After returning to Wuhuimen from the heavenly realm, life returned to peace and normalcy. Just as Qu Weiyin had said, Luo Jinxiao had not mentioned the sword in his hand to anyone. The magic sword indeed looked ordinary, so it had not attracted anyone's attention.
Only Elder Liu saw it once, and his eyes changed slightly, but fortunately he didn't ask anything.
The disciple named Wei Ziran disappeared after that, as if he had never appeared before. Everyone was worried about him for a long time. Some people even said that he died in the heaven. Several elders even sent people to look for him, but to no avail.
Only Luo Jinxiao understood the strangeness. That disciple had clearly disappeared in Wuhui Sect.
Qu Weiyin had not shown up for several days. Luo Jinxiao was worried and asked Lu Fanzhi to ask her master Guijiu. The answer she got was that after returning from the heaven, Master Qu had been practicing in seclusion and might not show up for a while.
Hearing the news, Luo Jinxiao felt relieved but also a little melancholy. She always felt that Qu Weiyin was in seclusion at this time because he had seen her illusion.
Could it be that he really pissed her off like this? Whenever Luo Jinxiao thought of this, he always felt guilty. He was worried that Qu Weiyin had misunderstood something, so he thought about choosing a day to explain it to her and express his apology.
However, it was quite difficult to express his apology to the female devil. Luo Jinxiao thought about it for a long time and found that he had nothing that could serve as a gift. Then, he suddenly had an idea and pulled the Qiongqi who was sleeping soundly nearby over.
"Sweetheart, it's up to you this time." Luo Jinxiao knelt on the ground, stretched out a hand, and tried to shake hands with Qiongqi.
Qiongqi shrank his head and ignored her.
"Just bear with it. The devil girl likes you. Although she looks fierce all the time, she is actually very easy to please. As long as you act coquettishly towards her, she will definitely not be angry anymore." Luo Jinxiao said earnestly, "Although I didn't mean to do that, I feel guilty towards her this time. We righteous people must be upright and must not allow misunderstandings to exist."
Upon hearing this, Qiongqi opened his mouth and showed his fangs.
“Oh, you are not a righteous person, you are a ferocious beast.” Luo Jinxiao touched his face awkwardly, “Help me this time, two cows!”
She held up two fingers.
Qiongqi still bared his teeth.
"Ten heads, no more." Luo Jinxiao gritted his teeth.
Only then did Qiongqi put away his fangs with satisfaction and handed over his claws to indicate the deal.
At the same time, Hanyun Pavilion.
The scent of agarwood was blown away by the wind coming through the window and hidden in the gauze curtain. The white jade was cold and there was a chill in the room.
Qu Weiyin sat upright at the desk with a book in front of her with the pages spread out, letting the wind flip the pages, not knowing which page the book would stop at.
The wind blew away the messy hair on the woman's forehead, and her phoenix eyes stared blankly ahead, quiet and peaceful.
"Hey, you've been in a daze for the entire day. Is that enough?" The sword spirit sat cross-legged opposite her, with a look of impatience on his face.
Qu Weiyin lazily withdrew his gaze and looked at her.
"I feel like you haven't been normal since you came back from heaven. All day long you're either in meditation or sitting here like a stone sculpture, not reading or practicing."
"Are you feeling unwilling because you didn't get the magic sword? This is easy to handle. I will take action and disperse the soul of that yellow-haired girl right now!" The sword spirit was about to stand up, but was slapped on the table by Qu Weiyin.
"Noisy." Qu Weiyin said coldly.
When she took her hand away, the sword spirit swelled up like a balloon again. She fixed her messy hair and said aggrievedly, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why are you so fierce?"
"Honestly, do you really want to protect that yellow-haired girl everywhere? Be careful of raising an ungrateful person. Look at her appearance of respecting the righteous path. If she goes against you in the future, what will you do?"
"And seeing that she was able to obtain the divine sword, it proves that she is a very talented person, but she is just hiding it too well. There are so many strange things about her. Even if you really can't kill her to prevent future troubles, at least stay away from her."
Qu Weiyin listened absentmindedly and flipped the pages of the book in front of her out of boredom.
There were indeed too many strange things. What did the illusion that day foreshadow? And how could the girl's illusion show her appearance in her previous life
She originally gave her some advice, but it was only because they both had extremely yin and extremely yang bodies, and she didn't want her to experience the same pain as herself.
