Chapter 787 Happy Daily Life, Groundless Accusations

The appearance of Zhao Wuji was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the hopes in Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong's hearts. Everything happened too fast, and before they had time to react, they were surrounded by Black Demon Cult disciples.

"Zhao Wuji, you dare to collude with the demon sect, aren't you afraid of the ridicule of the world?!" Ye Linglong angrily scolded, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the cold light was threatening.

"Successful king or defeated bandit, as long as I can get what I want, why should I fear what the world will say?" Zhao Wuji sneered, "Today, you cannot fly with your wings!"

A fierce battle was about to break out, but at this moment, a crisp voice broke the tense atmosphere.

"Brother, stop it!" Zhao Ling'er ran out from the crowd and stood in front of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, "Don't make any more mistakes!"

"Ling'er, you" Zhao Wuji's expression changed, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"Brother, it's time to turn around and stop being stubborn!" Zhao Ling'er begged with tears streaming down her face.

Looking at his sister's sincere eyes, Zhao Wuji was shaken for a moment, but was soon swallowed up by hatred and ambition. He pushed Zhao Ling'er away and said coldly: "I have come this far and there is no way I can look back!"

After that, he ignored Zhao Ling'er and attacked Gu Jiuchen with his sword. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were well prepared, and they joined forces to fight. For a moment, swords flashed, and air waves rolled.

After the fierce battle, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong decided to avoid his edge first and led Zhao Ling'er to fight and retreat. The three of them fled all the way to the top of Tianxian Peak, but there was no way to retreat.

"What should we do? We are surrounded!" Zhao Ling'er asked anxiously.

Gu Jiuchen looked around, frowning. He knew that it would be difficult to be kind today. In order to relax, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong decided to put aside their worries temporarily and enjoy a relaxing time. They invited Zhao Ling'er and Elder Li and held a small gathering inside the sect.

Ye Linglong cooked personally and prepared sumptuous dishes for everyone. The steamed fish meat is tender and fragrant; the roasted chicken is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which is mouth-watering; and there are also a variety of exquisite snacks that are dizzying. Gu Jiuchen was helping from the side, and the two of them cooperated tacitly, smiling at each other from time to time, and the sweet atmosphere made others envious.

"Linglong's craftsmanship is really getting better and better. This fish is even more delicious than the imperial chef!" Elder Li praised while tasting the food.

"Elder Li has given me the reward, but it's just some home-cooked food." Ye Linglong said modestly.

"The dishes made by my wife are the most delicious!" Zhao Ling'er didn't forget to praise Ye Linglong while enjoying the meal.

The laughter echoed in the room, diluting the tension and worries of the past.

Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong's busy figure, his eyes full of doting. He handed over a cup of hot tea and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, I should do all this for you." Ye Linglong took the tea cup and smiled sweetly, with gentleness in her eyes.

Elder Li looked at the immortal couple, stroked his beard, and nodded happily. Zhao Ling'er held her chin, her eyes shining with envy.

After drinking and eating, everyone moved to the courtyard and admired the stars in the night sky. The night breeze carries the fragrance of flowers, which is refreshing and refreshing.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong walked side by side under the moonlight, with their fingers intertwined, as if they were the only two left in the world.

"Do you still remember the first time we met?" Ye Linglong asked softly.

"Of course I remember. You were still a little girl at that time, following me all day long and calling me Brother Jiuchen." Gu Jiuchen recalled with a smile.

"Back then, you always bullied me and said I was your little follower." Ye Linglong said coquettishly, with a hint of sweetness in her tone.

"I am teasing you because I like you." Gu Jiuchen squeezed Ye Linglong's hand and said affectionately, "Linglong, thank you for always being by my side."

"Fool, do we still need to say thank you?" Ye Linglong gently leaned her head on Gu Jiuchen's shoulder, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

The moonlight fell on them, as if they were covered with a layer of silver gauze, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

From a distance, Zhao Ling'er watched this scene silently, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that her love for Gu Jiuchen was destined to be buried deep in her heart.

Elder Li stood in front of the study window, looking at the two people hugging each other in the distance, praying secretly in his heart, hoping that they could stay like this happily forever.

