The group's favorite junior sister returns to save the whole family of resentful villains

Ji Qingzhou did not answer Xie Ziye. The moment she tore open the talisman, the poisonous snakes that were flying towards her were directly frozen and fell to the ground.

She stepped over the snakes that had frozen into popsicles and came to Ji Qiuyu who was lying on the ground.

The bloody and colorful snake was still protecting Ji Qiuyu, but its breath was weak and it was on the verge of death.

"Hiss..."

The long snake made a threatening sound towards Ji Qingzhou.

Ji Qingzhou glanced at it and said, "Why are you being so mean to me? Your master has lost his mind, don't you know?"

After saying that, Ji Qingzhou took out the mermaid candle from her arms and lit it with a talisman.

A bean-sized warm yellow flame lit up, illuminating Ji Qiuyu's blurry vision.

"The soul returns."

As Ji Qingzhou finished speaking, a blood-red figure screamed and was pulled out of Ji Qiuyu's body by an invisible force.

Ji Qiuyu took a long breath. He was seriously injured and the sound was like a broken bellows. It hurt in his chest just listening to it.

Seeing the blood-red figure being put away by the mermaid candle, Ji Qingzhou raised his finger to extinguish the candle flame and looked down at Ji Qiuyu: "Are you okay?"

Ji Qiuyu looked confused, as if he had not yet reacted.

Ji Qingzhou took out a bottle of healing medicine, threw it into his arms, and said, "If you don't have the strength, go out and ask the weak to help you or Brother Xiao to help you."

Ji Qiuyu grinned: "I... beg?"

Ji Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let your snake be buried with you."

Ji Qiuyu closed his mouth and glared at Ji Qingzhou irritably.

Ji Qingzhou held the mermaid candle, and with just a thought, the portal opened. She tied the powerless long snake around Ji Qiuyu's neck and pushed him into the portal.

"Wait, why don't you come out..."

Just as Ji Qiuyu was about to speak, he fell into the portal.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Ji Qingzhou turned around and looked at Xie Ziye.

The portal closed behind her.

Xie Ziye looked at her, his expression slightly relaxed: "I haven't found you yet..."

He paused at this point and changed the subject abruptly: "Fellow Daoist Ji, if you don't want to go out, do you have something else to do? Do you need my help?"

Ji Qingzhou took in the worry that flashed across his eyes and chuckled, "Why did you fight with Fellow Daoist Ji?"

"Something strange happened in the secret realm. I wanted to look for you guys, but I ran into Fellow Daoist Ji. He started fighting with me without saying a word."

Xie Ziye said: "I didn't want to get entangled with him, but he tried to kill me. I had to fight back and try to subdue him and see what he was like."

Ji Qingzhou asked: "So you beat him like that?"

Xie Ziye was silent for a moment, his voice a little difficult: "Friend Ji, I really..."

"I know."

Ji Qingzhou nodded: "You didn't intend to kill him. If you had the intention to kill him, he wouldn't have waited for me to save him."

Xie Ziye was startled when he heard this. He looked at Ji Qingzhou and said, "You...believe me?"

Ji Qingzhou smiled and said, "Don't you know? I have always believed in you."

Hearing this, Xie Ziye was stunned, and a look of bewilderment appeared on his face: "Fellow Daoist Ji, you, I..."

Ji Qingzhou smiled faintly at Xie Ziye: "So, even if you tried to kill me again and again, I didn't expose you."

After she finished speaking, Xie Ziye's voice paused, and the expression on his face was frozen as ice.

"what?!"

Ji Qingzhou was thinking when he heard Yuhuo’s scream.

After sealing the demon seed, the girl removed the distortion of her cognition and she could hear voices again.

Yuhuo couldn't believe it: "Xie Ziye wanted to kill you again and again, so he——"

"Is he the demon cultivator?"

A light bulb went off in the bald chick's mind.

Many things that are difficult to explain now have answers.

Ji Qingzhou did not respond to the questions in the chat group, she just looked at Xie Ziye quietly.

