The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

The three people said that there were rumors outside that Jiang Zhixia had led her disciples to Qingqiu to cause trouble in the name of congratulations a few days ago. With the support of his powerful magic power and the support of True Lord Zhaoheng, he acted tyrannically at the banquet and even pointed at the emperor's nose and cursed.

After the banquet, she became jealous of the beauty of the fiancée, the eldest grandson of the country's leader, and allowed her disciples to torture her, and finally cut her body into pieces.

It is also said that she and the demon world jointly set up a grand formation to draw all mortals and gods to sacrifice, paving the way for her to rule the three realms in the future.

She also said that in the previous incident in Taoyuan Township, she did not go to save people, but the matter of cooperating with the demon world was known to the Emperor of Heaven, and she had to jump out to fight against the demon world in desperation. Afterwards, she escaped the punishment of Heavenly Rules with the help of True Lord Zhaoheng.

It was also rumored that she was an extremely unruly woman who had illicit relationships with several male immortals and made them do her bidding.

"Huh?!" Jiang Zhixia was not angry, but rather surprised.

"Master Jiang..." one person said: "Since we were young, we have heard from our grandfathers that our peace in Dongyao depends on the blessing of the god on the mountain. And we also come to you when we have nothing to do, you are so familiar with us. We definitely won’t believe this rumor. It’s scary that you don’t know.”

"That's right." Another person said: "They said that your previous good deeds were all fake. Even if a person can pretend, ten, twenty, or at most fifty years is a big deal. How can he pretend for hundreds of years? Maybe? We really think we are idiots.”

The last person said: "What I'm saying is that you can't hide the virtues you search for."

Jiang Zhixia:? ? ?

"We know that you have great supernatural powers, but when we came back, we heard from my family that you haven't come out for several days. You may have been injured while hunting monsters outside. I thought I would come over and tell you that you should arrest the person who spread the rumors as soon as possible. Now there are rumors We have arrived in Xian County, but this rumor is really unheard of, this..."

"Hey, hey! I know, I know." Jiang Zhixia was very grateful to them, "Thank you three. I really don't know. I won't care about the rest of you, I will handle it. I will find a disciple to send you back."

"No, no, no, home is not far." They said to her as they walked: "Arrest those people earlier, they are so annoying!"

"No, what each of them said is quite true, as if they have actually seen each other."

After the three of them left, Jiang Zhixia looked at her classmates and disciples who had their heads lowered, and then looked at Xie Zezhi and Gong Zexue.

"You all know about the co-authorship?"

Xie Zezhi quickly said: "Don't worry, I will take care of it. Just have a good rest."

"Master!" He Susu took a step forward and "sold" her master in an awe-inspiring manner, "I wanted to say it earlier, but the master wouldn't let us say it because he was afraid of disturbing your rest. But I always felt that he should I told you earlier. He said he knew about it, but he didn't care about it. Now the rumors have spread to Fu County, which is only two hundred miles away from us."

"Moxian County..." Jiang Zhixia repeated the place name, and then said with a smile: "It's thousands of miles away from Qingqiu, and it took six days to reach here. These foxes are really working hard... Let them spread the word Come on."

"Master, don't you care?"

"Never mind, but it's not that time yet." She turned to Xie Zezhi and said, "You..."

"Send it, send it."

She only said one word, and Xie Zezhi understood what she was going to say, "I have asked Lingqing disciples from all over the country to stay put, participate in the conversations of those people, and observe more..."

Jiang Zhixia raised his chin and said, "Smart."

"Thank you, Master, for the compliment." Xie Zezhi pursed his lips and smiled.

Everyone saw that her mood was not affected in the slightest by the rumors, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that you have known that they would have such rumors. You are quite big-hearted." Xiaosong supported Li Xuchu, "My master has such a good temper, he has been a little angry these days."

"Those foxes in Qingqiu can't kill me, and they will definitely ruin my reputation. I would be surprised if they didn't do this." She walked up to Li Xuchu, "Don't be angry, Mr. Li, don't forget that you are still important. things to do.”

What she was talking about was looking back two months later.

Li Xuchu was comforted by her and nodded with a smile, "Don't worry."

"Daughter, do you need my help?" Fairy Magnolia asked.

"Of course!" Jiang Zhixia held her hand, "It's necessary, but not now! You and Sister Chenghua have something very, very important to do later. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you then."

"What does the family say about trouble?" Fairy Magnolia said to her, "Come to me anytime if you have anything to do. It's best to find something for your godfather. This will save him from having nothing to do all day."

After joking, she took Chenghua and left first.

"Xiao Mu..." Jiang Zhixia whispered a few words into Mu Shenglan's ear. Mu Shenglan frowned slightly, "It's not a big deal, but what do you want these for?"

"Promise me first." She pulled her sleeves and softened her voice, "Please."

