The Qingsha Beast looks very down-to-earth. Wherever it is placed, it looks like a rockery made of piled stones. Its body is covered with grayish-brown scales, and its bulky size and shape make it easy to overlook as a lifeless creature and mistake it for a lowly beast.
In reality, the intelligence of a sixth-tier Azure Sand Beast is no different from that of an adult.
It can even read people's minds.
Therefore, Wen Jingge was stunned when she saw that the Azure Sand Beast had taken away the envelope containing her own drawings.
How could this silly boy think that faith is the most important thing?
What frustrated Wen Jingge even more was that if the letter was taken, she could just go back and ask him for one. Why was he staring at these inanimate objects? What wasn't more important than his own life?
"Oh? Interesting, interesting." The Azure Sand Beast was enormous, and to it, Qiao Yu's collision was like a mosquito biting a piece of iron, causing no pain or itch.
What intrigued it was that Qiao Yu possessed another precious item.
With this question in mind, it lifted Qiao Yu up, extended its sharp claws, and hooked the vine chain around his neck. "This jade isn't anything special! How could it be this?"
Qiao Yu was held in its hand, raised high, her legs dangling in the air, her cheeks flushed from difficulty breathing.
"You! Give it back to me! I can't give it to you! It's very important to me! Cough cough! Important!"
"More important than your life?" The Azure Sand Beast threw him to the ground and casually tore off the jade: "That's right, that's what they all say, and they're always so reluctant to part with it. In the end, what happens when they can't bear to part with it?"
Yes, I'm going to take their lives.
"Heh heh, kid, since they're all equally important, why not spare your life as well?"
Qiao Yu felt utterly hopeless, his thoughts momentarily frozen. He thought, this time, he really was going to die.
"Give up already?" The Azure Sand Beast sneered, grabbing the jade and the envelope before heading into the cave behind it. "I thought he was some kind of child who had encountered some extraordinary adventure! He's nothing special!"
"Give it back!" He got up from the ground, moving very slowly, one step at a time, his steps becoming sluggish, but he was extremely confident that he could stand up.
He knew he couldn't give up; his master was still waiting for him to complete the mission!
Yes, only after completing the mission will his master treat him better, and only then can he continue to live peacefully on Wanzhang Peak.
The Green Sand Beast stood quietly at the cave entrance, as if watching a clown performing a comical silent play.
Aren't you going to help?
"What's the rush? He's the main character, how can he die so easily?"
What if he/she dies?
"So what if he's dead!"
[...]
"But you're the one getting impatient?"
[...] "Non-existent" has learned to shut up.
"Give it back! Give it back!" Qiao Yu pounded her little fist on the Green Sand Beast, but was bounced back, while the Green Sand Beast stood firmly in place.
He went back and forth dozens of times without giving up, and the Azure Sand Beast finally showed a hint of emotion: "Even if I return it to you, can you leave now?"
Qiao Yu was stunned, then looked towards the outer mountain, her mind in a daze. "Yes, even if we have to climb, we have to climb over there."
"Ha, I pity you." The Azure Sand Beast turned and went into the cave. "You can continue crawling outside. The Xuan Yun Sect is full of hypocrites. What future do you have if you protect them? You might as well die quickly!"
"No! I won't allow you to dishonor my sect!" His eyes were bloodshot. His master treated him badly because he hadn't seen his value yet, but his senior brother treated him extremely well. On that desolate ten-thousand-foot peak, he had even eaten the most delicious food in the world.
These kindnesses are enough for him to remember, enough for him to do this well, and enough for him to repay with time.
"help me!"
【Huh?】 "It doesn't exist" made me think I was hallucinating, and it turned out that it really was a hallucination.
Because Wen Jingge has already left.
She had concealed her cultivation level with medicine beforehand; at this moment, she was still herself, yet she was no longer herself.
At least in Qiao Yu's eyes, the stranger who suddenly appeared in the forest was not his master, but an elderly man.
The man was a little hunched over, leaning on a cane as he walked with a stoop, looking like an elderly person.
He was completely wrapped in a black robe, obscuring his face. His gait was steady, yet he moved with the speed of the wind, clearly indicating that he was a cultivator.
The Xuan Yun Sect is very large. In addition to the seven peaks where the seven peak masters and their personal disciples live, there are also some other mountains located between the seven peaks and the outer mountains, where the elders and ordinary disciples live.
Qiao Yu knew that she was still a long way from the outer mountain, so the man who appeared here was most likely from the sect.
Overjoyed, he wept, wanting to make a sound to warn the man that a demonic beast lurked in the nearby cave, but his throat was already too sore to utter a sound.
"Hehehehe..."
Seeing his expression, Wen Jingge was about to reflexively say "disgusting" when she suddenly remembered that she was no longer "Wen Jingge". Her tone was still stern, but it inexplicably took on a human touch: "Have you cried enough?"
Qiao Yu stared wide-eyed, completely at a loss.
"Can you get up?"
Qiao Yu tried, but he was too weak. He was seriously injured, had lost enough blood, and his body was numb with pain.
"Waiting to die, huh?" the man chuckled mockingly, then tossed a knife to Qiao Yu's side. "Would you rather kill yourself?"
Qiao Yu looked at him in surprise, wondering who this man was and what he was doing here...
"You can't even commit suicide? Didn't you say you could crawl back even if you had to? What nonsense!" After saying that, the man stood beside him for a while, staring at the clothes he had been wearing for the past six months. "Which peak did you come from? You're dressed in coarse linen and aren't you ashamed... Wen Jingge, hmm, they said they took on a disciple today, it can't be you, can it?"
Qiao Yu's eyes flickered, then she looked at the man's foot pressing on her chest:
Could this person be Master's enemy?
Could it be that even if he didn't die at the hands of the demon beasts, he would still be killed by his master's enemy?
"Wasn't he supposed to be a natural sword blank? He doesn't have a single trace of Xuan power, he's way inferior to your master and grandmaster, isn't he? Hey! Kid, you didn't tamper with the Xuan stone, did you!"
rustling, rustling
Qiao Yu suddenly opened her eyes wide, and after much effort, finally raised her hand and pointed behind the man.
But it was too late.
The Azure Sand Beast stood behind the man, twice his height. Upon seeing Qiao Yu's actions, it defiantly raised its paw. However, just as it was about to strike, it heard the man speak:
"You've had it pretty tough, reaching the sixth rank and still not being discovered by the Xuan Yun Sect."
The man turned around to face the Azure Sand Beast. Although he was completely outmatched in size by the Azure Sand Beast, Qiao Yu felt that the man in front of him possessed the spirit to change the world just by looking at his back. His spirits lifted immediately, and he felt a warm current flowing in his lower abdomen.
The green sand beast's yellow lantern-like eyes narrowed, a hint of confusion flashing across its face. It felt that the person's aura was very familiar.
The man sneered and said indifferently, "Tired of holding your claws up?"
