Chapter 268 Telling the Biggest Lie of My Life (4000 words)
“Roar!”
The eastern coast of the Western Regions—over the Yellow Leaf Sea.
Several sea beasts roared at the monks in the air.
The disciples of Wandao Sect held magical weapons and fought with the sea beasts.
The sea tiger fish slapped the sea surface with force, and waves several feet high rushed up from the sea surface, condensing into sharp cone waves, stabbing towards the disciples of Wandao Sect!
"Everyone be careful!"
A monk shouted.
He didn't need to say anything, the disciples of Wandao Sect had already used their magic weapons to block the sharp cone-shaped wave.
But they were fully focused on resisting the attacks of the Hague Tigerfish and had no energy left to fight back.
At this moment, a giant sea snake found an opportunity. It rushed up and lashed out with its long tail, hitting several disciples of Wandao Sect.
They were like cannonballs being smashed out, and like pebbles, they skipped one after another on the sea.
"What the hell is this mission?"
The four Wandao Sect disciples had already started cursing in their hearts.
They originally thought it was just an ordinary task of strangling the monster and seizing the magic core.
But who knew that the strength of these three sea beasts was comparable to that of Yuanying realm cultivators.
Moreover, these three sea beasts cooperated with each other, making their suffering even more unbearable.
Just when everyone was despairing and wanted to give up the mission and escape.
A long knife fell from the air and pierced straight into the back of the Havoc Tiger Fish.
“Roar!”
The tooth tiger fish roared, and bright red blood spurted out, and a "blood rain" fell from the sky.
It kept struggling, trying to throw the long knife off its back.
The next moment, a girl fell from the sky and landed on the Hague Tiger Fish.
The girl was seen holding a long knife and slashing it sideways as if she was cutting meat.
A flash of blood-red knife light appeared, and the arachnid was cut in half, and the blood dyed the sea red.
“Roar!”
The giant sea snake pounced towards the girl.
She raised her head, and circles of Dao patterns appeared in her eyes.
The giant sea serpent looked back at it, its eyes gradually losing color.
Suddenly, the giant sea snake changed its target and pounced on the sea sword turtle on the side.
The Sea Sword Turtle didn't know what was happening and why his "ally" suddenly attacked him.
The sea sword turtle, which had the intelligence of a seven-year-old child, was completely enraged, and the two ferocious beasts fought each other.
In less than half an incense stick of time, the two ferocious beasts were both injured and some even floated on the sea, dying.
The girl stepped forward, long knife in hand.
Although the girl's major was "Fantasy Sky Art".
But over the years, the girl also learned some Blood Demon Sword Techniques under the guidance of her senior brother.
Even if he is not as good as his senior brother, it is still enough to kill these evil beasts.
With a flash of the knife, the girl cut off their heads and took out the magic core in their hearts.
Looking at the girl in the black dress, all the disciples of Wandao Sect swallowed their saliva.
All I can say is that the other party is worthy of being a disciple of Yexue Peak, and worthy of being that man’s junior sister.
The four of them worked hard to surround and suppress the three sea beasts and almost failed, but in the end she easily killed the three sea beasts by herself!
"Sister Yu, you are so awesome!"
A female cultivator from Qingyue Peak walked up to her and wanted to establish a good relationship with her.
"If it weren't for Junior Sister Yu, we wouldn't be able to complete this sect mission, and we would even be destroyed by them."
"This time when we go back, we must treat Junior Sister Yu to a meal. Junior Sister Yu, please don't refuse."
The other three monks also walked forward and tried to get closer to her. Two of the men looked at Yu Yunwei with admiration in their eyes.
After all, Yu Yunwei's beauty is well-known in Wandao Sect. She is known as the most beautiful woman in Wandao Sect. Her reputation has gradually spread throughout the world, and countless people admire her.
It’s a pity that in her eyes, there is only her senior brother from the same school.
Yu Yunwei glanced at the four people and thought that these people were really useless. They couldn't even kill three sea beasts.
Especially these two men are even more disgusting. They even want to treat me to a banquet?
Are they qualified?
These trash are not even as good as a hair of my brother.
No!
It seems that all the men in the world put together are not as good as a hair of my senior brother!
"No, it's all thanks to my senior brothers and sisters who expended a lot of energy on these three monsters. I was able to succeed by chance. They deserve the greatest credit."
Yu Yun replied with a slight smile, which looked extremely sincere, without any malice, and even gave people a refreshing feeling like a breeze.
