"It's not impossible, but you have to say clearly who you studied under and how the scar on your wrist came from."

The youth's pupils shrank slightly, "What kind of scar."

"In front of the old man, the child still wants to pretend," the old voice snorted coldly, "the scar on the left wrist has been around for a while."

Putting her left hand behind her back in silence, Jing Xi said in a deep voice, "How did senior know that I have a scar on my wrist?"

The old man said impatiently, "Children talk too much nonsense, do you want to show it or not?"

After pondering for a moment, Jing Xi slowly stretched his left hand forward, and silently grasped the hilt of the black iron sword with his right hand; in the darkness, he felt a few cold tentacles attaching to his arm, slippery and sticky as they stroked Passed his forearm, leaving slippery trails of mucus.

After these octopus-like tentacles entangled his forearm for a while, the old man snorted, "You are still a disciple of Xuanqingzong, you are an orphan, how old was your master when he picked you up?"

Unexpectedly, his identity was easily exposed, Jing Xi was alert in his heart, and said defensively, "What exactly do you want to ask, senior?"

"It seems that I was raised from a young age, and now it's more interesting," the old man said to himself, as if he was very excited to hear his voice, "This old man is even more curious about who your master is, such a cruel person, old man After living for thousands of years, this is actually the first time I saw it."

Hearing this, Jing Xi struggled to free her arm from the tentacles, frowned slightly, a little displeased, "The junior came here on purpose, just wanted to ask the senior about something, but the senior turned a blind eye again and again."

"If the senior has no solution, then the junior will leave first."

"Young children are really arrogant, and if you know a little bit of superficiality, you will be pretentious." Following the old man's sneer, the temperature around him suddenly changed, and there was a faint and cold voice, "Don't think that I don't know the purpose of your asking about this exercise."

"Even if the old man tells you that not only is this exercise not lost, but it is likely to be in the hands of your master, how long do you really think you can live?"

"A child with only half a month's life to live dares to challenge the old man, he is beyond his control."

With a flash of killing intent in his eyes, the young man spoke slowly, his voice hoarse, "Why are you so sure, senior, I don't have more than half a month to live."

"Hmph, I've lived for thousands of years with this old man," the old man sneered again, "I also pity your master for putting so much effort into raising such an unruly thing."

"The old man is tired, get out."

When the scenery turned around, when I opened my eyes again, I was already familiar with the scenery. The sun was setting and the birds were returning to the forest. Everything was quiet and beautiful.

Facing the sky-high Tianji Pavilion, Jing Xi lowered her head subconsciously, and lifted off her black clothes, a familiar and hideous scar was immediately exposed in the air.

These ten or so days may have been so beautiful that he almost forgot the existence of this scar.

"How? Did you get what you wanted?"

A laughing voice came from Bai Yi's ear, Jing Xi turned his hands away, and the old man with white beard not far away waved the whisk in his hand with a smile on his face.

Lowering his eyes, the young man looked at the inch-long dark red streak on his wrist, and was speechless for a while.

This way...he got the answer he wanted.

"The sacrificial method of the Nine Nether Devourers has been lost for many years. If it still fails in the end...it is also the teacher's fault, which made you suffer for nothing for three years."

The immortal is noble, with a cold tone, and his phoenix eyes without any emotion are calmly looking at the unconscious young man, the sharp knife in his hand reflects the cold silver light in the dim water curtain cave.

Ye Ling wore black clothes and looked down at the young man. After staring for a long time, he slowly squatted down, his eyes fell on the young man's muscular left arm, and he sighed helplessly.

The sharp knife pierced the old wound on the wrist, and the bright red blood slid down. The young man in the center of the stone slab frowned and groaned in pain.

The thin man wiped the sharp knife in his hand unhurriedly, threw the blood-stained white towel into a brazier, and whispered after a long time:

"The three-year period is coming soon, Xiaoxi, if you bear with it, you will be free."

......

Her brain uncontrollably recalled the illusion she was trapped in during the competition over and over again. Jing Xi walked on the mountain road back with a solemn expression.

He had heard about the "Dream Paradise" of the Nebula Sect, but it trapped the other party in the memories of the past and could not escape, so as to achieve a fatal effect.

But the illusion created by Xinglan is not his memory.

To be more precise, he knew nothing about the environment.If this illusion wasn't someone else's memory, it was fabricated by Xing Lan.

But even if he can spy on his own memory, the ancient evil method of Nine Nether Devouring Spirits doesn't seem to be fabricated.Besides, Xing Lan didn't know him before, so even if he wanted to trap himself intentionally, he didn't need to go to such lengths.

If this illusion is not false...

Master may really want to kill him.

