Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

The greedy mind is like a ruthless sword, not only cutting the lives of others, but also deeply piercing his soul. He thought he could control his own destiny, but the web broke on the illusory road, and trapped himself in this endless pursuit.

Alas, such a fate is really suspicious.

He looked down at the basket in his hand. The two huge Guijin gourds seemed extremely precious in this bizarre universe, as if they were the only comfort his soul could get.

"Whoosh—"

A burst of rapid noises interrupted the tranquility of the surroundings. A sturdy hand grabbed the most tempting fruit in the basket without hesitation, and the greedy eyes reflected the greed deep in his heart.

Xia Ye Tiangongjun raised his head hurriedly, and saw that the first of the ten monarchs, Qiu Yang Tianjun, was opening his hands and eating the precious melon cleanly. The sweet melon juice sprayed down and drew clear lines on his face, like a miracle in a painting.

"Who left, abandoning even fruits and vegetables?"

After munching on the food, Qiu Yang Tian Jun asked with his mouth full of melon juice, as if he was incredibly puzzled by this seemingly ordinary yet meaningful event.

Their duty is to guide the trajectory in this tortuous space, and all decision-making power is in their hands. Any cultivator who is willing to challenge the boundless starry sky and is unwilling to stand in the long dragon waiting must offer his own gifts to enter their field of vision.

The pain of the summer night was frightening, it was a scene that was exchanged for blood and tears. When he saw the senior in front of him eating his treasures in one breath and trying to touch a few more, he quickly stopped this behavior and snatched one of them.

After taking a small bite, he replied, "It was when my two inner school brothers went to Bi Qiu." Their actions and decisions were always full of mystery, leaving people guessing.

"Oh, so it was them. No wonder they were so generous," Qiu Yang Tianjun exclaimed, with admiration in his laughter. "Yesterday, I sent them to Uttarakuru for a herb collection trip. After such a long journey, they could only give me two healing pills in return. But look at your good luck. You got such a rich harvest in such a simple journey to Biqiu."

"Well…."

Faced with this, Xia Ye could only shake his head helplessly, his heart filled with deep remorse and guilt. Why was his gift taken for granted?

"Are you okay?" Seeing Xia Ye in the heaven acting so abnormal, Qiu Yang asked him in surprise. After years of getting along with each other, he had control over the other's emotional fluctuations.

"Nothing." Xia Ye responded softly. He had secretly decided in his heart that despite signing the "contract", he would still be loyal to his mission and stick to his duties, because this was his only way to salvation.

"Not bad." Qiu Yang nodded, and naturally took the precious sunflower gourd from Xia Ye's hand. "You don't seem to like its taste, so let me help you satisfy your craving."

"Hey, I didn't eat this melon!" Xia Ye felt embarrassed and shy when he heard this.

"It's okay, as long as you don't mind." Looking at the awkward smile on the other person's face, Xia Ye couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh in his heart.

Those fruits originally existed for his own benefit, and he felt like he was being betrayed, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

...

Deep in the vast sea, there are countless fairy islands and sacred mountains. A handsome young Taoist gently floated down from the clouds and finally landed on a small island thousands of miles away from Jin'ao Island.

The moment he landed on the island, he immediately alerted his surroundings and carefully checked whether there were any suspicious magic formations around him. Only after he confirmed that everything was safe and sound did he breathe a sigh of relief, but his expression also became a little anxious.

In view of the failure of the previous plan and the risk of being discovered by the opponent, he always acted cautiously to prevent any accidents.

Fortunately, the sudden actions of those gods with "ears and fixed light" and other people, although seemingly the act of a weakling trying to stop a rock with an egg, actually served to divert firepower and protect himself from exposure, so that he escaped the disaster.

"They became scapegoats," he thought. By speculating on the fate of that group of people, it was not difficult to imagine the cruelty and ruthlessness of the opponent's methods, which made him realize that if he was really found, the consequences would be equally terrible.

Thinking of this, he cut off all external contacts and kept a low profile during this period of time.

But things have changed recently: he took out a communication bead and gently crushed the surface with his fingers.

The breeze blew gently, and the dust formed a sturdy figure in the air. Its brows were slightly furrowed, "What are you looking for again?"

The young Taoist bowed and said, "Your Excellency the Demon Saint, please give me your advice."

"No need to be so polite..." The Demon Saint clapped his hands lightly and said in a hoarse voice. "Just tell me your purpose. If you don't have something important, don't disturb me while I am practicing."

Although his face was lowered to hide some of his emotions, the young Taoist still had a hint of bitterness and anger in his heart. But when he looked up, his expression changed and he smiled like a flower: "Actually, I heard recently that the fragments of the Mixed Bell were found in Northern Juluzhou. I would like to ask if you are interested in participating?"

