On the top of Fufeng Mountain, the moon is bright in the sky and the Milky Way is shining brightly.
The moonlight illuminates the courtyard on the top of the mountain, making it look as bright as snow. Insects are chirping and the place is peaceful and tranquil.
"The mountain master is in a bad mood today. Let's patrol farther away and don't disturb the mountain master's peace."
"Whenever the mountain master is in a bad mood, he locks himself up here for several days. Sigh..."
The two feathered guards flapped their wings, trying their best not to make any sound, and quietly moved away from the courtyard on the top of the mountain to wait in a farther place.
The bushes behind the yard rustled and two gusts of wind blew into the yard.
"Strange, the guards and protection here are ridiculously weak. It was too easy for us to sneak in."
Jiang Yuebai leaned against the courtyard wall and looked around, feeling uneasy.
Xie Jingshan transmitted his voice, "This opportunity cannot be missed. I just need to meet him and ask him a few questions."
Jiang Yuebai thought for a moment and said, "You go in and find him yourself. I'll be on guard outside. It will take at most half an hour."
"good!"
Xie Jingshan slipped into the front yard and saw the lights flickering in the main hall. A thin figure was reflected in the window. He took a breath and opened the back window and jumped in.
The person sitting at the desk turned around after hearing the noise. Xie Jingshan removed the magic talisman and gradually restored his original appearance. When their eyes met, both of them were speechless.
"You... why are you here?"
A clear female voice like a bird's cry reached his ears, and Xie Jingshan stared in amazement at the girl in the Foundation Establishment Stage in front of him. She had a petite figure, looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, had freckles all over her face, looked childish, and had a pair of sparrow wings behind her.
"Huaixi, how did you become a woman?"
Xie Jingshan couldn't believe it and slowly walked closer.
The little girl stepped back in shock, glancing around, anxious and at a loss, "You, don't come over here, go away."
"I'm here to find you, Huaixi!"
"I, I'm not..."
"Little bird."
A clear male voice came from behind the screen. Xie Jingshan's heart trembled and he turned to look at the screen.
I saw a man like the bright moon and fresh breeze, wearing a black robe with white feather patterns, walking slowly out from behind the screen. He had a natural smile on his face, and facing him was like being bathed in a fresh breeze.
"Long time no see, Brother Jingshan."
Xie Jingshan's heart tightened, and he suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, I was wondering, how did you become a woman? What happened to you last time? You left me and disappeared. They all told me that you were some remnant of the ghost clan, but screw it, I don't believe it."
"I am." Shen Huaixi smiled calmly.
Xie Jingshan's laughter choked and his face became stiff and embarrassed.
"Xiao Que, you go down first."
The girl next to him looked nervous and worried, "But tonight..."
"It's okay, go down."
"yes."
Xiao Que glanced at Xie Jingshan who was wiping his face, bowed and took his leave.
She had seen this man who always followed the mountain master before in the medical tent in Cang Yan Land. She knew that he was a close friend that the mountain master cared about very much, so she recognized him.
"Please ask Master Wangshu to come in as well. It's a cold and windy night."
Xie Jingshan's face condensed, "It seems that you have paid a lot of attention to us over the years."
Shen Huaixi smiled without saying anything, walked straight to the table and sat down, making a gesture to Xie Jingshan to invite him in.

Xie Jingshan looked out the window. Jiang Yuebai shook his head at him to indicate that he would not go in, and his eyes reminded him to be careful.
At this time, Shen Huaixi was also in the early stage of Golden Core cultivation, but his aura gave Xie Jingshan a vague feeling, like a gust of wind, invisible and untouchable, and everything in front of him was an illusion.
"You know I wasn't poisoned by the Forget Worry Pill?"
Xie Jingshan walked up to Shen Huaixi, sat down carelessly, and sniffed. The smell of incense in the room made his nose itchy.
Xie Jingshan snorted and laughed, "So you just wanted to save me that day and make that ghost face believe that I would not reveal your identity?"
"Fufeng Mountain is not very suitable for growing tea, Brother Jingshan, please don't mind."