The few of them felt very comfortable listening to Yu Yunwei's words, and suddenly felt that they seemed to have really played a significant role.
They also have a better impression of Yu Yunwei.
Just when a few people were about to say something, a flying sword came through the air and hovered beside Yu Yunwei.
Looking at the words "karma blood" engraved on the flying sword, Yu Yun was slightly surprised.
She quickly took the letter from the sword and opened it.
Yu Yunwei, who originally had a smile on her face, gradually became stunned.
She read it over and over again, wondering if she had read it wrong.
But on the white paper, the handwriting of the senior brother was so clear in front of her that she couldn't even deceive herself.
"Master."
Yu Yunwei completely lost his previous composure and flew towards Wandao Sect with all his strength.
"Impossible. Nothing can happen to Master. That's absolutely impossible." The girl was extremely anxious and wished she could return to Yexue Peak immediately.
Two days and two nights later, Yu Yunwei returned to Wandao Sect, and what he saw were collapsed mountains and cracked earth.
Many monks in the sect are repairing it.
Regardless of all this, Yu Yunwei hurriedly flew towards Yexue Peak.
When she arrived at Yexue Peak, what she saw were strips of white silk hanging in the courtyard and on the treetops.
Several hall masters, peak masters and elders of Wandao Sect stood in the courtyard with gloomy expressions.
Yu Yunwei walked forward blankly. When they noticed Yu Yunwei, they were stunned at first, then they looked away, shook their heads and sighed, making way for Yu Yunwei.
She walked to the front of the crowd and saw a man in mourning clothes and a white cloth on his forehead standing upright in front of a coffin.
The man lowered his head and looked at the nanmu coffin calmly.
There was an indescribable calmness in his eyes.
Just like the water in the deep well of the ancient tomb, no matter how windy or rainy it is outside, it can no longer stir up any ripples.
"Senior Brother." Yu Yunwei walked to Xiao Mo's side and called softly, her voice trembling slightly.
"I'm back." Xiao Mo turned his head and glanced at his junior sister. "You're back just in time. According to the customs of Xue Kui's hometown, she will be buried soon. You should go and see her for the last time."
Yu Yunwei's throat rolled. She looked at everything around her, and it seemed so unreal, as if it were a nightmare.
She walked forward step by step, her steps a little dazed.
When she came to the coffin and looked at her master lying inside, her mind went blank.
The master looked like she was asleep, with a faint smile on her lips.
A feeling of numbness and sadness emerged in Yu Yunwei's heart.
The master is clearly in front of me, so close, and yet he seems so far away.
Yu Yun raised his head slightly and saw Sister Qingyuan turned her head away, tightly pursing her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.
"The time has come." Xiao Mo stepped forward and said slowly, "Let's cover the coffin."
"Okay, Senior Brother."
Yu Yunwei responded subconsciously.
The sound clearly came from her throat, but she didn't feel like she was speaking.
The two senior brothers and sisters, one in front and one behind, lifted the coffin lid and slowly closed it from left to right.
The shadow of the coffin lid gradually covered Xue Kui's face.
Yu Yun looked at his master with reluctance until the coffin was completely covered.
The sounds of suona, gongs and drums rang out.
Four disciples from Lingfa Hall lifted the coffin.
According to the rules of Wandao Sect, if the peak master, elders, hall masters or high-level officials die, they need to circle around Wandao Sect.
Amidst the loud mournful music, white paper flowers were scattered in the air and drifted away.
Yu Yunwei followed his senior brother and kept walking forward.
The girl didn't know how long she had been walking.
Only the face of her master lying in the coffin kept appearing in her mind.
Gradually, the girl's body became shaky, and the huge impact she suffered in a short period of time made it difficult for her to accept it.
The girl seemed to be reaching her limit.
At this moment, Yu Yunwei felt a pair of big hands holding his palms.
Yu Yunwei turned his head and saw the determined look of his senior brother.
He kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, his gaze not shifting at all.
Yu Yunwei held her senior brother's hand tightly, as if only in this way could she have the strength to move on.
After Xiao Mo and Yu Yunwei carried their master's coffin around Wandao Sect, they returned to Yexue Peak again.
According to Xue Kui's wish before her death, she wanted to be buried in Yexue Peak, where she grew up.
The brother and sister took shovels and buried handfuls of yellow soil on the master's coffin.
Finally, Xiao Mo erected the tombstone.
