I work as a cook in Xuanmen

Chapter 39 Before Dawn

The speed of the crystal ship was very fast. Just when he was about to see the gate of Tianji City, Heng Yue stopped the crystal ship in mid-air.

He looked at Lize with a heavy gaze.

"It's better to bring Qingwan with you!" Heng Yue advised.

"No, there are too many risks along the way. I don't dare to take risks." Lize shook his head, with a fleeting hesitation on his face.

Xu Jiu said with relief, "It's okay, there are so many monks in Tianji Academy, she doesn't dare to mess around."

In the end, I was sent back to Tianjiyuan by Lize without any room to interrupt.

He repeatedly told Hengyue and the others to protect me, and then he got up and headed to Tianjing City.

Before leaving, he took away Heng Yue's crystal ship.

I laughed at Heng Yue, "You are a male demon, but you actually like girls' magic weapons."

Heng Yue did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he smiled happily and said, "That is my master's magic weapon. Now I am just keeping it on her behalf."

"Do you also have a master? What kind of person is your master?" I am really curious. Heng Yue is the demon king. How powerful a monk does it take to become his master.

Heng Yue seemed to be lost in memories, and the beautiful memories made him smile involuntarily.

Heng Yue came out of his memories, looked at me again, and said with a smile, "She is a very powerful and kind monk."

"Sometimes she is very simple, sometimes she is very independent, and she doesn't follow what others say."

"She hates evil as much as she hates it, and she won't bully the weak."

Heng Yue said that his master was excellent, but now that his master is gone, he doesn't know where he has gone.

Everything was normal at Tianjiyuan. When we went back, Zi Ling was waiting at the door.

When she saw us, she smiled lightly as always.

Seeing that Lize was not there, he looked at Xu Jiu with some disappointment, "Where did he go?"

Xu Jiu hid the sourness in his heart and said with a smile, "There is something wrong with his master's sect, so he has been summoned back to Xuanqing sect."

Zi Ling probably never suspected anything. When she asked Lize on weekdays, Xu Jiu was the same, with a forced smile on his face.

Zi Ling muttered to herself, "I don't know why his ancestors let him go out to take risks when the Six Realms are so turbulent now."

She seemed to be aggrieved for Lize, but in fact she was planning to get some information from us.

She and I have no dealings with each other, and I don’t want to make excuses with him.

Avoiding her, he ducked into Tianji City.

"I'm going back to my room first, you guys can chat slowly."

Zi Ling stopped me gently and said, "Qingwan, although you received the task directly from Lize, since you have received the kitchen errand, I still hope that you can fulfill your responsibilities."

This tea tree really disgusts me.

"You also said it was sent directly from Lize, so don't worry about it. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you." I said coldly.

Zi Ling imagined that I was putting pressure on her, but before she had anything, Heng Yue stepped in front of me and raised her hand to block it.

"..." I saw that spiritual power turning a few turns in the air like a snake, and then returned to Zi Ling.

This is something I couldn't see before. Now that I can see it, it only means that my cultivation level has improved again.

"You still want to do the same thing again?" I smiled sarcastically at her.

Xu Jiu pulled her and said, "Ziling, can you calm down?"

Zi Ling looked at him with red eyes, "Are you going to stop me too?"

Zi Ling probably felt that if Lize was gone, I would have no one to rely on.

Xu Jiu remained silent, but held her arm tightly.

Zi Ling struggled a few times but failed to break free.

I wasn't interested in the confrontation between the two, and I didn't pay attention to Zi Ling's tense situation.

Went straight back to the room.

Heng Yue glanced sideways at Zi Ling, his eyes full of disgust.

Xu Jiu is probably the saddest one. His investment in Zi Ling is not only friendship, but also love.

As soon as I entered the room, I always felt something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

Heng Yue followed closely behind me and came in. Seeing me stunned, he looked around defensively, but saw nothing strange.

Then he asked me, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The windows were closed, the beds were folded neatly, and the beaded curtains and screens were all neat and tidy, except that the lids of the clothes boxes were not tightly closed.

"I haven't noticed it yet, I just think it's weird."

I flattened the lid and closed it tightly before sitting down at the table. "Maybe it's because the lid of the box is usually closed tightly, but today I saw it was not closed tightly, so I felt awkward."

I picked up the teapot and the tea inside was already cold.

I poured out the tea and replaced it with Wuling tea, then poured a cup for Heng Yue and me.

I held the tea cup thoughtfully, while Heng Yue drank the tea and poured another cup.

"Xu Jiu is quite infatuated. Under the current situation, he still wants to protect Zi Ling." Heng Yue said with emotion.

I came back to my senses and said with a smile, "After all, Zi Ling is the person he has been in love with for many years, how could he not have feelings for her."

When I mention Zi Ling, I feel depressed.

I drove her things out of my mind and took out the Yuanling Pill I refined today, "I don't want to mention her, it's annoying to death."

Seeing that I was in a bad mood, Heng Yue stopped talking about Zi Ling.

Then he said to me, "Because Yuanling Pill is a low-level pill, it has no grade. High-grade pills have grades."

"How to tell?" I don't know anything about this kind of thing.

"The strength of the aura depends on the weak. Generally, pills that are above the immortal level will cause thunder disasters when released. Your cultivation level is still low now. If you encounter one, don't resist, abandon the tripod, and run away."

I opened my mouth wide in surprise, "Can it still be done like this?"

Heng Yue smiled lightly and said, "The three-legged tripod can withstand it. It is refined by Yu Xian and is the highest level magic weapon in the spiritual world."

He is said to be Cosine, or my great uncle, but I know nothing about this person.

I handed over the Yuanling Pill in my hand, "Is this kind of spiritual light the lowest quality?"

"Yes, this kind of circle of spiritual light is the first level, the second level and the third level. After that, it is the immortal level."

Hey, it’s messy, I don’t want to remember it.

I looked at Heng Yue somewhat perfunctorily.

"I feel so tired today. I don't know if it's because I didn't get a good rest last night."

I deliberately wanted him to know that I was sleepy.

When it comes to driving people away, except for directly dealing with Lize, I feel really embarrassed to chase other people away.

Heng Yue nodded understandingly, "Then you have a good rest, I'll keep watch outside."

"You should go and rest too." I still think Tianjiyuan is quite safe.

Heng Yue shook his head, "Lize disagrees. I will rest outside in the realm. If there is someone outside, I will know."

Heng Yue insists on having his own way, and I can't get rid of him.

I slept until noon the next day, but when I woke up, I didn’t feel fresh from a good sleep. Instead, I felt even more tired.

When I was getting dressed, I noticed a layer of golden light looming on my clothes.

I reached out and touched it, and pulled up a piece of golden light.

The spiritual light on the golden thread flows slowly, as if it is a living thing.

After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered the gold armor that Lize gave me.

"Hengyue, are you outside?"

I can't see through this golden armor, but there is something fishy between Heng Yue and Lize today.

"Yes, what's wrong with you?"

"Come in first, I have something to ask you."

Heng Yue pushed the door open and came in. I motioned for him to close the door tightly.

He closed the door and walked to the table, "Sit down."

After he sat down, I asked, "What secret is hidden in the gold armor?"

Heng Yue never expected that I would ask about the golden silk armor.

He was stunned for a long time and looked at me hesitantly, "How should I tell you? Because now I don't know what all this is going on."

"The golden silk armor also belongs to your master, right?"

His hesitation made me more sure of my suspicion.

"Yes."

I pursed my lips.

Although I had speculations in my mind, I still felt a little sad. I asked again, "The person Lize fell in love with before was your master?"

Heng Yue nodded again.
