Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

"This place is really remote."

After boarding Lingkuang Island, Chen Xueqing observed the punch, her brows slightly frowned, and she spoke softly.

"However, the concentration of spiritual energy is not bad, and it is almost the same as that of the Lower Sea Beast Sky Island."

Uncle Lin looked respectful, bowed gently to Chen Xueqing, clasped his fists and said, "Miss, you are a precious girl, but it is really unfair for you to come to this barbarian land."

While the two were talking, the figures of Yu Changsheng and Old Wei quietly appeared, standing in front of the two and looking at them quietly.

Yu Changsheng frowned slightly and asked calmly, "I wonder why the two Taoist friends have come to this small island?"

Chen Xueqing's spirit boat was so eye-catching that Yu Changsheng had noticed it long before it arrived at the Spirit Mine Island.

He had just been watching, until the two of them landed on the island and passed through the isolation formation unimpeded. Only then did Yu Changsheng have a rough idea of ​​their identities.

"Are you Yu Changsheng?"

Hearing this, Chen Xueqing and Uncle Lin turned their heads and looked at Yu Changsheng and Old Wei. After briefly glancing at Old Wei, their gazes stayed on Yu Changsheng. There was an imperceptible scrutiny in her eyes, and with curiosity, Chen Xueqing asked.

"Ah."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly and looked at the two of them with a frown.

Uncle Lin took a step forward, clasped his fists and bowed to Yu Changsheng, laughing and saying:

"Don't be nervous, my friend Yu. We are all from the Sea Beast Island. This is my young lady. She is also the sixth saint of the Sea Beast Island. We came here to discuss some matters."

"The Sixth Saint?"

Yu Changsheng heard this and looked at Chen Xueqing. His eyes flashed with brilliance, but he was very alert in his heart. However, on the surface, he showed a gentle smile and said in a warm voice:

"So it's the Saint who has arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Come on, this isn't the place to talk. Let's talk further."

Yu Changsheng spoke in a gentle voice, made a welcoming gesture, and led the two towards their residence. In his mind, he quickly recalled the relevant information about the Sixth Saint, Chen Xueqing.

"Chen Xueqing is a sixth-order disciple of Sea Beast Island. She has reached the peak of the Purple Palace. She is extremely beautiful and seems easy to get along with. However, she is actually extremely cold and arrogant. She is quite popular in Sea Beast Island and is the dream goddess of many male disciples."

"Rumor has it that an inner sect elder of the Sea Beast Island, the True Master of Transformation, once pursued Chen Xueqing, but in the end, nothing came of it..."

Fragments of this information flashed through Yu Changsheng's mind, and Chen Xueqing, who was following behind Yu Changsheng and Old Wei, was also silently looking Yu Changsheng up and down, her eyes slightly lighting up.

Not long after, they arrived at Yu Changsheng's residence. Yu Changsheng personally stood up, made some spiritual tea for Chen Xueqing and the other person, and then greeted them with a smile and asked them to take a seat.

"The Saint's presence has really made my humble courtyard shine, but no one comes to visit you for no reason. The Saint is late, is there anything I can say?"

Yu Changsheng slowly picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then smiled and spoke in a soothing tone, neither humble nor arrogant, but with an attitude that was appropriately respectful.

Chen Xueqing pondered, nodded gently, and looked at Yu Changsheng with her beautiful eyes. A smile also appeared on her beautiful face, like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg. Her voice was also gentle, as clear and melodious as a lark:
"You don't have to be too restrained. We are all from the same sect, so naturally we won't have any bad intentions."

Chen Xueqing covered her mouth and chuckled, and continued, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Yu had just come from Sea Beast Island and had not been working at Spirit Mine Island for long, but he had killed the former mine deacon Liu Yun. This matter had spread throughout Sea Beast Island. Fellow Daoist Yu was really courageous."

Yu Changsheng smiled slightly, keeping his tone gentle, waved his hands and shrugged, saying indifferently:

"What's the big deal? I have no choice but to do this. Liu Yun did not do any real work in this mining area. Instead, he privately withheld salaries and suppressed disciples. He also secretly enriched himself and abused his power for personal gain. He is also a demon cultivator. I don't know how many innocent lives have died in his hands, including many of his fellow disciples on the Sea Beast Island."

