He is surly

The winter snow was falling continuously, and finally stopped for one day. The sun was shining brightly that day, and Mo Xue was waiting at Lingzhong Gate early in the morning.

A figure in plain clothes slowly approached on Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou landed on the snow, making a creaking sound as the snow was compacted.

Bai Linchuan was wearing a white dress with white silk sleeves trimmed with white fluff and the warm hem embroidered with silver thread. On the snowy ground illuminated by the sun, it twinkled like broken stars. Her long blue cloak rested on the snow, as if a layer of blue sky was spread over the white snow.

He was dressed in an elegant manner, with a white veil on his head, which added a layer of mystery to him.

Mo Xue's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with a smile, his fangs pointed and his dimples raised, "Junior Sister, long time no see."

Bai Linchuan said "hmm" lightly.

Mo Xie said, "I know a beautiful place."

"Wait a moment." Bai Linchuan called him and handed him a jade pendant.

Mo Xue was surprised, his hand holding the jade pendant frozen in the air. The jade pendant was icy cold, yet it gave off a hint of warmth in the cold winter wind. "So it was you. The shopkeeper told me that a woman had taken the jade pendant. I thought it was hopeless."

He looked at Bai Linchuan sincerely, the wind blowing across his veil. "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have been beaten up by Bai Linchuan sooner or later."

Mo Xue suddenly saw that he seemed to be smiling under the veil, but the wind fell again and the veil blocked his sight.

Bai Linchuan said lightly, "Are you afraid of him?"

"Who? Bai Linchuan, I'm not afraid of him." Mo Xue tilted his head, "Junior sister, have you dealt with the family affairs? You seem to be much more relaxed."

Bai Linchuan was startled, and immediately put away the smile on his face that he didn't even notice. He looked at Mo Xue with a cold expression, "I have something to talk to you about in a moment."

Mo Xie also said: "That's perfect. I made an appointment with Wei Si. Last time I thought... maybe there was a misunderstanding between you two."

Bai Linchuan was stunned and felt cold all over. Mo Xue couldn't see his expression, but he also felt the cold air.

"I don't like him."

Bai Linchuan stared at Mo Xue with his arms stretched out, as if if Mo Xue dared to say another word for Wei Si, he would leave and never see him again.

Unexpectedly, Mo Xue came closer with a smile, "So do you like me?"

Bai Linchuan was stunned. His smile was like the warm sun in winter, instantly melting the sharp icicles on his body.

He turned around and walked around Mo Xue, "Where is the beautiful scenery you mentioned?"

Seeing him evading, Mo Xue laughed out loud and tied the jade pendant to his belt. He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Bai Linchuan's hand through his clothes, and ran happily in the winter snow.

Bai Linchuan was slightly surprised. Mo Xue ran with him in the long winter snow. Mo Xue looked back at him with bright eyes, "I'll take you there right now, but... you must not tell Bai Linchuan."

The wind blew past, brushing their cheeks and blowing their clothes back, and two cheerful footprints appeared on the snow.

The bronze bells on the corners of the palace rang, and the crisp tinkling sound faded away with the flying birds, making my heart flutter.

Bai Linchuan's heart began to beat strangely, and he felt a strong warmth on his sleeve. He followed Mo Xue to his home. This was obviously his home, so Bai Linchuan would not "appear".

But when Mo Xue stepped cautiously on the snow and quietly opened the railing in the backyard, he looked like a thief.

Bai Linchuan also became nervous. The two of them crossed the fence and ran all the way to the foggy forest behind the mountain.

The leaves on the trees have long fallen, but winter has condensed unique winter flowers for them. Frost flowers bloom on the branches, emitting a white and transparent prism.

Mo Xue climbed the stone steps up the mountain, turned back and smiled, "We're almost there."

Bai Linchuan already knew where they were going. This road led only to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was quiet and everything was silver-white. There would only be the two of them. He couldn't help but hold on to the corner of his clothes.

However, when they reached halfway up the mountain, the ground suddenly shook, breaking up the neatly-painted snow, causing branches to sway and icicles to fall.

Bai Linchuan stopped immediately. Mo Xueyi turned around and loosened his hand, looking around in confusion. "What happened?"

The ground shook the night the abyss barrier was broken. Bai Linchuan thought to himself that this was not good, but perhaps he was wrong. He suggested, "Let's go down and take a look first."

