Yun Xian finally received special treatment and a luxurious multi-person cell.
The other guests, elders and stewards all had single rooms, so only she could play games happily with her friends.
"What does this mean?" Yun Xian sat on the small wooden bed and said confidently, "The young lady has me in her heart. She let me stay here because there were no more guest rooms."
Qi Zhiye: "...you go out and try."
Yun Xian: "Just give it a try!"
She walked out with a proud and confident look on her face, and bumped head-on into Tiedan's pectoral muscles, almost suffocating to death.
Tiedan asked, "Fellow Daoist Yun, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going out for some fresh air." Yun Xian said calmly, "I haven't eaten for half an hour. I'm really hungry."
Tiedan shook his head and said, "It's best not to go out. The headmaster is handling things right now."
It is said that we are dealing with things, but what should be dealt with is not "things".
It's best not to go out, but it probably means you're not allowed to go out.
Yun Xian said, "I'm going out! I won't talk to you. Ask Ji Rongxue to come."
Tiedan said, "The headmaster is very busy."
Yun Xian angrily said, "He Zhilin! You didn't treat me like this back then! I worked like a slave for your Ji family, even getting my face swollen from being beaten! What do you mean by locking me up now?! This is too much!!"
"..." Tiedan's eyes were moved, and he was even touched and said, "Fellow Daoist Yun, you actually... still remember my name. I really... don't know what to say..."
Yun Xian: "Then let me out."
Tiedan: "It's better not to go out."
Yun Xian almost fainted from anger on the spot. He staggered back to the wooden bed and lay down.
It was so quiet in the multi-person cell that you could hear a pin drop. Silence was Cambridge tonight.
Actually, Ji Rongxue's placement was quite scientific, because in addition to Yun, Su, Qiao, Feng, Qi, and Xue, there were two and a half people.
One is Jiang Lancui, one is Ji Shang who lies in Qiu Mo's shell and doesn't want to come out, and the other half is an empty shell of Ji Shang.
I don't know what Ji Shang is thinking, he just keeps his eyes open and doesn't say anything. It would be fine if Qiu Mo's shell is still good, but he's almost turned into a zombie, it looks really scary!
Jiang Lancui had always disliked them, so she laughed and said, "Look at the kind of friends you make. Others invite you as guests, but she invites you to jail. Haha, hahahaha..."
"What are you laughing at?" Xue Lingxiu smiled and said, "Why didn't your father take you with him when he left? Was he too short to see?"
Jiang Lan urged: "What did you say?"
Those who looked at the sky looked at the sky, and those who looked at the earth looked at the earth, all of them were thinking.
Finally, Xue Lingxiu caught someone shorter than him. He had to brag about it to vent his anger.
Qiao Lingshan sat next to Yun Xian, feeling genuinely unhappy. She muttered, "At least tell us why. Would we not help her?"
Yun Xian said: "Lingshan, don't be angry."
Qiao Lingshan: "I'm not angry. I just don't understand."
Yun Xian saw that her lips were almost pouting to the sky, but she wasn't angry yet. She said, "It's understandable. Now is a critical moment, and success is only one step away - of course, it would be best to have complete control over everything.
What's more, there is someone among them who is obviously very wrong.
Why did Ji Shang become possessed by the devil? She was in such a state now that she definitely couldn't tell anyone. Who had leaked the demonic book? There must be traces of the devil within the Body Refining Sect. One move could affect the entire sect. Ji Rongxue had to first consolidate her power as the sect leader and worry about so many other things, so naturally she had no time to care about them.
Of course, that made sense. But Yun Xian had a feeling that Ji Rongxue didn't want to meet anyone. Wasn't it easy to control her?
Simply put, she inexplicably felt that Ji Rongxue was avoiding them.
Although she didn't know why, the eldest lady's thoughts were too difficult to guess, and it had been like this since a long time ago.
"Hey." Jiang Lan urged from the other end, "Hey there, do you know who that mysterious person was?"
Yun Xian said, "You still haven't figured it out yet?"
"How do you expect me to tell?" Jiang Lan said angrily, "I've been in jail since I came to the Body Refining Sect, and I only just got out!"
"..." Yun Xian said: "Sorry. I forgot you were so unlucky. Haha!"
Qiao Lingshan's attention was also drawn to this, and she frowned and asked, "Just now, was that Senior Xiao? What happened?"
Things weren't that complicated. Xiao Wu was originally from the Northern Realm, but for some reason, she left the Northern Realm and traveled to the Eastern Realm, determined to find a better sword technique to improve her martial arts deficiencies. She met Yun Lang, then a young and handsome man with no gray hair on his temples. She was immediately struck by his beauty and fell in love with him—
Swordsmanship.
