Mo Tiange had long let go of Jing Xingzhi.
Back then, she was plotted against, and nothing happened between them. Now that she and Qin Xi were so happy, there was no need to care about the past.
Besides, although Jing Xingzhi didn't have a good personality, he was quite affectionate toward Qin Xi.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Qin Xi then at Jing Xingzhi.
Speaking of which, the relationship between them was also very strange.
Qin Xi had a cold personality and didn't like to socialize, so other people always thought he was arrogant, cold, and distant. In fact, he treated people amiably and was polite when interacting with others.
On the other hand, he kept a distance from almost everyone and had to be reserved in his speech and behavior.
However, he never pretended to be polite to Jing Xingzhi, and he was often very direct. It seemed he didn't mind showing his true feelings in front of him.
From this aspect, Mo Tiange almost thought Qin Xi regarded Jing Xingzhi as a friend, the kind of friend he could confide in.
However, they didn't even have the most basic contact between friends. After coming out of Demonic Mountain, Qin Xi didn't mention Jing Xingzhi.
Looking at Jing Xingzhi again, from Mo Tiange's point of view, this person was really not a person to be friends with.
He almost never said a word of truth to others. When he met a woman, he would be very attentive, but deep down, he didn't take it seriously at all. He was extremely selfish and didn't care about other people's lives in order to achieve his goals. He even harmed others without benefiting himself. If he couldn't escape, he would drag others down with him.
However, although he was extremely unreliable, he would stick to his own principles. Back then, under Master Song Feng's coercion, he was still unwilling to do that kind of thing. After that, he felt even more sorry for Qin Xi.
Thinking of this, Mo Tiange felt that the relationship between them was simply intertwined with love and hate!
"I say —"
In the silence, hearing her voice, the other two people immediately looked at her.
"What's the relationship between you two?"
Upon hearing this question, Qin Xi just looked at her and didn't answer.
Jing Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and said with a surprised smile, "What do you think?"
Mo Tiange ignored him and looked at Qin Xi.
Qin Xi still didn't answer and just shook his head gently. She didn't know whether he said it didn't matter or he didn't want to talk about it now.
Then, he turned to Jing Xingzhi and asked the same question, "Why are you here?
Did you disappear in the Celestial Pole all these years because you came to Yunzhong? "
This time, Jing Xingzhi didn't answer, "Why can't I be here?" Instead, he sighed and answered seriously, "Why else?
Don't you know?
My days in Gujian Sect weren't good. After that incident on Demonic Mountain, I had a falling out with them and simply didn't want to go back. "
Mo Tiange asked, "Fellow Daoist Jing, you were only in the Core Formation realm back then, so how did you come to Yunzhong?
It can't be crossing the South Sea, right? "
"Heh." Jing Xingzhi glanced at her with a faint smile. "If you can reach Yunzhong safely, why can't I?"
He paused for a moment before he answered seriously, "In the past, when I was adventuring, I happened to come across an ancient Transporting Formation. After I planned to leave the Celestial Pole, I spent some effort to repair it.
Who would have thought that the destination of this ancient transportation formation was actually Yuan Province? After arriving at Yuan Province, I took a detour to Yunzhong. I saw that the cultivation level here was very high, so I simply stayed.
What about you guys?
Why did you come to Yunzhong? Don't tell me you also couldn't survive in Yunzhong? "
Since he spoke in such detail and didn't intend to hide anything, Mo Tiange also answered, "I learned about an undersea passage through an ancient cultivator's cave, so I came to Yunzhong to gain experience.
As for Senior Martial Brother, he crossed the South Sea to come here. "
"Oh?"
Jing Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, his gaze moving back and forth between the two of them. "Why didn't you take the same path?"
"Because the passage collapsed," Mo Tiange answered sullenly.
In any case, it had already collapsed, so it wasn't a big deal to say it out loud.
"…" Jing Xingzhi didn't expect this kind of answer, so he was speechless for a moment.
He looked at Mo Tiange then looked at Qin Xi and suddenly said, "You didn't cross the sea to look for her, did you?"
Qin Xi's expression was cold. "What? Can't I?"
"…" Jing Xingzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise. After a long time, he finally patted Qin Xi's shoulder and said, "Qin Shoujing, we've known each other for more than 200 years. Although you've always been known as a genius and your cultivation level has always been higher than mine, I've never taken it seriously.
But today, I'm convinced. I can't do this kind of thing. "
Qin Xi snorted but didn't answer.
Seeing his reaction, Jing Xingzhi laughed. "You're still talking about me? Haven't you never changed your awkward personality?"
Qin Xi's expression darkened. He resisted the urge to take out the Three Yang Real Fire Sword and asked calmly in the end, "Did you come alone?
That passage to the Immortal Palace isn't simple. It wouldn't be strange for a middle stage Nascent Soul cultivator to die inside. You didn't just form your Nascent Soul, did you? "
"Alas!"
Jing Xingzhi sighed and said, "Qin Shoujing, I don't care about other people, but don't you know?
Or are you used to looking down on me because you've always been ahead of me all these years? "
Upon hearing this, Qin Xi shut his mouth.
