"That's out of the question." Xia Jingge shook his head, "Master Li only locked us in the barrier, but he didn't feel sorry for us."

Liu Xiangchen saw that he was not reluctant, so he patted Xia Jingge's arm and motioned him to sit down.Xia Jingge sat down beside Liu Xiangchen, smiled into crescent eyes, and called out affectionately: "Senior brother."

Liu Xiangchen laughed when he heard this call, "It's still the same as when I was a child."

"Is there?" Xia Jingge replied shyly. "I'm just happy to see my brother."

"Yes." Liu Xiangchen smiled, and seemed to sigh slightly, "It's better that it hasn't changed, it's better than anything else." Xia Jingge was taken aback for a moment, and then heard him say, "Actually, you haven't changed in 12 years. It’s also bad for senior brother that you have been out of that barrier. I already guessed that you were imprisoned somewhere in the Cloud Sword Sect, but I have not been very sure. I am far away from the Cloud Sword Sect. If I want to investigate, I have to find an opportunity. The progress has not been Great. If Li Yuchong hadn't been too careful and turned the garden into a forbidden area, I probably haven't noticed such an ordinary garden that anyone can walk in. Besides, the senior brother was still wandering around Jindan a few years ago. I entered Nascent Soul only after I came out of retreat at the end of last year, if it was before... I am afraid that if I find you back early, I will not be able to protect you well."

The smile on Xia Jingge's face narrowed a little, and she said in a low voice: "I understand, senior brother must always be more considerate. In fact, Fu Ling and I were very happy in the enchantment. Fu Ling and I originally planned to After cultivating a higher realm and then coming out, but headmaster Li had the desire to kill him, we had to run out ahead of time. In fact, he turned the garden into a forbidden area, probably not to guard against others, but to guard against Fu Ling's sudden death A large amount of devilish energy burst out, and people passing by noticed it." Speaking of this, Xia Jingge laughed happily again, "He would never have thought that Fu Ling's devilish energy would be sucked away by me as soon as it came out. As long as With me around, the devilish energy he cast cannot exist for a long time."

"Sucked away by you?" Liu Xiangchen looked surprised.

"Yes, I haven't discussed this with my senior brother yet." Xia Jingge introduced that his body actually possesses the powerful function of transforming devil energy.The two started from this logically, and told each other about their parting feelings in the past 12 years. When talking about the battle situation that day, both of them almost shed tears, but they didn't really shed tears in the end.

Xia Jingge had already made an oath to himself, and Liu Xiangchen was restrained and prudent, otherwise, he would not be able to take charge of the Nine Flowers Sect.

Although there were only a dozen or so underage Jiuhua sect disciples that day, Liu Xiangchen was not a major disciple of the sect, he started late and was not very old. Among the ten or so people, he had four senior brothers above him.Although the qualifications of those four senior brothers were not as good as Liu Xiangchen's, it was good that they got started earlier, practiced longer, and their abilities were not much lower than him.Although Liu Xiangchen's seal of sect master was witnessed by several elders, it was obtained hastily in a crisis, and not everyone listened to him at first.It was also his luck, they were besieged by the demons' chasing soldiers, and Liu Xiangchen was able to transform into the golden core in a crisis, saving everyone's life, and only then was he fully recognized as the heir.

Later, the news that the demon lord had completely slaughtered the entire Jiuhua faction reached their ears, and Liu Xiangchen's succession did not cause any backlash.

Whether it is people who have experienced it or those who have never experienced it, they will not be too willing to mention it repeatedly. If people are too sad, they will subconsciously avoid it.Therefore, Liu Xiangchen didn't go into details, but said: "Master saw that the momentum was wrong, and told us to pack up and take refuge in the world of mortals early on. I don't know what happened in the next two days. There are many rumors in the market that want to come to you I have heard it before, although there are differences in those side details, it is generally the same, the devil leads the crowd to attack, the master and others are defeated, and the devil kills them all."