Yes. That's right. The sword technique was the unimproved Qingyan Point Pattern, which was different from what the two had taught Yun Xian.
In order to learn this sword technique, Xiao Wu used all kinds of strange tricks and fought with Yun Lang all the way to Jiange. During the period, he beat Yun Lang three times a day. Finally, he learned it and was ready to leave.
Yun Lang was devastated. He had always believed that Xiao Wu's constant presence, her insistence on following him, and her constant visits to him for martial arts practice every day, were signs of interest. He had even thought of the flowers he wanted to use when forming a Taoist partner, and now Xiao Wu was saying she was just envious of his swordsmanship! This was a bolt from the blue!
The flowing water is ruthless, but the falling flowers are affectionate. After the clichéd pursuit, Xiao Wu stayed in Jiange to continue studying swordsmanship. Yun Xian actually saw his mother far less often in Jiange than his father when he was little, because Xiao Wu was always out and about, occasionally taking a long journey every few years. Now that he thinks about it, he might have gone to the Northern Realm. Even though Nan Ronghong didn't want to see her, she went anyway.
Two years ago, exactly one year before this Four-Party War, Xiao Wu was injured and lay down for a long time after returning.
"I guess that's when we went to put the sack on Qiu Mo." Yun Xian said, "Master Qiu is really strong. He can fight four people at once without losing."
But she kept thinking about one question.
If that's the case, how could Xiao Wu, who frequently roams the four realms, not know about the dire situation in the Eastern Realm? So why didn't she speak up? Was it because even if she knew, speaking up wouldn't change anything and would only cause panic? What exactly was she investigating?
Forget it. I'm behind bars now, I'll ask him when I get out.
She didn't know where Jiang Fengtian had escorted the two of them, or whether he had found a doctor. Could Nan Ronghong survive such a serious injury? She had no idea.
Yun Xian was still thinking, his brows furrowed again, pulling the wound and making him grimace in pain.
Su Chi asked, "Does it still hurt?"
"It hurts." Yun Xian said, "Brother Xue, your needles have been confiscated. Is there no way to treat it now?"
Xue Lingxiu said, "Even if I had a needle, I can't cure it now that my spiritual energy is shackled. Just bear with it for now. Do you want to apply some medicine?"
Yun Xian pretended not to hear and said to Su Chi, "It hurts so much."
Su Chi held her face in his hands and looked at it for a moment, then took out some medicine from his storage ring and applied it to her. His movements were so gentle that her eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow on her eyelids. "Tell me if it hurts."
"It doesn't hurt." Yun Xian found joy in the midst of hardship, as if he had gotten a great advantage: "It's okay, just apply some ice to reduce the swelling."
Su Chi: "No ice."
Yun Xian blinked: "Your hands are very cold."
Su Chi paused and said with difficulty: "...Hmm."
He slowly placed his hands on Yun Xian's cheeks and found that both sides were swollen in a strange way, but the cheek flesh was still soft and warm. The heat ironed his palms, and he couldn't help but curl his fingertips.
"...Yun Xian!" Xue Lingxiu said angrily, "Stop pretending! How can this flesh wound hurt? Why didn't you say it hurt when you broke your arms and legs before?"
Jiang Lancui felt like ants were crawling on her body: "Can you guys please get out?! Get out! This is so corny and disgusting! Ahh ...
Qi Zhiye believed that out of sight, out of mind, and recited the Diamond Sutra with his eyes closed.
Looking at Su Chi's expression, Qiao Lingshan might not have known that Yun Xian was doing it on purpose. But she thought, "I'm having a good time, why are you guys yelling at me?" Senior Brother Su really wants Yun Xian to act like this in front of him every day!
Tiedan was on patrol when he was suddenly stopped by the Sixth Elder, who asked warily, "What's going on?"
The Sixth Elder, with his protruding ears, said woodenly, "Could you please ask the dorm over there to be quiet? I'm being driven crazy by the noise."
Tiedan: “…………”
Fellow Daoist Yun, you're the real deal. You're the one who causes a scene wherever you go, right?
The night on the other side.
Ji Rongxue, covered in frost and snow, finally emerged from the dim dungeon and walked into the even darker night.
The inner sect disciple behind her said, "Master, we've already silenced the guests. After they left, they all said it was Madam Nan who suddenly went mad after being possessed by a demon, and Qiu Zhuo and Qiu Dan were unfortunately harmed. You resolved the matter, and the former Master's spirit chose to pass on the Master's seal to you."
