Bi Fan smiled slightly and did not argue with her. He quietly leaned against the tree trunk and looked up at the half-curved moon in the sky.
Chu Qingjue also leaned against the tree trunk in silence, her clear eyes just staring at the burning firewood in silence.
"Are you worried about how you will explain to the palace lord in Wuji Palace when you go back about breaking up with that priest brother?" Bi Fan turned his head, looked at her and asked with a smile.
Her eyes darkened as she watched the flames slowly rise along the branches and then gradually extinguish, but she did not answer the question.
"I have an idea, do you want to listen to it?" Bi Fan continued to ask, regardless of whether she responded to him or not.
"What?" She finally turned around, raised her eyes and asked softly.
"Assume that this didn't happen and just do whatever you need to do when you get back." Bi Fan said with a smile.
Chu Qingjue frowned: "Is this an idea?"
He smiled and nodded: "Of course, we must remain unchanged to cope with all changes. Moreover, according to my intuition, the palace master will not hold you accountable for protecting me, and may even blame the man named Mu for being too stingy."
Chu Qingjue pondered for a moment with a slightly stern look on his face, and finally realized that, given that person's status, he would most likely think that this was a jealousy among several young people.
After all, she still has some status in the sect, but the person who ran away like this did not care at all. She must be held responsible.
"You see things clearly." After withdrawing her thoughts, she lowered her eyebrows and said calmly.
"Only bystanders know." Bi Fan smiled nonchalantly and didn't think it was anything special.
Chu Qing never answered again, and Bi Fan was a little surprised by her quiet and calm personality. He originally thought that this girl was actually the same as Ling Xiaoxiao when facing outsiders. Although she had an out-of-the-way personality, she didn't take those people seriously.
I don't even bother to communicate with him.
At present, it seems that her cold personality seems to be like this to everyone.
Immediately, he broke the silence softly: "By the way, there is something I don't quite understand."
"Um?"
"Wuji Palace is an extremely remarkable existence, both in the human race and in the entire world. Although a ninth-grade alchemist is rare, considering the background and prestige of the sect, it should not be difficult to make a good friend with one. Why do you want to
Are you placing your hopes on me, a small seventh grader?" Bi Fan couldn't help crying and asked with a smile.
Chu Qingjue's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "This matter is a long story. Do you know something about the internal relationships in Wuji Palace?"
"I've heard a little bit about it." Bi Fan nodded and said, "It is said that the two major factions have been secretly opposed to each other, and it has probably become more obvious in recent years."
She smiled coldly: "It's more than just a faint confrontation. If grandpa hadn't been alive now, I'm afraid those people would have taken action to clean us out!"
Bi Fan frowned. This was the first time he had heard of such serious differences in a sect.
Before he could continue to ask, Chu Qingjue seemed to be unable to control the anger and indignation in his heart, and said to himself: "Since the current palace master of Wuji Palace took over, what he has done in just seven years has already...
It has completely ruined the reputation that Wuji Palace has had for thousands of years."
"At the beginning, although grandpa was dissatisfied with his actions, due to his status as the palace master, he had to give him a thumbs-down. But he didn't expect that as things got worse, his actions became more and more public and wild, and he gradually closed the door.
The elder with a powerful position in the palace has been replaced by one of his own as the master of the palace."
"My grandfather is the head of the Elder Hall in Wuji Palace. Regardless of his qualifications or status, he is deeply rooted in the sect. It is the biggest obstacle for him to fully control Wuji Palace."
"So, he knew that grandpa was poisoned by evil spirits, but he tightly controlled all the alchemists in the sect, and even the alchemists who were destined to be friends with this sect. Under this background, I don't dare to let those people come.
Save grandpa."
Bi Fan smiled bitterly and roughly understood the reason for this, but he still had a doubt in his heart: "Since Senior Chu is an elder of several generations in the sect, there should be alchemists who are good friends with him, right? They are also being treated by some palace master.
Are you in control?"
Seeing him mention this, Chu Qingjue's eyes flashed with sadness, anger and cold murderous intent: "Of course there are still some, but accidents always happen. In the past few years, several alchemists who were familiar with my grandfather, because of
I left Wuji Palace for various reasons."
"Two years ago, a good friend of my grandfather's for many years, an eighth-level alchemist, returned from traveling and brought back two rare medicinal materials for the Taixu Jingling Pill. He went to our house, and the result was that
Nine days later, he died for no apparent reason on Biejun Mountain, only a few hundred meters away from Wuji Palace."
"This..." Bi Fan took a breath of cold air unconsciously: "Did the palace master do it?"
"Who else could it be besides him?" Chu Qingjue gritted her silver teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and said almost viciously.
Bi Fan nodded, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes: "Since he dared to kill people blatantly, he must have left no evidence. Even if you have suspicions in your mind, I'm afraid you can't do anything to him."
She took a deep breath, her delicate fair cheeks were already red with anger, and said feebly: "Yes, grandpa said that we have no evidence and cannot prove that grandpa was killed by him. In the end, this matter can only be solved."
That’s it. Since then, grandpa has aged a lot, and he knows that grandpa died because of him..."
At this point, she closed her eyes unconsciously and turned her head away. However, Bi Fan could still clearly see a drop of clear tears sliding down her cheek.
After a long while, she continued: "I wanted to check for evidence of that person's crime, but grandpa didn't let me participate at all."
"Senior Chu is probably worried about involving you too." Bi Fan comforted him softly: "The old man also has good intentions."
"I know, I know grandpa is afraid that I will also be silenced by that person." She took a deep breath and said in a sad voice: "But in this case, the only thing I can do is to help grandpa find someone who can solve the problem."
The evil spirit poisonous alchemist."
Bi Fan smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's why you chose me."
"You will help me, right?" She turned her head and looked at him with a pair of reddish eyes like autumn water. There was a little uneasiness in her eyes, for fear that he would know the danger of the action.
will refuse.
"Although I'm not a gentleman, since I promised something, I won't regret it." Bi Fan said with a smile: "It's just that my ability is limited now, so I don't dare to promise anything. I can only say that one day I can break through the ninth level of alchemy.
Master, I will definitely come to detoxify Senior Chu."
Chu Qingjue's eyes lit up. With these words, she felt much calmer.
Although she didn't know why, she had such strong trust in this person after having known him for less than a day.
She lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then said softly: "After all, I still owe you a favor."
"Since it's a favor, I'll also make a condition in exchange for doing things." Bi Fan looked at her with a smile and said.
Chu Qingjue was stunned for a moment, with a strange look in his eyes. He retracted his slightly moved gaze and said calmly: "Tell me what the conditions are."
Bi Fan was also aware of the change in her expression and said seriously: "It is not safe for you to act alone after all. Either you go back to the team in Wuji Palace. Even though you have broken up, it is only a matter between you after all."
, that guy surnamed Mu doesn’t dare to accept you. Or you can act with me, at least the two of us will take care of each other.”
