"Have you two had enough?" Seeing that the two were not speaking, Qu Xiu was unhappy that he had no one to eavesdrop. "After you've finished catching up, give me the talisman. I'll go down and test Cheng Han for you to see if he knows anything."
"There are so many people here now, I'm hoping to hear some gossip."
"What's so interesting about your own gossip?" Qu Xiu said in a muffled voice. "If you want to know, just ask me."
"From what you've said, I might as well just go and look up some folk tales about me. Legend has it that I'm actually a man, and that I had a tragic past with my senior sister. Is that even true?"
Qu Xiu rolled his eyes, looking utterly hopeless. He decided not to bother Wen Jinge anymore.
He was very agile and rolled to Lu Wei's side in an instant. "Brother, your face looks dark, this might be a bad omen!"
“An ancient demon god who once wiped out his own clan, you call him a great calamity? You must be joking!” Wen Jingge laughed.
"Now, let's talk about this Master Wen! His origins are unknown. He has been associated with demons since childhood and can speak the language of beasts. In the past, Xuan Yun Sect was a place with miasma and few people. The disciples who went there to become his disciples were all recruited by the elders themselves after they went down the mountain."
Later, thanks to this Immortal Master Wen, the cause of the miasma was discovered, and soon after, the Xuan Yun Sect began to widely accept disciples. I'm sure many of you from the older generation have had dealings with her; you all suffered at her hands. I won't go into details, nor would I dare to.
The leader of the Tu Luo Sect chuckled awkwardly, and no one refuted his words.
Many of the young and impetuous Xuan Masters were beaten back then, so much so that in this generation, apart from the people of the three major sects, the rest would rather avoid Wen Jinge than not.
If it weren't for this, Qu Xiu wouldn't have used Wen Jinge as a pretext last night, claiming that she wanted to start the trial a day early.
"Let's talk about the sixth-ranked bookworm."
"I remember he wasn't always a bookworm, was he?"
"That seems to be true!" The sect leader of the Tu Luo Sect sorted out his thoughts. "I remember when I was a child, all I heard from my elders was about the wisdom of this Dharma cultivator. Later, after his junior brother's legs were crippled by the demonic cultivator, he seemed to become a different person. Master Wen also changed from that time."
"A sect as large as Xuan Yun Sect doesn't even communicate with small sects like ours. Who knows what happened back then! First it was Xuan Yun Sect, then the Secret Treasury Sect, and finally Qinghe Mountain. The demons from the Northern Demon Domain have quite a lot to ask for!"
"Get to the point, why bring up other things?" someone complained.
"Exactly! You've been keeping us in suspense the whole time, Cheng Han. If you had just told your story properly, the Tu Luo Sect probably wouldn't be where it is today!"
"That's not my problem!" Cheng Han smiled helplessly. "Are you all any better than me? This world is terrible! Sigh! Anyway, let's get back to business!"
"It is said that after his junior brother injured his leg, the bookworm focused on studying formations and accidentally injured himself." The Tu Luo Sect Master sighed as he said this. "It is said that when he was first discovered, this junior brother was still living on Wan Zhang Peak. It was because his leg was likely to fail that Master Wen gave the Ling Xiao Peak, which he had built like a fairyland, to this junior brother."
How did you know it was built like a fairyland?
"Lingxiao Peak is warm and spring-like all year round. Next are Qinghong Peak and Qimu Peak. One belongs to the herbalist and the other to Peak Master Bai. As for Lingxiao Peak, don't you think about how many rare treasures Bu Suanzi and Wen Xianshi plundered from various sects when they were begging for alms?"
This is probably why no one dares to be jealous of Master Wen!
Although she had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with, she was very protective of her fellow disciples. Later, she even suffered a mental breakdown because of her junior brother's situation, and was confined to Wanzhang Peak for over fifty years.
"How did those demonic cultivators get to Ten Thousand Zhang Peak? Don't you find that strange?" the leader of the Sun and Moon Alliance asked. "I heard that the same thing happened to those sects that were wiped out last time. Demons suddenly appeared in their territory and they were destroyed."
Could it be that before them, three sects actually took on a significant amount of burdens for us?
"This person is not simple either." Wen Jingge made a note in her notebook.
"I see you've written down so much, why don't you just put all these people who interrupt at night in sacks and have your man carry them into the house?"
“He’s not my man.” Wen Jingge glanced at him. “Besides, I only remember two now. No, that’s not right. That guy named Wei Qian is also a bit suspicious.”
"Are all the clothes in the Hundred Flowers Palace this revealing? This woman is probably older than one of my older disciples, and I can't stand her posing like this."
“You never do!” Qu Xiu sneered. “You could learn from others how to enhance your femininity.”
"What would I need that thing for? I can't eat it, and fighting and killing is not my thing!"
...
"Things like fighting and killing that don't require thinking are more suitable for me!" The girl's smile was still vivid in his mind; he really liked that cheerful smile.
Whenever I see the smile on her face, even the killing I least wanted to do becomes interesting.
He looked into the girl's eyes, those pale blue eyes sparkling like stars: "But you're very smart, you're not really brainless!"
The girl waved her hand dismissively, lay down beside the campfire, and pointed to the stars in the sky: "That's just the me you see, not the real me. Why use your brain if you don't have to! I like easy things. The Moon Shooting Clan is moving away, and I'll be leaving with them for a while."
He sighed, his gaze following her finger as she looked up at the sky: "Will you come back?"
"Probably!"
...
"Come back?"
“Hmm.” The girl nodded, her former smile gone. “They say we’re practically husband and wife now, but I can’t stay in White Deer’s territory any longer. I’ll only bring war to this land.”
"If I were to leave with you..."
"I have something to do." The girl's eyes, which were as bright as stars, seemed to be shrouded in mist, no longer pure, and a hint of sorrow appeared on her face.
"Is it tricky?"
“It’s a difficult situation. Perhaps I’ll never be able to come back.” She gave a bitter smile. “I need you to do something for me.”
"What's up?"
"Someday, someone will come to you to collect it." She took the dagger and stabbed it into her own eyes, placing her blue eyes in his hand; the bloodied eye sockets looked empty.
Lu Wei held her hand, noticing her vulnerability, "Why?"
“There’s no why… This is very important… The Primordial God… is finally about to begin the cleansing… Lu Wei… Remember to wait for me to come back…”
"What if they can't come back?"
"Even if they can't come back... we'll wait... they'll eventually... come back."
"They'll always come back?" He paused, taken aback.
