The headmaster met Chu Jing alone.

"I already know about you and Zhixue. He said you were planning to become a Taoist couple, right?"

The head of the sect sat at a white jade table with a pot of tea rich in spiritual energy in front of him. The room was filled with a peaceful atmosphere, but there was no atmosphere of joy.

Chu Jing couldn't help but feel a little nervous, as her master seemed to have something to tell her.

"Yes, Master, my senior brother and I are in love with each other. We plan to become Taoist couples after I achieve Dan formation."

The headmaster stroked his beard and nodded.

"I was worried about this at first, but now I'm relieved to see the result. But Xiaojing, before you decide to become a Taoist partner with Zhixue, I hope you can know this."

Chu Jing sat at the table properly, steam rising from his teacup, "Master, please teach me."

The headmaster sighed softly and looked at Chu Jing, "You should have noticed the abnormality of Zhixue, right?"

Chu Jing instantly thought of what happened to Xun Zhixue before, "I wonder what Master is talking about?"

The headmaster did not give a direct answer, but started from the beginning, "Let me tell you about Zhixue's life story."

"Zhixue was born into a wealthy merchant's family. When he was about three years old, the merchant brought back a test stone that could measure spiritual roots. He discovered that the child had extraordinary talent, so he sent him all the way to Tianyan Sect..."

Chu Jing was completely confused. Isn’t Xun Zhixue an orphan?

He was not sent to the sect at the age of three, but was rescued from outside by the sect leader when he was still a baby and grew up in the sect.

It is said that Xun Zhixue was named Zhixue because it was snowing heavily when he was brought back.

Although he had many doubts in his heart, Chu Jing did not interrupt his master, but listened quietly to what he said next.

After the wealthy businessman sent Xun Zhixue to the sect, Xun Zhixue was accepted as a disciple by the master of the sect.

Chu Jing: Wait, then Xun Zhixue is the sect master's apprentice? ! But Xun Zhixue is clearly the sect master's apprentice, her senior brother!

Moreover, why had she never heard that her master had a junior brother named Xun Zhixue?

"Twenty-four years after Zhixue came to the sect..."

According to the head master's description, that year should have been more than five hundred years ago.

"A sea monster was wreaking havoc in Duyun City. Zhixue was on a mission nearby at the time. Upon learning of the city's distress, he immediately rushed over."

Duyun City is Xun Zhixue's hometown, where his parents and family live.

At that time, Xun Zhixue had already reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and it was very difficult for him to fight against the sea monster.

Moreover, he also threatened the people in the city and his family.

Perhaps it's the brutal nature of monsters, or perhaps it's just a bad taste.

The siren asked Xun Zhixue to choose between the hundreds of thousands of people in Duyun City and Xun Zhixue's family.

He can only save one of them, while the other will die because of his giving up.

The head of the sect recalled the past, and his bright and intelligent eyes were stained with tears. "Of the 185 people in the Xun family, not a single one survived."

When Chu Jing heard this, she felt a chill enveloping her from head to toe, even though she already had the ability to no longer be afraid of the cold or heat of the four seasons.

"You can probably guess what happened next." The Sect Leader took a sip of tea. "Zhixue developed an inner demon because of this incident. He was tortured day and night by it, even to the point of losing his mind and going crazy. Later, he even considered taking his own life."

"I couldn't bear to see him like this, so I secretly used a secret method to make him forget his past and start over..."

"His inner demon has not been eliminated. It has always been hidden deep in his heart and will be revived at the slightest disturbance."

So that's how it is. Everything that happened before has an explanation.

Why did Xun Zhixue lose control of himself and kill the fox demon?

Why he sometimes showed a nature that was inconsistent with his appearance, and that unexpected and uncontrollable kiss... it was all because of his inner demons.

The head of the sect knew that Chu Jing must have noticed Xun Zhixue's abnormality. "Xiao Jing, I know you are all good children, but are you really ready?"

"Inner demons are something that few people can defeat. Most people end up killing themselves or being controlled by their inner demons. Zhixue has already failed once."

At that time, he found out that Xun Zhixue fell in love with Chu Jing, and he was quite distressed.

If you are not careful, your inner demons will be triggered again.

To ordinary people, Xun Zhixue seems normal, but in fact he has already stood on a single-plank bridge. If he makes a mistake, he will be doomed.

Moreover, is an unstable person who already has inner demons really a suitable candidate for a Taoist partner?

He didn't want Chu Jing to be dragged into the abyss, but it seemed too late.

Perhaps he shouldn't have accepted any more disciples in the first place.

Chu Jing now completely understands the mystery of Xun Zhixue. She will certainly not give up on Xun Zhixue, no matter what the reason.

"Master, I've made up my mind. I want to become a Taoist couple with my senior brother!"

"Just because Brother failed to defeat his inner demons last time doesn't mean he'll fail this time. Even if he fails, I'll still be by his side! Just like Master once did."

"And with me here, I will definitely not let Brother be controlled by his inner demons! I can do it, and I will do my best to do it!"

At worst, we can just reopen it.

If that were true, maybe she could become a senior to her senior brothers.

Why should you be afraid of failure before things even begin? You should be determined to win and give it your all every time!

The Sect Master was shocked by Chu Jing's ignorant words, but he immediately laughed heartily, "Great! This is the courage that my disciple Jueming should have!"

After talking about her and Xun Zhixue, Chu Jing told the headmaster about the many suspicious points about Xiao Jinghe.

After listening to Chu Jing's words, the headmaster's expression was slightly serious, "There is actually such a secret."

"After coming out of the secret realm, Xiao Jinghe even disregarded Xiao Ling's safety and wanted to kill that demon?"

"This matter may have serious implications. I will have someone investigate. Please pay more attention to Xiao Jinghe. I suspect he is after some treasure within our sect."

From the sect leader, Chu Jing learned that Xiao Jinghe was the biological son of Elder Qinglang of the Xuanjian Sect, but his biological mother was unknown.

Chu Jing was thinking about this, and when he walked out of the palace gate, he was bumped into by Xun Zhixue. Of course, Xun Zhixue was deliberately trying to scam him.

Xun Zhixue had been waiting outside for a long time, and she didn't know what her master and Xiaojing were talking about inside.

But looking at Xiaojing's worried look, it doesn't seem like a good thing?

"What did Master tell you? Does he not agree with us? That's impossible. Master has clearly already agreed to it."

Chu Jing pulled Xun Zhixue towards their residence. "Of course, our master agrees and supports our affairs. I'm just thinking about other things. I'll tell you when we get back!"
