Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Big Brother, do you really want to accompany us in the trial?" As soon as Xing Fang saw the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect leave, he immediately went forward to talk to Zhou Ze.

"If I didn't come, what were you going to do? Fight with the people from Xiaoyao Sect? Xiaoyao Sect's eldest sister Gu Yunnuo has a lonely and eccentric personality, and she is very protective of her people. You dare to bully her junior brothers and sisters, aren't you afraid that she will come for revenge?" Zhou Ze said in a cold voice.

"Gu Yunnuo?" Everyone gasped when they heard the name.

It is said that before Gu Yunnuo joined the Xiaoyao Sect, a shocking story happened.

At that time, she had already been engaged to a man named Tian Yiwen, but on the eve of their marriage, fate played a cruel joke on her - she accidentally saw Tian Yiwen having a tryst with his lover! Gu Yunnuo, blinded by anger, took extreme action without hesitation.

She secretly hired someone to beat Tian Yiwen up and cut his tendons with her own hands. Afterwards, she resolutely went against her parents' advice and went to the Tian family to cancel the engagement.

Not only that, she also ruthlessly tied up the woman who destroyed her marriage and sent her to the government for punishment, severely slapping the Tian family in the face.

However, the story does not end there.

You know, Tian Yiwen's family is a prominent official family. They used the power in their hands to launch revenge, causing dozens of people in Gu Yunnuo's entire family to be imprisoned and killed.

As the day of execution approached and the situation was extremely critical, Yu Hengsheng, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, stepped forward like a god sent from heaven and successfully rescued Gu Yunnuo and all his relatives.

From that moment on, Gu Yunnuo was filled with gratitude and resolutely became Yu Hengsheng's disciple, becoming the most talented among his many disciples.

Moreover, since they were blessed by Xiaoyao Sect, the Gu family, which was originally in a weak position, no longer had to fear the power of the Tian family. Gu Yunnuo remembered Heng Sheng's life-saving grace in his heart, and he regarded every word of his master as a guideline and resolutely obeyed it.

At the same time, she also treated other brothers and sisters in the sect with great care and love. Over time, she earned the reputation of being a "celebrity who protects the weak."

Whenever people mention Gu Yunnuo, they speak only in praise of him.

"Is Gu Yunnuo some kind of monster?" Yu Xiaobai gently pulled Helan Ruofeng's sleeve.

"I don't know either." Helan Ruofeng answered her softly.

"Big Brother, we know we were wrong. Please join us in this trial, Big Brother. Please!"

All the disciples of Yunji Villa were now working together to beg Zhou Ze to accompany them all the way, in case Gu Yunnuo came out and cut their tendons in their hands and feet, they would cry.

Zhou Ze snorted with disdain, then squinted at Tong Yi and Mo Xiaotan with disdain. Among these disciples, these two were known for their love of stirring up trouble.

"Junior Sister Yu?" Zhou Ze didn't seem to want to dwell too much on the matter at hand. After taking a deep breath, he asked in a low voice.

"Over there..." Someone responded in a low voice, but the voice was too faint to hear the exact direction.

"Brother, I'm here!" Following the voice, Yu Xiaobai quickly squeezed next to Zhou Ze and greeted him politely.

"Junior Sister Yu, before we left, Master specifically asked me to take good care of you. If anyone dares to bully you, don't worry, just tell me and I will teach them a lesson for you." Zhou Ze nodded slightly, then instructed Yu Xiaobai with a serious face.

As he spoke, his eyes once again vaguely swept over Tong Yi and Mo Xiaotan, the warning implication of which was self-evident.

Faced with Zhou Ze's words, Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

"Thank you, Senior Brother! However, if they really dare to bully me, I will definitely find you first to seek justice." Yu Xiaobai's words were full of humility and courtesy.

Hearing this, Zhou Ze nodded with satisfaction to show his approval.

"Okay, in that case, let's finish our breakfast quickly and then set off early!" Zhou Ze then waved his hand and ordered.

After being intimidated by these words, all the disciples at Yunji Villa sat down obediently to eat and prepare dry food for the journey.

Yu Xiaobai wanted to separate from Helan Ruofeng, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to him.

"Ruofeng, we are leaving. We have already seen your master, so hurry back! I will go to the East Territory to find you when I have the chance." She herself couldn't say when that would be.

"Okay, I'll go back with my master first, and then I'll come find you later." Helan Ruofeng said seriously.

"Why are you looking for me? Do you want to go to the Far North with me?" Yu Xiaobai was frightened and trembled. Is this guy okay?

"I, Helan Ruofeng, dare to take responsibility for my actions and will definitely be responsible for you." Helan Ruofeng looked at Yu Xiaobai and said word by word.

"Be responsible for me?" Yu Xiaobai didn't understand what responsibility he wanted to take towards her.

"In the cold pond...I..." Helan Ruofeng did not say the rest of the words. He thought that Yu Xiaobai should understand.

