The years I was in the human world

On the second day, Ye Jin brought him the documents related to the old case in Dongshan. He was silent for a long time in front of the bare main hall of Fenghuangtai. He looked at Lu Zhouxue with a look that was hard to describe. At that time, the latter was digging a hole in the backyard to plant an osmanthus tree. Seeing him looking at her like this, she looked confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Ye Jin glanced away. How could he put it? The man in front of him was too casual. He had such a cold face but was digging a hole with his bare hands. It looked inappropriate no matter how he looked at it.

Since Ye Jin was here, Lu Zhouxue washed his hands with water, and then invited him to the side hall: "Kong Qing is sleeping in the main hall." This sentence explained the reason. Ye Jin didn't care about it. He nodded and followed Lu Zhouxue.

"...Senior's side hall is too empty." Ye Jin looked at the equally empty side hall with a slight twitch in his mouth. After listening, Lu Zhouxue took a look at his own side hall and felt that it was a bit shabby. He pursed his lips in annoyance and quietly avoided Ye Jin's gaze. However, the expression on his face was too calm, so Ye Jin did not even notice that he was embarrassed.

The table made of ice and snow rose from the ground as Lu Zhouxue raised his hand. The crystal clear ice and snow reflected the skylight, exquisite and beautiful.

Ye Jin looked at the table that Lu Zhouxue had created with ease, and was not obviously surprised for a moment. He quickly suppressed the strangeness in his heart and tried his best to look calm - everyone knew that Zhu Huangyu Zhao could control fire like breathing, and she could slay all evil spirits with the Zhaoyang Sword. The only thing that could restrain her was something extremely cold. Now that Lu Zhouxue was creating ice and snow with ease, didn't she change even her soul?

"Sit down." Lu Zhouxue could see what Ye Jin was thinking at a glance, but smart people know how to stop at a certain point. He did not intend to continue arguing about his and Zhu Huang Yuzhao's identities. He directly opened the document that Ye Jin brought and started reading it on the desk. When he lowered his head, the silver hair on his temples slid down, covering half of his beautiful face.

The records of the judgment process and results of the old Dongshan case were relatively detailed, but the causes were only briefly mentioned, which was within Lu Zhouxue's expectations.

The case was heard by the Beidu Court, an agency in the final court specifically responsible for managing improper activities of cultivators, similar to the Zongrenfu in the human world.

"Li Lanyin?" Lu Zhouxue flipped through the pages quickly, but stopped when he saw the presiding judge. He subconsciously looked up a woman's face full of disgust from Yu Zhao's memory. She seemed to be... Before Lu Zhouxue could figure out what was going on, Ye Jin saw him pause, leaned over to take a look, and then said in a complicated tone: "This is my grandmother."

It seems that life is really different after Nirvana. He even forgot his mother.

"Grandmother?" Lu Zhouxue looked up at Ye Jin, his thoughts immersed in memories. He looked a little confused. After a moment, he realized that Ye Jin's grandmother was Yu Zhao's biological mother.

However, the biological mother personally executed her own daughter, saying that it was a show of justice but from Yu Zhao's perspective, it was really cruel.

The file was quickly read, and Lu Zhouxue had an idea in mind. Yu Zhao's faults were nothing more than two points. The first was Ling Zhong's prediction that she would kill her mother. Now that people are dead, it is naturally not counted; the second was the disaster at Dongshan.

The truth behind the Dongshan incident cannot be verified because few people know about it and there is suspicion of false evidence. If one wants to overturn the verdict, other evidence is naturally needed.

Lu Zhouxue closed the document and sighed softly.

"Now, only Yaoguang and father know the truth of the Dongshan old case. It's normal that it's difficult to investigate." Ye Jin thought that he sighed because the Dongshan old case was difficult and he was troubled by the problem, so he spoke out to comfort him. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhouxue raised his eyes and glanced at him faintly. Although it was not obvious, Ye Jin seemed to see disgust for herself in his eyes?

If there was a Sad Red Mirror, no matter if it was the disaster at Dongshan or the prophecy of Phoenix killing its mother, everything could be seen clearly. But Lu Zhouxue was just thinking about it. Not to mention that the Sad Red Mirror was replaced every thousand years, the old one had been broken by Xiao Jin. Even if it was not broken, the Eastern Void Land where the Sad Red Mirror was located was not something he could go to now.

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment. At this moment, accompanied by a slight creaking sound, the door of the side hall was pushed open a crack, and the little peacock stood there looking at Lu Zhouxue timidly. She was a little scared, wondering if she had disturbed her mother's conversation. But she was hungry, so hungry that she couldn't stand it. Lu Zhouxue had reinforced the barrier of the Phoenix Terrace, and she couldn't get out, so she could only come to find him.

Seeing Peacock coming, Lu Zhouxue temporarily stopped talking with Ye Jin and waved to the little girl. Peacock moved timidly to his side as he was told.