Xie Jingshan held the teacup, feeling mixed emotions, "How have you been these years?"
Shen Huaixi spread his hands, "What do you think, Brother Jingshan?"
"It looks good." Xie Jingshan drank the tea in one gulp. "It's indeed not tasty. I'll ask Shanhailou to send you a few boxes of good tea from the Central Plains later."
"Brother Jingshan, I have something important to do tonight. Please make your speech short and leave as soon as possible. It will be dangerous for you to stay in the Alien Country."
"Are you the one who robbed Shanhai Tower?" Xie Jingshan asked directly.
Shen Huaixi was silent for a moment. "I didn't give the order, but I know about it. I also know that it was done by people from Tieyu Country, and I didn't stop them."
"Why? Are you planning to declare war on our Shanhai Tower?" Xie Jingshan asked, staring at Shen Huaixi.
Shen Huaixi lowered his eyes, and the smile on his lips gradually became bitter. "For so many years, I have been nothing more than a puppet controlled by others. If Brother Jingshan is still willing to believe in me, please give me some time. Soon, I will make everything over."
"What do you want to do?" Xie Jingshan had a bad feeling.
Shen Huaixi looked up, "Brother Jingshan, do you have anything else to say?"
Xie Jingshan clenched his fist, wishing he could punch away the fake smile on his face.
Shen Huaixi stood up to see the guests off. "It's good that Shanhai Tower has temporarily evacuated. We will move back when the situation stabilizes. I will compensate Shanhai Tower for its previous losses. Brother Jingshan, please give me some time. If there is nothing else, please come back..."
"Do you know that someone around you wants to harm you?"
Xie Jingshan slammed the letter he had received earlier on the table.
Shen Huaixi glanced at him calmly, still smiling, "Brother Jingshan, please go back."
Xie Jingshan slammed the table and stood up. "I came to you on purpose, not to listen to you fooling me here. Regarding the matter of Shanhai Tower, my grandfather must establish his authority in front of the entire Yiren Country. Do you want to wait for him to come and kill you personally?"
"Or do you know that others are taking advantage of you, but you are still willing to be taken advantage of? When they are done taking advantage of you, they will throw you out like garbage and take the blame?"
Shen Huaixi's eyes dimmed, "Brother Jingshan, if you value friendship too much, you will suffer."
"I… "
"Xie Jingshan! Someone is coming, let's go!"
Jiang Yuebai appeared beside Xie Jingshan in a flash, and was about to pull him along to activate the Five Ghosts Moving Technique. This was currently the only method she had to take others with her to escape.
"No one of you can leave tonight!"
Before the Five Ghosts Transfer Technique could be fully activated, a stream of black water suddenly rushed in from the window, rushing straight towards Jiang Yue's white-faced door at lightning speed.
Xie Jingshan's expression froze, and he flashed in front of Jiang Yuebai in one step, holding the sword across his chest, with a green light flashing from the scabbard.
boom!
The huge force shattered the green light, and Xie Jingshan and Jiang Yuebai behind him were both severely shaken away, smashing the screen and falling to the ground.
The black water flow penetrated Xie Jingshan's body in every possible way, bringing with it a paralyzing feeling like thunder and lightning, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart, causing Xie Jingshan to groan in pain.
"Xie Jingshan, how are you?"
Jiang Yuebai got up and dragged Xie Jingshan backwards, away from the lingering black current on the ground.
Xie Jingshan endured the pain and took out a pill and swallowed it, "It's Yin thunder, Guishui thunder."
Jiang Yuebai looked up and found that the whole room was covered by black flow, the doors and windows were sealed, and there was no way to escape.
Shen Huaixi stood there tensely, facing a burly old man with horns on his head and white hair who appeared out of nowhere in front of him.
Black currents gathered and surged under the old man's feet, and the pressure from his peak golden elixir level was chilling enough to make people shudder.
He grinned and looked at Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan.
"My dear disciple, you have used this trick of luring the enemy into a trap very well. I am very happy with this gift."
I should be able to write another chapter... I'll update later...
