On the road.
Su Xiaomo had a bruised and swollen face, his eyes narrowed to slits.
Sigh.
Just one chapter later and his injuries were worse again.
“I still insist on my viewpoint.” Su Xiaomo said while covering his face: “The reason people are people is precisely because they have the seven emotions and six desires!”
“…”
Walking ahead, Ye Xingchen’s face darkened again.
However.
He didn’t take action.
Actually, beating Su Xiaomo yesterday was also because he suddenly remembered that years ago when he was forced to enter the sect, this guy seemed to have led the charge in beating him up.
This grudge had been held for at least thirty years.
“Don’t impose your viewpoint on me.” Ye Xingchen said indifferently.
“Exactly.”
Su Xiaomo said: “Junior Brother Ye also can’t apply his own viewpoint to Junior Brother Xiao. After all, everyone’s situation is different. Just because you were hurt and want to be emotionless, must you force him to be emotionless too?”
“It’s just advice.”
Ye Xingchen said impatiently: “Whether he accepts it or not is his problem.”
Caught in the middle, Xiao Zuiji was in a difficult position, saying: “Senior Brother, Junior Brother, please stop arguing. I know what I’m doing.”
“My point isn’t for you to rekindle old flames with Murong Xin, I just want to tell you that in this world besides the martial path, there are actually many other things worth cherishing.”
“As for Junior Brother Ye…”
Su Xiaomo lowered his voice and said: “Your bodies have already done outrageous things, yet you still refuse to admit it. Just like the Sect Master, completely lacking a man’s sense of responsibility.”
“…”
Xiao Zuiji’s mouth twitched slightly.
Third Senior Brother seemed to have not been beaten enough. Talking about Junior Brother Ye was one thing, but he actually dared mention the Sect Master. Wasn’t he afraid of replacing Mao Xiaodao in cleaning toilets?
Speaking of which, it was strange.
Ye Xingchen clearly heard what Su Xiaomo said but didn’t explode.
He kept walking forward with his head down, even thinking again about what happened in the great hall that he couldn’t quite remember.
The word “again.”
Quite meaningful.
To prevent dear readers from forgetting, the woman who had conjugal relations with the Night Emperor was named Xie Lingyao—Xie from “the one who tied the bell must untie it.”
…
“You’re back?”
In the study, Jun Changxiao held his orchid fingers extended, holding nail clippers, slowly and methodically trimming his fingernails. His face also had a layer of facial mask applied—truly refined to an insane degree.
“Back then when Yue Buqun cultivated the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, he also seemed to gradually change like this. It seems…” the System muttered.
“Sect Master.”
Su Xiaomo said: “We completed three missions.”
“Oh.”
Jun Changxiao responded with a sound, saying: “What happened to your face?”
“Junior Brother Ye hit me.”
“What, you provoked him?”
“Don’t even mention it.”
Su Xiaomo helped himself to sit in a nearby chair, crossed his legs, rested his hands on them, and began to relate the entire incident from beginning to end, completely forgetting his promise to Xiao Zuiji to pretend he saw nothing.
After Jun Changxiao learned of it, he gently patted his face and said: “To encounter a former fiancée in Ten Thousand Demon Valley, isn’t this a bit too coincidental?”
“Could it be…”
His eyes suddenly turned cold and severe: “Done deliberately?”
The killing intent was heavy!
Don’t let his reckless appearance fool you—if someone schemed against his disciples, he would definitely change his demeanor.
Dare to kill gods, dare to slay demons. With one command, the Eternal Sect’s hundred thousand disciples would come running!
“This…”
Su Xiaomo said: “Probably not, right?”
Judging by Murong Xin’s near-death state at the time, it completely didn’t seem like she was acting.
“Mo.”
Jun Changxiao continued applying moisture to his mask while saying: “People’s hearts are sinister, one must be on guard.”
“…”
Su Xiaomo could barely stand it anymore.
Because the Sect Master kept his orchid fingers extended throughout. That appearance was too deserving of a beating!
“Where’s Zuiji?”
“He returned to his quarters.”
“Have him come over, I have something to say.”
“Okay!”
Su Xiaomo swiftly left the study. However, halfway there he came to his senses, collapsing inwardly: “Did I talk too much?”
…
“Sect Master.”
Xiao Zuiji walked in.
“Sit.”
Jun Changxiao said.
Xiao Zuiji sat down, feeling somewhat uneasy inside.
“Zuiji.”
Jun Changxiao removed his facial mask, revealing his refined face, and said: “I heard that in Ten Thousand Demon Valley, you encountered Murong Xin?”
“…”
Xiao Zuiji roared inwardly: “When Junior Brother Ye was beating Senior Brother Su, why didn’t I go add a few kicks!”
