The little tree demon Wen Yu from the Spring God Hall accidentally trespassed into the Hall of Talents and inadvertently damaged the Immortal Tree, harming a mortal's longevity branch - causing...
Chapter 296: The first release is not good, really not good. ...
Snowy forest and cold foggy day.
The morning light had just carved a gap in the sky when Wen Yu arrived at Qipan Pass.
She didn't know why Dan Qing kidnapped the person so far away.
Different from the lush green mountains in late spring, Qipan Pass is often windy and frost-covered. Snow falls endlessly all year round, like willow catkins and goose feathers.
Dan Qing is such a stubborn person that he doesn't even know how to choose a warmer place even for the sake of...
Chen Zhizhi and his companions were mortal beings, and there was no way they could withstand such cold.
Wen Yu raised her sleeve and pressed her wildly beating solar plexus. She hadn't slept all night and had been in a hurry to get here, so she felt a little uncomfortable stopping suddenly.
"Dan Qing——" I was too lazy to play hide-and-seek with him anymore, so I might as well get straight to the point.
The north wind swept in, and Wen Yu's voice soon disappeared. Except for the broken snow brushing against the eyebrows and the ice crystals covering the face, no one answered in Qipan Pass.
Wen Yu did not insist and did not call her a second time. Dan Qing was deliberately avoiding her, so how could he show up in person?
She simply calmly checked the situation around her.
Although she had never been to Qipanguan, she had heard of it before.
The terrain here is dangerous and extremely steep. The road up is complicated and winds around seven times, like a giant python tightly wrapped around this snow-capped mountain that never melts all year round, hence the name Qipan Pass.
It is not difficult to understand why Dan Qing chose this place.
It’s a pity that the snow falls silently but people’s footsteps leave traces. Even an ancient mythical beast like Dan Qing cannot completely hide its traces.
Wen Yu curled her lips slightly, and with a flick of her wrist, a jade-bone fan slid into her palm, "Liu Yun——"
It was worthy of being the master's magic weapon. It broke through the wind and snow that blocked people's vision in just a few strokes, revealing a place that was originally quite hidden.
"Are you coming out on your own?" Wen Yu fanned herself, tapping her palm intermittently. She spoke slowly, "Or should I go in and invite you out?"
As she expected, after a moment of silence, there was the rustling sound of footsteps on the snow.
When Dan Qing's green hair popped out from the white mass, it was very eye-catching. "Why, why did you come here alone?"
After looking around and confirming that there was really no one else around, his already tiny bit of guilt suddenly turned into alertness, and he stared at Wen Yu with eyes full of suspicion.
"Where's my master?" Dan Qing's face turned red and white, and his tone began to become strange. "What did you do to the master?"
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and also looked behind him where there was no one.
"When I left your master last night..." She dragged out the last syllable, whetting Dan Qing's appetite, "Why weren't you afraid of what I might do to him?"
"You, you..." Dan Qing glared at him, but his face was filled with panic. "You shameless bastard!"
Did he make a mistake in judgment and send his master into danger?
"Go back now—" Wen Yu strode towards Dan Qing with his head held high, and as he passed him, he specifically instructed, "Maybe you can still catch up and see what a shameless person like me has done to your master."
"You——" After a long while, Dan Qing didn't say anything else.
His mind went blank in an instant, his face felt hot and tight, and he froze in place, letting Wen Yu walk over him.
Even though he had lived for tens of millions of years, he had actually never seen many strangers besides his master, let alone someone like Wen Yu... someone like him...
Whether it is an immortal envoy or a god, they all value reputation and prestige. How does Wen Yujun manage to be so detached, open-minded and free-spirited? In other words... begging for mercy?
Wen Yu left the suspicious Dan Qing behind him, staring at a place with a faint blue light, and almost laughed out loud.
Dan Qing probably didn't think she would catch up. The restriction was so sloppy that even the remaining spiritual power was not cleaned up.
With a flick of the Liuyun fan, Wen Yu easily opened Danqing's restriction, and the cave entrance hidden behind it also appeared.
Whether Ren Danqing is Taihao's mount or an ancient mythical beast, no matter how capable she is, can she surpass her master, Lord Ju Mang?
