Chapter 86: Do you want revenge?
On this day, thousands of disciples from the entire Tianyan gathered at Fu Ri Peak.
In the entire Floating Sun Peak, the trial field is the most bustling area, while other places are still quiet and peaceful, even more deserted than before.
Near the back hall, the little Taoist children who used to come and clean up were nowhere to be seen. Fu Ri Peak was the residence of the sect leader, Qi Yuanbai. Qi Yuanbai was always very kind to his children, so they weren't afraid. They finished their work before dawn and flocked to the trial grounds to watch the excitement.
At this moment, at the end of the deserted corridor, the door to the back hall was ajar, blocking most of the bright sunlight. Only a beam of light half a palm wide passed through the gap in the door and spread onto the gray-black floor tiles.
A few inches away from the beam of light, there was a disheveled figure curled up with a disheveled robe, a loose belt, and an angry face.
It was Chen Tian who had just lost face in public and should have been sent to the Punishment Hall for punishment by Elder Qin.
"Mu Fuyun..."
He gritted his teeth and slowly spat out these three words, his eyes lowered, full of malice, staring at the darkest shadow in the corner, as if he could brew poison.
The originally very quiet back hall was inexplicably stained with a layer of gloomy and sinister aura. Countless lotus lanterns, some bright and some dim, floated over the empty house like wisps of souls.
"Mu Fuyun", these three words spread out in all directions, producing waves of low and vague echoes, like some kind of secret code.
In the corner, the wick of a bright lotus lantern trembled slightly, and a puff of green smoke rose up and floated towards Chen Tian without him noticing.
"But is it Junior Brother Chen from Taiqing Peak?"
A familiar and gentle voice came from behind him, echoing in the empty room. He was startled and the hairs on his back stood on end.
“Who is it?”
He trembled and froze in place, not daring to look back to see what was going on.
"It's me, Junior Brother Chen, don't you remember me? I'm Mu Fuyue from Fu Ri Peak."
Chen Tian was so frightened that his teeth chattered. He was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, he remembered the owner of this familiar voice and couldn't help but let out a short scream.
"Mu, Mu, Senior Sister Mu, haven't you already..." He held his head with both hands, his voice trembling, "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it. I will never dare to offend Mu Fuyun again!"
As he spoke, he curled up his body and threw himself forward, kneeling on the ground. He didn't dare to look up. He just turned around and kowtowed repeatedly in the direction where the voice came from.
The cloud of green smoke surged and transformed into the appearance of Mu Fuyue.
A gentle and harmless smile appeared on her lips. She lowered her eyes and looked at Chen Tian, saying softly, "Junior Brother Chen, what are you afraid of? I didn't mean that. I want to say 'I'm sorry' to you on my sister's behalf."
"No, no, no—" Chen Tian subconsciously shook his head repeatedly. When he came to his senses, he was stunned and couldn't help but look up in confusion.
The figure in front of him was real and illusory, changing constantly, and finally froze into the appearance in his memory.
She was the most valued disciple of the former master, and was also a very popular person in the sect. Among her peers, most of them, regardless of gender, were close to her, made friends with her, and even looked up to her.
And he had been one of the many disciples who looked up to her.
Who wouldn’t like a senior sister who is not only talented, but also beautiful, gentle and considerate?
“Senior Sister…”
There was a moment of unreality and trance in Chen Tian's eyes.
At this moment, the human figure formed by the green smoke shook, and a wisp of it quietly dispersed in the air, lingering vaguely. In a blink of an eye, it was like a translucent cover, covering his eyes.
His eyes, which were originally a little dazed, were suddenly covered with a gray shadow, making him lose his mind.
"Want revenge?"
The gentle female voice is full of temptation.
"I think……"
…
Near the back hall, under the empty and deserted tree-shaded corridor, a figure appeared without anyone noticing.
He was wearing a neatly-knitted Taoist robe, the sword at his waist was intact, the buckle on the scabbard was also tight, and it looked like it had not been moved at all. It was obvious at a glance that he did not participate in today's competition.
