Late at night on September 30, there are still a few hours to prepare for the three marriages that have been prepared for a long time to officially begin, and Xihuang Mountain, which has been busy for a whole month, has also ushered in a short period of calm at this moment.

Lu Yifan, who practiced in retreat, went out of the customs this afternoon, and after Lu Yifan came out of the customs, he was not busy summoning Liu Sandao and Ji Yuan and others who came from afar, but under the service of Ah Chang, he simply ate some things and went back to the room to rest, during the retreat, he has been concentrating on the operation of Zhou Tian's soul power, comprehending the power of faith from the five domains and turning it into his own use, so he spent a huge amount of spirit, and when he came out of the customs, he was not only full of energy, but he was tired, and even the strength to walk was almost gone.

Before resting, Lu Yifan instructed Ah Chang to inform Liu Sandao and the others, and asked them to talk to the sect master's mansion after dinner. But the sky was not dark, but Liu Sandao and the others had already gathered outside Lu Yifan's room in the sect master's mansion early, patiently waiting for Lu Yifan to wake up, this was nearly three hours, and the people who were summoned tonight were all Lu Yifan's henchmen, and all of them were people in the Soul Sect, obviously Lu Yifan wanted to talk to them tonight to say something that was not humane.

"Squeak!"

On a quiet moonlit night, the autumn breeze was gentle, which made Xihuang Mountain cover with a hint of warmth and coolness in advance. With a slight sound, Lu Yifan's door was slowly opened by a thin crack, and then I saw Ah Chang tiptoeing out of the dim room, Yulou and Liu Sandao and others hurriedly stepped forward when they saw this, and without waiting for everyone to ask, Ah Chang made a silent gesture first, and then hurriedly waved his hand into the distance, signaling everyone to step back and speak again.

"Ah Chang, is the sect master awake?" Ji Yuan tried to keep his voice down and asked in a low voice.

Ah Chang slowly shook his head with a bitter face, and said, "Brother Yifan may be too tired from the retreat, and he is still asleep, do you want me to wake him up?"

"Never!" Yulou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Since the sect master is still asleep, then let's just wait here for a while, there is still a lot of time in the long night, so there is no need to worry." Yulou's words made Liu Sandao and the others nod one after another.

"Guys, you ...... Have you noticed that the sect master seems to be a little strange in the past year?" After a moment of silence, Lan Chen suddenly spoke. His words made everyone stunned, and Yulou asked with doubts in his eyes, "What does the Dragon King know?"

Lan Chen shook his head solemnly, and said, "Although I don't know the reason, I have heard the sect master say such a sentence himself, it was when he was half drunk and half awake, he muttered to himself, 'In the future, the Soul Sect will have you, and I will be able to rest assured!' What did the sect master mean by this?"

"This shows that the sect master is a heavy dragon king!" Liu Meng laughed.

"That's not right!" Lan Chen didn't rejoice at Liu Meng's compliment, he still frowned and shook his head, "Sect Master's words don't sound like a casual joke to me, but more like a ...... It's ......" Lan Chen opened his mouth several times, but he wanted to say it and stopped, obviously the latter words made him extremely difficult to speak.

"It's more like explaining the aftermath!" Yu Lou continued with Lan Chen's words, and as soon as he said this, everyone's faces changed suddenly.

The smile on Liu Sandao's face was gone, and Shen Shengfan asked, "What do you mean by explaining the aftermath, why does the sect master want to explain the aftermath?"

"Actually, I was aware of what Lan Chen said before, but I didn't dare to be sure, the sect master must have something in his heart that he didn't want us to know. Yulou Zhengse said, "If my expectations are correct, the sect master's ten hardships are all related to the Jinghai God Clan." ”

Ji Yuan nodded and said, "I have already sensed that something is wrong since the sect master competed to be the master of the five domains, and now when I hear you say this, I have an extremely bold speculation!"

"Say it quickly!" Xie Yun urged urgently.

Ji Yuan sorted out his thoughts a little and said, "I suspect that the reason why the sect master wants to be the master of the five domains is to transfer us people away from him one by one, and then when the Jinghai God Clan's revenge comes, the sect master will be able to face all kinds of difficulties and dangers alone, so as not to affect us!"