Good luck, good luck.
A smile appeared on Wen Yu's lips. She closed her fan and walked straight inside.
"Aunt!" Chen Zhizhi was the first to discover Wen Yu.
The latter looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chen Zhizhi coming out from Su Jianbai's furry fox tail. She raised her eyebrows in slight surprise, feeling that something was wrong.
"Zhizhi." Wen Yu nodded to indicate to her.
Chen Zhizhi also quickly understood and asked everyone to stand up.
The cave here is not very spacious, and it is a bit crowded to accommodate so many people.
On the left were Song Jiming and Wen Juncheng leaning against each other. Wen Heng, who usually acted independently, had somehow transformed into a little girl, which was very rare.
On the right were Shen Bishan and Wen Bohui, each of whom was resting with his eyes closed. They sat upright without losing their composure at all.
People of noble birth are naturally extraordinary, and Wen Yu understands this.
Then, Su Jianbai, who had transformed into his original form, wrapped Chen Zhizhi with his huge fox tail and refused to let go, but he looked sleepy and as if he had not yet woken up from a good dream.
Wen Yu's gaze swept around and finally landed on Song Xuechuan who was sitting alone in the middle.
It was somewhat beyond her expectation that Song Zhuo's eyes were wide open and he was very clear-headed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Although he was usually very cold, he was never as... numb as he is now?
He would be the one left alone.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances at Wen Heng who was still sleeping soundly.
She leaned on Song Yu's shoulder, obviously feeling at ease.
That’s right, Wen Heng and Song Yu are of the same age, and they have been childhood sweethearts.
How many years younger is Song Zhuo?
Although the friendship between them cannot be simply compared, it is definitely different.
"It's freezing outside, stop running around..." Su Jianbai muttered drowsily, not forgetting to wrap Chen Zhizhi in his arms. "Who wants to watch the snow and the moon with that green-haired monster Dan Qing?"
The two people who had been fighting and arguing with each other just two days ago now seemed to be strangely peaceful. Su Jianbai's mouth had somehow changed from being vindictive to being coaxing.
Wen Yu pursed her lips tightly, but the corners of her eyes couldn't help but curve up.
"You stinky fox, let me go!" Chen Zhizhi's smile froze for a moment, and he slapped Su Jianbai in a panic, "Yes, it's my auntie!"
"Ah? Where is my aunt? Where is she?" Before he could finish his words, a white-haired fox rolled over and got up from the ground.
After seeing Wen Yu, she rushed over and hugged her legs tightly, "Auntie, ah, auntie, you have to make the decision for us."
Su Jianbai had never called her like this, let alone bowed his head and asked for help like this.
Wen Yu looked at Chen Zhizhi in confusion, wondering how this man could have changed his personality overnight.
"This is my aunt, not your aunt." Chen Zhizhi's lips twitched, and he grabbed Su Jianbai's fox ears and lifted him up.
Su Jianbai maintained his original form. Although his face was covered with fox fur, he had an inexplicably cunning feeling. "Why should we differentiate between you and me?"
"Who told you a tongue twister!" Chen Zhizhi's eyes flashed, he glanced at Wen Yu quickly, and then glared at Su Jianbai.
Wen Yu laughed for a moment and tapped Su Jianbai's white-haired forehead with his knuckles, turning him into a human form. "Be more restrained in your behavior, and you won't be afraid of scaring people."
Su Jianbai and Chen Zhizhi were mumbling something, but Wen Yu didn't pay attention. Compared to them, Song Zhuo's condition was obviously more abnormal.
"Xiao Zhuo, are you okay?" Seeing his eyes staring blankly, Wen Yu couldn't help but ask with concern.
These two words were like the key to open the forbidden door, which made Song Zhuo unlock with a "click" and immediately look at her.
But when their eyes met, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and Wen Yu quickly noticed -
He reacted because of the two words "Xiao Zhuo", not for her.
Instead, his disappointment seemed to be that she was not the person he had imagined her to be.
Xiao Zhuo.
Wen Yu repeatedly pondered these two words in his mind, combining them with a certain point in his memory and the current situation.
It's hard to guess what he's thinking...
