Feng Ci thinks he understands.
Before his identity was revealed, Pei Qianyue had a bad attitude every time he mentioned him. Feng Ci once thought that Pei Qianyue probably hated him, and even doubted Pei Qianyue's position for this reason.
But at this time, he gradually realized that his little snake was indeed annoyed at him, but if Pei Qianyue didn't care about him at all, how could he be annoyed
In the final analysis, it was because he abandoned him back then and was having trouble with him.
Otherwise why
Feng Ci had seen such a person in the previous world he went to.
In the orphanage where he stayed briefly, there were many such children. Abandoned by her parents since she was a child, she has developed a very weird temperament, withdrawn, indifferent, insecure, and wants to be a monster when she has nothing to do to attract the attention of others.
The same is true for Pei Qianyueban.
But his temperament is weirder than what Feng Ci has seen before, he doesn't torment others, he only torments himself.
It can be considered a difficult type in Zuo Jing.
Thinking of this, Feng Ci was not annoyed by his offense, and comforted him: "I know, I shouldn't have left you, so you are angry with me, and I apologize to you."
Pei Qianyue just smiled: "Three thousand years, has the master passed away with such a light apology?"
It's hard to unravel this.
Feng Ci didn't expect the little black snake to become an adult, let alone wait for him for such a long time. Feng Ci thinks that she has given the little snake a stable enough environment to spend her life, so she has no burden.
The time flow rate of each small world in Sumeru World is different. When he remembered the little black snake, hundreds of years had passed in this world. If it was an ordinary little snake, it would have died long ago.
So he didn't take this matter to heart.
After all, he didn't treat the little snake beside him equally at that time.
But what about treating him as an equal? He even abandoned his Taoist friend who fought side by side with him back then, so why did he stay for a little snake that had only been raised for half a year
But from Pei Qianyue's standpoint, Feng Ci should indeed feel guilty.
Feng Ci coaxed in a low voice: "I am sorry for you, I can agree to any compensation you want... I will help you heal your eyes, okay?"
"No." Pei Qianyue refused flatly.
Feng Ci thought he was very patient: "Then what do you want—"
Before he finished speaking, a cold touch suddenly came from his ear.
Feng Ci didn't even realize what it was at first, his spine went numb, and he realized it later.
Pei Qianyue licked his earlobe lightly.
This flirting with Feng Ci was dangerous, and he subconsciously wanted to push him away, but Pei Qianyue seemed to have been prepared, and the hand that restrained Feng Ci even used some spiritual power to press his hands to his side.
Feng Ci's side face turned red quickly, but she was not ashamed, but angry.
"Let go." Feng Ci was really annoyed.
Pei Qianyue ignored him, and continued: "I'm really angry with you, but it's not because of leaving at the beginning... As I said, I hate being cheated the most."
Feng Ci was taken aback.
"Since we met at Lingwu Mountain, have you told me half the truth?" Pei Qianyue said, "During this period of time, I have given you a lot of opportunities to test you so many times, but you have never spoken to me. I've spoken. If you don't do something, are you waiting for you to leave without saying goodbye?"
So he desperately wants to prove Feng Ci's identity, and even more wants to know whether the other party really cares about him.
It just so happened that those idiots from Xianmeng sent a plane.
"Master saved me again, I'm very happy." Pei Qianyue said softly, her voice sounded extremely cheerful, "This is the meaning."
Feng Ci closed: "You are really crazy."
"For the master, it's worth it. By the way, did the master just ask me what compensation I want?" Pei Qianyue whispered in his ear, word by word, in a slow and hoarse voice, "I want... you."
Feng Ci suddenly opened.
The room was very quiet, as if even the flow of air had stopped. Feng Ci heard the other party's slightly rapid breathing in his ear, and turned his head to look over, but his eyes were fixed.
"Pei Qianyue." Feng Ci frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Let go."
The man on top of him, without knowing when, black snake scales gradually appeared on his face, and the red mark on his eyebrows was bright red. He finally opened it, and a ray of red light flashed in those clear eyes.
Bewitched again.
The man didn't seem to be aware of his strangeness, he held Feng Ci's wrist tightly with both hands and remained motionless.
In the next second, a stronger force erupted from the person in his arms.
The positions of the two were switched instantly.
Pei Qianyue opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Feng Ci ignored it. He lowered his head and put his forehead against the opponent's forehead.