Zheng Xiaowu nodded thoughtfully and said: "It makes sense, the sect master has always valued love and righteousness, and the Jinghai God Clan will inevitably kill innocents indiscriminately if he seeks revenge, and the sect master doesn't want us to be innocent to death, so he transferred all of us away from Xihuang Mountain." Thinking about it this way, the sect master had already decided this matter with the intention of dying with the Jinghai God Clan, or even dying alone, so the strange words he said would naturally be able to figure it out. The more Zheng Xiaowu spoke, the more frightened he became, and in the end, like everyone else, his eyes were full of indescribable heaviness.

Ji Yuan nodded again and again: "This is also the real reason why the sect master doesn't want to find out everything to us, because he knows that once he says this plan, then we people will inevitably choose to live and die with him and fight against the great enemy together." ”

"Oh, I'm really the biggest fool in the world!" Liu Sandao slammed his head with a fist full of remorse, and said with shame in his eyes, "I'm still wondering why the sect master is in a hurry to promote the marriage of our people, it turns out that he has already estimated that his time is running out, and we people are still living our own free lives in a daze." ”

Yulou said: "The sect master wants to use him alone to fulfill all of us!"

"Then I'm not going to Immortal Realm. Xie Yun resolutely spoke, "The sect master is deeply affectionate, how can I, Xie Yun, be the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? After this incident, I will continue to stay in Xihuang Mountain and advance and retreat with the sect master!"

"That's what I mean!" Ji Yuan echoed, "Why don't we all leave, we still have weal and woe in Xihuang Mountain like before, how about we?"

"Okay!" Everyone catered to Ji Yuan's proposal, and Liu Sandao said with a straight face: "When the sect master wakes up later, we will tell him about this decision together, even if it is disobedience this time, we will not leave again!"

"Even if you die, you won't leave!" Yin Xi listened with boiling blood and laughed loudly.

"Shh

Yin Xi's loud voice made everyone's faces change suddenly, and they glared at him angrily, so frightened that Yin Xi hurriedly covered his mouth tightly with both hands, for fear that another one would accidentally make some movement to disturb Lu Yifan's clear dream.

"Ah Chang, what time is it?"

Suddenly, Lu Yifan's sleepy voice slowly came out of the room, and the whispers in the courtyard suddenly disappeared, and the entire Sect Master's Mansion instantly became silent.

"It's almost time...... Ah Chang hurriedly replied, then she glanced at Yulou and Liu Sandao and the others, and under the anxious gestures of everyone, she spoke again, "It's not too late, Brother Yifan, you can sleep a little longer!" Ah Chang's words made Yulou, Liu Sandao and the others nod their heads.

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Lu Yifan said with self-reproach, "You've been waiting outside for a long time, right?

Lu Yifan's words made Yulou and the others laugh, Liu Sandao was the first to raise his feet and walk towards the door, and said with a smile as he walked: "Actually, we have just arrived for a while, it is really better to come early than to come, haha......"

As he spoke, a few bright lights slowly lit up in the dim room, and Liu Sandao and the others also entered in an orderly manner. In the room, Lu Yifan, who was dressed in a nightgown, was sitting at the table pouring tea alone in a dark golden coat, and it was not difficult to guess through his slightly tired sleepy eyes that he must have slept very soundly just now.

"Sit down!" Lu Yifan rinsed his mouth with tea and casually pointed to the chairs and stools on the side of the table, the few who came tonight were not outsiders, so naturally they would not do more meaningless greetings, and they all sat down. Lu Yifan looked at the few people in the room one by one with a smile, from the five kings of the Soul Sect to Yulou, Liu Meng, Yin Xi, Wu Mei, Ah Chang, Ji Yi'er, Su Yingying, Yan Lingxuan, except for Liu Zitang and Xiao Fluttershy, who stayed to take care of her, and Lu Sijun, who had nothing to do, almost all of Lu Yifan's closest people were present. Of course, this does not include Han Ling'er who is on Donghua Island and Han Xiao, who stays on the island to accompany Han Ling'er and plans to spend the rest of his life chatting.

