At this time, the masked woman who had been standing silently at the side came forward. Luo Jinxiao quickly stretched out his arm to stop her and said, "You don't want to capture the monster again, do you? You saw it all. It wasn't her who hurt people."
The masked woman paused, as if hesitating, with reluctance revealed in her eyes.
“But if my brother were here, he would definitely not let monsters wander in the human world.” She shook her head.
"You are so unreasonable. It can't be wrong to be born a demon. Look at how close they are. It proves that she treats this girl very well, at least a thousand times better than those ordinary people."
“Having said that…” The woman shook her head repeatedly but did not raise her hand again.
After a while, she gritted her teeth, turned around, and said to Luo Jinxiao: "Brother and the others will be back soon. He hates evil and will never let any evildoer go. Then there will be another dispute. You should let her leave quickly. Jianghu is so big that there will always be a place for evildoers to survive."
Luo Jinxiao smiled brightly upon hearing this, nodded and clasped his hands together: "Thank you very much."
"What's your name, my immortal friend? It's really admirable that you have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age." The woman returned the greeting and then asked.
"Luo Jinxiao." Luo Jinxiao replied.
"Chi Yi." The woman said with a smile.
"Alright." Qu Weiyin interjected coldly from the side, "Be careful it's too late."
She strode to the side of the tree demon, spoke to her in a softer tone, and whispered something to her. The tree demon showed gratitude on his face, then lowered his head to look at Xiu'er in his arms.
"She is a human after all. If she follows you like this, I'm afraid..." Qu Weiyin looked embarrassed, but Xiu'er seemed to understand what she meant and wrapped her arms around the tree demon even tighter.
She shook her head repeatedly and refused to let go.
"You don't know, they don't treat Xiu'er well. She is born deaf and dumb. Although her father still cares about her, he often beats or scolds her. That's not all. A few days ago, they betrothed her. Xiu'er doesn't want to marry anyone else. If I leave, she will really have no one to turn to." The tree demon spoke, and unlike her demon form, her voice was extremely clear and gentle.
"Moreover, people hate evil spirits very much. After so many things happened today, if she goes back like this, one can imagine her fate." The tree demon spoke earnestly, tears welling up in his green eyes.
Qu Weiyin seemed to be moved. She was always decisive. She nodded, grabbed the tree demon with one hand and Xiu'er with the other, and said with her head tilted: "Why don't you catch up? How long do you plan to talk?"
Hearing this, Luo Jinxiao stuck out her tongue and hurriedly ran forward. The woman waved goodbye behind her.
"You are not afraid of strangers." Qu Weiyin snorted coldly, and then the surrounding scenery distorted and changed, the original mountain disappeared, and when they looked carefully again, they were already in the middle of a field. Waist-high green wheat waves surged and swayed around, and it seemed like a deep ocean for a moment.
The tree demon reached out and held Xiu'er's hand, which was trembling with fear, in her palm. She bowed deeply to Qu Weiyin and Luo Jinxiao.
"Thank you very much, both of you. We have no way to repay you, so this is just a small token of our gratitude." She spread out her palms, and a emerald green crystal lay quietly in her palms, as clear as a teardrop.
"A dead tree comes back to life. This is a gift from heaven and earth when the tree demon transforms. It can heal the dead and turn flesh into bones."
Qu Weiyin glanced at it calmly, then tilted her head towards Luo Jinxiao: "I don't need it, you take it."
The tree demon handed the crystal to Luo Jinxiao and smiled, with his emerald green hair fluttering behind him: "Then, let's go. Xiu'er."
She called the girl gently, then lowered her head and touched her forehead with hers. They both closed their eyes at the same time, as if they were communicating.
"She said, thank you." The tree demon smiled.
Holding hands, the two walked farther and farther in the endless wheat waves. Their figures gradually disappeared. The man and the demon looked very harmonious.
Luo Jinxiao stared at them blankly, then suddenly nodded and said, "It's so beautiful."
