Chapter 90 Chapter 90 “But the Sect Master likes me and thinks I…
In Taohua An, a pavilion hidden in the peach forest, a woman's angry shouts were heard.
"Let me out! Someone! Let me out!"
Accompanied by the sound of banging on the door, the woman's voice seemed to have been howling for a long time, and she was a little hoarse. After taking a breath, there was another loud "bang"!
The solid wooden door clanged and trembled, and the woman shouted in a hoarse voice, "Let me out! I want to see the masterless. Who gave you the courage to lock me up here? Do you know..."
With a creak, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and Adu's shouting stopped abruptly.
She was stunned at first, then frowned and looked at the person who came.
This person was obviously a disciple of Taohua An. She was dressed in cool clothes and had a charming look. Even under the heavy makeup, one could still see her extremely delicate eyebrows and eyes.
Such qualifications are rare even in Taohua An. Among the people Adu has seen who can match her, apart from Yao Ning of Xuanqing Sect, there is Du Xuandu, the previous saint of Taohua An.
It’s a pity that this person is a man.
Without even raising his eyes, the man put the food on the chopping board onto the table and turned to walk out.
"Stop." Adu said.
The man turned a deaf ear.
Adu stepped forward to block him, but the door slammed shut behind the man, and Adu almost bumped into it.
She shook the door, but couldn't open it no matter whether she used her spiritual power or chopped it with her sword.
Ah Du looked at the shadow of the man on the window paper, who had not yet left, and shouted angrily, "Are you mute?! I said I want to see Du Wuzhu!"
The figure still didn't say a word and walked away after a moment.
All the strength in Adu's body suddenly disappeared, and his shoulders slumped weakly.
That day, it was publicly pointed out that Adu was colluding with the demon world. After leaving, he found that he had nowhere to go, so he simply came to the Peach Blossom Temple in the demon world.
But before she could meet Du Wuzhu, she was imprisoned.
Adu didn't know what happened in Taohua An, and whether imprisoning him was the order of Du Wuzhu, but the world was in chaos because of the chaotic energy, and Shang Linran and Lingfeng were also deeply trapped in it. Adu wanted to do something for Shang Linran and couldn't just sit here and wait to die.
Adu turned around with a gloomy expression and looked at the other person who had been silent in the corner of the room.
"What happened to you? Why did you end up like this?" Adu asked in confusion, "Did you offend Du Wuzhu in some way?"
The figure in the corner remained motionless, as if she hadn't heard anything. The moonlight shone through the tiles and fell on her face, illuminating a beautiful yet dull face.
"Du Xuandu..." Adu sighed, "Don't you want to escape? Why don't you speak?"
Du Xuandu had no expression on his face and said nothing, like a dead object.
"I knew he was cruel, but I didn't expect that after you followed him for so many years, you would end up like this."
Adu sat down next to Du Xuandu, looked at her profile, and tried to communicate with her: "I can't get out of this place now. My cultivation is not enough, but your cultivation is higher than mine. Can you help me?"
"I heard from the former sect leader that you had a connection with Master Kongwen of the Brahma Temple. Now that the Brahma Temple has been suddenly wiped out, don't you want to avenge him?"
Du Xuandu's eyes rolled around, and A'du was delighted. He struck while the iron was hot and said, "Let's work together to escape from here. Whether we confront Du Wuzhu or go to the human world to investigate, it's better than being trapped here and unable to do anything, right?"
Adu looked at Duxuandu expectantly, but Duxuandu fell silent again, as if the reaction just now was just an illusion of Adu.
Adu was suddenly deflated.
She had been imprisoned for three days. Only the man would come to deliver a meal every morning. The rest of the time, there was no one here.
Adu looked at the gray house, the low beams, and the vast darkness in the shabby room, and recalled his life of wandering and wandering, competing with others for food, taking shelter in dilapidated temples, and living in anonymity to avoid the monks of Brahma Temple...
A gloomy emotion surged from his heart. The light in Adu's eyes dimmed and he gasped for breath, trying to break free from the painful and oppressive feeling that was like a quagmire.
She didn't want to be locked up.
If you want to abuse her, try another way.
Don't lock her away like an object.
Adu curled up and hugged his knees.
The second day.
The familiar man came to deliver food again. This time, Adu kept silent from beginning to end. It was not until the man stepped over the threshold with the food in his hand without looking away that Adu spoke.
"I'm Du Wuzhu's biological sister." Her voice was hoarse but steady as she observed the man's expression. "Please help me pass on a message. I owe you a favor."
The man turned his expressionless face towards him. Ah Du calmed down and said gently, "I'm telling you the truth. It's easy to be exposed if you lie to me."
The man looked at A-Du expressionlessly for a long while: "The sect leader's sister?"
"Yes." Adu said calmly.
"That's truly noble," the man said in a flat tone.
Adu didn't know what he was thinking, but she had been following Shang Linran for a while, and had been influenced by him and had picked up some of his way of doing things.
"I don't deserve your honor. I'm just lucky to be born into a good family. I can't compare to your real talent and knowledge. I admire you."
The man stared at Adu for a long time. Just when Adu was feeling nervous, he raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a nice smile.
Adu felt relieved.
But the man turned his wrist, and the food he was holding fell to the ground with the sound of porcelain breaking.
Adu's eyes suddenly tightened.