"Okay." Mu Shenglan agreed happily.

Then everyone dispersed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Zezhi picked up Jiang Zhixia and took her back to her room to rest.

"Still sleeping? I'm ready," she protested.

"Be obedient." He put her on the bed and took off her shoes. "It consumes your mind as much as anything else. You should meditate and practice Zen to nourish your mind. You don't like to meditate. When will you be able to recover if you don't rest?"

She yawned, "I don't know if it's true or not. In fact, I think I'm quite energetic."

Hearing this, Xie Zezhi didn't say much and started to untie her belt.

"What are you doing!" She quickly held his hand.

"Since you said you are in high spirits..."

"I like to talk nonsense, and you don't know it." She turned over and muttered: "Why are you serious about me? I..."

Before she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Xie Zezhi gently brushed her cheek with the back of his hand and raised his lips with a smile. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he turned around and left to deal with other things.

As soon as he walked outside the courtyard, he saw Ji Chen standing not far away, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Is she...sleeping?" Ji Chen looked into the courtyard.

"Sleep." He closed the courtyard door smoothly, "Let's talk about anything tomorrow."

After saying that, he took steps to leave.

"Wait." Ji Chen stopped him: "If it's nothing important, I want to talk to you."

"Looking for me?" Xie Zezhi turned around and looked at him, "What do you and I have to talk about? If you want to discuss with me who she belongs to, you don't have to. She will always belong to herself, not to you. Not mine either."

"I understand." Ji Chen pursed his lips, "I just want to ask you something. I won't delay you for too long."

Xie Zezhi took him to the pavilion not far from Jiang Zhixia's yard.

"What's your business?"

"That day when we were under the cave, you clearly had no magic power. Why did you end up..."

"Ai said that all her power comes from us, and she can control us because we have the emotions she wants. That's why she suddenly thanked us at that time and said that we can defeat Zhixia."

Xie Zezhi said: "So I think in order to save her, I must first withdraw my feelings for her."

Ji Chen found it incredible, "Can you really say you don't love her and not love her? Do you not love her at all?"

"You are wrong." He said calmly: "It is precisely because I love her that I have to let go. No matter how painful it is, at that moment I have to decide that I just don't love her. Only in this way can I save her."

"Let go..." Ji Chen said softly, "But I can't figure it out."

"Can't figure out what?"

"How can you let her go?"

"I couldn't bear it." He took a deep breath and stood up: "She ran up to me and told me that she fell in love with her third senior brother. I thought a lot at that moment. I wanted to take her away and lock her up. , I will kill you again...but in the end I just told her to do whatever she wants."

"Why don't you do this? With your magic, these things are easy."

"Yes. It's easy." He chuckled and said, "But she smiled happily when she mentioned you that day. If I really did this, it would be tantamount to depriving her of her happiness. I don't want to lose her because of my selfish desires. Make her sad.

To be honest, I knew that the moment you came back to life, I still wanted to kill you. "

Ji Chen laughed at himself: "If you do it this time, she will definitely not blame you."

"She won't blame me. But I can't do this. Only she is qualified to judge whether you should die. And..." He paused, "I don't want to become like you, because she doesn't like it."

Ji Chen clenched his fists and then released them, "I understand. It's getting late, I won't delay your work."

Xie Zezhi watched him leave and sighed in his heart: I hope he really understands how to love someone.

Love?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

After Jiang Zhixia woke up the next day, He Susu came to tell her that the monsters had been brought by the disciples and were waiting for her in the main hall.

When they met again, Jiang Zhixia found that they were dressed much better than last time and were in good spirits.

They knelt before her and kowtowed, thanking her for the seeds and clothing she had given them. Those crops have a fast growth cycle and only need a little bit to be full, which greatly alleviates their crisis.

Jiang Zhixia helped them up, "Thank you to my junior brother, he cultivated the seeds."

Dongfang Chuliang was a little embarrassed when his senior sister praised him in public.

"It's good to see you, Master Jiang, and you're fine." The snake demon said, "We heard that you came back from Qingqiu... There was a lot of buzz outside..."

"Have you even heard of it?"

"We think you did the right thing!" the weasel spirit said angrily, "This is how you should treat them."

"Shut up!" The rabbit demon stepped on him hard, "Is Master Jiang that kind of person? Do you think they are all the same as those foxes?"

Only then did the weasel spirit realize that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized to her.

"It's okay." Jiang Zhixia said with a smile: "I was worried that if you really believed these rumors, you would draw a clear line with me and never come to Lingqing again."

"We don't believe it." The monsters said, "This is what those foxes arranged. We have been harmed by them before."

"Foxes are hateful." She sighed: "That's why I came to you today to ask you to do something important. I wonder if you dare to do it?"

"what's up?"

"Kill the fox."