"Okay." Mo Xue nodded, and the two returned the same way.

When they returned to the foot of the mountain, they walked out from the shade of the woods and into the dazzling but cold sunlight.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother!" Bei Shaozhi was shouting outside the door.

Bai Linchuan said to Mo Xue, "Something must have happened. I'll go and take a look." Then he ran into the house.

Mo Xie clicked his tongue, "What could go wrong with him?"

Bai Linchuan paused, Mi Li swayed slightly, and turned back to look at Mo Xue.

Mo Xue stood outside Lanshan, his expression was indifferent, his eyes were dark, and he was no longer smiling.

Bai Linchuan was stunned, but he turned around and ran into the house.

Bei Shaozhi banged on the door so hard that the snow on it fell down. Just as he was about to break it open, the door opened and inside was a girl with Mi Li.

Bei Shaozhi was startled. "Where is the senior brother?"

Bai Linchuan suddenly took off the Mi Li and hung it around his neck behind him.

Bei Shaozhi was shocked again and again, "Ah...ah???"

Bai Linchuan took off the jade hairpin on his head and asked, "What's the matter?" His clothes were already light, and winter clothes were heavy, with little difference between men and women, so he had no time to change.

Bei Shaozhi was still in shock. "Big Brother, are you wearing women's clothing?"

Bai Linchuan frowned and looked at him, "What's the matter?"

Bei Shaozhi finally reacted, "The Abyss barrier has been broken, Master has already led the way there, and asked us to go to the East Corner for support."

"Okay." Bai Linchuan said, "By the way, Mo Xue is in the backyard. Let him go to Master's place. It's safe there."

Bei Shaozhi didn't have too many doubts. After all, it was common for him to pass messages between the two of them. When he walked to the backyard, he suddenly remembered why Mo Xue was here. Bai Linchuan also...

Before he could figure out the problem, the backyard was empty. There was no one in sight, only a series of scattered footprints leading outside.

Bai Linchuan went to the east corner of the abyss without waiting for Bei Shaozhi. An elder in the west corner was injured, so Bei Shaozhi was temporarily called to the west corner.

This time, the demons were coming with such force that the entire Lingzhong Mountain was thrown into chaos. The Grand Master was shouting through the amplified sound: "The demons have broken through the boundary. All disciples, go to the protective formation. Those who have spare strength may go to the outer edge of the abyss to fight the demons."

Mo Xue finally understood what had happened. He had heard that this demon had never given up and would come every few years.

"ah--"

"roar----"

"Go!"

But when the terrified cries in the distance came out as the startled birds flew out of the forest, everyone's heart almost jumped into their throat.

The pure white snow was in disarray, with footprints marking the ground, and people running and shouting everywhere.

Mo Xue pulled off the jade pendant and ran against the crowd into the protective formation. The huge seal talisman on the ground lit up with blue light, and a bright white light shield rose from the ground, shining above their heads and closing, covering them.

On the horizon, birds flew fiercely and swooped down on the light shield. They opened their mouths, biting the air with dense and sharp teeth, and their wings bulged with red bones, dripping with rotten and smelly black blood. They slapped the light shield hard, causing the light shield to vibrate white again and again.

"Wait for me!"

One monk was half a step late, and a bird flew towards him. Its sharp teeth bit off his flesh, leaving shocking scars in an instant, and blood dripped onto the snow.

"Help--"

He attacked with his sword, but the birds were so agile in flying that he couldn't hurt them at all. The birds smelled blood and flew away in a circle. The monk was shocked and froze in place, his pupils dilated in surprise.

A burst of sword energy came and scattered Qi Niao. The master took action, grabbed the cultivator with one hand, quickly dodged back, and quickly closed the barrier.

The Grand Master stood in front of the barrier and said, "I've already told you all, you must practice diligently and not be lazy."

The monk collapsed on the ground exhausted, his arms and face covered with scars from the bird bites, his skin revealing tender red flesh, and blood was flowing.

His white clothes quickly turned red.

Master Xiu handed him a jade bottle and said, "It's for stopping the bleeding. After the demons disperse, go to Qiankua Medical Clinic."

The monk took it and said, "Thank you, Master."

