When the main character is cheated by a butterfly

Zhou Qiran felt that he needed to regain his composure.

He thought so seriously.

And his method of calming down his emotions...is retreating.

How angry and sad I was before the retreat, but after I passed the retreat, it was like a sudden enlightenment, I figured out the things I didn't think through, and I can let go of the things after I figured it out.

Yunxiao Dabi became a bit dull after leaving the variable of silly ball, everything was old-fashioned.The excellent ones, the ones that should be eliminated, no one can escape this routine.The weird thing is that not only Zhou Qiran, the troublemaker, felt bored, but those spectators, after experiencing surprises and unexpected surprises in the competition field during the Qi refining period, also became a little uncomfortable with the plainness of the competition field during the foundation period—most of them participated in the competition. Or if you look at your background, you can guess who the balance of victory is tilting towards.

Although there were Jedi outbreaks, there were also wonderful duels, and there was even a match in which two powerful monks were divided together in advance, and a final-level match was forcibly started. In the end, one side eliminated the other to advance.

However, with the previous comparison, the current foundation building stage... is really boring.

What Zhuo An and Su Jie want is this stability.None of them have Zhou Qiran's personality.The competition in the Qi refining period is irrelevant, and there are relatively few disciples of his own sect involved, so he can mess around with him at will.But the foundation-building competition is a competition between several of their sects, and one more point of change is one more variable.The Yunxiu Pavilion of the Qiongxiao faction is the organizer, and it also needs to win the first place in this competition to show the strength of the sect.And the fact is exactly the same, often the competitions in the foundation building period will eventually evolve into a championship battle between the Qiong Xiao faction and the Yunxiu Pavilion.

The two of them are sitting at the main seat, so naturally they want to maintain a calm appearance, as if the boredom of the game has no effect.Compared with it, Tianshu Zhenjun, who almost wrote on his face that he was bored and wanted to make trouble, was much more friendly to the people.

At least a lot of monks had the weird feeling that "the original Nascent Soul boss is just as boring as me", and the more they looked at Zhou Qiran, the more pleasing they were to their eyes.It's just that if Zhou Qiran can absorb the coercion on him, he will definitely be more popular.

Zhuo An also knew that such an unchanging game was completely boring to Zhou Qiran.He's not that serious—ah, no, it should be said that Zhou Qiran is not the kind of existence who would wrong himself for the sake of other people's face, so he turned a blind eye to Zhou Qiran's actions.

With the development of the matter until now, he almost forgot that when he invited Tianshu over in the first place, it was to add to the gimmick of the Yunxiao Competition and bring some new atmosphere.From the very beginning, he never thought that Zhou Qiran could watch the game.

Not to mention Zhou Qiran, he also felt very bored after watching so many Yunxiao Competitions.

Zhou Qiran is not stupid either, he still has to wait for the Nine Folds Struggle for Strange Rocks after the end of the Yunxiao Competition. Although it is boring, he is more diligent than when he was signing in for class in the end.Although he has completely lost interest in the competition, Zhou Qiran insisted on passing the time by relying on those little things.

The schedule of the foundation building period is much shorter than that of the gas refining period. After all, all the participants are elites, and there are no such garbage occasions.As for the battle between elites and elites, it’s not fast if you say it is fast, and it’s not too slow if you say it is slow. After all, everyone is fighting quickly to decide the money.

Under such development, Yunxiao Dabi ushered in the real end after breaking away from the protagonist Qiu Boyu.

For Zhou Qiran, this is relief.

He yawned, and after explaining to Zhuo An, he turned his head and went to the Nine Folds Strange Rock to start tinkering with research.

Because the Nine Folds Struggle for Strange Rock is a high-grade spiritual weapon that involves formation chains, even at Zhou Qiran's level, it is still difficult to penetrate it right away.This could ignite Zhou Qiran's curiosity even more, so he sank into the rules inside the Nine Folds of Strange Rocks.