Zhao Ling'er looked at the backs of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong leaving together, with a hint of bitterness in her heart, but more of a blessing. She knew that what separated her from Gu Jiuchen was not only status, but also the emotions that were destined to be unresponsive. With a slight sigh, Zhao Ling'er turned and left. She had to practice hard to make herself stronger so that she could protect the people she wanted to protect in the future.

Elder Li sat alone in the study, flipping through ancient classics in his hands, frowning. Tianxian Sect seems calm and peaceful, but in fact there is an undercurrent. He was vaguely aware that a greater crisis was quietly approaching. "I hope I'm worrying too much," Elder Li murmured to himself, but his eyes were full of worry. He must make complete preparations to ensure that Tianxian Sect can survive this crisis safely.

In the dead of night, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong returned to the room. "Linglong, the moonlight is so beautiful today." Gu Jiuchen hugged Ye Linglong gently, his warm breath brushing her ears.

"Yeah, just like the night we first met." Ye Linglong snuggled into Gu Jiuchen's arms and closed her eyes happily.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and a letter appeared on the table out of thin air. There was no signature on the envelope, only a blood-red seal, revealing a strange atmosphere. Gu Jiuchen's heart trembled, he reached out to pick up the letter and slowly opened it.

There were only a few lines of words on the letter, but Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong's faces instantly became solemn. "Linglong, it seems that our peaceful days are coming to an end." Gu Jiuchen held Ye Linglong's hand tightly, and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes.

What exactly was written in the letter? What kind of challenge will be waiting for them?

On the letter, the handwriting that penetrated the back of the paper clearly read: "Ye Linglong colluded with the Black Demon Cult and intended to subvert the Tianxian Sect. Gu Jiuchen has been deceived!"

Gu Jiuchen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at the letter in his hand in disbelief. Ye Linglong also saw the content of the letter, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"This is impossible!" Gu Jiuchen looked up suddenly, and his eyes swept around fiercely, but he found that there was no one in the room, only the strange letter was lying quietly on the table, as if mocking their ignorance.

"Linglong, believe me, there must be something else behind this matter!" Gu Jiuchen held Ye Linglong's cold hands, trying to make her feel his determination.

Ye Linglong took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, "I believe you, we will definitely find out the truth!"

Gu Jiuchen nodded and put away the letter, "This matter cannot be made public, we will investigate secretly."

Zhao Wuji already had a grudge against Gu Jiuchen. After learning the content of this anonymous letter, he was secretly happy, as if he saw the hope of overthrowing Gu Jiuchen. He knew that a letter alone could not shake Gu Jiuchen's trust in Ye Linglong, so he began to spread rumors secretly, exaggerating the contents of the letter throughout the Tianxian Sect.

"Have you heard? Senior Sister Ye seems to be colluding with the Black Demon Cult!"

"No way? Senior Sister Ye looks so gentle and kind, how could she..."

"You can't tell a person's heart from his face! Who knows if she's just pretending?"

The disciples discussed privately, and the rumor spread rapidly like a plague. At first, most disciples doubted the contents of the letter, but as Zhao Wuji continued to fan the flames, and with some specious "evidence", more and more people began to waver.

Ye Linglong walked on the small road of the sect, and she clearly felt that the eyes of the disciples around her had changed. Those eyes of admiration and love in the past have now turned into suspicion, contempt, and even a hint of fear.

"Hello, Senior Sister Ye!"

"Hello, Senior Sister Ye!"

The disciples who once greeted her enthusiastically now only saluted from a distance, and then hurried away, as if she was some kind of flood beast.

Ye Linglong felt extremely wronged, but she had no way to defend herself. She knew that all this was maliciously slandered by someone behind her, and this person was probably Zhao Wuji!

Ye Linglong did not sit still and wait for death. She secretly investigated and tried to find the mastermind behind the rumor. She noticed that Zhao Wuji's recent whereabouts were strange. He often went out late at night, and every time he came back, he would show excitement that he could not hide, as if he had mastered some secret.

One night, Ye Linglong secretly followed Zhao Wuji and found that he was meeting with a man in black in a hidden cave. Although she could not see the face of the man in black, from the cold aura emanating from him, Ye Linglong could almost conclude that this person was the rumored Black Demon Cult Leader!
