Chapter 98

Talk under the moon.

This Little Su, full of nonsense, but not really annoying, instead makes people have a feeling of wanting to let him continue to make things up. Ruan Ci rolled her eyes at him and said, "Is this what you came to me for? Then I know, Senior Brother Su, take care."

As she said this, she was about to turn around, but Little Su hurriedly blocked her way and begged, "In a few days, the big tide will roll in. After leaving Hengze Heaven, it may be inconvenient to say goodbye to Junior Sister Ci. Is Junior Sister Ci really so cruel that she doesn't even want to listen to me for a few words?"

Ruan Ci was just putting on an act. Since Little Su said so, she took the opportunity to end it, walked out of the hall with Little Su, and jumped onto the roof—for Little Su, it was jumping onto the roof, but for her, everything here could not be touched, so it was just raising her already suspended body a little higher.

In Hengze Heaven, the climate changes are as rich as the outside world. Tonight, the weather is humid, and the cold moonlight sprinkles on the eaves. Water vapor condenses into night dew on the corners of clothes. The two sat side by side on the eaves for a while before Little Su said, "My name is Su Jingxing, the ninth disciple of the Yanshan Fa Xian Order Master."

He held the Mouth-Cleansing Mantra, but for people in the Demon Sect, showing people with his true name was already a very frank expression. Xuanmen disciples like Li Pingyan had only held the Mouth-Cleansing Mantra and were not as careful as the Demon Sect. Like Zhou Zhi Mo, he didn't say his true name until he died.

Ruan Ci said, "My name is Ruan Ci, under the Shangqing Zixu Cave Illumination Gate. You are indeed from Yanshan, but I have never heard that Yanshan has such a supernatural power to enter the painting."

Su Jingxing said, "That’s right. Yanshan cultivation techniques take the eighteen Heavenly Demon Orders as the axis. The most superior traditions are all named after Heavenly Demons. It is rumored that each of the eighteen Heavenly Demon Orders inherits a cultivation technique that can harmonize with the Dao. The fairy painting passing thoughts is a combination of the Demon Sect and painting cultivation. It is a tradition I obtained from elsewhere. With a thought, I accidentally attached it. It is not famous in the Central Continent, so it is natural that you have not heard of it."

Ruan Ci then cleared her doubts. After all, if Young Master Yue could distinguish that this was a Yanshan tradition, there was no reason not to remind Ruan Ci. She couldn't help but smile, "Creating your own cultivation technique while still in the Foundation Establishment stage, you are also a rare genius in the Demon Sect for thousands of years. After you go back, tell your master that the scroll can even capture and evolve the charm of the Dao Lord. Maybe you will become the master’s favorite disciple."

She said this entirely from her heart. Like Ruan Ci, she had never thought of creating her own cultivation technique. This was not something a Foundation Establishment disciple should do. The higher the Foundation Establishment layer, the more urgent it was to fill spiritual energy and refine the high platform. How could there be lifespan to do these things?

Naturally, if you create a small supernatural power at will, it is not worth paying much attention to. But when the two were on the fifth layer high platform, Ruan Ci injected her thoughts of Qing Jun into the scroll, and the scroll was actually able to capture a trace of the Dao Ancestor’s charm and transmit it to Su Jingxing, allowing him to resist the hallucinations that constantly eroded his mind. This shows that this supernatural power conforms to the Great Dao until the Dao Ancestor realm. A Foundation Establishment disciple can have such talent. Calling it rare for a thousand years is less, and unprecedented is just right.

Su Jingxing did not show pride, still looking kind and approachable. Hearing this, he smiled, "If it were another Dao Ancestor, I would have said it. The Donghua Sword Envoy saved my life, and Qing Jun’s charm helped me restore my Dao foundation and heal hidden dangers. My body is now covered with Donghua karma. In the future, I will have to be your wing to protect the Dao. If I tell all this to the master, wouldn't it force him to choose between the Demon Lord and me?"

He shook his head, looking like he was thinking for the Fa Xian Order Master, "This unfilial disciple has already made the master worry, how dare I let the master fall into such an embarrassing situation, in a dilemma?"

Ruan Ci couldn't help but chuckle, "If you are timid, just be timid, why say so much?"

Su Jingxing had already expressed his attitude. Several people experienced life and death together and formed an unbreakable bond, especially Ruan Ci and him. On the fifth layer high platform, they achieved each other. Su Jingxing suffered heavy injuries that damaged his Dao foundation to help her, and Ruan Ci, in a critical situation, gave the Dao Ancestor’s thoughts without hesitation, which happened to be Qing Jun’s thoughts containing vibrant vitality. Qing Jun mastered the Great Dao of Life. The fairy painting captured the divine thoughts, and even if it was just a trace of special spiritual energy evolved and simulated, it helped Little Su’s injuries recover a lot. Otherwise, he would have stayed on the fifth layer high platform for so long, and in the end, he would have died without a whole body like Senior Sister Mu.