"It is difficult for me to redeem myself by killing this beast, which is worse than human beings. This is also a helpless act. It is also my duty and responsibility as an elder of this Spirit Mine Island. I have reported all these things to my superiors, and I think it is reasonable."

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, he sighed softly, his tone was sad, and his expression could not help but reveal a trace of resentment. He said: "I believe that as an elder of the Sea Beast Island, if they encounter such a thing, they will do the same as me. It is too cheap to kill this beast."

Chen Xueqing listened quietly, then nodded, took a sip of tea, and slowly exhaled a breath of hot air, which blurred her expression. She only laughed softly and said, "Yu Daoyou is right. This kind of person, who is also a demon cultivator, really cannot be kept. He only humiliates the reputation of my Sea Beast Island."

"What Fellow Daoist Yu did was absolutely right in this matter, but."

Chen Xueqing's eyes turned, she sighed softly, put down the teacup, and her tone was filled with a bit of worry that didn't seem real: "But, I'm not afraid to tell you, this Liu Yun, do you know that he is the man of the Seventh Saint Son Wang Sheng?"

"Wang Sheng is a man who has always been cruel and merciless, with a perverse personality and overbearing behavior, but he is very powerful. Wang Sheng is a source of worry for him, and if you kill him like this, I'm afraid it will cause Wang Sheng to fly into a rage. He will definitely not let it go like this, and will definitely find a chance to cause trouble for you."

"I know."

Yu Changsheng didn't show any surprise when he heard this. He just nodded calmly and said, "So what? The people have been killed. As for the rest, we'll just have to take it one step at a time."

"you know?"

Chen Xueqing was surprised, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her beautiful eyes, and asked: "Since you knew that, why did you insist on killing Liu Yun? This move has provoked Wang Sheng. He is not a good person and is not easy to provoke." "Not easy to provoke, isn't that the case? What else can we do?"

Yu Changsheng curled his lips and shrugged indifferently.

Chen Xueqing was silent, looking at Yu Changsheng's nonchalant look. After a while, she smiled gently, with a hint of interest in her eyes, and said, "Yu Daoyou is right, but since you knew he was Wang Sheng's man, why did you insist on killing Liu Yun and completely anger Wang Sheng? Aren't you afraid?"

Yu Changsheng laughed: "You are joking. As I said, you know what Liu Yun has done. There is no room for maneuver. Some things must be done, even if it offends people. There is no other way."

Yu Changsheng paused for half a second and continued, "There is a saying that goes, a real man is born between heaven and earth. There are things he should not do and things he should do. Worrying too much is not the mentality that a cultivator like me should have."

"What's more, Liu Yun was the one who made the mistake first. I have reasons to kill him. Even if he is Wang Sheng's man, so what? Wrong is wrong, and he deserves to die."

Yu Changsheng said this, and his tone became a little colder towards the end.

"A true man is born between heaven and earth. What should he not do, and what should he do?"

Chen Xueqing was stunned, her expression slightly solemn, she lowered her eyebrows and whispered these words softly, for a while, she looked up at Yu Changsheng with a strange look in her eyes, and said softly:

"Fellow Daoist Yu has seen things clearly. I now admire his mentality. Well, with your talent and strength, you have a brighter future. There is no need to fight to the death with this Wang..."

Chen Xueqing pondered: "And I have another purpose for this trip. You also know that I am the Sixth Saintess. Wang Sheng and I have some irreconcilable conflicts. You can kill Wang Sheng's confidant Liuyun, which is a great help to me. Therefore, I should be grateful to you."

"I'm just doing what I should do. Saint, you're too kind." Yu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke lightly.

"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. In fact, I think we should be able to make friends. You are also a genius. As I said, Wang Sheng will not let you go. Whether it is openly or secretly, he has ways to deal with you. It would be a pity if you died like this. I don't want to see it happen."

Chen Xueqing smiled, with stars twinkling in her eyes. She looked straight at Yu Changsheng, and a hint of intriguing smile appeared on her lazy and cold face: "So, this is the reason why I came here. I don't want you to die like this. It just so happens that Wang Sheng and I have a grudge. He wants you to die, but I want you to live. I can protect you."

