Being knocked down by the Heavenly Dao while ascending

Fang Qing was too lazy to complain about this method. It can be summed up in four words: "breakthrough one by one". It is not that they break through others, but that they give others the opportunity to break through them.

Therefore, the strongest fighting forces always have to be separated. As for her, she is naturally not worthy of being a fighting force, so Pei Mingyan asked her to go out with Mei Shuyu.
Since Mei Shuyu is a perverted brother-con, there is no need to elaborate on how difficult this process is.
Finally, they went out reluctantly, but they just went out.
Just after leaving the inn, Mei Shuyu refused to leave. He just stood at the door of the inn. If you didn't know, you would think he was the doorman.

Fang Qing had no choice but to stand in front of him with his hands on his hips, staring at him without blinking, trying to make him change his mind.

However, Mei Shuyu was as determined as if he had been weighed down by a weight. He didn't even blink and just stood there without moving or changing his expression.

Fang Qing sighed and shook his head, looking to the side, and found a stall selling herbal tea next to the arch bridge less than 20 meters away from the inn.
She said to Mei Shuyu kindly, "I know you are worried about the safety of our master. But if you stay here, what if the other party originally planned to send someone over and saw that the three of us did not separate and went back? You will make our master 'make a mistake'."

Mei Shuyu's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Fang Qing was filled with emotion. She had also heard from her master about Mei Shuyu's situation. She didn't know whether this man's current behavior reflected his true inner thoughts or was just paranoia caused by mental suggestion in his childhood.
"Forget it, I won't force you." Fang Qing stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder, then took it back. "Then you watch here, I'll go to the stall over there to drink some herbal tea, and we'll wait slowly."

After saying that, she sat down at the small square table and ordered a pot of cold tea. Mei Shuyu came over at some point, although she didn't sit down.
Fang Qing poured him a bowl of cold tea, but didn't bother to pay attention to him. He ordered two plates of peanuts from the stall next to him and started putting them into his mouth.

On the other side, Pei Mingyan stood in front of the window and observed for a long time, feeling at a loss whether to laugh or cry at the two people "playing" outside the window.
Mei Shuyu stood alone. The stall owner whispered in front of him, as if persuading him to sit down. But Shuyu looked stern and serious, and it seemed as if he was about to kill someone in the next second.
The stall owner was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He went back and forth between Fang Qing at the stall and the fierce man standing there, but in the end, all his work was in vain. He felt sorry for the customers who dared not to come in again, and hurriedly served herbal tea to the few remaining customers at the stall.
Pei Mingyan couldn't help laughing, and took out a golden bean from his waist belt. With a flick of his finger, the golden bean fell steadily into the hand of the stall owner who was scooping herbal tea.
The stall owner was surprised and looked around, and saw that the "evil spirit" who was originally standing next to the stall withdrew his gaze from the inn and sat down next to the girl who ordered peanuts.
The girl even winked at him. The stall owner's face turned red with embarrassment and he carefully placed the golden beans close to his body.
This money is enough for his family's living expenses for a year. The few customers who were just delayed by this evil spirit are nothing.

Pei Mingyan returned from the window, his smile gradually fading.
In recent years, he moved to Juwu in the middle of the mountain, and his time with his younger brother became less and less frequent. Neither his father nor the little kid mentioned Mei Shuyu much, so he didn't think much of it. Now it seems that if he stays with him or gets along with him for a long time, Mei Shuyu will lose himself.
Mei Shuyu is not only related to himself, the black energy on his body is also a huge threat. Other things can be put aside, and the issue of Mei Shuyu must be resolved first.

Thinking of this, he no longer waited for the "guest" who had not shown up yet, but went back to the table and sat down first. He asked the waiter to bring fresh food, and brewed tea himself, using the tea brought by the Mei family.
Having not contacted Xue Qingyu for a few days, Pei Mingyan tentatively called out to his sea of ​​consciousness: "Dean Xue? Do you have time to chat?"

In his sea of ​​consciousness, something appeared like a mirage. Before Pei Mingyan could figure out what it was, a figure appeared.
It was Xue Qingyu.

Unfortunately, this person's appearance is always so unique. As soon as he appeared, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which spilled on the "ground" without soil in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Pei Mingyan glanced at him, confirmed that he would be fine for the time being, and said to him: "Hey, you are not right? There is no soil in my sea of ​​consciousness that needs nourishment. You don't have to give me the same gift every time you come."

Xue Qingyu wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, "I still gained something from this injury, it's not a loss."

Pei Mingyan glanced at the corner of his sleeve and wanted to say something like "You are such a clean person, old man" but when he saw that there was no blood on his sleeve, he had to swallow his complaint.
"What do you mean?" he asked.

Xue Qingyu couldn't help but smile when he saw where his eyes were directed. "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Master Mei. I came here in a hurry and forgot to bring my handkerchief." He paused, "You don't have to worry about Xiaokong anymore."

Pei Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief, but then realized that this statement could be interpreted in many different ways. He confirmed, "Which one does not need to be worried about?"

Sensing his doubts, Xue Qingyu said, "Xiao Kong is Xiao Kong, but besides me, it turns out that the master has other people who are good at mind control. In other words, I just simply erase the memory and hardly interfere with people's behavior, but they control people's words and deeds."

