I quit the sect and became a demon cultivator. Master and Sister kneel down to beg for forgiveness.

Li Changqing was holding a map in his hand, which was given to him by Xuanyuan Zhishui.

Following the map, we successfully entered the wilderness.

Ye Ling'er looked around and saw rugged rocks and no one living there. The journey had been smooth, which was nothing like the legendary Xuanyuan family.

She pointed at the map and chuckled, "Xuanyuan Zhishui is too honest. The map is quite detailed!"

Following Titu's instructions, they successfully avoided the heavy defenses of the wasteland and headed directly to Xuanyuan Lake.

Some guards were even just a dozen meters away and passed by them.

Xin Xueyi is different from Ye Ling'er, she is a seasoned veteran.

"The Xuanyuan family has always been a mysterious place. Don't you think it's strange that Xuanyuan Zhishui gave such a confidential map to Changqing?"

Ye Ling'er didn't care at all and joked, "Who cares what her intentions are? Maybe Xuanyuan Zhishui has a crush on the Sixth Prince!"

Li Changqing was quite disappointed to hear that she was just joking and there was no jealousy in her words.

"Senior Xin is right. From what I've seen, Xuanyuan Zhishui acts like a man who's been around the world for a long time and has a very careful mind!"

As for her intention, Li Changqing couldn't guess it for a while. When they first met, he felt that Xuanyuan Zhishui had the carefree attitude of controlling the world of martial arts at his fingertips, and the pain between his brows seemed to be the concentration of thousands of thoughts.

Su Qi, who stopped her from returning to Xuanyuan Villa outside Yingjian, was clearly familiar with her and did not kill her.

If my guess is correct, Su Qi is from Xuanyuan Villa, so something must have happened in Xuanyuan Villa that she doesn't want to be involved in.

"That's right. Xuanyuan Zhishui probably gave Changqing the map not just out of gratitude. Perhaps he had other intentions in letting us in!"

Xin Xueyi guessed that there must be something wrong with the abnormal situation!

Ye Ling'er looked at the two of them and said, "Why bother thinking about things that you can't figure out? Things have happened, so just deal with them!"

They both turned their heads and looked at Ye Ling'er.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Ling'er thought they were strange.

Li Changqing smiled bitterly. Ye Ling'er was protected too well by the Dream Building Palace, and her cultivation was in vain.

The world is dangerous, don’t you understand?

"It's okay, I just think you're cute!"

Li Changqing changed the subject and teased him by saying that if he had the cultivation level of the Great Sage Ye Ling'er, he wouldn't have to think too much.

There are people in the world who can defeat her, but there are very few who can trap her.

Ye Ling'er glared at him when she heard that. "Slippery!"

It's not that I don't like it, but using the word "cute" to describe the dream-building saint who is second only to the emperor does somewhat undermine her dignity.

She didn't want people to think that she, a saint, was childish!

Of course, Ye Ling'er can become a saint not because she is really naive. There are many things that she can understand, but she just thinks it is unnecessary.

The reason she came out this time was to take off her identity as a saint and have some fun, naturally, she would do whatever she wanted to enjoy herself.

After saying that, he walked straight forward, his angry look adding a touch of beauty to the boring journey.

At this time, they were crossing a jungle. For reasons of secrecy, they could not fly and could only walk to Xuanyuan Lake.

The map given by Xuanyuan Zhishui is safe, but it is very complicated to get around in circles. You have to cross mountains and forests and the Gobi Desert, so it is estimated that the journey will take several days.

There was more time for jokes on the way. Li Changqing had a rare chance to relax and enjoy the time with Ye Ling'er.

When we were about to leave the forest, it was almost dusk. Looking down from the edge of the forest, we could see the heart of the wilderness.

Just one look and I immediately felt a heavy and ancient atmosphere surging.

"Let's rest for one night and continue our journey tomorrow!"

Li Changqing jumped down from a big rock, found a hiding place, lit a bonfire, and roasted a wild game.

Amidst the fragrance and night air, they chatted casually with each other in the light of the campfire.

……

Xuanyuan Villa.