Qu Weiyin heard this and said in a cold tone: "What good is there? What awaits them in the future is suffering. The road ahead is long. This is their own choice, and the consequences should be borne by themselves."
Luo Jinxiao turned his head to look at Qu Weiyin, wondering in his heart, she clearly didn't have long to live, so why did her tone always sound so desolate, as if she had seen through life and death.
"But I'm surprised that you would do something against the will of heaven with me." Qu Weiyin said. She has always been free and unrestrained, doing whatever she wants. Ethical principles are like a roll of waste paper to her, but she never thought that Luo Jinxiao would be like this.
Luo Jinxiao scratched her head helplessly. This matter had indeed long gone beyond what she was used to. After all, in her previous life, she had been taught the right way since she was a child, and she should be as corrupt and rigid as others.
But now the facts are happening right before her eyes. The dependence of the tree demon and Xiu'er on each other is visible to the naked eye, and the world's prejudice against them is equally shocking. She suddenly feels that all the great truths she had heard before are bullshit in an instant.
Qu Weiyin looked up at the sky. The moonlight was already sparse, and the wheat field showed a rough outline.
"We've been delayed for a long time. Let's set off." Qu Weiyin said, and the Crescent Moon and Star Sword appeared out of thin air and stood in front of her.
What happened in Pingxi Town seemed like an episode or a dream. The two flew south on their swords, hardly taking any rest, and only arrived at Xumi Villa two days later.
The surrounding scenery changed again and again. The number of lakes and rivers on the ground increased significantly, winding into the Exiled Sea. When landing, one could already see the vast expanse of sea. It was the first time that Luo Jinxiao saw such endless water, and he was so excited that he talked more.
Qu Weiyin said the word "noisy" dozens of times and almost threw her down in anger.
When the two arrived at the gate of Xumi Villa, there were only a few visitors at the door. Most people had arrived long ago. The two young boys guarding the door, wearing light blue Taoist robes, were dozing off.
Qu Weiyin landed on the ground, bringing with her a gust of wind that woke the young men up. They looked up sleepily, and when they saw Qu Weiyin, they all widened their eyes, jumped up on the spot, and stopped in front of Qu Weiyin.
"Sir, may I ask if you have an invitation?" The young man asked with a look of amazement written all over his face. Luo Jinxiao frowned and unconsciously pushed Qu Weiyin behind him. He stepped forward and said, "We are from Wuhui Sect."
"Wuhui Sect, is this Qu Weiyin, the Immortal Qu?" The young man pushed Luo Jinxiao away and moved forward, his eyes full of admiration.
Qu Weiyin silently took a half step back and nodded with a stern face.
"Please come this way, Immortal. We have already prepared a place for you to rest." The young man hurriedly tidied his clothes, bent over and led the way, without even looking at Luo Jinxiao the whole time.
Qu Weiyin followed him for a few steps, then suddenly turned around. Looking at Luo Jinxiao's expression of despair, the corners of her lips suddenly twitched, as if she was a little proud.
This made her delicate and picturesque eyebrows and eyes more lively, and in Luo Jinxiao's eyes, they were actually very cute.
When Luo Jinxiao struggled to recover from this startling glimpse, Qu Weiyin had already disappeared. In front of her stood another young man with a dull face. He handed her a wooden sign and said, "My immortal friend, this is your wing room. Just follow this road and keep going."
Although Luo Jinxiao felt aggrieved, she had no choice but to accept her fate. Xumi Villa was not smaller than Wuhui Sect, so there were many side rooms. When she walked on the road, there were disciples from various sects communicating and exchanging ideas around her, which was very lively.
There were several sects that were very famous in her previous life, and she had heard of them, such as the Life and Death Sect which was composed entirely of men, and everyone carried a gloomy aura.
Another example is the Tianji Tower which is filled with women. At a glance, it is filled with beautiful girls chasing and playing around, attracting the shy gazes of the Life and Death Sect across the street.