The man let out an artificial "ah": "I'm so sorry, my hands are not steady, please forgive me, young lady."
Adu knew that this was the attitude of a man, but he didn't know whether this man was so stubborn because of Du Wuzhu's order.
"What a shame! Even though she is the Sect Master's biological sister, with such a noble status, she still has to pick up food from the ground to eat today."
The man was about to leave after saying this.
"How dare you do this to me!" A fierce look flashed across Adu's face, and he kicked over the chair next to him. "He's just a male cultivator from Taohua An!"
Adu knew that the man probably couldn't break through here, and cursed in anger.
But the man stopped at this moment.
He turned around slowly, his beautiful eyes and brows filled with viciousness.
Adu swallowed and couldn't help but take two steps back under such a gaze.
"I don't dare to do this to you?" The male cultivator sneered, "Is it because you are also a descendant of the Hehuan Sect, or the lover of the head of the righteous Lingfeng Land, or the illegitimate offspring of the monks of the Brahma Temple?"
Ah Du's face suddenly darkened, and the man spoke to himself, "Male cultivators at Peach Blossom Temple are naturally more embarrassed than female cultivators. But if you knew I was the current Saint, wouldn't you look down on me even more?"
Adu opened his eyes wide in surprise: "But, but you clearly..."
"Yes, I am a man." The man smiled, with a hint of cruelty in his smile. "But the Sect Master likes me and thinks I served well, so he rewarded me with the position of Saint. I can't help but feel extremely grateful."
Adu felt the despair and madness beneath the man's smile. He said he was grateful, but his expression was clearly one of embarrassment and humiliation. Adu thought of his past experiences and couldn't help blaming himself for speaking too quickly. He could only purse his lips.
The man quickly calmed down, glanced at Ah Du, and said coldly, "Although I am the Sect Master's new love, the two girls are the only ones he cares about most. You just think you are imprisoned here, but you don't know how much effort the Sect Master has put in to protect you."
"Wait." Adu was puzzled. "You said Du Wuzhu imprisoned us to protect us. Why? What exactly happened?"
The man shook his head: "The world is about to change. You are so lucky, just stay here."
"What's happening?" Ah Du slammed the door and said anxiously, "Don't leave yet, hey!"
The man's figure left again. A'Du dejectedly put down his hand, standing there in a daze for a long time. Suddenly, he turned and walked towards Du Xuandu: "He said that things are going to change? Why? You've been with Du Wuzhu for so long, you should know something about it, right?"
"You, don't you want to go out?" Adu thought anxiously, "If the demon world changes, what about the human world? There are still surviving monks in the Brahma Temple. Don't you want to protect Master Kongwen's disciples?"
However, all she got in response was Du Xuandu's silence and dead stillness.
Adu sat down dejectedly.
Things are about to change. Adu tried to think about what big things would happen in the demon world now, which could be described as "changing the world"?
Yao Ning was rescued by the Demon Lord and brought back to the Demon Realm, but all the righteous sects spread rumors that she was the master of destruction. Could it be that Du Wuzhu thought that Yao Ning would bring disaster to the Demon Realm, just like the disaster that wiped out the Brahma Temple?
No.
Adu quickly rejected it. If that was the case, the Demon Lord was not a fool.
Adu frowned and thought for a long time, but he knew too little information to piece together a conclusion.
She thought of that man, Du Wuzhu's new favorite. He seemed to have many dissatisfactions, not just with his own identity.
Adu scratched his head.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another day came to an end. The sunlight completely disappeared from the window, and the house was plunged into darkness where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
Adu opened his eyes wide in the darkness, but could not catch any light.
Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and deep-buried memories surged back: the small, dark room, the beatings, the insults, the damp, cold ground, the sticky tears streaming down her neck...
She finally saw the sun from the dim and lightless place, but why did she fall into darkness again in the blink of an eye?
Adu snapped his fingers nervously, the light in his eyes fading away bit by bit.
The second day.
The man walked out of the house and breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
Adu seemed to realize that no matter how noisy he was, he would not be able to go out and would not be able to see Du Wuzhu. This time he was particularly well-behaved. After he went in, he just looked at him quietly with a weird smile.
The man shuddered when he thought of that smile.
For some reason, Adu's smile had a frightening cruelty, like a lone wolf that ate raw meat and drank blood.
The man felt that Adu's smile was very similar to Du Wuzhu's to some extent, except that Du Wuzhu's cruelty was hidden, while Adu was more like a wolf cub who was not very worldly and did not know how to hide his knowledge.
A faint feeling of disgust emerged in the man's heart.
He sighed and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that after all the effort to climb up here, I would end up serving tea and water to others. Even my last hope would be shattered."
He looked at the courtyard dyed red by the setting sun, shook his head and said, "The sun is setting, there is no way to save it."
The man suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he repeated in disbelief: "The sun is setting, the sun is setting..."
The setting sun painted the earth orange and red, and the evening breeze gently swayed the willows in the courtyard.
A chill rose from the soles of the man's feet.
dusk.
He had clearly brought breakfast to the two people in the room, so why was it dusk now?
The man turned suddenly and rushed towards the house where Adu was.
The lattice door opened with a bang, and he met the woman's cold and cruel eyes.
Adu spat out a mouthful of blood and spoke each word clearly, as if it was an order that could not be disobeyed.
"Now, sit down and tell me everything you know."
