Until they returned, Mo Hanyu and Miao Kaijie were still talking to each other.

Qin Xiao was really getting impatient, so he strode out from between the two of them and came in front of Lan Huaiqiu.

Lan Huaiqiu finished the song and slowly opened his eyes. Before he could come out of the state of being, he met a pair of black pupils.

"I just contacted Qi Yulang and told him about your situation. He agreed to help you protect the law." Qin Xiao went straight to the point, "It can be done today. Are you going to prepare in the morning or afternoon?"

Lan Huaiqiu was stunned: "Today? But you——"

"I have to go find my eldest brother first." Qin Xiao saw her hesitation, "I'll take a look at his condition, and then do my thing. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you."

"Yeah……"

"Actually, I'm very curious." Miao Kaijie suddenly spoke, stroking his chin and looking at her, "How did you change your mind method? How did you reshape it after shattering all the mind skills?"

"No need to reshape it." Lan Huaiqiu explained, "It's actually very simple. I just need to shatter all the music scores I have previously condensed, and then learn other mental methods to practice different music scores."

"But didn't you say it was difficult?"

"...It doesn't matter." Lan Huaiqiu smiled, "After all, it was my decision."

As he said this, he said to Qin Xiao.

"I can do it in the morning. It's better to finish it early."

Qin Xiao nodded.

He remembered that Qi Yulang had mentioned that whether it was to shatter the Pu Xin or to rebuild the mental method, it was a very complicated and difficult task, and extremely energy-consuming, so it usually required a senior who was at least one level higher to assist and protect, so as to avoid accidents.

This process takes a long time, so there is no need to wait.

So after arranging a meeting between the two, Qin Xiao went to visit Qin Jichen.

Qin Jichen was still lying on the bed with a pale face and his eyes closed, showing no sign of waking up. Qin Xiao watched for a while, then reached out to feel his tendons, but was rushed out by a brute force.

Qin Xiao was stunned. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

"Your elder brother hasn't regained consciousness yet, and his body is protecting itself instinctively." Qin Xiuyun saw his confusion and explained, "The meridians can't be explored casually. Such an important thing..."

Qin Xiao understood, nodded and said nothing.

He was surprised just now because it seemed that this was the first time he encountered an obstacle. Before, he had always been quite successful when exploring other people's meridians.

Qin Xiao paused, then looked at Qin Xiuyun belatedly.

Meridians were not something that could be explored at will, especially for cultivators, they were even more important than life. The reason was that unless one's realm was overwhelming, the person being explored would likely face a threat to his life.

As long as the outsider is willing, he can easily break and block other people's meridians. What's worse, he can directly hit the Dantian. At that time, let alone cultivation, it would be a real life worse than death.

So going deep into the meridians... is a very dangerous and sensitive thing. Unless you have special trust in someone, no one will be able to easily access their inner self.

Qin Xiuyun didn't understand what he understood, but seeing his black eyes move slightly, there was a bit of complexity in his expression.

"What did the Pei family say?" However, Qin Xiao did not remain silent for long, and soon raised his head to look at him.

"They heard about your transfer and think that going to that college would ruin your future, so they want to take you to the Pei family." Qin Xiuyun looked away and looked at Qin Jichen lying on the bed.

"Why don't they look for Qin Jichen and Qin Jinyi? Why do they have to look for an evil cultivator like me?" Qin Xiao sat beside Qin Jichen's bed, held his wrist in his hand, and stretched out his finger to probe again.

The vital energy flows into the body like a clear spring, slowly and gently combing the meridians and nourishing the dantian.

"I asked, but they didn't answer." Qin Xiuyun was also confused when he mentioned this. "Some of them came to visit Ji Chen when he got into trouble this time. Maybe they did it for your mother's sake."

"But haven't they been here for more than ten years?" Qin Xiao had a blank expression on his face, not understanding this behavior. "My mother has been dead for so long, and no one has come to her funeral."

Although he was young at that time, he still had vague memories of it.

Qin Xiuyun didn't seem to understand either and just shook his head.

The two fell silent.

He chatted with Qin Xiuyun for a while, and finally decided to wait until Qin Jichen woke up before making any plans.

As for Qin Jichen's master, Qin Xiuyun has already contacted him and said they can meet tomorrow. Qin Xiao nodded and said nothing more.

There was no news from Lan Huaiqiu until the evening. Miao Kaijie said she was still going on. Qi Yulang was still there, so it should be fine. Qin Xiao was not too worried.

The day passed in the blink of an eye. When Qin Xiao saw his mentor Qin Jichen, he was stunned for a rare moment.

"Is Ji Chen okay? I've been looking for Fusang these past few days, but unfortunately I can't find her anywhere."

In front of him was a man in his thirties, with a handsome appearance, a black robe trailing on the ground but not covered with dust, and a somewhat immortal look. He just said a few words to Qin Xiuyun, patted his shoulder, and then turned around to ask, with an annoyed and somewhat anxious look on his face.