Xia Jingge did know about this a long time ago. He heard it mentioned by Yunjian Sect disciples that day, and later Li Yuchong also mentioned it. Although it is not detailed, it is roughly the same as what Liu Xiangchen said. , that's basically the case.He was silent for a while, he calmed down, and finally managed to smile and said: "What did you say? Let's talk about the magic absorption on me. Before I was imprisoned, I also encountered demons." Looking for me, I suspect that the Demon Lord actually knows that my greatest role is to absorb magic energy, and I even suspect that they know that I need to absorb magic energy to increase my cultivation base. The reason why they only mention me as a cultivation assistant may be because I hope that I can be imprisoned until I die in a place full of monks. But the devil has calculated everything, and he probably didn’t count that I will be imprisoned with a demon.” Xia Jingge said this, with a smile on his face Don't force it anymore, it seems that when he mentions Feng Fuling, the whole person will become happier.

"... Makes sense." Liu Xiangchen stared at him for a moment, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea.Although Liu Xiangchen also looked surprised when Xia Jingge started talking about his physical condition, but he quickly calmed down and accepted this shocking secret.He drank tea, put the teacup on the table, and said, "The demons are mysterious and scheming, and they are not satisfied with occupying half of Shenzhou. They have made troubles in the five major strongholds these years. If the demon king knew about you early It’s not surprising that you can’t find you because of how much damage it can cause to them.”

"En. I wonder why the devil knows so much about me. How did he know that I, a little-known child with five spirits, has such a strange ability? By the way, brother, my father, he had Tell you something?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiangchen tightened his index finger and middle finger, which were loosely clasped on the table, his eyes moved from Xia Jingge's face to the window lattice behind him, and the protective barrier outside the window.The translucent bright color shone slightly and far away in his eyes.

Xia Jingge thought he was remembering and didn't rush him.Until Liu Xiangchen came back to his senses, looked at him and said, "Time was running out at that time. Master only asked me to take care of you, Junior Brother, after I found you, and didn't mention this matter. ... Master also probably didn't know the original You can also convert magic energy."

"As expected...Father, he probably didn't expect that I can actually practice." Xia Jingge also thought that his father would not know more, otherwise he should have mentioned it to himself, so he didn't agree with Liu Xiangchen's statement at all. No surprise, but he said with emotion, "I don't really need protection from others now."

Liu Xiangchen hesitated to speak, but he didn't answer the words, but turned to say: "Your friend, how are you going to arrange it? I won't let you live outside the Jiuhua sect, and I won't let him step into the Jiuhua sect." Pie the gate."

"Why?" Xia Jingge stood up suddenly, seeing Liu Xiangchen sitting still, just staring at herself, realized that she was too excited, and slowed down her voice to persuade, "Brother, you don't know, Fu Ling and the other demons are not Similarly, he grew up in the world of mortals without father and mother, and always thought he was a human being. He has no sense of identification with the demon race, and I discovered the identity of the demon, and he will never join forces with other demons."

Liu Xiangchen seemed unmoved, and only asked, "Do you know how the Jiuhua Sect was breached back then?"

"I..." Xia Jingge had a bad premonition, and said after stumbling, "I roughly want to get it."

"You can't think of it." Liu Xiangchen said, "It's Uncle Yun, you know that he likes to go out and about in the world of mortals, free and unrestrained, and he made friends with a demon there and made him his confidant, so he disregarded the battle of cultivating demons and let go of his guard. I often chat with him over wine. That's how it was, the demon took advantage of his drunkenness to steal a lot of information about the deployment of the faction, and my Jiuhua faction was so caught off guard."

"Uncle Yun?!" Xia Jingge was taken aback, and accidentally kicked the leg of the chair with his back heel, causing pain to his heart.

"Yes, even though Uncle Yun is guarding the Tianzhu, the Jiuhua Sect can't save it." Liu Xiangchen took a breath slowly, as if recalling the tragedy of the burning clouds that day, "That demon's name is Qianye, lied to him For many people, he obtained almost all the defense information of all sects in the sixth, seventh and eighth heavens."

"It's not just Master Yun who was cheated?" Xia Jingge was taken aback again, "That devil, how did he do it?"

