Master is tempting, come to my disciple's arms

Bai Li did not see Xu Luoge in the main hall, and thought that he would come soon. However, after waiting for a long time, there were still only him and Mo Qianyu in this huge hall. Apart from him, no one else had set foot in.

Just as he was about to get up and pull Mo Qianyu away from here, he heard footsteps on the steps outside the palace gate. As the footsteps got closer and closer, Bai Li sat up from the rosewood chair without even looking at them, and shouted excitedly: "Master Brother, you are here, I want to discuss something with you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Qianyu and the person outside the palace gate were all stunned. The person who came was not Xu Luoge, but his direct disciple Ye Yifan.

Mo Qianyu was very familiar with him. During the five years that Bai Li was in seclusion, Ye Yifan took good care of him and Chu Yunze, looking after them like an elder brother. Whenever they were insulted and tripped up by other disciples, it was Ye Yifan who stood up for them. Because of his status as the sect master's eldest disciple, the disciples who bullied them did not dare to do so again. They were angry but could not speak out, and they never used any despicable means against them again.

Alas, a disciple without a master is like a weed! It's the same as a child without a mother.

Mo Qianyu greeted him politely: "Senior Brother!"

Ye Yifan also responded: "Junior brother."

Although the three of them were far apart, Bai Li could clearly feel the spiritual energy emanating from Ye Yifan. This man was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but his cultivation was among the best among the young elites, comparable to Mo Qianyu. He was worthy of being Xu Luoge's eldest disciple.

Ye Yifan took a few steps forward and stopped at an arm's length in front of Bai Li. He bowed and saluted. Although he recognized the wrong person, he was not embarrassed. It was others who were embarrassed. Ye Yifan looked like a little adult, mature and steady, with a hint of youthfulness on his face.

Ye Yifan didn't care when he found out that he was mistaken. He said calmly, "Uncle Bai, our master is in the study in the side hall. Please let me take you there."

After saying that, he stood aside waiting for Bai Li's instructions. It would be best to have someone lead the way, so he nodded and let Ye Yifan walk in front.

Looking at Ye Yifan standing in front of them and leading the way, Bai Li couldn't help but admire him in her heart. She didn't expect that there were so many handsome men in the cultivation world. No wonder it's so popular to wear clothes in the cultivation world. If she didn't wear them, she would be at a great loss!

Mo Qianyu followed Bai Li and saw that his master had a crazy look on his face, staring at Ye Yifan in front of him. He instantly felt jealous and the sour smell spread all over the place. He deliberately quickened his pace and walked right in front of Bai Li, blocking his master's entire sight.

Bai Li, who was watching happily, had three question marks in her mind? ? ?

"Qianyu, what are you doing? Stop blocking me, and stand beside me!"

Hearing the noise behind him, Ye Yifan suppressed the urge to look back. When did this Junior Brother Mo get along so well with his Master?

Mo Qianyu turned a deaf ear to what was said around him, and refused to take a step back no matter what Bai Li said. Anyway, if she wanted to look, she could only look at him, not other men or women. She had slept with him, so why was the master still so worrying!

After the three of them passed through the winding corridor, they came to a small courtyard. Outside the study, Ye Yifan stood at the door, facing the hollow carved wooden door, and reported loudly: "Master, Uncle Bai and Junior Brother Mo want to see you for something."

Before he finished speaking, the door opened automatically to both sides. There was no one behind the door. Only a warm and deep voice came: "Come in."

Bai Li walked straight forward with his apprentice. Ye Yifan did not follow them, but stood outside and carefully closed the door, while he waited outside.

There were tables and chairs in the study, and the air was filled with the fragrance of ink, making people feel that it was full of bookish atmosphere.

Behind the purple bamboo screen lies a large desk, on which pens, ink, paper and inkstone are neatly arranged. A slender figure stands in front of the desk, drawing something with a rabbit-hair brush in his hand.

"Brother Luo Li, you are here. Please choose a seat and sit freely. My study is a little small, not as spacious as the main hall."

Xu Luoge had just finished adding the last stroke and picked up the snow-blue bamboo-patterned handkerchief next to him to wipe the seams of his hands.

After asking the two to sit down, Xu Luoge poured two cups of tea for Bai Li and Mo Qianyu, poured himself a cup, and sat opposite them.

"Try it. This is the best Yunjian Snow Peak Tea. It tastes clear and sweet."

Although Bai Li likes to drink tea, he doesn't understand tea and can only smell that the quality of this tea is indeed good.

