"Why are you here again?" Chen Xiao was surprised to see Tong Nuonuo.
Tong Nuonuo was wearing a cloak with a hood, and he looked nervous from his shoulders to his heels.
This made Chen Xiao's heart skip a beat. He lowered his voice and approached Tong Nuonuo, "What happened?"
Tong Nuonuo observed the surroundings for a while before transmitting a message to him, "I know where Ah Rou is!"
Chen Xiao was afraid that it might not be safe to transmit the message, so he pinched his arm and said, "We'll talk later. Let's go find Big Brother first."
When they turned around and walked away, they found that there was a person dressed similarly to Tong Nuonuo following them not far away.
Tong Nuonuo saw that he noticed it and whispered, "It's Li Muye."
Chen Xiao suddenly understood something. He turned around and asked Tong Nuonuo with his eyes: Was this information also given by Li Muye?
Tong Nuonuo nodded helplessly, and did not dare to tell Chen Xiao that in order to get this information, he owed Li Muye a huge favor.
He couldn't help but feel worried. This time, he had to pay Li Muye back twice before he could continue to seek revenge on him. Why did it feel like the day of revenge was getting further and further away?
There were thousands of people searching throughout the entire Youyan Cliff. People came and went, all looking down at their feet. Few noticed Chen Xiao and the others walking quickly.
After finding Xi Yunting, Chen Xiao gave him a look. Xi Yunting glanced at Tong Nuonuo and Li Muye, then covered them with the golden veil.
"Where is Ah Rou?" After being isolated from the outside world, Chen Xiao couldn't wait to ask.
"She is now hidden in a cave a little distance from here." He paused, glanced at Li Muye, and seeing that he had no objection, he told him the details, "After the calamity cloud dissipated, Li Muye did not leave the Swallowing Cliff, but entered the Stone Fortress to plunder Wu Xuzi's property."
He frowned, obviously disapproving of the other party's behavior of taking advantage of the situation.
Li Muye didn't want Tong Nuonuo to slander him in front of others, so he said directly: "My previous client died at the hands of Wu Xuzi, so I naturally want to get back the balance that I didn't receive. I also helped you sneak into the stone fort, so it's not too much to take some of the spoils, right?"
Xi Yunting nodded calmly: "The acquisition of spoils depends on one's ability, that's how it should be."
Li Muye glanced at Tong Nuonuo with pride, which made him feel a little tight in his chest.
Is he taking some? From what he said, it's almost like he's scraping the ground three feet deep!
They fought to the death in the front, but after the battle, they didn't get anything. All the gains were taken advantage of by Li Muye, who was the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind!
Although Tong Nuonuo was upset, she had to admit that what Xi Yunting said made sense.
Under the circumstances at that time, everyone was fleeing, but he was the only one who cared more about money than his life, and it was up to him to take as much as he wanted.
Chen Xiao urged him to continue, but Li Muye simply said, "Let me tell you. After the fire spread, I couldn't go out the front door, so I planned to evacuate through the back door in the dungeon, but I found the dwarf lying there." Chen Xiao was shocked when he heard this, "She was unconscious at the time, and she might have escaped there instinctively. The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and if I left her alone, she would burn to death sooner or later. So I felt kind and took her away from the stone fort and put her in a safe place."
Xi Yunting said seriously: "Thank you, Master Li, for lending a helping hand and saving Fellow Daoist Tang's life."
Facing Tong Nuonuo and Chen Xiao, Li Muye could still remain calm, but facing Xi Yunting, who had a strong aura, Li Muye could not be so casual.
He said politely, "I don't deserve Master Xi's thanks. I only extend this help because we are all from the same tribe. If it were an ordinary person, I wouldn't bother to care about his life or death. It is not easy for our minority tribe to survive in the world of immortal cultivation, and there are even fewer high-level immortal cultivators. It is rare that this fellow dwarf has this opportunity. He will achieve greater success in the future, which will be beneficial to the immortal cultivators of my tribe."
Xi Yunting's expression became more serious, and he raised his hand to salute: "It is precisely because Master Li is public-spirited and not selfish that it is even more precious. Fellow Daoist Tang is our companion, and Master Li saved her life, which is a favor to us."
Now even Chen Xiao was in awe of Li Muye. He thanked him and said, "Master Li can ignore the temptation of the treasure and only consider the future of the alien race. Such noble sentiments deserve respect."
Tong Nuonuo showed an expression of disbelief. Could this really be the ruthless, insidious and cunning Li Muye that he knew? He couldn't be an impostor, right?
Li Muye moved his shoulders uncomfortably, and faced Tong Nuonuo's admiring eyes, he said embarrassedly that he was really not that selfless.
If the Poison Spirit Pearl was not completely against his way, he would not have considered it from the perspective of the aliens. In the final analysis, he was still very selfish, and Tang Ru should thank her background.
