Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

Lin Wuyi patted Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo on the shoulders, and said with praise: "You, as disciples of the Sunset Sect, have done a great job in helping your fellow disciples in danger."

He paused for a moment and continued, "I will report this matter to the deputy sect leader later and let him decide on it."

Just now, Xia Xiaomo had told Lin Wuyi in detail about the attempt by the disciples of Poyun Sect to kill He Mengting during the elimination round.

The deputy sect leader and the sect leader are not in the courtyard for the time being.

Lin Wuyi let go of his hand and said: "You should have a good rest today. Tomorrow is the Hundred Schools of Thought Contest. I hope you can win a good place for the Sunset Sect."

"Disciple understands." Xia Xiaomo said.

For the sect, the Immortal Gate Conference is more of a symbol of honor.

Many disciples and elders have placed high hopes on Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo, hoping that they can win glory for the Sunset Sect and get a good ranking in this event.

He Mengting slowly opened her eyes and felt slightly dizzy. Her consciousness had not yet fully recovered.

When her vision gradually became clear, she found that she was leaning against a warm back.

Why am I on Zhang Jia's back?

She closed her eyes and took a breath.

When she opened her eyes again, she still saw that familiar figure.

She blinked, a barely perceptible blush appeared on her cheeks, and her heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

Zhang Jia tilted her head slightly, glanced at her, and said, "You're awake."

He Mengting looked puzzled and asked, "What did you do to me? Why am I on your back?"

Zhang Jia was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "Heaven and earth can testify, I didn't do anything!"

"Before, you were knocked unconscious by Wang Chengzhi of Poyun Sect in the ring. I fed you the elixir and carried you on my back for a day. If you don't believe me, you can ask Tang Yu, Junior Brother Xu and Junior Sister Xia."

He hadn't done anything that would cause misunderstanding, so why did He Mengting feel that he was up to something as soon as she opened her eyes?

He Mengting tried hard to recall and vaguely remembered that she was hit in the shoulder by Wang Chengzhi's poison needle on the ring and the poison spread.

If not handled in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

She wanted to admit defeat and surrender, but was interrupted by Wang Chengzhi and then lost consciousness.

"I have been unconscious for a day?" He Mengting asked.

"Yes, a whole day." Zhang Jia replied.

He Mengting said a little embarrassedly: "I misunderstood you, thank you for always carrying me."

Zhang Jia smiled and put her down: "We are all brothers who have had drinks together, don't say thank you or not."

He Mengting rolled her eyes and said, "You drunkard, who would call me your drinking buddy?"

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo, who were standing aside, looked at each other and thought in the same mind that Senior Sister He and Senior Brother Zhang could always do such funny things.

Lin Wuyi walked forward and asked with concern: "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

He brought a lot of elixirs with him when he came to the imperial city this time, some of which were comparable to the Holy Healing Pill.

He Mengting bowed and said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, Elder Lin. I am fine now.

......

......

Xu Yeyu, Xia Xiaomo, He Mengting, Zhang Jia and Tang Yu came to an inn together.

They planned to celebrate their advancement to the knockout rounds and qualification for the Hundred Schools of Thought Contest.

Although it is only a preliminary advancement, it is still possible to have a meal together at the inn to celebrate.

"You can order whatever you want. I'll treat you to dinner today," said Xia Xiaomo.

As the captain of the Sunset Sect in the Immortal Gate Conference, Xia Xiaomo knew how to treat people to a meal.

Hearing this, Xu Yeyu grinned and said, "Then I can order whatever I want. The boss is very generous!"

He glanced at the menu and couldn't help but complain: "The food in the Imperial City is really expensive. The price of a chicken leg is several times higher than other places."

"It doesn't matter, order whatever you want. Even if you eat hundreds of chicken legs, I can afford it." Xia Xiaomo said.

She is now a disciple in the Jindan realm and receives more sect resources than before.

She will use the spirit stones to buy things and also for cultivation.

As for money, she hasn't spent much in the past year.

