Chapter 45 Chapter 45 What did you say?

"A step too late," Ruan Mingyu sighed, "He and that deer girl really do have a special relationship!"

Mu Chengzhou would definitely not be able to be an elder now, and might even be expelled from the sect. Wanjianshan was so strict that they would never tolerate such public violation of sect rules.

Mu Chengzhou risked his fame and fortune to save her, which truly shows his deep love and loyalty.

The head of Wanjian Mountain had an extremely ugly expression on his face, and he immediately ordered all the disciples of the sect to capture Lu Nu and Mu Chengzhou.

Ruan Mingyu turned to Song Chenxi and said, "Fortunately, you and I are not practicing in Wanjie Mountain, otherwise we would have been put into the pig cage long ago."

"Only those who commit adultery will be thrown into the pig cage. We are together openly and honestly." Song Chenxi said lightly.

Ruan Mingyu was stunned: "We are not together..."

"What did you say?"

"nothing……"

The square, which was bustling just now, suddenly became empty as the crowd dispersed.

Ruan Mingyu mused, "We have to find Mu Chengzhou before these people do. If he's captured, we might never learn the solution to Delusion again."

Song Chenxi poured cold water on him: "Can you tell me if you find him?"

Ruan Mingyu glared at him. "I was wondering, if we help him save the deer girl's life as a condition, would he agree to give us the solution?"

Song Chenxi said: "You can try."

Ruan Mingyu said in embarrassment: "But how do we find his trace?"

Song Chenxi snorted: "How difficult is that?"

Song Chenxi cast a spell and a butterfly appeared at his fingertips. He blew gently and the butterfly flew forward.

"The Seeking Butterfly?"

Only Song Chenxi is so shrewd and scheming.

Ruan Mingyu said: "Senior brother is still amazing!"

Song Chenxi raised his eyebrows: "I am awesome again now."

Ruan Mingyu kept praising him: "Senior brother has always been very good."

The two followed the direction of the butterfly's flight. After a long flight, the butterfly landed on a flower by a mountain stream.

Ruan Mingyu looked around and said, "There's not a single ghost here. Why did the butterflies stop?"

Song Chenxi looked around and touched the soil beneath his feet. Not seeing any moisture, he concluded, "This is an illusion."

He lit a yellow talisman, and soon the surrounding mountain stream disappeared, replaced by a huge stone cave with a few sparse blades of grass outside. The place where the butterfly landed was not a flower at all, but a rotten animal corpse that emitted a foul odor.

Ruan Mingyu's pupils constricted and he hid behind Song Chenxi.

Song Chenxi explored the cave for a while and turned back to say to him, "The person is inside the cave."

Ruan Mingyu looked forward and saw that the mountain stream had disappeared, replaced by a pitch-black cave. Ruan Mingyu said, "Then let's go in."

Song Chenxi walked in front of Ruan Mingyu. Not long after, he heard voices coming from the cave. At first they were talking, but later they seemed to be arguing.

The closer he got to the source of the voice, the clearer it became. Ruan Mingyu could clearly tell it was Mu Chengzhou's voice. There was actually some emotion in his tone: "We shouldn't have met again in this life."

The unkind Mu Chengzhou now looks no different from an ordinary person.

"It's better not to see you. Then let me go!" An angry female voice came out.

"What are you going back for? Don't you know they want your life?"

The female supporting character suddenly became hysterical: "You know what! I have to go back!"

"Why do you want to go back? Tell me a reason why you must go back."

"Don't ask, I beg you not to ask!" The deer girl broke down emotionally.

Ruan Mingyu was anxious just by listening to their voices. Why was it so uncomfortable to listen to the two of them talking? They talked for a long time but didn't get to the point.

Another quarrel erupted inside, and Ruan Mingyu couldn't help but cover his ears. These two crazy in-laws were really making a fuss. They argued back and forth, but they just wouldn't speak human language. After a long while, Lu Nu finally choked up and said.

"We once had a child together."

The cave fell into silence in an instant.

After a long time, Mu Chengzhou said: "You should have told me earlier..."

