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

Perhaps he noticed the haggard look in Ye Yongzhen's face, or perhaps it was because there were many customers in the afternoon, and it was not a good idea to just stand there and stare blankly.

Cai Lian pointed to a few wooden barrels on the stall behind her, her eyes lingering on Gu Yi for a moment as she said with a smile, "There's still quite a bit of food left. What would you like to eat, Master Ye?"

Ye Yongzhen and Qingxuan are both regular customers here.

I ordered a few of my favorites and moved into the store.

Gu Yi, on the other hand, was here for the first time and didn't know what the best-selling products were in the dessert shop. He stood in front of the wooden sign with black writing for a long time.

"Have we met somewhere?"

The voice interrupted Gu Yi's thoughts.

He withdrew his gaze from the wooden sign and continued with the excuse he had prepared. "People often say this, but in reality, every encounter in life is a fate destined by heaven. There's a saying that goes, 'Why do we need to have known each other before we meet?'"

"It would be better if you didn't speak."

Cai Lian put her hands on her hips, tilted her head and looked Gu Yi up and down with a playful look, her eyebrows curved as she said, "The moment you opened your mouth, I feel more and more that we have met somewhere before."

"Hehe, it's nice to feel like you've known each other for a long time, but a perfect match is even more precious."

Gu Yi smiled and replied, "To be honest, seeing Miss Cai Lian also gave me a familiar feeling. Perhaps we have indeed met somewhere before."

Upon hearing this, Cai Lian, whose personality is even more manly than that of a tomboy, burst into laughter.

"You're quite interesting. Would you like to try our shop's sign?"

It can be seen that Gu Yi is suffering from decision-making difficulties.

Cai Lian took the initiative to recommend several best combinations that were popular among customers.

Gu Yi originally wanted to try all of them, but considering that Ye Yongzhen was now penniless, he just picked the ones that sounded the best to him.

"Okay, you guys sit down first, I'll be right there!"

When Gu Yi walked inside and sat down, he suddenly realized that Ye Yongzhen had been staring at his face. He couldn't help but said with a smile: "Why are you staring at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

"Do you know that what you said will cost me my life?"

Ye Yongzhen said somewhat unhappily.

The Flower Palace Goddess was extremely famous. It was true that Song Zhitao was the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Divine Territory, but compared to the so-called spring night, he cherished the present peaceful time even more.

A friendship with the Flower Palace Goddess.

Even if you are recognized, it may bring you some unnecessary trouble.

So when Song Zhitao came to visit Ye Yongzhen with Xi Zhaozhao, he always spoke coldly to her, just to make Song Zhitao give up and avoid causing unnecessary trouble to both parties.

Ye Yongzhen once ran into a fight in the theater over an argument about the beauty of Peach Blossom Fairy and Rainbow Cloud Fairy. The key point was that it wasn't just one person, it was a group! He didn't want to cause any rumors to spread everywhere and make his already troubled life even worse.

"Song Zhitao is not here, what are you afraid of?"

Gu Yi said indifferently.

"Just because she's not here now doesn't mean she won't come in the future."

Ye Yongzhen rubbed his temples, feeling a headache. "The main thing is that Uncle Lin is getting old. If he meets Song Zhitao someday, I don't know if he will say a few words about it."

"Oh...you don't know. The last time she came here, there were several hooligans squatting outside the courtyard wall who were idle all day. If Qingxuan hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."

"I even had to use a broom to chase him away a few times afterwards. It was so frustrating!"

Unlike the secluded sects, this was Liancheng in western Sichuan, an extremely lively and bustling place. Let alone the first beauty in the Eastern Divine Territory, even if a beautiful fairy with fair skin and beautiful appearance passed by here, it would attract widespread attention.

"Even when I'm taking a shower, I'm being chased by a bunch of men. Can you understand how that feels?"

"I didn't quite understand at first, but after hearing you put it..."

Gu Yi said embarrassedly: "I can understand your good intentions a little bit now."

There is also an elderly man of nearly 100 years old and two maids of good looks living in the Ye Mansion. The goddess Hua Gong has always been upright and respectful, and usually will not change her appearance for such trivial matters.

In Song Zhitao's words, she has nothing to hide because she is upright.

But this will cause some unnecessary troubles to people.

If you think about it carefully, except for the hermits who live in seclusion in the mountains, most of the noble and elegant people hiding in the world usually like to hide their identities and continue their lives under another identity.

