After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

"Xinxin said that Xinxin is the young master's inner demon. Every time the young master's mood fluctuates, it will affect Xinxin's strength. The young master can only suppress the backlash of the inner demon in the body by constantly strengthening his own strength. Every time the young master reaches a small realm, he can suppress the corresponding backlash of the inner demon.

"Young Master, don't you understand what I mean?"

She looked into her eyes, and her gaze was clear and distinct.

In just a moment, she seemed to see Xu Youan's shadow in her eyes.

Her heart tightened slightly, and she suddenly understood what she meant.

Xinxin is her inner demon, and only her own improved cultivation can suppress the inner demon, and Xinxin's improved cultivation is only the result of external forces.

The most important thing about inner demons is the individual himself.

Cultivating immortality is also about tapping into one's own potential, striving for glory with the heavens and radiance with the sun. As long as one fights, one will strive, and as long as one strives, one will do everything possible to survive, cultivate immortality, become an immortal, and stand at the top of the world.

No matter how many difficulties lie ahead.

The inner demon is just one of the countless difficulties.

As long as she keeps moving forward on the path of cultivating immortals, she will naturally suppress the growing demons in her heart.

"It seems Master has understood." Xinxin flew in front of Jiang Liqian, hugged her neck, and kissed her face hard. Then she yawned, rubbed her eyes, and disappeared. "Master, Xinxin just ate and I'm so tired. I need to sleep. See you later, okay?"

As the last word fell, Xinxin's figure turned into a stream of light and entered Jiang Liqian's heart.

She covered her heart with her hands and was stunned for a long time.

Xinxin, are you good or evil?

Jiang Liqian, are you good or evil?

-

When the news that Jiang Yueming was imprisoned in Sanyan Cliff reached Zhenfeng, Jiang Liqian had already adjusted her mentality and set foot on the mountain road to Qimingzhai again under the reluctant gaze of her third senior sister.

She asked her third senior sister why she was seriously injured in the forbidden area, but when she woke up, she had no injuries except for her empty dantian.

The third senior sister explained that the forbidden area of ​​the Qiankun Sect would have formations to protect the sect's disciples. If a sect disciple mistakenly entered, he would be protected within the formation to the greatest extent and avoid harm. The life and death they experienced in the forbidden area were just illusions. In fact, the damage had all been resisted by the formation of the forbidden area.

However, their formations were damaged too much when they entered the forbidden area this time. Within a hundred years, no disciples were allowed to enter the forbidden area of ​​Qimingzhai, and violators would be expelled from the sect immediately.

Jiang Liqian had heard of this incident in her previous life, but had never encountered it, so she had always been skeptical. She didn't even think about it when she was in the forbidden area. However, since her third senior sister said so, she had no doubts.

But this time, due to unstable spiritual power, she forced her cultivation to stagnate at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and asked her third senior sister to take a seven-day leave on her behalf.

Although she had originally planned to meditate alone, no one, whether Shui Lian'er or Qin Beiyao, came to visit her. She didn't show anything on her face, but she always felt strange in her heart.

Stepping onto the last step of the bluestone slabs, she unconsciously tightened her sleeves, took a deep breath, and walked up.

"Hey, Xiao Douya!" The person who was in her mind the moment before suddenly jumped in front of her the next moment.

Jiang Liqian was startled for a moment and looked at her in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the next second, a large group of people squeezed out of Qimingzhai, each holding a sword in their hand, and stood in front of her in an orderly manner.

"you……"

"Zheng!" The long sword was unsheathed, the sword light was sharp, and snowflakes came into flakes.

Jiang Liqian subconsciously pressed her waist and took a step back, but in just a moment, her eyes froze and then turned into astonishment.

In front of her was a neatly-organized formation. A sword dance slowly unfolded before her, as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon. Countless sword energies shot up into the sky, startling petals of flowers from falling.

The snow-white disciple uniform looks like the snow on the sword edge that never melts all year round.

After the dance, all the disciples bowed and said, "We offer our swords as thanks. We will never forget your life-saving grace."

Jiang Liqian took a look and saw that not only the disciples of Qiankun Sect, but even the disciples of Jishen Sect were among them.

"you……"

"Li Qian, this is a thank you gift." Shui Lian'er walked up to her with a garland in her hand and solemnly placed it on her head. She looked at her with eyes full of gratitude and pride. "Thank you for risking everything to save us. A spiritual flower is worthy of a hero. You are the pride of our Qimingzhai!"

Surprise, shock, confusion, embarrassment, disbelief... Countless chaotic emotions flashed through Jiang Liqian's heart, and in the end, only a silent sob remained.

This scene had appeared in her dreams countless times.

She longed to protect the Qiankun Sect, and also longed for the Qiankun Sect's recognition of her.

She just hoped...at least it was all worth it.

She never thought that in this life, someone would remember her desperate efforts and express gratitude.

But - it's all too late.

She doesn't want any of this anymore.

If she could have encountered this scene earlier, she would not have died tragically in her previous life and returned to the next life with inner demons.

I closed my eyes deeply, and all the bitterness and unspeakable things were poured into my heart.

She hugged Shui Lian'er tightly with trembling hands.

"Thank you."

Really, thank you.

But Jiang Liqian did not think that the forbidden area incident was her sole achievement. Zhao Zhang, Song Ziming, Qin Beiyao, Sun Li, Ye Anan, Xin Sui, Shui Lianer herself, and even all the disciples of Qimingzhai, had all fought for each other.

Besides, they weren't really seriously injured.

What really protected them was the forbidden area's protective formation, not her.

Shui Lian'er shook her head after hearing this.

"Li Qian, when we were in the forbidden area, when we were about to die, who knew that what we saw was an illusion? Who knew that there would be a formation to protect us? At least at that moment, your sacrifice for us was real."

"As for what you said, the credit is not just yours," she winked at her, "we should naturally thank you too, so——"

The last syllable of her voice stretched out, and she stepped aside, pointing to the square in the distance.

A huge pile of matches was placed in the center of the square. Around the pile of matches, there were circles of spiritual fruits and delicacies, and jars of spiritual wine with a lingering fragrance were placed on the east side.

Countless butterflies transformed from talismans danced in the air, and dots of fluorescence scattered in the slightly smoky wind.

"What is this?" Jiang Liqian looked puzzled.

Shui Lian'er covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's a bonfire banquet, a reward for ourselves for never giving up and fighting bravely!"

Jiang Liqian was genuinely surprised this time and blurted out, "Are you guys planning a rebellion? Aren't you afraid that Master Zhai will come looking for you all?"

After she finished speaking, she just realized that Jiang Yueming had been imprisoned in Sanyan Cliff. Now Qimingzhai was like the King of Hell without a supervisor, and the little ghosts could only run rampant!
