359: Shocking! The three sects are actually...

"Senior Brother, you seem so different from before now."

Shi Suiyan followed closely behind Zhou Yan. Just a moment ago, Zhou Yan showed off a little, and Shi Suiyan suddenly realized the change in him, discovering that Zhou Yan seemed to have gained some exhaustion, some composure, and some wisdom of an Elder.

To this, Zhou Yan just slightly raised his head and said with a lost expression,

"Perhaps this is the price of growth. Sometimes, knowing too much makes one a bit tired."

This was a lie!

Zhou Yan, who possessed a pure Dao Heart, would not change easily.

The reason he was like this was simply because his old habit had flared up again—whenever he got something new, he couldn't help but play with it.

Just like when he first got the timetable, after Zhou Yan obtained the authentic Golden Eyes of Delusion Breaking, he hummed the Monkey King's BGM to himself, looking around as he walked, wishing he could see through the past and present of even the ants passing by.

And this was not without cost.

After realizing all this, Zhou Yan felt drained, as if he had been cramming for exams for several days.

That was why Zhou Yan appeared world-weary.

But he didn't think this was a bad thing; being knowledgeable and world-weary actually felt cool, which allowed Zhou Yan to directly activate his "Jiahao" mode.

Simply put, he was just using this exhaustion to act cool.

However, Shi Suiyan didn't see through it; she was completely bluffed by Zhou Yan's Golden Eyes of Delusion Breaking at this moment.

Shi Suiyan just felt that there was nothing "acting" about it; she felt it was very sacred.

Zhou Yan took the opportunity to look at the pairs of eyes in the sky, which could be considered experiencing the perspective of the Monkey King from Journey to the West, and now he understood why the Monkey King could always tell at a glance whether there was any Demonic Qi.

After all, with so many "eyes" staring from the sky, no matter how you looked at it, this wasn't a good place.

However, the manifestation was similar; did that also mean these people were all powerful beings on the same level as the Fourth Elder?

Zhou Yan counted, and there were at least sixteen people staring at this world.

Except for the Fourth Elder, he didn't recognize a single one.

There were also a few that didn't look like humans at all, and one of them showed an aura similar to his when in Dragon Transformation, which must be the Dragon Clan powerful being that Lan Xiaoxiao mentioned just now.

Although the consumption was a bit high, these eyes were truly fun for Zhou Yan to play with, and they were much better than the unreliable System most of the time.

Not to mention anything else, even when facing Schrödinger, he wouldn't be unable to see anything, only seeing a string of upside-down question marks.

"Brother Zhou!"

Just as Zhou Yan was thinking, a female voice suddenly rang out, and then a figure lunged at Zhou Yan, grabbing his thigh.

Shi Suiyan, who had been thinking, bared her teeth at this and grabbed the other person's collar, wanting to pull her away.

"What is wrong with you woman! Let go of my Senior Brother!"

Zhou Yan could see clearly now that the person who arrived was Xuanyuan Qingyao.

If it were in the past, Zhou Yan would have easily dodged, but he was still keeping his Divine Ability active, scanning wildly. He immediately scanned Xuanyuan Qingyao's scorching power, which was equivalent to eating a flashbang, and was instantly dazed, which allowed her to succeed.

"Brother Zhou, it really is you."

"I was wondering why Nickname reacted so suddenly."

Bai Ling also appeared in front of Zhou Yan, and the power he contained flashed Zhou Yan once again.

At this, Zhou Yan behaved himself and hurriedly turned off his Divine Ability, which prevented him from continuing to suffer damage.

Damn!

Why does this Divine Ability have this drawback?

Zhou Yan had used this Divine Ability before to look at those weaker than him, and those much stronger than him, but he hadn't really looked at anyone of similar strength.

The weak ones went without saying, he just looked; the strong ones could only be seen vaguely, not clearly.

But for those of similar strength, he really wasn't used to it at first glance.

At this time, Bai Ling looked at the dazed Zhou Yan, Xuanyuan Qingyao who wouldn't let go of Zhou Yan's thigh, and Shi Suiyan who was tugging at Xuanyuan Qingyao with a protective expression, feeling a burst of awkwardness in his heart.

It's over, why is no one answering me?

Is this a Shura field that I shouldn't be participating in? So awkward, should I leave?

"Fellow Daoist Bai, you came at just the right time."

Just as Bai Ling was trapped in awkwardness, Zhou Yan finally recovered and waved at Bai Ling, though his face didn't look too good.

But Bai Ling had no time to consider this; he just wanted to not be so awkward. Since the opportunity had come, he went up accordingly.

"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yan fell straight towards him, and Bai Ling subconsciously caught Zhou Yan.

