Senior brother is injured? And what is that ferocious beast?
This was the first useful piece of news they heard since they arrived, but it wasn't good news.
"Don't panic. Let's follow them and see where Lu Qinglan is. We'll ask him and we'll find out," Zhang Xu comforted her.
When they arrived at the Hehuan Sect, the disciples avoided them like the plague, as if they were some kind of monstrous flood. This obvious avoidance was clearly suspicious, and they couldn't get any information they wanted, so they had to act in secret.
The patrolling group didn't notice the two people following behind them at all, and chatted idly as they walked.
"Lu Qinglan probably doesn't know that Rong Yue has also joined the Hehuan Sect!"
"How could he know that he was already half-dead!"
"That's good too. When we achieve great things, no one will stop us," he said, somewhat smugly.
"This time we will definitely be able to crush Yuqingshan."
Seeing that they had been chatting for a long time without saying anything useful, Rong Yue became a little impatient. With a heavy heart, she casually took out a few talismans and threw them out.
The group was still chatting idly, unaware of the aura emanating from beneath their feet. The person behind them gradually drifted away from the group. By the time they realized what was happening, the last person in the group was simply following stiffly, carrying a lantern.
"Hey, Xunluo, pay attention!" the man in front said, pointing at the last person with some dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, I know, senior sister!"
As the procession receded into the distance, Zhang Xu looked at the people at her feet, bewildered: "What are you doing?"
The person was still unconscious, looking as if they were having a sweet dream.
Rong Yue surveyed her surroundings, then cast a protective barrier to wake the man. Grabbing his neck, she said fiercely, "Tell me, where is Lu Qinglan?"
Rong Yue changed her voice and disguised her appearance. Before the patrolling disciple could react, he suddenly woke up when he heard her question and opened his mouth to howl loudly.
"Help! We're under attack!"
She called out for a long time but received no response. Instead, the two people beside her looked at her fiercely, as if they wanted to devour her.
The disciple shrank back and said, "I don't know!"
Rong Yue's beautiful eyes darted around, and without hesitation, she dislocated one of her arms. A bloodcurdling scream immediately rang out, the heart-wrenching sound sending shivers down Zhang Xu's spine!
Isn't she supposed to be a pure, innocent, saintly heroine? How could she be so ruthless?
Rong Yue had no time to consider Zhang Xu's thoughts, and only gripped her other arm: "If you don't tell me, I'll break another arm. After that, there are legs, and after that, there's the neck..."
Hearing Rong Yue's sinister voice, which sounded like a demon king taking lives, the disciple was so frightened that he trembled and wet himself.
"Northwest, Yunyunyunyan Pavilion."
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Amidst her screams, Rong Yue reattached her severed arm, slapped two talismans on her body, and then dragged her aside, following the direction he had indicated.
Zhang Xu followed behind her, feeling a chill run down her spine! How could her character have completely collapsed? Or did Rong Yue go astray at Yuqing Mountain?
Waaaaah, how did that well-behaved and kind-hearted heroine become so evil?
Rong Yue didn't notice what Zhang Xu was thinking. She was just looking at the stars in the sky, trying to find her way. When she realized that Zhang Xu hadn't spoken for a long time, she asked in confusion, "Xu Xu, what's wrong?"
Zhang Xu wiped away non-existent cold sweat: "No! Let's go find our senior brother!"
"Xuxu, don't worry, you'll always be my good Xuxu!" Rong Yue didn't know what Zhang Xu was afraid of, but she was clearly much happier after learning about Lu Qinglan's news.
Zhang Xu could only manage an awkward laugh, unaware that Rong Yue was muttering under her breath, "I would never lay a hand on you!"
Rong Yue's voice was too soft for Zhang Xu to hear clearly. Just as she was about to ask what she had said, a huge pavilion stood before them. A golden plaque on the pavilion read "Yunyan Pavilion"!
"We're here!" Rong Yue's eyes lit up.
This Cloud and Mist Pavilion, however, uses an even more complex formation!
However, these things couldn't stop the two who had cheat codes. Xiao Mumu easily tore a hole in the barrier and hopped around on the spot.
The two followed Xiao Mumu inside and saw that the building was brightly lit and filled with people.
"Senior brother!"
Seeing Rong Yue rush over, Zhang Xu felt that she, as a third wheel, was getting in the way. After thinking for a moment, she went outside and stayed there, giving the two of them enough space.
Zhang Xu squatted down and drew circles on the spot. Two people in front of her were being affectionate, and although they were a bit far away, their voices still drifted over intermittently. Just as she was about to cover her ears, she heard a sound.
Lu Qinglan: "You brought her here?"
These two haven't seen each other for many days, and instead of sharing their feelings, why bring up her, an outsider?
Just as she was about to strain her ears to hear what was going on, she saw Xiao Mumu hop in front of her, and with a wave of her little hand, the sound from that direction became clear.
While Zhang Xu was still in surprise, she saw Xiao Mumu proudly put her hands on her hips, ready to praise her.
That's just childish thinking.
She heard Rong Yue say, "Senior brother, I believe you, but you must ensure her safety. She's my only remaining family."
Are Xuxu and Rongyue related by blood?
No wonder Rong Yue was kind and gentle to outsiders, yet allowed Xu Xu to run rampant under her control and did nothing about it; now I understand why.
Before Zhang Xu could even process what Lu Qinglan was saying, she heard Lu Qinglan say, "It's best if they're with us. There are too many uncontrollable factors with Yan Chenghuan."
Lu Qinglan's voice sounded strong and energetic, showing no signs of being injured.
What are they planning here?
"That puts my mind at ease," Rong Yue said.
They even plotted against themselves! No wonder they didn't do anything to Yan Chenghuan before; it turns out they were all here. Zhang Xu's heart stirred, and she was about to leave.
A beam of light suddenly shone over, and Xiao Mumu cried out and shrank back into Zhang Xu's arms. Zhang Xu stood up and saw the radiant Lu Qinglan, bathed in moonlight, striding towards them.
But he had a rosy complexion and an upright posture, showing no signs of injury.
Seemingly realizing that this was a trap, Zhang Xu stood up and tried to run away.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Qinglan brought Xiao Mumu into his hand.
Hearing Xiao Mumu's screams, Zhang Xu's face immediately darkened: "What are you doing!"
Lu Qinglan carefully tucked Xiao Mumu into her sleeve.
"Don't worry, young lady, I won't hurt it. I just need to trouble you to stay here for a while."
Sensing the surge of spiritual energy around them, the invisible barrier seemed to become more resilient.
All this effort was just to trap someone as useless as her here? What are these people after?!
Rong Yue looked at her with a guilty expression, but she firmly supported Lu Qinglan's actions.
"Xuxu, don't worry, Xiaomu will be fine. We'll return it to you once everything is settled."
Knowing that she wouldn't be harmed, Zhang Xu felt relieved for the time being, but judging from the situation, she probably wouldn't be able to escape anyway.
Seeing that the attic was fully equipped, he figured he wouldn't be shortchanged, so he immediately found a stool and sat down: "Alright! You guys go ahead and get busy."
Rong Yue and Lu Qinglan looked at each other, seemingly shocked that she had compromised so easily without any resistance. They had thought there would be some kind of conflict.
That's it?
To confirm that Zhang Xu was truly willing to confine herself, Rong Yue asked uncertainly, "Are you really not going to run away?"
Zhang Xu rolled her eyes, spread her hands, and said, "Do you think I can go out looking like this? With Xiao Mumu in your hands, where can I go?"
