After Si Yao finished his work, he took Ye Ling directly to the deepest ancestral hall in Chuyun Peak.

Qionglou Yuyu, with many terraces and pavilions, few people come to this ancestral hall hidden behind the splendor.Accompanied by a lingering plum fragrance, Si Yao led Ye Ling into the wooden house.

Looking at the neatly arranged ci tablets, Ye Ling found the tablet of Xuanqingzong's former suzerain, that is, his master, in the lower right corner of the highest position almost at a glance.

A faint sourness rose in his heart. Like Si Yao, Ye Ling seriously kowtowed three times in front of the old suzerain's tablet.

"Master said that you will be in great trouble when you turn [-], and now you can pass it safely," the two went for a walk in the grove behind the ancestral hall, only to hear Si Yao sigh with emotion, "I watched you grow up , Seeing that you are living well now, I am still very pleased."

Ye Ling, who said these words, felt a little uneasy, thinking that Si Yao was reluctant to leave him for a long journey, and quickly comforted him, "Brother, don't worry, I'll be back after the Demon Realm celebration."

"Xiaoling is different from me. You don't have to trap yourself in Xuanqingzong forever." Siyao smiled and stroked his head tenderly, with a trace of envy in his eyes, "Go and see the outside world more."

Among the former suzerain's four disciples, one Ye Lingbaixuan was obsessed with cultivation, the other was a family all over the world, and the other Ning Lingnan was left with a big responsibility. The mature and steady Si Yao was almost the only choice of the old sect.

In the eyes of outsiders, Si Yao was firmly seated at the head of Xuan Qingzong at a young age, but no one thought that that well-educated and modest man also dreamed of going out into the rivers and lakes and acting chivalrously and recklessly.

The years that should be spent most freely and unrestrainedly were restrained by the high position, watching the people around him respectful and alienated from him, and finally left silently.

These days, Si Yao always sighs that there is always a little apprentice who sticks to him all these years, so that he will not be too lonely.

The two returned to Si Yao's residence, and seeing Yun Xi and Jing Xi waiting outside the door early, the four of them went into Si Yao's study together.

The man took out two boxes from the cabinet at the far corner of the desk, and handed one of them to Ye Ling, "Bai Xuan and Ning Leng have already taken the ones left to us by Master before he passed away, and I have been waiting for you to get them."

Inside the box lay a letter quietly.

Opening the letter carefully, Ye Ling looked at the vigorous and powerful lines on the letter paper, and his eyes gradually got wet as he read it.

Clearly, he has never seen this old man who cherishes but is strict with him, but after reading between the lines, Ye Ling can gradually outline the appearance of the old man in his mind.

At this time, Yunxi heard a soft "Huh" beside Si Yao, and looked at the things in his box curiously.

Si Yao took out the jade bracelet from the box, a rare shyness appeared on his face, and he wanted to put the bracelet away as he spoke, "Master said to leave it for me to marry a wife, but it's useless now."

"It won't be useless," the young man smiled warmly at Si Yao, looking at the bracelet with sparkling eyes, "I like that bracelet, can master give it to me?"

Both Si Yao and Ye Ling were taken aback, only to hear Si Yao cough lightly, and said softly, "Yunxi, don't make trouble."

"I'm not making trouble," Yunxi smiled flatteringly, reached out to take the jade bracelet from Si Yao, and put it on his wrist without saying a word, "Master, look, the size is just right."

"Give it to me, Master, Yunxi really likes it."

Si Yao hesitated to speak, and tried to persuade him several times in a gentle voice, but Yunxi always managed to change the topic cleverly, but in the end he had no choice but to let it go.

In desperation, Si Yao had no choice but to compromise again, turned to look at Ye Ling, and asked him what was going on with Yu Lian.

After leaving the city gate, not to mention Yu Lian, the entire monster clan seemed to disappear out of thin air, and there were no traces of any living things in hundreds of cities, but all the people who went to find out never returned.

"Since you fell into a coma, Yu Lian seems to be a different person." Speaking of Yu Lian, Si Yao couldn't help frowning, "In the past, he was the most gentle temperament, but he didn't expect to kill people once he returned to the monster clan, but It took a long time to subdue the scattered century-old Yaozu."

"Those methods are so cruel and decisive that they are not like what a young man in his twenties can do, let alone Yu Lian."

Speaking of these, Ye Ling also felt doubts. What Yu Lian learned in Xuanqingzong was all defensive skills, but since he woke up, he often saw the extremely lethal moves of young people.

"The nine-tailed demon fox is a rare and extremely aggressive race," Yun Xi said behind Si Yao, looking down at the bracelet seriously, "Besides, the books that Yu Lian borrows every time at Wensu Pavilion, apart from medical classics, are some High-level offensive skills."

Xuanqingzong does not restrict disciples to practice, as long as their cultivation reaches a certain level, disciples can practice any high-level exercises by themselves.

Ye Ling frowned, "How do you know?"

"I've never liked him since I was a child," Yun Xi shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Once I was curious about what he was doing in and out of Wensu Pavilion all day, so I went to ask for his borrowing records. "

Jing Xi, who had never said a word, suddenly asked, "What are the medical books he borrowed about?"

"Variety, but most of them are about medicinal herbs and methods of strengthening the body." Yunxi looked serious when he saw the person, "I don't know the details. Wensu Pavilion should have records."

