As the Universe Turns - Chapter 705
Chapter 705 Malicious
Ruoshui stuck out his tongue and could only echo, “Yes, there are two Martial Uncles here. I presume those villains wouldn’t dare to come over …” He said this, but he thought to himself, “Why do I look at you two like villains?”
They stayed up all night like this. On the second day, the sky finally cleared up. Before Liu Xuanyang could return, Xu Taichang and the other two decided to bring their men to the Xiqi Mountain Range first and then reunite with the others.
“Miss Ruoshui, are you done resting? We are ready to go to the mountain today.”
Xu Taichang walked over to Ruoshui’s side and said with a smile, “If you see such a cute little girl, then everyone must like her.”
Ruoshui finally made it through the night, He didn’t even dare to close his eyes. Today, he would rather go into the mountain alone. Even if he encountered those so-called people from Diabolism, he would not want to stay with these two vulgar looking old men. However, he did not know what to say now. He could only pretend to look behind and forced a smile, “I think Senior Sister and Senior Brother are about to arrive. Otherwise, I will wait for them outside the mountain.”
“This can’t be, this can’t be …”
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, He Chongtian shook his hand and said, “When the Second Valley Master left, he specifically instructed me and Senior Brother to protect the girl. We have to leave the girl here alone. If we encounter those evil people from the Devil Religion, this … can’t, can’t …”
Ruoshui squeezed out a smile on his face, but he couldn’t help but complain in his heart. The two of you are very bad old men. You must be planning something bad. I heard Martial Uncle Mei Jianyi say that you used to bully Senior Brother when he was young. Now that you can’t beat him, it’s my turn again.
Xu Taichang said, “Since that’s the case, then … Miss Ruoshui, why don’t you join us?”
“Then … I’ll have to trouble you two Martial Uncles.”
Ruoshui tried his best to smile, but he could no longer refuse, so he could only take a step first and leave secretly if he had the chance.
The group immediately entered the mountain. After entering the mountain, they saw mountains overlapping and majestic. The entire Xiqi Mountain Range stretched endlessly. This was only the outer mountain. After entering the inner mountain, they could even see many immortal birds, exotic beasts, and rare flowers and herbs. However, it was not an easy task to enter the inner mountain.
It wasn’t until dusk that they arrived at a valley full of strange flowers. However, when they saw the flowing water in the valley and the gentle breeze brushing against their faces, they felt refreshed. Xu Taichang said, “It’s already late today, so it’s not appropriate to travel at night. Why don’t we rest in the valley for a night and see if we can meet up with the Second Valley Master and the others tomorrow?”
He Chongtian naturally did not have any objections. He looked at Ruoshui and laughed, “Miss Ruoshui, why don’t you rest for a night before leaving?”
“Good, good …”
Ruoshui tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but he didn’t let down his guard all the way. Thinking of staying in such a valley with the two old men at night, he couldn’t be careless.
“Mm …”
Xu Taichang nodded and said to the ten or so disciples, “Spread out tonight to prevent the people from the Devil Religion from sneaking in.”
“Yes … Master.”
A dozen disciples of Cangfeng Valley immediately scattered around the valley. At night, they saw the cold moon hanging sideways in the sky. Even the moonlight was as cold as frost.
Ruoshui was restless and suddenly stood up. He Chongtian saw her suddenly stand up and asked, “Miss Ruoshui, what’s wrong?”
“Ah … no, no … well, I think … I think …”
Ruoshui murmured, and Xu Taichang asked, “What’s wrong? The frost and dew in the mountains are heavy. What’s wrong with the girl?”
“Ah … no, no, I just thought, that …”
She held her skirt with her two small hands and lowered her head to speak coyly. He Chongtian immediately understood and smiled, “Go, go.”
“Good, good …”
Ruoshui immediately ran and flew out of the forest. He didn’t really want to find a place to go, but to see if he could escape. However, he strolled around. Whenever there was an exit, the disciples of Cangfeng Valley guarded it tightly. How would he get out this time? If he were to leave with his sword, he would definitely alert those two old men …
After thinking for a while, she finally returned to the woods. He Chongtian saw that she had been gone for so long, and his face flashed with suspicion. He asked, “Why did the girl come back after going for so long?”
“Ah …”
Ruoshui raised his head, but his gaze was elsewhere. He stroked his hair and said softly like a mosquito, “I, I naturally have to go a little further …” Then he said, “Well … I’m sleepy. Martial Uncles, I’m going to sleep in that cave over there.”
Xu Taichang looked at the cave not far away and nodded slightly, “Young lady, if you need anything, just shout loudly.”
“Mm-hmm, then I’ll go. Good night, Martial Uncles!”
Ruoshui said as he ran towards the cave not far from the forest. However, she did not dare to fall asleep that night. It was not until midnight that she suddenly discovered that Xu Taichang and He Chongtian were no longer in the forest. She thought to herself, “Where did they go at this late hour?”
With curiosity, she sneaked out of the cave and found an aura to sense. She came to a mountain stream. A faint voice could be heard from inside the water curtain. Although the sound of water was loud, her spiritual sense was much sharper than ordinary people. At this moment, she could clearly hear the conversation between Xu Taichang and his fellow disciples.
“At most three days, all of our people will arrive. The Second Valley Master has already gone there. This time, the power of the Frost Lake must not be lost. Bringing that Ruoshui with him will always be a problem …”
The person who spoke was He Chongtian. On the mountain stream, Ruoshui could hear them clearly. He thought to himself, these two really don’t have any good intentions. I still don’t want to be with you.
Xu Taichang said, “There’s no hurry. With her around, the people of Xuanqing Sect must be nearby as well. When the time comes, we can use her to lure the people of the Devil Religion. If she falls into the hands of the Devil Religion, the people of Xuanqing Sect will definitely save her. In this way, if they fight to the death, we can reap the benefits.”
On the mountain stream, Ruoshui heard these words clearly. This time, his heart couldn’t help but tremble. If they just didn’t want to take him with them, it was fine. But now, they were actually so vicious. They actually wanted to use him as bait and harm Senior Sister and Senior Brother. How could these two be so terrifying …
“Miss Ruoshui, why are you here?”
Suddenly, a young man’s voice sounded from behind. Ruoshui was engrossed in hearing it, but he did not notice that someone was coming from behind. He was even more shocked. Damn it!
“Miss Ruoshui! Where are you going!”
The man stretched out his hand and shouted. However, Ruoshui had already pulled out his flying sword and quickly left the valley. Behind the water curtain, Xu Taichang and He Chongtian were also shocked. Why was she here? Could it be that she had heard all the things they had said before? This time, it was definitely not good!
The two of them instantly flew up from behind the water curtain. When the disciple above the mountain stream saw the two masters suddenly fly out from below, he was also shocked, “Masters, what are you doing …”
“You guys stay here!”
Under Xu Taichang’s command, he immediately took out his flying sword and chased after He Chongtian.