Because Xu Yeyu is not in Xiyang Sect, Xia Xiaomo seldom cooks for herself and may only cook twice a month.

"Do you want to eat chicken legs?" Xu Yeyu asked.

Xia Xiaomo was not surprised. Xu Yeyu usually ordered chicken legs when he came to the inn to eat.

If he doesn't order it, there is only one possibility: he is really tired of it and wants to change to a different flavor.

"I eat."

Zhang Jia paused for a moment, raised her eyes and said with a smile: "Give me a pot of wine. I haven't had a drink in a long time. I almost forgot what wine tastes like."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Mengting reached out and grabbed his ear, saying, "You are not allowed to drink. Tomorrow is the main competition of the Hundred Schools of Thought. If you get drunk tonight, Elder Lin will make things difficult for you."

"When the Immortal Gate Conference is over, no one will care how drunk you are."

"It hurts, be gentle."

Zhang Jia took a breath and continued, "I am at least a cultivator of the third realm. I can use my true energy to dispel the drunkenness brought by the wine. I won't get drunk after drinking a pot of wine, okay?"

He Mengting let go of her hand and Zhang Jia touched her ear.

"Let's drink tea today, and I'll drink with you later. Is that okay?" He Mengting asked.

"to make."

Zhang Jia smiled and continued, "Drinking alone is really boring. Next time, drink with me. When you are drunk, I will carry you back to Xiyang Sect, and then we will be even."

He Mengting glared at him, wondering if this matter was not going to work out.

Why do you have to make me drunk and then have you carry me back before this matter is over?

Everyone ordered the dishes they wanted and started chatting.

"You should thank Junior Brother Xu and Junior Sister Xia. After you lost consciousness, Wang Chengzhi wanted to attack you."

"Junior Brother Xu and Junior Sister Xia reacted immediately. They rushed to the stage and clamped two spiritual swords around Wang Chengzhi's neck. Only then did he dare not move." Zhang Jia said.

He Mengting was about to stand up to thank her when Xia Xiaomo stopped her.

"Senior Sister He, there's no need to be so polite. We are all from the same sect, and it's only natural for us to help each other."

He Mengting comes from a family of warriors and has always been particular about etiquette.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Xu and Junior Sister Xia." He Mengting expressed her gratitude.

......

......

Imperial Palace, Dragon Court Hall.

Old Xu knocked gently on the palace door.

A deep voice came from inside: "Come in."

Old Xu opened the door and walked into the Dragon Court Hall.

Old Xu pushed the door open, walked in front of Zhao Beijun, and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty summoned me, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Beijun looked at the old man and said, "Old Xu, you have followed me for hundreds of years. I have two things I want to ask you."

The old man still lowered his head, "If it is something I know, I will never dare to hide it from Your Majesty."

"What is your relationship with Song Lengyue?"

Old Xu was stunned and confused, not understanding why the emperor suddenly asked this.

"The relationship is neither good nor bad," the old man replied.

Song Lengyue was well-known for her coldness in the Xingtian Division, and she would only reply with a few simple words when others spoke to her.

There was no expression on her face; she was a true ice beauty.

Even when Zhao Beijun spoke to her, she would just give a simple reply.

Zhao Beijun was not surprised. He nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Do you know her background?"

Elder Xu pondered for a moment and replied, "Song Lengyue's hometown was once attacked by demon cultivators, and she was the only survivor in the entire village. Elder Shi happened to pass by at that time and brought her back to the court. This is all I know."

Old Shi was once a elder of the Xingtian Division. His lifespan came to an end a hundred years ago. He failed to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm and eventually died.

When Zhao Beijun heard this answer, his expression remained calm.

He had also heard some of Song Lengyue's life experience, and his answer was similar to what Old Xu had given.

All the monks in Xingtian Division have sworn an oath against their inner demons.

They could not hide anything from Zhao Beijun, nor could they betray him.

Zhao Beijun pondered for a moment, then said, "Mr. Xu, there is something I want you to investigate."