After a while, Mu Chengzhou seemed to notice their arrival and frowned.

"Come out!" Mu Chengzhou shouted.

Ruan Mingyu patted the dust off his knees and said, "Just let us out. Don't we have any dignity?"

Mu Chengzhou's expression was unfriendly: "No matter what your purpose is, leave here immediately."

Ruan Mingyu remembered what Song Chenxi had said about this man being very powerful. He stepped back and moved behind Song Chenxi, saying, "Let's go if we want to. Do you think we dare not leave?"

Song Chenxi burst out laughing.

We finally tracked them down, are we just going to let this opportunity slip away?

Ruan Mingyu hid behind Song Chenxi and spoke calmly, "Don't get me wrong, we have absolutely no intention of arresting you. Let's discuss this. If you tell us how to detoxify, I'll capture not only the children but also all the monkeys in the mountains of Wanjianmen."

Mu Chengzhou's expression became even uglier: "There's no need for you to intervene."

Song Chenxi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He rushed forward like lightning with his sword in hand. Even Ruan Mingyu had not yet reacted.

There was a burst of crackling sounds in the narrow cave, and the two men were fighting fiercely.

Ruan Mingyu was worried that Song Chenxi couldn't beat him, so he thought about it and sneaked forward. He was not a pushover either. He rushed over and grabbed Lu Nu's neck, threatening Mu Chengzhou: "Stop, or I'll kill her."

Although he had no intention of harming the deer girl, it was not impossible for him to say some threatening words as long as they would stop.

This action seemed to have touched Mu Chengzhou's reverse scale. He fought even more fiercely, not caring about his life. He rushed over regardless of anything, slapped Ruan Mingyu, and then snatched the girl from his hands.

Ruan Mingyu spat out a mouthful of blood. It was a mistake. He didn't expect him to move so quickly.

Song Chenxi looked back, his eyes darkened, and he retaliated by slapping Mu Chengzhou in the same way he had retaliated. At the same time, he grabbed the deer girl's shoulders and took Ruan Mingyu and her away from the cave before Mu Chengzhou could react.

In a flash, Ruan Mingyu found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.

Song Chenxi placed his hand on Ruan Mingyu's wrist to heal him, his face sullen: "Don't be so reckless next time. When you see someone fighting, move away and don't rush over to show off your strength."

Ruan Mingyu's heart was still in pain, and tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "I'm just worried about you!"

Song Chenxi was stunned for a moment, then he curled up the corners of his mouth, still pretending to be serious.

"It's not okay to worry about me."

Ruan Mingyu: "Didn't you say you couldn't beat him?"

Song Chenxi stared at him and suddenly smiled: "I also said that I don't like you."

Ruan Mingyu: “…”

What's the point of not bringing this up?

After treating Ruan Mingyu's wound, the two turned to the abducted Lu Nu. Lu Nu was standing aside, looking very anxious.

Song Chenxi wasn't one to say nice things, so Ruan Mingyu stepped forward, squatted down, and comforted her, "Don't worry, we won't hurt you, it's just..." He changed the subject, "If you tell us how to dispel the delusion? If you do, we'll let you go immediately. We're also disciples of a cultivation sect, and we always keep our word. Trust me."

The deer girl covered her face and cried. Her eyes rolled and she choked, "I can tell you, but I have one condition."

The deer girl knelt down without hesitation and said, "I also know the solution to the delusion. As long as you help me get my daughter out, I will tell you everything."

Ruan Mingyu and Song Chenxi looked at each other.

Ruan Mingyu helped the deer girl up, unable to believe that the answer he had been searching for would soon be revealed.

When it got dark, Song Chenxi asked Ruan Mingyu to stay here to guard Lu Nu, and he went first.

Ruan Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go together. Otherwise, if Mu Chengzhou comes looking for me, I won't be able to defeat him."

Song Chenxi nodded, trapped the deer girl inside the barrier, and set off with Ruan Mingyu.

