shock! The villain once again turned the male protagonist into a yandere and criticized him like cra

"Master..."

This unfamiliar title made Xiao Xici stunned for a moment.

For some reason, when he read these two words, Xi Ci felt a strange and subtle sense of intimacy.

Different from the straightforward intimacy of "brother", the word "master" seems to have a more gentle and charming rhythm.

Both a teacher and a friend.

"The hero's rescue value is +10, and Xi Ci's current rescue value is 21."

Zhou Ze heard the sudden reminder and his expression did not change.

After that, not long after, he helped Xi Ci pack the few luggage and led little Xi Ci up the mountain.

They walked all the way back to Chi Dingzong.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold of Chi Dingzong, the originally clear sky suddenly changed and turned into darkness in the blink of an eye.

Thunders surged in the clouds, and a storm was about to come.

Zhou Ze paused and thought for a moment when he saw this.

This mountain peak is shrouded in immortal energy all year round, and such weather phenomena usually do not occur, except for one situation.

That is... there is a certain powerful person in the sect who is breaking through the tribulation.

I don't know who it could be... Zhouze searched in his mind and picked out all the people who met the requirements of the calamity.

There are three in total.

1. Elder Qingxian, who has no familiarity with the original owner Zhou Ze and has spoken no more than three sentences to him after joining the sect for many years.

Second, ancestor Ruoyou had a good relationship with the original owner Zhou Ze.

The third one is Pu Qiu, who Zhouze least wants to see the other party successfully overcome the tribulation and has been at odds with the original owner Zhouze for many years.

From the perspective of the original owner Zhou Ze, Pu Qiu and Yin Mu were like each other.

——They all like to take some crooked ways, and they also keep making small moves behind their backs.

In the previous life, when Yin Mu and Shi Yi set up a trap to frame the original owner Zhou Ze, Pu Qiu was the one who danced the most happily. He kept helping and even doubled down on the frame. He wanted to trample Zhou Ze under his feet and directly trample him to death.

God knows why this Pu Qiu always targets the original owner Zhouze.

It was obvious that the original owner didn't even look at him twice.

Zhou Ze pursed his beautiful lips and looked at the black sky with thunder and thunder.

Xi Ci, who was being held by his side, didn't know what was so interesting about the thunder, but he still waited quietly and looked at Zhouze silently.

Suddenly, they saw a man in robe standing on the most conspicuous peak.

The man looked arrogant and disdainful, with his hands behind his back and his chin raised high. He seemed very confident that he could deal with the terrifying thunder and lightning, which was more powerful than the other.

Zhouze saw the man clearly, and then showed a look of disgust.

Hate whatever you want.

Sure enough, it was that pickled thing from Piqiu.

Judging from the look on his face, he must be impatient to break through to the golden elixir stage.

Zhouze scoffed slightly.

Pu Qiu was in the Jindan stage, and the original owner Zhouze had already crossed over to the Nascent Soul stage.

The two of them met occasionally on weekdays, and Pu Qiu, who was one level weaker, couldn't help but make provocations many times.

If Pu Qiu successfully breaks through and reaches the Nascent Soul stage today, I don't know how he will get into trouble.

Oh, I wish him no success.

Zhou Ze thought this, and then he coldly withdrew his gaze and led Xi Ci towards the direction of the courtyard where he lived.

Originally, those who brought people into the sect without authorization had to be reported to the sect leader or deputy sect leader. But today, when Pu Qiu goes through the tribulation, everyone's eyes will be focused on Pu Qiu.

Then he doesn't have to report it for the time being.

Zhouze took Xi Ci directly back to the courtyard where he lived.

There is only one side room at the moment, which was carefully prepared for Shi Yi by the original owner Zhouze. Although it is small, it has all the internal organs.

Fortunately, Shi Yi didn't have the chance to live in this life, so the side house didn't become unlucky. Fortunately, Zhouze let Xi Ci live in it.

Thunder roared outside, hitting the heart like a shock, bringing a terrifying shock.

Zhouze was worried that Xi Ci would be scared, so he stayed with him in the side room. After looking coldly at the scene outside the room for a while, he completely withdrew his attention.

Then he concentrated on teaching Xi Ci to meditate.

Of course, Zhouze couldn't teach Xi Ci the "right way" exercises, so he could only carefully help Xi Ci repair the blocked pulse in his body.

So that Xiao Xici can recover his memory and mana faster, and can transform back into the Demon Lord earlier.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Suddenly the thunderstorm outside stopped.

The stop was very abrupt, and it didn't look like he had successfully overcome the tribulation.

This made Zhou Ze interested.

He blinked his eyes, pushed open the window, and sure enough, he saw a man who had been struck horribly by lightning lying on the dazzling peak, vomiting blood all over the ground.

It's Pu Qiu.

Haha, at first glance, he looked like he had failed to overcome the tribulation.

It's true that evil comes with evil consequences.

Zhouze couldn't help laughing.

Xi Ci poked his head out from behind Zhouze and saw this funny scene. A hint of sneer at Pu Qiu flashed across his dark eyes.

At this moment, Shi Yi, who had been imprisoned for two days, was released from the dungeon. He was in a state of desolation, but his eyes were bright.

He must repair his relationship with Zhou Ze.

Shi Yi felt inexplicably excited when he thought that he and Zhou Ze could return to their previous close relationship in the future.

He clenched his fists, and his heart, which had been tense since his rebirth, was rarely so relaxed at this moment.

He walked out of the dungeon step by step and saw the light of day again.

But even though he was so excited, when he saw no one at the entrance to the dungeon, Shi Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

The former Master Zhouze... clearly protected him in every possible way. He was injured and comatose for three days and three nights. When he opened his eyes, he saw Master Zhouze guarding him.

The emotion I felt at that time was definitely not fake.

Because of this, he now feels a huge gap.

Shi Yi held back the turbulent emotions and originally planned to go back to Zhouze——

After all, before he was imprisoned in the dungeon, he had been assigned as a disciple to Zhou Ze by the sect master.

Now as long as there is no order from the sect, he will be Zhouze's disciple.

But as soon as he walked not far away, Shi Yi saw a person on the top of the mountain who surprised him.

"Master Pu Qiu! What's wrong with you?!"

His eyes widened, he screamed and ran towards Pu Qiu who was lying unconscious on the ground.

In a pool of blood, the young man in robe was in a miserable state.

Shi Yi quickly picked him up, and together with the other disciples who hurried over at this time, panting, he brought Pu Qiu back to the sect's healing place.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yi, this unlucky person, would be released today, and he seemed to be very familiar with Pu Qiu.

But it’s normal to think about it.

Shi Yi, Yin Mu and Pu Qiu, the three murderers who killed the original owner, were in a den of snakes and rats, so how could they not be "close" to each other?

Now is a good opportunity to completely draw a clear line with Shi Yi and others, so as to prevent them from stalking and playing tricks again.

Zhouze thought for a moment.

Then, the corners of his lips raised slightly for a moment.

Picking up Xi Ci, who had not yet reacted, Zhouze led him straight to the main peak of the sect leader, and at the same time explained -
