The years I was in the human world

Ye Yunzhou said that he was under house arrest, but in fact he was imprisoned in the Beidu Court prison by the furious Baili Changqing. The cells were all made of molten cold iron. Cultivators below the Void Refining Realm could not use any spiritual power in such a prison, and were no different from ordinary people.

Ye Yunzhou sat on the ground with his back against the prison door, looking unusually calm. He had anticipated this day. Perhaps it was when an arrow was shot from Yu Zhao's back, or perhaps it was the moment when Lu Zhouxue opened his eyes in Nirvana, he knew this day would come. He just didn't expect it to come so soon.

It happened so quickly that he didn't even have the time to prepare for his own defense. The registration in the register exposed the illusion of his glorious achievements, and the souls of the monks brought back by Baili Changqing confirmed his guilt. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Now he has fallen into the dust, and there is no one to pull him back.

At this time, Ye Yunzhou actually thought of Yu Zhao again. Yaoguang was too busy to take care of herself, so she abandoned him to protect herself. If it was Yu Zhao, he should have protected him by himself, right? Just like before, so for some reason, he asked Ye Jin, who came to visit him, to invite Lu Zhouxue. Yu Zhao would not ignore him, even for Kong Qing's sake.

A shadow was cast behind Ye Yunzhou. A pair of snow-white boots landed on the cold iron floor. The bitter fragrance of tea lingered faintly. Knowing that the person he was waiting for had arrived, Ye Yunzhou quickly stood up, but was stunned when he saw the other person's face.

Her silvery hair flowed like moonlight, her cold and white skin wrapped in a thick cloak was as white as frost and snow, her eyes were cold and distant, but her lips were charmingly rosy, her slender waist was pinched in her belt, making her look flexible and elegant. She was indeed a stunning beauty, but not the Yu Zhao he wanted to wait for.

"You came to see me." Lu Zhouxue said coldly, pulling his clothes together. This prison was made of cold iron and was extremely cold. He had always been afraid of the cold. If Ye Jin had not begged him, he would not have wanted to come. Therefore, even if he came now, he was not willing to waste words with Ye Yunzhou.

"You..." Ye Yunzhou had a lot of words prepared in his mind, but the moment he saw Lu Zhouxue's face, he suddenly didn't know how to start. He always deliberately forgot the fact that Yu Zhao was dead. Even though he had already seen Lu Zhouxue, he was still deceiving himself.

Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Lu Zhouxue didn't say much either. She turned around and left. Seeing that he was really going to leave, Ye Yunzhou suddenly woke up and shouted, "Wait a minute - don't you have anything to say to me, Ah Zhao?"

"I don't have time to waste on talking to you." Lu Zhouxue turned his head and said calmly. He was even too lazy to correct the way Ye Yunzhou addressed him, because it didn't matter. It didn't matter to him who the other party wanted to treat him as.

"A Zhao!" Ye Yunzhou shouted, staring at Lu Zhouxue intently, trying to read some other emotions on his face, "Don't you have any feelings for me?"

"You're talking really strangely." Lu Zhouxue looked at him strangely, not understanding why he could say such words with a clear conscience, "Did we ever have any old feelings for each other? Even if there was, the arrow shot from Dongshan's back should have been completely offset. How can you bring it up now?"

"A Zhao! Are you still angry? I have my reasons." Seeing that Lu Zhouxue was unmoved, Ye Yunzhou hurriedly said, no matter if he was really deceiving himself or not, he had to hold on to Lu Zhouxue as a life-saving straw, "Even if you don't care about the friendship between childhood sweethearts, you should consider Kong Qing. If she knew that you cared about what happened in the past and stood by and watched her father, do you think she would blame you?"

Peacock was indeed Yu Zhao's weak spot. If it wasn't Lu Zhouxue standing here, he might really be persuaded by Ye Yunzhou's sophistry. Unfortunately, he was doomed to miscalculate. Lu Zhouxue's expression did not change, and the look she cast on him became colder: "You are really shameless."

"Let's not talk about whether we should care about what happened in the past. Let's just say that you are in a better situation now. It was Baili Changqing who wanted to reopen the old case and redress the injustice of the people who died wrongfully in Dongshan. What is the false friendship between you and Yu Zhao in the face of such a crime?" Lu Zhouxue said, and looked away with contempt and pity, as if he was facing an ant, "You take yourself too seriously, Ye Yunzhou."

Seeing that Lu Zhouxue was unmoved, Ye Yunzhou also withdrew the disguise of deep affection on his face, revealing his cold and selfish nature. He stood by the prison door and stared at the handsome Lu Zhouxue outside: "I like you very much. If you cooperate obediently, I don't want to hurt you."