Xiao Mo picked up the ink in his hand and carved the simple words "Tomb of My Entrepreneur, Xue Kui" on the tombstone, stroke by stroke.
When Xiao Mo put down the last stroke, Yu Yunwei could no longer hold on. She clenched the corner of her senior brother's clothes with her fingers, and tears welled up in her eyes, unable to be stopped.
Looking at his master's tombstone and listening to his junior sister's crying, Xiao Mo just stood there quietly, like the pine tree in the courtyard, as if he would hold up the sky even if it fell.
Yu Yunwei didn't know how long she had been crying.
Amid the girl's cries, Qing Yuan sent away all the guests who came to mourn.
Finally, Qing Yuan looked at the two senior brothers and sisters standing in front of the tombstone, and touched the corners of his eyes with a sour feeling in his heart.
She knew that no matter how she comforted them, it would be useless in this kind of situation, so she could only turn around and leave, leaving them alone.
Only Xiao Mo and his companion were left at Yexue Peak.
Before I knew it, the sky gradually darkened.
The girl cried from the afternoon until the evening, and the sky was covered with blood red.
Then I cried as the sunset faded away and the night fell over the sky, until it was filled with stars.
Xiao Mo never comforted Yun Wei from beginning to end.
At this time, only crying will make you feel better.
After a long time, Yu Yunwei's voice had become hoarse and her voice became weaker and weaker, until finally there was only sobbing and sobbing.
Late at night, Xiao Mo lowered his head and saw Yun Wei kneeling on the ground, leaning on his legs and having fallen asleep.
Even though Yun Wei is a cultivator in the Jindan realm, in terms of age, she is just a girl in her early twenties.
Yun Wei's feelings for Xue Kui are self-evident.
Therefore, the death of Xue Kui was definitely a big blow to the girl.
Xiao Mo squatted down, gently picked up Yu Yunwei, and walked into the room.
After putting Yun Wei on the bed, Xiao Mo walked out the door with light steps.
But before Xiao Mo took two steps, he felt his clothes being gently pinched.
Turning around, under the candlelight, there were Yun Wei's red eyes from crying and a haggard face.
"Senior Brother." The girl called softly, her voice trembling. She wanted to cry, but her tears had already dried up.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo said softly.
"Brother, why?"
Yu Yunwei's lips trembled.
"Why do the people around me keep leaving me one by one?
My parents left me.
Master Cai Yue, who brought me up the mountain, also left me.
Now even Master Xue Kui has left me.
Brother, is this my fault?
Did I kill them?
If I wasn't with them, if I died."
"Don't say such stupid things."
Xiao Mo shook his head, interrupting the girl from putting the blame on herself.
"You have done nothing wrong, and you have not killed anyone around you. This is none of your business.
It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.
on the contrary.
It is because of your existence that Xue Kui will not feel so lonely.
It is because of you, Yunwei, that Xue Kui misses you.
"For a person, the most precious thing in this world is caring for someone."
"But brother, Master..." the girl cried, "Master will never wake up again."
"Yun Wei." Xiao Mo sat at the head of the bed, patting her back gently. "Xue Kui didn't have the slightest regret about her own death. If she did, it was because she was worried about you. What she hoped most was that you would continue to live well."
Yu Yun lowered her eyes slightly, bit her thin lips, and her nose was still twitching slightly.
"Have a good rest. You must be very tired after rushing back."
Xiao Mo pulled the quilt over her shoulders.
He knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless.
This kind of thing can only be accepted slowly.
"Brother." When Xiao Mo stood up again, Yu Yunwei held Xiao Mo's wrist tightly, "Brother, can you promise me one thing?"
"You say." Xiao Mo nodded, "As long as Senior Brother can do it."
"Then senior brother, please don't leave me again, okay?" Yu Yunwei's eyes shook, and he looked at Xiao Mo almost pleadingly.
Listening to his junior sister's words, Xiao Mo was slightly stunned. Remembering what he was going to do next, he lowered his eyes and did not answer immediately.
"Brother, can you promise me?" Seeing that his brother didn't answer, Yu Yunwei grabbed Xiao Mo's wrist and trembled, feeling uneasy. "Don't ever leave me. Don't leave me alone, okay."
Xiao Mo raised his head, a gentle light flashing in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, held Yun Wei's hand, and smiled:
"good."
"forever."
"Um."
Xiao Mo nodded and told the biggest lie of his life.
"forever."
