Nianshu stood up from his seat and said, "There wasn't a three-way intersection when we came up here. There were only two roads, one on the left and one on the right. We all chose the right one."
"The end of the road on the right is this large manor, but after we entered, we found that there were not many signs of people living here." Jiang Yiming continued to answer. He looked around at the people present, his face solemn. "We thought we would run into human cultivators living in the royal city, but there are no demons or humans here."
"We originally thought they would take the path on the left, and planned to stay here for the night and continue exploring tomorrow. We didn't expect you to bring such news."
Jiang Yiming's aunt married the eldest son of a family in the demon world. Now that he encountered such a strange phenomenon, he became more and more anxious.
The Wanzhen Sect disciple then said, "A mountain like Wanjie Mountain, which has its own spiritual veins, would overflow with purple-blue spiritual energy if a spiritual gathering array were set up on the top. However, Wanjie Mountain doesn't have that. There must be something strange going on!"
"Regarding that fork in the road, it's probably because our two groups entered at different times, so what we encountered was also different. After all, that place was where the Demon Queen lived, so it's normal for it to be a little strange."
A sect disciple was analyzing the situation in a serious manner. He wasn't entirely sure, but in an occasion like this, their sect couldn't remain silent. He saw Xiong Qi, still in his bear form, and Song Xunbai, who had two furry ears sprouting from his head. His eyes lit up, and when he saw everyone looking in his direction, he coughed, feigning composure as he continued his analysis.
"It could also be that we are all human, and you, Brother Xiong, are from the demon tribe. Only demons can see the main road."
After hearing this man's analysis, everyone fell into deep thought, then nodded, and many people agreed with his opinion.
Yan Baibai smiled and said nothing more. She knew that they were able to reach the top of the mountain because of Jueqing Fuzi's presence, but since others could find a reason for it, she didn't need to make another one. Judging from Jueqing Fuzi's state, it seemed that he didn't want others to go up and see the place filled with memories of him and Tu Shanqing.
Then everyone discussed what to do tomorrow. The moon was rising high in the sky, and everyone's faces showed fatigue. They had spent the whole day in fear. The spiritual energy of the Wanjie Mountain was thin, and the disciples of the sect could not bear it even if they had high cultivation levels.
Although the villa is very large, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, everyone still stipulates that people from the same sect must stay in one place so that they can look after each other. Soon after, everyone left the meeting hall.
Soon, there were only a few people left in the hall.
"Saint Bai, please live in the same room with me." Nianshu walked forward and took Yan Baibai's hand, looking at Yan Baibai with hope in his eyes.
"No!" Song Xunbai and Lu Wuxiu refused at the same time.
"Ahem, Saint Bai came to the demon world at the invitation of my demon clan, so we should take care of her." Song Xunbai straightened his back and said, "Fellow Daoist Nian, you've been tired all day. Go back and have a good rest. We still have a lot to do tomorrow."
"I'll do it." Lu Wuxiu didn't say much. He just flashed to Yan Baibai's side and pulled her into his arms.
"You!" Nianshu's face was full of astonishment, not because she was surprised that the masked man in front of her was familiar or something. Shortly after entering the conference hall, she noticed that the black-clothed man who had been standing behind Junior Sister Yan was somewhat familiar. When she looked again, she saw that the man had been looking at Junior Sister Yan, and the way he kept looking at her was exactly the same as Junior Brother Lu Wuxiu. What was there for her not to understand?
This person is Junior Brother Lu Wuxiu who has disappeared for a long time. He and his junior sister disappeared without a trace after the battle in the Hidden Demon Sea!
Of course, what shocked Nianshu was not that Lu Wuxiu was still alive. After all, his junior sister whose soul lamp was extinguished was not dead yet, let alone his junior brother Lu?
What astonished her was that Junior Brother Lu Wuxiu's aura, momentum, and cultivation had all changed, becoming more powerful and secretive, which was not what a young cultivator should have at all.
After reading and thinking carefully, she thought that Junior Brother Lu must have had some adventure during the years he disappeared, but she couldn't imagine what kind of adventure could cause a person to change so much.
In this place with low spiritual energy, Lu Wuxiu was not affected at all. He easily pushed away Nianshu's hand that was on Yan Baibai, and then pulled Yan Baibai into his arms.
Of course, there was also the reason why he let go of her hand because of reading. If she resisted, Lu Wuxiu would naturally have to spend some effort.
Nianshu originally wanted to take advantage of the time when she was in the same room with Yan Baibai to ask some questions she wanted to know, but now she was stopped. Knowing that it was Lu Wuxiu, she naturally would not object, as she had done before and as she did now.
But looking at Lu Wuxiu's attitude, Nianshu didn't believe that she would let go. To be honest, Nianshu felt a little uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but think of the experience under Bingxian City. Because Leng Shuo seriously injured Junior Sister Yan, in order to save people, Lu Wuxiu revealed his identity as a demon. At that time, he didn't even dare to call them "senior brothers and sisters". Even when he wanted to feed Junior Sister medicine, he had to pull out his own demon claws.
At that time, the young man exuded extreme self-loathing and inferiority from the inside out. He did not believe that his senior brothers and sisters would accept him as a demon.
Even though he was like this, he was unwilling to give up Junior Sister Yan. It was as if he would also be sad and upset for being abandoned by others. The only person he was unwilling to let go of was Junior Sister Yan - no matter what image he had in Junior Sister Yan's heart.
Nianshu believed that Lu Wuxiu already knew that she recognized him, but he was still like this and was unwilling to give up his junior sister to her for one night. No matter how happy she was to see him and his junior sister together, she felt a little sad in her heart.
