Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Lin Xi turned around and met Wei Qingchuan's gaze. He had a stern look on his face. He took a step forward to Lin Xi and Luo Qinghe, protecting them behind him. He put one hand on the sword, and his phoenix eyes were as sharp as torches as he looked down at Ji Xiaowu who was sitting on the chair.

"I traveled to the town of Mosang and saw the unusual movement of the human-demon barrier, so I thought of going forward to investigate, but I happened to run into the internal strife of the demon clan."

Ji Xiaowu knew that he couldn't fool around today. Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to him, he gradually restrained his careless smile and explained solemnly:

"I had no way to escape the raging flames, and was discovered by the demons. I had no choice but to flee everywhere, and by chance I accidentally entered the barrier."

At this point, Ji Xiaowu's face turned very ugly, and he took a deep breath as if he was a little scared, and then continued: "The barrier was very peaceful at first. I couldn't find a way to break the barrier, so I thought about recuperating in it."

"But that night, for some reason, the sky and the earth suddenly began to fly sand and rocks, the ground collapsed and the mountains collapsed. I could only drag my injured body and hurriedly hide. I thought I was going to die."

"But when I was running away, I met Fellow Daoist Luo. Seeing that she was still young, I couldn't bear to see her die there, so I helped her. By accident, we fell into the secret realm together, and that's how I was able to save my life."

At this point, his pair of peach blossom eyes were like spring water, and he glanced at Luo Qinghe who was slightly sticking his head out from behind Wei Qingchuan with a look of resentment and anger, "Now that I think about it, this may be the cause and effect that Buddhist practitioners often talk about. If I hadn't helped at that time, I'm afraid that fellow Daoist Luo and I would have died there."

When Luo Qinghe met his eyes, she couldn't help but recall the scenes of spending every day with the person in front of her in that secret realm, and her face turned red. But when she turned around, she saw the pale-faced Lin Xi in her arms and the senior brother who was protecting her, and she immediately hesitated.

Ji Xiaowu saw her expression change, and continued, "If I was really the one who almost killed Taoist Lin, how could I dare to follow you up the mountain? With all the immortals here, wouldn't I be walking into a trap?"

Ji Xiaowu was naturally not afraid of Gu Hongzi and his companions. He was now willing to endure the patience to perform this excellent singing and composing show just for Luo Qinghe.

After seeing the doubts in Luo Qinghe's eyes completely dissipated by his confession, he finally put his mind at ease and looked at Wei Qingchuan again with a serious face. "So, does this Taoist friend trust me completely?"

Wei Qingchuan did not answer him, but looked at Gu Hongzi and the others sitting there. Seeing that they all shook their heads slightly, he looked at Lin Xi in Luo Qinghe's arms again and said softly, "What do you think?"

Lin Xi's ultimate goal today was not to expose Ji Xiaowu, but to protect herself and everyone in Lingyun Sword Sect. As she said before, if Ji Xiaowu's true identity as the Demon Lord was exposed in public today, it would not bring any benefits other than bringing forward the fate of the entire Lingyun Sword Sect being massacred.

And the reason why she pretended to be weak just now was just to remind Ji Xiaowu that she loved her junior sister who had only been with Luo Qinghe for a few days and even became suspicious of him. So if he dared to attack anyone from Lingyun Sword Sect, he would only become enemies with Luo Qinghe.

What Lin Xi wanted was for him to be cautious. As long as he didn't dare to attack her for the sake of Luo Qinghe in the next period of time, she would have more opportunities to cut off the evil relationship between him and Luo Qinghe.

And what happened today was the seed of doubt she planted in Luo Qinghe's heart. Since their love was inevitable, she could only find another way and let them drift apart.

Therefore, when Wei Qingchuan asked her what she thought, she pretended to try to recall it for a moment, but finally shook her head and said, "Now I think I must have remembered it wrongly. Although the man who hurt me was also dressed in black, a man with such a vicious mind should have a green face and fangs, extremely ugly, and should not be like this Taoist friend, um... human-like."

"Pfft!" Song Qingguang on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud. Wei Qingchuan couldn't help but pull the corners of his lips and shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, alright. This Fellow Daoist Qi is Junior Brother Qinghe's savior. You must not be rude to him." At the critical moment, the Second Elder came out to smooth things over.

"Everyone, sit down." Gu Hongzi retracted his gaze and stroked his beard. "Qing He is back now. I am relieved."

"It's a great joy that Qinghe can come back. I will host a welcome party for you at Ziyuntai tonight." The fourth elder Li Yuewan also spoke in agreement.

"Thank you very much, uncle. I have been craving your Hundred Days Drunk for a long time." Luo Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the atmosphere had finally eased. He sat down again while making a joke.

"Thank you, Immortal." Ji Xiaowu temporarily put aside the thought of strangling Lin Xi to death and returned to his usual calm demeanor.

"They're all reserved for you. Just eat your fill tonight and drink as much as you want." The fourth elder smiled gently.

"There is no rush for the banquet. I have another important thing to tell you right now." Seeing that the fourth elders had arranged the banquet, Gu Hongzi started talking about business.

"But what about the Fairy Sword Conference in three months?" The third elder was an impatient person. As soon as Gu Hongzi finished speaking, he couldn't wait to speak.

Gu Hongzi rolled his eyes at him, but nodded and said, "It is the Immortal Sword Conference. The Yaoguang Sect has already sent out the invitation, and it is scheduled to be held after March."

"The leader of Feiye Pavilion also sent a message, saying that he wants to go with us." The second elder obviously knew about it in advance and told the news he had received.

"Let them go by themselves! Those female cultivators are all dressed up beautifully, and they seem to want to put ten kilograms of perfume powder on their bodies. I don't want to suffer this again." When the fifth elder Yu Xusheng heard this, he quickly covered his nose with a folding fan and said with lingering fear.

Gu Hongzi gave him the same rolling eyes as the Third Elder, "Fei Ye Pavilion has always been on good terms with us, but we are just traveling together. If you don't want to, then stay in the sect."

"That's fine. I don't want to stare at you in the sect, senior brother." The fifth elder shook his head like a rattle.

Seeing that the elders said no more, Gu Hongzi looked at the young disciples below him and said, "The sect selection will be held in five days. The top twenty winners will be able to participate in the Immortal Sword Conference with your uncles."

Everyone in the hall was very excited when they heard this. They were at the age of youth and ambition, and who wouldn't want to go to the Fairy Sword Conference to try their luck? Those who got good rankings could also travel to the ancient secret realm. Although the secret realm was full of dangers, opportunities and challenges often go hand in hand. Who knows, they might be able to obtain some rare treasures and greatly improve their cultivation.

Therefore, everyone in the hall, except Lin Xi who knew the plot in advance and Luo Qinghe who had just come out of a secret realm, became a little excited. Even Wei Qingchuan, who was always calm, couldn't help but reach out and touch the long sword at his waist.