"Eh? Who is this?" The man noticed Qin Xiao, who looked surprised, and blinked and asked Qin Xiuyun.

"This is Ji Chen's younger brother." Qin Xiuyun introduced him to him with a pleasant look on his face.

"Oh? Hello." The man smiled and stretched out his hand to him, "Ji Chen often mentioned you to me."

"That's great." Qin Xiao was unmoved. He glanced at the hand he extended and shook it with a normal expression.

The man didn't seem to expect him to answer like this, his expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered: "You are a very cute child... By the way, Ji Chen——"

"He is no longer in danger of death." Qin Xiuyun replied.

"Oh?" The man was a little surprised, and went up to explore Qin Jichen's meridians, but was stopped by Qin Xiao.

"He is very cautious." Qin Xiao explained, "It might backfire on you."

"It's okay." The man smiled and replied, "He is my student, take a look--"

"Teacher, have you been looking for hibiscus leaves?" Qin Xiao suddenly glanced at Mo Hanyu who had been standing silently in the corner.

Mo Hanyu's eyes moved slightly and he nodded imperceptibly.

"Yes, after all, only this can save Ji Chen." Speaking of this, the man sighed.

"How did you find out?"

"Why do you ask?" The man felt something was wrong. "Are you doubting me, kid?"

The man's eyes, which were always smiling, were now curved even more deeply, but there was no warmth in his pupils.

"He is my student, how can you doubt me like this?!" the man said, somewhat angrily.

"That's not what he meant--" Qin Xiuyun saw this and wanted to stop him.

"I'm sorry, mentor. It's my fault." Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao apologized to him with a sincere tone, "I'm not doubting you, I'm just a little curious."

"Oh?"

"Why have I never heard of the hibiscus tree?"

"Because you are still young, you will naturally understand it if you read more books."

"I understand, thank you." Qin Xiao said, staring thoughtfully at the palm of his hand that he had just shaken hands with, and said no more.

The man glanced at him with a strange smile.

I don’t know when I blinked, the world spun around, and I felt like I was falling from a great height into endless darkness…

But Qin Xiao reacted quickly, his eyes turned gray, and he easily stabilized his body and looked around. It was pitch black, with only a faint light flashing in one direction.

Qin Xiao paused and walked towards that point. The light became brighter as he got closer, and finally submerged him when he took the last step.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at a familiar place.

Qin Xiao was stunned.

Isn’t this the Qin family?

Qin Xiao looked around blankly, turned around twice, and confirmed that he was in the yard where Qin Xiuyun lived. Even the big locust tree at the door was exactly the same.

"Xiuyun, come here."

A gentle female voice sounded, and a child stumbled past him and pounced on the blurry figure.

This is Qin Xiuyun’s memory.

Qin Xiao understood instantly and thought to himself, as expected.

That man planted a poison in himself and Qin Xiuyun.

Qin Xiao looked at his palm, and a sharp blade suddenly appeared in it. He didn't want to peek into Qin Xiuyun's memory, so it would be better to get out of it as soon as possible.

As he thought about it, he stabbed the knife into his neck and hot blood spurted out.

The severe pain did not bring Qin Xiao out of the illusion, but instead accelerated the passage of time in the illusion.

The scene kept changing. There seemed to be more people in the hustle and bustle, but also less people. The heavy and oppressive atmosphere made him feel a little uncomfortable, but Qin Xiao didn't care. He had already made up his mind not to peek, so he naturally wouldn't take another look.

Yuan Mengyou, this is the name of Gu.

It can make people fall into the illusion of other people's memories. This illusion will not stop when the memory ends, but will continue to repeat, and eventually predict the future based on the temperament of the protagonist of the illusion, creating a dream leading to the future.

It will even create a personality based on a certain period of time of the owner of the illusion to communicate and fight against the poisoned person.

There are only two ways to escape - kill yourself or kill that personality.

When falling into an illusion, the body is out of control, the mind is confused and fragile, and one would not even notice if someone cuts one's flesh with a slow knife.

This doesn't work.

Qin Xiao pulled the blade from his neck, his face solemn.

Although he had greeted Mo Hanyu, he couldn't delay too long.

Outside the illusion, the man looked at the white-haired boy in front of him in surprise. At this time, his hands and feet were frozen and he could not move.

"Do you think this will work for me?" The man reminded with a smile, "I am in the Earth Realm."

"No, you are not." Mo Hanyu stood in front of him with a calm expression.

"Why am I not?" The man sneered, "You are an evil cultivator, not an idiot. If I am not at the Earth Realm, how can I be Qin Jichen's mentor?"

"Of course his mentor is at the Earth Realm, but you are not." A golden light appeared in Mo Hanyu's eyes, and the ice layer thickened, wrapping him tightly.

"As a Gu worm, it is impossible for it to completely inherit the host's realm, right?"

The man was stunned, but soon laughed: "So what? Even if I can't inherit it completely, what can you do to me with a mere Profound Realm?"

As she spoke, she exerted a little force and easily shattered the ice, looking at him with a smile.