If it is said that the two trust each other and help each other without reservation, it is obviously not the truth. But no matter what, the ending is like this. After all, they achieved each other. The two have deep entanglement of karma. Su Jingxing is telling Ruan Ci that he will naturally not expose Ruan Ci’s identity to the sect, and even has a hidden intention to defect.

Ruan Ci once promised Su Jingxing on the fifth layer high platform that if he didn't inform, she wouldn't take action against Su Jingxing first. Su Jingxing’s sincerity also satisfied her. After joking a few times, she asked some details, "The Demon Lord wants to catch me, but you secretly defected. Will it hinder your cultivation?"

This question is not aimless. Even without any oath constraints, if a cultivator acts against his will, it is likely to produce heart demons in future cultivation. So several people acted together in Hengze Heaven. In the future, if they are hostile, this friendship may be able to play a role in turning things around. If Yanshan is of one mind and respects the Demon Lord, Little Su secretly doing these small actions, he is afraid that he can't pass this hurdle in his heart.

Su Jingxing smiled, "The Demon Lord is the Demon Lord, the Fa Xian Order Master is the Fa Xian Order Master, and I am me. Within the Sheng Sect, there are often many factions. How can Yanshan be an exception? Besides, this is also the cleverness of us Sheng Sects. With many factions, we can ensure that someone bets on every side. If there is a great change, we can always find a way to preserve a tradition."

Ruan Ci had some feelings about the deep meaning of this before, so she was not surprised, just felt it was indeed so, and felt more at ease with Su Jingxing. Because she asked again, "People in the Demon Sect are best at sensing. You have been stained with Qing Jun’s aura. How do you plan to report to the sect after going back?"

Su Jingxing said, "The Demon Sect is best at sensing, and also best at shielding. I came to protect the Dao for Junior Brother Chen. Junior Brother Chen has already died in Huangshoushan. No one cares what I did in Hengze Heaven—"

The Junior Brother Chen he mentioned was Zhou Zhi Mo’s true surname. Ruan Ci interrupted and asked, "What is Junior Brother Chen’s name?"

Su Jingxing shook his head and said, "If you tell your true name to your fellow disciples at will, such a disciple will definitely not live long in Yanshan. I call him Little Chen. Little Chen is also a genius. His body cultivation is even better than his inner world. He is also eager to make contributions, wanting to remove the sword envoy’s wings to make contributions to the Demon Lord. I waited for the last boat at Yiyun Ferry, and because I was bored, I sold fairy paintings at the ferry, thinking that if he died on the way and Yanshan didn't get the Hengze Jade Dew, I would have a good time in Hengze Heaven."

"Unexpectedly, I encountered this change after entering the Heaven. The elders in the sect must be more concerned about the Eternal Dao City and even the Dao contention. I have already thought about how to report to the sect, and I have already agreed with Shen Qi and the others. It should not be difficult to cover it up."

His mind is indeed meticulous, and there are many methods of doubt between truth and illusion in his handling of affairs. But Ruan Ci is very clear about the power of high-level cultivators. Hearing this, she still couldn't clear all her doubts. Just as she was about to say something, Su Jingxing stopped her and smiled slightly. His aura changed abruptly, turning into an aura that Ruan Ci was vaguely familiar with. Ruan Ci was stunned, "Ah, this is the aura of the peddler—I forgot, you also have a treasure that changes aura."

Ruan Ci herself has the Heavenly Destiny Cloud Child, so how could she not know the preciousness of such magic treasures? You must know that everyone in the cultivation world uses aura as a sign of identification, precisely because it is easy to shield aura, but it is very difficult to change aura. Otherwise, with the ease of changing appearance in the cultivation world, there would inevitably be many more scams. Anyone who can change aura must have a deep background. As for Ruan Ci, when she talked to the peddler at Baoyun Ferry, it was another kind of aura, and after entering Hengze Heaven, it changed into another kind. Once she revealed her true face, Su Jingxing naturally knew that she had a strange treasure.

"This is a treasure obtained from the same place as the fairy painting. It can paint aura and even memories. Even if a Cave Heaven True Person reads it, they will be deeply convinced." Su Jingxing smiled, "I have already tested it on my master."

Ruan Ci was speechless for a while, only feeling that except for being lucky, she indeed had many places inferior to Su Jingxing. This Foundation Establishment disciple Su Jingxing didn't seem to be in awe of the Fa Xian Order Master. But in Ruan Ci’s heart, as she learned more about the secrets of Cave Heaven, she became more and more cautious about Wang True Person. It can be seen that she is not as good as Su Jingxing in dealing with people.

If it weren't for the changes in Hengze Heaven and Qin Fengyu not being by her side, she might not have been able to fight a strong opponent like Su Jingxing everywhere. Ruan Ci thought of this and couldn't help but feel unconvinced, but then she let go calmly. Little Su should have started cultivation hundreds of years earlier than her. It is natural for him to be more sophisticated than her now. She smiled, "Alright, then I am relieved. It’s just that I have one more question in my heart. That day when you sold paintings, there was only one boat from Yiyun Ferry to Baoyun Ferry. You came on the same boat as me, right? How did you avoid Junior Brother Fan’s poison eyes?"

