The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

An angry voice was heard outside the restaurant.

pat-

The candlestick slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, rolling to the side.

Qingxuan's face turned pale in an instant, and she looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't.

soon.

A wet figure appeared at the door.

At first glance, it turned out to be Ye Yongzhen who had rushed back.

"On our way back, a strong wind suddenly blew up on the sea, and the waves surged..."

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

Drops of water dripped down the clothes and onto the ground.

Ye Yongzhen's face was dark. Every step he took left a clear footprint on the ground. He was so angry that he didn't even have time to tidy up his appearance.

An attitude of raising an army to accuse:

"This boat was sailing fine, and then it capsized suddenly. Qingxuan, do you have anything to say about this?"

"Master, it's not me, it's, it's..."

"I asked her to do this. If you have anything to say, just come to me... I'm going back first."

Wen Zixi picked up the lotus candlestick that had fallen on the ground and walked away quickly as if he was guilty of a crime.

"Sixth Brother, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Gu Junming's voice, mixed with warmth and anger, came from afar.

Another group of people appeared at the door. The leader was naturally Gu Junming, whose hair was stuck to his scalp, his whole body was dripping with water, and he looked as miserable as a drowned chicken.

However, Wen Zixi just paused and continued walking forward.

"I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been resolved. Goodbye, Big Brother."

"stop!"

This time, Gu Junming's voice was filled with anger and a majesty that brooked no disobedience.

Wen Zixi knew that he could not escape the disaster, so he could only turn around with a wry smile and walked over silently.

"What the hell..."

Xiao Qingyue's wet appearance was just like a lotus flower emerging from the water. She quickly grabbed her long hair with both hands.

With a strong twist, water droplets splashed in an instant, with a "splashing" sound, and the water that was squeezed out was like beads that had broken off the string, scattered all over the ground.

"I've never been so embarrassed in a fight."

Xiao Qingyue complained dissatisfiedly.

"is not that right."

Song Zhitao said while suppressing a smile.

She hadn't changed much, still looking the same as when she left. Long before the waves were about to overturn the cruise ship, she summoned the water-repellent beads and chose to protect herself.

But others are not so lucky.

The worst among them is undoubtedly Lei Haotian.

He was lying in the cabin having a sweet dream when the cruise ship capsized.

After all, there are sometimes strong winds and big waves at sea, so Lei Haotian didn't take it seriously.

But when the tragedy happened, Lei Haotian had already choked on countless mouthfuls of sea water.

Oh sea, you are so fucking salty!

Seeing that nothing happened, Dugu Ao and Ji Cang shook their bodies and used their true energy to dry their clothes.

"I'll go get the fragment of the Demon Eye ashore first."

Ji Cang said, "Come here as soon as you've finished solving this problem."

"Okay." Gu Junming agreed.

They have found the fragment of the Demon Eye that fell in the Chuan Sea.

If they hadn't encountered this incident on the way back, they would have already transported the debris as heavy as the hill to the shore and found the elders of the sea tribe to discuss the next steps.

The process of finding the fragments of the Demon Eye was quite dramatic.

On the first day, Xiao Qingyue found the fragment of the Demon Eye half buried in the soil in the area she was responsible for searching.

But Xiao Qingyue didn't think things would go so smoothly, nor did she want to believe that such a thing as pie in the sky would happen to her.

In the end, I chose to turn a blind eye and continue searching.

If Gu Junming hadn't heard Xiao Qingyue jokingly mention during their casual chat on the way to the next destination today that she had seen a strange rock covered with seaweed and intricate patterns, he would have almost missed it!

"I'm sorry, Master. I was wrong..."

"What's wrong?"

"The mistake was that you shouldn't have used brute force to move the Great Sacred Artifact."

"Humph, admitting your mistake now is too much...Great Sacred Artifact!?"

Ye Yongzhen was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that everyone's focus was not on them, he immediately raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing a hint of greed, and asked urgently in a low voice:

"Where is it? Take it out and let me see it!"

"It's not mine, it's Sister Wen's."

Qingxuan pointed at Wen Zixi who was being lectured by Gu Junming and said truthfully, "Master, look, that's the 'Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus Lantern' that Sister Wen is holding in her hand."

Colorful Lotus Lantern?

Ye Yongzhen looked at it intently and quickly recognized that the seven-colored lotus candlestick was the one he had handed over before.

At that time, in order to cut this thing out of the seven-colored gourd stone, Ye Yongzhen took a shortcut, but it took him a lot of effort and was finally discovered by the people from the Liuli Chamber of Commerce.

This little thing is actually the most powerful great sacred weapon in the world? Play with it!

Ye Yongzhen suddenly felt his heart bleeding.

Qingxuan would not lie to him, but that thing originally belonged to him!

No, I have to find a chance to get it back!

"You've always been sensible in your actions. What happened this time?"

Gu Junming frowned and said, "You're bothering Qingxuan just to open this thing? You know Qingxuan... Anyway, you can't do this again in the future."

He lowered his voice and said, "You should know that, apart from Old Ye, no other old man dares to tell Qingxuan what to do. You should also be more careful in the future and respect and be in awe of Qingxuan!"

"Isn't Qingxuan the maidservant taken in by Senior Brother Ye?"

Wen Zixi was a little confused, "Could it be that she has another identity?"

Gu Junming raised his index finger, signaling for silence.

He repeatedly warned, "I can't tell you the details, Sixth Brother. This isn't just for you, it's for everyone in the sect. Remember, don't get too involved with Qingxuan. At the very least, try to avoid being alone with each other."

"This cause and effect belongs only to Old Ye, no one else is allowed to interfere!"

"But, Xixi..."

"Xixi is Lao Ye's junior sister, so they can't be compared."

Gu Junming revealed some of his secrets to Wen Zixi.

"Don't look at me like this. In fact, some of the karma in the dark is not counted on me. Besides... I am not based here, so I can't affect you."

Wen Zixi was confused by what he heard, but he could understand the general meaning.

The reason why the eldest brother was able to contact Qingxuan was because someone took over this cause and effect for him.

Or rather.

The cause and effect that belongs to the eldest brother will not affect everyone in the sect, so there is no need to worry about it.

But she is different. She can directly or indirectly influence everyone in the sect.

Avoid it if you can.

However, there is still one thing Wen Zixi is unclear about.

Who is Qingxuan?

Why was she willing to be Ye Yongzhen's maid?

What kind of relationship exists between these two? What is the so-called cause and effect?
