Qing Ying whispered: "Why didn't you talk about this before?"

She said so on her lips, but her senior sister's previous words quietly surfaced in her heart.

The casually mentioned details are intertwined with Cai Cai's testimony, forming a vague logical chain.

——When she was in a deep sleep for five hundred years, some mortals couldn't hold back and held an evil sacrifice, which angered Xie Qingci.

——The Mozun just appeared at that time.

——The conflict between Xie Qingci and the cultivator was transferred due to the chaos caused by the Demon Lord.

——For nearly a thousand years, the Demon Lord has been wreaking havoc in the Three Realms. Xie Qingci hunted down and suppressed him, but failed to eradicate him.

...

"It's been a long time since you reunited, and your feelings are joyful, and there is no evidence for my suspicion. Even if I witness it with my own eyes this time, my convincing power is not strong."

Cai Cai said in a low voice: "So I didn't want to mention these things at first. But Su Mu was captured... I was really anxious."

She spoke very frankly and spoke the truth.

Qing Ying was silent, and only sighed long, feeling extremely heavy.

Cai Cai hesitated for a moment: "Then let me analyze the situation first?"

"it is good."

"Now there are nothing more than three situations."

"First, Heavenly Venerable was replaced by the Demon Lord, resulting in a big change in temperament. Second, Heavenly Venerable's own thoughts changed, and third, Heavenly Venerable was secretly connected with the Demon Lord. Which one do you think it is?"

Qing Ying said: "If you have to choose from here, I think it is two or three."

Caicai continued: "In this case, the question is, why did the devil specifically let me see that he has the same appearance as Heavenly Venerable, and still want to capture Su Mu?"

Qing Ying asked: "Could it be that they want to attack Xiqi Continent?"

Cai Cai said without hesitation: "That has nothing to do with Heavenly Venerable. After all, if Heavenly Venerable really wants to attack Xi Qi, there is nothing we can do."

"..." Qing Ying couldn't refute.

She said: "Maybe it's because you will probably tell me about this matter, and I know my brother's daily habits very well, so I must have corresponding doubts in my heart..."

Cai Cai pondered for a while: "He wants you to come to Xi Qi!"

Qing Ying cooperated with her thoughts and sorted out together: "What do you want me to do in Xi Qi? Brother will definitely be with me."

Caicai asked: "What about Heavenly Venerable now?"

"Didn't he go to save Su Mu? So—"

Qing Ying's voice stopped abruptly, and she saw herself in shock in Cai Cai's eyes.

She immediately asked, "How is your defense here?"

"It's okay, we're just guessing, don't scare yourself." Caicai immediately said, "Here is the formation set up by Heavenly Venerable. If there is an enemy attack, Heavenly Venerable will rush back immediately."

But just looking at Caicai's expression at the moment, Qing Ying knew what she was really thinking in her heart, and her words were just comforting.

Qing Ying whispered: "What is his relationship with senior brother?"

Caicai: "It's hard to guess about the matter of Heavenly Venerable."

Qing Ying nodded silently, with a heavy heart.

In fact, when it comes to this, the truth is almost the same, there is definitely something wrong with the senior brother.

The point is only whether he is secretly cooperating with that devil... to manipulate the Three Realms.

But Qing Ying always felt that it was impossible.

Before she fell asleep, her senior brother made a promise with her to protect the Three Realms, and Qing Ying believed him.

So she whispered: "Senior brother will not waste the lives of common people."

Cai Cai looked at her with a slightly complicated expression.

Qing Ying knows what Caicai is thinking right now, Caicai must feel that she is lovestruck, blindly trusting Xie Qingci or something like that.

Qing Ying couldn't explain the tacit understanding between her and her senior brother to outsiders.

What's more, she always felt that something was neglected by her... There must be something worthy of trust in the senior brother - yes!

Thinking of this, she raised her head and said anxiously: "This is where our opportunity lies!"

Cai Cai: "?"

"Since the devil made an unexpected appearance and deliberately led all kinds of doubts to the senior brother, even if they cooperate, there must be a gap."

