Qianlian Peak, Qingshanju.
Lin Cangfeng got straight to the point: "I have read the news you sent back. I have been busy these days and have not had time to ask... Have there been any other developments since then?"
It turned out that before entering the Demon Realm, the two had reported back to the sect what they had seen and heard in the village at the junction of the three realms, but did not explain their subsequent whereabouts.
Therefore, the teachers and leaders all thought that the two brothers were still gathering information near the village. Now that something unexpected happened in the sect, the two had returned for several days, but had not seen the Sect Leader, let alone the Master, and therefore had not reported back.
This simple question stumped Chu Danfeng.
Of course he had seen and heard things. He had entered the demon world, encountered the Dian Yang Festival, and saw a cultivator who was humiliated in broad daylight with his face covered. He had seen a fellow disciple who was naked in a cave... But Chu Danfeng didn't have the face to say it out loud - how should he explain the remaining ten days? Should he tell his teachers that he was trapped in a small world in a cave and was raped for ten days? And Hua Tingxuan, once he found out about the outside,
Chu Danfeng hesitated, but Hua Tingxuan was frank and generous: "To reply to the master, we disciples have failed to live up to your trust. We stayed for a few more days, but still did not find out more useful information."
Lin Cangfeng showed a little disappointment and sighed, "Never mind, it's already very rare to find out these things, you guys can leave."
Chu Danfeng couldn't help but blurt out: "Master Master!"
Lin Cangfeng: "Anything else?"
Chu Danfeng opened his mouth, but still couldn't come up with the right words. In the end, he could only ask hesitantly: "Many disciples have disappeared in the sect. Could it be that they were killed by the demons..."
Lin Cangfeng looked solemn: "There are indeed demons in the vicinity, and they appeared long ago when we set out to participate in the sect competition. Now it seems that it is not only your little disciple surnamed Fang from Lixu Peak who has fallen into the clutches of the demons... But, we have no evidence yet."
"You guys go, and don't go out casually recently. It's safest to stay in the Shuangji Sect." Lin Cangfeng rubbed his eyebrows, and his already thin face looked even paler and haggard.
Chu Danfeng came out of Qingshanju, but did not leave immediately. He wandered on the back peak, hesitant to speak.
Hua Tingxuan was the worm in his stomach. Seeing this, he understood and advised: "Little Senior Brother, don't blame yourself. The demons have already known about the evil deeds, but they lack evidence. We are disciples of the Shuangji Sect and cannot serve as witnesses. Telling others about what we saw and heard in the demon world will only cause trouble to the teachers and elders."
Yes.
Chu Danfeng said ashamedly: "That makes sense. You are still thoughtful."
Hua Tingxuan nodded deeply, but actually he was thinking: I just don't want to embarrass you.
He never cared about any sect or any teacher.
At the same time, inside Qingshanju.
Meng Cangyu: "At this point, it seems that this matter can no longer be concealed. Brother, why don't we confess to the world and apologize—"
"What are you apologizing for?! Who are you apologizing to?" Lin Cangfeng was so excited that his pale cheekbones flushed, and he looked even more stern. "I should have known that I shouldn't have told you this!"
Meng Cangyu: "Brother..."
Lin Cangfeng said decisively: "When the master passed away, he repeatedly told me to carry forward the sect, but now... This matter must be kept secret. Don't leave Lixu Peak recently. Come with me to Wanjian Peak tonight... Cangyu, among so many brothers and sisters, I only trust you."
"Xuan'er?" Chu Danfeng waved his hand in front of Hua Tingxuan, "What are you staring at?"
Hua Tingxuan suddenly came back to his senses, quietly retracted his consciousness, ended his eavesdropping, and said with a smile: "Nothing, Junior Brother, let's go down the mountain now."
There was no conversation along the way. Now the entire Shuangji Sect was under martial law. Even the second senior sister who always loved traveling was in seclusion in her bamboo house. Chu Danfeng had nothing to do. He felt a little uneasy because of the mention of what he had seen in the demon world. He wanted to spend some time with his junior brother, but he was gone.
Hua Tingxuan was actually just outside the bamboo house, and he had openly set up a barrier - thanks to Ji Xiao, Hua Tingxuan's cultivation was fully restored after the Heart Demon Seal was released. Not to mention Li Xufeng, he could even set up a barrier right under Lin Cangfeng's nose and it wouldn't be discovered - and he summoned Ghost Yue Lao.
Ghost Yue Lao stood in front respectfully, his black hood covering most of his face, revealing a human chin beard and a pair of jackal claws.
He raised his claws and said, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
Hua Tingxuan: "Can you still monitor Wanjian Peak?"
Gui Yue Lao stroked his beard and said proudly, "I have been guarding the mountain for nearly a thousand years. I am familiar with every plant and tree on it. I have some acquaintance with the spiritual plants and creatures there. I can find out everything clearly without having to be there. What does your majesty want to know?"
Hua Tingxuan: "Let's see what my head master wants to do tonight."
Ghost Yue Lao: "I obey your orders."
Hua Tingxuan said quietly, "Your evil deeds will probably be made public. Shuangji Sect has always regarded itself as a 'famous and upright sect'. Once such a dirty thing is exposed, its thousand-year reputation will be ruined."
Gui Yue Lao rolled his eyes and asked shrewdly, "Do you need my help to keep it secret?"
Hua Tingxuan said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you all this? Don't do unnecessary things."
