The villain always thinks I'm stupid

Seeing the Gouyue fruit, one of the five treasures, in front of his eyes, Ye Mingjue brazenly accepted the title of Light of the Righteous Way, and while listening to the endless praise from the elders, he stared straight at the Gouyue fruit. Look at the moon fruit.

Who would have thought that it would be so easy to get it, it was like a pie falling from the sky, and it fell directly into his hands.

Ye Mingjue, who had been so unlucky in the past, felt relaxed for the first time, and even the flashing doubt in his mind of "why the crescent moon fruit that grows in the forbidden forest appears here" dissipated in an instant .

Even in the face of the elders' flattery, he could not blush without heartbeat, and remained expressionless and humble throughout the whole process: "I'm still far behind."

"I can't bear this title, and I am ashamed of it."

"It is the result of the joint efforts of the elders."

But after all, the prize has never been put down.

Seeing his dignified posture on the stage, Bai Lian in the audience couldn't help but chuckled.

His smile brought a slight blush to his cheeks, which made his face, which was originally as white as suet, look a little paler than before.

Ye Mingjue didn't notice it when he was still on stage, Elder Hu who had been secretly poking and observing Bai Lian's face became the first person to notice.

A trace of worry flashed across his face, and he immediately sent a voice transmission to Bai Lian's ears: "Old Ancestor, are you feeling ill?"

The curvature of Bai Lian's lips converged, and he glanced at him with a sideways smile: "You are quite sharp-eyed."

"It's nothing, it's just that I spent some energy when crossing the Forbidden Forest, it's not a problem."

What he said was calm, but Elder Hu was keenly aware of the danger involved, and couldn't help being shocked.

Where is the Forbidden Forest? It is the most mysterious low-level forest that hinders the north and south. As long as you step into it, you may be trapped in it for the rest of your life and cannot escape. Even Elder Hu, who has already reached the seventh-level golden lotus, dare not rush into the Forbidden Forest. Lian went in ordinary, and returned with the treasure in just three days.

"...As expected of the ancestor!" Elder Hu respectfully said, "The only one in the world who can obtain the Moon-hooked fruit is the ancestor!"

Bai Lian yawned lazily, but accepted the praise without humility at all: "That's right, if Ye Mingjue alone searched for it, he might not be able to cure the poison until he died."

Seeing his faintly exhausted appearance, Elder Hu was both puzzled and emotional: "Why did the ancestor help that person like this? He...should be a member of the Demon Sect. He was the Demon Emperor who was killed by the ancestor himself thousands of years ago." successor."

If the old Bai Lian would not easily tell others what she thinks, she would just close herself in her own world and watch all this with cold eyes.

However, maybe it was because he was in a good mood today, maybe the sun was shining brightly, or maybe Ye Mingjue on the stage was so dazzling, Bai Lian actually chuckled lightly, and said flatly: "There is no reason, probably because this person is so interesting, Interestingly, I am not willing to let him die for the time being."

As he said this, a gentle arc gradually appeared on his face, and even a warm glow appeared in his brown eyes.

"And seeing him with a normal smile... feels good too."

A sound transmission was so subtle that it was almost indistinct. Elder Hu showed some curiosity, but carefully sized Bai Lian, and didn't dare to ask. He just knew that the ancestor was in a very good mood today, just like the person on the stage. .

"So, the problem lies with that person named Bai Lian, not Ye Mingjue?"

Dressed in white, tall and tall, the man with three thousand loose hair behind his head stood there with a smile on his face.

And in front of him stood an old man with an old face, it was Ma Santong who was known as Bai Xiaotong.

At this time, facing the man in white who was questioning him, he respectfully nodded and bowed slightly: "What Master Yan said is that there is no difference between Ye Mingjue and the one we investigated, the only one who has changed is this man named Bai Lian. , to be honest, even the old man can’t find out his information.”

"Oh?" Yan Zhao finally became interested in the words, and a faint light appeared in his dark eyes.

He was not interested in Bai Lian and Ye Mingjue before because he felt that Ye Mingjue's life was impossible to survive.

But as time passed, not only did Ye MingJue not die, but he also gradually recovered his cultivation, which made him gradually pay attention to it.

It seems that it is wise to send two people from the village to inquire about the information first, so he quickly set his sights on the important person.