Qing Ying asked Caicai: "Do you think the devil is a good guy or a bad guy?"

Cai Cai categorically said: "Bad guy."

Qing Ying asked back: "Then the senior brother has conflicts with the bad guys - it's good news for now, isn't it?"

"...It seems to be the same."

After Qing Ying uttered a reasonable reasoning, she fell into confusion.

What about the logic after that?

Their reasoning is at an impasse due to the lack of clues.

The key to each kind of reasoning falls on the same point - what is the relationship between Xie Qingci and Mozun?

The atmosphere between the two was silent for a long time, and a peaceful voice suddenly sounded behind Qing Ying.

"I am back."

The person who came did not hide his breath, so Qing Ying and Caicai found him immediately.

"Who?"

After seeing the person coming, Qing Ying relaxed her nervous expression.

She was concerned: "Brother? Why did you come back so soon? Where's Su Mu?"

"Here." Xie Qingci waved his sleeve, and released a small figure from the sleeve.

And after the universe in the magical sleeve was released, the figure quickly returned to its normal size.

"Su Mu!" Cai Cai was full of surprises, and immediately stepped forward to support Su Mu, with an extremely excited expression.

Qing Ying looked at Su Mu's appearance, she hadn't seen him for two thousand years, but Su Mu's appearance remained unchanged, he looked handsome and beautiful, but at the moment he was in a coma, his face was pale, his lips were dark, and his condition was extremely bad.

Xie Qingci said softly: "There's no need to be in a hurry, when I brought him back, I already detoxified him, so he can rest in peace for a few days."

Cai Cai's expression was finally relieved a lot.

She was about to arrange for Su Mu to recuperate when she suddenly saw an old man in Chinese clothes rushing over.The old man has white beard and hair, and he has a high-spirited bearing, obviously he has been in a high position for a long time.

"Old Yun?" Caicai called out his name with a tense expression, "Why are you here? Didn't I say that the whole city has been quiet these two days?"

She turned her back on Xie Qingci and winked at Elder Yun.

This person is the patriarch of the Yun clan of Tianxuan clan, who has always participated in various decision-making events in the city.The key to the silence of the whole city this time, Cai Cai also told Yun Lao about it and asked him to cooperate with him.

Everyone knew that she was about to welcome a big shot who didn't like outsiders, so why did Yun Lao still come?

Old Yun's expression was serious, his eyes turned to Xie Qingci, and he saluted rigorously: "I have seen the distinguished guest."

The number of etiquette is just common, not a grand ceremony for an audience.

Seeing Xie Qingci frowned, Qing Ying hurriedly took her senior brother's hand, they hid their figure and aura when they went out, the old man didn't know his identity, so it was understandable to salute like this.

"I can't find you anywhere in the mansion, so I can only come here in person." The old man whispered, "It's a matter of city affairs."

Caicai opened her mouth, intending to speak bluntly, but hesitated for a moment, showing embarrassment.

"It's okay, you can settle the sumu first." Qing Ying said empathetically, "Let's walk around the city first."

Caicai breathed a sigh of relief and thanked: "Okay."

...

After Caicai and others disappeared, only Qing Ying was left around.

Seeing that Xie Qingci was only standing there with her, and seemed to have no intention of leaving, she asked, "Where's the devil? Has the matter been resolved?"

When no one is present, the original cold brows and eyes of the senior brother will soften a lot.

"Yeah." Xie Qingci said calmly, "He was injured by me and has retreated."

"So fast?" Qing Ying was surprised, "How long has it been?"

With all the fights and calculations, it took less than half an hour for Xie Qingci to leave, but the Demon Lord was defeated and fled?

Such loud thunder, but only tiny drops of rain made Qing Ying's reasoning completely untenable.

"This is how the strong fight." Xie Qingci said calmly, "He knows that it is difficult to confront me head-on, so he wants to use some tricks."

Qing Ying couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "What method?"

Xie Qingci looked at her, with peaceful black eyes, she almost thought that all her thoughts were read by him.