Lu Zhouxue pulled the little girl into her arms and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Kong Que raised her eyes and looked at Ye Jin fearfully without saying anything. Lu Zhouxue followed her gaze, then turned her gaze away and soothed her, "Don't be afraid of him, just say it."

"Hungry." Kong Que grabbed Lu Zhouxue's sleeve and said she was hungry. Lu Zhouxue rubbed her head, looked down into her sleeve, and took out a stack of cheese and stuffed it into Kong Que. After thinking for a while, she took out a bowl of sweet wine and said, "Eat it."

When Lu Zhouxue pulled up her sleeve, a small section of her arm was exposed, and there seemed to be some faint mark on it. Ye Jin saw it, frowned, and said nothing.

Peacock walked away happily with cheese in one hand and sweet wine in the other. He never looked at Ye Jin once from beginning to end. It seemed that he was extremely disappointed with his brother.

Seeing the little girl's complete alienation towards him, Ye Jin felt a little uncomfortable even though he knew in his heart that it was his own fault. He looked at Lu Zhouxue, who seemed to be out of touch with the world, taking out snacks to coax the child, and was somewhat surprised: "Kong Qing originally had nothing to do with you, senior. I didn't expect you to have such a kind heart."

Ye Jin didn't mean to be sarcastic when he said this, he was simply sighing. After all, Lu Zhouxue seemed to be completely indifferent to everything.

"Everyone has a compassionate heart. Why are you so surprised?" Lu Zhouxue said calmly. He handed the document back to Ye Jin. "The Zhaoyang Sword is with Yaoguang, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Ye Jin put the document back into his sleeve and nodded.

"After all, it is the relic of the little peacock's mother. It would be nice to bring it back for her as a reminder." Lu Zhouxue said. No one knew Peacock's current state of mind better than him. With no relatives to turn to, it would be better for him to have a thought. It was a pity for his osmanthus plant in Yuluan Palace. Now that the palace collapsed, the osmanthus plant would surely be lost.

"The Zhaoyang Sword can attract phoenix fireworks and is a powerful weapon for eradicating evil spirits. Based on Yaoguang's personality, I'm afraid she won't give it to you easily." Ye Jin hesitated. He had asked for Yu Zhao's sword many times in the past, but was rejected every time with various reasons.

"Things are different now. Yu Zhao is dead. She has no choice but to give away the dead man's belongings." Lu Zhouxue said. If Yaoguang really didn't want to give it, she could just snatch it away. After all, she is an old immortal with tens of thousands of years of Taoism practice. Can't she deal with Yaoguang?

A few days later, Lu Zhouxue still didn't think of arranging furniture on the Phoenix Terrace, but he was busy planting the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. One day, he was burying wine under the osmanthus tree when suddenly a disciple came to invite him to go to the Zhongting Fuhua Palace.

Fuhua Hall is the main hall of Zhongting, where monks usually discuss important matters. The monks of Zhongting are all the best from major sects, with a relatively large number from Changyang. Therefore, Zhongting is also located in Changyang. Fuhua Hall is actually the main hall of Changyang sect.

But now that Zhu Huang Yuzhao has passed away, looking for him at this critical juncture, it must be said that when Lu Zhouxue was in Buzhou Mountain, Taihuang summoned him in the same way, so he was a little cautious.

As soon as they arrived at the Fuhua Palace, as expected, there was a large group of people standing there. Lu Zhouxue's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but he secretly looked around at all the people, and then silently matched them one by one with the people in Yu Zhao's memory. Basically, everyone involved in the old case in Dongshan was there. No matter how stupid Lu Zhouxue was, he realized what was going on today.

This was a test specifically for him, but what was it testing? Lu Zhouxue lowered his eyes and hid his emotions. Today he was the protagonist, so after entering, he stood in the middle and was still being looked at by others openly.

Lu Zhouxue was already a stunning beauty in the God Realm, and now that she has come down to the Zhongting, she is still a beauty. Her frosty eyelashes raise and lower, her eyes are sparkling and she seems to want to say something but does not. Her cold temperament has not diminished her charm in the slightest, but instead makes people want to destroy his bright and handsome appearance and watch him fall into depravity.

No one could connect him with Yu Zhao.

As soon as Lu Zhouxue arrived, the meeting specially prepared for him today began naturally.

"Xue Feng, Lu Zhouxue, right?" Ye Yunzhou sat on the high seat and looked at the person standing below in white. He didn't believe Lu Zhouxue's words at first. After all, how could the Phoenix Nirvana even change a person? Until a few days ago, Ye Jin came back and told him that Lu Zhouxue was very good at controlling ice. Zhu Huang Yuzhao's spiritual root was clearly fire, which was completely incompatible with ice.

Lu Zhouxue raised his eyes and looked back at Ye Yunzhou coldly. He was very annoyed by the other party's condescending look: "I thought we had made it clear when we first met. Why are you still asking this question today? Are you deaf?"

"Ha, you're very sharp-tongued." Someone in the crowd said this with a smile.