Just now, you leisurely rushed to the mountains near Wujizong to meet Ma Santong, Yan Zhao was full of interest, and continued to inquire, "What else do you know?"

Ma Santong briefly talked about the imprisonment of the Snake House and how Bai Lian and Ye Mingjue jointly solved the poisoning incident. There is only one owner, and now there is another one."

"His strength is unknown and his identity is unknown. The old man suggests that it is better not to contact rashly."

Yan Zhao had already heard about the Snake Shop from Niu Manke, but because the Snake Shop was asking for trouble, he just blasted a hole near the prison, then left indifferently and rushed to the Wuji Sect again, where the Snake Shop would It won't come out, he doesn't care, and doesn't want to bother.

At this time, Yan Zhao's mind was full of Ma Santong's description of Bai Lian, and his face became more serious: "He has a casual and unrestrained temperament, his strength is unknown but cannot be underestimated, and he can't find the secret... Could it be..."

A white figure flashed in his mind, Yan Zhao took a quick breath, and immediately asked: "Where is he now, take me there, I want to see him right away."

The next match will be held in two days.

Yulianmen won the well-deserved No.1, so there is no need to worry about the number of participants.

On the contrary, those who are physically weak due to poisoning should think carefully, because the second competition requires nine people to participate together, as long as one person is in poor condition and loses the qualification, he will be insulated from the competition.

But those are all things that each sect needs to consider. What should the Jade Lotus Sect do? The whole atmosphere seems extremely relaxed.

Only Bai Lian and Ye Mingjue felt a little strange in the atmosphere.

Bai Lian showed a smile as usual, but Ye Mingjue was obviously a little angry, not to mention the terrifying aura exuding from his body, even his eyes seemed to be frosted.

Han Feiwen was the first to scratch his head and couldn't wait to ask everyone in a low voice: "What's wrong with them?"

No one could answer his words, they all looked at each other and shook their heads, only Senior Brother Zhou said with a smile: "Maybe it's just a quarrel between couples, let's wait and see what happens."

Han Feiwen had no choice but to swallow back the desire to gossip, turned his head to Qian Yongsi and said, "Hey! I was curious when I saw them. Let's go down the mountain for a walk. I heard that there is a shop under the mountain that tastes really good. , try it together."

Although Qian Yongsi had a straight face, she only said: "I'll go as soon as you treat me."

Han Feiwen glared at him: "You are so rich and you still want me to treat you, no, you can treat me this time!"

The two left after arguing, Senior Brother Zhou couldn't help laughing: "These two people have gotten along so well in just a few days, and they are still children after all."

Seeing the harmonious side of sword and law cultivators who are incompatible with fire and water, Hua Xinghe also looked soft and relaxed: "Senior Brother Zhou, there are some moves of sword cultivators that I want to study, are you free for a while?"

Zhou Chang naturally agreed.

Several people left, the scene was warm, only Bai Lian was still smiling and looking at Ye MingJue: "Why don't you talk? It's not like you."

"Is there?" Ye Mingjue kept his eyes fixed, and was extremely indifferent, "I've always been like this."

Seeing his extremely stinky face, Bai Lian almost laughed out loud: "Is that why you want to know where I'm going?"

Ye MingJue bit him to death: "I don't want to know."

However, after being silent for a while, he added: "But we are a grasshopper's people. If you act without authorization, you need to notify me in advance, instead of making me wait for three days."

"Oh?" Bai Lian showed surprise, "Could it be that Brother Ye has been worrying about me for three days?"

Ye MingJue: "How is it possible!"

His tone became a little hasty, and Ye Mingjue's face showed an unnatural stiffness.

The more wavering he showed than usual, the more Bai Lian was willing to tease him. Just as he was about to say a few more words to see how he threw away his armor, at this moment, an inexplicable sight made him freeze for a moment, Almost reflexively turned his head to look in that direction.

What came into view was a fairly winding path, winding and secluded, and it was hard to see who was hiding inside.

Bai Lian's brows were tightly furrowed, and a strange feeling appeared in his mind.

Although he didn't know who was looking at him, the gaze made him quite uncomfortable, as if he was being stared at by the coldest snake, his scalp tingled and his hair stood up in every move.His cultivation is already at the top of the world of cultivating immortals. If he can feel this way, the person who comes here must have a good cultivation.