"This is what makes him so powerful. It is rumored that he has thousands of faces, and these faces are like leaves, with different appearances and personalities. He is good at analyzing information, trying to figure out people's hearts, and is good at deception, deceiving people without making them Suspicion. His only weakness is the common problem of most demons, that is, he cannot completely restrain his demon energy, and he cannot completely conceal his identity in front of monks who can distinguish his energy. Therefore, the best way to prevent being deceived by him is to never contact demons. We will never disclose important information about the faction to outsiders." After Liu Xiangchen finished speaking, he looked at Xia Jingge calmly.

"..." Xia Jingge understood what he meant, and immediately shook his head and said, "Fu Ling is really different, he won't betray me, and he won't tell any demon about me."

Liu Xiangchen's expression was cold, and he said: "You can absorb the devil energy of two little devils, you can absorb the thick devil energy in an area, and it will be restrained only on your friend? You said he is an orphan, you Didn't you ever think that he is unusual?"

"I've thought about this...but what does it matter? Fu Ling really doesn't think of himself as a demon in his heart."

"A demon with an unusual identity can easily regain his identity. He won't betray you now because he is still alone. He has no one but you. When he regains his identity one day, you can see how he is."

Xia Jingge was momentarily stunned and unable to speak.In his heart, he felt that Fu Ling was credible, but he didn't seem to be able to find a suitable reason to convince his brother thoroughly like a Jedi counterattack.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Liu Xiangchen didn't force him very much, and finally said: "In short, I will never let a demon step into the inner city of Jiuhua Sect. We will stay in Jiangyun City for more than [-] days, please take care of yourself." Think about it." Liu Xiangchen got up, walked to the door, turned around and said, "Junior brother, I will not watch you become the second Uncle Yun."

Xia Jingge was taken aback, then turned to look at Liu Xiangchen, who had already opened the door and left.Xia Jingge only had time to see a pine-like back, and the breeze left by that back in his field of vision, a silver embroidered light and shadow intertwined, like flowing water and moonlight, brushing against his eyelids, and then But the disappearance was blocked by a wooden door that was not thick.

Xia Jingge stood in a fragmented area that was only illuminated by half of the moonlight. The left half was a seemingly invisible enchantment that could be penetrated by the moonlight, and the right half was a shimmering dim light.These two things made his shadow appear stable and obedient for a while, swaying wildly for a while, integrated into one body for a while, and seemed to be cut in half for a while, and there was no fixed time.

Not very far from Xia Jingge's room is Feng Fuling's room.

Ever since entering this room, Feng Fuling was a little irritable.He sat in the room for a while, and wanted to go out to find Xia Jingge, so he opened the door and saw two door gods standing at the door, one asked him where he was going, and the other asked him directly if he was looking for Xia Jingge. Martial Uncle, he also said that now the head of the sect is with Xia Jingge, it will be very inconvenient for him to go there at this time.It seemed to stop Feng Fuling directly at the door.Feng Fuling cast a cold glance at the two door gods, closed the door, and went back to sit in the room.

Later, it was too boring, so I simply sat on the bed and practiced by myself.After an unknown amount of time, Feng Fuling suddenly felt the window creak, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a figure jumping into the window.The figure made a hissing gesture, then turned around and quietly closed the window.If you enter your own room, there is no intention of seeing outsiders.

It was none other than Xia Jingge.

Feng Fuling sat cross-legged on the bed and did not move. When he walked to the bed, he asked in a low voice, "How did you climb in through the window?"

Xia Jingge rubbed her nose in embarrassment, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said: "I'll just sleep here for a while, wake me up early tomorrow morning, and I'll go back to my room."

"..." Feng Fuling also changed his sitting position, sat on the edge of the bed, next to Xia Jingge, leaned over his body, saw that his eyes were tired, and asked, "Can't sleep?"

Xia Jingge became more and more embarrassed, and said falteringly: "I always feel like I have some shortcomings, and I'm not used to it, so I came to sleep with you quietly. Are you practicing?"

"Stop practicing, come to sleep." Feng Fuling lifted the quilt behind him, and quickly began to take off his clothes.