Xu Luoge knew that his junior brother would not come to him unless there was something urgent, so he would not come to him in such a anxious manner.

He stared at Bai Li, and always felt that his junior brother had a special aura. His temperament looked even more delicate, like a lingering flower that had been moistened. He felt that he must be a little crazy. How could he have such a thought in his mind?

"Just tell me what you have to say, Junior Brother."

Hearing this, Bai Li did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, explaining the whole story. After he finished speaking, he took out the photo stone and let Xu Luoge see the scene recorded inside.

Xu Luoge stared at the horrific scene in the photo stone with a serious expression. In an instant, a heavy atmosphere surged into the hearts of the three people.

After putting down the photo stone in his hand and returning it to Bai Li, he looked up at the two of them and said, "During the days you were away, you probably didn't know what happened in the cultivation world recently. When you mentioned this, it reminded me of another thing. Recently, many small sects have purchased a lot of tranquilizers from our Jiyue Mountain. These tranquilizers are not very helpful in improving cultivation, but can only calm the mind. Many cultivators use these pills when they meditate and retreat. What you don't know is that Junior Brother Wen and his disciples have been so busy these days that your little disciple has also been asked to help."

Apart from this, are there any other abnormalities? Xu Luoge felt that based on the image on the stone, he could not find anything wrong. At most, he thought that the disciples had met with misfortune during their training, but he had no idea who the murderer was.

When Bai Li heard this, he slapped his thigh. Oh no, he didn’t bring back the hair! This is the most crucial piece of evidence!

Mo Qianyu silently took out a few strands of red hair and said, "Master, this is what you are referring to. I brought it back for you."

"Oh, you are worthy of being the master's good disciple, so great!" Bai Li said while giving a thumbs up, the joy on his face was beyond words. Fortunately, there was Mo Qianyu, otherwise he would have to go back again. He didn't want to go again, otherwise, he would really have nightmares at night!

Taking the animal hair from the young man's hand, Xu Luoge could indeed feel the faint demonic energy on it, but the demonic energy was not that strong, which meant that this demonic beast could not have killed so many disciples at once. After looking at it carefully, he knew what kind of animal the hair belonged to.

"This is the hair of a red fox. Red foxes can be both good and evil, and can be spiritual animals or fierce beasts. They are not social animals and always go alone. A red fox that has just given birth is even more ferocious, and its maternal instinct will make it only see its cubs."

"Brother, Qianyu and I found these hairs on those dead disciples. We brought them back because we thought they were useful. I don't know if these hairs are related to those disciples and the reassurance pills you mentioned."

Xu Luoge had long since figured out which sect the robes worn by the dead monks belonged to, but that sect had not purchased the Reassurance Pills from them. The booklet clearly recorded which sect had purchased what elixir from them, except that the Qingfeng Sect had never purchased any. So this was what he found strange. Moreover, the fact that so many sects wanted the same elixir and purchased it in large batches made people feel suspicious.

These disciples belong to the Qingfeng sect. We cannot intervene in other sects' affairs openly, so we can only investigate secretly and ask the leaders of each peak to strengthen the disciples' defense and raise their vigilance.

Involving too many people will only make things worse. Currently, apart from the four major sects which are relatively stable, the other sects...

I’m afraid they might be colluding with the demons, which would be very difficult to deal with.

"Luo Li, you and Junior Brother Mo should go down first, so as not to alert the enemy."

Xu Luoge rubbed his temple gently. Being the leader of a sect was not an easy job. The greater the responsibility, the greater the burden.

Bai Li looked at Xu Luoge's appearance and said to him with concern from the bottom of his heart: "Brother, don't tire yourself out. We are still here."

Hearing this, Xu Luoge felt that Bai Li was becoming more and more humane. He would never say such a thing before. He responded, "Okay, Senior Brother, I'll listen to you."

The two walked back to Yunxiao Peak along the rugged mountain path. Seeing that there was no one around, Mo Qianyu secretly held Bai Li's right hand. Bai Li, who was still thinking about something, was frightened by this action and then realized that their right hands and left hands were already held together.

He didn't struggle or throw off, but let his apprentice go. Why bother about these things when they were already in the same bed? He wouldn't suffer any loss anyway.

The afterglow of the evening casually sprinkled on the edge of the woods, stretching the shadows of the two people longer and longer. This quiet path seemed to have no end. Mo Qianyu whispered to Bai Li from time to time, causing the man in white robes to chuckle. The sunset is so beautiful, I wish I had someone to share the sunset with.
