Chapter 110: Chapter 110, Indication

I will be by your side. It’s not that I want to be, nor that I desire to be.

This wasn’t a tone open for discussion.

But no one would ignore his words, or underestimate them.

This person, who looked about the same age as Yun Xia, both Feng Xiao Shan and Xiao Nan Li knew that he was definitely not as young and naive as he appeared.

Feng Xiao Shan said, “Since we previously agreed to allow you to come and go as you please, then naturally you can leave whenever you wish. I stand by my words; no one will stop you.”

Mo Jun Zhou nodded: “Please rest assured, Headmaster Feng Ming, I will not go where I shouldn’t.”

“Hahahaha, Venerable Demon is righteous and straightforward! Of course, I trust you.”

Yun Xia watched all the undercurrents from the side. Now that they were using “I” [formal], it meant this was a very formal exchange, so he naturally wouldn’t interrupt with jokes at this time.

Except, righteous…

Feng Xiao Shan’s choice of words was truly shameless. Mo Jun Zhou wasn’t here because of some great righteousness, but because of the Demonic Transformation Pill; he was forced. What he was doing naturally wouldn’t benefit the demon realm in any way.

Yet he said “righteousness.”

Yun Xia quietly turned his face aside, making an extremely speechless, tongue-sticking-out expression.

But when he looked up, he saw Zhi Kong’s face.

To be precise, it was Zhi Kong’s head; he couldn’t see his face under the hood.

Yun Xia was first startled, feeling a bit embarrassed to have been caught, but he couldn’t be sure if Zhi Kong was looking at him.

Zhi Kong’s direction was indeed facing him, but he could also be looking at someone else.

Over there, Mo Jun Zhou began speaking with Feng Xiao Shan and Xiao Nan Li. The topic was about him. Mo Jun Zhou was carefully asking about the Demonic Transformation Pill and the black marks on Yun Xia’s body, while Yun Xia began studying Zhi Kong’s head, guessing whether Zhi Kong was actually looking at him.

But the person opposite him stood motionless, completely unreadable, giving off no information at all.

Too much cheating, this isn’t fair!

So Yun Xia began mouthing words at him, making various small expressions, even making faces.

To prevent the others from noticing, he even secretly hid behind Mo Jun Zhou, using his body as a shield, keeping his movements small.

But Zhi Kong remained the same as before, like a stone statue, not even turning his head.

Fine, then he probably didn’t notice him, or saw him but couldn’t be bothered.

Yun Xia gave up goofing off and began staring at Zhi Kong, looking at his hood, looking at his clothes.

Zhi Kong: “…”

Yun Xia’s gaze was startlingly direct; Zhi Kong had noticed it from the start, and it was hard to ignore.

At first, he listened to the Headmaster and the others talking, while also trying to see what Yun Xia was up to.

What is he saying? Can’t make out the lip movements.

What is he doing? How can this person not pay attention to his own affairs? The Headmaster and Immortal Venerable are talking about his immortal pill.

What’s that expression… interesting. Does he want to scare him? Dream on, how could he be scared.

Like a little puppy that can’t settle down…

As he watched, his attention gradually shifted more and more to this side.

In the end, Yun Xia stared straight at him, his gaze moving back and forth over him, full of curiosity. Even Zhi Kong, the first enforcer of the Zhi Law Hall, felt a little uncomfortable.

Didn’t he think that he might be looking at him? As an enforcer of law, could his sensitivity be so low?

“What do you think, Zhi Kong?”

Zhi Kong: “…”

Feng Xiao Shan’s words suddenly brought Zhi Kong back to his senses, and the expression under his hood changed.

He had actually spaced out. As an enforcer of law, he had spaced out while the Headmaster and Immortal Venerable were speaking…

The only saving grace was that no one could see his face, no one knew what he was thinking.

But Zhi Kong wasn’t the type to hide his mistakes.

He lowered his head slightly: “Immortal Venerable, please forgive my transgression. I didn’t hear your instructions clearly just now. Please punish me, Headmaster.”

