Chapter 64 Unable to feel the pulse
Someone once said:

This world begins after I am born and ends before I die.

The sun and the moon move, and the stars rotate.

Xu Zhiqiu couldn't tell how long he had been "dead".

Objectively it should be seven days, but subjectively it feels as long as a century.

In the state of half-awake and half-awake,
It seems like someone is talking in my ear——

"The headmaster's body was found at another place on the river bank. Judging from the injuries... it looks like he was beaten to death."

"Although the news has been blocked, some people in the sect are already discussing it secretly. Several important sects in the Holy Church have also sent envoys to inquire about the situation in the past few days, but I have dealt with them for the time being."

"In this battle, nearly half of our Hehuan inner sect and true disciples were killed, and three elders were killed. It can be said that our vitality was greatly damaged. More importantly, even the head of the sect was..."

"Since there is such a great hatred, why don't we tear him into pieces and grind his bones into ashes!"

"No, the Holy Fire and the Purple Blade are both in his body and are deeply bound to him. They cannot be taken out for the time being."

"Why not kill the goose that lays the eggs!?"

"If that happens, the holy fire will burn, and the jade and the stone will be burned together."

"Besides, there seems to be a treasure on the elixir point between his eyebrows that has a close connection with my Hehuan. If my guess is correct, it should be related to Grandmaster Jin Ling..."

"He is one of the three most precious treasures of Hehuan, but I cannot kill him! Is this young man really the nemesis of Hehuan?"

"Now the people in the sect are in turmoil, waiting for us to give an explanation. If we continue like this, I'm afraid..."

A familiar voice answered with unquestionable weight:
"Put this matter on hold for now. Let me think about it and then announce it."

"Senior Sister Xu! You are the most powerful one in the sect now. The sect cannot be without a leader for a day. Please take over the position immediately to calm people's hearts!"

"I'll have to think about this for a while longer."

…………

In the blink of an eye, another three or five days passed.

Hehuan Miaoyuan, in the No. 1 courtyard of Tianzi.

After going around in circles, we are back to the beginning.

Xu Zhiqiu had nothing to do, so he teased the tiger in the yard and stroked its silly head.

Since waking up, I have never neglected my three meals.

Like serving a master.

Hehuan's abnormality left Xu Zhiqiu confused.

The injuries have not yet healed because several restrictions have been placed on the body, making it impossible to reverse the fate.

In the lower dantian, where the holy fire of Hehuan is located, there is an additional object.

It was exactly the purple blade of San Miao.

Xu Zhiqiu was also confused by this and had no idea how this thing got into his stomach.

At noon,

He was allowed to sit cross-legged in the courtyard to move his Qi and blood and shake the restrictions in his body.

Xu Miaowa arrived quietly.

"Don't waste your energy. There are several of these Dragon Locks stacked on your body. Even a great immortal would have to surrender. As for your White Hair Magical Power, don't even think about using it."

Xu Zhiqiu glanced at her disdainfully.
"I thought you Hehuan people were just inhumane, but I didn't expect you don't even have blood."

With undisguised sarcasm,
"I killed San Miao, but instead of seeking revenge, you treated me to delicious food and drinks. What? Do you want me to be your godfather?"

If Yuning'er or Sanmiao said this, they would definitely be furious.

But Xu Miaowa is a weirdo.

His face remained calm.
"Thanks to you, I am now acting as the head of the sect."

Xu Zhiqiu laughed.
"Oh, so I am still your benefactor?"

Xu Miaowa did not deny it, but then said something shocking:
"I have already made it clear to everyone in the sect: the death of the Sanmiao Sect leader was caused by Shuiyue of Qingyun Sect. It has nothing to do with you."

Xu Zhiqiu frowned, suddenly wondering what Xu Miaowa was up to.

"Why are you covering up for me?" "Because you are more important than the truth."

Ignoring Xu Zhiqiu's strange look, Xu Miaowa continued to talk:

"You carry the three great treasures of Hehuan in your body. If you die, everything will be lost. We cannot afford this loss."

"And in order to remove the treasure from your body, I need your cooperation."

"We also know your temper. Torture and intimidation will not work on you. It is better to come straight to the point and make a gentleman's agreement with you."

"Oh, a gentleman's agreement..."

Xu Zhiqiu did not hide his disdain on his face.
"Why go through all that beating around the bush? Just be straightforward. If you stab me three times, I'll stab you three times."

"The stakes of this agreement are enough to tempt you."

"The thing that moves me most is that you are all dead."

"I ask you not to bring your emotions."

"I ask you not to think too highly of yourself!"

Xu Zhiqiu suddenly raised the volume.

"I don't think I'm so pedantic that I don't know how to adapt, but I'm not so mean as to give up my bottom line."

He stared at Xu Miaowa, his tone as unshakable as an iceberg:

"We have different paths, so we cannot make plans together."

Xu Miaowa finally showed some annoyance on her face.

"Are you sure we won't kill you?"

"Either do it or get out."

Xu Zhiqiu acted like a bachelor, so he ordered her to leave.

Suddenly I remembered something and added:
"Oh, by the way, I'm going to have a vegetarian dinner tonight, so remember to inform the kitchen to change the menu."

"..."

Xu Miaowa looked at him deeply, but did not get angry. Instead, she nodded.
"it is good."

"..."

Xu Miaowa went out.

After she left, Xu Zhiqiu couldn't help but fall into a brainstorm and couldn't extricate himself.

"This woman...why can't I feel her pulse?"

…………

Two senior members of Hehuan were guarding outside the courtyard. When they saw Xu Miaowa coming out, one of them looked a little unhappy.

"Acting Sect Leader, why do you treat him like this... like this..."

"So weak?"

"This...I dare not."

"To be honest, I have devoted myself to cultivation and have no intention of becoming the sect leader. However, the sect is in danger right now, so I had no choice but to take on this responsibility."

Xu Miaowa sighed, hiding the tiredness in her eyes.
"This is a time of great trouble. The other three great clans of the Holy Church are watching us day and night, eyeing us covetously. At this point, if we continue to cling to our old ways and refuse to change, we will eventually be destroyed."

Hearing this, the two subordinates looked at each other with complicated expressions.

"But will he agree? If he refuses to do so, then we..."

Xu Miaowa pondered for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer: "Probably."

The two were silent for a moment.
Until another person asked a side question:
"Because the Holy Fire has been missing for a long time, the furnaces in Miao Garden cannot be used to forge medicine. However, the daily consumption of medicinal materials is not a small amount. In order to avoid waste... please tell the master whether to send those furnaces to Yu Garden for the disciples to collect?"

"No, let them all go."

"What?" The subordinate even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Xu Miaowa can repeat:

"Let him go. Change will start someday, starting today."