He touched Qing Ying's cheek, and the cold fingertips made her shrink back.But Xie Qingci still stuck to it and poked her on the cheek.

Xie Qingci said softly

: "He wants to take my treasure away."

Qing Ying couldn't help laughing in embarrassment, it's been a long time since the senior brother said this... well, it's a nasty word, it made her feel a little uncomfortable at first, but she missed it very much.

The haze in Qing Ying's heart lightened slightly: "What exactly does he want?"

"Abducting Su Mu is a fake, but planning to capture you is true." Xie Qingci said, "But his strength is limited, so it is difficult to plan."

Qing Ying said coldly: "So that's how it is...I think you are in a good mood, brother?"

At this moment, Xie Qingci's emotional changes made her very sensitive.

Xie Qingci nodded in affirmation.

But he obviously didn't mean to explain in detail: "Didn't you want to see the current situation of Tiansheng City when you came here?"

"Yeah!" Qing Ying regained her spirits, "Is the matter settled now?"

Xie Qingci nodded.

"Then let's go to the city to have a look, just to patrol, to see if there are any fallen cultivators," Qing Ying said, "The sumu is poisoned, and the focus of Caicai has to be given to him. We should help."

Having made up their minds in this way, the two randomly chose the east direction, and used this as a starting point to tour the whole city.

Due to the attack of the Fallen Cultivation, the whole city is under martial law, so there are few pedestrians on the road, and the doors of every house are closed, making it look very bleak, but the foundation is there, just looking at the overall layout, you can also feel the strength and prosperity of Tianyi today.

"Tianxuan has changed so much." Qing Ying couldn't help but sigh, "In my impression, it was still a small village in the end."

It was that she and Caicai could walk from the beginning of the village to the end of the village in less than half an hour.

"You slept a long time."

Hearing this sentence, Qing Ying couldn't bear it anymore.

Facing her senior brother, she couldn't hold back her words, and wanted to get answers to any misunderstandings and questions on the spot.

Even though the atmosphere was good at the moment, even though she knew that asking these questions would lead to unpredictable consequences... But now she just wanted a result.

"Brother, I have some questions."

Xie Qingci said calmly, "Say."

Qing Ying heard her heart beating faster, and the sound was like a drum beating.

"Senior brother, why has that demon still not been wiped out after 1,500 years?" She said with a brisk tone, talking and laughing, "After all, I feel that senior brother is the strongest in the world.Come to think of it, there are others who can compete with you."

Xie Qingci said in a calm manner: "The coordination of yin and yang is the way of heaven."

Qing Ying wondered: "What?"

"If there is nothing in this world that can restrain the expansion of monks, what do you think the world will be like?"

Qing Ying wanted to say that the world is peaceful, but judging from Xie Qingci's expression, the standard answer is obviously not this.

"The world will be chaotic."

Xie Qingci went on to say: "It's not just that you can do evil by falling into cultivation, you should know about this."

She silently nodded, and made a rough guess about Xie Qingci's next point of view.

"And I have a promise with you, not to fall into the name of purity."

"That's why you allow the devil to exist...?"

Xie Qingci's voice was cold and cold: "If he killed too much, he will be punished by heaven."

So it turned out that this was the brother's thought change that year, and the "tacit understanding" between him and the devil.The senior brother just used that devil as an existence to cut off the carrion in the cultivation world.

Qing Ying immediately relaxed a lot.

Knowing that Xie Qingci didn't have a problem of principle, she spoke a lot more easily. Now the problem is only about the sudden change in senior brother's temperament, and why the Demon Lord suddenly came out like this.

"He can't beat you, why bother?"

"He was defeated head-on, so he could only plot conspiracy."

Regarding Qingying's question, Xie Qingci answered all questions and was very patient. Qing Ying thought about it and found that she really had nothing to ask.

Now the only unspeakable mystery left is how the senior brother's temperament can return to the past.

The current senior brother is calm and generous, with a sense of majesty of a superior, and always considers issues at a height that is beyond her reach... except that unlike senior brother, she has a sense of distance.

