Chapter 83: Speculation
After temporarily escaping danger, Yue Qingya sighed as he looked at the monsters still rioting in the distance and said, "Let's keep going. No one knows where they will go next."
A Wei was still hesitant: "Captain, Miss Tao and the others?"
"I'll come back to find them after I get you out safely."
Zhou You glared at A Wei in dissatisfaction: "A Wei, you know the horror of the beast tide, why are you still saying this? Who is more important, the captain or those people? I know you are kind, but don't overdo it."
He stopped talking, but his expression was still a little gloomy.
Yue Qingya saw through his thoughts and said gently, "Practice hard, and one day you will become stronger. But don't forget your original intention in the future."
Awei nodded seriously, but found that the captain was looking at the direction he came from, wondering what he was thinking.
"team leader?"
"It's okay." He came back to his senses, "Let's go."
He took one last look at where he came from. For some reason, he suddenly remembered something from the past.
Many years ago, during a critical moment, Yue Qiran was also missing, but she did not live like Fellow Daoist Tao - those people chose to save themselves without hesitation, and even after escaping danger, they were calm and showed no signs of worry.
Afterwards, she simply said calmly, "I'll talk to them. If we can't reach an agreement, then I'll just give up."
They had always thought she would give up on those people, but unexpectedly, what she waited for were those incredible things. Perhaps Yue Qiran had already forgotten the word "giving up" she had said.
At this time in the cave, the three of them surrounded their senior sister, wanting to cry but unable to. Han Yueshan even wanted to beat himself up. How could he have made his senior sister faint from anger?
He took a deep breath, looked at the spiritual weapon in his hand, and said, "I will guard the cave entrance with the spiritual weapon. Xi Jing, Zhao Xue, you two close your eyes and rest to ensure your strength."
The two nodded dejectedly.
The three of them fell silent at the same time. No one spoke, only occasionally looking at the eldest sister.
In a place like this, as soon as the senior sister fell into a coma, their confidence disappeared, and they were left with only worry and fear, and could only hope that the senior sister would wake up soon.
Han Yueshan was better off and could barely hold on, but Xi Jing and the others couldn't sleep or sit still.
Xi Jing was the first to be unable to bear this feeling and whispered to break the atmosphere: "Senior Sister was very shocked when she saw us, as if she hadn't expected us to come over at all."
Han Yueshan hummed softly.
"I don't know why. It's natural for Senior Sister to be shocked, but I always feel like something is not right." Zhao Xue also spoke in a muffled voice.
The second brother said helplessly: "You two, are you really not going to rest?"
Xi Jing sat up and hugged her knees and said, "Second Brother, I really can't sleep, and I don't dare to fall asleep at all."
Zhao Xue also nodded in agreement and whispered, "Brother, is Senior Sister really so angry that she fainted? I just feel something is not right."
Han Yueshan's expression changed: "Zhao Xue, come and guard."
He handed the spiritual weapon over and squatted beside his senior sister to observe it carefully.
Senior sister looked very uncomfortable and seemed to be in great pain, but Xi Jing had just looked at her wound and it shouldn't be that serious.
Speaking of which, Senior Sister seemed to faint frequently. Were they overlooking something?
Han Yueshan's expression became more and more serious. He never hesitated to think too much, but was this possible?
He tried to sort things out from beginning to end.
Suddenly, he said, "Tell me, does Senior Sister have any secrets?"
Xi Jing nodded and said, "Of course there is. Aren't Senior Sister's spiritual veins and enemies secrets?"
"No, it's more than that." Han Yueshan narrowed his eyes and pondered carefully. "Senior Sister is very powerful. She has rich combat experience. She also knows the Dayless Forest very well and knows that there are medicines in the west that are useful for physical cultivation. But, she is only eighteen years old."
Zhao Xue stood at the cave entrance without looking back, but joined in the discussion: "To have such rich experience, either Senior Sister has gone through a lot, or she comes from an extraordinary family."
Xi Jing said, "You're only eighteen years old. What kind of experience can you have?"
Han Yueshan decisively asserted: "That's the latter."
The three of them fell silent.
It was Xi Jing who broke the silence again: "Do you think the hatred on Senior Sister's body is a blood feud?"
Han Yueshan nodded in agreement: "It's possible. Perhaps the sect was destroyed, so they escaped in a panic. This can also explain Senior Sister's spiritual vein problem."
Zhao Xue suppressed the urge to turn back and discuss the matter, staring outside and saying, "What do you think, Senior Sister will go back for revenge in the future?"
The junior sister nodded affirmatively: "Of course, the hatred of annihilating a family is irreconcilable!"
The three of them talked one after another and laid the foundation for Tao Zi's origin.
Zhao Xue then asked, "Sister, is your purpose in going into the forest for those medicines?"
Han Yueshan thought for a moment and gave a positive answer: "Nine out of ten, you probably didn't notice that when Senior Sister led us to escape, her direction was always very determined. Of course, part of the reason must have been to escape the pursuers."
Xi Jing looked at the deep darkness outside and said, "If this hadn't happened, would you have planned to go into the forest alone?"
Han Yueshan said seriously: "Maybe, but no matter what, Senior Sister has taken the three of us burdens with her and tried her best to save our lives, so we should also do our best to help Senior Sister."
Seeing the other two people agree, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When Zhao Xue said that just now, he was shocked, fearing that the two people would complain about this matter. Fortunately, they didn't.
But then again, Senior Sister didn't abandon the three of them as a burden and escape alone, so how could they ask Senior Sister to give up the opportunity for them?
Zhao Xue suddenly remembered something and turned around, startling them: "Is it almost fifteen?"
Xi Jing looked at him in confusion, not knowing why he suddenly turned around: "It seems so, what's wrong?"
"Senior Sister is so powerful, how could she not have defeated Sister Li back then? Come to think of it, that day seemed to be the fifteenth, and Master's face changed when he heard the word fifteen."
Han Yueshan slapped his head and recalled the time when his senior sister was unconscious. He then looked at Xi Jing and they looked at each other in surprise.
Zhao Xue at the entrance of the cave was extremely anxious: "Why don't you guys say something?"
"Junior brother, you are smart for once."
The three of them fell into a long silence again, until someone's stomach growled.
"I'm hungry."
"I'm hungry too."
"Stop talking and save your energy."
Fortunately, this time, the senior sister woke up quickly enough and did not faint for a whole day as usual.
Tao Zi opened her eyes with difficulty. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her three fellow apprentices were by her side.
The severe pain all over the body did not subside, it was still warning Tao Zi to continue closing her eyes and rest.
But in this environment, she couldn't allow herself to be unconscious for too long, and she shouldn't even be unconscious.
