At the foot of Weishan Mountain, deep in the dense jungle.

"I am smiling to the sky with my horizontal sword, how can I save my liver and gallbladder?"

Xuan Jue, who had just separated from Pei Wende not long ago, was standing respectfully next to the young girl in white clothes, or Pei Hui, who had taken off her disguise.

"As expected, he is indeed my younger brother in this life. He is both excellent in ability and character."

There is no such coquettish and domineering behavior as when she was at Tongqing Temple. At this moment, Pei Hui only has a kind of calmness and indifference.

"On the contrary, you have done so many things behind my back, and you don't even want to explain it?"

Pei Hui's understatement was not harsh, but Xuan Jue's expression suddenly changed, and then he lowered his head silently without saying a word.

"I just asked you to find a way to break Pei Wende's cultivation foundation and make him a mortal for the rest of his life..."

"But what were you doing just now? Why did you show up to remind him?"

Xuan Jue awakened the mandrill and taught him the "method of transforming into a dragon" in order to steal Pei Wende's essence and completely disqualify him from practicing Taoism.

At that time, Pei Wende must follow him home to recognize his relatives, even if it is just to maintain his vitality and save his life.

After all, in this era, it is impossible for anyone except Pei Hui, who is rich and powerful, to find various supplements for Pei Wende to survive.

However, Xuan Jue's previous actions undoubtedly reminded Pei Wende that he had been targeted by monsters.

This caused Mandrill, who was originally hiding in the dark, to completely lose his advantage and had to have a head-on conflict with Pei Wende.

The most important thing is that Xuan Jue's actions not only strengthened the possibility of a head-on conflict between Pei Wende and Mandrill, but also seriously affected his subsequent behavior.

As long as Pei Wende has the slightest timidity, with his ability and wisdom, it is simply a simple matter to avoid the mandrill's sneak attack.

Fortunately, just as Xuan Jue expected, Pei Wende is not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Especially when he learned that the incident was caused by him, in order to prevent innocent villagers from getting involved, he chose to take the initiative to find trouble with the mandrill.

Even so, once the situation goes awry, Pei Wende will lose more than just the foundation of his practice.

"Tell me about it! I want to hear your explanation."

When Pei Hui spoke again, Xuan Jue could already hear the coldness and murderous intent hidden in the indifferent tone.

Xuan Jue knew in his heart that every next sentence he said would determine his status in Pei Hui's heart and the possibility of his survival.

Although Xuan Jue didn't actually care about his own life or death, he didn't want his status in Pei Hui's heart to be affected just because of a mere Pei Wende.

"Your Majesty, you have been with Pei Wende for such a long time, don't you know what kind of character he is?"

When Xuan Jue raised his head again, the domineering and cruel look in his eyes revealed his true character and identity as the Demon King.

"He is not a lamb at the mercy of others, but a dragon that has not yet grown up."

"Instead of letting him slowly discover the existence and purpose of the mandrill, it would be better to point this out from the beginning."

"Only in this way can Pei Wende be more proactive in looking for mandrills and increase the possibility of his life and energy being taken away."

Pei Hui knew that Xuan Jue was making excuses, but she had to admit that it was true.

Pei Wende was different from Pei Hui's imagination from the beginning. He had a strong personality and was destined not to be manipulated by anyone.

Coupled with the subtle influence of Zen Master Lingyou, Pei Hui's idea of ​​safely taking Pei Wende away before coming to Weishan was destined to be impossible to succeed.

This can also be heard from the two lines of poems that Pei Wende just sang. He would rather fight vigorously than endure the humiliation and live in an ignoble existence.

"How sure are you?"

After a moment of silence, Pei Hui also realized that it was impossible for things to develop as she expected, so she turned to Xuan Jue and asked.

"There is no certainty..."

Suddenly he shook his head with a wry smile, and for the first time, Xuan Jue's cold and handsome face showed a helpless expression.

"Pei Wende's character is just like the crazy monk in his youth. I can't predict any of his choices at all."

Xuan Jue was telling the truth. From the beginning, he did not think that Pei Wende would act according to their plan.

"..."

Pei Hui suddenly turned her head and stared at Xuan Jue. Pei Hui didn't like Xuan Jue's answer, just like she didn't like the other person's previous self-assertion.

"I know what you are thinking, but Pei Wende must not die here."

"This is what I owe him, and this is what you owe me."

Without engaging in too much verbal entanglement with Xuan Jue, Pei Hui spoke directly in a commanding tone.

"Give up your plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Even if I can't take Pei Wende away, you can't hurt him in any way."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Hui's figure was already showing faint ripples like a phantom.

The next second, Pei Hui, who was still standing next to Xuan Jue, disappeared into the air, as if she had never appeared.

In fact, Pei Hui has never appeared here, because what appears here is just an illusion and projection of her.

"Tsk! Have you recovered to this extent?"

Watching Pei Hui completely disappear before his eyes, Xuan Jue was shocked to realize that the "Pei Hui" who had been talking to him was actually just a fake.

"But you were still affected by the host after all..."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't value a mortal so much if it were you before."

Jealousy and helplessness could not be hidden in his eyes. Xuan Jue knew that his trick of borrowing a knife to kill people would definitely not go forward.

In order to try his best to maintain his already poor image in Pei Hui's heart, Pei Wende must live on without losing a single hair.

"However, you still underestimated Pei Wende after all. He is not the kind of guy who needs our help to survive."

When Xuan Jue said this, he was thinking of the calmness and clarity that Pei Wende showed after learning about the existence of the mandrill.

It’s as if I’ve known all this for a long time, or I’ve been mentally prepared for similar situations…

Pei Wende was not surprised at all by the news he revealed. Instead, he seemed to have been tricked out of a lot of information in the process.

Based on Pei Wende's performance alone, Xuan Jue knew that the other party was an "adept" who was absolutely qualified to be on an equal footing with him.

"Mohu Luojia, he deserves this name and title."
