Under the mask, Tan Xizhi's face turned pale with fright.
Although Du Keyi couldn't see her pale face, he could see the changes in her eyes and her slightly trembling body.
"Sister..."
Du Keyi saw that Tan Xizhi was greatly frightened, and quickly grabbed her arm worriedly and whispered in her ear.
When Tan Xizhi heard Du Keyi's voice, she recovered from the fright, immediately adjusted her breath and calmed her mind.
If it was just what was written on the note, she would never be frightened to this extent, but she happened to see the terrifying scene of Saint Ancestor Xiangyang turning into an ancient corpse.
Originally she thought it was just a momentary hallucination, but combined with the information on the note, she couldn't help but think about it more.
Thinking that the real Ancestor Xiangyang might be dead, and that the current Ancestor Xiangyang was transformed from an ancient corpse, how could she not be frightened and frightened.
"Who wrote this to you?" Tan Xizhi stared into Du Keyi's eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Dongguo Qi." Du Keyi replied, and then added: "This is his handwriting. I don't remember exactly when he gave it to me, but according to my guess, it should be when we went to the Su Imperial Capital.
.”
"You said before that there might be another reason for your amnesia. Is it because of this note? Tell me everything you know without omitting or concealing anything." Tan Xizhi said in a serious tone.
Du Keyi nodded, and immediately told Tan Xizhi in detail what she had learned in the past two days, as well as her own various speculations.
After hearing this, Tan Xizhi frowned and fell into deep thought.
When Du Keyi went to the Great Su Imperial Capital, she was practicing in seclusion, so she didn't accompany her.
After she came out of seclusion, she listened to the disciple's report and learned that Du Keyi had come to see her several times after coming back from Da Su. She wanted to go to Du Keyi and ask her what she wanted to do with her, but she learned from the disciple that Du Keyi had come to see her.
Yi Jin went to a foreign land.
After waiting for two months, she still couldn't wait to come out of the alien world, so she had no choice but to give up and go into seclusion again.
When she came out of seclusion again, it was New Year's Eve and she went to see Du Keyi, but she could not see him because Du Keyi went back to Dasu to visit relatives.
She found out that everything was fine in Dou Ke Yi, and she also got a great opportunity in a foreign land. After landing on the other side and promoted to the Star Realm, she retreated again with peace of mind.
When she came out of seclusion for the third time, she met Du Keyi who came to look for her. After a few words of conversation, she was shocked and found that Du Keyi had lost his memory.
Looking back now, she couldn't help but regret it, thinking that if she hadn't been addicted to cultivation and had waited a little longer to meet her, she might have known about it a long time ago.
In fact, we can't blame her for being addicted to seclusion and practice.
The reason why she frequently retreats and strictly forbids others to disturb her is because her cultivation has reached a critical moment.
If Du Keyi's amnesia and the competition to recruit a bride hadn't delayed her practice in seclusion, she would be trying to break through the shackles and ascend to the Heavenly Gate to enter the Holy Realm.
She couldn't tell whether Du Keyi's amnesia was man-made, because she had checked Du Keyi's body more than once and found no suspicious problems.
"Senior sister?"
Everyone could see that Tan Xizhi was silent for a long time, and her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as if she had thought of something, so she couldn't help but call out softly, wanting to ask her what she was thinking.
"Leave this matter to me to investigate. Don't worry about it." Tan Xizhi looked at Du Keyi and said in a tone that could not be refuted, "After the competition is over, you ask Zhou Jianlai to find an excuse to go home to announce the good news, and then you
Follow him down the mountain. After I investigate the matter clearly, I will go to Dasu to find you.
have you understood?"
"Senior sister——"
"have you understood?!"
Du Keyi heard Tan Xizhi's serious tone, as if she knew something, and opened her mouth to ask, but was interrupted by Tan Xizhi's stern tone.
"I understand." Du Keyi nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, then just pretend you don't know anything."
"Senior sister, how are you going to investigate?" Du Keyi couldn't help asking, fearing that Tan Xizhi would prevaricate her randomly, so he quickly said in a strong tone: "If you don't let me know, I will definitely not be able to go down the mountain with peace of mind."