After he reacted, he discovered that the two women who were still pulling at each other just now all had their gazes focused on him.

And the group of Prodigies on the giant tree who were originally bored to death, seeing the actions of Bai Ling and the other, also came down one after another to see what was happening.

Then they saw the famous Immortal Master Lingming holding the delicate-looking True Person Yunshu in his arms, with the expressionless Nickname, whose eyes were fixed on Zhou Yan, next to them, as well as the unknown female cultivator glaring at Bai Ling.

The most critical thing was that they were all still maintaining the posture of having their arms open, looking like they all wanted to embrace True Person Yunshu.

This is bad!

Did we accidentally stumble into some emotional drama?

A love quadrangle? A romance of the dragon-yang?

Are we going to be silenced for just eating a melon?

There were quite a few people here who knew that a bunch of powerful beings were watching from above.

If there were some frictions usually, it would at most count as a conflict between juniors, and even under the bizarre System of the Liyan Holy Land, killing their Saintess would count as a conflict between juniors.

But this was a tragic love plot, which would affect the reputation of the Three Sects, and that would be troublesome.

The awkwardness that was originally only Bai Ling's now spread to the whole scene. And Bai Ling, who was at the center of the incident, felt like he could dig out a Butian Pavilion with his toes.

Brother Zhou, you and I have no grievances, why do you want to ruin my reputation!

Zhou Yan didn't know that he was just a bit dizzy from being flashed twice and couldn't stand steadily, which was why he wanted Bai Ling to support him, but this action created so much gossip.

And at this moment, the blow received by Lan Xiaoxiao, who was tearful in the corner, was the greatest.

She was originally annoyed at not being able to sell membership cards, but now she found that the customer she just had was actually the Sect Master Saint, Zhou Yan himself.

Now that she had slandered the other party in front of the person himself, she would definitely not have a chance to see him again in the future, and might even be hunted down by the other party's fanatical fans.

But what made her even more desperate was that the Prodigy she admired most, Immortal Master Lingming, was actually embracing the other party in such a state.

Although she didn't think that someone as holy as Bai Ling would have a scandal, she was a person from the Pu Tian Pavilion, and her professional ethics told her that this must be recorded, and then heavily modified; not only must it be made eye-catching, it must also be vulgar enough.

This was no less than personally making her idol fall from grace.

Therefore, whether it was seeing this scene that was prone to ambiguity, or actively making this ambiguity a reality, it was a torture for her.

She recorded all this like an incompetent wife, crying and telling herself that this might just be a coincidence, not real, while using her professional instinct to frantically record and make up wild history.

Just like that, after this, an article titled "Shocking!!! The Saint and Saintess of the Three Sects are actually in this kind of relationship...", appeared in the public eye, and the Pu Tian Pavilion also earned a lot of popularity and Spirit Stones because of it.

In the past, it was not that no one arranged the Three Sects, but due to deterrence, generally no one read it, and they couldn't write too excessively; after all, the benefits and consequences were not proportional.

But this time, with traffic, it naturally became a hot cake. For a time, love-hate relationships and various wild histories about the Saint and Saintess of the Three Sects, and even the Elders of the Three Sects, sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

It was just that apart from the spread about the Saint and Saintess of the Three Sects being relatively normal, most of the rest about the Elders were banned.

The official reason was deliberate smearing, causing adverse effects. But in fact, some wild histories were actually guessed correctly by them, which was why someone got anxious and specially deleted those things.

As for who exactly did it, it was impossible to verify.

Based on the principle that the more you explain, the messier it gets, after Bai Ling supported Zhou Yan and flew onto the giant tree, no one mentioned the previous matter again, as if nothing had happened.

As for what they were thinking, only they knew.

And as one of the parties involved, Zhou Yan was chatting with them without knowing anything, obviously having recovered from the previous state.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, since you are here too, you should quickly go and persuade your Junior Brother."

"Once he is persuaded, we will have more confidence when we go to the Secret Realm together."

"Otherwise, letting him go alone and taking all the treasures away, it wouldn't be easy for us to take action, it would be better to go together, and then distribute them separately later."

As if remembering something, Bai Ling quietly sent a Sound Transmission to Zhou Yan, and pointed to the location of Long Tianxing.

Zhou Yan then discovered that Long Tianxing was sitting at the very edge of the giant tree platform in a flashy posture, looking world-weary, with a strand of white hair hanging down from his forehead, looking like he had lost his whole family.

What's wrong with this guy again?

Could it be that because he looked good, he gave himself to Schrödinger and became a Cauldron for the other party, so he was able to escape?

And that white hair was the manifestation of being drained while being a Cauldron?

"Achoo."

At this moment, under a crabapple tree, a black cat sneezed.
