While eating melons and cultivating immortality, I felt soft after picking up the magic weapon.

Chapter 223 Demon Clan
"what is the problem?"

"I've always heard that Junior Brother Qu has a delicate heart. No matter who it is, you will see through them."

As he spoke, Master Zhuqin chuckled, and his hand fell on the bamboo zither and plucked the strings.

The strings made a low "struggling" sound, causing Qu Xinyou's heart to beat heavily.

"Then, I wonder if Junior Brother Qu can see through me?"

That tone was inquiring yet contained a hint of contempt.

As if he was certain that Qu Xinyou could not see through him.

[Who are you looking down on! If a tiger doesn't show its might, then you think I'm just a kitten! Youyou, don't worry, I'm here, I will definitely see through him! ]

Qu Xinyou was thinking of other places.

In order to ensure that the disciples who entered Lingjue Peak were those who wanted to enter, she made use of Gua Gua's ability a little.

But it was only during that period of time, and it was not used very often.

Just a few times, she was able to see through people's hearts and the news spread to everyone in the Yuqing Sect.

Even the master of a peak like Zhuqin Zhenren has heard of him, as has the sect master.

This is by no means a coincidence; there is definitely someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.

But the most important thing right now is how to answer.

"Master Zhuqin, you are joking. I don't have the ability to see through people's hearts. It's just a rumor spread by my fellow disciples."

"Oh? Really? But I heard that you took Fellow Daoist Jian to look for the peak master to exchange ideas these days. After the exchange, you must have chatted with him for a few words.

If my guess is correct, I should be the last Peak Master, right? Qu Xinyou, what you two have done in the past few days makes me wonder, what is your purpose..."

Jian Hanxing's heart was lifted.

If he hadn't always pretended to be serious and cool in front of outsiders, and it had become a habit, he would have been exposed long ago.

Damn it, this Zhuqin Zhenren is worthy of being an elder, he is so difficult to deal with!
Xinyou should be able to handle it, right?

He looked at the latter and found that he was overthinking.

Facing the pressure from Zhuqin Zhenren, who was a Jindan Zhenren, as well as his intentional or unintentional influence with Zhuqin, there was no expression on Qu Xinyou's face.

As expected, it’s worthy of being Qu Xinyou!

"I don't understand what Master Zhuqin is talking about."

Master Zhuqin stared at her for a long while before looking away.

The sense of oppression that had been there from the beginning suddenly disappeared.

He put away his hands on the bamboo zither and said with an apologetic look:

"I'm very sorry, Junior Brother Qu. I don't know why Yuan Ling doesn't like you, but she insisted that I help her get revenge. That's why I did this. I hope Junior Brother Qu won't blame me."

When Jian Hanxing heard this, he felt dissatisfied.

"You do whatever she tells you to do for no reason? Why don't you just let her be your master?"

Others might not say anything because Master Zhuqin is an elder of the Yuqing Sect.

But Jian Hanxing wouldn't do that.

Hearing this, even someone as good-tempered as Zhuqin Zhenren couldn't help but look cold.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Qu Xinyou say in a calm voice: "It's okay, we have things to do, so we won't disturb Master Zhuqin. Jian Hanxing, let's go."

After that, she turned and left.

Jian Hanxing didn't say anything. He just looked at Master Zhuqin coldly and chased after him.

Watching the two people's backs as they left, Zhuqin Zhenren's gentle eyes gradually condensed into black mist, covering his pupils with black.

His originally calm and gentle facial features suddenly gave rise to a strange feeling.

"Master, are they gone?"

As the voice rang out, the dark energy gathered in Master Zhuqin's eyes immediately dissipated.

"Ah."

the other side.

Catching up with Qu Xinyou, Jian Hanxing was still mumbling about what happened just now. "Why didn't you let me compete with him this time? I just disliked him and pretended to be so. I must let him have a taste of my Frost Sword Intent!"

"No need." Qu Xinyou said in a calm voice.

Because she already got the information she wanted.

"Well, since you said so, forget it."

At this moment, Gua Gua was speaking in his mind.

[I didn't expect him to be so arrogant! How dare a demon who sneaked into Yuqing Sect do that! ]

That’s right, Master Zhuqin is a demon.

It's not that he is possessed by a demon, but that he himself is a demon.

Unexpectedly, the sect leader asked her to investigate, and she actually discovered a demon.

[What should I do, Youyou, do you want to tell the Sect Master? ]

【nature. 】

[What about the nine elders? How are you going to investigate? ]

[There is already a solution. ]

While the two were talking, Jian Hanxing was also talking beside them.

Just happened to be talking about Qu Xinyou exposing his cultivation level.

"You have exposed your cultivation level now. During the competition, you will face the sect's Foundation Establishment disciples. Those Foundation Establishment disciples have been in the Foundation Establishment stage for a long time and are very capable. If you want to get a top spot, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

"It doesn't matter. I didn't go there for the ranking anyway."

She wanted to improve herself in battle.

Moreover, since she has already established her foundation, dealing with those in the Qi Refining Stage would be a dimensionality reduction attack, and it would not allow her to improve at all.

"This is also a good opportunity to test my own strength."

She didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.

"Well said! You already have sword energy, which means you are also talented in swordsmanship. Xinyou, I believe in you. If you don't understand anything in swordsmanship, you can ask me..."

As they talked, they headed towards the Xuanyang Palace on the main peak.

In the middle, Jian Hanxing left, saying that he was inspired and would work hard to improve himself.

So the reporting task was left to Qu Xinyou.

Qu Xinyou entered Xuanyang Palace, and Lin Yuze was waiting for her.

Seeing her coming, he called out, "Xinyou, come over and take a look at my plan."

plan?

what's the plan?
Qu Xinyou walked over and saw Lin Yuze racking his brains to figure out the bottom line of the various peak masters and elders, and whether they were colluding with the demons.

He drew up several plans.

After hesitating for a moment, Qu Xinyou asked, "Didn't the Sect Master ask me and Jian Hanxing to handle this matter?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuze sighed.

"How can I really put such a heavy burden on you? I have heard about what happened during this period, and you have done a good job.

Many peak masters have told me that you two are going too far, but I have always blocked their comments. Don't worry, even if you don't find out anything, I won't blame you."

This is a very difficult task.

He didn't expect Qu Xinyu to really find out anything.

[Tsk tsk, this is totally underestimating you, Youyou, and even more so, underestimating me! Youyou, quickly tell him, forget about investigating whether they are demons, I am about to strip most of the peak masters' underwear, hahahahaha! ] Guagua laughed wildly.

"..."

"Oh, by the way, the competition is about to start. Have you at Ling Jue Peak decided on the disciples who will participate in this competition?"

"not yet."

"Then you should go back and take care of the competition first."

"Master, don't you want to know who is colluding with the demons?"
