Chapter 382

Xu Jie looked at Li Dazui with unfriendly eyes, a cold glint flashing in his gaze.

"Speak up, who's being vile and shameless, utterly despicable—could it be you, Junior Brother, saying this about me?"

"No...... not really, how could that be? I hold the Third Senior Brother in the highest respect."

"Is that so? But just now, listening to you, it didn't sound like that."

"Senior Brother, you must have misheard."

Li Dazui was so frightened his hairs stood on end—why would the Third Senior Brother appear here? No way, just now that demon-binding pouch?

"Third Senior Brother, it couldn't have been you just now......"

He looked suspiciously at Xu Jie and asked; Xu Jie, for his part, didn't hide anything and openly admitted.

"Not bad, it was me. You still have the nerve to bring this up—if I hadn't arrived in time, wouldn't you have spilled the beans?"

You damn well still have the face to say this—upon hearing that, Li Dazui shook his head repeatedly, speaking firmly.

"How could that be? Who doesn't know that I, Li Dazui, am famous for keeping my mouth shut?"

Ha.............

Upon hearing that, Xu Jie's mouth twitched, he gave a cold snort, too lazy to bother with him.

"If you, Li Dazui, can be considered tight-lipped, then we'd all be mute."

You have to know, just now it was extremely dangerous—just a breath away, a single breath, and this guy would have spilled it.

If so many people heard it, there's no guarantee the news wouldn't reach Shīzūn's ears.

Once Shīzūn finds out and they run away, what are we to do?

"Third Senior Brother, believe me—I, Li Dazui, really won't talk nonsense; this is definitely slander, absolutely someone badmouthing me behind my back."

"Alright, do you still need people to slander you? For now, don't run around—follow us, and you're not allowed to go anywhere."

They also didn't punish Li Dazui, after all he's the type who can't keep a secret—once he knows something, not saying it makes him feel awful.

All we can do is keep him close under strict supervision.

Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, Xu Jie, Lu Youyou, and Wang Yao—five people took turns guarding Li Dazui.

Even so, several times he almost let it slip—this guy really has no filter.

Whenever he sees someone, he goes over for a casual chat, then puts on a mysterious look and says.

"Junior Brother, do you know why we're going to San Sheng Shi this time?"

"I do."

"You know?"

"Li Dazui."

"Senior Brother."

"Elder, do you know why we're going to San Sheng Shi this time?"

"I do."

"You know?"

"Li Dazui."

"Second Senior Sister."

"Senior Brother, do you know why we're going to San Sheng Shi this time?"

"I don't know, what's up?"

"Senior Brother, you don't know?"

Finally meeting someone who doesn't know, Li Dazui's eyes lit up with delight, then he put on an inscrutable look and said.

"Ah, there are many ways to say it."

"Oh, Junior Brother, do you happen to know some inside information?"

"Senior Brother, don't rush—let Junior Brother explain slowly."

"Hurry up and say it."

"This has to start from back when Senior Brother Chen Mu......"

Just as he was saying that, Xu Jie kicked off from behind, sending Li Dazui flying, his mouth twitching and his eyelids jumping.

"Damn it, not speaking won't kill you."

You can't even keep an eye on him, and when you talk, you talk—why must you spill these secrets?

The more he's told not to say it, the more excited Li Dazui gets to talk—if it weren't for the camaraderie among fellow disciples, I'd have run you through with a sword long ago.

Do you realize that acting like this makes you a spy, blurting out everything?

Only after great effort by Xu Jie and the five of them did they finally reach San Sheng Shi safe and sound.

At this time, Wang Tieshu had also made contact with Chen Mu, saying he'd been waiting at San Sheng Shi all along.

San Sheng Shi, put simply, is a stone like jade.

It's said to reflect one's past and present lives, but that's nonsense—it's basically just a mirror that can show a person's appearance.

Whether it's useful or not aside, many Dao couples from Dongzhou like to come here.

It seems that if you haven't been to San Sheng Shi even once, you're not considered a true Dao couple.

As the hottest spot in Dongzhou, the Bell-Emotion Mountain where San Sheng Shi stands has always been bustling with people.

Nearby there's no danger, nor any demonic beasts or evil spirits.

Come on, Bell-Emotion Mountain is crawling with cultivators—show up and you're just delivering vegetables; if you get cut down, becoming a witness to love, that's just unreasonable.

On Bell-Emotion Mountain, you don't have to worry about safety issues.

The group landed outside Bell-Emotion Mountain; some disciples uninterested in San Sheng Shi stayed behind to look after the Shòuchǒng.

As for the others, they were free to do as they pleased.

Ye Zhangqing and his party slowly ascended Affection Mountain; whether to speak or not, the scenery of Affection Mountain is truly not bad.

Compared to Dao Yi Sect, it's even more beautiful, or rather, the style is different.

Dao Yi Sect possesses a transcendent, worldly-detached beauty, whereas Affection Mountain gives people a feeling of deep, enduring affection.

Flowers and grass, trees and wood, you can't say why, but you just have this feeling.

Every tree, every flower seems to grow in pairs; on Affection Mountain, there is no such thing as being alone.

Along the way, Bai Hua Xianzi also took the initiative to introduce it to Ye Zhangqing.

"Little Qingzi, you don't know, the strangest thing about Affection Mountain is that all living things are born as twins, and they stay that way for life."

"If one of them dies, the other will also quickly perish; they never survive alone."

"That's truly miraculous."

"So, even flowers, grass, and trees are like this; we humans should be even more so."

"Eh............"

"Qingbao, do you have someone you like?"

At first it was quite normal, but as we talked it turned weird; moreover, you damn well just talk, why are you holding my hand?

Even more outrageous, Ye Zhangqing couldn't break free, and could only let Bai Hua Xianzi hold his hand.

It wasn't until the two words 'Qingbao' were spoken that Ye Zhangqing completely lost his composure.

"That... Flower Auntie, we are apart in generation."

"It's fine; when the time comes I'll tell your mother, a close female friend and a daughter-in-law are actually pretty much the same."

"Damn, can that really be considered the same? You've said it all like this; you're really pretending not to understand, aren't you?"

Seeing Bai Hua Xianzi and Ye Zhangqing's intimate appearance, the three women behind—Liu Shuang, Lu Youyou, and Wang Yao—were gritting their teeth in anger.

But there's nothing they can do; they can't compete.

Just as Ye Zhangqing was made to blush and redden by Bai Hua Xianzi, Hong Zun, Qing Shi, and the others walking in the lead had already reached the summit of Affection Mountain and from afar saw a huge stone like jade; that was the San Sheng Shi.

It's just a bit strange; usually it's crowded with people, so why is there only one person today?

Seeing only one person standing beneath the San Sheng Shi, Hong Zun's brows furrowed slightly, his old eyes fixed firmly on that somewhat familiar back.

His tall, sturdy build was in no way inferior to that of the Capture Dragon junior brother who had opened the Nine Vaults Secret Art.

Moreover, those two thick braids were like iron whips.

Finally, that set of patterned martial attire wrapped his robust physique, exuding a rich masculine vigor.

His brows furrowed ever tighter.

"This person............"

"What's wrong?"

"Something's off, I feel she's a bit like................"