The two of them met when they were in the Foundation Building realm and experienced danger together. At that time, he obtained the Three Yang Real Fire Sword and the Yang Spiritual Bead, while Jing Xingzhi obtained the ancient cultivation sword and sword art he had.
It could be said that the harvest from that time was the biggest fated chance they'd had since they started cultivating. With the help of the Three Yang Real Fire Sword and the Yang Spiritual Bead, his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds. As for Jing Xingzhi, although he wasn't as dazzling as him, he knew his abilities couldn't be underestimated.
Jing Xingzhi's gaze shifted between the two of them and he suddenly smiled. "I say, the two of you aren't in a very good situation, right?"
Seeing that Qin Xi was glaring at him, he smiled proudly. "There's a rumor in Yunzhong that Fu Yao Zi's Fusheng Sword is in the hands of the Core Formation female cultivator Qin Wei. Now it seems that rumor is true.
However, although Fellow Daoist Qingwei has the Fusheng Sword, the two of you are alone and can't compare to those deep-rooted great forces in Yunzhong. I'm afraid you won't have an easy time among those late stage Nascent Soul cultivators, right? "
"So?"
With Jing Xingzhi's wisdom, Mo Tiange wasn't surprised he guessed the current situation. However, she wasn't worried he had bad intentions.
In any case, their situation was better than Jing Xingzhi's. He was only an early stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Although he had the ability to safely pass through the passage and enter Immortal Palace, there were so many late stage Nascent Soul cultivators here — it wouldn't be easy for him to obtain any benefits.
Besides, as long as she and Qin Xi met up with Master Daoist Yuanmu and the others and entered the storeroom, they'd be safe. Jing Xingzhi, on the other hand, wasn't. If that Deification refined corpse chased after them again, he might not be able to escape.
Under these circumstances, Jing Xingzhi's intention was very obvious.
"That's why I want to cooperate with you!"
He said with a smile, "Although I'm only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, your strength will increase a lot with me around!"
Sure enough.
Mo Tiange looked up at Qin Xi, but she saw that he was still expressionless. "Let's talk about your conditions."
"It's very simple."
Jing Xingzhi stopped smiling and answered seriously, "I know Fellow Daoist Qingwei has the Fusheng Sword, so you must have more information than I do. Maybe you've already prepared an escape route.
As for me, I'm also alone in this Immortal Palace. Even if there's a fated chance, it won't be my turn. Besides, there's suddenly a Deification refined corpse here, so it can be said that there's danger everywhere.
Since our situations aren't too good, we might as well cooperate.
If I join you, not to mention the fated chance, but my chances of staying alive will greatly increase. As for you, with me, your strength will increase, and you'll have more confidence in negotiating conditions with others. "
When he finished speaking, Qin Xi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You're quite confident. Those are late stage Nascent Soul cultivators who stand at the peak of the human world. Ordinary early stage Nascent Soul or even middle stage Nascent Soul cultivators won't be in their eyes at all. Even if you join us, you won't have too much weight."
"How much weight depends on how strong you are."
Jing Xingzhi smiled faintly, and a sharp look flashed across his face. "I'm a sword cultivator. Even if my ability is ordinary, I can still fight against ordinary middle stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Besides, you know why I'm confident."
"…" Qin Xi didn't say anything. He seemed to be thinking.
After a while, he turned to look at Mo Tiange with a questioning look in his eyes.
Mo Tiange smiled at him with trust in her eyes.
The corners of his mouth also curled up.
"Alright."
Qin Xi said, "Although your personality is rotten, I'm quite relieved to cooperate with you."
"Hey!" Jing Xingzhi protested when he heard what Qin Xi said. "What do you mean my personality is rotten?"
Qin Xi ignored him and continued to say, "Since it's a cooperation, we have to discuss the conditions clearly.
Although we're weak, we don't have to cooperate with you. As for you, if you don't cooperate with us and stay in Immortal Palace, your life will be in danger. "
"…" Jing Xingzhi wanted to say something, but in the end, he just spread his hands helplessly. "So?"
"I might as well tell you the truth. We do have a way to avoid this refined corpse.
This method requires the help of one thing, and this thing is related to a great fated chance.
It wasn't easy for us to obtain this thing … "
"So, you can lend me the thing, but the fated chance is yours." Jing Xingzhi rolled his eyes. "Is that what you mean?"
"Yes."
Qin Xi said calmly, "The benefit to you is only to save your life. Whether you accept it or not depends on you."
"Okay."
Qin Xi raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the affirmative answer.
Jing Xingzhi snorted. "Can I not agree?
I know you won't let me have the fated chance in Immortal Palace just for nothing.
If I were you, I wouldn't agree either. "
Although this person was annoying, he was a smart person.
Mo Tiange smiled. "Fellow Daoist Jing, although we won't let you have this fated chance, you won't necessarily get nothing by participating in this matter."
"Yes." Qin Xi also smiled. "With your personality, you'll definitely think of ways to get some benefits."
"…" Jing Xingzhi said, "Since you obtained this thing before, it's normal for you to have such a request.
However, if you get anything later, you have to give me a share. "
"Of course." Qin Xi agreed very quickly. "As long as you work hard, there's no reason not to give you a share."
Jing Xingzhi nodded with satisfaction. "Although your personality is also very annoying, I feel more at ease cooperating with you."