In the past three years, Ye Ling's cultivation base has been difficult to break through, and it has long been a well-known secret in Xuanqingzong; he locked himself in Qingyun Peak to avoid the world, even his big disciple Yu Lian, only thought that he was in seclusion and devoted himself to cultivation .

But Jingxi is different.

Also three years ago, on the night of the full moon, he was forced to take a pill of poison. While in a coma, someone cut his wrist, sucked his blood, and suffered endless pain alone.

In the past, he didn't understand and didn't ask, and there was resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart when he was full of scars, but at that time there was always a voice in his heart telling him: Even if everyone in the world hates him, hurts him, and harms him, there is only one person who doesn't.

The man who saved him from the abyss will not harm him.

As the sun was setting and smoke was rising from the kitchen, the young man looked up at the endless mountain road in front of him, and silently clenched his fists.

Ye Ling was disturbed, put down the scroll in his hand, raised his head and asked Yu Lian who came in to add tea and water, "It will be dinner later, why hasn't Jing Xi come back?"

"Master, Jing Xi went to Tianji Pavilion to find opportunities."

"Fate?" Ye Ling frowned, wondering, "Didn't the top five go together in previous years?"

Yu Lian brought the added hot tea and various pastries to Ye Ling, and shook her head, "It's just an unwritten rule, besides, according to people from Xingyun Sect, Xinglan has many internal injuries on her body, and she is still awake. You can't be with us anymore."

"In this case, let him go," Ye Ling put the warm tea cup in his palm, fumbled for the rim with his fingertips, heard the rustling sound outside the room, and frowned, "The suzerain and the second prince are still in the main hall?"

Yu Lian glanced out and nodded.

Since Ye Ling came back from the competition arena, Si Yao and Xuanzhou have been discussing countermeasures in his study. Ye Ling wanted to go in several times, but he was not sure when he was about to get up, so he didn't think about it when the sun was setting. Come up with a countermeasure.

Sitting here is not an option, Ye Ling pondered for a while, put down his teacup and got up, went to the study with Yu Lian, knocked on the door three times, "Sovereign."

"Xiao Ling, have you talked to Jing Xi about reading the memory?" Si Yao asked.

Ye Ling shook his head silently, his mind was full of the expression of the young man when he left, and said in a deep voice, "Sovereign, I understand your difficulties, but I watched Jing Xi grow up, no matter what, I can't believe that he is dark guard.

"I don't think this decision is fair to Jing Xi."

Si Yao stood with his hands behind his back, and after hearing the words, his expression was a little dignified, and his tone became more serious, "But have you considered how Xuan Qingzong should deal with himself? Xuanzhou was invited by the immortal governor to investigate the hidden guards. If Xuan Qingzong doesn't give an explanation, the world will How would people see it?"

"You have always been a protector, and you used to be used to you, but you can't stand in the way of this matter."

Seeing that Ye Ling's expression became more and more ugly, Si Yao still softened his tone and gave a step down, "Besides, Xuanzhou has promised that you and I will protect the law when we probe the memory. Jing Xi will never be hurt in the slightest. It's just a probe. It's just a memory."

"It's just a memory search?" With a rising tone, Ye Ling took a step forward and looked directly into Si Yao's eyes, "Doesn't the suzerain know about Jing Xi's past experience?"

"Under the watchful eyes of everyone, you insist on uncovering all his past, what's the difference between pulling his skin out in public?"

Si Yao slammed the table, and the mahogany table shattered, sawdust scattered, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table fell all over the floor.The boy outside the door hurriedly ran in to check, but was shocked back by Si Yao's growl.

"go out!"

Xuan Zhou, who was watching with cold eyes, finally spoke at this moment, "You care about that kid so much, you would rather bear the infamy of a sinner in the world than protect him?"

"Jing Xi is my apprentice, there's nothing wrong with being a master protecting him," Ye Ling knew that his words were too aggressive, and he didn't dare to look at Si Yao anymore, so he could only turn his head and look at Xuan Zhou coldly.

"Besides, you don't have any evidence other than the water spirit ball. I don't believe you at all."

"Evidence will come sooner or later, but the pressure Xuan Qingzong is facing now, do you think you can change it just by refusing?"

Facing Ye Ling's cold eyebrows, Xuanzhou chuckled with great interest, walked slowly to his side, lowered his eyes in front of Si Yao, and blew softly on Ye Ling's earlobe, "Except for me, now No one can change the situation."

Ye Ling took half a step back, and said vigilantly, "You want to save him? Why?"

"It's you who want to save him, and I want to help you," Xuanzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled, he raised his long arms around Ye Ling's waist, and embraced himself, his beautiful face was full of smiles, "I didn't take out the I can let him go before there is stronger evidence, but you have to promise me one condition."

"What conditions."

"After the meeting is over, marry me immediately."
