Chapter 123 Another Blue Confidant
Xie Mingzhu's plan was not very clever. She intended to blend into the patrol team, and after successfully leaving the cave, she would find a chance to escape from other people's sight and slip away.
But she didn't consider whether others would risk their lives to look for her because of her disappearance.
She also didn't think about how long she could survive in the secret realm full of dangers with her current strength and without the protection of others.
Xie Mingzhu's smooth life in the previous life made her lose her ability to judge danger.
Her previous experience of easily obtaining treasures from secret realms also made Xie Mingzhu forget that the battles in the world of cultivation were actually filled with countless bloodshed.
If it were someone else who had a good impression of Xie Mingzhu, they would definitely give her a few kind reminders at this time.
But the person who knew how she was planning to die was Xie Liuyin. As a person who had lost his life due to the other party's trick, Xie Liuyin just wanted to see if this person could trick him to death.
She simply ended her retreat, quietly found Qiu Yu, and told him that she was leaving the cave to look for the treasure.
Qiu Yu was prepared for this, and was not angry when she heard that Xie Liuyin was leaving alone.
She only asked seriously: "Is Junior Master ready?"
"Don't worry, I have planned everything. Just like I said before, I will come back safely." Xie Liuyin assured.
Qiu Yu pursed her lips and glanced at Xie Liuyin reluctantly: "Little Master, you are stubborn. I know I can't stop you. I just hope you can come back unharmed."
"It's a little difficult to come back unscathed, but I promise I can come back with all my hands and feet intact." Xie Liuyin smiled at Qiu Yu soothingly, then left quickly under her gaze.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and Xie Mingzhu, who had been eager to take action for many days, finally took action.
She had agreed with someone during the day that they would go on patrol together tonight, and a female cultivator who was supposed to be on patrol today gave up her spot to her.
The sky outside had just darkened and the patrol was about to set off.
Xie Mingzhu packed her luggage in advance and followed the team out of the cave.
It was also at this time that Xie Mingzhu finally saw the outside world for the first time after half a month.
A strong smell of blood could be smelled everywhere. Not far away lay the corpses of several monsters, which looked as if they had just died not long ago.
Xie Mingzhu couldn't stand the smell and couldn't help frowning.
At this time in her previous life, she had already known Yan Xiujun and others. They cared about her very much and would rather lose their own opportunities than let her get the treasure.
Therefore, Xie Mingzhu was protected by several people from beginning to end. Not to mention the danger, she didn't even see many monsters, as they had been dealt with by others long ago.
Xie Mingzhu, who was protected so carefully, got what she wanted without even touching the edge of danger, and didn't feel any danger at all.
Even in this life, Xie Mingzhu was mostly protected. When she was besieged by monsters from behind, she hid at the back of the crowd and never faced the attacks of the monsters.
This explains why Xie Mingzhu misjudged the degree of danger in the secret realm.
After attaching a concealing talisman to himself, Xie Liuyin followed behind Xie Mingzhu, watching her survive as she plunged headfirst into a melee between several monsters.
With the idea of not letting the treasure-hunting mouse die prematurely, Xie Liuyin originally planned to take action to protect her life temporarily. Unexpectedly, before she could draw her sword, someone rescued Xie Mingzhu first.
The man swung his sword quickly, leaving a dazzling cold light in the night.
Different from Xie Liuyin's unrivaled sword style, this man's sword was more sharp and cold, and it seemed that there was a hint of wind and snow when the sword was drawn.
"Girl, are you okay?" After forcing back the monsters, the swordsman sheathed his sword and turned to look at Xie Mingzhu.
Xie Liuyin, who had almost taken a step forward, immediately hid in the dark, because she recognized at a glance that the person who helped Xie Mingzhu was Yan Xiujun, whom she had met not long ago!
I have to say that Xie Mingzhu and her close male friends are really destined to be together.
In such a large secret realm, you can encounter them one after another.
Compared to Xie Liuyin's sigh, Xie Mingzhu, who saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, was filled with joy.
She thought that she would not be able to see Yan Xiujun in the secret realm this time, but she did not expect that the two would meet in such a situation.
Thinking of Yan Xiujun's question just now, Xie Mingzhu quickly said: "I'm fine, thank you very much, fellow Taoist. May I ask what your name is?"
"I am a disciple of the Sword Holding Sect. Which sect are you from, young lady? Why are you walking alone in the secret realm? Don't you know that the secret realm is very dangerous at this time?" Yan Xiujun asked with concern.
There was nothing on Xie Mingzhu that could identify her as a sect, so Yan Xiuyun guessed that she was probably a casual cultivator who had the good fortune to get a pass.
But Xie Mingzhu fiddled with her messy hair and quickly replied, "I am the disciple of Qingxiao Sect's Chaoyun Zhenjun. The reason why I am walking alone in the secret realm is, well, a long story."
Xie Mingzhu is beautiful and speaks in a soft and gentle voice.
When Yan Xiujun was in the Sword Holding Sect, all he saw were senior and junior sisters who were holding swords and fighting with others all day long. He had never seen such a gentle female cultivator.
Inexplicably, Yan Xiuyun felt a little soft in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist, have you run into any trouble? Why don't you tell me about it?" He asked carefully, choosing his words.
Xie Mingzhu forced herself to raise the corners of her mouth, with a pitiful expression: "It's nothing, it's just that my sister and I joined the same sect, and because I was weak since childhood, my parents cared a little more about me, and she was a little unhappy about it."
"Did she kick you out of the Qing Xiao Sect's team?" After hearing Xie Mingzhu's explanation, Yan Xiujun immediately remembered that he had run into the Qing Xiao Sect's team when he was in that palace before.
He didn't see Xie Mingzhu among the group of people at that time, so he thought that the other party had separated from the people from Qingxiao Sect long ago.
Hearing this, Xie Mingzhu looked as if her situation had been exposed, and turned her head away: "Don't say that, my sister just has some misunderstandings about me. My cultivation is not high, and staying in the team will only cause trouble for them. It is right for me to leave."
"They are going too far. Since we are from the same school, shouldn't we support each other? Tell me who your sister is. If I meet her in the future, I will definitely help you get justice!" Yan Xiujun promised, patting his chest.
Xie Liuyin, who was far away, almost laughed out loud as she listened to their conversation.
How come she didn't know that Xie Mingzhu was so good at speaking before? She avoided the important point so much. Strictly speaking, what Xie Mingzhu said was not wrong.
At this moment, Xie Liuyin finally understood why those men in her previous life had been targeting her like crazy.
If anyone's loved one was treated like this by someone else, they would probably teach the other person a lesson.
The conversation between the two continued. Yan Xiujun, who was moved by Xie Mingzhu, promised to protect Xie Mingzhu without thinking.
Xie Mingzhu pretended to be surprised, and then naturally led the other party towards the northern snowfield.
Xie Liuyin knew that was where the secret treasure was hidden.