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and everyone’s gaze fell on Zhi Kong.

Yun Xia grabbed Mo Jun Zhou’s sleeve, a little confused. What was going on? Could it be that he didn’t hear them because he was looking at him?

No, no way…

The others didn’t know what they were thinking, but they all turned their gaze back to Yun Xia.

Yun Xia: “…”

Mo Jun Zhou was the first to say, “You are the master of that weapon. You are most familiar with it. If we want to draw out the black chi from Yun Xia’s body, what else do we need to pay attention to?”

Zhi Kong paused, and said, “With Senior Brother personally handling this matter, there’s not much to worry about. However… it would be best if Martial Nephew rested for a few days, adjusting his condition to the best before starting. That black mark is most intense at the beginning. If you want to be safe, it’s best to wait until it’s more stable before taking action.”

Mo Jun Zhou nodded.

At this time, Feng Xiao Shan also spoke: “Then that’s settled. But it’s rare for Zhi Kong to space out, so there’s no need for punishment. Over the years, as the most diligent in the Zhi Law Hall, taking on the most missions, and never making any mistakes, it’s rare to be tripped up by little Yun Xia. Hahahaha, if that old fellow knew, he would definitely want to see what the person who made you suffer looks like.”

Zhi Kong: “Thank you, Headmaster.”

Xiao Nan Li also said, “I have a feeling that Zhi Kong will meet his nemesis in the future.”

Yun Xia immediately said, “No, no, no, don’t say that. I can’t take it, can’t take it. Um, since things are settled, can we leave?”

“Leave? Where does Martial Nephew want to go? Don’t tell me you want to drag Esteemed Lord Li Yu everywhere to play? I told you to rest well for a few days, not to go out and play for a few days. Have you already forgotten?” Xiao Nan Li tapped Yun Xia from across the room.

That was exactly what Yun Xia was thinking.

“Uh, can’t I go out and play? I don’t feel any different right now. Those black marks just look scary, but they’re actually fine. I really don’t feel anything.”

Mo Jun Zhou looked at the others opposite him, frowning slightly, and pressed Yun Xia’s hand: “Wait until the black chi is removed before playing. Also, try not to use your Dantian or demon chi these few days.”

Since he had said so, Yun Xia pouted: “Alright, then.”

“In that case, we will take our leave first.” Mo Jun Zhou said to Feng Xiao Shan.

“Alright, go back.”

After Mo Jun Zhou and Yun Xia left, Feng Xiao Shan also took flight, leaving.

Xiao Nan Li watched the direction they left, tapping his palm with his fan, his gaze also calming down.

“Zhi Kong, you have been controlling those black chi, haven’t you?”

After a long while, Zhi Kong replied in a low voice, “It was my mistake that injured the disciples within the sect. It’s what I should do.”

Xiao Nan Li chuckled: “He didn’t notice at all, and he won’t thank you either. If you weren’t working so hard to maintain it, he would have been crying in pain by now, right? Zhi Kong’s Dark Demon Claw isn’t just for show.”

Zhi Kong didn’t speak.

“However, that Venerable Demon should have seen something.”

“…”

Yun Xia and them reached the edge of South Emminence Peak. Yun Xia was about to use his sword to fly Mo Jun Zhou back when Mo Jun Zhou stopped him.

“Don’t fly. Let’s walk back.”

Yun Xia: “Huh?”

Mo Jun Zhou didn’t waste words and directly pulled him down.

Yun Xia looked at the mountain path, tentatively saying, “Isn’t that unnecessary? It’s quite far from Leisure Cloud Peak. How long will it take to walk? I’ll just use it for a bit; nothing big will happen.”

Mo Jun Zhou refused: “Don’t use it if you can avoid it. And it doesn’t matter if it’s far; we can walk and talk. You talk so much. You might not finish speaking even when we reach Leisure Cloud Peak.”

Yun Xia felt like he was being disliked: “Are you saying I talk too much?”