Before the words finished, Jing Xi had already opened the door and disappeared, leaving the three of them staring at each other.

The Demon Realm celebration was not far away, and the memorials were presented continuously. Jing Xi and Ye Ling could not procrastinate after two days of leisure in Xuanqingzong, and planned to leave after lunch at noon on the second day.

Jing Xi was still dealing with government affairs in the study, and Ye Ling couldn't bear to be disturbed, so she went to Chuyun Peak to bid farewell to Siyao.

The sun was shining brightly, Ye Ling walked all the way through the empty corridor, and when he found no one in the study, he finally came to Si Yao's bedroom.

Before he raised his hand to knock on the door, Yunxi inside the house had gently opened the wooden door, walked out of the house and bowed to Ye Ling in a respectful manner, "Is the Immortal Master leaving Xuanqingzong?"

Ye Ling nodded, seeing Si Yao sleeping on the couch from the corner of the eye, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and sighed softly, "Sovereign has been very hard these days."

The young man looked back, his eyes filled with endless tenderness, "The selection of the Immortal Governor is all done by the Master himself, and these days are really not enough rest time; let me send the Immortal Venerable, don't wake up the Master."

Rejecting Yunxi's kindness, Ye Ling turned around and walked a few steps, suddenly wanted to leave two lines of words for Si Yao, but turned back the same way but saw that the young man had already returned to the house.

The wooden door was not closed tightly, and through a gap, Ye Ling saw the young man leaning down slightly, and gently kissed the corner of the man's mouth.

Endless tenderness.

"Jingxi, do you think Yunxi also..."

Recalling the scene she saw when she left, Ye Ling still couldn't let go, frowning and looking at Jing Xi who was looking down at the memorial in the car, she couldn't hold back her question after all.

"Master, the word 'also' can be said to have used the essence." The young man put down the memorial, smiled lowly, turned his head and whispered to Ye Ling, "Did Master notice something?"

Explain the matter clearly in two simple sentences. Seeing that Jing Xi didn't show the slightest surprise on her face, Ye Ling was slightly surprised. Jing Xi and Yun Xi hadn't contacted each other for nearly three years. If Jing Xi knew about this matter, wouldn't it mean Yun Xi had had unreasonable thoughts about Si Yao three years ago...

"Yunxi and I are the same kind of people," Jing Xi stretched out her hands to smooth Ye Ling's temple hair, "In our world, there can only be room for one person forever."

Ye Ling was taken aback.

"I have asked myself too many times, whether I have a master-student relationship with my master or... have other plans," Jing Xi smiled, her eyes were extremely serious, "I later found out that I can't tell the difference myself."

"Ever since I had a skin-to-skin relationship with Master that night, my apprentice has found that these entanglements don't make much sense. Because no matter what—"

"Master is the only person I want to melt into flesh and blood to protect and love."

Ye Ling looked into the bright eyes of the young man, the reservedness and hesitation that had lasted for a long time suddenly disappeared, he suddenly leaned forward, and for the first time in a sober state, he took the initiative to kiss the young man's smooth forehead.

Counts as a silent response.

Yes, since the young man has taken 99 steps towards him, he will take the last step.

It was sunset and dusk when the two returned to the Demon Race, and after a hasty meal, Jing Xi didn't even have time to stay warm with Ye Ling for too long, and went all the way to the meeting hall under the escort of the right guardian.

For some reason, after Xuanqingzong and Yunxi talked about Yu Lian's borrowing of books, Jing Xi suddenly focused on Yaozu, and repeatedly checked the information with Guardian Right just before eating.

"What a coincidence," the young man held up a mouthful of food for Ye Ling, faced his confusion, and patiently explained, "Why is it that the records of the Wensu Pavilion were stolen on the second day that Master fell asleep? I can’t even figure this out.”

"As Yunxi said, the nine-tailed demon fox is one of the most aggressive demon clans," Ye Ling disagreed, "Yu Lian usually keeps a low profile, and it's not surprising that he practices some exercises in private."

Hearing the words, the young man still frowned, looked at the few browsing records left in his hand, and fell silent.

The night was deep, and the tired Ye Ling planned to take a rest early, but looking at the main hall still hung with bright lights in the distance, she sighed and lost her sleepiness, put on her clothes and went to the side hall study in the meeting hall.

From time to time, the voices of people discussing matters could be faintly heard, Ye Ling found a place in the room to sit down, looked at the slightly messy memorials and books piled up on the table, and stepped forward to help tidy them up.

Layer upon layer of books were piled up like a hill. Ye Ling divided the memorials into three piles and arranged them one by one. When he was about to put the books back on the shelf, his hand suddenly paused.

A piece of paper fell out of the book and landed at Ye Ling's feet.

Ye Ling bent down and picked up the note indifferently.

Jing Xi, who had finally finished the discussion, was rushing from the main hall with big strides, and the right protector in front of half a stick of incense hurriedly told him that Ye Ling was specially waiting for him in the study at the moment;

In the cold and foggy night, a thin man was wearing a thick woolen cloak and standing beside his bookcase, holding a piece of paper in his hand and looking at it carefully. When he saw himself coming in, the man's eyes didn't show much joy, but his face was calm and He asked him lightly:

"Can you tell me why you wear gloves all the time?"
