Do You Trust Your Disciples?

Xu Xuanyu blinked.

How come another person has come to approve of him?

"Senior, are you still mocking me?" Xu Xuanyu asked, scratching his head.

He was living under someone else's roof and was still making amends; he didn't want to offend anyone else.

It's just that her mouth sometimes makes her prone to saying the wrong thing.

"No! I quite like your personality. But not many people dare to say I'm ugly, because those who do are no longer human. Besides, you're not really his brother-in-law anymore, only his ex-brother-in-law, so I admire you a little."

Xu Xuanyu: "..."

"Come on, tell me in detail what you did to deserve this treatment from Xue Tianfei and the others?"

Xiao Qingyi was genuinely curious.

This kid has only been here a short time, but he's already managed to handle those difficult people like Wang Duanshan!

And it seems that Lu Qing'an doesn't want to make things difficult for this kid anymore.

This ability is terrifyingly powerful!

This even made him want to seek knowledge from the scriptures!

Xu Xuanyu smiled wryly and said, "I didn't actually do anything; I just said what was on my mind."

"Honest words? You think you can fool me? You think telling them what's on their mind will make them treat you like that?"

Xue Tianfei might not say anything about Xu Xuanyu out of consideration for Lu Qing'an, but it's really strange that she would actively support Xu Xuanyu.

Wang Duanshan was the same; that old guy always acted like everyone owed him money!

Li Cangxuan was even more puzzled. This kid usually couldn't speak properly in crowded places, but last night he actually stood up for Xu Xuanyu!

"Really? Shall I recount to you what happened when I first arrived?"

"Okay, go ahead and say it."

"Ahem, senior, could you do me a favor?"

"What kind of help?"

"Help me clean the yard, we can chat as we sweep!"

It's too tiring to be alone.

Xiao Qingyi pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay!"

And so, the two chatted as they cleaned the yard.

Xu Xuanyu is extremely skilled with his mouth. Having practiced various vocal techniques since childhood, he can immediately imitate other people's voices after hearing them.

He vividly recounted what happened that day.

"This is what I said to Senior Xue Tianfei at the time..."

After finishing what he had said that day, he coughed and then imitated Xue Tianfei's voice.

"That's what Senior Xue said..."

Xiao Qingyi was stunned when he heard that Xu Xuanyu had not only perfectly replicated Xue Tianfei's voice, but also perfectly portrayed the changes in Xue Tianfei's expression that day with his face.

Holy crap!

What a talent!!

"No wonder! You're amazing, kid! You pinpointed exactly what Xue Tianfei wanted to hear and said it all! Where are Wang Duanshan and Li Cangxuan?"

Xu Xuanyu started imitating Wang Duanshan and Li Cangxuan again.

The two swept the yard, pausing occasionally to sit and chat.

Xiao Qingyi would often put his hand on Xu Xuanyu's shoulder, as if the two had been close friends for many years.

Lu Qing'an and Xue Tianfei walked out of the house together. As soon as they took a breath of fresh air, they saw Xu Xuanyu in a corner in the distance, their arms around each other and looking very happy.

Xue Tianfei: "I knew they'd get along."

Lu Qing'an: "..."

After watching Xu Xuanyu's performance, Xiao Qingyi laughed and said, "You're not bad, kid! Are you sure you're saying what you really think, or something you've already prepared?"

"These are all the truth! To be honest, senior, I've been inquiring about the situation in the Demon Domain Realm since I was a child, and I know a lot about people related to my brother-in-law! Especially you!"

Xu Xuanyu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "You're one of my brother-in-law's best friends despite the age gap. You've been through so much together, and you've reached the level of trust where you can entrust your back to each other. I've always wanted to meet such a good friend or brother, but as I get older, I find it a bit difficult..."

Looking at Xu Xuanyu's slightly naive demeanor, which seemed to be telling the truth, Xiao Qingyi swallowed hard.

This kid's words really hit home so easily!