"Don't move...it's okay, don't move..." Feng Ci said reassuringly, his hands that easily broke free from the restraint moved up along the side of the other person's face, and lightly pressed his fingertips on the temples.
Where Xu Lingli touched through the skin, it submerged into Pei Qianyue's sea of consciousness like a warm current.
It was not the first time that Feng Ci calmed down the sea of consciousness for him, and this time it was discovered early that the devil's heart had not yet completely caused waves in the depths of the sea of consciousness. Fengci was very familiar with it, and quickly calmed down the restless sea of consciousness.
After a while, the red light in Pei Qianyue's eyes disappeared, and the snake scales on his face also gradually faded.
Feng Ci let go of him and got up: "Are you all right?"
"I just..."
Pei Qianyue's expression was a little dazed, Feng Ci interrupted before he could finish, "Your sea of consciousness is unstable, I'll help you calm down regularly in the future, it's fine."
He didn't dare to let Pei Qianyue continue the previous topic.
Although I don't know the reason for Pei Qianyue's obsession, there is no doubt that the topic just now stimulated this person's demon heart.
If so, then don't mention it.
Pei Qianyue is not completely enchanted now, but if the devil's heart continues to fluctuate like this, and it comes a few times, I'm afraid even Feng Ci will not be so easy to control. So, don't continue to stimulate him until you completely pull out the devil's heart for him.
Don't bother with him for the time being.
As for Pei Qianyue's offense just now... Ordinary people's temperaments change after being possessed by demons, not to mention that Pei Qianyue's temperament is unstable, and it is possible to show it in any form.
Although... it's indeed a bit weird.
Feng Ci looked at the people below him with complicated emotions.
Magic is really not a good thing.
After three thousand years, Patriarch Qianqiu firmly came to this conclusion.
***
In order not to give Pei Qianyue the opportunity to continue the topic just now, and to be provoked into a demon, Feng Ci directly kicked him out of the room with the reason that "the owner of the city should have important things to deal with, don't waste time chatting here" .
But his heart softened in the inexplicable aggrieved expression of his own Xiaohei, and he agreed to accompany him to Linxiantai to handle affairs.
Xiao Que was probably the happiest of this decision.
The poor young man was left by his city lord to sit in Linxiantai for three days, and he lost a lot of weight. If it wasn't for his usual self-restraint and prudence in dealing with others, Feng Ci even felt that he would cry on the spot.
Feng Ci couldn't see it, and waved him off to go back to rest, and let him do other small things.
In the past few days when Pei Qianyue dumped the stall, there was a backlog of small affairs. But he didn't deal with the chores in the faction, but first picked a messenger flying kite and sent the news to Lingxiaomen.
—According to Feng Ci's suggestion, inform them that the elder Chengchao is dead, and ask the head of Lingxiaomen to lead them in person.
Immediately afterwards, he summoned someone.
Wen Huaiyu.
Feng Ci was always surprised that Qing Jingzong participated in this rebellion, and was even one of the masterminds. Although it was only a one-sided relationship in Qingjing Sect that day, Feng Ci had a good impression of Wen Huaiyu.
In the final analysis, it was this person's piano sound that was elegant and flawless, revealing a magnanimity.
Feng Ci never imagined that he also participated in the rebellion.
While waiting for Wen Huaiyu's arrival, Feng Ci told Pei Qianyue his thoughts.
"Frank? He is indeed frank." When he said this, Pei Qianyue was pouring tea for Feng Ci. He sat at the main seat in the hall, and Feng Ci moved a low stool to sit by the table, looking through the backlog of documents in Langfeng City.
Originally, Pei Qianyue wanted Feng Ci to take the lead, but Feng Ci didn't want to remember that after the war that year, everything was waiting for him to decide, and he thought that he was just listening to him Feel more at ease.
As for the documents, Pei Qianyue was inconvenient, and Feng Ci didn't want to listen to the reading device that recorded Yu Chichu's voice, so he had to reluctantly help him read.
Hearing Pei Qianyue's evaluation of Wen Huaiyu, Feng Ci raised his head from the document and asked curiously: "He colluded with Lingxiaomen to rebel, do you think he is frank?"
Pei Qianyue said calmly: "Wen Huaiyu has never concealed his ambition since the day he entered the cultivation world."
Wen Huaiyu's original surname was Qin, and he entered the world of comprehension through the selection of the Xianmeng.
