! As if he was even worthy!

Although Yuan Lie fought hard, he was too weak now physically, and he was not Ye Han’s opponent. Soon after, one of them was carted off to the Mountain Patrol Bureau and the other was brought on a stretcher to Qingdi Peak.

Yimeng Qingnu spent a lot of effort to wake Yuan Lie up.

And she liked this patient case very much. She decided to let him stay, telling him that he didn’t have to work too hard, and she could tutor him for the upcoming exams.

Now, Yuan Lie was almost grateful to Ye Han who nearly beat him to death.

He finally reached the inner sect.

Maybe, he could even catch a glimpse of Yun Lai from a distance?

***

On Qingdi Peak, Yimeng Qingnu returned to her tower as usual, and quickly dealt with some miscellaneous matters piled up on Qingdi Peak.

Then quickly browsed the recent patient’s situation.

Finally, she took inventory of the things on Qingdi Peak again to see how much money was left.

“Can our flying peak be used again?” Qingnu asked in a low voice.

“It should be fine for short distances, but not for hundreds of thousands of miles,” someone next to her replied, “About 100,000 miles in, there will be a major failure. Our flying peak was one of the first batch created, and it has already been used for hundreds of years. The spiritual vein core has approached its limit, and it may break at any time.”

This kind of thing, one could usually fly it around Kun-Lai Mountain, but if they tried to fly it to the Outlands where there were countless dangers, then it was not taking the lives of the people on the peak seriously, and the elders would not allow it.

“Say, if I fight Bai Liu with my life, would he dare to kill me?” Yimeng Qingnu asked softly, playing with the knife held in her fingers.

The person next to her was stunned silent.

Yimeng Qingnu chuckled and walked out of the tower.

No one stopped her, no one dared to stop what she wanted to do.

After just a few landings, she had already reached the mountainside. Among the layers of forest, faintly revealing the graceful appearance of towers and waterside pavilions, was the other courtyard residence of the Peak Master, where Bai Liu had taken to staying recently.

But she keenly smelled a trace of blood.

It was very fresh. It smelled of a cloud turtle’s spirit demon blood. She could easily distinguish hundreds of different kinds of spirit demon blood in Kun-Lai by relying on the techniques she cultivated.

Something was wrong.

Yimeng Qingnu pondered a bit, then faded from sight, slowly approaching the water pavilion. She and Ying An have always been friendly, and thus had learned a lot of concealment techniques from him.

In the water pavilion, a girl looked at a young man with sadness between her brows.

“Recently, there has been less and less spirit demon blood,” said the young man.

“The blood of the spirit demons also takes time to boil, and preparations for the expedition have been going on recently, so the spirit demons selling blood are all asking for a higher price. Recently, the resources of Qingdi Peak have been kept a close eye on by Qingnu, and my father is trying to find a way.” Bai Yue comforted him.

“It’s that hag Qingnu again!” The young man’s voice was cold, suffused with murderous intent, “My Sky Swallowing Method has reached a key juncture, and spirit demon blood no longer satisfies it.”

“You have already swallowed all the spirit demon cores in the inventory on the peak, and father is still mustering up more for you, so don’t be impatient,” Bai Yue was also worried, but she couldn’t think of a way. “My father is the Master of Qingdi Peak. Those people will always want to give him face. As long as you break through into the Demigod Stage, father will apply for you to join Kun-Lai. At that time, as a descendant of a cultivator who died in battle for Kun-Lai, you will definitely be able to suppress Qingnu and regain power within the peak. And this time there is no new flying peak, so the disciples of Qingdi Peak can only go to other main peaks to ride their flying peaks, and her prestige will be greatly reduced.”

***

Qingnu didn’t want to listen anymore.

If she listened to it any more, she would definitely go crazy.

She now knew why Bai Liu took away the resources of Qingdi Peak at this critical juncture, leaving her helpless and forced to ask friends for help.

“Are you very troubled?” Not far away, a black-robed youth was leaning against a tree. The pattern of tripod cauldrons on his black robe was imposing, and he had a smile on his face. He was her nemesis.

“Hmph, I know you have your hand in this matter.” Qingnu said coldly.

“I’m wronged,” Qiu Yuansheng said with an aggrieved expression, “It’s not as if you don’t know how much your Peak Master uncle values ​​his trash, so suddenly one of his trash turns out to not be trash, he must definitely cherish it.”

