Zhang Wu stood to one side, tilting his head to avoid Wu Er's gaze, looking very uneasy.
"Senior Brother, why didn't you let me know you were coming?" Zhang Wu chuckled awkwardly. "You really scared me to death."
Are you scared?
Wu Er twitched his lips, looked at Zhang Wu who was trying to hide his embarrassment, and said, "I was in a hurry, so I didn't knock."
"Haha, senior brother, why are you in such a hurry? Everything is fine."
Zhang Wu touched his bald head and continued to laugh awkwardly.
Wu Er shook his head and said, "When I heard you talking nonsense outside the door, I thought you had a mental demon affecting your mind."
"Nonsense?" Zhang Wu feigned confusion. "When did I talk nonsense? Did you mishear me, Senior Brother?"
After hearing this, Wu Er smiled helplessly and said, "Perhaps I misheard."
Did I hear that right? How could I possibly have misheard?
They're all cultivators, their ears are incredibly sharp, how could they possibly mishear?
Keep pretending, keep pretending, just keep pretending.
It's just being a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), what's there to hide? Who hasn't been a chuunibyou?
Wu Er mentally grumbled at Zhang Wu, then stopped talking about it and asked instead, "By the way, did you go exorcise a demon the other day?"
When Wu Er changed the subject, Zhang Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the embarrassment on his face subsided considerably.
He then nodded and replied, "I went to deal with some taboo demons."
"Okay." Wu Er nodded. "Remember to check carefully. Don't let the taboo demons go unpunished, and don't kill the innocent ones either."
"That's natural."
Zhang Wu quickly responded, then added, "The demons I killed were all those that had consumed human blood; the others with minor offenses were suppressed as usual."
Looking at Zhang Wu's bare upper body and the eye-catching golden dragon tattoo, Wu Er asked, "I see that your Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon has improved quite a bit. Did you encounter any troublesome enemies when fighting those demons?"
"This one?"
Zhang Wu raised his head slightly, crossed his arms, and just enough to block the dragon head of the golden dragon tattoo. "Most of it is fine, but I encountered a difficult problem when I returned to the sect a few days ago."
"Oh, so you're saying it's difficult? What's your name? Are you the Demon King under the Demon Saint's command?"
Wu Er couldn't help but become interested; anyone who could make Zhang Wu feel troubled must be no simple character.
Zhang Wu replied, "I'm not too sure either. I exchanged a few blows with that demon but couldn't defeat him, so I asked him his name. I think it was Meng Ji, but unfortunately he managed to escape in the end."
"Meng Ji?"
Wu Er blinked and asked, "You ran into him again?"
Meng Ji was the demon king who attacked Xiao Mingmu that day. Wu Er still had a deep impression of him, after all, this demon was once a subordinate of the Kunwu Demon Saint and was clamoring for revenge.
Moreover, he brought the Peerless Sword with him when he infiltrated Pengshan Sect last time.
Zhang Wu nodded and said, "When I came here that day, I vaguely sensed a demonic aura outside the sect, but I didn't see any demons. So I used magic to clean the area and then smashed that guy out."
Upon hearing this, Wu Er raised an eyebrow again.
Washed the whole floor...
My third junior brother is getting more and more domineering; he's not as timid as he used to be.
However, Meng Ji was quite something. After being beaten up, he didn't run away immediately. Instead, he hid near the sect, probably waiting for a chance to take revenge.
Despite such a huge difference in strength, they still didn't give up; that's truly tenacious.
However, Meng Ji has been beaten again, so he should probably give up now, at least he'll be further away from Pengshan Sect.
Afterwards, Wu Er and Zhang Wu chatted for a few more minutes, and then Wu Er concealed himself and left the compartment, returning to the deck of the cloud boat.
Back on the deck, the disciples still gathered in twos and threes, discussing Zhang Wu's display of power and how they wanted to achieve higher levels of cultivation in the future.
They are truly full of energy and youthful spirit.
"Although they are all weak, they are all full of hope for the future. I wish I could be like that too."
Wu Er couldn't help but feel a little envious of his young disciples.
Sometimes, when you have an invincible expectation, emptiness will come, everything will become dull and tasteless, and you will always recall the past.
The cloud boat continued to travel in the sky, squeezed between two clouds, accompanied by the whistling wind, and occasionally other cloud boats could be seen sailing by in the distance.
Wu Er looked at the scenery in front of him, chuckled to himself, and shook his head slightly. Then, his gaze shifted and he saw a person.
This person is Han Qingxiu.
At this moment, Han Qingxiu was quite different from the other disciples. Instead of chatting with others, she leaned against the railing alone, lost in thought.
The expression on her face was somewhat similar to Wu Er's.
Seeing Han Qingxiu in this state, Wu Er also became interested, "There are others who are spacing out like me."
Wu Er wanted to know why she was spacing out, so he took the initiative to go over to her.
What are you looking at?
Wu Er came to Han Qingxiu's side and put one hand on the fence next to her.
Han Qingxiu, who was in a daze, heard someone calling her and turned her head to look. When she saw that the person who called her was Wu Er, her face immediately turned pale.
He said with dissatisfaction, "Long Aotian? What are you doing?"
Wu Er then placed his other hand on the railing, leaned forward slightly, and let half of his body rest on it.
Then he laughed and said, "I saw you were spacing out, so I came up to ask and check on my fellow disciple."
There's nothing to worry about.
Han Qingxiu moved to the side, increasing the distance between herself and Wu Er.
Wu Er, shameless as ever, also took two steps to Han Qingxiu's side and said, "Are you still upset because I lost your things?"
Upon hearing this, Han Qingxiu's expression changed again, and she said sternly, "Do you have something to say? If not, please leave, or I'll take action!"
After saying that, Han Qingxiu reached out and grasped the sword on her back.
"Calm down, calm down."
Wu Er smiled helplessly, knowing he was in the wrong and not wanting to argue with a junior disciple.
He softened his voice and said, "This was my fault. How about I apologize to you?"
Hearing this, Han Qingxiu's expression softened a bit. She took her hand off the sword behind her back, glanced at Wu Er, and then continued to stare blankly without saying anything.
Seeing that the other person was still in a daze, Wu Er asked again, "Why don't you go and chat with those disciples?"
After saying that, he pointed behind him.
Han Qingxiu leaned against the railing, continuing to look at the sky without glancing at Wu Er, and simply said, "How boring."
"Boring?" Upon hearing the other person's reply, Wu Er said, "I think they're having a great time chatting. It's not boring at all. Spending some time chatting is quite nice."
Han Qingxiu gently clenched her hands on the railing. "Only people like you would be interested in that kind of thing, and only you have so much time to chat."
"You look down on the other disciples?"
Wu Er withdrew his hands and stopped leaning against the fence.
"No, how could I dare to look down on you?"
After saying this, Han Qingxiu stopped leaning against the railing and turned to walk away.
Wu Er shrugged, indicating his helplessness.
This Han Qingxiu seems to have some kind of story behind her.
