Chapter 349
"How vicious you are!" Fuxue stared at the bamboo basket in her hand, took two steps back, and then raised her head arrogantly, "Hmph! You can't beat this holy maiden."
Upon hearing this, the other beauties who had remained silent spoke up: "What if we were added to the list?"
Fu Xue gritted her teeth.
This group of people come from wealthy families, each with a powerful background, and possess a wealth of treasures. If they were to face her, they would likely suffer a lot.
Most importantly...
She was very wary of the Gu worms in the bamboo basket.
What if they break the rules and attack her, making her ugly? How will she live?
Zhu Ping'an smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Fuxue, the other sisters meant well. If Sister Fuxue reveals who 'she' is today, the other sisters will all follow you as their leader from now on."
As soon as she finished speaking, the other beauties either raised their eyebrows or gave her a cold glance, but none of them denied it.
Fu Xue's eyes brightened slightly, but she still stared warily at the bamboo basket. After a moment's thought, she spoke:
"This holy maiden needs to ask her opinion; you don't want to put her in a difficult position, do you?"
“Of course!” Zhu Ping’an nodded, then frowned and reminded Fu Xue, “There’s a small flower petal in your hair, sister. I’m afraid it might be a little inappropriate.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she took a step closer to Fuxue. The moment she reached out, a pink wisp flew from her fingertips toward Fuxue.
Unfortunately, Fuxue was so disgusted that she retreated in panic and didn't notice that she took out a small mirror and personally picked off the petal with her hands and threw it away.
After doing all that, Fuxue said unhappily, "If you have something to say, say it. Don't get physical!"
Zhu Ping'an wasn't embarrassed; she just glanced meaningfully at the discarded petals as she withdrew her hand.
"I'll go ask her if she's willing, and I'll tell you when I get back. Don't you dare attack me, or I'll make you pay!" Fu Xue stared at the bamboo basket. "Especially you disgusting insect!"
The pretty girl muttered softly, "What's disgusting about it? It's so cute!" But she still hung the small bamboo basket back on her waist, indicating that she wouldn't sneak up on him.
The other beauties nodded in agreement, and only then did Fuxue leave with peace of mind.
"Will she really ask?" the pretty young girl wondered.
Zhu Ping'an countered, "If the older sisters were Sister Fuxue, would they ask 'her'?"
Upon hearing this, the other beauties' eyes flickered slightly, some lowering their gazes to conceal their presence, others averting their eyes, but none of them responded.
"Therefore, the initiative must be in our hands." Zhu Ping'an stared at the spot where Fuxue had left.
"What's the meaning?"
"I never hide anything from you older sisters, and you all know that I am the eldest daughter of the Immortal Cauldron Pavilion. There are countless treasures in this world, but only those appraised by the Immortal Cauldron Pavilion can be called treasures." Zhu Ping'an blinked her almond-shaped eyes mischievously at the probing gazes of the crowd. "The Immortal Cauldron Pavilion has plenty of treasures."
The pretty young girl raised an eyebrow, deep in thought: "Is it that flower?"
Zhu Ping'an smiled and said, "Sister is so smart."
Unaware of anything, Fuxue had already appeared at Half Moon Peak. She straightened her clothes before shyly stepping into the room that had been opened for her.
The woman at the table was pushing a cup of tea toward the person opposite her, but there was no one there.
He was obviously waiting for her!
"You always seem to anticipate my arrival. Is it because you've imprinted your divine sense on me?"
She sat down with a pleasing air and picked up her teacup.
But then she saw Ling Wu reach out her fingertips towards her, as if to touch her cheek.
Without thinking, Fuxue blushed and took the initiative to touch those cool and beautiful fingertips, and shyly said, "I'm a little shy."
Lingwu paused slightly, and before Fuxue could react, she reached out and took a small pink petal from her hair.
She turned her palm over, showing it to Fuxue.
"Huh? Didn't I throw these petals away?" Fuxue frowned as she took them. "A top-grade tracking item."
The next moment, Lingwu heard her exclaim with delight: "You really left a trace on me!"
"..."
Lingwu shook her head and drank her tea.
Fu Xue hesitated, and the smile on her lips turned cold. "They really are persistent."
"they?"
"Cough, no, it's nothing." Fuxue lowered her head, took a sip of tea, and said, "Good tea! By the way, I had a lot of wine stored up at my place, which I wanted to bring to you. But I got distracted just now and forgot about it."
Lingwu did not answer, because she not only sensed the aura of the flower petal's owner, but also the person beside that owner.
And these people were all familiar faces.
At this moment, they had reached Half Moon Peak.
Lingwu paused, put down the tea, and stood up.
"Where are you going? Wait for me!" Fuxue quickly followed.
Ling Wu's voice held a hint of a sigh: "Welcome guests."
"Welcome..." guests?
Before she could finish speaking, Fuxue saw the group of beauties she had just parted ways with.
"You've been following this holy maiden!"
Zhu Ping'an smiled sweetly: "It's just a coincidence. The sisters have long admired the Immortal Venerable and all have something to ask of him, which is why they are here."
"What could you possibly want?" Fu Xue asked coldly.
As they spoke, no one looked at her; all eyes were on Ling Wu.
The aloof woman said, "It turns out that the person I admire and the person I love are the same person."
The pretty young girl said, "Immortal Venerable Half Moon, my Gu worms are sick. I would like to ask you to take a look at what's wrong."
"Immortal Venerable, I have encountered a knot in my heart during my cultivation, and only you can untie it."
"I've been looking for you for so long, why do you always leave after saving me? Are you very busy? I can help you with your worries."
"..."
Upon seeing this, Zhu Ping'an also said, "Immortal Venerable, you and Ping'an met a few years ago, do you remember?"
As soon as she said it, she regretted leaving with only her autograph.
Their gazes were intense, and Ling Wu nodded to each of them before saying, "I will go and prepare tea for you first."
She turned and left, leaving a group of people staring at each other awkwardly. They then found a place to sit down, and the atmosphere became tense.
As Ling Wu left them, she ran into Bai Yushi and stared at him for a long time, a rare occurrence for her.
The boy wore a headband that covered the extremely insulting word "slave," making him appear even more otherworldly.
He looked like he had just taken a shower; his hair was damp, and his clean clothes smelled of soap.
Bai Yu, who was being stared at, blushed as if he had thought of something.
He lowered his head, his tone cautious: "Immortal Venerable, is there something on my face?"
"No," Ling Wu replied, stepping past him.
But then she stopped beside him, her brow furrowing slightly. "Are you injured? Why are you covered in blood?"
The blush on Bai Yu's face faded instantly, as if hinted at by these words, and she caught a faint, greasy smell of rust.
"I took a wrong turn in my cultivation, so I bit my tongue to clear my mind. Perhaps that's why," he explained.
He regretted not washing away the blood of the sacrificed person.
He'll have to be more careful next time, lest he encounter another desperate ant.
"You must have gone through many hardships to reach your current level with the four spiritual roots. I cannot do it for you, nor can I truly understand it." Ling Wu paused before continuing, "I know your past hardships, but I still wish you to move forward with an open mind and not go astray."
Bai Yu initially responded in his heart: "Master, you don't need to treat your disciple so well."
When the words "Don't go astray" were uttered, his face, which had regained some color, turned pale again, and his fingers curled up but dared not clench.
Did Master know that he was the one who killed those people?
But he had carefully checked those people, and they were all people who deserved to die. Even if his master knew, he would forgive him, right?
And he was absolutely certain that those people were dead beyond dead!
After her usual scare of Bai Yu, Ling Wu changed the subject: "We have guests. Go and prepare tea."
These guests were all his old friends.