Looking at these familiar faces in front of him, Lu Yifan couldn't help but smile slightly, and said with emotion: "In the past, we were a group of down-and-out wanderers, but now we have become famous people in the Five Domains. I still remember that when I was young, my father often told me not to ask me to become a person above ten thousand people, but to beg me not to disgrace the hard-won prestige and status of the Lu family. Now that I think about it, I don't insult the reputation of the Lu family, and you are the same, you have not insulted your respective clans, on the contrary, you still glorify your ancestors and make your family proud of you!"

Listening to Lu Yifan's words, Yulou and the others were silent, just looking at Lu Yifan quietly, as if they were listening to Lu Yifan's teachings.

"Tonight, we don't have any sect masters and elders, and we don't talk about so many rules of respect and inferiority for the elders and young, I just want to be brothers and confidants with you as before. Say something that should be said between brothers and confidants, and what can be said in the heart. Lu Yifan seemed to see everyone's restraint, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "As the so-called high place is unbearable, now that I am the master of the Five Domains, I am much more estranged from you, this is not what I Lu Yifan wants." ”

"Sect Master......" Ji Yuan hurriedly swallowed back as soon as his words came out, and hurriedly changed his words, "Yifan, we will always be your brother's confidantes, whether you are the son of Duke Wen Ding, or the master of the mortal sect of the Holy Soul Academy, whether it is the sect master, the sect master, the middle emperor, or the lord of the five domains, the relationship between us and you will never change in the slightest because of the change of identity." Back then, we were able to live and die with you, not because we were all cheap at that time, but because we were willing to die for you. Today, our former lowly lives have become the soul masters in charge of the party, even if Yin Xi and Liu Meng go out now, they will all be respectfully called 'Xi Ye, Meng Ye'. It is true that each of us is now powerful, with status and status, but this does not mean that we have begun to covet wealth and glory, and covet all the pleasures that power brings. To this day, we are still not afraid of life and death, if we meet an opponent and fight, I, Ji Yuan, will also be the first to rush out to block the knife for you, and I will never blink an eye!"

Lu Yifan looked at Ji Yuan in surprise, and said with a smile: "I just want you to talk about the past, Ji Yuan, you don't have to say it so seriously, what kind of life and death, we finally survived those days of fighting and killing, can't we enjoy Qingfu in peace and stability now?"

"Yifan, you don't have to hide it from us anymore, we already know!" Xie Yun said solemnly with his eyes, "And we have also decided that we will not leave Xihuang Mountain after the first day of October, we will live and die with you!"

"You all know it?" Lu Yifan was confused when he heard it, and couldn't help asking: "What do you know?"

Liu Sandao replied with a righteous expression, "We know that you transferred all of us to face the revenge of the Jinghai Divine Clan alone. We know that the strength of the Jinghai Divine Clan is far beyond our imagination, and it is very likely that our people are tied together and are less than one-tenth of those Divine Clans, so we are not afraid! Even if we can't beat them, Lao Tzu can bite off a piece of his flesh before he dies, let them know that the Soul Sect is not easy to bully, and the Soul Sect Sect Master is not something they can kill if they say they can kill it!"

Hearing Liu Sandao's words, and seeing the solemn expressions of Ji Yuan and the others, Lu Yifan couldn't help but feel a deep emotion in his heart. But on the surface, he still pretended to be casual, and laughed, "Who told you that I was going to face the revenge of the Jinghai Divine Clan alone? Who told you that I let you take charge of the various domains on purpose to transfer you out of Xihuang Mountain?"

Lu Yifan's reaction made everyone stunned, and Zheng Xiaowu asked in surprise, "Isn't that the case?"

"Of course not!" Lu Yifan said with a smile, "If I want to face the Jinghai Divine Clan alone, then why should I be the Lord of the Five Domains? I want to divert you from thousands of excuses, so why do you have to go to great lengths to intrigue with Yin Qianqiu and Jun Wujie? I am the Lord of the Five Domains in order to gather all the forces of the Five Domains to resist the Jinghai Divine Clan, because only then can I, Lu Yifan, have the hope of turning defeat into victory." I asked you to be in charge of the Five Domains not to transfer you away, but to prevent someone in the Five Domains from deliberately destroying when the Jinghai Divine Clan attacked, and to prevent us from fighting with the Jinghai Divine Clan at that time, and the Five Domains would be the first to fight, but I can't trust outsiders, and only a few of you are my most convinced siblings of Lu Yifan, who will I let me use if I don't need you?"

