Watching Yi Huachi put the book on the table and prepare to open it, Zhao Chen'an's heart tightened. As long as he could see the content, the rest could be left to the system.
System: "...... Well done, host!"
Suddenly, Yi Huachi sat cross - legged on the ground and murmured words that even Zhao Chen'an couldn't understand. The book on the table seemed to be endowed with spiritual power and began to turn its pages by itself.
What was he saying?
Zhao Chen'an wanted to find out more, but suddenly the system's panicked voice rang in his mind: "No! Host, run quickly!!"
What?
Before Zhao Chen'an could ask, a dark - red spiritual energy mass suddenly emerged from Yi Huachi's body. It hovered slightly in the air and attached itself to Yi Huachi, as if absorbing something.
What was this?
The system urged, "Stop looking and go! If we don't leave, we'll both be done for!!"
Zhao Chen'an's intuition told him that the thing around Yi Huachi was definitely not something good.
Zhao Chen'an tugged at Qin Beixuan's sleeve and said urgently, "Senior brother, let's stop looking. Let's leave here quickly!" Then he very naturally wrapped his hand around Qin Beixuan's neck.
"Who's there!"
Hearing the sound on the roof, Yi Huachi inside the house sprang up. All the dark - red gas outside instantly rushed into his body.
By the time Yi Huachi reached the roof, there was nothing there except the upturned roof tile. He looked into the distance thoughtfully.
Meanwhile, Zhao Chen'an and the others had returned to their residence. Qin Beixuan had even been so considerate as to take them directly to Zhao Chen'an's room.
Fortunately, Qin Beixuan had run fast. Otherwise, they had no idea what would have happened next.
Once he felt safe, Zhao Chen'an tapped the system in his mind and asked, "What was that just now, little guy?"
The system seemed to be talking to itself, "It's the chaotic divine power, the power that can destroy the heaven and earth... But wasn't it already sealed...?"
Chaotic divine power... Zhao Chen'an thought deeply.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Zhao Chen'an sitting on the chair, holding his head in distress, Qin Beixuan couldn't help asking.
Zhao Chen'an drawled, "Just that thing we saw just now~"
Qin Beixuan said, "I seem to have seen that thing before."
Zhao Chen'an frowned and looked at Qin Beixuan in confusion. Logically speaking, Qin Beixuan couldn't have seen the chaotic divine power that even their master hadn't experienced. How could a junior like Qin Beixuan know about it?
"Where did you see it?" Zhao Chen'an asked.
Qin Beixuan shook his head, looking distressed. He said, "I can't remember, but I vaguely remember seeing it."
Zhao Chen'an asked again, "Do you know what it's called?"
Qin Beixuan shook his head.
Well, he had only just heard about it from the system.
"It's the chaotic divine power, the one sealed by the Phoenix Divine Lord Qiu Chang thousands of years ago." Zhao Chen'an explained, "Now that the chaotic divine power has reappeared in the Hun Tian Palace, senior brother, I suspect that the Phoenix Seal may also be related to the Chaos."
Qin Beixuan frowned and took out a jade pendant from his bosom.
This was no ordinary jade pendant. It was the jade pendant used for sound - transmission on Ziwei Mountain. By infusing a little spiritual power into it and silently thinking of the person's name in one's mind, one could transmit a message.
He said, "This matter concerns the survival of the cultivation world. I need to report it to our master as soon as possible."
Zhao Chen'an nodded in agreement.
However, what benefit had the Chaos given to Yi Huachi to make him willing to work for it, even at the risk of being reviled in the cultivation world?
It seemed that he had to go and ask Yi Liang tomorrow. Maybe as his son, he knew something.
While he was thinking, Qin Beixuan had already finished transmitting the message. Zhao Chen'an looked at him, as if asking how it had gone.
Qin Beixuan put the jade pendant back into his bosom and said, "Master said that he can't come down the mountain for the time being. He has left this matter to me to handle."
Wouldn't senior brother be beaten up by Yi Huachi!
Zhao Chen'an tilted his head and whispered to Qin Beixuan, "Senior brother, are you scared?"
"Scared of wha..." As Qin Beixuan was speaking, his eyes involuntarily fixed on Zhao Chen'an's eyes.
It had to be said that Zhao Chen'an's peach - blossom eyes were really beautiful. They seemed to be able to talk. Just looking at them for a few more times would make one unconsciously fall into their abyss and not want to escape.
Because of Zhao Chen'an, Qin Beixuan, whose spiritual power was higher than that of the elders on Ziwei Mountain, suddenly changed his mind. He looked distressed and said, "An'er, I'm scared. Will you protect me?"
Zhao Chen'an rarely saw Qin Beixuan showing such weakness. For a moment, he was once again deceived by his appearance. "Senior brother, don't be afraid. I'll protect you!"
Although Zhao Chen'an's cultivation was not as high as Qin Beixuan's, it was not negligible. Otherwise, the position of the second senior brother on Ziwei Mountain would probably have been taken by someone else long ago.
Qin Beixuan smiled, looking like an old fox. "Okay, An'er must keep your word."
Zhao Chen'an patted his chest and said, "Of course. A real man's word is his bond!"
After saying that, Zhao Chen'an yawned widely, which made him realize that it was already late.
However, with Qin Beixuan in his room at this moment... Zhao Chen'an, who had always had impure thoughts, came up with another "bad idea".
Zhao Chen'an flipped onto the couch with a kick, patted the space beside him, and said seductively, "Senior brother, since you're here and it's so late, how about sleeping together?"
Qin Beixuan: "......"
Zhao Chen'an propped his face up with one hand, squinted slightly, and said with a smile, "Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
"Of course not." Qin Beixuan looked at the young man on the bed, his Adam's apple rolling slightly as he replied, "I'm afraid you won't sleep well."
Zhao Chen'an was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing. "Senior brother, don't be so serious~" Then he flipped out of bed, half - sat on the table, and hooked Qin Beixuan's chin with his hand, forcing him to look at himself.
"Senior brother, is your ear red again?"
Zhao Chen'an stared into his eyes. Suddenly, he felt that the other's eyes seemed to become hotter.
Qin Beixuan smiled, looked up, and pinched Zhao Chen'an's chin. He pulled the whole person towards him, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice tinged with desire, "Do you know what you're doing, Zhao Chen'an?"
A trace of panic suddenly flashed in Zhao Chen'an's eyes. He felt that his senior brother seemed different from before. In the past, his senior brother would be shy and run away when faced with this situation, but now he exuded an aggressive possessiveness.
"What's wrong? Didn't you ask me to stay?" Qin Beixuan leaned over and whispered in Zhao Chen'an's ear in a low, pleasant voice, "Scared?"
Facing such Qin Beixuan, Zhao Chen'an's legs went weak. His heart was pounding, and he even forgot how to speak.
Seeing that he had scared the boy silly, Qin Beixuan quickly let him go and thoughtfully tidied up Zhao Chen'an's front. "I won't tease you anymore. I'll go back to sleep. You should go to bed early too."
Zhao Chen'an: "......"
Damn you, Qin Beixuan! You start the fire but don't put it out! Just wait until I get a chance. I'll pay you back double!!