Ye Yunzhou pretended to sigh with regret, and Lu Zhouxue looked at him warily. Although the prison made of cold iron could isolate the flow of spiritual energy, Ye Yunzhou had been sitting firmly in the position of sect leader for many years, and what he did back then was not perfect. There was no guarantee that he would not be prepared for danger and make preparations in advance.

Lu Zhouxue was just suspecting that he was hiding something, but she didn't expect that the place on her right hand where the demon-suppressing mark was branded began to hurt like fire. The fiery red mark spread along the tendons of her right hand through her neck and directly to Lu Zhouxue's face. Half of her face was covered with an enchanting totem.

Lu Zhouxue felt his right hand twitching wildly and uncontrollably. He looked at Ye Yunzhou calmly, "What did you do?"

"Suppressing Demon Mark, is that strange?" Ye Yunzhou calmly met Lu Zhouxue's gaze in the prison. He sighed with some disappointment, "A Zhao, you used to be very obedient, so I didn't need to control you like this. I didn't expect you to disappoint me again."

"You are a human-demon hybrid. You have indeed been contaminated by the lowly blood of the demon race. Teaching you is useless. Only this method is suitable for you." Ye Yunzhou and Lu Zhouxue switched roles. Standing in the cell, he also had a condescending attitude. He ordered, "Open the cell door for me."

"You will be convicted soon, how can I let you go?" Lu Zhouxue frowned. He didn't want to let Ye Yunzhou out, but it seemed like there was another consciousness that was defying his nature, and there was even a sign of suppressing the original him. He stood there hesitantly for a while.

Ye Yunzhou was very satisfied with his reaction now. The cell door could be easily opened from the outside with spiritual power. Lu Zhouxue activated the spell and the cell door opened. Ye Yunzhou stepped on the cell and nodded to the latter, saying, "A Zhao did a good job. We will review the old case in a few days. No matter what evidence Baili Changqing produces, you must insist that everything that happened back then was done by you alone. There is no injustice. Do you understand?"

Although what Baili Changqing collected was irrefutable evidence, as long as Lu Zhouxue denied it, Master Mingjing would naturally use this as a breakthrough to save him. Ye Yunzhou had planned it very well. If Lu Zhouxue suddenly turned against him, Baili Changqing would have no way to force his way through.

"A Zhao, you're disobedient again. Why don't you answer?" Ye Yunzhou said, looking at Lu Zhouxue, "You will be punished for being disobedient."

After Ye Yunzhou finished speaking, Lu Zhouxue suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if a thousand knives were cutting the ropes. Along with someone's noisy voice in his mind, Lu Zhouxue's thoughts began to disintegrate. He gradually couldn't see clearly what was in front of him. He staggered to half-kneel, covering his head with his right hand, and looked up at the spinning world in confusion.

Ye Yunzhou stood there with great interest, admiring his miserable state, but he had no intention of stopping, and said for his own good: "After this suffering, you should learn your lesson, Ah Zhao. You have become more beautiful, but also more arrogant."

Lu Zhouxue didn't pay attention to what Ye Yunzhou was saying. Everything in front of his eyes was blurry and he could vaguely see a blurry figure standing there. The person seemed to be laughing at him, and then said, "Now that he's gone, are you going to sink?"

"You are here too..." Lu Zhouxue murmured softly. The man chuckled, and his outline suddenly became clear. He had a face exactly like Lu Zhouxue's.

When Ye Yunzhou saw Lu Zhouxue kneeling down, he stared into the void with confused eyes. He thought that Zhen Yaohen had almost gained control over him. He was about to give another order, but he didn't expect that the man who was confused just now suddenly jumped up, grabbed his neck and pressed him against the wall made of cold iron. His flesh and blood body hit the wall with a dull sound.

Ye Yunzhou was horrified and was about to increase his strength to activate the Demon-Suppressing Mark, but Lu Zhouxue suddenly tightened the hand that was holding his throat. Ye Yunzhou suddenly had difficulty breathing and was completely unable to concentrate on doing anything else.

The blood-red totem on Lu Zhouxue's face had not faded at this time, running from the corners of his eyes along his cheeks to his collar. His skin was originally fair, and now it looked even more charming. He looked at Ye Yunzhou with a pair of cold eyes. Where was the confusion from before?

Lu Zhouxue raised her right hand towards Ye Yunzhou, and a thin ice cone slowly condensed in the palm of her hand, the sharp tip almost pierced Ye Yunzhou's eyeball. He opened his eyes wide and dared not move, letting his face turn red because of his neck being pinched. His soul was trembling, the power emanating from Lu Zhouxue was as heavy as a mountain, he had never felt such fear in front of Baili Changqing.

"You know, the last person who tried to control me, his body is still hanging on the cliff of Yumen Mountain in Fengju to dry in the sun." Lu Zhouxuer's cold eyes seemed to devour the abyss of the soul. Ye Yunzhou didn't even dare to look him in the eye. "You are so arrogant, are you also coveting the gods like that Wuxian man?"