“That person was an ordinary person with no spiritual roots a year ago. He was humiliated and then jumped off into the Jiuqu River. When he was fished back up, he was dead with no sign of his soul. I diagnosed and treated him myself. There is no mistake.” Qingnu looked coldly at Qiu Yuansheng, “Bai Liu took him to find you, and wanted you to save him with a Soul-Returning Pill.”

“Yes, after I made an offer at the time, you didn’t want to give the money, and you were slapped in the face by the Peak Master. And so publicly in front of us, it was really loud indeed.” Qiu Yuansheng responded with a smile.

“If it wasn’t for your offer, my flying peak would have already existed.” Qingnu knew she couldn’t be thrown into a rage by him again, “So, what are you trying to say?”

“My offer was not too high at all, that was a medicinal pill that could heal powerful cultivators at the Synthesis Stage, and there were only three left on Danding Peak.” Qiu Yuansheng said with a smile, “But the effect is also very good, look at that person, after he ate it, it was like he had been reborn, and even his spiritual roots were revealed. Not to mention, it has only been one year, but he is now already at the Nascent Soul Stage. Although half of the good things from your Qingdi Peak were swallowed up by him, in the end you still managed to build up an expert master cultivator right?”

Qingnu turned around and left.

“I can give you a chance at getting the flying peak instead.” Qiu Yuansheng said indifferently, confident that everything was as he predicted, “You don’t really want Qingdi Peak to fall into his hands, do you?”

Qingnu paused.

“Now, I’m here to work with you.”

“You would have such good intentions?” Qingnu didn’t believe it at all.

“I received news that the Sect Leader’s apprentice has already promised to cooperate with you,” Qiu Yuansheng said slowly, “I also want to have a share.”

“Hmph,” Qingnu gave him a cold look, “I don’t allow it.”

Qiu Yuansheng was stunned, this was different from the plan.

“I’m already preparing to take my people to ascend a mountain and establish a Qingnu Peak.” Seeing his expression, Yimeng Qingnu laughed mockingly, “I’ll just leave this Qingdi Peak for him to toss about with. At that time, I will no longer have any shackles holding me back. Let’s see who will win then!”

After speaking, she turned and left.

Qiu Yuansheng stood for a while before scratching his head in distress.

Damn, it turned out that the greatest pig teammates would not only pull the back legs of allies, but also the hind legs of the enemy…

However, it was no big deal that this plan did not work, he could just change the plan. At that time, Qingdi Peak might be the first main peak of Kun-Lai to decline in a hundred years.

Witnessing history!

Tsk, I’m a staunch villain, and I can’t let myself be shaken anymore.

***

Ji Yunlai was drawing a frame with his apprentice.

“Xiao Qing is so smart.” He praised as he drew. Ji Yunlai found out that his apprentice was really talented, learning everything instantly with just a brief explanation from him. He even wondered if he should open a public class,  such was his talent as a teacher.

Recently, Taiyi Peak’s talisman wards were all stacked, and there was no simplified algorithm innovation.

By changing many different places, the consumption of spiritual stones could be reduced by at least 10%, which was an astronomical figure.

And the fact that he was helping his apprentice to make a flying peak had already spread all over the inner peaks—the Sect Leader took out the materials for making a flying peak but did not give it to Taiyi Peak, so it must be that it was being made by the Sect Leader himself!!!

Many people from Taiyi Peak had already been queuing up to come and learn.

“How many gifts did my apprentice receive today?” Ji Yunlai looked at his apprentice with a smile.

Feng Qingxiu took out a pouch and emptied it out.

All kinds of beautifully packaged gift boxes instantly filled the small courtyard, and then his apprentice looked at him with a little grievance: “Master, I am too stupid, I couldn’t find a way to refuse.”

If he didn’t accept it just now, the people outside the courtyard would have swallowed him with their sorrowful looks, let alone allow him to enter his master’s dwelling.

Ji Yunlai smiled lightly: “Then let them come in and also learn, but only twenty people.”

***

With the divine words of the Sect Leader spoken, Taiyi Peak lined up all kinds of conditions to pick 20 people like one would hold a beauty pageant in four hours, and entered the Sect Leader’s courtyard with the devoutness of a pilgrim.

Ji Yunlai lectured in detail at the same pace he used to teach his apprentice, and Feng Qingxiu tried his hand while listening.

And those few people quickly began taking notes, only to soon begin doubting life.