“No, you’re like a sparrow. Although a bit noisy, it’s not annoying.”

Yun Xia: “???”

He reached out and pinched Mo Jun Zhou’s cheek: “Annoying? You say I’m annoying? Then I’ll annoy you to death.”

The two of them walked towards Leisure Cloud Peak, bickering like this.

In fact, there were long aerial bridges connecting each immortal mountain. Not everyone was just flying around directly; there were still paths.

And it was indeed as Mo Jun Zhou said; this journey wasn’t boring.

Yun Xia told him about what he had seen and heard these past few days, and Mo Jun Zhou also told him about what he had been doing these past two days.

Phoenix Cry was very big. They just walked and looked at the scenery, watching the immortal cranes, watching the colorful clouds in the sky, watching the suspended mountains in the distance.

In the end, they didn’t return to Leisure Cloud Peak, but went to Mo Jun Zhou’s Moon Water Peak.

“Wow, it’s so big here, so empty, and there’s not a single person. It’s my first time coming here.”

Mo Jun Zhou: “It’s my first time coming here too.”

“Pfft—” Yun Xia laughed.

“That’s pretty good, that’s pretty good. It’s free without anyone. Let’s go, let’s tour your big villa.”

“Big villa?”

“Hahahahaha, yeah, big villa, your big house!”

Until it was dark, until the night was deep, Yun Xia remained here.

He planned to sleep here directly, not thinking about any accidents at all.

And for some reason, he wasn’t sleepy at all. His body seemed very heavy, but also very agile, always wanting to move around.

A little uncomfortable, but he couldn’t say where.

Mo Jun Zhou noticed his condition, frowned, and pulled him down to sit, reaching out to feel his skin.

The skin where those black marks were located was cooler than other places. He asked Yun Xia if he felt anything. Yun Xia said no, it didn’t hurt.

But Mo Jun Zhou, as a spirit cultivator, knew that Yun Xia’s current condition wasn’t right.

And the reason was these black marks on his body.

Just as he was about to use his spirit power to help calm his consciousness, someone landed on his Moon Water Peak.

“You… Zhi Kong? Geez, you’re dressed in black like a ghost. I almost didn’t see you standing here.”

Zhi Kong glanced at Mo Jun Zhou, who was standing next to Yun Xia and also dressed in black, and said nothing.

“What are you doing here?” Mo Jun Zhou said.

“I’m here to take him back to Leisure Cloud Peak. His residence isn’t here.”

Yun Xia: “Huh? Do you have to check people’s rooms? No way.”

Zhi Kong said in a rigid tone: “The Head Senior Brother instructed, and Phoenix Cry has a rule that Phoenix Cry disciples cannot randomly spend the night in other people’s rooms.”

No wonder they said that Phoenix Cry had many rules; they even had rules like this.

In the middle of the night, Yun Xia was too lazy to argue. He was inexplicably a little irritable, and didn’t want to pass this mood on to others.

So he turned to Mo Jun Zhou and said, “You won’t be able to accompany me tomorrow, will you?”

Mo Jun Zhou smoothed his hair: “Yes, I have to go to the Star Demon Pavilion tomorrow. After you have rested well, I will come find you on the day to convert your Demonic Transformation Pill.”

Yun Xia’s eyes lit up: “Okay, then I’ll wait for you.”

After saying that, he turned to Zhi Kong and said, “You go out and wait for me. I’ll go back with you later.”

Zhi Kong looked at him for a moment, said nothing, and turned and walked out.

After he walked away, Yun Xia leaned in front of Mo Jun Zhou: “Then I’m going back tonight?”

Yun Xia’s cheeks were a little red. Mo Jun Zhou touched them with the back of his hand; they weren’t hot.

“Yes.”

“Don’t you have any indication?”

Mo Jun Zhou was still thinking about his body: “What?”

“A goodbye kiss.”

Mo Jun Zhou paused.

Yun Xia looked at him with a smile.
