Chapter 972 Leave it alone

"Oh?"

Elder Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, and an unfathomable cold light flashed in his eyes.

He ordered the giant python to walk slowly to Zhou Yiqiao's front and look down at him condescendingly.

"Zhou Yiqiao, are you really not afraid?"

Zhou Yiqiao met Elder Bai's gaze with a calm and composed expression, not at all timid.

"Since I joined Qinjian Villa, I have been keeping a low profile and doing my job properly. I have nothing to fear."

"hehe......"

Elder Bai suddenly raised the corners of his lips and laughed coldly.

Then, he waved his hand to disperse the spiritual mist around him, and gave instructions to several figures that could be vaguely seen outside the Dameng Swamp.

"Order Biyao from the Qingmu lineage to come to the Dameng Swamp immediately."

Then, Elder Bai seemed to remember something and threw out another token engraved with white words.

"If Qingmu tries to stop you, you can take out this token and say it was my instruction."

"Yes!"

The hook-nosed man took the order respectfully and led the others away quickly.

After they left, Elder Bai looked at Zhou Yiqiao again and asked.

"I'll give you one last chance. Are you sure you won't change your mind?"

"Junior is sure."

Zhou Yiqiao had an open expression and a sincere look.

Seeing him like this, Elder Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, when I was young and frivolous, I always thought I could break the shackles with my own efforts, but I didn't know that no matter how hard I struggled, I would only be trapped here and eventually become a stepping stone for others."

"I see that you have a very good character. You will definitely be able to embark on a path to immortality that belongs to you alone in the future. It's a pity that you have chosen the wrong path now..."

Elder Bai shook his head, feeling quite regretful.

Zhou Yiqiao remained silent and did not make any comments.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, until the hook-nosed man appeared outside the Dameng Swamp with Biyao.

Perhaps it was because she had finally left the courtyard where she was imprisoned, Biyao became very excited.

She was wearing a light blue dress, her skin was whiter than snow, her hair was as black as ink, and she had a pretty face. She was truly beautiful and charming.

Biyao seemed to be very familiar with the Dameng Swamp. After Hook-nosed Man and his group brought her closer to the Dameng Swamp, the girl immediately left the crowd and stepped into the swamp.

"Grandpa Bai, Yao'er is here! Grandpa Bai?"

Biyao's voice resounded through the sky and was particularly clear in the empty wilderness.

Zhou Yiqiao could see that after hearing Bi Yao's voice, Elder Bai showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Alas, this girl..."

Elder Bai murmured softly, as if he had a headache, but he still took a step and walked out of the fog in front of him.

As soon as he walked out of the fog, Bi Yao threw herself into his arms.

"Grandpa Bai, Yaoer misses you so much!"

After saying that, Bi Yao raised her head and looked up at Elder Bai with a flattering expression.

"When Yaoer heard that it was Grandpa Bai who summoned her, she dropped her practice without saying a word and followed them."

As Bi Yao spoke, she winked at Zhou Yiqiao who was behind Elder Bai, signaling Zhou Yiqiao to cooperate and not let anyone know.

Zhou Yiqiao understood and quickly stood up straight, bowing and speaking seriously.

"Greetings, Senior Sister. I have been wrongly accused. Senior Sister Bi, please help me!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Yao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

She tried her best to look angry and said indignantly.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. The entire Qingmu clan knows that I, Senior Sister, have always hated evil and will never tolerate any bad people!"

"I've heard about the trouble those tails have caused you. Junior brother, just tell me and I will definitely help you settle it!"

Listening to the two of them singing the same tune, Elder Bai's mouth twitched twice, and he couldn't help but feel a little amused.

"Yao'er, stop messing around. Do you know what this kid did?"

Elder Bai reached out and patted Bi Yao on the head, reprimanding her with a bit of dignity.

Bi Yao curled her lips and looked at Elder Bai with an innocent face.

"Grandpa Bai, what are you talking about? In Grandpa Bai's eyes, is Yao'er just a rude and unruly girl who doesn't know etiquette?"

Bi Yao broke free from Elder Bai's arms and pointed at the group of people with hooked nose outside the swamp with a look of grievance.

"Yao'er had already asked them clearly along the way. It's nothing more than the people in the villa who are pursuing Yao'er looking for trouble with Junior Brother Zhou."

"Since Junior Brother Zhou believes that he has done nothing wrong, why don't we find those guards who are pursuing Yao'er and confront them face to face to see what conspiracy these people have."

Elder Bai took a deep breath and felt a tightness in his chest.

As a senior member of Qinjian Villa, he knew that everything Zhou Yiqiao encountered was a frame-up by the sect's senior members. How could he find a cultivator of the same level as Zhou Yiqiao as Yu Biyao mentioned?

"Biyao, stop messing around!"

"Oh! Grandpa Bai, just promise Yaoer!"

"Anyway, this matter will be investigated sooner or later. A face-to-face confrontation will allow Bi Yao to see the true face of this person and completely give up the idea!"

Bi Yao was used to being unruly and was not afraid of Elder Bai at all. She pulled his sleeve and swayed him left and right.

Elder Bai glanced at Zhou Yiqiao who was standing beside him, his brows furrowed.

"Very good, you barely made it this time."

"But you have to know that Biyao can't always be effective. You have to remember to leave a way out for everything."

After saying this, Elder Bai jumped onto the giant python's head and disappeared into the Great Dream Swamp.

As for the so-called pursuer of Bi Yao mentioned by several people?

Naturally, since the matter was settled, he escaped being caught and used as a scapegoat.

Escorted by Hook Nose and his group, the two left Dameng Swamp and headed towards Biyao's courtyard.

Along the way, Bi Yao tried many times to escape from the team and leave Qinjian Villa, but was intercepted by Hooked Nose every time.

"Senior Sister Bi Yao, Elder Qing Mu gave us many warnings before we left. If you hadn't returned, Elder Qing Mu would have torn out our tendons and skinned us and refined us into magical instruments."

The hook-nosed man looked at Bi Yao ingratiatingly and said with a smile.

There was no trace of the brutality and cruelty he had shown when he arrested Zhou Yiqiao.

Bi Yao was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she had no choice but to return to the courtyard obediently surrounded by everyone.

After Hooked Nose and others left, Zhou Yiqiao was invited by Bi Yao to the third floor of the pavilion.

"During this period, every time I sent someone to challenge you, your monster subordinate refused on the grounds that he was in seclusion."

"Today, I heard that you had come out of retreat. I thought that you had improved your strength and could fight me properly. I didn't expect that you were invited by the people from the Law Enforcement Hall first."

Bi Yao ordered her servants to serve spiritual tea to Zhou Yiqiao, while she supported her chin with both hands and looked at him with a smile.

"I originally thought that what you said about your fearless behavior in the villa was just a joke, but today it seems that you were not lying."
