"Qihuangzi" said seriously:

"Are you threatening me, fellow Taoist?"

Qingye responded sternly:

"Threat? No!

I sincerely hope to have a frank and sincere communication with you, but you responded in the most annoying way."

"You should know what it means to us to set aside a separate area from Qinglin Peak for outsiders to use.

If we cannot even achieve basic mutual trust, even if you hold a lot of military merit, even if the reputation of Qingxuan Sect is damaged, we will not agree!"

"Qihuangzi" stared at Qingye with a serious face. After a while, he suddenly said:

"You want to have frank and sincere communication, but now you are so angry... Do you think I am not frank and sincere?"

Qingye didn't speak, just looked at him.

In his expression, the meaning was expressed very clearly, "Isn't this obvious?"

"Qihuangzi" shook his head, smiled, and sighed:

"It seems that there are some problems in the communication between us."

"..."

Qing Ye's eyes became confused, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence.

Qing Zhan, who had been watching, asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Qihuangzi" looked at her and asked:

"Just now, fellow Taoist Qingye asked me whether the abnormal situations that occurred in Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, and Kurosawa Plain were all caused by me and the 'Qihuangmen'. I asked what the abnormality was.

There’s nothing wrong with my answer, why did he suddenly change his face?”

Having said this, "Qihuangzi" spread his hands, confused and innocent.

But his expression not only made the flames in Qingye's eyes a little brighter, Qingzhan's bright eyes also quietly became sharp, saying:

"First of all, through some circumstantial evidence, we are more than 80% sure that the anomalies that occurred in Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, and Kurosawa Plain are directly or indirectly related to you;

Secondly, even if these anomalies really have nothing to do with you, we never believe that you still know nothing about the anomalies that occurred in these three places to this day!"

"Qihuangzi" suddenly nodded and said:

"It seems that this is the source of the misunderstanding between us.

Maybe there is some ambiguity in my expression, so I would change "what abnormality" to "which abnormality" would be more accurate."

Having said this, "Qihuangzi" looked at the two of them and said seriously:

"You guys are going to say that the anomalies in Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, and Kurosawa Plain are all caused by me, but I don't admit it."

"???"

For a moment, Qing Ye and Qing Zhan all turned into question mark faces and starry eyes, looking silly and cute at the same time.

But soon, the two of them woke up, and the throbbing of their souls, the beating of their heartbeats, and the trembling of their pupils all became uncontrollable.

The two couldn't help but look at each other. In the most primitive exchange of gazes, there were countless emotions that only they could understand.

Qingye spoke again, but felt his throat was dry for no reason.

"So, some of the abnormalities are indeed caused by you?"

"Yeah." "Qihuangzi" nodded.

"Which part?" Qingye asked.

"The number of third-order monsters is abnormal." "Qihuangzi" said.

Hearing the other party's "understatement" admission, Qingye couldn't help but his eyelids twitching.

If he had been able to pull out such powerful information from the other party before, Qingye would have regarded it as the biggest gain of this trip.

The two of them made such a surprise attack as soon as "Qihuangzi" arrived at Qingxuanzong. The purpose was to verify this matter, and at the same time, it was also a thorough investigation of "Qihuangzi" and "Qihuangmen".

But now, he doesn't have much hope of getting a conclusive answer.

The new "suspense" has tightly gripped his and Qingzhan's hearts.

"Besides, are there any other abnormalities among the three evil veins?"

Finally, Qing Ye asked the question straightforwardly.

"Qihuangzi" nodded, "Yeah."

"What is it?"

Qing Ye continued to ask, but he didn't realize that his voice was trembling uncontrollably when he asked this question.

This reflects the changes in his inner mood from the side.

There is no reason why he is so "unsteady". As the ancestor of the Qingxuan Sect, he claims to be the one who stands at the top of the Qingxuan Domain, has the most mastery and the most complete understanding of everything in the Qingxuan Domain. Suddenly, he was told that this was just

hallucination…

He didn't say "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible" on the spot, which was already an amazing display of determination.

"Qihuangzi" looked at Qingye, then at Qingzhan, shook his head in disappointment and said, "It seems that you don't know yet."

Qing Ye had recovered again and said with an ugly expression: "Fellow Taoist, is it really fun to play with us?"

Of course he is not stupid. Looking from the back to the front at this moment, he can naturally see clearly that this "Qihuangzi" must have been pretending just now, and he had already expected that such an answer would make them both unhappy -

He did it on purpose!

This old guy, despite his appearance, is not a serious person at heart.

"Qihuangzi" laughed and immediately asked: "You want to know now?"

"Of course." Qing Ye.

"Qihuangzi" nodded.

"It's not impossible, but I'm worried that it will dampen your interest.

How about I wait until your centenary celebration is over to discuss this matter with you?

Anyway, if you know it later, it’s better to know it earlier, it won’t be a big hindrance.”

Qing Ye was dissatisfied, and Qing Zhan next to him was also dissatisfied and said, "Fellow Taoist, can you stop titillating people? What you do is really annoying!"

"Qihuangzi" nodded and said:

"Okay, but it may not be so intuitive to understand just by dictating it. I will take you directly to the scene to see it."

"Go now?" Qing Ye.

"Go now." "Qihuangzi".

Qingye stared at "Qihuangzi". After a moment, he nodded slightly and said: "Okay... I will make arrangements."

"Qihuangzi" felt a slight fluctuation in his soul, centered on Qingye, moving away into the distance.

Soon, "Qihuangzi" saw three people flying from different directions in the distance.

One of them, a plain-looking man in gray robe, was a few years older than Qing Ye.

He looked featureless and was the first to appear next to Qing Ye and Qing Zhan.

He looked at "Qihuangzi", nodded slightly, and then he said hello, and then stood next to Qingye Qingzhan without saying a word.

This man looked ordinary and had no edge, but in Meng Zhou's eyes, he looked like a magic weapon hidden in a sheath, with edge hidden inside.

Later, Qing Ye introduced that this person was named "Qing Feng" and he was the most indifferent among the five elders of Qing Xuan and the one who disliked dealing with common people the least.

The two people who came after him were an old man with white beard and hair, who was most similar to "Qihuangzi" in appearance and age, Qingyao.

A woman who is quite charming, but not enchanting at all, but gives people a sense of magnanimity and generosity, Qingtang.

Compared to Qing Feng, the two of them were obviously much more talkative. After arriving, they both chatted casually with "Qi Huangzi" for a few words.

They did not rush to pursue the mystery that concerned them most.

Looking at the five people in front of him, Meng Zhou was also thoughtful.

Qingye, Qingzhan, Qingfeng, Qingyao, Qingtang...

Like Yin Youyi and Mu Hanyu, before Qingxuanzong, they naturally had their own common names, and they were not as unified as they are now.

But since the birth of Qingxuanzong, they have abandoned their common names and standardized and unified their names.

Mr. Meng Zhou felt that this was not simply for the sake of "unification of standards."

With the five of them standing together, he had a clear feeling that the energy that the five of them freely exuded seemed to match perfectly.

If you close your eyes and judge only by your Qi, you will really mistake it for a person.

Meng Zhou thought of what he saw when he first came to Qingxuan Sect ten years ago and looked around under the leadership of Qingxuan Sect monks.