"What you mean is..." Pei Mingyan thought of Mei Shuyu. Mei Shuyu's behavior...maybe this is exactly the case.

Xue Qingyu nodded, "Xiao Kong, and the person you asked me about last time, may have the same symptoms."

"How is Xiaokong now?" Pei Mingyan asked.

Xue Qingyu shook his head. "It's not a big deal. The solution is actually very simple." He glanced at Pei Mingyan, knowing that the other party did not completely trust him. "I told you last time that as long as I invade his sea of ​​consciousness, I can remove his control over him. After that, I will withdraw my magic and he will be able to return to normal, but... you don't trust me."

"Sorry, Shuyu's situation is a bit complicated, and I can't let him take too many risks." Pei Mingyan knew that this was an excellent method, but Mei Shuyu had black energy on him, and no one knew why this black energy gathered on him and where it would go after leaving.

Xue Qingyu insisted, "Even if you can find other methods, the risks will definitely not be smaller, and I don't know how much time and energy it will take. If the Mei family's words of destiny are true, your biggest enemy is yourself, and you don't have much time."

"Master Xue, I'm sorry but I still have to say that your eagerness always makes me feel that you have ulterior motives."
Pei Mingyan certainly knew about it, but he couldn’t let more people know about the black energy for the time being. After all, at the moment, no one knew who the real “interested person” was.

Xue Qingyu was not afraid of his suspicion. "We are partners. I must ensure that you spend more of the rest of your time on the master's matter."

Pei Mingyan pondered for a long time, "I can promise you. But you must promise not to tell anyone what you saw, no matter what it was."

Xue Qingyu paused and said, "I promise you."
Dean Xue finally stopped trying to hold on. He sat down on the ground and said, "Borrow the land to recuperate for a while." Pei Mingyan didn't care. "As you wish. By the way, I will tell him the truth about Shu Yu and respect his decision. At the same time, you should think carefully about it. This matter is not without risks for you."

Xue Qingyu replied after a while, "Okay."

The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the trip to Xuantianmen. Xue Qingyu didn't choose to say it directly, probably because he was worried that the soul communication would be interrupted. Pei Mingyan naturally understood, so he didn't ask.

At the herbal tea stall.
Fang Qing looked at the two empty plates and burped. She drank a bowl of cold tea and asked, "I remember that besides you, the master also has a younger brother. Why didn't the master ask him to come along? Does the master favor you more?"
The more she called him "Master", the more comfortable she became.

Mei Shuyu was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Fang Qing thought about it for a while, and said to the herbal tea shop owner, "Boss, please go and order all the famous food in your small town for me... Order ten servings and have them delivered to me."

The stall owner wiped his sweat and said, "This... is so much. I don't have money. People won't give it to me."

Fang Qing nodded, rummaged through his pockets, and finally pulled out a few ingots of gold, which weighed several kilograms. "Yes, all of them, ten portions! It's okay if there are more, just ask them to send them all here. The money should be enough, right? If not, ask them to deliver them and I'll pay after that."

The stall owner was so excited that he held the gold in his shaking hands and said, "Enough, enough, enough. I'll go right away."

"Wait a moment." Fang Qing took out another gold bracelet, "Help me keep an eye on them. When all the items are delivered, I will help you keep an eye on your stall. This bracelet will be your reward for your trouble."

The stall owner thanked him repeatedly, put the bracelet away, and left in a hurry.

Fang Qing touched the bracelet he had been wearing on his hand, hiding the small tea stall, and finally said to Mei Shuyu, "Actually, this is why Master asked me to bring you out."

Sure enough, Mei Shuyu moved his head.

Fang Qingming knew how to talk to him, that is - focus on Pei Mingyan. Whether this focus is praising Pei Mingyan, making Pei Mingyan more awesome, or what Pei Mingyan wants to do, it will attract his attention.
As for things that normal people care about, such as what she just said that Pei Mingyan favors him, a normal brother-con would definitely be very happy, but this person did not react.

Therefore, it would only attract his attention if the matter itself was of great importance to Pei Mingyan.
According to Pei Mingyan, this influence is not permanent, it has a duration. If a person does not come into contact with Pei Mingyan or anything related to him for a long time, he will gradually return to normal.
But if the time is too long, there will be a backlash when they meet again, just like his current paranoia towards Pei Mingyan.

Mei Shuyu gave Fang Qing a questioning look.

Fang Qing didn't keep the secret any longer, but asked, "I remember that Master has a younger brother, right?"

Mei Shuyu didn't understand, but nodded.

His cooperation made Fang Qing breathe a sigh of relief. "That's the problem. Master and you are not biological brothers, nor are we related by blood, and he has never saved your life. What makes you so persistent?"

Mei Shuyu said nothing.

Fang Qing didn't give up, "Do you care about family affection? Or just your elder brother?"

Mei Shuyu frowned.

Fang Qing took a deep breath, "Or let me ask it another way. Have you ever thought about why you care so much about your elder brother?"

"What... do you mean?" Mei Shuyu asked.

Fang Qing was ready to run away, "You are sick. Very sick."