"What happened in Hantan? That? Don't worry about it, I have forgotten about it." Yu Xiaobai thought he was talking about his actions in the passage, and it would be too serious to hold her responsible for that.

"Xiao Yu...you don't have to do this. I will take responsibility for what I have done." Helan Ruofeng turned around and went back to the house without waiting for Yu Xiaobai to react.

Yu Xiaobai didn't think much about his behavior. She just felt that this ancient man just leaned on her and then took responsibility for her without asking whether she was willing or not.

Zi Yan watched the interaction between the two from afar, and there was a hint of contempt in her eyes when she looked at Yu Xiaobai. She didn't expect that the high priest's apprentice would be so dissolute.

"What are you looking at, Sister Zi Yan? I heard that Sister Zi Yan has a good relationship with Ruo Feng, and Ruo Feng even saved Sister Zi Yan before. Why do I feel that Sister Zi Yan doesn't treat Ruo Feng like a savior?" Yu Xiaobai felt Zi Yan's gaze and asked deliberately to test her.

"Who told you that? It's not certain who will save whom." Zi Yan replied to her, then turned her head coldly and stopped looking at her.

In fact, Yu Xiaobai felt wronged. No one likes loneliness by nature, not to mention that she is just a little girl. She would rather go out for the trial alone than go with the people from Yunji Villa, just because these people bullied her.

Xing Fang and his gang of officials' sons are all flatterers and opportunists. Tong Yi and his gang of playboys and dissolute men appear bright and beautiful on the surface, but actually like to do some disgusting things that are unknown to others.

The female disciples, led by Mo Xiaotan, were arrogant and domineering, with no good intentions. The others were submissive, hesitant, and had no self-esteem.

No one could say a sincere word to her. Zi Yan, the only person who had a connection with her, either ignored her or spoke coldly to her.

To be honest, if Yu Xiaobai followed his wishes, it would be better for him to go around with Helan Ruofeng and his disciples, which would make him happy and relaxed.

When the disciples of Yunji Villa were about to leave, the disciples of Chonghai Sect also set out. However, according to Chu Yan, the place they were going to was not the same as Xiaoyao Sect.

In this way, there were only disciples from Yunji Villa along the way.

Under Zhou Ze's supervision, everyone walked for a while and then changed to flying with swords.

Yu Xiaobai didn't like doing this. She was so happy when she learned how to fly with a sword, after all, she could fly freely in the sky. But now that she has really learned it, it's annoying to travel day and night like this.

Fu Sheng Inn...

Bai Qiyang took out half of the mermaid's inner elixir from Helan Ruofeng's body and put it back into Cong Li's body. Cong Li's originally transparent horns gradually turned into solid objects.

"Okay, disciple, how do you feel about it?" he said to Cong Li.

Helan Ruofeng and Taibu Xingjun on the side also looked at Cong Li expectantly.

Cong Li slowly opened his eyes and tried to mobilize the spiritual power in his body. The spiritual power that was originally scattered and unable to gather could now be easily gathered together. He looked at Helan Ruofeng excitedly, his joy was beyond words.

"Brother Helan, I can practice magic normally from now on." Cong Li said excitedly.

"Cong Li, congratulations." Helan Ruofeng was happy for Cong Li.

"Brother Helan, how do you feel now?" Cong Li recovered his spiritual power and hurriedly asked Helan Ruofeng.

Helan Ruofeng also quickly tried to mobilize the spiritual power in his body.

"It's okay. You can practice slowly. As long as your life is safe, it's fine." Helan Ruofeng felt that there was nothing wrong, so he comforted Cong Li.

"Oh, it looks like I'm going to spend money again." Bai Qiyang pretended not to care and took out the gourd that contained his pills.

"Xiaobai Immortal Lord, what are you doing..." Taibu Star Lord looked at him in disbelief and asked.

"My disciple was nearly frozen to death last night, so I gave him a top-grade Ningyuan Pill, which would give him three thousand years of cultivation!" Bai Qiyang looked at Cong Li with regret, and then at Taibu Xingjun.

"Top-grade Ningyuan Pill..." Taibu Xingjun's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"There are only three pills. Since I have already given one to Cong Li, I will not show favoritism. I will also give one to... Feng'er!" Bai Qiyang said awkwardly.

When Helan Ruofeng heard this, he quickly stood up and was about to refuse.

"Thank you, Immortal Lord Xiaobai, for your kindness. I thank you on behalf of my disciple." Taibu Star Lord quickly took the top-grade Ningyuan Pill from Bai Qiyang's hand, and Helan Ruofeng was fed it before he could react.

"Master..." Helan Ruofeng was speechless for a moment as he looked at Taibu Xingjun, who had a triumphant look on his face.

