Looking at the Moon in the Well to Seek the Phantom (1)
While Song Shiyu and Fang Yu, two paralyzed men, were still fighting each other, Xie Feng finally received the message from Zhu Ming.
"There's a riot going on in Cangyun City. I've already notified the disciples of Yiziyuan to come and support us. Please come to North Street immediately."
The bottom of the pit was very deep and spiritual power could not be used. Zhu Ming used the sound transmission talisman, so the two people also heard the message.
"It seems that the problem has been resolved? I guess we two were dragged here randomly. We are so unlucky." Song Shiyu spat at Fang Yu while speaking.
Fang Yu was unwilling to be outdone and wanted to vomit back, but was kicked by Xie Feng and turned over.
"Senior Brother! I am your junior brother. It was this witch who provoked me. Why did you kick me?" Fang Yu yelled.
Song Shiyu hadn't expected him to help her, and was stunned for a moment. Then she looked at Xie Feng ambiguously and said in a delicate voice, "I didn't expect that Immortal Lord..."
Before she could finish her words, the Meteor Sword was thrust in front of her. The chill of the sword made her shiver, and she was so scared that she snapped back the rest of her words.
"You have to come back with me." Xie Feng said coldly, "Go back and explain this matter clearly."
"Explain clearly? Where is the explanation?" Song Shiyu rolled his eyes and said.
Xie Feng said nothing, but silently moved the Meteor Sword forward a few inches, just hanging right between her eyebrows.
This is a silent warning.
Song Shiyu kept silent.
"Our Senior Brother Xie is a gentleman. If he said he wanted to investigate us, he must have a reason." Fang Yu deliberately added fuel to the fire.
Song Shiyu turned around and glared at him fiercely.
Fang Yu smiled proudly.
Xie Feng glanced at him, quickly sheathed his sword, and said with a half-smile, "I still have to ask you, how could a disciple of Yiziyuan be hanging around with monsters?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu looked flustered and stuttered for a long time, unable to make any clear statement.
Xie Feng glanced at him, adjusted the direction of his sword, held it steady in his hand, and said slowly: "I'll give you time to think of a reason. Now, both of you must follow me back."
Song Shiyu had another plan in mind.
Yiziyuan was a place that was not suitable for demons. It was filled with demon-suppressing formations. Her movements were restricted, and she was constantly nauseated by the sudden bursts of sword energy.
In addition, the relationship between humans and demons is already delicate, and the Floating Island is currently in a turbulent period. If they are accused of a crime for no reason, they will be finished.
She pretended to respond, but was actually biding her time.
Xie Feng raised his hand, as if he was about to attack.
Song Shiyu stumbled and fell into his arms, and was pushed away as he wished, hitting the wall of the pit.
"You monster, you actually want to seduce our senior brother. You are just daydreaming!" Fang Yu was still gloating and smiling brightly.
Song Shiyu cursed him as an idiot in his heart, and a leaf-shaped magic weapon appeared from the sleeve behind his back. In an instant, a strong wind rose from the ground, and the wind and sand flew everywhere, blinding Xie Feng's eyes.
He subconsciously put down his sword and rubbed his eyes, and Song Shiyu took advantage of this opportunity to fly upwards with the help of the wind. This magic weapon was very powerful, and in a short while, she touched the ground outside.
Song Shiyu was delighted and was about to climb up when a round head suddenly popped out from the edge of the pit.
When their eyes met, Song Shiyu's heart sank.
Li Zhaoyue's eyes lit up when she saw Song Shiyu, and she smiled, "Why is it you, beautiful sister?"
The word "beautiful sister" made her feel comfortable all over. She was about to agree with her eyes curved, but she suddenly realized her future situation and held back her words.
Xie Feng at the bottom of the pit had already reacted. Although the Meteor Sword was not activated by the sword energy, it still hit Song Shiyu's head thanks to Xie Feng's strength.
This made her see stars, and her hand loosened, and she rolled straight down. At this moment, the wind created by the magic weapon dissipated, and the two people at the bottom of the pit saw Song Shiyu fall clearly.
Fang Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The laughter caught Li Zhaoyue's attention. His eyes moved and he saw Fang Yu lying on the ground.
"Why are you here too?" Li Zhaoyue's attitude suddenly changed from gentle to vigilant, and he asked in confusion.
"I was captured by this witch, Senior Sister, look at me, how badly injured I am..." Fang Yu deliberately pretended to be weak and was about to take the opportunity to act pitiful, but saw a pair of big hands reaching out from above Li Zhaoyue's head and pressing her head back.
Xu Xing poked his head out from the edge of the pit, looked at him gently and smiled slightly.
The two people lying on the ground felt a pang of fear in their hearts.
"Ayue, let them come up first." He glanced at the stiff expressions of the two men and said gently.
Li Zhaoyue nodded, pulled out a long rope from behind him, and lowered it down. Xie Feng, using the force of the rope, was as light as a swallow and instantly climbed up. The hem of his yellow clothes moved slightly, and he still had the noble look of a young master from an aristocratic family. Xu Xing's eyes narrowed, and he quickly stepped forward to meet him.
"Brother, are you okay? Actually, it's all my fault. If I hadn't suddenly felt unwell and Ah Yue hadn't spent so much time looking for medicine, we wouldn't have come so late."
Xu Xing spoke softly and with an apologetic look on his face, looking like he was really upset.