As he said, the rise and fall of the sect has nothing to do with him. He didn't care about it in his previous life, and he cares even less in this life. The only person he wants to hold on to is his junior brother.
Thinking of this, Hua Tingxuan couldn't help but have a headache. He rubbed his eyebrows, and a line like ink slowly crawled out and was forcibly suppressed.
"Your Majesty, the demon mark in your heart has become more serious." Gui Yue Lao couldn't help but say.
"It's okay." Hua Tingxuan waved his hand angrily and removed the barrier.
Without the protection of the barrier, Ghost Yue Lao quickly hid his body and complained silently, "Your Excellency really doesn't listen to advice. When he insisted on dragging me into the purification pool, I reminded him that we should learn to live with the inner demon instead of forcibly eradicating it. But now, the inner demon seal has been unlocked again, and its effectiveness has doubled. I'm afraid his possessiveness of Brother Chu will be even stronger. He can't stand the slightest provocation. Sigh."
After Hua Tingxuan removed the barrier, his face changed immediately. His irritability and impatience all disappeared, leaving only a gentle smile, and he turned back into the obedient little lamb.
"My junior brother likes a well-behaved Taoist partner, I can't let him hate her." Hua Tingxuan thought.
When he pushed open the door of the bamboo house, he saw Chu Danfeng holding a nine-link chain, trying to untie it with a tangled look on his face. His eyebrows were almost wrinkled into a "川" shape, and his lips were unconsciously pouted, with a moist lip color.
The smile on Hua Tingxuan's face suddenly became more sincere: "Are you playing so seriously?"
Chu Danfeng heard the voice and reflexively picked up his idol bag. He coughed lightly, took out the peach blossom fan from somewhere, and waved it in front of his chest. "Are you back? There's nothing to do, just killing time."
Hua Tingxuan loved his adorable inconsistency, or rather, he thought whatever his little senior brother did was adorable. Maybe if Chu Danfeng killed people or set fires, Hua Tingxuan would also praise him by saying "the fire set by my Danfeng is exceptionally brilliant".
"Since there is nothing to do, why not do something interesting." Hua Tingxuan moved closer and stuck to Chu Danfeng, his hands already dishonestly lifting the hem of his clothes.
Chu Danfeng's face turned red: "The door is not yet-"
Before he could finish his words, the small door of the bamboo house closed and locked automatically with a click.
Chu Danfeng: “…” Okay, we have a tacit understanding.
What's even more outrageous is that after more than ten days of "practice" day and night, this guy has become extremely skilled in stimulating the cauldron body. He doesn't even need the help of external objects. Just with a pair of dexterous hands, he can make people blush and their hearts beat fast.
Chu Danfeng's weak body erupted as expected, and his voice softened: "You, this, the □□, you should wait until night."
Hua Tingxuan stripped off his outer robe with one hand and pressed his whole body on him, "So what if it's during the day? No one will disturb us."
"Even if someone..." He curved his eyes and kissed him on the lips, "That would be a good opportunity to let them know. We have already confessed everything to our master, but he kept the news a secret. Our brothers and sisters still don't know about us."
Chu Danfeng couldn't struggle anymore, so he simply stopped struggling and let him toss around. He just panted and said, "It's a turbulent time for our sect right now. Our master and the head master... ah, don't touch there... are discussing important matters. I heard that he hasn't been back to Lixu Peak for a long time. How can he have time to take care of our affairs?"
Hua Tingxuan didn't care, stripped himself clean, lowered the bed curtain, and murmured: "Master naturally has important things to do, and we disciples can't sit idle."
"Let Xuan'er serve you."
Chu Danfeng was also aroused and ready to accept his "service". However, before the foreplay was over, he felt a piercing pain in his chest and his face immediately lost all color.
Hua Tingxuan immediately did not dare to continue, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"
Chu Danfeng was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. Hua Tingxuan hurriedly took his pulse and probed into his spiritual power. His face gradually became solemn, but before the spiritual power could carefully circulate in his body for a cycle, the junior brother suddenly disappeared.
Instead, there was a small ball of fur the size of a palm, with beautiful aqua blue feathers all over its body, except for a tuft of red hair on the top of its head.
Chu Danfeng was also a little stunned. He shook his tail feathers, jumped up from the bed nimbly, slowly raised the hair on his head, and tilted his little round head: "Chirp?!"
—It doesn’t hurt anymore?!
Chu Danfeng, who turned back into a bird, was full of life, but Hua Tingxuan was still worried and prepared to take his little senior brother to find Lin Cangfeng again. However, the head master had announced to the public that he was in seclusion, and no one could set foot into the Qianlian Back Peak without his call.
Just when Hua Tingxuan was about to break into Qingshanju, Chu Danfeng changed back without warning. It was midnight when he turned back into human form. The young senior brother lay naked on him to wake him up. In order to prove that he was alive and well and dissuade Hua Tingxuan from taking him to disturb the head master, Chu Danfeng took the initiative to kiss him and added fuel to the fire, which led to the two of them doing things that were not allowed in Jinjiang that night.
In short, apart from that sudden heart palpitation, Chu Danfeng never had any other problems with his body. That piercing pain seemed to be just an accident, and the martial law and closure of the mountain by the Bipolar Sect lasted for more than a month.
Until this day, several major sects of cultivation, led by Chunyang Island, came to visit. They were numerous and powerful, and their intentions were not good.