"My dear disciple, the elixir from Immortal Lord Xiaobai is hard to come by, so how can you refuse it outright? Your master has already accepted it for you, so don't be polite!" Taibu Star Lord finally got the top-grade Ningyuan Pill that he had coveted for a long time, and he smiled with joy.

Bai Qiyang knew that Old Lady Bu had always wanted to use the Ningyuan Pill to help Weiqing ascend to heaven as soon as possible, and what he did today was just to lend him a helping hand.

"This top-grade Ningyuan Pill takes a certain amount of time to digest. Should we continue north or return to the east?" Bai Qiyang thought for a moment and asked again.

"Of course, we have to go north. My good disciple has to follow the footsteps of his sweetheart. If he doesn't keep up, how can they cultivate their feelings? If they don't cultivate their feelings, when will they be able to achieve the right result? When will my disciple be able to successfully overcome the tribulation?" Taibu Xingjun always believed that he would not be willing to ascend until all of Weiqing's wishes in the human world were fulfilled.

"Old fortune teller? Is this really feasible?" Bai Qiyang didn't quite believe what Taibu Xingjun said.

"This is the only solution for now. Does Immortal Lord Xiaobai have any other solution?" Taibu Xingjun looked at Bai Qiyang in embarrassment.

"I don't know, so just follow what the old fortune teller says!" Bai Qiyang replied.

Anyway, he also wanted to take Cong Li for training, and he could also go to the Far North to investigate what the relationship between the snow monster and his brother was.

Crescent Royal City...

On this day, Lan Moqiu, who had not entered the palace for a long time, went to the front of Concubine Lan's palace again and stopped. After standing for a long time, he couldn't help but go in and sit for a while.

In the distance, Cui'e beside the Empress Dowager was watching this scene quietly. Seeing Lan Moqiu go in, she hurriedly turned around and went back to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

"What's the matter?" The Queen Mother's gloomy voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, the high priest stood in front of Concubine Lan's palace for about half an hour before going in." Cui'e replied.

"Really..." The Queen Mother widened her eyes and asked again.

"I saw the high priest enter Concubine Lan's palace with my own eyes, and then I came back to report it." Cui'e replied solemnly.

"How dare this high priest go to the Lan Palace so blatantly? Could it be that the two of them have already been in collusion?" The Queen Mother said suspiciously.

"Empress Dowager, the high priest started going to Concubine Lan's palace after the current emperor ascended the throne. I boldly guess that his majesty, could it be... could it be..." Cui'e was thinking but never said it out loud.

"Cui'e, you grew up with me. Is there anything you dare not say in front of me?" asked the Queen Mother in a deep voice.

"Empress Dowager, I guess that the current emperor is not of the late emperor's bloodline, but of the high priest and Concubine Lan..." The meaning of Cui'e's next words was self-evident.

"How dare you! You make random guesses without any evidence. However..." A hint of viciousness flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.

"What is the Queen Mother's plan?" Cui'e asked cautiously.

"You keep watching, don't alert the enemy. I will think about it." The Queen Mother said and began to fall into deep thought.

She must make good plans for her son and not let Jin Yu remain silent.

No one dared to mess with Lan Moqiu, but in the Queen Mother's view, the trust and respect of civil and military officials in him was only because he was loyal to Xinyue and the Jin family.

If the court officials knew that the emperor chosen by the high priest who was devoted to the country was not of royal blood, but the illegitimate child of him and the Lan family, no matter how highly respected Lan Moqiu was, he would probably have to give up the throne obediently.

At that time, the throne will belong to Jin Yu, and the position of high priest can also take this opportunity to disappear from the Crescent Moon Dynasty, and the civil and military officials will no longer be subject to this strange priest position.

Lan Moqiu was indeed very conceited, so much so that he never took the palace servants who followed and monitored him seriously, and lived his life leisurely and comfortably every day.

Jin Xuan was very worried about this, so he arranged for someone to secretly monitor the Queen Mother. As an emperor, he had to take into account more, not only the peace and stability of the country, but also the stability of the imperial power.

Back to Yu Xiaobai and the others, they traveled all day during the day. When it got dark, the disciples of Yunji Villa settled in a dilapidated temple outside a village called Biluo.

Under Zhou Ze's command, Tong Yi and a few followers went to the surrounding mountains to collect dry firewood for firewood. Originally, the group planned to use the dry food they stored, but Xing Fang and his men went out to hunt several rabbits and pheasants.

Now that they had firewood and game, Zhou Ze saw that they had done nothing wrong, so he just let them do what they wanted.

Yu Xiaobai also wanted to roast the game. He glanced at them several times, but when he thought about how these people had bullied him before, he became worried again.

"Junior Sister Xiaoyu, come here, I'll roast this one for you." Xing Fang diligently handed a prepared rabbit to Yu Xiaobaiyan.

"No need, I can catch it myself." Yu Xiaobai saw that there were still many tiny hairs on the chicken, which showed that it was not cleaned properly. His throat felt itchy unconsciously, so he said.
