Chapter 863 Thank you for not letting me experience the pain of losing my child again
An hour later, the Fourth Master took his hand off Wenjiu, covered his chest and groaned. Dark red blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
The Fourth Master wiped it and looked at his hand again. It was originally covered with black silk threads, which had gradually faded after many days of refining. Now it was just a hole.
The dark energy gathered in the palm of his hand and surged wildly, as if it could devour the person in the next second.
The Fourth Master's eyes were dark and unclear as he sat cross-legged on the ground, his robes fluttering in the wind. A vein had suddenly popped up on his forehead, and large beads of cold sweat dripped down.
"Master..."
Wenjiu rubbed his eyebrows and shouted subconsciously.
The Fourth Master heard a noise beside him, and his clenched fists gradually relaxed. He relaxed a little, casually wiped the dried blood from the corner of his mouth, and turned back with a normal expression and a faint smile: "Jiu'er, how are you?"
"I'm fine." Wen Jiu shook his head gently, then glanced at his hands: "Master, why is the dark energy on my body gone?"
The Fourth Master put his hands behind his back and reached out his right hand to touch Wenjiu's head. "Such a small amount of dark energy, is it possible that I can't deal with it? You silly girl, if you dare to take such a risk again next time, I will punish you! Some things can only be dealt with after I come back."
"The situation is urgent. How could we wait for you to come? I don't know why, but Honghui has a strong dark aura. He is weak and I am afraid he won't be able to hold on for a while longer." Wenjiu stretched his muscles and bones, and couldn't help but wonder: "Huh? Strange, not only is the dark aura in my body gone, but my spiritual power is even more abundant!"
The Fourth Master looked at the way she was warming the wine, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "I guess you are in very good health, girl. This is a blessing in disguise."
Wen Jiu glanced at his hand in surprise. "Really? It's really possible? Then, if I encounter dark energy in the future, won't I be able to absorb it into my body?"
"Nonsense!" The Fourth Master said coldly, "What if your body can't digest it? There will be a time when I will leave you, so what will you do? Don't take such risks again!"
Wen Jiu was startled by the Fourth Master's sudden yelling. He glanced at the Fourth Master's cold face and grabbed his sleeve: "Why are you so angry all of a sudden? I was just joking. Besides, why wouldn't you be by my side?"
The Fourth Master exhaled softly, "You, remember, never take such risks again." His brow furrowed even tighter as he spoke, "I just don't know why Honghui exudes such a strong, dark aura."
Wen Jiu nodded: "Jiu'er was frightened at the time. Do you think this thing is coming for us?"
The Fourth Master frowned deeply. "You're not without reason. I'm afraid the capital is not at peace right now. Jiu'er, I've also sensed a strong, dark atmosphere in the palace."
"In the Imperial Palace!" Wen Jiu was shocked. "How could this happen? Is it Master Guangci?"
The Fourth Master pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "It's not him. I've had people following him all this time, including his tiger, which I accidentally saw once. Although I can't yet see his level of cultivation, I can confirm that there is no trace of dark energy on him."
After thinking for a moment, the Fourth Master immediately turned around and said, "Don't say a word."
"Master." Soon, two people came into the house without saying a word.
Fourth Master: "Send someone to monitor the surrounding area immediately. If anyone behaves strangely, like that mountain monster from before, report to me immediately."
After thinking for a moment, the Fourth Master immediately sat up and said: "I must submit a memorial to the Emperor. Now it seems that I need to find time to meet Long Keduo."
He warmed the wine and casually ground the ink. He glanced at the Fourth Master and couldn't help but frown slightly: "Master, why are you so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Fourth Master: "It's alright, don't you know my health? I'm pretending to be pale."
Wen Jiu glanced at the Fourth Master, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he inadvertently glanced at the Fourth Master's hand, and then he said, "Master, there is also the matter of Honghui, I need to explain a few words to you.
It's true that I brought him here from Fu Jin's place today, but it happened suddenly...
"No need to explain." The Fourth Master suddenly grabbed Wenjiu's slender wrist as she was grinding ink for him. "You don't have to explain, and there's no need to explain. I know if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have seen Honghui. Jiu'er, thank you. Thank you... for not letting me experience the pain of losing a son again."
Wen Jiu was dazed when the Fourth Master pulled her into his arms. Only then did she realize that the Fourth Master's body was trembling slightly.
He then patted his broad back gently.
"It's all over. It's all over."