Su Jingxing smiled, "People like us in the Demon Sect all collect treasures like poison-avoidance beads, otherwise we can't practice with peace of mind even in the sect. As far as I know, the surviving cultivators on that boat, except for you and the incarnations of those two high-level people, all have some Demon Sect background. However, in the few days at Baoyun Ferry, the flower-padded child pulled many companions to search for passengers and kill them. Only you and I successfully entered Hengze Heaven."

He has a sense of proportion. Ruan Ci and Qu Tan Yue are intimate, and Qu Tan Yue is an incarnation of a high-level person, but Su Jingxing doesn't ask about Qu Tan Yue’s origin at all. Ruan Ci was also stunned when she heard his words. She entered early, so she didn't know that only two people entered Hengze Heaven on that boat in the end. "That Junior Brother Fan..."

"He is also a busybody with many methods, so he told me that day that there is more than one person who wants to do a big thing in Hengze Heaven. I believe he is absolutely sincere. If it weren't for the changes in the city, I’m afraid he would have made a big noise." Su Jingxing seems to appreciate Junior Brother Fan very much, and said with a chuckle, "He is so proficient in the poison path, but he took action first at Baoyun Ferry, attracting everyone’s attention. I really don't know what he originally planned. This disciple from the Poison Sect has extraordinary courage and is also a strange number. But I don't know where he is hiding on the Poison Boat. Although I have guesses, I can't ask. When he comes to find you to say goodbye, you can ask him carefully."

He stood up and smiled, "This trip out, I lost a lot. Not only do I have to be more careful in the sect from now on, but my cultivation route was also seen by Shen Qi, and I don't know how many of my weaknesses he has grasped. But all this is worth it. We cultivators, in order to get a glimpse of the secrets of the higher realm, are all racking our brains and putting all our eggs in one basket. Sword Envoy, you have the supreme treasure, but you are naturally exempted from such searching. I am envious and jealous of you, and I don't know how many questions I want to ask you, but I know that even if you want to answer, you can't."

"Therefore, you must cherish this fate and move forward bravely."

His posture was graceful, looking so gentle under the moon, but the words he said were completely contrary to his gentle temperament. "If your cultivation can suppress me, I will be your most loyal helper. But if one day you slack off in cultivation and are suppressed by me..."

Little Su raised his hands and grabbed forward, as if threatening and smiling, "Then I will catch you, drill into your brain, and absorb all your insights of the higher realm."

Ruan Ci knew that he was also encouraging herself to practice hard, but she was still aroused to be competitive. Just as she was about to talk back and say that she could kill Su Jingxing while she could still suppress him, she remembered that she had said it first. If Su Jingxing didn't betray her, she wouldn't kill him. She couldn't help but feel discouraged, and suddenly realized that her casual promise had a big loophole. In this way, if Su Jingxing didn't betray the fact that she was a Sword Envoy to others, but only dealt with Ruan Ci himself, wouldn't he be able to try infinitely, and Ruan Ci would never be able to kill him?

Seeing her speechless and her expression changing, Su Jingxing smiled slightly, as if seeing through her thoughts, and said softly, "That’s right, you should think more carefully when you make promises in the future—we Demon Sect disciples are all experts in these things. When the time comes in the future, I will naturally teach you slowly."

After saying this, he jumped off the eaves, removed the sound-insulation array, and said to a corner in the courtyard, "I’m done, you come."

Ruan Ci only felt that there were still many things she hadn't finished saying to Su Jingxing. This Yanshan little rascal clearly didn't have as much background as her, but he had many ideas and was both an enemy and a friend. Getting along with him was a completely different feeling from all other acquaintances. Not to mention great powers like Wang True Person and Qu Tan Yue, Qin Fengyu and Li Pingyan were all intimate and trusting, and Junior Brother Fan admired and was close to her, feeling like a fellow traveler. But Little Su made her competitive, always wanting to make him truly admit defeat once, rather than being full of calculations and calmly yielding like fighting on a high building.

For example, at this time, she wanted to talk back, and the words were on her lips—why does Little Su need to teach her? She has old acquaintances whose cultivation is much deeper than Little Su’s, and they point her out without reservation. But for some reason, she felt that using cultivation to suppress people was vulgar. After a moment of hesitation, Little Su didn't give her a chance to refuse and left on his own.

Ruan Ci wanted to call him back, but heard the tide getting stronger. Sensing it slightly, she also knew that the giant wave that rolled everyone away and sucked them back didn't know when it would erupt. This time, which could avoid the sensing of Cave Heaven True Persons and even Cave Yang Dao Ancestor and talk freely, was indeed limited. She had to sit still. The next moment, a yellow shadow swept onto the eaves. She was slightly surprised, "Why is it you? —Why are you dressed like this again?"

Shen Qi, who had transformed back into a woman, said coldly, "Why, it’s not me, who are you waiting for?"

Sorry for the wait, everyone. I’m going out for lunch at noon, scheduled update.

Are all Demon Sect people big bad guys? Even when they are dying, they still want to pit Little Ci~

Anyway, my friend is waiting for me, so I’ll go first!