Ji Rongxue paused and said, "Yeah."
"So, should we talk about those things? Or should we ask them not to spread them?" The inner sect disciple said cautiously, "It's about... Nan Qingxiao of the Wangchen Sect, and the cause of the former sect leader's death... those things."
Although these had nothing to do with Ji Rongxue, they would still affect the image of the Body Strengthening Sect. Of course, it all depended on her opinion.
"Don't worry about it." Ji Rongxue said, "Let them talk, exaggerate as much as they want. It doesn't matter if everyone knows."
Let’s see who dares to continue doing it next time.
The inner sect disciple accepted the order and said, "Yes, I understand."
"Well." Ji Rongxue said, "You go and rest."
The inner sect disciples had experienced so much in one day, their emotions were surging, how could they rest? Before leaving, they said to Ji Rongxue, "Congratulations to the Sect Leader for getting what he wished for!"
Ji Rongxue didn't look back and hurried back to his room.
She killed three more stewards. The words she had just spoken to the Ninth Elder continued to echo.
"That book was given to me by a newsboy. He was delivering mail, and his hat was pulled low, so I couldn't see his face. I didn't know who he was, so I just left it there. The book was blank, but it contained a lot of correspondence."
"I originally thought it was sent to the wrong person, but after reading through the letters, I realized that the Sword Sect's rapid growth in strength over the years is due to the discovery of a 'Holy Core' at a place called the 'Altar of Sorrow and Joy.' The Holy Core not only boosts a disciple's cultivation, but can even strengthen their very bones. If we can find this item, the disciples of our Body Tempering Sect will be even more powerful, and there's no need to worry about their future."
"But the book later disappeared, along with the letter. ... It's true, Miss, everything I said is true! Later, I learned that Yun Xian called this book the 'Demon Book'... But how do we know it's not true if we don't try it? Everyone has seen the development of the Sword Sect; it's so strange! Even if we don't verify this news, other sects will. If others become stronger, won't we fall behind?!"
Ji Rongxue just felt a headache.
If what the Ninth Elder said was true, then wasn't this the Sword Sect's demon core? She could stop the Body Tempering Sect from advancing, but how could she stop the other sects? Would they believe her if she told them? Could she stop everyone with force?
She hurried to test all the seniors in the Body Refining Sect who were in seclusion. Yun Xian's magic stone was in her hand, but fortunately, none of them lit up.
The Bodybuilding Sect is still in the stage of being attempted to be infiltrated, and everyone has the potential to be the second breach.
The headmaster's residence was originally located behind the main hall, but now many of the buildings within the sect have been severely damaged, and the disciples are busy renovating them. The main hall has been reduced to ruins, and the headmaster's inauguration ceremony, originally scheduled to follow the funeral banquet, will not begin in the next two days.
Keep him locked up for a few more days to temper his temper. If the guest is willing to change his mind, then allow him to attend the enthronement ceremony. If he refuses to change his mind... she has a way.
Ji Rongxue sat on his wooden bed, watching the falling snow outside the window. Suddenly, he wondered how Nan Ronghong was doing now... and what about Yun Xian? Was he very angry? That was all.
In the silence, that ghostly voice rang out again: "You're the first person in the world who can come up with such a stupid way to hide from others that I've ever seen."
"..." Ji Rongxue said woodenly: "Get lost."
"Are you afraid they'll think you've changed?" the voice chuckled. "You never dare to tell them your views on Buddhism. You're afraid they'll hate you if they find out. You're not that fond of telling jokes, it's just that you don't know what to say, and you're afraid they'll forget you're still around. You want to please them, but you refuse to approach them with sincerity. All those little lovable qualities of yours are just an act! Underneath the surface, you're nothing but a cold, heartless, vicious creature. Killing without blinking an eye! Do you think you're any different from your mother? You're both abnormal. Ridiculous, hahahaha!"
Ji Rongxue slammed out a palm: "I told you to get out!!!"
The sound suddenly disappeared in the dead silence of the night.
Ji Rongxue's chest heaved, and it took a while for her to calm down. Her palm strike hadn't hit anything, only knocking over the dilapidated doghouse in the corner of the room.
The doghouse hasn't been used for a long time, but it's still very clean.
Ji Rongxue walked over slowly, stretched out her hand, and floated quietly in the air. She closed her eyes and imagined that under her palm was the warm belly of the puppy that rose and fell.
"Fulai." She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she remained silent.