Was it truly unintentional, or was it a deliberate fabrication?

Through what he heard from Lu Qing'an about Xu Xuanyu, his understanding of Xu Xuanyu also became richer.

This mouth can speak kind words that strike a chord deep within people, and it can also speak ill of them, easily breaking their defenses.

"That's not right, it doesn't make sense that you don't have many friends in the Immortal Ruins."

This mouth must have many close friends.

"Of course I have friends, but not many, because I prefer to talk to them about the Eternal Night Demon Emperor. As you know, many people over there don't actually like people from the Demon Domain."

"Oh, that makes sense."

"By the way, do you have any hobbies? Everyone says you're a lot like me, I want to see just how similar we are."

"Um, is it a hobby? I love watching excitement, does that count? And it's strange, even before the excitement starts, I have a feeling that something exciting is about to happen."

Xiao Qingyi's eyes widened slightly, then he patted Xu Xuanyu's shoulder very solemnly and laughed:

"Xu lad, I'll be your friend!"

Xiao Qingyi and Xu Xuanyu chatted for a long time, and the more they talked, the more Xu Xuanyu realized that they were exceptionally compatible.

He didn't leave Xu Xuanyu's side until Xu Xuanyu went to the potion garden to manage the potions.

He arrived at the stone pavilion, looked at Lu Qing'an, and still had a smile on his face.

"That kid's not bad."

Hearing Xiao Qingyi's words, Lu Qing'an said, "You've been tricked into becoming an embryo too?"

Xiao Qingyi said, "I'm not as simple as those three. I genuinely think this kid has something special. You're right, he's not a bad person, and he has a sharp tongue. He's quite likeable."

Lu Qing'an smiled without saying a word.

He kept saying that Xu Xuanyu wasn't a bad person because he knew that the kid wasn't pretending and would say things directly, which could be considered a form of sincerity.

When you're nice to someone, you're very nice; when you dislike someone, you don't suppress it, and even if you do, it won't last long—it's easy for it to show.

Just then, Xiao Qingyi's two apprentices came out of the house.

"Master! Senior!"

The two quickly bowed to Lu Qing'an.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

"No need for that, please sit down. How are your injuries?"

Lu Qing'an looked at Xiao Qingyi's eldest disciple, Yu Zhi.

The bald head gleamed brightly in the morning light, his square face was slightly pale, and his large, clear eyes gave off a very determined feeling.

"I feel much better after taking the pills given by Senior Xue!"

"Okay, come on, tell me in detail what happened that day."

Since Yu Zhi injured the Holy Son of the Blood Phoenix Sect, the details he provided would be more accurate.

Yu Zhi nodded and recounted what had happened that day.

"Judging from what you've said, this Holy Son of the Blood Phoenix Sect must be an extremely arrogant person who won't give up until he achieves his goals."

Lu Qing'an took out Sound Transmission Jade Slip and sent a message to his disciple, instructing him to thoroughly investigate the character of the Blood Phoenix Sect's Holy Son within the Blood Phoenix Sect.

The answer came shortly afterward.

This differs slightly from Yu Zhi's description.

The Holy Son of the Blood Phoenix Sect has always maintained a low profile.

Because his older sister taught him from a young age to be humble.

Lu Qing'an: "Tell me what happened after you got trapped."

Yu Zhi nodded and recounted what happened next in detail.

"Alright, you two should stay within Demon Descent City and not wander around. That tree over there is the Demon God Mother Tree. Go pick some leaves and rest for a while."

"The Demon God Mother Tree?!"

The two looked in Lu Qing'an's direction and swallowed hard in shock.

After sending the two away, Lu Qing'an looked at Xiao Qingyi and asked, "How much do you trust your two apprentices?"

Xiao Qingyi said, "I watched them grow up since they were little."

"Hmm, if I asked you to kill your two disciples with your own hands, would you do it?" Lu Qing'an asked calmly via telepathy.