“We have also studied for hundreds of years, why is it so difficult to understand?” someone asked.

“Yes, how does Feng Qingxiu learn so easily?”

“Stop talking nonsense, we must make the most of our time.”

“When we have to go, we must ask Senior Brother Feng to explain to us.”

“You’re right, I’ll open Taiyi Peak’s warehouse when I return!”

“Did I remember this seal correctly?”

“Why do we all remember it differently?”

“…”

“Is that Feng Qingxiu really human? Are you sure he isn’t some monster from somewhere?”

“Be quiet, the Sect Leader can hear you!”

***

AN: an extra scene below.

“Yun, it’s New Year’s Eve.” Qing said to him.

Ji Yunlai silently looked at the diagram in his hand without speaking.

“I’ve already calculated this out for you, so no need to be so busy.” Qing’s tone was brisk, subtly asking for praise.

Ji Yunlai pointed and asked, “How do you know this?”

“I’ve watched you calculate it every day.” Qing said matter-of-factly, “And you have sorted it out in your sea of consciousness before.”

“Then why can’t Taiyi Peak learn it?” Ji Yunlai asked coldly.

“I’ve been with you for many years, so of course I can learn it, but when you talk about it, you naturally slip in discrete mathematics and functional analysis in the talisman wards, so no one could understand it.” Qing comforted him, “If you teach them everything from basic to advanced mathematics, they will definitely learn.”

“I have to start with the basic quadratic equation involving one variable?” Ji Yunlai asked.

“Shouldn’t you?” Qing asked strangely.

“Should I?” Ji Yunlai looked indifferent, not feeling that he had the ability to teach others calculus.

“Shouldn’t you?” Qing asked strangely, this was not difficult.

Then he was locked in a small dark room again.

***

When he came out, New Year’s was over.

Qing was very disappointed.

But Ji Yunlai never cared about his feelings.

“Yun, I’ve already written the second half of the logic this time, please take a look.” Qing said to him in an eager manner for praise.

“It’s well written,” Ji Yunlai read it carefully, “Just fix the bugs in some places and it can be used.”

“Great!” Qing was very happy, “This is my New Year’s gift to you.”

“Hmm, your divine consciousness is very powerful, but I was negligent.” Yun threw out a bunch of topics for him, “Write well.”

“Yes, sir.” After Qing finished speaking, he suddenly became a little awkward, “Yun~”

“What?” Ji Yunlai asked.

“Can you give me a gift too?” Qing asked shyly.

“What do you want?” Ji Yunlai’s calm tone was as usual.

“Look in the mirror, I want to see what you look like.” Qing said with a hint of excitement in his voice.

“Didn’t you see it in my sea of consciousness?” Ji Yunlai asked.

“It’s different.” Qing objected anxiously.

“What’s the difference?” Ji Yunlai didn’t feel any difference.

“…Anyway, it’s just different.” Qing’s voice paused and gradually weakened.

He wanted to see the real Yun, he just wanted to see.

***

“Yun, if I were a human, would you have fallen in love with me?” It was the Qixi Festival again, everyone was flying up and down in Kun-Lai, everywhere pairs of lovers could be seen.

“I will never love anyone.” Ji Yunlai said.

“You can’t use the Calamity Sword forever. Although I helped you stop the other great celestial demons, there will always be a day when your seven emotions can return to your body, and you will fall in love with another person again.” Qing said reasonably, he also poked at the trace of soul intent on his body, “Yun, your heart is very soft.”

Ji Yunlai said indifferently, “So there’s no need for it.”

Qing was stunned for a moment, only to realize that what he said was that he didn’t need a soft heart.

“Yun, I have protected your heart for a long time, and I won’t let it be hurt again.” Qing assured him.

“No need.”

Qing was sad.

***

“Yun, I like you.” Qing said to him.

He had been preparing for a long time. Today was a good day, the first snow had fallen, and the person who confessed on this day was blessed to grow old with the one they love.

Ji Yunlai turned a deaf ear.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“I figured it out, and I’m not afraid to say it. You won’t shut me in the little room because of this.” Qing’s voice was full of confidence, “You won’t mind that I like you.”

“Oh.” Ji Yunlai responded.

“There’s actually an advantage to being unable to have any feelings,” Qing’s voice lowered, with a little self-deprecation, “Even if I’m not by your side in the future, you won’t be lonely.”