Don't look at Ye Yongzhen like this. He and Gu Yi had offended many enemies when they were young. He is not afraid of those low-class people, but there are other people living in the mansion.

What Ye Yongzhen hates most in his life is the scene where others use their relatives to threaten others.

Either one should take responsibility for one's own actions, or one should keep a low profile and behave himself. He has always despised and looked down upon people who implicate innocent people because of their own mistakes.

"As long as you understand."

Ye Yongzhen sighed deeply, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Cailian, who was busy in the store but still smiling. He sneered and said in a flat tone, "Although Cailian has a bad temper and is not good-looking, if you marry someone like her..."

Qingxuan's body stiffened and she quickly pricked up her ears to listen, fearing that she would miss any crucial information.

"It's also good for protecting the house or warding off evil."

Qingxuan:······

No wonder Sister Ruolian always wants to beat up the master.

The master's mouth...

"With someone like you, you want to marry someone but they're not willing to marry you!"

Apart from Gu Yi, there is no one else...

"I'm so bored I'm keeping a tigress at home."

Ye Yongzhen complained, "This person is just sick, you know! I don't know how I offended her. It's fine if we don't meet, but once we meet, she finds fault with me all the time."

"Have you ever thought that it's your fault?"

Gu Yi asked with a smile.

"Shit!"

The corner of Ye Yongzhen's eye twitched, and he immediately said angrily, "Have you ever seen a woman approach you and ask 'what are you looking at' just because you looked at her a few more times?"

"That's Meng Caiyun, isn't it?"

Gu Yi immediately gave an example.

"That's why I said Meng Caiyun is sick!"

Ye Yongzhen rants: "No one without a problem would like someone like this. Do you think Feng Wanli really likes Meng Caiyun? If you ask me, this is simply 'sympathy for each other'!"

"They are all sick!"

"And that bastard Hong Jun is the biggest idiot of all. He has a rather impressive reputation, 'Lord of the Purple Air Coming from the East'? He's even more arrogant than Dugu Ao! He should have been caught and given a good beating. Damn it! Even Ji Cang wouldn't dare be so presumptuous!"

"Oh, by the way, what did Meng Caiyun talk to you about that night?"

As he was cursing, Ye Yongzhen suddenly changed the subject and asked this question.

"Nothing much to talk about, just some troubles in my practice."

Gu Yi explained without blushing or panicking.

But after saying this, Ye Yongzhen didn't speak again for a long time. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Gu Yi's face intently.

Then, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a playful expression.

Seeing this, Gu Yi suddenly fell silent.

This shameless guy, wouldn't he be eavesdropping?

"cough!"

Gu Yi coughed heavily, trying to divert attention: "How are these people doing now?"

"God knows what became of them."

Ye Yongzhen sipped his wolfberry syrup and said nonchalantly, "I don't know about the others, but a few years ago, Ji Cang seemed to have inherited his father's position and is now the emperor."

"incredible."

Gu Yi nodded: "When I saw him and Emperor Wu revealing the truth, I had a premonition that in the near future, Emperor Wu would pass the throne to Ji Cang. I didn't expect it to come true."

"Owner!!!"

"speak."

As they were chatting, Qingxuan suddenly interrupted and said, "If there was someone as good as Sister Song, who would you choose?"

Both of them turned their eyes to Qingxuan at the same time, especially Ye Yongzhen, who looked at Qingxuan with an expression of "What are you talking about" and felt uneasy.

"You are sick too."

"No! I, I..."

Qingxuan hesitated, glancing at Cailian who was greeting other customers in the shop. Her voice gradually faded away, and she muttered weakly, "I'm just asking, why would you argue with a child..."

Ye Yongzhen sighed helplessly and said, "Why don't you include Xiao Tang'er as well."

"Ah? Didn't she already..."

"You said 'if'."

Qingxuan looked away and muttered, "Now that you've said that, let alone someone as outstanding as Sister Song, even if there were a hundred more, there would be no chance of winning..."

"What are you talking about? Who is Xiao Tang'er?"

Cai Lian, who had just finished her work, happened to pass by and playfully said, "Could it be that this is some little girl that Master Ye is hooking up with?"

"My wife." Ye Yongzhen looked calm.