In fact, when the Nine Folds Struggle Rock was revising the rules, he had already studied it for a while, but he lacked some in-depth exploration.Now that he has the consent of the Qiongxiao faction and is free, he resolutely puts everything behind him and concentrates on studying the laws of the formation.

Zhuo An has seen many alchemists and equipment masters, and it is not surprising that Zhou Qiran, a talisman master who is considered similar to them, would have such an action.In desperation, he thought that anyway, Zhou Qiran had already vowed not to harm the Qiongxiao faction, and the Nine Folds Struggle for Strange Rocks was not something like the foundation of the sect, it was just a medium for the Yunxiao Dabi, so Zhou Qiran studied it casually up.

After Zhou Qiran memorized the formation map of the Nine Folds Fighting Strange Rock with his heart's content, and roughly summarized its main rules of use, a month or two had passed.

The monks who had gathered in Fen'an City for the Yunxiao Grand Competition had begun to disperse, and Xiong Laosi was also planning to pack up and return to Xinghua Town to continue to open the guest house.When he found Zhou Qiran approaching, the big man's face was full of joy, and he quickly opened fire to cook something for his benefactor.

And Zhou Qiran also wanted to know what tricks this big black bear could come up with in just two or three months.

"It's been a while since the Yunxiao Competition ended, why are you still here?" Zhou Qiran looked at the busy Xiong Laosi and asked.

Although you can get answers immediately with the system, there are some things that feel different when you ask them.

When Xiong Laosi heard this, his steady steps stopped.He looked at Zhou Qiran and said with a smile, "You don't know, my benefactor. I concocted some seasonings in this small courtyard. Then the disciples of the Qiongxiao Sect hurriedly asked me for jars of those seasonings. The Qiongxiao Sect did it for me. Liukelou has helped a lot, and it’s reasonable for me to do something small to give back to them.”

"Oh?" Zhou Qiran propped his forehead and said, "Have you been busy with this these days?"

"Almost." Xiong Laosi wiped off his sweat, "Thanks to Boy Qiu's suggestion!"

"Hmph." Hearing someone's name, Zhou Qiran snorted softly, his brows and eyes full of disgust for that person.

"However, I haven't seen Kid Qiu these days. Maybe it's because the game is over, where are you going?"

For Qiu Boyu, Xiong Laosi had a [-]% good impression.Just because he, like himself, has received the kindness of the true king and is always thinking of repaying his kindness, Xiong Laosi, who has always been simple and straightforward, regards Qiu Boyu as one of his own.Not to mention Qiu Boyu's series of behaviors after that, he studied cooking seriously and made feasible suggestions. Xiong Laosi was said to appreciate this kid a lot.

Xiong Laosi naturally knew Qiu Boyu's admiration for his benefactor, so he didn't mind mentioning Qiu Boyu a lot in front of his benefactor, so that his benefactor would have some impression of that young boy.It is an honor to know that in the world of comprehension, a Nascent Soul True Monarch has some impressions of you.

What Xiong Laosi didn't know was that Qiu Boyu in Zhou Qiran's heart was more than just "impressed".

Just as the conversation continued, the system that had been silent for a while in order not to affect Zhou Qiran's state suddenly made a sound.

[According to the body value, Xiaoqiu is in crisis. 】

"Crisis?" Zhou Qiran put down the teacup almost immediately.The tea was swaying, and the teacup landed firmly on the table, without dropping a drop for a long time.And Zhou Qiran's attention was attracted almost immediately, and he hurriedly asked the system, "What happened?"

【Yes. 】

When Xiong Laosi came back, he only saw an empty seat and the handwriting of "I'm leaving first".Apparently the visitor was in a hurry, so he made such a thing to inform others of his departure.

Xiong Laosi had no other reaction other than lamenting that the things that were baked did not make Zhenjun taste them.Then he turned his head and thought, which cultivator should the pot be given to Zhenjun's meal?