However, Luo Jinxiao did not dare to look at them for too long, because she knew that the women in Tianji Tower were beautiful, but they were very cruel when fighting. When they were fighting, they would just hit people in the face, which was very brutal.
She had the good fortune to encounter this when she was young in her previous life. A dozen little girls chased her and beat her. It was extremely terrifying.
There were numbers engraved on the wooden sign that the boy gave her, and the corresponding room was quickly found. Unlike the Wuhui Gate which was full of white jade carvings, this one looked more like a human house, with small bridges and flowing water, and was elegantly arranged.
The wooden door opened, and a figure appeared in front of her. He grabbed her hand and said in surprise, "You finally came tonight. I thought you had offended Master Qu on the way and died on some mountain."
Luo Jinxiao looked at Lu Fanzhi and saw her breathing stagnate. She felt a little headache and weakly waved her hands and said, "It was almost."
She was dragged by Lu Fanzhi around the hallway and was nearly hit head-on by a vase. Fortunately, she was agile and dodged sideways, and the vase hit the wall and shattered.
"What? The four of us live together?" Luo Jinxiao spoke sadly, as if he had heard bad news.
"Yes, there are too many people coming and there are not enough empty rooms, so we have to squeeze together." Lu Fanzhi shook her head and walked around the broken vase as if she was used to it.
Luo Jinxiao couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he chanted a mantra and restored the vase on the ground to its original state. However, the next moment, another matching vase was thrown out, hit the ground and shattered.
"Are they going to keep arguing like this?" Luo Jinxiao hugged herself, wanting to cry but without tears.
Lu Fanzhi spread his hands and said, "You'll get used to it. I don't know why the two of them started arguing again. Your sister looked gentle and kind, but when she got angry, she just threw things around, and Yanying got the better of her. This is what I cleaned up. You didn't see it just now. It was a mess."
The fight lasted for half a day. Luo Jinxiao couldn't find a quiet place, so he had to hide on the eaves to practice. When the house became quiet, the sun had already set.
She tiptoed back to her room to sleep. Luo Ning slept alone on one side, Yan Ying slept on the other side, with Lu Fanzhi in the middle, who considerately made the bedding for her.
"Thank you." She whispered, and slipped in silently, thinking that after being tired for so long, she could finally have a good sleep.
Unexpectedly, she was awakened by an embrace just a moment after falling asleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Lu Fanzhi had fallen asleep and stretched out his arm on her face, almost completely holding her head in his arms.
Luo Jinxiao resisted the urge to hit someone, pulled her hand away, and freed her head. However, as soon as her head came out, Lu Fanzhi's legs fell on her again.
"Lu Fanzhi!" Luo Jinxiao couldn't bear it anymore and said through gritted teeth.
Lu Fanzhi was sleeping soundly, grinning and calling "Mom".
Luo Jinxiao suddenly missed Elder Liu's courtyard very much.
She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, and finally decided to stand up, put on her cloak, rolled up her bedding, and left the room.
But she was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know where to find an inn. She strolled along the road, and as she walked, she looked up and felt a burst of joy in her heart.
In front of the window in front of her, there was a bean-sized oil lamp. Although the wick was small, it was very bright. A beautiful woman was leaning against the window, her graceful figure was dim, and it was Qu Weiyin.
Luo Jinxiao was extremely sleepy now. She ran forward a few steps, stood on tiptoe and put her head into the window, smiled flatteringly, and said in a low voice: "Little Master..."
Qu Weiyin looked up suddenly, the bright firelight reflected in her clear eyes. She remained silent, her eyes full of doubt.
"Junior Master, can I sleep with you?" Luo Jinxiao tried hard to put on a friendly smile, looking sweet and innocent, with her eyebrows curved into crescent shapes.
Qu Weiyin's face suddenly turned red. She frowned and looked at Luo Jinxiao, then started coughing violently.