He was the best rooted among the group of new disciples back then, first of all, he entered Langfeng City.
Wen Huaiyu, who was only in his teens, had only been in Langfeng City for one year, and he had jumped from an ordinary inner disciple to a disciple serving the elders of the faction. Then, he took advantage of the opportunity of the old head of the Qingjing Sect bringing his daughter to visit Langfeng City, and got acquainted with the only daughter of the old head of the Qingjing Sect.
"I'm afraid he has been eyeing her girl for a long time." Feng Ci couldn't figure it out when he said this, "Wait, in this case, why didn't he choose Qingjing sect from the beginning?"
With Wen Huaiyu's roots, if he indicated that he wanted to go to the Qingjing sect during the selection, the Qingjing sect should not want him.
If you want to enter the Qingjing sect from the very beginning, you don't need to spend so much effort.
Pei Qianyue was silent for a moment, and asked, "Do you think everyone is like you, daring to reject the elders of Xianmeng on that occasion?"
Feng Ci: "... That's right."
Feng Ci: "You continue."
"The reporter said that at the beginning, Wen Huaiyu's first choice should indeed be Langfeng City." Pei Qianyue said, "After all, Langfeng City is a faction in the world and the leader of the Immortal League. No one will refuse. But after entering, He found out that things were not what he thought."
"...Langfeng City is good, but as long as I'm around, he will never have a chance to succeed."
Feng Ci was surprised: "His ambition..."
"His ambition has always been only one."
"The position of the lord of the Immortal Alliance."
Wen Huaiyu was only ten years old back then, yet he had such ambitions.
Feng Ci understood: "He felt that the road to Langfeng City was not feasible, so he decided to change the road and chose Qingjingzong."
Pei Qianyue nodded: "The only daughter of the old Patriarch of the Qingjing Sect is arrogant and indulgent, and she soon developed a deep-rooted affection for Wen Huaiyu, and directly came to find someone for me without telling her father."
Feng Ci let out a "hiss" and praised: "That girl is so courageous."
"Indeed." Pei Qianyue smiled and said, "I appreciate her too."
Feng Ci: "So you gave her the man?"
Pei Qianyue said indifferently: "I imprisoned her on the grounds that she was disrespectful to the leader of the Immortal League."
Feng Ci: "..."
As expected of you.
"Stop dawdling, what next?" Feng Ci urged him.
It was not Pei Qianyue who answered him.
A gentle voice sounded outside the door: "Then, I naturally came here to ask the city lord in every possible way, hoping that he would let Yan'er live."
The door of the hall was pushed open, and Wen Huaiyu arrived.
The young man had been imprisoned in the dungeon for several days. He looked haggard, but he was still meticulous in his clothes and hair accessories. A thick iron chain was still tied around his neck, and there was a clear sound from the iron chain when he moved.
Wen Huaiyu went to the hall, and bowed to the two people in front of the hall: "I have seen the Lord Pei, I have seen... the Holy One."
He was also on Linxian Terrace that day, so naturally he already knew the identity of Feng Ci.
Feng Ci waved his hand: "Sect Master Wen, don't call me like that, if outsiders hear it, the blood deed Gu in your body will explode."
Wen Huaiyu nodded: "Huaiyu understands."
Feng Ci has been completely aroused by Wen Huaiyu's story, he said: "Let's talk about it later, let's finish the story first, what happened after that?"
Pei Qianyue said: "To show his sincerity, he personally ruined his cultivation and smashed the sword he carried with him under my Immortal Terrace."
Feng Ci was taken aback.
It is an extremely dangerous act for a monk to abolish his cultivation. If he is not careful, he will hurt his bones, and in more serious cases, he may even die.
Even if one builds a foundation to practice again in the future, the difficulty of practice will be far more than before.
What's more, practice is most about timing, and some people haven't had the opportunity yet, but they haven't broken through for more than ten or twenty years. In case Pei Qianyue refused to give in, and in case Wen Huaiyu's cultivation did not go well, even if he married the old suzerain's daughter, the Qingjing sect would not allow such a person to be the suzerain.
For Wen Huaiyu to do this, it is no different from a big gamble.
Just because of his ambition
Feng Ci was in a complicated mood, and couldn't help looking at Pei Qianyue.
He finally knew why Pei Qianyue still treated Wen Huaiyu well when he knew Wen Huaiyu was rebellious.
It's not that he feels frank, it's just that Wen Huaiyu is also a lunatic.
