Time passed day by day, and finally waited for the day of convergence with the righteous path, Zhan Chen's heart was extremely happy and extremely conflicted, happy that he could finally go home;

However, for the sake of the mission, for the sake of the past vows, for the sake of those who sacrificed, and for the sake of his own faith, he had to go!

Early that morning, he was ready to go out. Suddenly, a maidservant came and said to him, "Senior Brother Zhan, the Holy Maiden wants you to go over immediately." ”

Zhan Chen had to suppress the restlessness in his heart and asked, "What is the matter with the Holy Maiden?"

"You'll know as soon as you go over. ”

Full of suspicion, Zhan Chen had to follow her to see Yin Meiru first, and the two walked to the main hall and found that Yin Meiru was sitting on a high seat, and there was one more person next to her, an acquaintance, with a burly body, a gray beard, and a pair of sharp and indifferent eyes.

Zhan Chen immediately remembered that he was-Qu Lao! At the beginning, he was the same as he escorted Yin Meiru back to the Demon Luo Sect, but today he wanted to meet him again.

Qu Lao looked at Zhan Chen, a glint flashed in his eyes, which suddenly made the latter feel like he had been completely seen through, and Zhan Chen's heart inexplicably began to beat faster.

At this time, Yin Meiru saw that Zhan Chen had arrived, so she happily got up from her seat, greeted him, took his hand, and said, "Ah Chen, you are finally here." ”

Zhan Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Mei'er, you and I meet every day, do you still need to be like this?"

Yin Meiru buried her head in his chest and said affectionately: "Ah Chen, you don't understand, you are like my air, and if I leave you for a while, I will feel suffocated." ”

Zhan Chen's body couldn't help but stiffen, the smile on his face froze, and he had to gently pat her back to show comfort.

Yin Meiru raised her head and said happily: "By the way, Ah Chen, you don't have to worry about someone harming you in the future!"

"What do you mean by worrying that someone will harm me?" Zhan Chen asked confusedly.

"Ah Chen, my father sent Elder Qu here to protect your safety. You don't know, I've already begged my father, he agreed to our marriage, and will announce the news soon, so you are now the master of the Demon Luo Sect, and ensuring your safety will naturally come first. ”

"Elder Qu is here to protect me?" Zhan Chen muttered as he looked at Elder Qu on the side.

"That's right, the old man is on the orders of the sect master to protect your safety!" Elder Qu stepped forward and gave him a symbolic salute, but from his disdainful eyes, he didn't seem to find the slightest respect for Zhan Chen.

At this time, Yin Meiru said again: "Ah Chen, you always believe it this time, don't look at Qu Lao like this." He has the cultivation of the first level of martial saint, and he has always been loyal to my father, and he is willing to be behind the scenes, not wanting to get involved in the power of the sect. I grew up watching him since I was a child, and now I am relieved to hand you over to him to protect. ”

Elder Qu said again: "Don't worry, Holy Maiden, I will definitely protect Zhan Chen and never leave an inch." ”

"Elder Qu, how did you speak, Ah Chen is my husband, and he will be the young master of the Moluo Sect in the future, you should be loyal to him!"

"Holy Maiden, but he is not yet, so I will only act at the orders of the Sect Master and you. ”

Yin Meiru turned her head and comforted Zhan Chen again: "Ah Chen, don't be like him, Qu Lao's temper is not good, but his strength is beyond doubt, with him, I can rest assured!"

Zhan Chen had to laugh, but this smile was like crying, and he said in his heart: "It's troublesome now! With this Qu Lao following, how do you want me to get in touch with the righteous path?"

He said a few more words to Yin Meiru, and then turned to leave, but the old man Qu also followed. Zhan Chen suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and tried to ask: "Elder Qu, you have a profound cultivation and high morality, how can I, Zhan Chen, dare to ask you to protect you?"

Qu Lao said expressionlessly: "Don't dare! I, Qu Zhong, am just an old slave, I only know how to follow the orders of the sect master and the Holy Maiden, and they asked me to protect you, so I have to be meticulous." ”

Zhan Chen smiled stiffly again, turned around, and the two of them went down the mountain one after the other, all the way towards Moluo City. After entering the city, Zhan Chen wandered aimlessly, looking idle. After half a day, he didn't see a trace of resentment on Qu Zhong's face.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, and Zhan Chen's heart became more and more irritable, he turned his head again and said to Qu Zhong again: "Old Qu, it's getting late, you can go back first, I still have to walk around this market for a while." ”

Qu Zhong didn't answer him, just followed him, like a wooden puppet. Zhan Chen was helpless, so he had to turn his head and continue to walk forward, and before he knew it, he arrived at the door of Qingfeng Silk Cloth Village again, and couldn't help but stop, looked inside, and turned his head to continue to move forward.

Yes, this silk cloth village is the only stronghold of the righteous path gate in Mora City that he knows, and it is also his own hope, and it cannot be exposed.

After walking for a while, Zhan Chen stood up, looked up to the sky and sighed, turned his head to Qu Zhong and said, "Old Qu, it's getting late, let's go back." ”

......

In the following days, there was an old man by Zhan Chen's side, Qu Zhong really did what he said, and followed him as always, no matter where Zhan Chen went, even the last toilet, which made Zhan Chen annoyed, but there was nothing he could do, he was like a tiger with his hands and feet tied, even if he had a thousand might, he couldn't show it.

And then the Demon Luo Sect can be said to have made waves again, Yin Xuehai actually announced in a high-profile manner that Zhan Chen would become his successor, and would marry Yin Meiru after receiving the Demon Yuan empowerment ceremony.

How many people talked about this, and how many elite disciples were jealous, and for a while, Hatred Heaven, Shi Bee Sting, Hu Fengfang, Fang Baxing, and so on all challenged Zhan Chen. However, these fights were unexpectedly stopped by Yin Xuehai, and his protection of Zhan Chen was clearly revealed. Everyone saw the way, so it wasn't long before the challengers died down.

However, Zhan Chen was also completely trapped on the Holy Maiden Peak, and he was frowning all day long, he had been thinking about how to get rid of Kai Quzhong's surveillance of him, but after some rational analysis, he finally came to the conclusion that no matter what kind of conspiracy and trickery, it was useless before this powerhouse with the first rank of the Martial Saint.

On this day, Zhan Chen tried to cultivate in the cultivation room again, but halfway through, his breath was stagnant because he was upset, so he had to withdraw from the cultivation state, and thought silently: "It's not a way to go on like this, seeing that time is passing day by day, I am bothered here all day long, and I don't even have the heart to cultivate." ”

After a while, he thought again, "However, the only thing that can reassure me is that the so-called Demon Yuan empowerment ceremony will be a year and a half away. In the meantime, I can think of another way. According to Yin Xuehai, after the ceremony, I will marry Meiru. ”

At this time, he suddenly had an idea, and couldn't help but exclaim: "That's right! Why didn't I think of it before? Maybe I can use this marriage to make an article!"