"Dad, the villa sent a message asking me to come back. Something big must have happened in the villa. Why did you let Su Qi stop me from coming back?"

Xuanyuan Zhishui questioned his father Xuanyuan Xincheng, his tone full of confusion and even contempt.

The Xuanyuan clan of Xuanyuan Mountain is the resident clan of Luanhun Mountain, and its history is much longer than that of the Dark Alliance.

The mountain master, Xuanyuan Patriarch, has been practicing in seclusion, aiming to break through to the Emperor realm, and has since stopped caring about the affairs of the villa.

Xuanyuan Villa, which is already full of factions, is experiencing increasingly fierce fighting for the position of villa owner.

Xuanyuan Xincheng is the eldest son of the legitimate wife and was originally the first choice to inherit the manor as the owner. Unfortunately, he has always been indifferent to fame and fortune and never fights for anything.

Xuanyuan Xinyi and Xuanyuan Xinli from the second house were allowed to do whatever they wanted. They had no respect for the eldest house and mocked it at every turn.

As for cultivation resources, the eldest son's family has the least.

Xuanyuan Zhishui couldn't stand his father's timidity the most. At the age of fourteen, he left Xuanyuan Villa in anger and ventured into the world.

This is the first time I’ve returned to Xuanyuan Villa in five years.

"Since you're out, why come back? Wouldn't it be better to make a name for yourself in the martial arts world?"

Xuanyuan Xincheng just kept nagging, but didn't mention a word about why Xuanyuan Patriarch called her back.

"You're always like this, being trampled underfoot, not even daring to breathe. Do you really think that if you can drive me out of Xuanyuan Mountain, you won't be looked down upon by the Second and Third Houses?"

As Xuanyuan Zhishui spoke, tears began to flow, and all the grievances he suffered in his childhood came flooding back.

Xuanyuan Xincheng felt heartbroken when he saw his daughter's grief, but he endured it and said, "Letting you leave Xuanyuan Villa is all for your own good. You will understand in the future!"

"I don't understand! When Mother died, you were just as indifferent. You disliked my hot temper and were afraid I'd get into trouble, so you locked me up for six months. Now that I'm back, you're afraid I'll get into trouble again?"

Xuanyuan Zhishui's face flushed red. After five years of traveling around the world, she was no longer the same person she used to be. It was even more impossible for her to let herself be wronged because of her father's cowardice.

"Whatever you think, even if you come back, I will find a way to get you away!"

Xuanyuan Xincheng, who is usually cowardly, rarely shows a sense of determination.

"This matter is not up to you!"

He then sighed, as if to himself.

"Father, my daughter has grown up. You can't be my master in many matters!"

Xuanyuan Zhishui suppressed the grief and anger in his heart and stared straight into his father's eyes with stubbornness.

Xuanyuan Xincheng met her gaze, revealing an extremely complicated expression, and then looked away sadly.

Speaking of Xuanyuan Xincheng, when he was young, he was known as the Xuanyuan family's genius in cultivation. When he was in his teens, he was in the heavenly realm and almost became a saint.

Afterwards, as if under a spell, his realm plummeted, and in less than a year, he lost all his cultivation.

Later, his mother Zhao died unexpectedly, which hit Xuanyuan Xincheng hard. He stopped practicing martial arts and instead buried himself in piles of old papers to study.

At the age of twenty, he married Liu, and gave birth to Xuanyuan Zhishui a year later. However, less than a hundred days later, Liu also died.

From then on, Xuanyuan Xincheng was completely disheartened and gave up the idea of ​​remarrying. He depended on Xuanyuan Zhishui for life.

"Someone will take you away!"

Xuanyuan Xincheng talked to himself, completely ignoring the anger and disappointment in Xuanyuan Zhishui's eyes.

"I said before, my affairs are my own, and I have the final say. Now that I'm back, I'm going to get involved in the affairs of the villa and take back everything that belongs to my eldest wife!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"Hey, Shisui, you never understood your father. I really can't let you act willfully this time!"

His hand stretched out from his sleeve, holding a black token with three words written on it: Jiuge Order!