A lunatic and a lunatic have similar tastes.
Pei Qianyue continued: "The old Patriarch of the Qingjing Sect believes that since this son has done this for his daughter, he can be entrusted to him. Since they are all willing to facilitate this marriage, I naturally have no reason to stop it. What's more... I also very much I'm curious, what will happen to the Qingjing sect if it falls into the hands of this kind of person."
It turns out he was right.
After Wen Huaiyu took over as suzerain, he developed the sect and made friends with dignitaries. Until today, the prestige of Qingjing sect among the people has even surpassed that of Langfeng City and Wange.
But Feng Ci felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, Wen Huaiyu was only getting close to the suzerain's daughter for profit at first.
This is unfair to the woman.
Seeming to know what he was thinking, Wen Huaiyu said frankly: "My lord, don't get me wrong. Although I did have other intentions when I was close to Yan'er, the world can learn from my love for Yan'er. Moreover, she is in Shanglangfeng City. He already knew this before. As for the father-in-law, he may not understand."
Feng Ci came to a sudden.
Indeed, the Qingjing sect is the only lineage of the aristocratic family among the six sects. There is no rule in the world of comprehension that women cannot be suzerains, but in this era, the head of some sects' fairy sects is still dominated by men.
The old suzerain of the Qingjing sect has only one daughter, so it is not uncommon for someone to approach his daughter for the position of suzerain.
But even if he knew, he still accepted Wen Huaiyu as his son-in-law.
There is probably something inside that Feng Ci doesn't know about.
But Feng Ci no longer wanted to go into details.
He just has emotion.
In this cultivation world, there really isn't a single normal person.
***
After finishing the story, Pei Qianyue got to the point: "Do you know why I came here for you?"
Wen Huaiyu seemed to have expected him to ask this question, and replied calmly: "Because the city lord uses me."
Pei Qianyue: "So, you have to prove to me that you are useful."
Wen Huaiyu said: "Huaiyu should try her best."
Feng Ci: "..."
Are you two madmen playing charades here
But it's not completely unclear, the main reason is that Pei Qianyue's posture is a little familiar - especially like him three thousand years ago.
Feng Ci made a guess in his heart, and saw Pei Qianyue lift his hand, and the iron chain around Wen Huaiyu's neck fell off in response.
Afterwards, he said indifferently: "The follow-up disposal of those sects in the dungeon will be entrusted to you, and the disasters you left in the Xianmeng when you rebelled will also be entrusted to you."
"This seat will give you half a month. After half a month, if there is a fairy sect in the fairy alliance, and a disciple has rebellion, this seat will ask Wen Yan to come and collect your corpse in person."
Wen Huaiyu bowed and saluted: "Huaiyu understands."
Pei Qianyue sent Wen Huaiyu back, but Feng Ci's expression was indescribable.
Sure enough, isn't Pei Qianyue's messy appearance exactly the same as he was back then
There were only two of them left in the hall, Pei Qianyue took the stack of documents in his hand, and said: "You don't need to look at it, when Xiao Que comes back, just let him handle it."
"..." Feng Ci couldn't help asking, "If you leave this matter to others, what are you going to do?"
Pei Qianyue raised his head slightly, as if hesitating to speak. But he didn't say anything, just asked back: "What is the master planning to do now?"
Feng Ci fell silent.
For the time being, he didn't plan to tell Pei Qianyue the prophecy given by Tiandao.
Do not want to say, do not say.
The so-called foreshadowing is not easy to tell others.
There are no obvious clues to the catastrophe of annihilation, and Feng Ci's investigation has not made much qualitative progress. Speaking of such things rashly at this time can easily affect the development of the incident.
This is the reason why the secrets of heaven cannot be leaked.
Feng Ci thought about it, and chose the most important thing now: "I want to return to my physical body first."
He tilted his head and asked Pei Qianyue, "Where did my body go?"
Before he left, he stored his body in Lingwu Mountain, where no one could touch it except Pei Qianyue.
Where is the physical body now, and why can't he go back? Pei Qianyue is the only clue.
But Pei Qianyue was silent for a long time.
When Feng Ci was about to ask for a long time, he said softly: "So, the master has no clue where the body is now?"
Feng Ci frowned, and a bad premonition vaguely appeared in his heart: "What happened to my physical body?"
Pei Qianyue: "Three hundred years ago, it was stolen."
