As the Universe Turns - Chapter 704
Chapter 704 Xiqi Cold Night
Ruoshui didn’t know how to answer the question. At this moment, He Chongtian and Xu Taichang walked up and said, “It must be those thieves who kidnapped Miss Ruoshui here just now.”
“No, it’s not …”
Ruoshui was about to explain something, but when he saw the two of them, he felt that it was useless to say more. He didn’t explain anymore and said, “Master told me and my senior brothers and sisters to come to Xi Qi to check for any changes, but a few days ago, I was separated from them …”
“I see …”
Abbess Xian Qing nodded slightly and placed the whisk on his shoulder. “A lot of people from Diabolism have also come to Siqi recently. Miss Ruoshui will be in danger if she walks alone. If she meets someone from Diabolism again, it will be bad. Come with us.”
“Yes!”
Ruoshui nodded and chuckled. He thought to himself, those four uncles and three old uncles should have already gone far away, but don’t ever meet them again. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to defeat Abbess Xian Qing and the others …
“Yes, let’s go.”
Abbess Xian Qing also nodded and smiled. Naturally, she did not know what the girl was thinking. In the past, Xiao Chen was naughty and everyone disliked him. However, Ruoshui was beautiful and cute, yet she was very likeable.
The group walked for more than 40 miles. It was already dark, and the mountain range in front of them seemed to be faintly discernible, revealing an endless mystery. Aunt Yi Zhi stopped and looked at the strange peak under the night sky. Ning Mei said, “It’s already dark. Should we enter the mountain now? Or should we wait until dawn tomorrow morning to enter?”
Abbess Xian Qing looked at the Siqi Mountains and pondered for a moment before saying, “Let’s go in at dawn. There are quite a few people from various sects in Diabolism to avoid being ambushed by them.” At this point, he turned to look at Liu Xuanyang and said, “What do you think of Liu Ergu’s idea?”
“Mm …”
Liu Xuanyang nodded slightly and looked at the mountain range under the curtain of night. “I agree with Madam Shi. The people in Diabolism are usually cunning and cunning. They seem to be calm and without any waves. There are most likely ambushes inside. It’s better to wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving, so that we can meet up with other fellow Daoists.”
After they discussed it, they went to a forest not far away. It had just rained, and the forest was very wet. Ruoshui found a clean place to sit down. He thought to himself, Martial Uncles, Martial Uncles, and Martial Uncles, do you really hate the people of Diabolism so much?
As for the people in Diabolism, were they really all like what they said, all of them great devils who killed without blinking an eye? But a few days ago in Qingping Town, those uncles clearly saw the unfairness in the road and helped the townsfolk get rid of the evil. They didn’t do anything bad, so why should they be said to be murderous devils without blinking an eye …
Perhaps the Righteous path isn’t full of good people, and Diabolism isn’t full of bad people. Is that so …
What about Senior Brother? What about that senior brother that I’ve never met before? Was it really the devil they were talking about …
Even though Master never mentioned that senior apprentice-brother ten years ago, or even when she was curious about it, Master’s expression would change instantly, but she could feel that the person in Master’s heart who valued him the most was not herself, but senior apprentice-brother …
The young girl held her hands and looked at the crescent moon in the sky. At this moment, no one knew what she was thinking. This time, she sneaked down the mountain to find her senior brother, whom she had never seen before. She traveled all over the place and finally found out that the senior brother was coming to the Xiqi Mountain Range. That was why she had come.
No matter what others said, this time, she wanted to see that senior brother. She did not believe that senior brother was really a great devil who killed people without blinking an eye.
If Senior Brother is really like those people said, then every time he mentioned Purple Night Peak, Master would definitely not reveal that kind of gaze. There was clearly a trace of debt and pain in that gaze …
Therefore, this time, no matter what, he had to find him and ask him about what had happened back then. At the very least, he would not let Master feel so sad. Even though Master had always kept these things in her heart and never told anyone about them.
“Ruoshui, are you hungry?”
Suddenly, Abbess Xian Qing handed over a piece of white cake. Even though her cultivation had reached their level and she no longer had to eat three meals a day like a mortal, the dangers of coming to the Xiqi Mountains were unknown. It was always good to bring some water and dry food with him.
“Ah …”
Ruoshui regained his senses and hurriedly waved his hand, “I’m not hungry, I’m not hungry. Thank you, Martial Uncle Xian Qing” As he spoke, he lowered his head and thought of what happened just now. Senior Brother, even if he found him, would he recognize him?
She still did not understand why Master would accept her as the nineteenth generation disciple of Purple Night Peak, even though Senior Brother was the eighteenth generation disciple. In this way, wouldn’t she be a bit inferior to Senior Brother? It was time to address Nichang and Senior Sister Fu Ling as Martial Uncle and Martial Uncle, not Senior Sister.
Could it be that after such a long time, in Master’s heart, there will always be only Senior Brother as a disciple … Thinking of this, the young girl couldn’t help but feel a little sad in her heart.
It was midnight when the cold wind blew and Leng Yue hung sideways. Suddenly, a strange movement came from afar. Everyone in the forest was refreshed. Abbess Xian Qing quickly took out a jade slip from his sleeve. The jade slip flickered endlessly and he ordered her to frown deeply.
“Senior Sister, what’s wrong?”
Immediately, Aunt Yi Zhi walked up and looked at the flickering jade note. Her brows furrowed deeply. Abbess Xian Qing said, “It’s Senior Brother and the others. I’m afraid they’ve encountered some trouble. Let’s go over immediately.” After saying that, he looked at Liu Xuanyang and said, “Second Valley Master Liu, I have something to do with Junior Sister. Let’s go first.”
Ruoshui also stood up from under the tree and asked, “Martial Uncle Xianqing, Martial Uncle Yizhi, what’s the matter?”
“Yes.”
Abbess Xian Qing nodded his head. At this moment, his expression was grave as he said to her, “Ruoshui, you are with the Second Valley Master Liu. Don’t go around randomly.”
“Ah, Martial Uncles, wait …”
If the sailors stretched out their hands, before they could stop, the two abbesses had already led their disciples away quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“The two abbesses left in such a hurry. It seems that something happened to Qinghong Sect.”
Liu Xuanyang looked in the direction where Xian Qing and Yi Zhi disappeared and said with concentration. Finally, he turned to Ruoshui and said, “Miss Ruoshui, you can rest assured and see if you can meet up with your Senior Brother and Senior Sister tomorrow.”
“Mm …”
Ruoshui managed to squeeze out a smile. She did not have a good impression of the people in Cangfeng Valley. She would rather go into the mountain alone than stay with them.
Just as he was thinking, Liu Xuanyang’s eyebrows suddenly narrowed and he said, “I also need to go to a place. He Chongtian, Xu Taichang, the two of you must protect Miss Ruoshui well.” With that, he instantly transformed into a streak of sword light and flew into the distance.
“Ah! Martial Uncle Liu, wait …”
Ruoshui stretched out his hand and shouted, but in the blink of an eye, Liu Xuanyang’s figure had disappeared.
“Haha, Miss Ruoshui, there’s no need to be afraid. I think those Demon Cult demons won’t dare to approach them …”
At this time, Xu Taichang and He Chongtian walked up to them. Seeing the two of them laughing, Ruoshui felt a numbness in his heart. He felt that these two people were wretched and even more terrifying than the demonic monster they were talking about.
