In an inn in the town not far from the Tianyimen Mountain Gate, some movement suddenly came from the closed room. The shopkeeper felt something in his heart and quickly put down everything he was doing and hurried to the backyard.
He waited respectfully outside the door. After a while, a man and a woman came out.
The shopkeeper saw it and hurriedly came forward to say hello: "Welcome the two elders."
"Thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Qian. We are just passing by, don't worry about it." The man smiled gently, and the shopkeeper felt like he was being blown by the spring breeze.
The two nodded slightly and walked out. Their movements were obviously graceful and slow, but they disappeared into the courtyard in an instant. The two flew with their swords to the outside of Tianyimen Mountain, looking at the familiar scenery and smiling at each other.
They were Yan Xi and Nalan Lianyue, and the inn in the town was where Yan Qingzheng used to stay when he was running the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce.
Later, the Guiyi Sect was established. Thinking that there would be close contact with the Tianyi Sect, I wanted to build a teleportation array inside the Tianyi Sect. However, I later thought it was not suitable, so I built it in the town.
Duoyue was quite surprised by the arrival of the two, but she still entertained them warmly.
Duo Yue personally took them to visit the Tianyi Sect. Although the two of them were once elite disciples of the Tianyi Sect, they had not returned for many years, and under Duo Yue's leadership, the Tianyi Sect had long been different from the decay of the past.
Yan Xi sighed with emotion. She had never seen Duoyue as an expert in managing a sect before!
The three of them arrived at Duo Yue's residence. Disciples had already tidied up the living room and brought tea and water.
Nalan Lian Yue asked about Duo Yue's premonition of ascension. Duo Yue sighed softly and said: "After the last injury, the premonition disappeared. Now, although the injury has healed and the state has returned, the premonition has never come again... Presumably
It will be difficult to ascend for a while."
Yan Xi consoled her, "With senior sister's strength, promotion will be a matter of time. Senior sister, just think that this is for you to temper your character, and it is also because your chosen successor is not ready."
Duo smiled faintly: "Thank you, Junior Brother Yan, for your comfort. It only takes a few years, I can afford to wait."
Nalan Lianyue also said: "Yes, senior sister, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I still want to get along with you for a few more years!"
The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, and Duo Yue invited several disciples who were candidates for the next head to come over to greet him. The leader of them was Baili Xiyi.
After all the disciples had dispersed, Duo Yue invited the two of them to have tea, and then said: "You two have never been willing to come back. This trip must be to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."
Yan Xi was stunned. He didn't expect that Duoyue could still be so direct after being the leader for so many years.
Duoyue smiled and said: "I never treat you as outsiders, there is no need to beat around the bush."
Yan Xi and Nalan Lianyue looked at each other and smiled, mocking themselves: "Senior sister is straightforward, but we are pedantic."
"It's okay, I guess it's just that the matter is too difficult to talk about." After many months of observation, he hit the nail on the head.
Yan Xi said in a deep voice, "I do have something important to discuss with senior sister when I come here this time."
Seeing Yan Xi being so solemn, Duo Yue cleared the entire living room of everyone and set up a barrier to prevent eavesdropping.
"Please speak." Duo Yue said.
Yan Xi took a deep breath and revealed his purpose.
Duo Yue thought for a while in confusion before asking: "Why are we delaying the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of Jiuyoumen? I think you were the one who took the lead in the encirclement and suppression of Jiuyoumen."
"Yes, I don't dare to deceive my senior sister. When the demon cultivators of Jiuyou Sect practiced demonic skills, they were demon beasts. They were not demonic skills prepared for humans. Moreover, because they were not demon fetuses, they would either explode or die if they practiced demonic skills.
Otherwise, he will lose his mind and become a murderous maniac, so we decided to unite with the Xuanmen of the world to encircle and suppress him."
Duo Yue listened carefully and grasped the key points keenly: "So if you don't advocate encirclement and suppression this time, can you be sure that they won't have the same problems as last time?"
"Exactly!"
"How do you guarantee that?"
Yan Xi was speechless for a moment and looked at his wife.
Nalan Lianyue sighed and said to Duoyue: "Senior sister, this matter is a long story."
Duoyue raised his eyebrows, leaned back, and said: "You and your wife have come all the way, which means that postponing the encirclement and suppression is of great importance to you. In this case, you should speak clearly. After all, this matter
It is also a great event for the Xuanmen in the world."
What Duo Yue said was reasonable and reasonable. Yan Xi and his wife had no reason to refute. They were in the same mind. At this time, they agreed on their opinions through eye contact.
"Those demon cultivators... are actually the ones we caught earlier, and are not the remnants of the Nine Nether Sect." Nalan Lianyue sighed quietly and slowly revealed the truth.
"It's not that I deliberately hid it from senior sister, but this matter itself will cause trouble. And this incident is also accidental. Rong Che has managed them very well in the past few years, but after all, it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net."
Duo Yue's expression was dull and he didn't respond for a long time.
After a long while, she let out a breath.
It wasn't that she didn't care just now, but she was completely stupid, her mind was in chaos, and she couldn't believe it for a moment.
"You guys actually let Qing'er marry a... demon cultivator!" Duo Yue felt his head was buzzing and his heart was aching.
