Since the last monitoring mission, Ma Xiaotao only told Yan Shaozhe the whole story when he came out of the mine.

Her evil fire erupted that time, and she has been hiding from these elders ever since, fearing that her affairs would be discovered.

Now that Qingli was taken away by Master Xuan, Ma Xiaotao was very anxious. She immediately ran to find her teacher Yan Shaozhe for help.

Zhang Lexuan stopped her when she saw this, "Don't worry, Dugu will be fine."

"Big sister, you..."

On the other side, Old Xuan brought Qingli to the back mountain of Poseidon Island. He looked much more sober than the hungover look Qingli had seen him in before.

Old Xuan carried his wine gourd and walked to an open space and stopped, "Show me a few moves."

Qingli understood what Master Xuan meant. He wanted to see Qingli's skills in using a gun.

Qing Li immediately summoned his spear and performed a few moves in the open space. His blocking and grabbing were all powerful, his spear thrusts were like arrows shot from a bow, and his force was like thunder and lightning. On the surface, there seemed to be no problem.

However, while Old Xuan was drinking with one hand, he was trying to poker at the spear in Qingli's hand with the other. His movements seemed casual, but he chose the timing very cleverly.

Before Qing Li could resist, the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear was in his hands. This was not the first time that Qing Li had been grabbed by the gun. This also made her realize that there was definitely a big problem when she was using the gun.

After Old Xuan grabbed Qingli's gun, he put the big gourd in his hand behind his back, and then shook the spear in his hand slightly.

The tip of the gun was like a nimble little snake, it penetrated Qingli's lower back at an angle and stabbed out from the arm ring on her other side.

Qing Li was unharmed, but her other arm was caught by the spear.

As Master Xuan sat on the ground, Qingli then lay face down on the ground.

The arm closer to Master Xuan was still able to move. Just as Qing Li was about to fight back, the soil on the ground began to move, locking her slender wrist and making her unable to move.

In an instant, she snatched the gun and subdued Qingli. This was something Qingli had done to others before, but now it was her turn.

At this moment, Xuan Lao had his back to Qing Li, and he lifted the spear that was restraining Qing Li's entire body and right arm onto his shoulders. He picked up his wine flask again and started drinking. "Who did you learn that spear technique from? Your moves are pretty standard, but they're terrible when you put them together."

Really sick...

On the way here just now, Qing Li clearly heard his laughter, and he was obviously very proud. Who would have thought that he would turn against her and do this.

Qing Li lay on the ground depressed and stopped resisting, "Is it not okay if I learned it by myself?"

She was indeed self-taught. When she was still in the Body Sect, she practiced each spear technique a thousand times a day.

Do this every day without interruption. Once you become proficient in it, this number will increase.

"Starting today, train with them during the day and come to me at night."

Old Xuan originally wanted to hear Qingli cry out in pain. Given Qingli's current state, with his joints restrained, his arms pressed behind his back, and a gun pressed against his lower back, anyone could make Qingli feel pain if they exerted a little strength, but Qingli didn't make a sound.

That was because Old Xuan didn't understand Qingli. The only reason she didn't do anything now was because Old Xuan had no ill intentions. If it were a fight between life and death, she would rather break the joints in her arms to give herself a chance.

"Can you use a gun?"

"Don't I look like one?"

"Teacher, you must be wise and powerful, and capable of doing everything, but can you let me stand up and talk?" Qing Li turned around and could only see the back of Master Xuan.

"I have two questions that I need you to answer for me."

Qing Li suddenly realized, "One is how you were poisoned, right? That's easy to tell. Let me go first and I'll tell you everything."

Afterwards, Master Xuan actually listened to Qing Li and let her go. After listening to her story, he finally understood.

Xuan Lao subconsciously pressed his neck and said, "Little guy, you are really sinister."

Qing Li pointed at Master Xuan's action and said, "That's it. I advise you to be more careful in the future. Now I can use this to paralyze you. If an opponent with similar strength as you seizes this weakness of yours, then you will suffer a loss, right?"

To be honest, this may not be a weakness. Only Qingli can take advantage of it.

If Elder Xuan was hit in a frontal battle, it would not matter where he was hit. He would still be injured, and would still have no effect.

Qing Li had indeed guessed correctly. This action was Master Xuan’s protective umbrella, his safety device, and a habit that he might never be able to change in his lifetime.

Even though Master Xuan was exposed to the secret, he still taught Qing Li shamelessly, "Have you ever heard of the saying 'great skill appears clumsy'? This is me, and you still need to learn from me."