But Xie Feng is also a man, so how could he not know what he meant by the word "A Yue" that he emphasized in his words?
He didn't say anything, but silently inserted the Meteor Sword into the scabbard. After doing all this, he just glanced at Li Zhaoyue, and she came to him worriedly.
"Master said that the underground palace is full of black crystals that can absorb spiritual energy. You have stayed at the bottom of this pit for so long. Are you okay?" The anxiety in the girl's eyes was obvious. Xie Feng glanced at Xu Xing and shook his head slightly.
The smile on Xu Xing's face faded a little.
The next person to come up was Song Shiyu. She had broken ribs and gasped in pain. Her hand loosened and she almost fell down again. Xie Feng looked at her and held out his hand.
Song Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then said sarcastically, "You really are willing to let bygones be bygones. You're a great sage, you know."
"Come up." Xie Feng didn't say anything, he just held her palm and pulled her up.
The palms of their hands separated as soon as they touched. Song Shiyu shook his hand in disgust. Xie Feng had already turned around to talk to Li Zhaoyue.
She cursed inwardly and wiped her hands vigorously on her clothes.
"Ouch! Someone help me! My leg is broken." Fang Yu's complaint came from the edge of the pit. Song Shiyu raised his lips slightly, stumbled to the edge of the pit, and kicked the rope.
"Song Shiyu, fuck..."
Fang Yu cursed rapidly, but the rapidity of his descent wiped out all his words, leaving them as distant calls. Song Shiyu lay sprawled on the edge of the pit, laughing so hard he couldn't breathe.
"How can you be so careless? You've been injured so badly, and yet you still don't care." She spoke in a reproachful tone and mocked the words.
Fang Yu seemed to be cursing something, but because he was at the bottom of the pit, no one could hear him. The clearest thing he heard was "Pull me up."
Xie Feng glanced at the complacent Song Shiyu and casually threw a talisman to the bottom of the pit. Soon, the unconscious Fang Yu was carried out.
"Pfft." Xu Xing couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the dying Fang Yu. Li Zhaoyue behind him also laughed.
"Song Shiyu, you bitch..." Although Fang Yu was weak, he still did not forget to scold Song Shiyu.
"You're already unconscious but still talking shit." Song Shiyu looked at him with disgust and said while covering his nose.
Fang Yu's eyes widened, a wheezing sound emanated from his throat, and his face flushed red. He looked like he was about to pass out. Just then, Xu Xing stepped forward, pulled Fang Yu up from the ground, and hoisted her onto his shoulders. He sighed, "You can't argue with her. Save some energy to stay alive."
Fang Yu grunted, his eyes widened, and his face turned redder, as if he was about to start cursing.
Li Zhaoyue and Xie Feng looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, okay," Song Shiyu came over, patted his head, and said lovingly, "I'll let you go."
Give in? Fang Yu was almost mad. What does give in mean?
But when he tried to speak, a pair of hands quickly and ruthlessly covered his mouth. He looked closely and saw that it was Li Zhaoyue.
She frowned slightly and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, but you really can't speak now. You don't have much spiritual energy left in your body, and there are black crystals here. Talking will consume spiritual energy. So..."
With a single slash of her hand, she precisely struck Fang Yu's acupoint.
A sharp pain came from his shoulder. Fang Yu opened his eyes unwillingly and stared at Li Zhaoyue.
She still had that confused expression on her face, and even gave him an apologetic smile.
He was so angry that he almost died.
Fang Yu rolled his eyes and fainted completely.
*
The events of Cangyun City have come to a temporary end. Lou Ze's conspiracy has been exposed and he has been taken to the Golden Immortal Platform by Zhu Ming. He will face public questioning in ten days and will eventually be sealed into the lower realm and will never be allowed to enter the floating island again.
This treatment silenced the public's gossip, and everyone scolded the Lou family for being ungrateful. For a time, the disciples of the Lou family in Yiziyuan were like rats crossing the street, and everyone wanted to kill them.
Because Lou Daoyan took the initiative to expose Lou Ze, he was not affected and even stayed in Yiziyuan.
On the day he returned, Li Zhaoyue saw from afar a man covered with a white cloth being carried out of Yiziyuan in the crowd.
"What is that?" she asked curiously.
The medical student next to him pinched his nose and said disdainfully, "It's Zheng Hai from the Art Court. They say his meridians were shattered when he was found, and he was tortured beyond recognition."
Zheng Hai?
Li Zhaoyue recalled that memory and felt a chill in her heart, but out of curiosity, she still looked over there several times.
The wind blew in the square, lifting a corner of the white cloth, revealing Zheng Hai's face with his eyes open in death.
She was shocked, looked away quickly and left quickly.
After the turmoil ended, the disciples of Feng Shui Academy were greeted by the announcement of the exam results.
Li Zhaoyue stood at the end of the line, waiting anxiously.
"How is it? How is it? What's your ranking?" someone asked.
"It's not bad, it's not bad, you're ranked over 50. I saw yours, you're ranked over 70. Anyway, only the last person has to clean that place."
The disciples who saw the results first all breathed a sigh of relief. In the crowd, everyone's eyes vaguely fell on the girl in yellow.
Li Zhaoyue frowned and looked back at those questioning eyes.
The crowd stirred again, and then she felt the gazes disappear. She looked up and saw Xu Xing standing in front of her, accompanied by He Shuyu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