That was Xu Lian, who was sent by other senior brothers and sisters to find Chen Tian's whereabouts.
Taiqing Peak did not accept any new disciples this year. She and Zhou Su were the youngest disciples, and they had to obey the orders of their senior brothers and sisters on a daily basis.
In the past, because Zhan Yao came from a good family and was strong, they had restrained themselves because they were close to her. But now, Zhan Yao had drawn a clear line between themselves and them, and others could see it clearly, so naturally they had no scruples.
It can't be considered bullying, but in a situation like today, the other senior brothers and sisters had to stay in the trial field to watch the rest of the competition, so they asked the two of them to go out and look for Chen Tian, who should have gone to the Punishment Hall but is now missing.
She walked slowly, for some reason, perhaps because she sensed movement in the back hall from a distance, so she instinctively lightened her steps, deliberately restrained her breath and movements, and slowly walked to the half-open door.
He deliberately avoided the half-palm-wide opening, stood behind half of the door panel, and listened quietly to the sounds inside.
Someone is talking.
That voice sounded vaguely familiar.
She couldn't help but frown and continued to stand outside motionless until she heard a name that shouldn't have appeared.
…
At the trial field, seeing that the matter was resolved and the storm subsided, Xie Hanyi did not stay for too long and soon returned to Lingshanze.
Although Mu Fuyun inexplicably wanted to stay with him for a while longer, but thinking about how he had been staying in the cave more and more frequently recently and how his face sometimes turned pale, she knew that she should let him go back quickly.
Presumably, he has recently reached a bottleneck in his cultivation and needs to try his best to keep his mind calm and not be disturbed by external things in order to get through this period.
He shouldn't have come to today's competition.
As she watched him leave, she felt strangely reluctant to let him go. She would return to Lingshanze later, and like most other times, she would not have the chance to see him.
"Master."
She couldn't help but call out again, causing Xie Hanyi, who was about to take off into the air, to pause, turn around and look at her, waiting for her next words.
But in fact, Mu Fuyun didn't know what he wanted to say.
She seems to be open and honest, never hiding anything, but she is used to hiding and ignoring her truly sensitive and delicate emotions.
For example, now, she called the person over, but was too shy to express her deep reluctance.
"Nothing," she waved her hand and smiled at him, "I just wanted to tell Master that I will work hard and will never embarrass you."
Xie Hanyi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this was what she was going to say. Then he shook his head helplessly, with two smiles on his eyes. "No matter what you do, it won't embarrass me. Just focus on your cultivation. If anything else happens, I will always show up like I did today."
Mu Fuyun felt relieved, let out a breath quietly, nodded vigorously, and watched him soar into the air and fly away quickly until his figure disappeared into the horizon, then he retracted his gaze.
Although her competition was over, the others' were still not. She had to stay and observe the strength and style of others.
However, she did not stay on the Jindan stage trial platform, but went to the Yuanying stage trial platform on the other side.
On one of the platforms, Song Xinghe was fighting fiercely with the female cultivator from Luoxia Peak.
After being scratched by the sword just now, he slowly regained his composure and fought with all his strength, turning the disadvantage around. In a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Mu Fuyu standing in the crowd watching the fight at the edge of the stage.
Song Xinghe's movements were delayed for a moment, and his opponent immediately seized the opportunity.
A sword intent came towards him, and he had to use the sword as a shield to temporarily resist it. The hand holding the hilt was cut by the sword intent, leaving a bloody gash. Because the opponent's spiritual power was too strong, both the man and the sword were shocked and jumped a long way back.
"Song Xinghe!" The female cultivator was obviously annoyed by his occasional distraction. She stopped attacking and simply stood still, one hand on her waist, the other pointing her sword at him, and said hatefully, "Can you be more serious and respectful?"
Many people also noticed that Song Xinghe was absent-minded and looked at him in confusion.
Song Xinghe almost didn't dare to turn his head to look at the people below. He could feel Mu Fuyun's gaze just from the corner of his eye.
Why at this time?
He was both ashamed and regretful, so he had to grit his teeth, say "sorry", try to gather his thoughts, and pick up the sword again.