“Correct.”
“What are your thoughts?”
Jun Changxiao looked at him, seemingly trying to see through his heart.
Xiao Zuiji said: “Someone encountered danger, so this disciple righteously acted to help.”
“Nothing else?”
“Nothing else.”
Jun Changxiao shook his head, saying: “Although I don’t agree with Xingchen’s viewpoint, you still need to be careful to avoid being schemed against.”
Xiao Zuiji understood the Sect Master’s meaning and immediately stated his position: “Sect Master, she and I no longer have any grudges. In the future we’re also destined to be people living in different worlds. Nothing will happen.”
“You may go.”
Jun Changxiao waved his hand.
“Yes.”
Xiao Zuiji left the study, shaking his head: “I shouldn’t have saved her.”
Jun Changxiao sat in the study, his ten fingers clasped together, as if pondering problems. After a moment, he transmitted: “Hall Master Li, come here for a bit.”
“It’s the middle of the night. Aren’t you afraid Madam will misunderstand?”
“…”
Jun Changxiao roared: “This is official business, what misunderstanding!”
…
The next day.
Led by Li Shangtian, members of the Drizzle Hall mobilized.
They received orders early on to secretly investigate Murong Xin, making sure to thoroughly investigate everything she experienced after the three-year agreement.
“The disciples are all this Seat’s precious treasures.” Jun Changxiao leaned against the great hall’s railing, his expression serious as he said: “I won’t tolerate them being schemed against by those with ulterior motives.”
“Cautious.”
The System praised.
Xiao Zuiji and Murong Xin meeting in Ten Thousand Demon Valley, with Su Xiaomo blindly stirring things up—no one considered that this was too coincidental. Could it have been deliberately planned?
What disciples didn’t think of, Jun Changxiao had to consider, because as the parent of the Eternal Sect, he had an obligation to protect his children from being deceived.
“Beep beep!”
“Beep beep!”
Suddenly, a prompt sounded in his ear: “About to leave the Canghai System! About to enter the Cangyun System!”
Jun Changxiao returned to the cockpit and saw ahead in the starry void seemingly folding together, emanating colorful flowing light.
This was the cosmic barrier at the edge of the Canghai System. Once they passed through, they would enter another cosmic region—the Cangyun System.
“So beautiful.”
Hua Meigui walked to the window, looking at the gorgeous cosmic scenery.
“Tch.”
Jun Changxiao said: “What’s so great about this.”
Hua Meigui turned around, leaning against the control console, her hands crossed together, smiling: “I heard Zuiji met his former fiancée?”
“Who told you?”
Jun Changxiao felt this question was somewhat superfluous. Without even thinking, it was definitely spread by Big Mouth Su.
“You dispatched Hall Master Li to investigate. Are you worried that woman is playing tricks, deliberately approaching Zuiji?” Hua Meigui asked.
“Correct.”
Jun Changxiao said.
“What if she’s not playing tricks?” Hua Meigui said.
“This…”
Jun Changxiao fell into silence.
Hua Meigui said: “The disciples are all grown up. If they’re like you, they’ll inevitably be lonely for life. If they meet someone suitable, you might as well play matchmaker.”
“Don’t.”
Jun Changxiao was quite self-aware, saying: “I’m not cut out to be a matchmaker.”
Readers agreed with this statement.
He hadn’t even resolved his own emotional problems—what qualifications did he have to matchmake disciples? They even prayed that being a straight man wasn’t contagious, lest he infect all the male members of the sect.
“Boom—”
Suddenly, the Eternal Warship transmitted violent shaking.
This was because it had merged into the cosmic barrier where the Canghai System and Cangyun System met. The internal energy was too violent, causing the entire ship hull to shake ceaselessly.
Inside the cockpit, everything was in chaos.
Hua Meigui, who had been sitting at the console, was flung out due to inertia. Just as she was about to hit the wall, Jun Changxiao caught her around the waist.
This scene was troublesome to describe. Please combine various cliché plot scenarios where male and female leads have accidental physical contact and imagine it yourself.
Can’t imagine it?
No problem, because Hua Meigui smoothly placed her hands around Jun Changxiao’s neck, closed her bright eyes and leaned in. Her vermillion lips drew closer and closer, finally joining together.
“Sect Master!”
Su Xiaomo appeared out of thin air, alarmed: “What’s the situation?”
Hua Meigui raised her hand. A powerful stream of light flew directly from her palm, fiercely striking out.
“Bang—”
Su Xiaomo was blasted like a cannonball from the cockpit to the stern compartment, then gradually tilted his head to the side, foaming at the mouth: “I… came at the wrong time…”