She watched as the emotions on the man's face gradually faded, and he finally looked at her expressionlessly.

"You knew all along?"

Xie Ziye spoke, his usual gentleness gone, only indifference.

He was asking Ji Qingzhou, but his tone was unusually certain.

Just as Ji Qingzhou knew that Xie Ziye wanted to kill her, Xie Ziye seemed to have already determined that Ji Qingzhou was aware of his murderous intentions.

"I don't know when you started counting the time you said 'always', but your words confirm one thing for me - it seems like you've wanted to kill me for a long time."

Ji Qingzhou said: "The first time I really guessed that you wanted to kill me was when we met in Liantian Sea. Fu Ruo and I were looking for the Flame Sea, and you were also training here, but you knew nothing about the legend of the Flame Sea. Isn't that strange?"

When these monks went down the mountain to train, it was not like what was written in the storybooks, where they just found a place, drew their swords and started chopping spirit beasts.

Training is not just for practicing swordsmanship, but also for gaining knowledge.

Therefore, wherever they went, they would first ask the local people about the local customs, people, and legends.

This is also of great benefit to their spiritual cultivation.

As the new generation genius of the Supreme Sword Sect, how could Xie Ziye be a person who works in isolation?

He also has to interact with people when he goes out.

Since you went to Liantian Sea for training, how could you not know the legend of Flame Sea?

From then on, Ji Qingzhou suspected that he did not come to Liantianhai by conventional means.

More importantly, the jade pendant that Bald Chicken gave her was also a warning to her that Xie Ziye wanted to kill her.

When Ji Qingzhou was in Liantianhai, he often came into close contact with Xie Ziye, always trying to test his murderous intent towards him.

He was also thinking whether he should take his life when he was off guard.

In the end, Ji Qingzhou chose to believe Xie Ziye.

"The reason you appeared in Liantian Sea is not for training, right?"

Ji Qingzhou said: "That day in the underground secret realm within the Qianji Sect, the demon cultivator who almost killed Pei Luofeng with one sword was you."

Xie Ziye did not answer her question immediately, but stared at her for a while before slowly speaking: "Is this the first time you remember seeing me like that?"

Ji Qingzhou asked back: "Do you think I've seen you in the form of a demon cultivator before, and that's why I've always wanted to kill me to silence me?"

Liu Furuo always wanted to know whether she and Xie Ziye had known each other for a long time.

The answer was yes. She had met Xie Ziye a long time ago during his training.

In the years that followed, every time she went down the mountain to gain experience, she would meet Xie Ziye by various coincidences.

Their encounters are always hidden and unknown.

This is also the reason why outsiders think that they have no intersection and have never met each other.

Now it seems that everything was done intentionally by Xie Ziye.

Over the years, the two had met secretly countless times, and it was all Xie Ziye testing her and thinking to himself whether he should kill her.

“…You are very smart.”

Xie Ziye did not deny it, "We met eleven years ago, when you were not yet famous in the world of immortal cultivation."

At this point, he paused, then said, "It's just that you don't remember."

"Eleven years ago..."

When Ji Qingzhou was a child, he stayed in the Wuliang Sect to practice hard and rarely interacted with others.

Only once, that was Master’s birthday.

Ji Qingzhou was listening to his senior sisters and brothers talking about the birthday gifts they were going to give to Taoist Bai Wei, and suddenly he realized that he had to eat and use what his master gave him.

Even if it is to give a gift to the Master, it should be spent on Master's spirit stones.

Although she was young, she was ambitious, so she took the low-grade elixirs she had made and went to the town at the foot of the mountain to sell them.

On the way back from selling elixirs and buying birthday gifts, Ji Qingzhou encountered some unexpected events.

Some demonic cultivators appeared near Wuwei Town.

Ji Qingzhou looked at Xie Ziye and suddenly said, "Eleven years ago, I went down the mountain once. I heard that there were demon cultivators causing trouble at the foot of the mountain, but they were quickly killed."

She asked, "What did you have to do with that?"