Hearing this, Ye Yunzhou's eyes widened suddenly, and he wondered in panic and fear, did the other party know something? Lu Zhouxue didn't know what was in his heart, and just slowly inserted the ice cone condensed in the palm of his hand into Ye Yunzhou's forehead, saying: "I don't care about your life. Wait for the old case to be re-examined. From now on, everything will be left to fate. If you have not committed any crime, you will be fine."

“Otherwise—” Lu Zhouxue paused, and he tapped Ye Yunzhou’s forehead, where he had stabbed the ice cone but only left a little water stain, “The things in your head will make you unable to live or die.”

After Lu Zhouxue finished speaking, he let go of Ye Yunzhou and was thrown to the ground by him. At this time, Wei Ruge, who felt the prison door was opened, also came with his men late. He was stunned when he saw the scene in the prison. He looked at Lu Zhouxue, whose totem had not disappeared, and then looked at Ye Yunzhou, who had been lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. He didn't know what to say for a while. Finally, he asked Lu Zhouxue: "Brother, why are you here?"

Lu Zhouxue took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped her fingers clean, then said nonchalantly, "He wants to run away and make your master work in vain."

Although his words were concise, the cultivators present all recognized the demon-suppressing mark on his face. After a little thought, they understood what was going on. Upon hearing this, Wei Ruge kicked Ye Yunzhou and said, "You old ghost, you are restless even after being locked up. Are you looking for a fight?"

Wei Ruge almost let Ye Yunzhou run away. He thought it was his own negligence. He scolded Ye Yunzhou and ordered people to strengthen the security of the prison. Lu Zhouxue turned around and was about to leave. He hurriedly chased after him: "Where are you going, brother? I'll take you there."

"I'm going back to Phoenix Terrace. You have something important to do, so you don't have to see me off." Lu Zhouxue declined politely. Wei Ruge was a little disappointed when he heard that, but he still smiled and said, "Goodbye, Senior Brother. Remember to visit Master when you have time!"

Kong Que has now officially entered Jianmen. He and Xiao Fengzhuo can no longer teach much. Baili Changqing is the number one swordsman and the master of that girl. It is most appropriate for him to teach. Even if Wei Ruge did not mention it, Lu Zhouxue would go to Baili Changqing once. Naturally, he replied, "Yes."

After Wei Ruge left, Lu Zhouxue walked slowly back to Phoenix Terrace alone. The man who looked exactly like him re-dedicated himself, floating in front of Lu Zhouxue like a ghost, looking at him with a half-smile and said, "I thought you would kill him."

"If I commit murder recklessly, wouldn't that be fulfilling your wish?" Lu Zhouxue asked coldly. The ghost shrugged and floated to sit on his shoulder, with its jet-black hair hanging down, like a ghost seeking revenge: "What's wrong with becoming me? He is also an evil spirit."

"How can you be the same as him?" Lu Zhouxue raised her hand and swept him off her shoulder. She was so used to his words that she was indifferent. "I didn't see you before, why are you here again now?"

"It's the end of the year. You've been a human being in the secular world for a few days. You shouldn't have forgotten everything." The evil spirit floated in front of him and blocked Lu Zhouxue's way.

"Okay, get out of here." Lu Zhouxue waved her hand impatiently. The evil spirit also sneered and left a message before disappearing: "Next month, the Ghost Festival." On the Ghost Festival, Lu Zhouxue was startled, and then realized that another year had passed.

Xiao Fengzhuo followed Lu Zhouxue slowly from behind, his brows tightly furrowed. After coming out of the Beidu Court prison, the other party talked to himself all the way. His cultivation was lower than Lu Zhouxue's, but he was not discovered. It was conceivable how lax Lu Zhouxue was.

Lu Zhouxue returned to the Phoenix Terrace, but did not see Xiao Fengzhuo. Kong Que had set up a small wooden table in the courtyard and was reading a book of sword tactics. When he saw Lu Zhouxue coming back, he called out "Mom" in a crisp voice. Lu Zhouxue responded and asked, "Where is your brother Azhuo?"

"Xiao Shao said he went out to look for his mother." Peacock said.

This is possible, Lu Zhouxue nodded, but Xiao Fengzhuo knew where he was going, so how come he didn't meet him on the way?

Just as he was thinking, the gate of Phoenix Terrace seemed to be gently scratched. Lu Zhouxue patted Peacock's head and turned to open the door. When the door opened, a big black cat was sitting on the ground with its head tilted. Lu Zhouxue looked at it for a long time but couldn't recognize what it was. It looked like a lynx, but it was much bigger and the color was not right. His face changed again and again, and he managed to utter a sentence: "Miss Xiao?"