The Grand Master said, "These are Qi birds, they eat human flesh. If I don't intervene in time, they'll devour you alive, bite by bite, leaving not even a bone." He sighed worriedly and looked towards the abyss. "This is still the lowest level of demon..."

Inside the barrier, for a moment, the only sounds that could be heard were the sharp cries of the birds and the sound of them flapping against the barrier.

Mo Xue squatted in the corner, looking around, but didn't see the familiar figure. He wondered if his junior sister had gone to the abyss.

Too many demons escaped and the barrier was damaged. The master could not take care of this side for a while, and someone signaled to the back as he was ready to make a move.

Mo Xue turned his head and saw Qi Niao's three layers of teeth roaring at him, and he shuddered.

Suddenly a shadow appeared in front of him and a group of people surrounded him.

Mo Xue slowly raised his head.

"Hey, isn't this Mo Xue?" said the visitor.

Mo Xue shifted his gaze and looked at Qi Niao. You know what, in comparison, Qi Niao was quite cute when it didn't open its mouth.

However, someone, as ignorant as the demon, continued to speak: "You are not a disciple of Elder Ding, so why are you here?"

"That's right, a dignified inner sect disciple would actually hide. Look around you, who else is like you?"

"Aren't all the inner disciples gone to repair the abyss barrier?"

"Yeah, then is there still... a human in front of us?"

They went back and forth, their voices were not loud, but word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and everyone came over to pay attention.

The leaders surrounded Mo Xue, while the rest stood at a distance from them, indifferent and watching coldly.

Mo Xie's dark eyes curled upwards, "If I'm not a human, then what are you? Could it be a ghost? Why are you scolding yourself?"

"You! I mean... you are now an inner sect disciple."

Mo Xue said leisurely, "Oh, you're hating that you're not an inner disciple. You're truly lucky. If you were an inner disciple, you wouldn't be hiding with your current level, and you'd be providing food for the demons for nothing."

The man's face turned pale and blue, but in the middle of winter, his face flushed with anxiety. He asked back, "Then you are lowering the standards of the inner disciples by doing this, and you still have the nerve to say that."

He cursed loudly, but the corner of Mo Xie's mouth actually lifted up a little. He tilted his head leisurely and said, "I just can't do it."

"you!"

Mo Xue said with a "bang", "Goodbye, sit down for a while to save your energy. If this barrier breaks, you will have to run again soon."

"Then you should also stand in front of us! Fellow cultivators, don't you agree?"

There was a moment of silence in the crowd. At this moment, a slight cracking sound was heard, and a crack appeared in the barrier. The birds flapped and screamed frantically. People stepped back, swallowing their saliva with lingering fear.

At this time, someone pointed at Mo Xie and said, "He, let him go out and get rid of Qi Niao, otherwise... otherwise we will all die here."

As soon as one voice was spoken, hundreds of voices echoed, "Yes, Mo Xue, you go out and get rid of Qi Bird."

Mo Xiu frowned and squatted alone in the corner. Several monks stood in front of him, pointing at him with their hands or naked eyes.

"Why?" Mo Xie asked back.

Qi Niao became more and more crazy, and the cracks became bigger and bigger.

"Ah——" A man was very close to the barrier, and the sharp beak of the bird suddenly stretched out and bit him. He screamed, and the barrier suddenly became chaotic.

Another one or two demons with long tails were lying above the barrier. They were much larger than the birds and were biting and roaring.

"Why are there more and more demons?"

"Will the abyss be undefendable?"

"The barrier is about to break."

"Everyone stay away."

One of them raised his sword. He felt that as a proud man, he should shoulder his responsibilities. He pointed his sword forward and said, "Mo Xue, don't force us."

Mo Xue laughed angrily, raising the corner of his mouth arrogantly and perversely. His dark eyes scanned the man up and down, wanting to memorize his appearance in his mind. "Why do you think I can stop the demons just by leaving?"

"You are an inner disciple. Even if you die, you must die before us." Another person said.

"Aren't you ashamed of saying that?" Mo Xueyi stood up with the sword in his hand. The straight blade shone with a cold light as he faced the crowd without fear.

"You were the one who started it." The other party swung his sword first, and Mo Xue quickly dodged.

However, the barrier was so small that Mo Xue had no choice but to move diagonally forward.

Suddenly, a man stood up behind Mo Xue and stretched out his sword towards him.