"Oh?"

Yu Changsheng was surprised, and gently put down the teacup. He looked at Chen Xueqin seriously, squinted his eyes slightly, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that the Saint Lady would think so highly of me. If the Saint Lady is willing to keep me safe and protect me, then Changsheng would naturally be willing to do so. I am very grateful."

"However," Yu Changsheng groaned for a moment, staring at Chen Xueqing with a sharp gaze, and said, "The Saintess has done me a favor, so Changsheng is naturally grateful. But I'm afraid that the Saintess will not protect me for no reason, just because I have a grudge against her, right? What are your conditions?"

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, he looked at Chen Xueqing with a smile, his eyes gentle, as if he was appreciating a natural work of art.

Chen Xueqing frowned slightly, meeting Yu Changsheng's gaze, but she didn't say anything. Her Adam's apple moved slightly, and her red lips parted slightly, and a sound like a silver bell rang out:

"Yu Daoyou is a smart man. You are right. There is no free lunch in the world. You have offended Wang Sheng too much. Although he and I have a grudge, it is not to the point of a life-and-death feud. It is totally unnecessary. Because you, an outsider, continue to cause the relationship between him and me to become stalemate and hostile. If I decide to protect you, it will naturally increase my risk."

"On the other hand, you and I have no relatives. If I just protect you, his enemy, because I am unhappy with Wang Sheng, it would be a provocation to him, and it would be a bit unreasonable. Without a legitimate status, rumors would inevitably spread from the outside world, which would cause trouble for both of us."

After Chen Xueqing finished speaking, she drank her tea calmly. In the midst of the tea vapor, she looked at Yu Changsheng calmly: "Yu Daoyou, you should know what I mean, right?"

Yu Changsheng scratched his head, a faint smile on his lips, his fingers gently dancing on the teacup, and said: "What the Saint said, Changsheng suddenly understood, you think that without a suitable reason, it is difficult for you to help me, right?"

"Yes, no matter what, everything must have a name and an excuse, and a reason to support each other to get along together. Otherwise, it will not be solid and long-lasting."

Chen Xueqing nodded, her eyes like lightning, and said without further ado, "I can help you deal with Wang Sheng and keep you safe. I will even try my best to help you break through and reach the God Transformation Realm as soon as possible. But the condition is that I need you to join me as my protector and be my vassal."

"So, with this relationship, if Wang Sheng is determined to kill you, he will have to think twice. I will have enough reputation and reason to stop him. Moreover, with this relationship, I can bring you back to Shanghai Beast Island with good reason."

Chen Xueqing smiled slightly, with a look of confidence and indifference that everything was under control. She looked at Yu Changsheng gently and tenderly, a few strands of black hair fell quietly from her forehead, and at this moment, her beautiful face revealed a look of pity, like a tragic actress, which was very touching.

"I know that you came here under the arrangement of the Third Elder of the Beast Taming Sect. In fact, it is also to exclude you. With my help, he won't say anything. For you, the benefits and gains of following me are obvious."

Chen Xueqing's expression was always calm with a slight smile on her face, and her tone was the same, gentle but with a sense of persuasion, as if it could bewitch people and was magical.

Yu Changsheng smiled when he heard this, lowered his brows and pondered for a moment: "Being your protector and submitting to you does sound good..."

"But..." Yu Changsheng looked up, met Chen Xueqing's gaze, and shook his head slowly and firmly.

"I am used to being alone. If I really have to revolve around someone, I will not be used to it. So, I appreciate the good intentions of the saint, but forget about the rest."

"Oh? You mean, rejected?"

Chen Xueqing's expression remained unchanged, still with a faint smile, but there seemed to be a flash of coldness in her blue eyes, and she smiled and said:

"This doesn't surprise me. That's right. It's normal for a genius like you, Changsheng, to be arrogant. It does sound a little hard to accept for a while that you'll be my protector and vassal."

"But, I believe that Fellow Daoist Yu is also a smart person. Think carefully. This will only benefit you. You should think twice before acting." (End of this chapter)