Those people have been very diligent in helping recently.

After finishing this batch of sauces, Xiong Laosi will set off to return to Xing'an Town to manage Liukelou.

In the air outside Fen'an City, the young man was sitting on the small boat he used to sit on, and was moving rapidly in a certain direction.

Obviously no one else was around him, but the man opened and closed his mouth, as if talking to someone else.Although he has suppressed it, when he speaks, the corners of his mouth always rise a little.

"It's been said that the aura of this kid's protagonist is sometimes ineffective, and being a protagonist is more embarrassing than anyone else. I remember when I first saw him, he was about to lose his braids, right?"

The young man was advancing very fast. Although there were complaints in his mouth, it was clearly not the case on the surface.He seemed to be expecting something, but realized that his expectation was not good, so he suppressed his emotions.

Holding back, the young man couldn't help recalling this episode to the system.

"If I remember correctly, the Qiongxiao faction has a traitor who has colluded with Moxiu and is planning to seize the treasures of Qiongxiao faction. The traitor's request is to let Zhuo Yexue die, and then the Moxiu..."

[According to the data, the demon cultivator felt that Zhuo Yexue was very talented and good-looking, so he agreed to this condition and wanted to raise Zhuo Yexue as a furnace. 】

"Oh, yes, it's this plot, I really think that demon cultivator is too bad." Zhou Qiran frowned when he remembered this plot, "Others' families are trying to steal a sect because they want to grab some heirloom or something Peerless treasure, he thinks too much, he wants to push the traitor to the top and control Qiongxiao faction as a whole."

In Zhou Qiran's view, the plot in the original book is entirely for the protagonist to increase the favorability of the female character.There is a traitor who wants to seize his own power, and at this time there is a powerful existence that is not his own who insists on defending him, so the favorability is simply off the charts!

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiran's speed suddenly slowed down again.

【……What’s wrong with you? 】

Zhou Qiran's excitement and calmness came so suddenly that even the system that had been with him couldn't react, but looking at the data, it seemed that the situation was not very good.Looking at the reaction of the emotional data, Zhou Qiran seemed to have thought of something bad.

"It's nothing." Zhou Qiran said, "How is the silly ball?"

[The life fluctuation continues to be unstable, and it seems that he has encountered a crisis. If this continues, his blood may be stimulated. 】

Stimulate the blood, that is the time for the demon ball to appear.Thinking of what that state had done to him, Zhou Qiran suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.But it seems a bit embarrassing to think that after a few months, I am still struggling with such small problems.

Zhou Qiran straightened his expression and continued to fly towards Qiu Boyu's location given by the system.

The system looked at the data along the way and fell silent.

In the past, she felt that if this was Xiao Qiu's scheme, then the scheme would undoubtedly succeed.At least, when Zhou Qiran rushed to rescue the unexpected ball, he always looked impatient, not at all like now... so impatient?

It's like trying to get back a city.

But if you think about it carefully, this trend seems to have existed before.Zhou Qiran is always so soft-hearted when facing small balls.The system can feel it, Zhou Qiran didn't know when it started, from "the main character can't die because he wants to watch a movie" to now "I don't want him to die".

No, perhaps from the very beginning, Zhou Qiran felt somewhat guilty towards the protagonist Xiaoqiu because of the butterfly effect.Up to now, there is already a little taste that I can't let go of.

The territory of Qiongxiao faction is not far from Fen'an City.Following the positioning given by the system, Zhou Qiran almost rushed to the place where Qiu Boyu was at the fastest speed.Originally, he was still planning a wave of ridicule to hit that kid, wanting to see how depressed he looked, or reduce his favorability because of his sarcastic remarks—although it turned out that this was not very feasible.

As he imagined, the demon cultivator who colluded with his internal disciples to kidnap Zhuo Yexue many years ago appeared. He wore a gray-black robe with several patterns painted on it. He was confused with the Yaozu with their own racial characteristics.But the strong devilish energy around him showed his identity.