But if such a small amount of kindness would get her into trouble, she would really stay away from her.
As Qu Weiyin was thinking, an illusion of herself appeared in her mind. Her hand shook violently, and a corner of the book, which had been intact, was torn.
She put the pages back in a frustrated manner. Just as the sword spirit was about to say something, the clay pot that was originally placed on the table suddenly broke into two pieces, which scared the sword spirit.
The sword spirit didn't dare to make another sound. Once Qu Weiyin got angry, she would always say something. If she provokes her again, she would be seeking death.
"Someone is coming." Qu Weiyin raised her eyes and signaled the sword spirit to open the door.
The sword spirit resigned itself to its fate and jumped off the table, opened the door, and met the visitor's eyes. It saw Qiongqi flapping its wings, hanging its four legs, and dangling in the air.
The sword spirit blinked and slammed the door shut.
"Who?" Qu Weiyin asked with a frown. The sword spirit shook his head, indicating that there was no one.
As she was shaking her head, Qiongqi flew in through the window, landed steadily on the table, straightened its back and shook its fur.
"Yes..." Qu Weiyin's eyes flickered slightly, but in the end she still couldn't call out Xiao Tiantian's name, "Qiongqi?"
Qiongqi kept Luo Jinxiao's instructions in mind, and without saying a word, he dived into Qu Weiyin's arms and rubbed his big furry head against her. Qu Weiyin usually resisted contact, but now he rarely smiled when facing it.
She smiled beautifully, her phoenix eyes narrowed into two curved lines, her red lips pursed, the sharpness disappeared, replaced by gentleness.
But the smile was only for a moment, and soon she returned to her indifference, raised her eyes to look at the door, and said, "Come in, what are you hiding for?"
Luo Jinxiao then pushed open the door and moved forward with a wry smile. Before she could completely walk into the room, the door slammed shut, almost knocking her away.
"Junior Master, I'm here to visit you." She grinned and strode towards Qu Weiyin, but after meeting her cold gaze, she unconsciously slowed down her pace.
"If you don't practice, wait and see what I can do." Qu Weiyin said, and slowly stroked Qiongqi's fur with her soft hands. It seemed like she was not the same person who smiled just now.
"I was afraid that you would be lonely staying alone, so I asked Xiao Tiantian to come and keep you company." Luo Jinxiao smiled. The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and looked very clear and harmless.
"I've been alone for a long time and don't need anyone to accompany me. You can go now." Qu Weiyin said, putting Qiongqi down and waving goodbye. Seeing this, Luo Jinxiao hurriedly winked at Qiongqi.
Qiongqi obeyed the order, and suddenly rushed into Qu Weiyin's arms with a roar, grabbing her clothes with its claws and refusing to let go. It opened its eyes wide and squeezed out two lines of tears.
This look was enough to melt one's heart. Qu Weiyin was stunned for a moment, sighed, and reached out again to hold it in his arms.
Luo Jinxiao was relieved to see that his plan was successful. He thought to himself that since Xiao Tiantian was so serious about acting, he would go back and give her another cow.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Qu Weiyin said. She raised her eyes, and after meeting Luo Jinxiao's gaze, her heart paused for a moment unnoticeably, and then she looked away indifferently.
"That's right. I want to explain what happened a few days ago. I really have never had any improper thoughts about my junior master-uncle. I swear, if I, Luo Jinxiao, lie, I will be struck by lightning." Luo Jinxiao even swore a poisonous oath. She straightened her body and pointed three fingers to the sky.
At the same time, the weather, which had been fine just now, suddenly became dusky, a blue light flashed at the end of the sky, and a loud thunder rang out.
Luo Jinxiao couldn't help but shrink his neck, turned around, and met Qu Weiyin's meaningful gaze.
She suddenly wanted to die. It was a sunny day just now, how could it suddenly become cloudy? Could it be that he really wanted to make things difficult for her
"No, Junior Master, this was an accident. As long as the thunder doesn't strike my head, it proves that what I said is true..." Luo Jinxiao was interrupted by Qu Weiyin halfway through his words.
"Forget it, no need." Qu Weiyin waved her tender white fingers, and the window that had just been opened closed automatically, blocking out the wind and rain outside.
She continued to caress Qiongqi: "Whatever you think in your heart is your business. It has nothing to do with me. I won't be angry about it."
"Really?" Luo Jinxiao asked.
