Chapter 1000 Trouble is coming

Today, the main hall of Qinjian Villa is different from the past. It is majestic and magnificent. Both sides of the hall door are decorated with lights and red carpets, showing solemnity and festivity.

Bi Yao stopped, adjusted her manners, and then spoke to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you have a special status after all. After entering the main hall, you just need to follow behind me and don't walk around or talk casually."

"After the ceremony begins, I will remind you to present the Ice Heart Pearl at the appropriate time."

"Junior brother, please save it."

Zhou Yiqiao lowered his head slightly and answered respectfully.

He was wearing a blue shirt. Although it had no fancy decorations, he looked decent and had a kind of elegance.

He knew very well that this birthday was of great significance, as it not only concerned his own life and death, but also the future of the entire Netherworld Demon Sect.

Therefore, he did not dare to be careless at all.

After the seven swordsmen retreated, the two of them walked into the main hall together.

The elders and core disciples from various holy sects had gathered in the hall. Some were talking in low voices, while others were toasting to celebrate. The atmosphere was very lively.

The arrival of Bi Yao and Zhou Yi Qiao immediately caused a slight commotion.

"Isn't that Fairy Bi Yao? Who is the man behind her?"

"I don't know. The one who is so close to Fairy Bi Yao is Fairy Bi Yao's Taoist partner, or is he Elder Qing Mu's new disciple?"

The discussions around him kept reaching Zhou Yiqiao's ears, but he didn't care.

His eyes were always following Bi Yao, fearing that he had taken the wrong path.

Under the gaze of everyone, Bi Yao took Zhou Yiqiao and walked straight behind the elder who was chatting enthusiastically with others.

This person was none other than Elder Qingmu who had accepted Zhou Yiqiao as his disciple.

"I've met Master."

Biyao bowed respectfully.

Although she was usually willful and capricious and often looked down upon Elder Qingmu, she knew her limits and behaved with utmost respect in such a solemn occasion.

Elder Qingmu turned around upon hearing this, and when he looked at Bi Yao, his gaze couldn't help but linger on Zhou Yiqiao behind her.

Zhou Yiqiao could feel the dissatisfaction and heartache in the old man's scrutinizing gaze.

"It seems that Senior Sister Bi Yao really wasn't kidding. She really did trick the Ice Heart Pearl from Elder Qing Mu."

Zhou Yiqiao thought with a helpless smile.

"Baguio, who is this?"

After greeting Bi Yao, the elders who were talking with Elder Qingmu also focused their attention on Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao always kept Bi Yao's instructions in mind and did not introduce himself without permission.

He bowed his head slightly to show respect and waited for Biyao's response.

Bi Yao smiled slightly, with a sly glint in her eyes.

"My dear grandfathers, this is the little brother I just accepted, his name is Zhou Yiqiao."

"Although he is not a disciple of my Qinjian Villa, he has excellent talent and can be considered as half of my master's direct disciple."

"The eldest lady's birthday is a rare event in the Tianchen Realm, so I will naturally take him to see it."

After Bi Yao finished speaking, many people around her who didn't understand what was going on were stunned.

"When did Fairy Bi Yao accept a younger brother?"

"Who is this young man? How could he catch the eye of Elder Qingmu and be accepted as a disciple by Fairy Biyao?"

Everyone was whispering, looking at Zhou Yiqiao, trying to find some clues.

However, Zhou Yiqiao seemed to be keeping out of the matter and still maintained a respectful attitude without any abnormality.

Elder Qingmu looked at Zhou Yiqiao, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

He naturally knew why Bi Yao deliberately concealed Zhou Yiqiao's true identity, but the Bing Xin Pearl had already been tricked by Bi Yao into Zhou Yiqiao's hands, so he could only go along with Bi Yao's words.

"Yes, this kid has great talent and is very experienced in combat. I admire him a lot."

Elder Qingmu said calmly. Although there was a hint of helplessness in his words, he still tried his best to maintain a calm attitude.

After hearing Elder Qingmu's praise, the elders and disciples from various sects around him became even more interested in Zhou Yiqiao.

You must know that Elder Qingmu has only had Bi Yao as his personal disciple, and no one else has been able to catch his eye.

Now, he actually admires Zhou Yiqiao so much, how can they not be curious?

"Senior Sister Biyao, I think your introduction to this boy is not complete, right?"

Just at this moment, a harsh voice suddenly rang out, breaking the harmonious atmosphere here.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes and holding a folding fan slowly walking towards them.

There was a bit of disdain and provocation on his face, and his eyes were staring straight at Zhou Yiqiao.

Seeing the newcomer, not only Bi Yao, but even Zhou Yi Qiao frowned slightly.

This person was none other than Lu Jinfan, who had had an argument with Zhou Yiqiao in Qianmu Realm.

"Lu Jinfan, the main hall is so big, why are you here instead of staying by your master's side?"

Biyao frowned, her tone revealing displeasure.

What she said was not wrong. Those who could enter the main hall were either elders of the major holy sects or direct disciples of noble status.

If Lu Jinfan rushed in so recklessly and bumped into some important person, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, Lu Jinfan didn't care about it at all.

He gently waved the folding fan in his hand, his eyes full of provocation.

"Senior Sister Bi Yao, I heard that you brought the Netherworld Demon Sect's proton to attend the eldest lady's birthday ceremony. I was curious and came here to take a look."

He turned his gaze to Zhou Yiqiao, a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Is this the Proton of the Netherworld Demon Sect? He doesn't look that impressive. I thought he was some great figure."

As soon as Lu Jinfan finished speaking, a burst of discussion arose around him.

"The proton of the Netherworld Demon Sect?"

"I did hear that there seemed to be some friction between the Netherworld Demon Sect and Qinjian Villa. In order to ease the relationship between the two sects, the Netherworld Demon Sect sent a hostage. It turned out to be this person."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard these discussions, although he was calm in his heart, a bit of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He is not afraid of the scrutiny of others.

Instead, he was fully aware that as a hostage of the Netherworld Demon Sect, his situation in Qinjian Villa was already delicate and complicated.

Now, Lu Jinfan has revealed his identity in public again, which has undoubtedly pushed him to the forefront and made him the focus of everyone's attention.

This time, not only Bi Yao had an unhappy look on her face, but even Elder Qingmu beside her also had a frown on his face, looking unhappy.

He had just followed Bi Yao's words and acknowledged Zhou Yiqiao's identity, but now Lu Jinfan was undermining him in public, directly refusing to give him, an elder, face.

"Jinfan boy, you're going too far."

Elder Aoki's voice was low and majestic, with a certain severity that could not be questioned.

However, just as Elder Qingmu finished speaking, another old voice sounded from the side, attracting more attention.

"Jinfan is telling the truth, what's wrong with that?"