She even reacted lightly when she wanted to post on her brother!Is this reasonable?!Since the reunion, she wanted to have sex with her senior brother, but the senior brother didn't want to be shy, he just wanted to hold her to practice.

……I see!

Qing Ying's heart suddenly brightened. In the final analysis, he felt that the source of the brother's ailment was here.

The senior brother is considerate to her, but strict and observant, self-control and abstinence from coughing, is simply a model of a living saint, which made her not to mention that her self-esteem was frustrated, but she was also very hit, and she always cared about it.

But this matter is different from the Demon Lord's matter, her concern is a bit out of the question, if the brother is really wholeheartedly devoted to the Tao, why don't you just want to stick to it?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for senior brother if she said it outright, making both of them look bad?

Tangled in her heart, Qing Ying just felt that even the scenery of Tiansheng City was nothing to see.

She was depressed, but Xie Qingci remembered her previous words and asked, "Do you want to stay in Tianxuan for a while?"

"Okay, go back later and ask Caicai to see how she arranges it."

Qing Ying estimated that Caicai would probably agree. Su Mu was injured, and Tiansheng City was weak recently. It would be of great help to them to have the two of them assist them during the transition period.

"Go back!"

Qing Ying decided not to be entangled in the contradiction between astringent and not shy, took Xie Qingci's hand, and walked back with a smile.

As long as the senior is still that senior, nothing else is a problem.

Isn't it self-made cultivation, she can do it too!

And Xie Qingci's eyes fell on the hands held together by the two of them, and he also smiled.

...

Cai Caiguo was really happy to learn that the two were planning to live in Tiansheng City for a period of time.And taking the opportunity to discuss the accommodation issue with Qing Ying privately, she was concerned about the most critical issue.

"Your matter, has the result?"

"how do you know?"

"It's clear from your expression." Cai Cai shook her head, "Everything you think is clearly written on your face."

Qing Ying touched her face: "It's about the same, senior brother has no exaggerated connection with that Demon Lord."

She probably shared Xie Qingci's point of view with Caicai.

"I see."

Cai Cai nodded, without expressing any opinion.

Just as Qing Ying was feeling strange, a guess suddenly appeared in her mind, Cai Cai seemed to think that she was not qualified to speak to Xie Qingci, let alone - she had already chosen to trust her senior brother.

Cai Cai smiled and said, "It seems that you already have the answer."

Feeling her painstaking efforts, Qing Ying couldn't help but be moved: "Thank you."

"It's okay, you're sure it's correct, so I can rest assured." Caicai said with a smile, "You can live in the city with peace of mind during this period, and contact me in time if you have any questions."

"it is good."

"Also, Mr. Yun told me that the Tianxuan formation itself also needs to be protected and adjusted." Caicai invited, "You are in the stage of transforming gods, can you help me?"

"Of course you can, but you should understand my true level in this stage of transformation, right?"

"It's enough to cultivate enough, and I will lead the formation."

After chatting with Qing Ying for a few more words, Caicai, who was busy with city affairs, left first, just saying what she needed.

It is said that Qing Ying and Qing Ying were arranged in the Tianyun Building of the City Lord's Mansion. It is the tallest building in the city and has always been used only for sacrifices. Now it is appropriate to receive Qing Ying and his wife.

When she returned to her room, Xie Qingci was practicing outside with her eyes closed.It is said that it is to perceive the spirit of Xi Qi, and at the same time to track down the remnants of the Fallen Cultivator.

Enterprising, don't bother.

Qing Ying sighed in her heart, and decided to go to bed and play Tianshuling, and when she got tired of playing, she would wash and rest.

Xie Qingci's practice was very focused and assiduous - after talking with her, he redoubled his efforts, and he didn't bring a perfunctory boudoir at all. He didn't come back until Qing Ying fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, when Qing Ying fell into a drowsy sleep, she suddenly felt a slight sinking on the side of the bed beside her.

"finally came back."

She stretched out her hand in a daze, and hugged that cold body.

"Don't be so late next time."