Moxiu laughed loudly, below were the injured Qiu Boyu and Zhuo Yexue.

"Qiu Boyu, how do we inform daddy now?" After these days, the more we searched Zhuo Yexue, the more frightened he became.

Qiu Boyu figured out the tricks of the Demon Cultivator to confuse people's minds, so he pretended to be ill and joined the Qiongxiao Sect from the very beginning, pretending to cultivate himself, but in fact he pretended to be asleep and waited for the big fish to take the bait.

The injured state is the most vulnerable state, and besides, his reputation must be getting more and more famous within the range that Yunxiao Dabi can radiate. If that magic cultivator is to attack Qiongxiao faction, he is such a good person who is waiting to be slaughtered. Lamb has no reason not to be targeted.

Sure enough, a few days later, a young disciple sneaked into Qiu Boyu's room.Probably because he didn't see whether Qiu Boyu was asleep, he walked around the room twice, as if he felt that Qiu Boyu's aptitude was much better than the usual Qi refining period, that little disciple was well prepared, and the incense Ah talisman, ah, all kinds of things, all prepared neatly.Then he began to arrange, trying to put Qiu Boyu in a state of panic, which would be easier for them to control later.

In this regard, Qiu Boyu said that life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

Because the reaction was all feigned, the little disciple didn't succeed until it was almost morning.Seeing that someone was coming soon, he could only pack up his things and leave quickly.

And this also fell into Qiu Boyu's arrangement.

In order to break the surface, as long as a small fish is exposed, the back can be pulled out and a large string of fish can be pulled out.What's more, Qiu Boyu has guessed the target of the traitor from the beginning, so the work efficiency is not a star and a half.

Finally, under constant investigation, the demon cultivator revealed some clues, and the disciple who hooked up with the demon cultivator couldn't sit still anymore, and kept obstructing Qiu Boyu and Zhuo Yexue's investigations. Unfortunately, the facts The proof is useless.

That demon cultivator knows some mind-sucking methods, and will plant a hint in the human brain to make him be controlled by the demon cultivator.However, such control is incomplete and can only slightly affect the life of the controlled person.But this method was urgently needed by the traitor of the Qiongxiao sect.He needs to gather the disciples in the sect and make an appearance that "will win people's hearts" so as to add points to his future life.

The innocent disciple of the Qiongxiao Sect was planted with hints, and although he couldn't figure out the reason, he was able to quickly become the new monk.

Yes, the member who colluded with Moxiu was Zhuo An's apprentice, without Zhuo Yexue, the successor of Qiongxiao Sect, Shu Yishan.

Now, Qiu Boyu and Zhuo Yexue finally followed the secret path that the Qiongxiao faction suddenly appeared, and found the mastermind behind the scenes—a demon cultivator.

And their actions completely angered Moxiu, who bombarded them indiscriminately, trying to kill the two young men.And the two of them were reckless this time, they didn't bring other people with them, and they left Qiongxiao's territory after going out of the secret way, even if they asked for help, they would not be able to solve the near fire.

When Zhou Qiran arrived, the bombing had been going on for a while, and the demon cultivator couldn't find Qiu Boyu and Zhuo Yexue in the smoke. He was holding his breath and looking for them.

And through the system, Zhou Qiran knew that the two men were hiding under the rubble, and they were driving Qiu Boyu's spiritual shielding formation to avoid the demon cultivator's search.

It's fun to say, the thing that prevents immortals from cultivating their spiritual consciousness can also guard against demon cultivators, probably because these two are essentially the same kind of existence.

Listening to the system revealing Qiu Boyu's current predicament, Zhou Qiran suddenly felt a little elated.It's about the kind of "So what if you are the protagonist? Are you miserable and waiting for someone to save you?"