She has never been married in her life and has long regarded Yan Qing as her daughter. Now that she suddenly heard that her husband was actually a demon cultivator who was born with a demon child, it was like a bolt from the blue!
She lowered her head and closed her eyes. The anger in her heart and some indescribable thoughts were chaotically beating on her always tough heart. Her breathing became rapid, and six-year-old Yan Qing appeared for the first time.
In front of her, Fenyu's cute appearance, her blockbuster breakthrough in the disciple competition meeting, her extraordinary talent, she was dissatisfied with the decay of Tianyi Sect at that time, thus turning Tianyi Sect upside down and Xuanmen.
It's all stirred up!
The unparalleled achievements she made...
Such a girl actually married a demon cultivator!
"You are so cruel! Qing'er doesn't know the difference between immortals and demons, don't you know either? You actually let her jump into that abyss!" Duo Yue covered her chest sadly, thinking that she had not understood her disciples for many years.
I felt depressed in my heart, and I regretted that I had never cared about her emotional problems.
Nalan Lianyue said lonelyly: "Senior sister, don't you also know Qing'er's temper? We have no control over this matter. Besides, we didn't know that Rong Che was a demon cultivator before."
"Don't say he is a demon cultivator. Just because there is a demon lord living in his consciousness sea, this matter will not work!" Duo Yue rarely said sternly.
Nalan Lianyue bit her lower lip heartbrokenly. Why didn't she feel sorry for her daughter? She would have to experience the pain of separation from husband and wife in the future. But they were not ordinary mortal parents who could make full decisions on their children's marriage. What they were facing was themselves.
My daughter, a strange woman who has made great contributions to Taoism in the world in her hometown!
What's more, Yan Qingzheng has never been an obedient girl. Her ideas are more upright than anyone else's. How can they, as parents, interfere?
Duo Yue shook his head and sighed for a long time. After all, he knew that the matter had been settled, so what was the use of pursuing it at this time? So he dismissed it and didn't mention it.
But he was determined not to delay the encirclement and suppression.
Although Duo Yue had expected this reaction, Yan Xi and Nalan Lianyue were still slightly disappointed.
After thinking for a long time, Yan Xi asked cautiously: "Senior sister, are you still brooding about what happened back then?"
Duo Yue paused for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Since Junior Brother Yan knows everything, why bother asking more."
Yan Xi knew that if he had to do it, he might be in vain.
He looked at his wife, shook his head slightly, indicating that nothing could be done.
Nalan Lianyue had just been complained by Duoyue unintentionally, and felt very sad, so she wanted to fight for her daughter again.
So he looked at Duo Yue sincerely and said: "Senior sister, at the founding ceremony of Guiyi Sect, Elder Jin Mang was able to successfully complete the ceremony, thanks to your support. You can accept Elder Jin Mang, why can't you accept that Rong Che is a demon cultivator? ?Over the years, very few people have died at the hands of demonic cultivators, but thousands of people have died at the hands of demonic beasts! Why can't you accept a demonic cultivator if you can accept an elder of demonic beasts?"
"Junior sister, what you said is wrong!" Duo Yue said: "After all, monsters and beasts are also members of the same path. We have the same immortal roots and ascended to the same path! But the demon cultivators are different. We are not from the same sect when we come, and we are not from the same stream when we go. Why should I Treat them all equally!”
Nalan Lianyue was speechless. After a while, Duoyue calmed down and said slowly: "Although Rong Che is a demon fetus, he is a local cultivator in our plane after all. I can let it go, but other foreign demon cultivators , must be annihilated!”
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Yan Xi sighed and stood up, followed by Nalan Lianyue. The two of them had no intention of talking anymore, and after saying goodbye, they were about to leave.
"Don't even think about convincing other people. The attitude of my Tianyi Sect represents the attitude of the Xuanmen in the world!"
Nalan Lianyue turned back sadly: "Senior sister, you are joking. You are closely related to us. Even you have this attitude, who can we expect!"
After all, Duoyue still cared about friendship in her heart, so she said, "Go back and take good care of Rong Che. This will give you an explanation for Qing'er."
Nalan Lianyue shook her head: "Although we don't have much contact, senior sister should know the child's temper. If he is a person who can easily change his mind, he and Qing'er will already be strangers!"
Duoyue's eyes flickered, and her heart was shaken. After all, although she didn't agree with Yan Qingzheng and Rong Che being together at the beginning, she only felt that immortals were different from mortals. Now her opposition was because of the hostility between immortals and demons, and she still agreed with Rong Che himself.
"I know what kind of person Rong Che is and his origins, so I remind you to keep an eye on him!" Duoyue said seriously.
Yan Xi always felt that there was something in Duoyue's words. He had been thinking about it after he left. Suddenly he stopped and was shocked!
"What's wrong?" Nalan Lianyue asked.
"Senior sister is reminding us that she specifically mentioned Rong Che's background, but she actually has no deeper meaning!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Whether it's successful or not this time, we can't let Rong Che come forward, let alone reveal his identity as a demon cultivator!"
"Why?"
"He is from the Fengrong royal family. If his identity as a demon cultivator is exposed, it may have a negative impact on Fengrong... No, it should be a disaster!" Yan Xi's face turned pale. Once he figured out the stakes, he was suddenly shocked. Cold sweat!
