Damn, what a hell of a place this is, it’s so torturous.
It wasn’t until Liang Meng’s back ached and legs cramped from the torture of this posture that she remembered: Damn, why wasn’t I squatting???
......
When I woke up in the morning, the sunlight stretched lazily and swayed through the paper window into the house.
With a bang.
Yun Nian's door was pushed open rudely by the visitor.
"Yun Xuchen!"
A voice filled with worry and fear suddenly rang out like thunder. I was so flustered that I almost tripped over the threshold.
Chuanqi, who was standing in the hall, had a face as pale as a sheet of white paper, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked at Yun Xuchen who hurried out of the house with a look of panic.
Yun Xuchen always gets up early and is now dressed neatly.
"What happened?"
Yun Xuchen's voice was rarely tinged with a hint of anxiety.
The only thing that could make Legend so anxious and lose his composure is...
"Something happened to the Hall Master!"
"What did you say?"
Yun Xuchen's guess was confirmed, and his body shook slightly. His heart sank.
His eyes suddenly turned fierce as he looked at Chuanqi, but his slightly trembling lips revealed the same panic in his heart as Chuanqi.
A large hand tugged at Chuanqi's collar, and the veins on his fair face stood out. Chuanqi was forced to raise his neck. He didn't dare to look directly into Yun Xuchen's questioning eyes, and lowered his gaze in regret.
"How did you protect her?"
Yun Xuchen's low voice was unstable. He grabbed Chuanqi's collar and threw it angrily. Chuanqi staggered and knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Legend be damned!"
"stand up!"
Seeing that Chuanqi still had time to talk about these useless things, Yun Xuchen's tone was very impatient.
Legend quickly stood up.
"When did she disappear? Could she have gone out on her own?"
Yun Xuchen paced back and forth in the room, like a trapped wild animal, searching for a way out of its cage.
He tried hard to calm himself down, but when he thought of Liang Meng being in a very dangerous situation that he didn't know about, he couldn't calm down.
My heart had already stopped beating, my mind was in a mess, and all kinds of dangerous scenes kept flashing through my mind.
Yun Xuchen never believed in fate or God, but at this moment he couldn't help but pray in his heart, hoping that she had just run away because she was having fun.
But the legendary words shattered the vague hope in his heart.
"No. The hall master's shoes are still on the ground."
Yun Xuchen's body stiffened, his eyes closed weakly. His hands hanging at his sides trembled slightly, then suddenly clenched.
No! You have to calm down!
"Could it be Lingyou..."
Chuanqi looked at Yun Xuchen's stern expression and spoke hesitantly. However, before he could finish, Yun Xuchen interrupted him with a firm tone.
"Impossible! With the Lingxuantu, he can't escape."
In fact, Chuanqi had another guess in his mind, but if this guess came true, then the head of his family would be in danger.
After swallowing, Legend took a deep breath and spoke, fearing the consequences of being severely punished later.
Her lips parted slightly, but before she could say anything, Yun Xuchen spoke first.
"A few days ago...were there any suspicious people among those people?"
Yun Xuchen refers to the people who flocked into Yunmeng Hall like the sea on the day of Yunmeng Hall’s free promotion.
Chuanqi understood what Yun Xuchen was asking. His dark eyes fixed on a point in the air, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly and firmly shook his head.
"No."
Seeing Yun Xuchen frowning slightly, Chuanqi continued to explain.
"I was afraid that the spirits would take the opportunity to sneak in, so I set up a barrier at the door before I opened it that day. If the spirits wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in, even if they wouldn't be hurt by the barrier, I would definitely not be completely unaware of it."
Legend is not a careless person. Since he said so, he must have made all the preparations.
However, everything in the world has a solution. The barrier set by the legend is so that the spirits cannot enter, but if...
"Nothing is absolute. If the spirits want to sneak in... they can only..."
Yun Xuchen's voice became lower and lower, but the viciousness in it made people shudder.
"Water Maiden?!!"
Chuanqi suddenly turned to look at Yun Xuchen, his eyes suddenly widening. In disbelief, yet with absolute certainty, he finished what Yun Xuchen had left unsaid.
Yun Xuchen turned sideways and looked at him. Although he didn't say a word, Chuanqi still knew the answer.
"I'll go find her!"
The eyes that had always been gentle and docile were instantly dyed with a bloodthirsty scarlet. After the legend was finished, he turned around and walked out the door.
He was stopped by Yun Xuchen's harsh shout.
"There will be plenty of time to settle the score later, but saving her is the most important thing now."
"yes."
Legend regained his sanity, turned around and stood in front of Yun Xuchen again.
"Then... where will they take the Hall Master?"
Thinking of the Hall Master being in the hands of the Spirit Tribe, Chuanqi was at a loss again. His head seemed to be in a knot, and he couldn't think calmly at all. He could only look at Yun Xuchen anxiously.
Yun Xuchen didn't say anything else, but lowered his head and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve.
The handkerchief was pure white, like the clouds in the sky, unblemished by a single impurity. Only a single red flower was embroidered on the edge... well, the embroiderer's craftsmanship was truly questionable; it was impossible to tell what was embroidered on the handkerchief.
As soon as Chuanqi saw the handkerchief, his mood suddenly turned sad. His body trembled slightly in an instant, shrouded in sadness, and tears appeared in his eyes.
She stared at the white handkerchief with painful eyes and blinked hard to stop herself from crying uncontrollably.
Yun Xuchen clutched the handkerchief tightly in his palm, lowering his head and staring intently for a long time, his fingertips rubbing the red spot on the handkerchief back and forth with obvious reluctance.
Finally, he closed his eyes in forbearance, and when he opened them again, his eyes were as gloomy as water, as if he had made up his mind.
He raised his arms, crossed his hands wrapped in a handkerchief in front of his chest, opened his thin lips slightly, and murmured a spell.
After a moment, Yun Xuchen's fingertips trembled slightly, and then he released them without hesitation. The white handkerchief flew away from Yun Xuchen's fingertips and floated into the air.
Yun Xuchen stretched out two fingers and pointed them directly at the handkerchief floating in the air while chanting a spell.
The handkerchief was instantly ignited, and the bluish flame gradually engulfed the handkerchief.
Yun Xuchen and Chuanqi stared at it intently, their eyes showing the same reluctance. After a while, the handkerchief was finally burned to ashes.
Yun Xuchen reached out and gathered the ashes into his palm, covered them with two fingers of his other hand, then closed his eyes and continued to recite the spell.
"In the wilderness!"
Suddenly, Yun Xuchen opened his eyes, his voice was cold, and his eyes flashed with terrifying murderous intent.
"I'm going too."
When Chuanqi heard the news about Liang Meng, his face lit up with joy and he was about to follow Yun Xuchen. But he had just taken a step when Yun Xuchen raised his hand to block his way.
"You stay here."
A cold and tough attitude that cannot be rejected at all.
"I……"
Chuanqi frowned slightly and looked at Yun Xuchen pleadingly, hoping that Yun Xuchen would give him a chance to redeem himself.
But the four words "Yun Xuchen" made Chuanqi lower his eyes and become gentle.
"in case!"
