Please give me a chance to be a straight man

Then Jiang Xun handed a messenger talisman to Shen Xu.Shen Xu saw that it was from Ye Chen, and the main point of the letter was to ask him what the result of the competition was, with Jiang Xun present, whether Lin's father and son had made mistakes, etc., and at the end, he also mentioned some things about Tianxuanzong, which made him feel sad. Jiang Xun returns quickly.

After Shen Xu finished reading the letter, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with Ye Chen's greetings.After returning the letter to Jiang Xun, he couldn't help but ask, "Did Ye Chen take the wrong medicine recently? Why does it feel a bit strange?"

Jiang Xun looked at him suspiciously when he heard the words, and Shen Xu explained, "He used to be used to confronting me, and he would definitely choke me if he didn't say a few words. Why has he become friendly with me recently?"

Jiang Xun was silent for a moment, and his expression gradually became clearer.

Seeing Jiang Xun's appearance, Shen Xu probably knew something, and was about to ask him why, when suddenly Jiang Xun took out a small jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Xu.

Shen Xu took it over and looked at it for a while, then looked at Jiang Xun, and asked, "Give it to me?"

Jiang Xun nodded.

"It's not a holiday, why are you giving me a gift?"

Jiang Xun was puzzled when he heard the words, "Is there a reason for giving gifts?"

As soon as Shen Xu heard this, he thought to himself, as expected of a boss, he does everything according to his mood.

Seeing that Jiang Xun had no intention of taking back the jade pendant, Shen Xu said, "In that case, I will take it."

After speaking, the two fell into silence at the same time.

Shen Xu suddenly remembered that he hadn't had time to return the handwritten note he picked up in Jiang Xun's study before, so he quickly took it out of the storage bag and handed it to Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun's expression darkened when he saw the bookmark, and Shen Xu quickly explained, "I wanted to return it to you a long time ago, but something has delayed me, sorry."

Jiang Xun didn't speak, put the bookmark in his arms, then turned and left Xiaoyaomen.

Su Qian happened to pass by Jiang Xun, seeing his complexion, she said to Shen Xu, "Why, did you two quarrel?"

Shen Xu shook his head, "No."

Su Qian thought that Shen Xu was embarrassed to say so, so she patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said comfortingly, "It's okay, husband and wife fight at the end of the bed, maybe you will get back together in a few days."

Shen Xu "..."

Not long after Jiang Xun's side left Xiaoyaomen, Yujian quickly flew towards Tianxuanzong.But after returning to Tianxuanzong, he found that the sect was still as calm as usual.Jiang Xun went to Ye Chen's residence to find someone, and found that he was talking and laughing with a young man at this time.

And this young man Jiang Xun is quite familiar with, it is his childhood friend, Wen Ran, the first disciple of Luoxing Pavilion.

When Ye Chen saw Jiang Xun, he quickly called out, "Senior brother, it's really time for you to come back. Senior brother Wen just brought some special products from Luoxing Pavilion. Don't just stand there and come over and taste them."

Jiang Xun walked up to Ye Chen and sat down. He was not interested in seeing the fine wine in front of him, but turned to Ye Chen and said, "You said there is something wrong with the sect."

Shen Xu poured himself a glass of red fruit wine, and waved his hand when he heard the words, "I was afraid that you would be entangled by those disciples of Xiaoyaomen, so I deliberately made an excuse to let you get away. I didn't expect you to really take it seriously. Why don't you want to sink Ready?"

Jiang Xun rarely looked down, and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Don't talk nonsense."

Ye Chen has always respected Jiang Xun very much, seeing that he was looking unhappy at the moment, he didn't say any more.

On the contrary, Wen Ran became interested, turned his head and said to Jiang Xun, "Ah Xun, I didn't expect you to have something to hide from me. Who is this Shen Xu, please tell the truth."

"It's just a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect who I have met a few times by chance."

"Oh? That's all?"

Ye Chen couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Senior Brother Wen, don't listen to Brother Wen. He and Shen Xu have already signed a contract of living together and dying together. How can this be ordinary joy!"

Wen Ran was shocked when he heard it, because in his impression of more than ten years, Jiang Xun was definitely not a reckless person, and he would definitely not do such a thing unless there was a very special moment.

So he asked Ye Chen to explain what happened in detail.

After Ye Chen finished talking about everything, Wen Ran said, "So that's the case, then Jiang Xun's actions are justifiable."

"Shen Xu did save us many times before, but signing the contract of living together and dying together means sharing the pain of life and cultivation. Shen Xu is a very unreliable person. If something happens in the future, Brothers will suffer along the way."

"Junior Brother Ye, it's a bit impolite for you to say that. Ah Xun must have thought about it deeply when he made this move. Besides, you mentioned that Shen Xu has a problem with his personality. Maybe this shortcoming is in Ah Xun's eyes. Instead, what makes him different? Don’t you think so, Xun?”

Jiang Xun frowned slightly when he heard Wen Ran's words getting more and more outrageous.

Wen Ran felt that he had joked enough, so he closed his mouth in a timely manner.But after a while, he still couldn't hold back and said, "What does that Shen Xu you are talking about look like, and when will I bring it here for me to meet?"

"Wen, Ran."

When Wen Ran heard that Jiang Xun was angry, she quickly smiled and waved her hands, "Pretend I didn't say anything."

Then the three of them were quiet for a while.

Just when Ye Chen thought the three of them would sit face to face in silence for a day, Wen Ran suddenly remembered something, took out a metal cube from the storage bag and put it on the table.

Ye Chen looked down for a while, then looked at Wen Ran, "Senior Brother Wen, what is this?"

"A small magic weapon that can summon a sword array."

Jiang Xun was taken aback when he heard the words.Wen Ran didn't pay attention to the change in his expression, and raised his hand to inject spiritual power into the metal cube.Immediately afterwards, the metal cube unfolded from the middle, forming a compass shape, and then a magic circle emerged from it.Then, with the infusion of spiritual power, a small blue sword gradually flew out of the magic circle and began to hover above the compass.

Seeing this, Ye Chen was secretly amazed.Then he asked, "Brother Wen, where did you get this thing? It looks very powerful."

After restoring the compass to its original shape, Wen Ran replied, "I got it by accident at the Linglong Pavilion's auction. Don't look at its small size, in fact it can show many changes according to the level of the caster's cultivation."

"Since this magic weapon is so powerful, why has no one discovered it before? Could it be that its creator is a reclusive power?"

Wen Ran snorted coldly when he heard the words, "I'm afraid he's overrated if he's called Da Neng, but if he's called a demon heretic, it should be more in line with his identity."

Ye Chen frowned, "Senior Brother Wen, are you referring to..."

"Do you know about the former Demon Cultivator Zuo Dharma Master, Ghost Face Venerable? It is the chief culprit who caused countless deaths and injuries to us on the righteous way, and the unfortunate death of Ah Xun's parents."

"Didn't he have been killed by Lord Wuwang Chuanchuan during the Zhengmo Rebellion?"

Wen Ran shook his head, "Someone happened to dig his tomb a few days ago and found no bones in it."

Then Wen Ran looked at Jiang Xun, and continued, "Maybe the Ghost-Mask Venerable didn't actually die, but changed his face and mingled among us."

Hearing this, Jiang Xun clenched his teacup tightly, his face sinking like water.
