The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

"Wan'er, I will give you time to think it over. Whether you choose to let Zhiqiao and Nanqiao wake up, or choose Di Siheng, it all depends on your decision. I hope you don't make the wrong choice."

……

Ye Wanqing was wandering alone in the valley, still a little dazed by the situation she had just experienced, her eyes full of inquiry and thought.

Especially when Zhou Muye left, Mo Yu quietly came to Ye Wanqing's side, and there was a hint of complexity and apology in his eyes when he looked at her.

"I'm sorry, Sister Dragon Girl, and please don't blame the Master. I guarantee with all my might that the Master will not stand against you. He...has a complicated identity. He simply doesn't know how to love."

Thinking of this, a hint of sarcasm and disgust flashed across Ye Wanqing's face.

Oh~ Don’t know how to love? I don’t need this kind of love.

"Master!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice with a hint of surprise sounded not far away.

Ye Wanqing came back to her senses and put away all the thoughts in her eyes. Seeing the three men and one woman coming towards her, her expression changed slightly.

"Master, why did you leave without saying a word again? Do you know how worried we were? Where have you been?"

Jiang Xu's eyes were filled with worry and complexity, and there was also a hint of barely perceptible loneliness flickering in his eyes.

As if noticing the others' concerned looks, Ye Wanqing curled her lips slightly, but didn't directly respond to Jiang Xu's words. "Nothing's wrong. I'm just used to training alone. For me, this method suits me better."

Jiang Xu glanced at Ye Wanqing suspiciously, his expression somewhat complicated. "Master, did you know that a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation just occurred in that valley over there?"

Facing the complex and inquiring look in Jiang Xu's eyes, Ye Wanqing remained unmoved. "I know, but I didn't find anything. After all, there's still the barrier. Okay, the official training is more important. The power competition will end in two days, so hurry up."

Thinking about the fact that Yu Junlin had secretly investigated the Zhou family and even sneaked into the Zhou family on his own, it seemed that he should have a deeper understanding of the Zhou family than she did.

Ye Wanqing looked at Yu Junlin not far away, with a strange glint in her eyes.

at dusk

"Master, this is for you. It's really delicious when I bake it."

I took the roast chicken handed to me by Jiang Xu and gently tore off a piece of meat. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was indeed delicious.

"good."

As if sensing Jiang Xu's slightly hesitant look, Ye Wanqing raised an eyebrow. "What? Is there something else?"

Hearing Ye Wanqing's voice, Jiang Xu breathed a sigh of relief. He had been repeating it countless times in his mind, but he couldn't help but feel nervous in front of Ye Wanqing.

He sat next to Ye Wanqing and smiled, as if to ease his embarrassment.

"Master, if... I mean if, one day I do something that makes you very angry, will you drive me away?"

"meeting."

A cold and resolute voice rang in Jiang Xu's ears. His heart was shaken, and there was fear in the depths of his eyes. He seemed unable to react to Ye Wanqing's answer, and then he immediately swore.

"Master, don't worry. I will never do anything that will make you very angry. Please, don't drive me away."

The expression in Ye Wanqing's eyes did not change, but her gaze was deeply fixed on Jiang Xu, who seemed somewhat hurt at the moment.

"Alright, Jiang Xu, you know what I mean by 'will'. Whether we're master and disciple or fellow disciples, you'll always be my best friend. As long as you don't cross my bottom line, everything will be fine."

"Bottom line?" Jiang Xu's eyes flickered with something strange. "What is Master's bottom line?"

"betray."

"What? Are you planning to betray Master?"

Ye Wanqing's tone was somewhat teasing, but a hint of inquiry and seriousness flashed in her eyes.

"Of course not, of course not. Hehe, Master, how could I possibly betray you? Of course not."

Jiang Xu suddenly opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it gently. His eyes once again regained their usual cynical look. "Master, trust me, and you can rest assured."

Ye Wanqing's lips curled slightly, but the expression in her eyes was unclear. "If that's the case, then that's best."

Jiang Xu looked at Ye Wanqing's clear eyes, but felt a dull pain in his heart. Before he could feel it carefully, Yun Qingluo's slightly excited and panicked voice sounded not far away.

"Hey, Jiang Xu, are you taking care of your roast chicken? It's about to burn!"

"Oh yes, yes, here it comes!"

Looking at Yu Junlin not far away, Ye Wanqing's heart moved, and Yu Junlin also felt the probing gaze from Ye Wanqing. Although he didn't understand the meaning, he seemed to realize that Ye Wanqing had something to discuss with him.

Late night

The two figures were hidden in the night and disappeared at the same time.

After a moment, through the moonlight, the two people's stunning looks were revealed.

"You once infiltrated the Zhou family's home to look for your sister. Did you discover anything unusual? For example, Zhou Muye's identity."

"Zhou Muye?" Yu Junlin's expression was a little strange, as if he was recalling something, or thinking about something. It was unknown what he was thinking about, but he just shook his head slightly.

"I used the secret technique of my Yu family to sneak into the Zhou family three times. However, Zhou Muye was not there during these three times, and I did not confront him head-on. However, I did hear about him from the Zhou family's servants."

"I don't know when it started, but Zhou Yan started being extremely respectful to Zhou Muye. Even if it's because Zhou Muye is so talented, it's still a little unbelievable that he's treated him this way. I'm afraid the relationship between this father and son is..."

Ye Wanqing's expression shifted slightly as she thought of what Mo Yu had said to her, and also of Zhou Muye's ruthless killing of the Zhou family elders, even threatening in front of her that he would atone for his sins with the lives of all the Zhou family members.

It seems that Zhou Makino's true identity remains to be determined.

At the same time, somewhere in the divine realm

"Master, are you sure you want to do this? But if you do this, Sister Dragon Girl will be unhappy."

"Anything that could affect Wan'er's life cannot exist. Nothing."