"Aunt." Wen Heng rubbed his eyes and stared repeatedly until he was sure that the person coming was really Wen Yu. "Aunt, are you okay?"
Last night, the light blue waves brought them to this desolate mountain with wind and snow, leaving them no time to react. I wonder if something will happen to my aunt at home.
She struggled to get up and wanted to go this way, but her steps were weak due to a night of light sleep and she almost fell.
"Aheng, be careful." Song Yu supported Wen Heng and moved step by step, and his movements were very considerate and thoughtful.
Wen Heng did not refuse and used Song Yu's hand for support, "Brother Yu, go slower too."
This kind of natural tacit understanding and familiarity does not seem like something that two people separated by two places can have in a short period of time.
The distance between Jiangyang and Shangdu seemed to have never had any impact on this pair of childhood sweethearts who had studied and played together since childhood. Instead, one of them was in politics and the other in business, and they worked together very well.
Wen Yu glanced at Song Zhuo thoughtfully. When did something wrong start to happen to him?
Wutong Ancestral Temple, Song Residence, and Qipan Pass.
After a brief thought, Wen Yu understood.
Some people think that something is a secret, but in fact it is obvious.
Before Wen Heng and Song Yu could take two steps, Song Zhuo stood up and turned around with a gentle smile on his face, "Brother, let me do it."
The loss just now seemed to have never existed.
"You've been guarding the entire night without closing your eyes. Don't get up so soon." Song Yu frowned slightly, and his concerned eyes swept over the dark circles under his eyes.
Last night, Dan Qing dragged everyone to watch the snow and admire the moon. After a lot of tossing and turning, they couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep in a hurry. Only Xiao Zhuo insisted on keeping watch for everyone and refused to go to sleep.
Wen Heng also waved his hand in disapproval, "I'm fine. Xiao Zhuo, you've always been weak, so you have to take care of yourself."
"I will." Song Zhuo nodded obediently, and once again acted like a brother, "Thank you, brother and sister Heng, for your concern."
Even so, he didn't stop. He quickly walked to the other side of Wen Heng and supported her elbow. "Sister Heng, be careful."
Wen Heng was attacked from both sides by the two of them, and he didn't know whether to take the left foot or the right foot first, so he stopped in place.
Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was really worried about how to break this strange situation.
She used to hate herself for being a piece of wood, but now she hates herself for being too open-minded.
It’s not good, it’s really not good.
Therefore, everything in the world requires balance and moderation. If you are dull, you will miss a lot, and if you are too smart, you will be troubled.
Fortunately, Shen Bishan was awakened by the noise of several people at this time. She stretched her waist lazily and seemed to hear the crackling of her joints.
"Be careful, be careful, why didn't anyone tell me to be careful——"
The purple-gold crown she wore all night did not move at all, all thanks to her straight body. But to be honest, she really didn't want to be so straight, it was very tiring.
"Your Highness, be careful." Wen Liangjian went with the flow and was very tactful.
Chen Bishan's movements suddenly paused, and he looked up and down at the person beside him curiously, then reached out and patted him on the face, "Bo Hui is still the best, Bo Hui understands my heart the most."
Wen Liang smiled but said nothing, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.
But when Song Zhuo saw this, he turned his face away uncomfortably and said, "Well, let's set off once His Highness wakes up."
He couldn't imagine such intimacy.
"Well, I'll be right there." Chen Bi brushed off the wrinkles on his robe, and in the blink of an eye he looked majestic again. "But why don't you come and help me?"
They have been together since childhood and have a deep friendship. They didn't care about these things at first, but it was fun to use them to tease Song Zhuo.
Song Zhuo choked and it took him a long time to find his voice, "Your Highness, please don't make fun of me."
"Okay." Wen Heng patted the back of Song Zhuo's hand to comfort him, and unconsciously spoke for him, "Now that you're awake, let's go. Don't keep Aunt waiting."
She spoke, and Chen Bi stopped joking, "Well, listen to Ah Heng."
Several people immediately gathered around Wen Yu and followed her instructions obediently.
"etc--"
Wen Yu's brows tightened. No wonder she felt the cave was so quiet.
"Where's Wen Liangyi?"
