Chapter 11: Nearly Exposed

"Know... It is nothing more than death. Xuan gritted his teeth and raised his head and said.

"Hahaha! Interesting!" the middle-aged man laughed inexplicably.

At the same time, the momentum that pressed on Li Qianqian and Xuan also disappeared without a trace.

However, they did not get up because of this.

"Are the seniors moody?" asked Li Qianqian quietly with Xuan in her tugging.

"Hell knows. Xuan said in a low voice.

"Come, prove yourself!" The middle-aged man didn't care about the whispers of Li Qianqian and the others, he waved his hand and took out a transparent helmet made of unknown things out of thin air, and as he spoke, he controlled the helmet and flew in front of Xuan.

"Senpai won't be disappointed!" Xuan said after taking the helmet and putting it on his head.

Then he closed his eyes.

After about ten breaths, the overall color of the helmet changed to a dazzling green.

The courtyard, which had been darkened by nightfall, was lit up as if it were day.

At this time, Xuan opened his eyes.

His eyes were no longer pitch-black pupils, they quickly transformed into a brilliant green like the color of a helmet the moment he opened his eyes.

"Uh... A hat of such a color..."Li Qianqian squinted at Xuan and muttered.

"You are the young Xuanwu of the Xuanwu clan in the southwest corner of the Divine Shadow Forest Sea, right?" the middle-aged man said as he opened his eyes and looked at Xuan fearlessly.

ā€œ... That's right. Xuan said after a moment of silence.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you. The middle-aged man said as he looked up at the starry sky, as if remembering something.

"Thank you, senior!" Xuan said after taking off his helmet.

The green glow disappeared the moment the helmet left the scalp.

His pupils also returned to pitch black.

"Give her a try. The middle-aged man proposed.

"Senior, she is a mortal and has no spiritual roots. Xuan replied.

"Joke!" said the middle-aged man's expression changed.

At the same time, Xuan also got up and stood in front of Li Qianqian.

Suddenly, he collapsed to the ground bleeding from his mouth, nose and ears.

And Li Qianqian, who was behind her, only felt a slight vibration of her eardrums.

"Is it stupid to be an old man, can a mortal have such pure spiritual power in his body?" the middle-aged man said again.

"I... I really don't have a spiritual root..."Li Qianqian, who was supporting Xuan, said weakly as she stepped back.

At the moment when the middle-aged man injured Xuan, she sensed a powerful force in his body, and this power was the difference between sand and the universe compared to the previous heavenly fairy woman.

"To be honest, the old man will keep it a secret for you. The middle-aged man said indifferently.

"I... I really don't..."Li Qianqian still said stubbornly.

Although she is a little stupid, she is not stupid, and she knows what the consequences of revealing secrets will be.

In a moment of crisis, the flower pattern on the back of her hand suddenly floated with her hand.

At the same time, a ball of light full of hostility towards the middle-aged man also flew out of it.

Immediately afterwards, all the spiritual power in Li Qianqian's body converged into the glass star.

"Could it be a twin? It's a pity! It's a pity! It's a pity that you're a mortal!" said the middle-aged man with an excited expression.

Xuan didn't let him be so excited just now, obviously the so-called 'twin souls' were even rarer than the Innocent and Flawless Spirit Root.

It's just that Li Qianqian didn't know anything about all this, and she stayed in place with a puzzled face.

"Admit it. Qi Mingyi's hoarse voice exploded in Li Qianqian's mind.

Judging from the fact that she cherished words like gold, that time she blocked the attack of the god statue for Li Qianqian, which made her state even worse.

"You... You can promise me! Keep it a secret!" Li Qianqian hurriedly pointed to the middle-aged man and said.

"That's nature, the old man has a promise, how can he be a person who breaks his promise?" said the middle-aged man as he returned to normal.

At the same time, the ball of light flew back into the stamen of the flower pattern.

The spiritual power that converged into the glass star also returned to Li Qianqian's body again.

"Feed him. The middle-aged man threw out a pill and said again.

"Isn't this poison?" asked Li Qianqian, nervously and weakly.

The middle-aged man didn't speak when he heard this, but just glared at Li Qianqian.

"Got it... Got it..."Li Qianqian muttered.

With that, she fed the pill into Xuan's mouth.

Immediately, Xuan, who was still a little conscious, passed out directly.

"Hey, what's going on! You lie to me and blame the old man!" Li Qianqian shouted without words.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man didn't pay attention to her, and just picked up the helmet that Xuan threw aside.

Next, when Li Qianqian wanted to scold two more words, Xuan suddenly coughed violently.

After a while, he stood up vigorously.

"Before... Predecessor... I'm sorry..."Li Qianqian apologized with a very low head.

"I'm not a senior, I'm a weird old man. The middle-aged man said with his eyes closed.

"Strange old man, I'm sorry!" Li Qianqian was also angry, she pinched her waist and shouted.

In this regard, for the first time, the middle-aged man had an action other than holding something, and he helplessly held his forehead.

"Senior, when will the worship ceremony begin?" asked Xuan bowed.

"The old man sees that you are just a fourfold realm of spirit refining, you can make an exception to avoid the worship ceremony, abolish the current cultivation, and worship the old man as a teacher as an ordinary disciple. The middle-aged man replied.

"Senior, I can worship you as a teacher, but I must participate in the worship ceremony. Xuan stubbornly said.

"Why is that? Don't you even have the perseverance?" asked the middle-aged man.

"Of course not... It's that Lu Ke and I have a bitter enmity! I must kill him with my own hands!"

"Hahaha! This is simple, although we don't plan to kill that person, but it doesn't have much use, so it's okay for you to dispose of it. The middle-aged man laughed.

"Master Xie is complete!" Xuan said loudly on one knee.

This time, he was willing.

Seeing this, Li Qianqian also hurriedly knelt down.

"Hmm. After the middle-aged man agreed, he raised his hand and waved out a beam of light that entered the Xuan's dantian space.

In an instant, Xuan's cultivation dissipated.

"Don't practice before you get your identity token, remember! Also, you also want to worship the old man as a teacher?" the middle-aged man said.

"I... I—" Li Qianqian muttered and stood up in embarrassment.

Her mind was full of what Xuan had said earlier, that some monks would lie to mortals to be coolies.

After all, in the eyes of middle-aged people, she is an out-and-out mortal.

"The old man has no interest in deceiving mortals to be coolies. The middle-aged man looked at Xuan and said.

Obviously, the whispering of the two before did not escape the ears of the middle-aged man.

The two of them, who instantly understood the potential meaning of these words, both had different amounts of cold sweat on their foreheads.

Who let them speak ill of others behind their backs?