Maybe it's the person behind it!

Thinking of this, Bai Lian couldn't stand anymore. Ye Mingjue, who was beside him, saw him staring in one direction, and looked at him a couple of times in doubt, but didn't notice anything. He just wanted to call him back. Concentrate on continuing to educate, but Bai Lian suddenly broke into a smile, and hurried away to the distance:

"Suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, why don't we talk about it next time."

After saying this, he had already retreated a few meters with the wind on his feet, Ye Mingjue choked on his throat full of words, he insisted not to say it, and in the end he could only flick his sleeves with an even uglier expression, and sneered.

Bai Lian quickly came to the suspicious location and checked carefully, but found no sign of anyone.

It seems that the people who came noticed him and immediately hid his figure, very cunning and sharp.

Bai Lian regretted not being able to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, walked around the area three times, and found a conspicuous white paper on the ground.

Spreading it out, I realized it wasn't paper, but someone's drawing.

In this painting, there is only a figure of a man, wearing a snow-white robe, standing between the vast sky and the earth, looking like he is indomitable.

But there were no facial features drawn on his face, it was just blank.

It's just such an ordinary portrait, but Bai Lian's brows furrowed little by little, and a faint unease lingered in her heart.

He felt that the portrait was very human.

A person he knew very well.

——Sacred Monarch Shenglian!

That's right, whether it's the sword on his waist or this figure, the more Bai Lian looks at it, the more he feels that it's him.

Even the system chimed in and said, "You draw with some charm."

Bai Lian remained silent, why did his portrait appear here without facial features?Doubts swirled in his mind, and in the end he could only temporarily put the painting in his sleeve, turned and left.

He knew that it would not take too long before he would reunite with the person behind the scenes!

At that time, all the secrets will be revealed.

Two days later, the second competition was held as scheduled.

The location of the competition is a mystical secret realm. It is said that the suzerain of the Wuji Sect discovered it a long time ago. He originally planned to train his disciples, but it happened that Master Shenglian had asked him to use it as a checkpoint.

The rules of this competition are also very simple. Everyone will spend a week in the secret realm, and when they come out, whichever sect obtains the most heaven and earth spirit treasures will be the winner.

However, the rules are simple, which means that the means are diverse and free. No one knows what happens in the secret realm except the person involved. Even if it is killing other sect disciples and plundering treasures, it is free and there are countless possibilities.

With such an anxious and expectant mood, everyone gathered in the Promise Sect, waiting for batches to enter the illusion.

"Entering the illusion may cause you to be separated from your companions. How to reunite smoothly is also one of the tests."

The elder of the Wuji Sect made a reminder, which made it even more difficult for everyone to calm down.

Thinking that he might be separated from Bai Lian, Ye Mingjue frowned as if he could kill a fly.

He suddenly thought of a magic weapon in the storage bag, as long as both parties wear it together, it can bind each other and will not separate.

After taking out the magic weapon and handing it to Bai Lian without even thinking about it, Ye Mingjue paused suddenly, remembering the fact that he was still in a cold war with Bai Lian.

If he handed over the magic weapon to Bai Lian at this time, wouldn't it mean to reconcile first?

Ye Mingjue hesitated.

But when he calmed down and analyzed it, he felt that everyone had secrets that he couldn't tell, and he was extremely annoyed because Bai Lian didn't tell him the itinerary, which was really unreasonable.

Besides, why is he so angry? He and Bai Lian are just using and being used normally. As long as it doesn't involve him, he shouldn't care about what Bai Lian wants to do.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he felt, Ye Mingjue couldn't help being upset, unable to understand this mess of emotions.

Seeing that as the first group, Jade Lotus Gate had to pass through the secret realm, he took a deep breath and threw the magic weapon to Bai Lian coldly: "Put it on."

Bai Lian was caught off guard that there was an extra magic weapon in his arms, and when he took a closer look, his face suddenly became extremely strange.

Because what he was holding in his hand was a small and exquisite ring.

In Ye Mingjue's hands... he was also wearing the same style.

Even if Bai Lian wanted to pretend he didn't see it, the meaning was a bit too obvious, she couldn't help but glance at Ye Mingjue's face, and couldn't help uttering a few words: "Is this... an engagement?"

Ye Mingjue: "..."
