The lazy beauty dotes on her husband so much, she deserves to have a partner

The night gradually appeared in the sky, and the stars came into view through the clouds.

Elder Xu stopped and said to his disciples, "Everyone, rest here and continue on your journey tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

The crowd gathered in groups of two or three and sat down under a tree, exhausted from a day's journey.

Bai Lian looked around and prepared to pick up some firewood. Elder Xu happened to say, "Bai Lian, it's getting dark. Go pick up some firewood with Xiao Qi!"

Bai Lian's expression did not change, and he nodded calmly, "Okay, Elder Xu."

Qi Ji hid his suspicion with surprise in his eyes and followed Bai Lian's footsteps.

Bai Lian walked while squatting down to pick up firewood. Qi Ji walked to the other side and picked up firewood while wondering what Elder Xu was planning.

He knew that the conversation between him and Bai Lian during the day must have been heard by Elder Xu, and he didn't believe that Elder Xu would refrain from taking action.

The conversation during the day was all within Qi Ji's calculations. His purpose was to deliberately provoke Elder Xu to take action so that he could kill Elder Xu in a natural way.

Qi Ji was picking up firewood, his mind focused on the movements around him.

Bai Lian picked up the firewood, looked at Qi Ji who had already picked up a large bundle, and spoke to stop him from reaching out his hand again.

"Junior Brother Qi, that's enough."

Qi Ji came back to his senses, looked at the large bundle of firewood in his arms, and blinked blankly.

When he got closer, he saw that his cheek was stained with some black ash at some point, and Bai Lian couldn't help but chuckle.

Qi Ji was even more confused. He didn't understand why Bai Lian suddenly laughed.

"what happened?"

A smile appeared in the corners of Bai Lian's eyes, and he chanted a spell to condense a water mirror in front of him.

"There's something on your face."

Qi Ji looked at the cheek in the water mirror that looked like a little cat, and his face suddenly turned red. It must have been rubbed against by accident when he was picking up firewood.

He saw it, and I felt a little embarrassed for some reason.

Bai Lian was afraid that his face would get redder and he would not dare to go back, so he formed a seal with one hand and cast a cleansing spell on him.

The black dust on Qi Ji's face disappeared in an instant, and even the dust on his clothes disappeared.

It has to be said that in the world of cultivating immortals, the cleaning spell is the most practical.

Qi Ji saw that the black dust on his face had disappeared, and looked at Bai Lian with an evasive look, "Thank you."

Until the two of them returned to the main force, there was no sign of any ambush or danger.

Qi Ji thought, isn’t the intensity of angering Elder Xu enough?

But it's impossible. Qi Ji knows him. He appears to be honest and simple-minded, but in fact he is vindictive and likes to play tricks in secret. Maybe the time has not come yet.

Qi Ji had a strong premonition that Elder Xu would take action against him in the next few days.

As the night deepened, everyone fell asleep one after another, because Elder Xu had set up a barrier around them, saying that if anyone approached or attacked the barrier, he would know immediately, so everyone could sleep peacefully.

So there was no one on guard tonight, and all the disciples were very confident in Elder Xu.

Only Qi Ji did not let his guard down. He closed his eyes and magnified his other senses to observe the movements outside.

But for some reason, Qi Ji's eyelids became heavier and heavier. He resisted hard, his fingernails digging into his palms, telling himself that he could not sleep.

Finally, the heaviness of my eyelids receded like the tide.

Qi Ji opened his eyes immediately, and the scene in front of him was still the forest, but the original disciples were nowhere to be seen.

Even Bai Lian was not there.

Qi Ji's throat rolled, and he looked around with great nervousness, the frown on his brows becoming deeper and deeper.

Where is this place? Where is Bai Lian?

His intuition told him that this was not the original grove.

But where is this place? Is it an illusion? He had read in a book before that people can be pulled into an illusion without knowing it, and even a great master in the Spiritual Severing Stage cannot detect it!

But there are many reasons for illusions. Some of them only exist in secret realms. There is also a monster called Nightmare, which emits a strange fragrance. Once people smell its fragrance, unless this person has a strong will and is not deceived by the illusion, he can only die in the illusion.

This is not a secret place, and Qi Ji has not smelled any fragrance.

There was an extremely solemn expression in Qi Ji's eyes. If he really fell into the illusion, he would have to rely on himself.

He raised his head, his pure black eyes were filled with determination, and he raised his legs to walk forward. Things had come to this point, and he could only take one step at a time.

Before he had taken a few steps, Qi Ji's ears moved slightly, his eyes turned cold, and he quickly turned to look at the source of the sound.

Elder Xu narrowed his eyes and put on a gentle smile, just like before, but it made people feel uneasy.

"Xiao Qi, your cultivation has improved recently!"

At this moment, Qi Ji's eyes were calm without a trace of ripples.

Even Qi Ji himself did not expect this. He thought that when he saw Elder Xu's hypocritical face again, he would want to rush up and tear this man to pieces. But now he felt very calm in his heart, although his disgust and hatred for Elder Xu remained the same.

"There's no one else here, so you don't have to pretend!"

Elder Xu's mood changed slightly, and then he returned to his usual smile and said, "Xiao Qi, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Qi Ji: "If you don't understand, then don't understand! Anyway, you have to leave your life here today."

Elder Xu's gentle expression finally broke, and the gentle mask was torn off, revealing his already hypocritical and distorted face.

"Xiao Qi, why? Am I not good to you?"

Qi Ji didn't say anything, and the dagger in his hand flashed.

Elder Xu's eyes fell viciously on the dagger in his hand, "Do you think you can beat me? I taught you from childhood to adulthood. I have taught you for so many years, and now you actually want to kill me?! You are such an ungrateful person!"

Qi Ji had a slight sneer on his face and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Ha! Ridiculous! You are so immersed in the role that you have concealed yourself. Haven't you always coveted my innate body training? What? Now you want to pretend to be my mentor? Don't be so funny!"

Elder Xu's eyes were filled with gloom, and the murderous intent in his heart was exposed in his eyes. "When did you find out?"

"Three years ago, the night you got drunk."

Elder Xu recalled his long-forgotten memories.

That day was the sect's celebration, and Elder Xu accidentally drank too much, so other disciples sent him back to his room.

At that time, Qi Ji heard that Elder Xu was drunk, so he went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of sobering soup and brought it to Elder Xu. As a result, as soon as he reached the door, he heard Elder Xu himself expressing his true feelings.

After hearing his words, Qi Ji tightly grasped the wall of the bowl with the hand holding the hangover soup, and veins on the back of his hand popped out from the force.

Qi Ji suppressed the nausea in his heart and turned to leave Elder Xu's residence.

No wonder Elder Xu discovered that Qi Ji had changed after that day. Qi Ji, who usually talked a lot to him, became less talkative and somewhat silent.

Now that I think about it, everything has a traceable origin!

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something."