The two covered their heads, leaving only one eye exposed, and took advantage of the dark and windy night to return to the Wanjian Gate. However, they did not expect that as soon as they climbed to the top of the temple gate, they saw bright lights below, which was completely different from the night.

"How can I get in with so many people guarding here?" Ruan Mingyu muttered softly.

Song Chenxi: "Wait."

Ruan Mingyu: “…” After waiting for a long time, he felt a little sleepy and leaned against Song Chenxi and squinted his eyes for a while.

My original intention was to take a nap, but I didn't expect that I would sleep so well that I fell asleep without realizing it.

When Ruan Mingyu woke up, the place was in chaos. Mu Chengzhou, who was supposed to be desperately searching for the deer girl, now had a stern look on his face, holding a child in his arms.

"You dare to come back? Do you take the sect rules seriously?" someone from Wanjian Sect questioned.

Mu Chengzhou said nothing, holding the child in one hand while fighting with his former fellow disciple. Neither side seemed to be giving in.

Ruan Mingyu woke up immediately and wanted to jump down to help, but Song Chenxi held him back and signaled him to wait and see what happened next.

More and more people joined the battle with Mu Chengzhou. Ruan Mingyu thought to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't take action just now, otherwise he would have gone there with his life but not come back alive.

Mu Chengzhou was also a fool. After rescuing his daughter, he stayed where he was, as if waiting for the people around him to come and capture him.

"Since you have been bewitched by that witch, we will spare you and the child in your arms if you bring him back. The sins of parents are not as severe as those of their children."

Mu Chengzhou remained unmoved: "I have committed this sin, so I shall bear the consequences."

The two sides started fighting, and the battle lasted from dusk till dawn. In the end, Mu Chengzhou was outnumbered and was beaten to the point where he was almost on his last breath.

It is also possible that he was holding someone and was unable to use his full strength. If he had thrown the child away, he could have escaped by himself, but he chose not to do so.

He held on for a long time, but in the end, he had no strength left. Being pressed to his knees by Wanjinshan's men, he still tightly protected the little girl in his arms.

An elder who looked highly respected came over, his face filled with disappointment. It was Master Mu Chengzhou. He said, "Mu Chengzhou, where did you take that demon girl? If you hand her over, you will still be a disciple of Wanjian Mountain, and your wrongdoing will be dealt with according to the sect's rules."

Mu Chengzhou refused to give in. "I will now avenge the sins I committed. You can do whatever you want with me."

Master: "If that witch hadn't tempted you to make a mistake, how could you have harbored such desires? Mu Chengzhou, you can't see clearly!"

Mu Chengzhou rejected it: "She didn't seduce me, I did it willingly!"

Master: "You have been completely bewitched by that witch. For so many years you have not been able to see your own heart clearly. Mu Chengzhou, you have disappointed me so much!"

The Wanjian Sect was completely disappointed with Mu Chengzhou and completely disregarded the friendship between fellow disciples and cast a magic circle against him.

Before Ruan Mingyu could see clearly what was happening, he saw a sudden burst of white light in front of him, and at the same time a strong impact came towards them. If he had not grabbed Song Chenxi, Ruan Mingyu felt that he would have fallen off the roof.

Ruan Mingyu looked over from a distance and saw that Mu Chengzhou was suppressed and trapped in the formation. Ruan Mingyu turned his head to look at Song Chenxi beside him. He looked nervous, as if he was calculating whether to take action.

Originally, Ruan Mingyu thought that Mu Chengzhou had no strength to fight back, and he and Song Chenxi had to show up. In the blink of an eye, Mu Chengzhou risked losing all his spiritual power and broke through the formation, heading towards them.

"It's over." Ruan Mingyu muttered to himself.

After he rushed over, he actually threw the child in his arms towards them.

Ruan Mingyu's actions were faster than his brain and he took it reflexively.

In the end, only Mu Chengzhou's pleading voice could be heard: "Take her away. The Deer Girl will tell you what you want."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell heavily to the ground and could no longer move.

The child in Ruan Mingyu's arms didn't know that this was her first and last meeting with her father.