Xi Yunting, who looked decent, looked so serious that he felt uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and said, "I'll take you to see her now."
There are so many people here at the Youyan Cliff, actually they are all looking for the Poison Spirit Pearl.
Even if they found Tang Ru still alive, it would create signs that she was dead.
Therefore, Chen Xiao and his team do not plan to continue expanding the number of people who know the inside story.
Xi Yunting directly sent a message to Sariam, informing her that he had found Tang Ru and asking her to continue attracting attention here while they went to pick him up.
Friends like them get less attention than immediate family members like Sariam.
Jing Hui was left behind to guard just in case, and the group, led by Li Muye, came to a place hundreds of miles away from the Youyan Cliff.
"This place is actually quite close to the ruins. Even if you don't come, we have to move her after a few days." Li Muye pointed to a cave at the foot of the mountain. "She is there. She should be awake now."
Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo couldn't wait any longer, and rushed over without waiting for Li Muye to lead the way.
The cave was not very deep, and it only took a moment to reach the end. This place should have been cleaned up by Li Muye, and it was quite spacious. There was a stone platform that served as a bed, and Tang Ru was sitting on it with his legs curled up.
"A Rou!" Both of them were overjoyed to see her.
Tang Ru heard his friends' voices, looked up at them, and quickly lowered his head again, hugging his knees. In contrast to the two people's joy, Tang Ru looked extremely sad.
"A Rou, what's wrong with you?" Tong Nuonuo looked at Tang Ru in confusion. Her face was a light blue color, without a trace of blood.
This is actually normal. After experiencing such a thunderstorm, as the center, it is impossible for her not to be injured. The fact that she is still alive is the biggest miracle. She cannot ask for more.
"You finally got rid of Wu Xuzi's control, you should be happy." Chen Xiao also said, "Don't worry about the people of Yanxia Cliff being hostile to you. We have figured out a way to bury you with your name certificate instead, and then find a way to change your identity, and everything will be fine."
Tong Nuonuo nodded vigorously in agreement: "If you are really worried about being implicated in Ali Village, at worst you can just settle down in Taizhen in the future. Xiaoxiao has connections in Yingxian Island and can also speak with the island owner's mansion. No one dares to do anything to you!"
Chen Xiao also said seriously: "At worst, let big brother recommend you to join the Chongxuan Sect as an outer disciple. As long as the recruiter has good vision, there is no way he will not want you."
Xi Yunting came in and heard him say this. He walked over, nodded, and said, "I can personally go and talk to the head of the sect and it won't be a problem to grant you a guest official."
Tang Ru raised his head, looked at the few people with his pale face, and smiled sadly: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't want to go anywhere, you don't have to worry about me, just let me fend for myself here."
Tong Nuonuo said anxiously: "What nonsense! How can we ignore you! Even if you don't want to go with us, you have to go see Sariam, right? She has been worried about you all these days since you had the accident."
This touched Tang Ru's heart. She could no longer pretend to be calm. She almost collapsed and covered her face, crying loudly: "How can I face people? I am no longer a human being!"
Chen Xiao touched her shoulder tentatively. Tang Ru's body trembled, but she did not reject his touch.
This made Chen Xiao feel a little relieved. He softened his voice and said, "A Rou, I know this experience is an indelible nightmare for you. You have suffered a lot and you can't get over it for a while. We all understand. It doesn't matter. You still have friends like us and your relatives and friends in Ali Village..."
Tang Ru was still sobbing, but after hearing what Chen Xiao said, she put her hands down and tried to cry but there were no tears at all on her face, which looked very strange.
"That's not what I meant..." She opened her arms and said while making a wailing sound, "Did you see? I have no tears left!"
Chen Xiao opened his eyes wide in surprise, and Tong Nuonuo also looked stunned.
Xi Yunting understood immediately and said, "Is this caused by Wu Xuzi's transformation of his spiritual roots?"
Tang Ru couldn't cry, but it was more painful than crying loudly. Her chest almost heaved, and she nodded: "Yes! I don't know what he did to me. When I woke up, I was sad and wanted to cry, but I found that I had no tears..."
Tong Nuonuo was somewhat at a loss. He sat down next to Tang Ru, looked at his companions, and said, "I remember the captive said that after being transformed, everyone's body would have something...wrong."
Chen Xiao didn't know how to comfort Tang Ru at this moment. This was not only wrong, but he was also putting it too mildly. His tear glands were completely gone!
Once the floodgates were opened for venting emotions, they poured out. Tang Ru shook her head and said, "If it was just the loss of tears, I wouldn't be so unacceptable." She raised her arm and cut a wound on her body. Purple liquid slowly oozed out of the wound.
Tang Ru said woodenly: "Wu Xuzi told me that I will never be able to marry and have children like a normal person again."
