Nangong Ling'er asked Bai Yao to recount what had happened. Shen Huairu and Nangong Ling'er exchanged a glance and both frowned. "Oh no, Senior Brother Xiao wants to go to the Heavenly Demon Abyss by himself."
Shen Huairu said, "Su Yan mentioned some information about the Heavenly Demon Abyss earlier, and then he whispered a few words to Junior Brother Xiao. I don't know what they said, but I suppose Junior Brother Xiao must have thought of some plan... No, it's too dangerous. We need to hurry and chase after him."
At this moment, Bai Yao hesitated, clenching her fists and remaining silent. Nangong Ling'er looked at Bai Yao and said, "Girl, your master said those harsh words to you because he doesn't want you to follow him. Don't take it to heart. You know your master. He's just that kind of person. He'll probably do what he did before, wanting to solve everything by himself."
Bai Yao was skeptical. "Junior Uncle...do you mean...Master doesn't really blame me?"
"Sigh... How can such a smart girl like you not understand? Think about it, you're one of the disciples your senior brother cares about most, so why would she say so many harsh words? Because he knows that no matter how he explains it to you, you'll still go, right? Because you feel you can help and want to help her. But I also don't understand. If your senior brother really has a way and is confident in solving everything, he wouldn't be afraid of having you as an extra helper. If he's just worried about you, he probably wouldn't be like this. After all, Yao'er, your strength is already more than enough for your senior brother to worry about. Could it be..."
At this moment, Shen Huairu spoke up: "Either this time we go and never come back, or... Bai Yao is really the key to Yu Hui breaking the seal, so he can't let his junior disciple Bai Yao go with him."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ling'er glanced at Bai Yao and said, "No, if Senior Brother goes, he'll probably die on the way before he can even find Yu Hui."
Shen Huairu nodded. "This morning, news came from the Northern Border that the Snow Cold Blade Sect had been wiped out, and the Southern Gate's regret was nowhere to be found. What's even more alarming is that Zhang Chengfeng reported today that the Western Liang Demon-Defying Great Wall army was pressing in, and the Kunlun Immortal Sect was attacked almost simultaneously. It seems that this is not just an operation targeting our Heavenly Sword Sect!"
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er's thoughts were clear, and she immediately said, "Let's go to the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall together. Our Heavenly Sword Sect is already in this state, and now even the Snow Cold Blade Sect has been wiped out. If this continues, all the immortal sects in the world will be in danger. There are many experts on the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall. We need to accumulate strength now. Moreover, most of the older generation of elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect are still on the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall. If we want to turn the tide, we must gather our strength."
Shen Huairu thought for a moment and said, "Junior Sister, the matter of the Heavenly Sword Sect is not over yet. Since the Blood Lotus Sect obeys your orders, you can stay here. I will have Ai Yue and Lu Yuan stay to assist you, but they are not allowed to act rashly. You only need to find out if Senior Brother Liu is still alive, and be wary of Wen Xiao's actions at all times. Keep in touch with him. I will take the remaining disciples and Yao'er to the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall. No matter what happens there, at least that place is the closest to the Heavenly Demon Ravine."
After hearing this, Nangong Ling'er pondered for a long time before finally nodding in agreement, "Senior Sister, when do we set off?"
Shen Huairu picked up his sword and stood up, then glanced at Bai Yao, "Leave immediately!"
Nangong Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Senior sister, we don't know when we'll meet again after this parting, so you must live well."
Shen Huairu nodded without saying anything more. Just as she reached the door, Bai Yao bowed to Nangong Ling'er and then got up to follow her.
Nangong Ling'er looked at her senior sister's retreating figure, feeling somewhat uneasy. "Senior sister!"
Shen Huairu turned her head. "Hmm? What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Nangong Ling'er's eyes immediately reddened. "Senior sister, you really... really can't die. Even if Ling'er dies, you can't die."
"Silly girl, you're not a child anymore! Don't talk nonsense, and don't cry. What kind of behavior is this? When did you become like Yao'er, only knowing how to cry?" A hint of tenderness flashed in Shen Huairu's eyes.
Nangong Ling'er suddenly gave a bitter laugh, "Senior sister, smile more. You look so beautiful when you smile. Don't always have such a cold face."
Shen Huairu shook her head, but still smiled slightly and said, "Alright, silly girl, that's fine. You should stay put. If anything happens in Lingsu City, you have to fulfill your responsibilities as an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