Seeing how relaxed he was, Mo Hanyu looked grim and gritted his teeth and made a "tsk" sound.

Seeing this, the man sneered and stepped forward.

At this moment, in a flash, a huge claw stretched out from behind the man without any warning.

He was pinned to the ground and couldn't move!

The man felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him and no matter how hard he struggled he could not escape.

The man's face turned pale as he felt the brutal and ferocious pressure.

"who--"

"Your ancestors." Qiongqi said coldly, knocked him unconscious with one claw, sat directly on his back, and looked at Mo Hanyu, "What happened to them?"

"He's been poisoned." Mo Hanyu confirmed that the man was unconscious, then looked at Qin Xiao worriedly, "He's fallen into an illusion."

"What should we do then?" Qiongqi had no idea about this.

"He can handle it himself." Mo Hanyu remembered the look Qin Xiao had given him before, and said so despite his worries.

Qin Xiao had obviously already noticed this person's true identity, but he probably had some doubts and didn't expose it right away. I don't know -

Mo Hanyu was lost in thought when Qin Xiao slowly opened his eyes.

Before Mo Hanyu could feel happy, Qin Xiao raised his hand and summoned the black blade of his long sword, ready to pierce his throat.

Mo Hanyu's heart skipped a beat. The handle of the knife was immediately covered with frost, which froze Qin Xiao so much that he paused.

Mo Hanyu took this opportunity to snatch the weapon and angrily asked: "What are you doing?!"

Qin Xiao was a little dazed, staring at the golden color in his pupils, and came back to his senses in an instant.

"Out?"

"Yes." Mo Hanyu felt a little distressed and gently held his hand, wanting to pass on the warmth to him. However, he did not think that his body temperature was much lower than that of ordinary people. This would not only fail to warm Qin Xiao, but Qin Xiao was the one providing him with warmth.

Fortunately, Qin Xiao didn't care. He came to his senses, smiled, pulled out his hand, and looked at Qin Xiuyun.

Looking at Qin Xiuyun with his eyes closed, Qin Xiao felt a little uneasy. He moved closer to see his condition, but was shocked by the sudden pressure. He looked at the tip of the gun with a sudden silver glow in surprise.

At the same time, there was also a deafening dragon roar.

The first time Qin Xiao faced Qin Xiuyun's attack, he felt as if he was fixed in place. Sharp wind blades covered the sky and the earth, and he was surrounded by dangers. He could only watch the tip of the gun stabbing at him.

The pressure of the heavenly realm——

Although it was not the first time I saw him, it was the first time I felt how terrifying he was.

Qin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Mo Hanyu had never expected such a sudden change. In his panic, he vaguely saw that Qin Xiuyun's eyes were tightly closed, and he seemed to be still unconscious. Everything was just instinct.

Out of instinct, Qin Xiao murmured unconsciously from his throat:

"father--?"

Miraculously, the tip of the gun stopped before piercing the eyeball, and the murderous intent suddenly disappeared.

Although Qin Xiao's eyes were stabbed, it was not a big problem. Only the eye membrane was slightly damaged and it would be healed immediately after applying some medicine.

But Qin Xiao had no such thoughts at this moment, and looked at Qin Xiuyun who stopped in front of him with concern.

Qin Xiuyun obviously had not yet come out of the illusion, and everything that had just happened was unconscious behavior.

Mo Hanyu trembled as he pulled Qin Xiao to his side. Looking at Qin Xiuyun who was standing there quietly, he felt a sense of fear in his heart.

terrible……

If it had been just a moment longer, the gun would have pierced through.

"Xiao, are you okay?" Mo Hanyu checked Qin Xiao's condition with trembling fingers, holding his face and looking left and right, and took out the healing medicine, "I'll help you--"

"No need." Qin Xiao rejected his kindness, "I have one myself."

What Qin Xiuyun attacked just now was not just the pupil. Invisible wind blades were flying in all directions. Although Qin Xiuyun stopped in time, there were still a few tiny blood marks left on his face.

Mo Hanyu's eyes darkened, he lowered his eyes in disappointment, and said nothing.

This kind of injury doesn't require any good medicine. Qin Xiao swallowed a low-level pill, but the wound still healed visibly.

Qin Xiao was a little worried. Although he noticed that Mo Hanyu was in a low mood, he had no idea why, so he decided to put it aside and think about how to get Qin Xiuyun out of the illusion first.

It's not that he doubted Qin Xiuyun's strength, but he was worried that Qin Xiuyun didn't know how to remove the poison. However, his spiritual sense was unable to penetrate it now, so he could only think about it.

Just as Qin Xiao was thinking hard with a frown on his face, Qin Xiuyun was also frowning, as if he had encountered something that was hard to accept.

"Kill me and you can get out."

The young man in front of him said calmly.

"...Are you kidding me?" Qin Xiuyun's face twitched in disbelief.

"Do not."

It was pitch black all around, and the young man sat cross-legged on the ground, calm and reserved.

The black eyes are deep and as calm as an ancient well.
