Chapter 407: Remains of the Zhou General (19)
Yan Wenxuan waved his hand, pursing his lips to signal them to look at a few monks not far away whose faces were as black as ink. He said, "Look at those people with bad attitudes. They are going crazy now. I won't do such a stupid thing as dying for a relic."
Those monks looked at him sinisterly, but he smiled calmly, raised his wine bag and greeted them, as if the guy who had just spoken ill of them was not him.
Once this information was exchanged, it was night time.
The breath of the living was too strong, causing the ghosts to boil.
Wangxu went out for a walk with Cheng Luo, Yuan Daoyou and others, and collected a lot of evil ghosts and souls.
Tao Zi did not leave the inn this time, but meditated and practiced Buddhism. Cheng Wuchou and Monk Li stood by to drive away those ignorant evil spirits, while Xi Jing and others obediently did their own things.
Not long after, Qiu Xuanhuan appeared with Shao Hua standing beside him.
Tao Zi opened her eyes and smiled, "Thank you for your help, Master."
Shaohua snorted coldly, unwilling to pay attention to this sentence.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Shaobai wanted to leave, but his strength was not enough to deal with those ghosts. He was in a dilemma whether to leave or not.
Li Xiu looked at him with sympathy. She had to admit that he was just like herself in the past, always being forced to notice things she didn't want to notice.
However, Lu Shaobai was obviously luckier than him - Shaohua was decisive enough and took Lu Shaobai and others away directly, leaving only Tao Zi, Cheng Wuchou and Qiu Huanhuan in the room.
Cheng Wuchou and Qiu Huanhuan looked at each other. Tao Zi used a sound-isolating device and introduced them briefly: "Cheng Wuchou, my brother; Qiu Huanhuan, my good friend."
Qiu Xuanhuan frowned and said, "Brother? Relative?"
She nodded and said, "Yes, don't tell your aunt yet."
He looked at Cheng Wuchou again, sizing him up and down, and then said, "He does look a bit like you. As for my aunt, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Cheng Wuchou bowed to his legendary sister and friend as a gesture of greeting.
Qiu Xuanhuan returned the greeting before explaining her purpose: "Yue...Tao Zi, why have you been treating me like I don't exist all this time?"
Tao Zi's mouth twitched. Although she knew that this person was most likely looking for her to ask about this matter, she still couldn't help feeling speechless when she actually heard the question.
Cheng Wuchou also silently looked away.
She patiently coaxed him, "Xuan Huan, Qing Ya is already staying in Yi San Men. You can't show up again, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."
He was slightly unconvinced and said anxiously: "Then I can also help you quietly!"
Tao Zi's answer seemed somewhat cold and heartless: "You can't."
"Why can't I? Qingya can sow discord between Wangxu and Minglanzong, so can I!"
She retorted expressionlessly: "There are some things that Qingya can say but you can't."
Qiu Huanhuan became even angrier: "Why can't I say anything?"
"You are so naive and simple, you either can't say those words, or no one would take them seriously even if you said them."
For a moment, the scene fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Huanhuan finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm simple, not stupid!"
Tao Zi patted his shoulder and said soothingly, "I know, but those people are cunning. You can't play tricks in front of them."
"Aren't you just saying that I'm a fool in front of them?"
She paused, then said carefully, "Of course you are not a fool, but you are straightforward. But they are too calculating, too old foxes."
Qiu Xuanhuan snorted, and because Cheng Wuchou was present, he suppressed his temper and said, "Forget it, I won't argue with you about this. Just tell me what I can do for you."
Do nothing...
She swallowed the answer and smiled, "Just stay in Chunqiu Sect, improve your strength, interact with Wangxu and others as usual, and express your disgust towards Xu Qianjia and others, the leader of Minglan Sect."
He wondered, "Isn't this my daily routine?"
Tao Zi said seriously: "Yes, what you are doing now is very right."
Qiu Xuanhuan was very skeptical of the truth of this statement. She continued, "There are some things that Wangxu, as the Young Master of the Sword Sect, cannot say, but you can. For example, you can confront Xu Qianjia more often to let the other sects know your attitude. The most important thing is that Qingya and I are now like grasshoppers on a string in the eyes of outsiders. You have to hide your true intentions and keep a trick up your sleeve."
He was half-believing and half-doubting, but Tao Zi looked at him sincerely: "Xuan Huan, practice well. No matter what, we will ultimately rely on strength."
This is true, Qiu Huanhuan finally nodded.
Cheng Wuchou smiled as he watched his sister fooling around, and said, "Azi is right. All of us are standing naked next to Azi. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid we'll all be wiped out. One person has to hide."
No matter what he was thinking, he agreed.
Tao Zi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this person did not get involved, she would be able to calm down the madman Shao Hua.
Qiu Huanhuan asked again: "What's going on with Cheng Luo?"
She said, "What happened to him?"
He frowned and said, "He mentioned your name as soon as he saw me, as if he knew your true identity. If I remember correctly, you didn't have a good relationship with him before. Don't you need to deal with it?"
Tao Zi suddenly realized and said, "Is this why you attacked him?"
Qiu Xuanhuan nodded and said regretfully, "It's a pity that the sect elder who was protecting me has disappeared. Otherwise, I could have taken his life at that moment."
Cheng Wuchou's eyebrows twitched, finally understanding the fundamental reason why his sister didn't let this person get involved. He said, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, Cheng Luo is the eldest senior brother of Xujia Sect."
He disagreed and said, "Just do it in a subtle way. Besides, no one would think it was me who did it."
Tao Zi held her forehead, suppressed a smile and said, "Xuan Huan, he is now my friend, don't move rashly. Oh, and don't tell your aunt that he knows my identity."
Qiu Xuanhuan asked doubtfully, "Do we have to keep this a secret?"
She nodded and said, "We must keep it a secret. The fewer people who know about this, the more at ease we'll feel."
Shaohua is too crazy. It would be fine if she didn't know anything. If she really knew something, who knows what she would come up with.
Besides, behind Cheng Luo is Xujiamen, and behind Xujiamen is the master, and the existence of the master should not be made known to others.
Suddenly, Qiu Xuanhuan's expression changed and he said, "Wangxu and the others are heading back. My aunt and I need to leave first."
Tao Zi nodded and watched him leave.
Cheng Wuchou sighed, "This Daoist Fellow Qiu is quite innocent."
She smiled and said, "The Chunqiu Sect has always loved him. No matter how big the trouble he got into, they would help him deal with it. He rarely suffered setbacks, so naturally his personality is purer than others."
At this moment, the spiritual energy in the air suddenly rioted.
A slender hand reached out from the void and firmly grasped Tao Zi's shoulders, then swept Tao Zi away in front of Cheng Wuchou.