Ye Yunzhou was naturally upset when Lu Zhouxue humiliated him in public, but today's situation was not for verbal pleasure, and the other party was a beauty, so no matter how angry he was, he calmly said: "A few days ago, the phoenix passed away, and since then, there is only Xuefeng Lu Zhouxue, and no Zhuhuang Yuzhao. According to Master Lingzhong's words, the past and the future are written off, and the mistakes of Zhuhuang cannot be imposed on Xuefeng. I hope you all know this."

Ye Yunzhou's words were powerful and at first glance, it seemed that he was indeed helping Lu Zhouxue solve the problems left over by Yu Zhao. At least no one would bring up Yu Zhao's affairs again in the future. But if you think about it carefully, there are problems everywhere.

If Ye Yunzhou wanted to conceal the past events at Dongshan, he should have spared no effort to kill him. After all, it was well known that the Phoenix Nirvana would inherit memories. But if he thought about it more deeply, wouldn't it be better to kill Yu Zhao directly to conceal the secret? Why should he spare her life?

Today's speech was not so much to clear his name as to prevent him from being implicated in Yu Zhao's old case. He inherited Yu Zhao's memory, so he was not standing aside from the matter. He was deliberately concealing something, unless it was something that Yu Zhao didn't know either.

He couldn't kill Yu Zhao, and he had to conceal her. Even Master Ling Zhong was involved. Was the disaster at Dongshan really just a simple frame-up by Yaoguang? Lu Zhouxue thought, maybe he could only find out by going to Dongshan in person.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he still had to put on a show of solidarity. Ye Yunzhou's words proved his identity for him and objectively saved him a lot of trouble. At least no one would point fingers at him and scold him anymore in the future, so Lu Zhouxue thanked him sincerely.

The reason for making such a big fuss today was naturally not just to announce such a small matter. Ye Yunzhou then said, "After all, there is a difference between humans and demons. Yu Zhao is dead. Since you are Xue Feng, you still need to engrave a spiritual seal like her."

The so-called spiritual seal is actually a means of enslavement used by human cultivators to capture demon cultivators. Once the mark is engraved, the soul is also controlled by the owner of the mark, and it is completely out of one's control. If Lu Zhouxue did what Ye Yunzhou said, he would have found a master for himself. He would have to be crazy to agree to it.

Lu Zhouxue laughed suddenly after hearing this. He seemed to have guessed the reason why Yu Zhao was left alive. Others didn't know why he laughed, but seeing his beautiful smile, they were all distracted for a moment and wanted to become his master. Even if it wasn't for that reason, it would be great to have this little phoenix as a pet.

Everyone thought they were hiding their thoughts well, but Lu Zhouxue could see through them all. When he was thinking about how to push the matter of the spiritual seal away, Ye Jin, who was hidden in the crowd, suddenly said, "Since he still has Yu Zhao's mark on him, there should be no need to get a new one, right?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Ye Yunzhou immediately mobilized his magic power to investigate and found that it was indeed the case. However, he didn't know how Ye Jin knew it. He glanced at the latter with a hidden gaze and said nothing. Naturally, the whole matter ended like this.

Lu Zhouxue felt the fluctuation of magic power coming from his arm, and his heart sank. He thought that was the so-called spiritual seal, but he didn't find it until Ye Yunzhou activated it. He looked up at Ye Yunzhou, who seemed relieved on the high seat, with murderous intent in his eyes. The spiritual seal could indeed not be removed, but if the owner of the mark was dead, then it would make no difference if it was removed.

The Hongmen Banquet against him ended quickly. The cultivators achieved their desired goals and left with satisfaction. Lu Zhouxue walked back to the Phoenix Terrace with a gloomy face. He was planning to kill Ye Yunzhou before the trip to Dongshan, but he didn't expect to be hit on the head by a flower.

A large kapok flower fell to the ground. When Lu Zhouxue looked up, he saw a man between a teenager and a young man sitting on the low wall, smiling at him. When he saw him looking over, he tilted his head and said, "Hello, Mianmian."

The man was dressed in black, with his jet-black hair tied in a high bun on top of his head. The hair in front of his forehead fell to the corners of his eyes, hiding half of the sharpness of his eyebrows and eyes; teardrop moles like mourning fell at the corners of his eyes, making him look gorgeous and charming; because he was smiling, two sharp teeth were revealed at the corners of his grinning mouth, like the canine teeth of a cat.

Meeting his amber eyes, Lu Zhouxue's inner evaluation was: a beautiful yet dangerous beauty.

"Hello." Lu Zhouxue nodded at him, paused, and added, "Xiao Hei."

“Hahahaha.” The man was amused by Lu Zhouxue and couldn’t help laughing. He jumped down from the low wall, looked at Lu Zhouxue and said, “My name is not Xiao Hei.”

Lu Zhouxue looked at him and didn't ask any questions, but the meaning in her eyes was very clear.

"Xiao Fengzhuo." said the man.