But after he finished speaking, except for Gu Yi who seemed to have only the snacks in his eyes, Cai Lian and Qing Xuan all stood there in a daze, not coming back to their senses for a long time.

"You...you're already married?!"

Cai Lian was the first to react, her face full of surprise.

"I'm already fifty years old, it's normal for me to get married."

Ye Yongzhen replied calmly.

"But, you, you, you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm busy. You guys eat first. If it's not enough, call me for more."

I saw Cai Lian walking away dejectedly.

Ye Yongzhen felt strange. He turned to look at Gu Yi and asked, "What happened to her?"

"Who knows."

Gu Yi chuckled and immediately repeated in his own words what Uncle Lin had said in the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion: "Some things are okay to fool others, but don't fool yourself."

"You don't understand this."

Ye Yongzhen said nonchalantly, "Appropriate bragging can temporarily excite the human body, stimulate blood circulation, and promote metabolism, thereby achieving the effect of prolonging life."

Gu Yi couldn't help but laugh: "Is it really effective?"

Old Ye knows so much...

"do not know."

Ye Yongzhen said calmly: "I'm just bragging."

Not too many...

Compared to the two of them chatting and laughing.

Qingxuan stood there like a fool. At this moment, even she could not tell how much truth and how much falsehood were in Ye Yongzhen's words.

Ye Yongzhen, Ye Yongzhen......

I named myself "Yongzhen", which means always sincere.

But the result is...

Living forever in a false world and abandoning your original self.

Flowers will bloom and fall in time, and fate will eventually end.

No one can sing forever, and no one can be immortal forever.

In fact, for Qingxuan, such a relatively ordinary life is pretty good.

This encounter happened after experiencing the ancient destruction and dormancy for a hundred thousand years.

Qingxuan is already content to be able to accompany Ye Yongzhen as he grows up.

One hundred thousand years ago, he grew up with her.

One hundred thousand years later, she grew up with him.

One hundred thousand years ago, he was also full of vigor and ambition...

But, since the day we met.

There was always a trace of deep worry in his brow.

Now we meet again.

After experiencing a period of high spirits, the young man also encountered a low point from which he could no longer recover.

Everything seemed to be a repeat of history.

Qingxuan imagined that Ye Yongzhen would stand up again and once again take up the sword to fight for the top spot.

She looks forward to that day.

I'm also afraid that day will come too soon.

A leaf blooms in a flourishing age...

A leaf from later generations, like a small boat, sails across the long river of time and returns to the little-known past, when the flowers were in full bloom, and it was a prosperous era with hundreds of flowers in full bloom.

But a leaf quietly fell into it...

"You can eat, but why are you leaning on me?!"

"Master, Qingxuan really, really can't bear to leave you."

"...It's broad daylight, aren't you disgusting? Go away, don't get close to me."

"Hey!"

"Hey, what are you talking about? There are so many people here, are you going to force me to do it?"

"Humph!"

"Hey, you damn girl, you eat my food and live my house, and you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me?!"

Gu Yi's face remained indifferent.

But in my heart, I began to doubt Qingxuan's unreasonable words "I can't bear to let go".

With Qingxuan's ability, there is no one in the five domains who can defeat him.

Why did he suddenly show such reluctance to part?...

Had a simple afternoon tea.

With nothing to do, the three of them strolled around the city together.

As ordinary people, they don't talk about cultivation, but gossip about random things, such as who inherited the family business, who got three grandchildren, who got stabbed to death...

I feel that time is as ruthless as flowing water.

until......

"I told you to hand it over! Hand it over, you hear me?!"

"What are you looking at? Get out of here!!!"

With this person's loud shout, the real sound waves spread out like ripples.

This person who committed a crime in broad daylight was actually a cultivator?!

"Yo."

Ye Yongzhen became interested, "I seem to smell the scent of melon."

Gu Yi and Qing Xuan looked around.

"You have a very sensitive nose, then."

Gu Yi said admiringly: "I didn't even smell it."

"...The melon I'm talking about is lively, lively, don't you understand?"

"You're the type who always likes to flirt when things can be explained in one sentence."

The three of them took a step forward and approached the crowded crowd in front.

But they had just squeezed through the crowd and had no time to ask passers-by about the whole story when suddenly a wild and unrestrained laugh fell from the sky.

"Ha ha ha ha......"

"The world is in your heart, and the universe is in your hands..."

"I, the Sword Master, am here!"