"Well, your information is indeed reliable. There has indeed been relevant news circulating for some time. However, with your identity, it may be difficult for you to get involved in the fiercely competitive Uttarakuru Continent, right?" The Demon Saint asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Of course it's hard to get away." The young Taoist shook his head and said seriously. "However, as long as the news is released soon, the man 'Yu Yuan' will definitely go there. My lord, remember that you will not leave the world easily. If he comes to you, please intercept him and take away the 'Mixed Bell Fragments'.

After hearing this, the other party said: "From my perspective, I know that 'Yu Yuan' is definitely not a good person." Suddenly, he whispered: "In order to meet your request, we sent Qiongqi and others to fight him, but in the end, they all died at the hands of this person!"

"As expected." The young man smiled and said, "Are you afraid?"

"presumptuous!"

"I have roamed the ancient world, so why should I fear the word! Stop using words to bully me." Seeing the other party's provocation, "If you want the 'Fragments of the Mixed Bell', come to Uttarakuru in person. I will not help others snatch treasures!" The Demon Saint scolded loudly, and his expression showed that he did not buy into the provocation hidden in the other party's words.

The young Taoist shook his head, expressing his understanding of the Demon Saint's misunderstanding. "Sir, please forgive my recklessness. I have given up on the Chaos Bell fragment. Now my only wish is to eliminate the remaining element."

"If we can kill him, how about you keep the fragment? I think the three pieces should be able to restore about half of the power of the Chaos Bell after they are put together." Hearing the young Taoist's words, the Demon Saint's face relaxed a little. After thinking for a while, he said, "If we only need to deal with this enemy, then I will consider it."

With excitement flashing across his face, the young Taoist bowed deeply in thanks: "Sir, I really don't know how to thank you."

When the voice fell, the strong man's figure faded into the air and disappeared. The young Taoist stood up, with a look of contempt on his face.

"Feelings and the like are nothing but illusions. What really matters is the interests of the people!"

puff~

As the sound of the cork being uncorked rang out, the Qujie boat once again merged into the scene of the chaotic world. The entire movement was extremely smooth and there was no sense of turbulence or vibration. "We have arrived at Qingqiu."

As Yu Yuan gently pushed Huo Ling'er who was holding him, he said, "Stay well in Qingqiu. Don't forget to learn how to use weapons from me. You said you wanted to learn from Bai Ling how to use dual guns and sticks at the same time?"

"You will have plenty of time to learn later." Huo Linger hugged Yu Yuan's arm tightly, and said softly in between the slightly swaying movements: "Dear Junior Brother, I want to go to Beijuluzhou. As a top-class Golden Immortal, I will definitely help you realize your dream. You can take me with you."

"As long as you stay here, you will be the greatest help to me." Yu Yuan responded to this brute force request without any hesitation.

"Well, relax a bit, or you will be laughed at by others. How embarrassing it is for a master of a sect to resort to such tactics?" Huo Ling'er retorted disdainfully: "I will never leave! I will stay by your side no matter what you say!"

Yu Yuan frowned slightly, "You make me sound like someone who abandons his partner." At this moment, a fairy in white appeared in front of him. She smiled gently and had a beautiful face. She bowed politely, "The hostess greets this gentleman and all the ancients."

Hearing Yu Yuan's strange look, it turned out that this little girl also knew how to adapt. "No need to bow." Bai Ling smiled and shook his head. "The relationship between us is deep and sincere. As your waitress, I only wish you happiness and health, nothing else."

"Indeed, it's good. It's good... Hey, your cultivation seems to have improved a lot?" The Fire Spirit Girl looked at ** in amazement. "When we first met, you had not yet achieved the Golden Immortal level. Now, not only have you achieved the Golden Immortal level, but you are also about to open up the top three palaces... Based on this growth rate, if you are given some more time, you will probably reach the Daluo realm, right?"

** Glancing at Yu Yuan, her pretty face turned a light red. "Maybe it's because you've been helping me practice more during this period."

"oh?"

The Fire Spirit Girl looked at Yu Yuan in confusion, and said angrily: "Nephew, since you know this ability, why don't you help me practice it?"

“Cough, cough!”

Yu Yuan couldn't tell whether the other party was teasing him or really didn't know, so he had to change the subject anxiously and looked at **, "Have you received any information from Beijuluzhou in the past few days?"

** Every day I would sort out the information sent back from all over the world and I knew it clearly. After hearing his question, I answered without hesitation:

"A piece of news came last night that there were changes in the Northern Continent, and many demons gathered in the center of the Cuiping Mountain area. But the specific reason has not yet been found out."

Yu Yuan nodded in agreement.