Qing Li suppressed her disdain and asked a question she had always been curious about, "Teacher, tell me the truth, do you have mysophobia?"

Anyone who sees Mr. Xuan looking so sloppy would not believe that Qing Li could actually ask such a question.

But Qingli once had a master who was particularly obsessed with mysophobia, and she understood this feeling of being there and yet not there best.

Mr. Xuan just had messy hair, and his clothes looked gray and shabby, but in fact it was just an old piece of clothing that had been washed countless times.

Because this piece of clothes was the one he wore on the day he failed to rescue his students.

As for his mysophobia, such as wiping his mouth frequently after eating, I wonder if this counts?

But he cleans it more diligently than Feng Lie, which is a bit weird.

Moreover, the sense of distance that Xuan Lao maintained between himself and others was exactly the same as Feng Lie's. Feng Lie didn't want to be easily touched by others, so he kept a certain distance from everyone.

Feng Lie's cleanliness is due to his nature, while Xuan Lao gives Qing Li the feeling of a kind of morbid cleanliness.

"Are you comparing me to your doghouse?" Old Xuan asked in some confusion.

It's not the best. As the saying goes, mysophobia is not a disease, but it's really annoying when you're busy.

Qingli didn't want all of his former masters to be infected with this torturous "disease."

"What's your second question?"

Xuan Zi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Ah Li, you should know that a soul master's state of mind has a great relationship with his cultivation. For example, Yan Shaozhe is obviously very talented, but his cultivation has not improved. Should we say that there is something wrong with his state of mind, or that he has never been ready to enter the ranks of the strong? As for you, I have the same worry." He did not speak as casually as usual, and said very seriously, "Ah Li, don't you have any mental illness? I saw you talking to yourself, crying and laughing."

After hearing this, Qing Li fell into a long silence. She was cursing Old Xuan in her heart, "What an old bastard! I actually forgot that he had the ability to do things silently."

Qingli does have some concerns, but she is unwilling to admit it.

"What do you mean? When I was in the mimicry area during the holidays?" Qing Li could only guess this way, and looking at Master Xuan's expression, she felt that she should have guessed correctly. She immediately adjusted her mood and began an extremely exquisite performance, "Teacher, after all, I was young, and that day was my birthday. Without my family to accompany me, I was always lonely, so I talked to myself and pretended that someone was with me to spend my birthday. You should understand."

Old Xuan sensed something strange, because what Qingli said was somewhat inconsistent with what Xuanzi had observed of her on a daily basis, but Qingli's acting skills were too good, and what she said was really reasonable.

Qing Li watched as Xuan Lao's expression changed from doubt to belief, and finally said, "I see, as long as you are not sick, that's all."

As he spoke, he threw down a waist badge carved from a golden tree, similar to the one Zhang Lexuan had used before, and said, "This will be yours from now on. With your current authority, you can use this badge to practice for two hours every day in the golden meditation room on the first floor below the Sea God Pavilion."

Qing Li was very surprised after receiving it, not because she had the identity of Poseidon Pavilion, but because the golden meditation room sounded like a better place than the simulated training area in the outer courtyard.

Shrek’s trip was really worthwhile, there were so many good things here.

Moreover, ever since Qing Li became Xuan Zi's disciple, she has had a room in the Poseidon Pavilion.

While Qingli was able to enter and leave the Poseidon Pavilion freely, the most annoying person was born, and that was Zhuang Yusen in the Poseidon Pavilion.

Because he had promised Qingli that as long as he could freely enter the Sea God Pavilion, the medicine pavilion known as the treasure house would be opened to him.

Zhuang Yusen had made such an agreement with Qingli in the first place in order to pave the way for accepting a disciple, but he never expected that Qingli would worship the most unreliable Master Xuan in the Poseidon Pavilion.

From then on, Qingli frequently went in and out of the medicine cabinet, and all the food and things she took were charged to Zhuang Yusen's account. She even called it a beautiful thing: Mr. Zhuang's promise is worth a thousand gold.

A month passed, and on the night before the 15 Shrek people who were going to participate in the Soul Fighting Competition were going to Tiandou City the next day, Ma Xiaotao suddenly found Qingli.

It wasn't sudden. After training every day, Ma Xiaotao would knock on Qingli's door behind everyone's back, but Qingli was always not there.

Dugu Qingli became Xuan Lao's disciple, but she didn't make any progress in other aspects. She was just like her teacher, appearing and disappearing mysteriously and being hard to find.

Later, after asking Zhang Lexuan, she found out that Qingli came to the Golden Meditation Room to practice for two hours every night, which was why Ma Xiaotao blocked her.

"Can you help me solve the evil fire?"
