…
The feeling of panic gradually faded as the distance increased, and the carriage gradually returned to stability.
Fourteen released the seat he was holding tightly to, with fear still in his eyes, but he had regained some of his rationality.
He raised his head to look at Sheng, but saw that the weak and vulnerable Miss Sheng yesterday was now a little pale, but her expression was surprisingly calm, without any sign of shock or fear.
The words of comfort that filled my mouth were stuck in my throat. Was I...was I hallucinating?
Fourteen couldn't help but wipe his eyes and looked at Xiang Sheng again, but saw that Xiang Sheng was looking at him with his eyes lowered, with red circles around his eyes, as if he had just cried.
It was indeed an illusion.
Fourteen breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't say any words of comfort.
When she first discovered the village had vanished, what was Miss Sheng's reaction? She was so frightened and panicked that she couldn't recall anything.
"You...you go out first."
Xiang Sheng's voice was soft and tender, with a hint of shyness, "Thank you for helping me hold the seat steady."
Fourteen was called back to consciousness, his face flushed, "I'll go out right away."
It is indeed inappropriate for a single man and a single woman to be in the same room.
When Fourteen left, the tenderness on Xiang Sheng's face instantly disappeared and turned gloomy.
She had a premonition that something would happen, but she didn't expect the disaster to be so sudden and sudden. Dozens of people disappeared overnight, with no one finding their bodies.
She firmly believed that she made the right choice yesterday.
If she was to tell the truth, it was not Butler Fu who was unlucky yesterday, but herself. She thought she was not so kind as to sacrifice herself for others.
But she ultimately underestimated the consequences of the situation.
She thought that even if something happened, the final result would only be a few deaths, and Housekeeper Fu would lead most of the people to escape, but reality slapped her hard in the face.
So many people were easily wiped out without making any noise. Qin Ji was so frightened that he didn't even dare to investigate and simply led them on a desperate escape.
It turns out that she was naive before. Is this the world of cultivation?
"What is the world of cultivation? Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs; immortals are also unkind, treating mortals as straw dogs. There are thousands of paths in the world of cultivation, but in fact there is only one path to take.
If you could come, I would take you to see it with your own eyes. Even if I tell you a thousand times, you may not understand, but one look and you will understand everything.
Xiang Sheng closed his eyes, then opened them again. A calm and clear voice seemed to ring faintly in his ears.
She used to often hear him muttering in her dreams, but she didn't understand. But now she feels that the meaning of his words is extremely simple.
If she doesn't want to be a straw dog, she has to become stronger, so strong that no one can treat her as a straw dog.
…
In a blink of an eye, two days had passed since the village disappeared. Xiang Sheng and his two companions rode non-stop and finally arrived at the gate of Chiyan Sect in the evening of that day.
Over the past two days, Xiang Sheng's complexion has become more and more beautiful. His yellowish face has become white and translucent, and his skinny body has become plump. He has finally revealed his original appearance. The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment.
"Have you seen enough?"
Qin Ji scolded coldly. The gatekeeper disciple came to his senses, glared at Qin Ji fiercely, and then threw the token into the misty gatekeeping formation.
Soon, a transparent portal appeared in the white fog. Qin Ji led Xiang Sheng and the others into it, and the portal immediately began to shrink.
"Bah! What a person! She's just a maidservant of an inner sect disciple, yet she dares to yell at us."
"Keep your voice down. The formation isn't closed yet. They can all hear it."
"I just want them to hear it! She's just a lowly slave, she's just a bit lucky. When her master has had enough fun with her, I'll make her pay sooner or later."
Xiang Sheng listened attentively and cast a concerned look at Qin Ji. Shi Si couldn't help but say, "I'll go teach them a lesson."
"Shut up! This is not a place. If you want to survive, talk less."
Qin Ji scolded Shi Si harshly, then turned to look at Xiang Sheng, speaking in a slower tone, "Miss Sheng, don't take it to heart. It's common for outer disciples to look down on people like us, but they only dare to gossip behind our backs. You don't have to take it to heart."
Xiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, "We?"
Qin Ji pursed her lips and avoided answering, "I'll take you to see the Master."
After passing through the misty formation, Xiang Sheng thought he would see an immortal-like atmosphere, but in the end he just walked up a rugged mountain path.
She didn't see any of the cranes or flying monks described in the novel, not even a few people, before she arrived at the place.
"This mountain is called Dangchen Peak, one of the three inner sect peaks of the Chiyan Sect. All of the inner sect disciples live here. The villa where our young master lives is close to the top of the mountain. In terms of spiritual energy concentration, it is also among the best among the many inner sect disciples."
After a brief introduction to Qinji, he pushed open the small door next to the courtyard.
The servant guarding the gate saw that it was Qinji who had returned and quickly bowed respectfully, "Master Qinji."
Qin Ji hummed softly, "Where is the young master now?"
"The young master is currently practicing in the backyard."
After the servant finished replying, he couldn't help but glance at Sheng secretly.
Is this Miss Sheng? No wonder the young master has been obsessed with her. Apart from her temperament, she is no worse than those true fairies.