Seeing Du Keyi's tough attitude, Tan Xizhi could only tell her the plan she had in mind: "After you come down from the mountain, I will go to the five ancestors and ask them to protect me. I will close the entrance and attack the holy realm.
If I successfully step into the Holy Realm and have enough self-protection power, I will start investigating this matter.
On the other hand, if my breakthrough fails, I will inform the Fifth Patriarch of the matter and ask them to come forward to investigate the matter."
"Why not report it directly to the Fifth Ancestor?" Du Ke asked in confusion.
She was not qualified to meet the Fifth Patriarch, so she could only think of reporting it to the sect leader Liu Feihua. Otherwise, she would have handed the note to the Fifth Patriarch by now.
"Because..." Tan Xizhi pondered for a moment, then continued: "Because I want this credit. If I can investigate this matter clearly, with this great credit of saving the sect from danger, I will be qualified to sit on Yifeng and take over.
Palm Bright Moon Peak, Taixuan Peak, or Tongtian Peak."
She lied.
She didn't want any great credit at all, she just wanted to find out by herself first whether the Holy Ancestor Xiangyang was a human, an ancient corpse, or half-human and half-corpse.
If he were a human being, it would be best.
If he is an ancient corpse, then ask the Five Ancestors to come forward to destroy the corpse and avenge the Holy Ancestor Xiangyang. If he is half-human and half-corpse, as long as he does not harm the sect, Tan Xizhi is willing to keep it a secret for him.
This was her selfish reason for wanting to investigate alone.
She used the word "credit" to excuse Du Keyi, knowing that she could excuse him because she knew Du Keyi too well, and knew that Du Keyi would definitely not take the "credit" from her after hearing this.
How could Du Keyi know Tan Xizhi's thoughts and thought that Tan Xizhi was really doing it for merit? Hearing this, he worriedly said: "But senior sister is too dangerous to investigate alone."
"That's why I decided to wait until I step into the holy realm and have the power to protect myself before investigating. Otherwise, I will report it to the Fifth Ancestor. Don't worry, I have a sense of self-discipline in my heart and will not risk my life foolishly."
Tan Xizhi stretched out her brows and smiled to appease Du Keyi's worried mood.
"Actually... if senior sister can step into the Holy Realm, even if she has no merit, she can still take over Mingyue Peak or Taixuan Peak, because the positions of the Holy Ancestors of Mingyue Peak and Taixuan Peak are still vacant."
"Without credit, I'm afraid it will be hard to convince the public. People from other peaks will say that we, Xiangyang Peak, own the two peaks. In fact... this credit should belong to you, junior sister. By doing this, I am taking away your credit, junior sister. I feel really sorry.
." Tan Xizhi said ashamed.
Du Keyi quickly waved his hand and said: "Senior sister, please don't think like this. If you ask me to investigate, it is very likely that I will not get any credit, but will risk my life instead."
"Good junior sister, senior sister did not love you in vain." Tan Xizhi grabbed Du Keyi's hand and patted it.
"Sister, you must be extremely careful!"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Senior sister, you are about to make a breakthrough, and I can't help you with anything, so please accept this Holy Information Pill." Du Keyi took out the Holy Information Pill.
"Okay." Tan Xizhi saw that she couldn't refuse, and having an extra Shengxi Pill was really helpful to her, so she didn't refuse anymore.
She also told Du Keyi a few things, asking her to stay in Dasu for as long as possible and not to come back in a hurry.
After coming out of Du Keyi's room, she walked towards the main hall.
Just like when Du Keyi went to meet Holy Ancestor Xiangyang before, every time she met Holy Ancestor Xiangyang, she felt happy even if she was scolded and punished, but this time she was filled with anxiety.
"Master, Xizhi would like to see you."
"What's up?"
"I encountered some confusions in my cultivation. Please ask Master to clear them up."
"come in."
An hour later, Tan Xizhi came out of the main hall, full of questions.
She wanted to discuss the cultivation issues and take a closer look at the Xiangyang Saint Ancestor. However, after some inspections, she did not find anything unusual, which made her wonder if she was being suspicious.
Saint Ancestor Xiangyang was still Saint Ancestor Xiangyang, and what she saw that day was indeed an illusion.
