Chapter 237: Collaborative Investigation (1)
Hearing Mu Chengye's words, Cheng Yan couldn't help frowning. He stood still, without any intention of leaving, and kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
He seemed to be still hesitating, his cold eyes looked at Mu Chengye, and he couldn't see the specific emotion.
"If I want to hurt you, I don't have to beat around the bush." Mu Chengye looked at him with his arms crossed, and raised a frown on one side.
Cheng Yan still didn't speak, and there was a little more vigilance in his eyes.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting stiffer and stiffer, Xie Qian thought that this could not be the case, so he immediately opened his mouth and persuaded him: "Senior brother, you can follow us." Since the purpose is the same, don't think about anything else. β
He glanced at Xie Qian, nodded, put away his long sword, and spit out a word: "Okay." β
This kind of look made Mu Chengye couldn't help but be a little concerned, looked at the two of them meaningfully, and then blocked the words that wanted to get closer to Xie Qian.
Cheng Yan glanced at him coldly, bypassed him and wanted to go to Xie Qian's side to discuss the next investigation.
However, Mu Chengye seemed to be deliberate, and as soon as his long legs straddled, the two of them were completely isolated, so that he had no chance to get close to Xie Qian at all.
He looked at Mu Chengye with indifferent eyes, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
Mu Chengye hooked the corners of his mouth, and reached out to scoop Xie Qian into his arms. Facing Xie Qian's stunned and red face, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
He turned his head slightly to look at Cheng Yan, and his smile was a little more cold.
Xie Qian sensed that something was wrong, turned his head to look at the two of them, and after capturing the indifference in Mu Chengye's eyes and the dissatisfaction in Cheng Yan's eyes, he seemed to understand something.
She touched the beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, stretched out her hand and carefully tugged at Mu Chengye's robe, squeezed out a smile, and changed the subject: "Lord Demon Venerable, where are we going next?" β
"Nameless Lake." Mu Chengye replied helplessly, "This is our purpose all along. β
Asked a nonsense.
Xie Qian swallowed his saliva and continued to ask, "I just heard that Senior Brother is going to find an evil spirit, and it teaches all evil spirits to use talismans to transform into puppets. Such evil spirits are also in that nameless lake? β
"Yes." Mu Chengye's answer was very simple.
Seeing that Mu Chengye only answered one word, Xie Qian was displeased, so he could only loosen his sleeves.
In fact, Mu Chengye also found Hua Rong to investigate, although he didn't get much information about King Ji, but found out that in the nameless lake, an evil spirit could use a talisman to transform into a puppet.
reminded me of the puppets I had seen in Qizhou City before, and thought that there must be a connection.
Cheng Yan listened to the conversation between the two people, thought for a while, and said to himself: "It seems that this harvest is not small. β
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the two looked at each other at the same time. With a hint of annoyance on his cold face, he said to Xie Qian: "Little Sect Master Xie, can you take a step to speak?" β
"No." Mu Chengye intercepted what Xie Qian was about to say, and decisively refused, "You can say anything here, after all, I and Qian Qian are indistinguishable from each other." I can know what she knows. β
In the face of Mu Chengye's vexatious trouble, Xie Qian finally couldn't bear it. She lowered her face and said, "Mu Chengye, I'm just talking to my senior brother." β
When she opened her mouth to call her name, it was when she was jealous and unhappy.
Mu Chengye frowned and observed carefully for a while, understanding that what she was doing might make her uncomfortable, so she had to pouted aggrievedly and pushed a few steps back, signaling that they could speak.
His eyes have always refused to leave Xie Qian, living like a child.
Xie Qian's anger was mostly gone, and he pulled Cheng Yan to a tree, and after making sure that Mu Chengye was far away from here, he apologized: "I'm really sorry, Lord Demon Venerable is always so naΓ―ve." Senior brother has something to say, he can't hear it here. β
"It's fine." Cheng Yan replied coldly, glanced at Mu Chengye, who was still aggrieved, and continued, "Does the Demon Venerable really plan to investigate with us?" If the person in the Nameless Lake is a person in the Demon Realm, he really won't protect it? β
Xie Qian immediately laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Senior brother can rest assured about this." Lord Demon Venerable also knows that what has happened recently has been done by traitors in the Demon Realm, and it has damaged the reputation of the Demon Realm, so he will definitely not protect it. β
"The Demon Realm cares about reputation?" Cheng Yan's brows twisted into a pimple. This was the first time he had heard of it.
Of course he cares, because he is going to marry the little sect master of the fairy world!
Xie Qian swallowed this sentence into his stomach, only showing a meaningful smile.
Cheng Yan didn't seem at ease, frowned worriedly, and asked, "Why do you trust him so much?" β
Regarding Mu Chengye and Xie Qian, he heard a lot of rumors. Most people think that the Demon Venerable is just playing Xie Qian, but with today's observation, they think that this is not the case.
Demon Venerable unconditionally favors Xie Qian, and Xie Qian believes in him unconditionally.
He couldn't help but wonder why the Demon Venerable had won Xie Qian's trust.
Xie Qian narrowed his eyes, secretly glanced at Mu Chengye, and said firmly: "The two of us have known each other for so many years and experienced hundreds of years, and we are already familiar with each other. β
This sentence made Cheng Yan mutter, and finally came to the conclusion that people in love really have bad brains.
He didn't think the two had anything to say, and turned and walked on his way out into the woods.
Seeing that the two of them finished speaking, Mu Chengye immediately came over, with an expression that seemed to have been wronged, and asked pitifully, "What did you two say?" β
"You are Lord Demon Venerable, the first in the Three Realms." Xie Qian said expressionlessly, "Please pay attention to your own image." β
Mu Chengye had no choice but to reach out and hook Xie Qian's waist, turn around and follow Cheng Yan to the Nameless Lake.
The nameless lake is quite close to the woods, and you can see a pool of clear water out of here. They leaned over, but saw that the bottom of the water was pitch black under the sunlight.
The dim shadows intertwined, swaying slightly with the flow of the water.
In places like this, where you can't see the specifics, evil spirits tend to live.
Xie Qian wanted to get closer to observe, but was pulled by Mu Chengye. He protected her behind him and said with a cold face: "Coriander, the evil qi here is too heavy, don't get close." β
She had to obediently leave the lake.
Mu Chengye bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood into it.
As the blood entered, the entire surface of the lake reacted instantly. A large amount of water poured up, and screams came from the bottom. Dark shadows rose from the lake, but dissipated when they touched the lake.
He stared at the water unhurriedly, not seeming to take it into account.
Cheng Yan was dumbfounded.
He had long heard that the power of the Demon Venerable was the first in the Three Realms, and no one in the entire Immortal Realm could match it. I thought it was an exaggeration, but it was an eye-opener to see it today. His power is more than the rumors.
These black gases, some of which emerge casually, are enough to fight Cheng Yan for a while. But in front of Mu Chengye, these are like ants.
Feeling Cheng Yan's gaze, Mu Chengye's eyes looked over, and there seemed to be a trace of disdain.
These children's tricks were completely seen by Xie Qian, and he could only sigh fiercely.
Even though he was a terrifying Demon Venerable of the Three Realms, he was no different from a child.