"Yifan, do you really think so?" Xie Yun asked suspiciously, "Do you really plan to let us accompany you against the Jinghai God Clan?"

"Of course!" Lu Yifan nodded and smiled, "This matter is at stake, how can I laugh?"

"Then ......," Yulou hesitated for a moment before he said slowly, "Then we can install other cronies to go to the four domains of spirits, beasts, immortals, and demons, and all of us will stay in Xihuang Mountain to meet the great enemy with you, how about it?"

"If you can find a trusted henchman, it's okay to stay. Lu Yifan's tone was as flat as water, as if he didn't hear that Yulou was testing him just now, "I came to you tonight, in fact, I also want to tell you about my future plans, gather the power of the Five Domains to fight against the Jinghai God Clan, whether it is success or failure, there will be a day when you will understand your grievances." What I want to say is that no matter what the outcome is, once the grudge between me and the Jinghai Divine Clan is settled, the Lord of the Five Domains will cease to exist, and the matter of unifying the Five Domains will also be gone. When the time comes, whether I am dead or alive, you must return the civil and military power of each domain to the emperors and sect masters of each domain, and you must no longer covet power!"

As soon as Lu Yifan's words came out, a long-lost sense of familiarity suddenly emerged in everyone's hearts, this is the Lu Yifan they know. And now the Lord of the Five Domains, who is ambitious, power-hungry, and unscrupulous to achieve his goals, is an illusion deliberately created by Lu Yifan from beginning to end.

"Yifan, in fact, we want to be able to return to Xihuang Mountain as soon as possible, if it weren't for you sitting behind the scenes, everyone would not dare to make a mistake, let alone the two domains of immortals and demons, even if it is the strong man of the beast domain and the spirit domain, I am afraid that we will not obey these people, you support the entire five domains with the strength of one person, and we can't help you because of insufficient cultivation and lack of strength, this kind of taste is really uncomfortable, it is better for everyone to live a happy life as before, which is better than being the master of ten five domains. Xie Yun laughed, and as he spoke, he glanced sideways at the thoughtful Su Yingying, and said with a smile, "It's better than me and Yingying being separated all day long and suffering from lovesickness!"

"Haha...... I think the fundamental reason why you don't want to go back to the Immortal Realm is actually to stay with Miss Yingying, right?" Ji Yuan smiled, his words made Su Yingying's cheeks blush, but he didn't answer.

"Tomorrow is your wedding day, and the three couples are married, which is really a great conversation. Lu Yifan said, "In the future, you will no longer be alone, Yulou, Ji Yuan, Lan Chen, you are about to become husbands, I believe that you will become a father soon, you must no longer be rash in what you do in the future, and you must think more about your wives and children in everything!"

"Brother Liu, you got married early, and your experience is more than ours, why don't you tell us about what happened after you got married?" Lan Chen reacted very quickly, and the conversation changed and proposed, "Let's get familiar with it in advance." ”

"Familiar with it in advance?" Liu Sandao raised his eyebrows, then looked at Ji Yi'er beside Lan Chen with bad intentions, and said with a wicked smile, "After worshipping the hall and getting married, it is natural to enter the cave room, what do you want to be familiar with in advance tonight, just ask, as long as Miss Ji agrees, Lao Tzu will answer any questions!"

"Haha......"

Lan Chen's original intention was not like this, but it was self-defeating by Liu Sandao and said that this kind of thing happened, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter, but Su Yingying, Ji Yier, Wu Mei and several other female streamers were red-faced when they heard it, and scolded this group of men in their hearts for being so unserious.

With the opening of Lan Chen and Liu Sandao, the atmosphere in the room gradually became lively, everything really seemed to be back to when they were in the Holy Soul Academy, Lu Yifan and the others laughed and laughed with each other unscrupulously, amused, and from time to time there were a few angry scolding voices and women's angry shouts, and the laughter and laughter spread all over the Sect Master's Mansion, and it lasted for most of the night and never dispersed.

Everything seemed to be just an uneventful night, but only the subordinates of the Sect Master's Mansion knew best in their hearts that their Sect Master Lu Yifan had not been so happy for a long time since he returned from the first battle in Jinling.

......