Qu Weiyin nodded and said, "But you must promise not to reveal a single detail of what you saw in the illusion that day. Otherwise..."
As she spoke, she tapped her fingertips on the table and there was another loud thunder outside.
Luo Jinxiao was startled and quickly stood up and nodded repeatedly.
"Since everything is fine, let's go." Qu Weiyin waved his hand with a cold expression.
Luo Jinxiao thanked him obediently, opened the door, and was drenched in the face by the wind and rain. She quickly wiped the water off her face, turned around and smiled at Qu Weiyin, then flew away on her sword.
Qu Weiyin exhaled, shook her head slightly, and looked helpless. She lowered her eyes to look at the Qiongqi in her arms, not knowing what she was thinking, but in the eyes of the sword spirit, she was obviously in a much happier mood.
"Why did you smile when this yellow-haired girl came?" The sword spirit climbed onto the table, with a puzzled look on his face, "What did you see in the illusion that day?"
"From now on, don't mention this to me again." Qu Weiyin frowned and silenced the sword spirit with just one look.
"Let's not talk about it. Why are you so fierce?" The sword spirit covered his mouth, "You were so angry that your face turned red."
Qu Weiyin couldn't bear it any longer and covered her cheek with her sleeve. She raised her free hand and the Crescent Moon and Star Sword on the rack rose into the air. The sword spirit screamed a few times and was forced to return to the sword.
The next day, Luo Jinxiao got up early again and started practicing new skills in the courtyard at dawn. The skills were taught by Elder Liu when he just returned to Wuhui Sect a few days ago.
According to Elder Liu, this was his unique secret book, a sure-kill technique. He originally didn't want to hand it over so early, but after what happened last time, he felt that if he didn't pass on the secret book, Luo Jinxiao's luck might lead to his death one day, and he would never have the chance to learn it again.
Although the words were a bit harsh, the technique was indeed a good one, so Luo Jinxiao gladly accepted it.
Now she is still practicing the first level, but in just a few days, she has already learned it almost perfectly.
The morning light gradually brightened, and the sky seemed to be dripped with a layer of golden red ink, spreading along the wisps of clouds, and soon covering half of the sky. The morning sun made people feel warm, as if covered with a blanket.
Luo Jinxiao stretched comfortably and went to Wuhui Palace to find Lu Fanzhi. It was worthy of being a palace for cultivators. In just a few days, it was restored to its original state.
"Why are you here so early?" Lu Fanzhi yawned as he walked into the room. There were not many people around at this time, only a few disciples, who were gathered in a group chatting.
"Since I have nothing to do, I came early. Which teacher is giving the class today?" Luo Jinxiao asked.
"It seems to be Elder He."
Luo Jinxiao just nodded, and a yellow-shirted fellow disciple who was unfamiliar to her appeared beside her. The disciple looked her up and down and said, "You are Luo Jinxiao?"
"Yes." Luo Jinxiao looked at him in surprise, then looked at Lu Fanzhi and asked, "What's the matter, Senior Brother?"
"Elder He is looking for you and says he has something important to tell you. He wants you to meet him in the library. It seems to be about something called the Extreme Yin Meridian." said the disciple.
Elder He? Just as Luo Jinxiao was about to ask in detail, he discovered that the person had disappeared.
"What is the Extreme Yin Meridian?" Lu Fanzhi was also very confused and a little worried. "There are many people in the sect who don't like you. I'm afraid it's a trick. I'll go with you."
Luo Jinxiao frowned and looked around the empty hall, shook her head, and narrowed her eyes. This matter sounded really strange, but since it was about her immortal vein... it was indeed very tempting.
"Even if it's a trick, it's useless for you to accompany me. You stay here. If I'm not back by the time of class, go find..."
She paused. There were so many masters in the Wuhui Sect. If something happened to her, who could she ask for help
Elder Liu? He has always lived in seclusion and disappeared at any time. It is not certain whether he can be found. Even if he can be found, whether he is willing to make this trip for her is also a question.
Luo Ning is a little girl, so it’s better not to let her get involved in muddy water.
"When it's absolutely necessary, I'll go find Junior Master Uncle and tell him that I'm willing to give him anything as a token of my gratitude." Luo Jinxiao said. She didn't know why, but she felt that Qu Weiyin would definitely help her.
But, I hope she is just overthinking it.
She gave Lu Fanzhi a reassuring smile, turned and walked out.