However, he should have been injured by the demon's attack. As the system said, he has been in a state of unstable qi and blood, which belongs to the level of being seriously injured but not dead.Zhou Qiran snorted softly, and was about to use his strength to crush the magic cultivator who was equivalent to the immortal cultivator golden core, but suddenly felt a change in the air, which seemed to be slightly distorted.

Zhou Qiran was stunned for a moment, looking over, with the system's introduction, the identity of that person gradually became clear.

"Apprentice, who dares to bully you?"

It was Luo Yuanbai! !

Zhou Qiran paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Luo Yuanbai has always been an old hen, very protective of his cubs.Putting Qiu Boyu alone in the Eastern Territory, it is estimated that one is to train him, and the other is to cultivate his ability to grow independently, so as not to become the white-eyed wolf who asked for anything.Therefore, even if such a person would let his disciples run in the Eastern Region, he would definitely leave behind a large number of life-saving gadgets.

Because Qiu Boyu never used it, he forgot about it.

The old man has white beard and hair, is full of energy, and his eyes are shining brightly. He is completely different from the senility of ordinary old people.He suddenly appeared here, and the demon cultivator also committed a crime, and was grabbed by Luo Yuanbai, and asked, "Do you dare to hurt my apprentice?"

Zhou Qiran wiped the side of the boat, turned on the concealment effect of the boat, and sat there quietly watching a live broadcast of what is called a baby protector.

At that moment, nothing seemed to be the same.

【are you OK? 】

The system couldn't help asking.

She didn't know why Zhou Qiran was in such a weird mood, she could only infer his thoughts from his behavior.

I was excited when I heard that Xiaoqiu was injured. In fact, I wanted to have a direct and indefensible reason to see Xiaoqiu.She didn't know why she suddenly slowed down on the road or something. After arriving at the scene, she caught up with the occasion where Moxiu was teaching the two of them. people performing.

"It's nothing." Zhou Qiran said in a relaxed tone, "Why do you always look so worried?"

You really can't help worrying about your situation!

The system groaned.

[Do you want to say hello? 】

In fact, according to the data, with Luo Yuanbai's cultivation level, he must have discovered Zhou Qiran's existence just now, but since he did not show up, Luo Yuanbai will not reveal his existence.

Zhou Qiran was silent for a while, looking at where Qiu Boyu was.

The boy crawled out from the rubble, followed by a young girl.That level of magic repair is a piece of cake for Luo Yuanbai. In a short while, introducing each other, explaining the situation, and mixing various topics together, it may take a long time to talk.

Zhou Qiran watched for a long time.

How could he ignore it.Or, why did he keep forgetting about it?

In the past, only he would save the small ball.

And later, he stuffed the ball to Luo Yuanbai, who was his predestined master.From then on, Shaqiu was no longer that poor little boy who fell into a secret realm and had to run to rescue him.

It's just been ignored by myself.

Thinking about it now, a large part of Silly Ball's enthusiasm for him is based on the premise that he saved that kid.

Zhou Qiran lowered his head and thought for a while.

So now Silly Ball is finally afraid of being beaten, knows to stay away from him, and runs to Zhuo Yexue's side to play the plot.But now, there are more people who can save him and help him.

Although he is only a young man, he already has the aura of a future overlord.

Thinking of the demonized ball that was as difficult to deal with as a dog's skin plaster without fighting back, Zhou Qiran felt that he could celebrate a little and finally be able to stay away from this annoying guy.

Stupid and stupid, he doesn't even know how to protect himself, maybe one day a random palm can really slap him to death.

After clearing his mind, Zhou Qiran gradually retreated to another direction in a small boat.

【What are you going to do? 】

The system discovered his actions and immediately asked.

Emotional data shows that Zhou Qiran's current mood... is not good.

"Isn't it obvious?" Zhou Qiran said softly. "Anyway, I have nothing to do, of course I have to go to retreat."

On the other side, Qiu Boyu, who had regained his strength, seemed to sense something. He glanced at the distant sky, but he didn't catch anything.
