I went back inside, feeling somewhat agitated, though I didn't know why.
But the thought of what happened this time is terrifying!
Just like last time, the Rat once again used the people around me to attack me.
This situation makes me feel like I can't guard against it at all.
I know that the only way to solve all these problems is to improve myself and become stronger.
I am still shaken. If it had been the enemy who came, I probably would have died once already.
Disaster always strikes when you're desperate, and luck can't save me every time.
Last time, Zishu suffered a loss at Master's hands, and he must hate me to the bone now.
If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been strangled to death.
It is already quite difficult to completely catch the Rat.
He is a cunning opponent, full of schemes and tricks.
what do I do?
Just as I was feeling a bit lost, a phone call broke my train of thought.
I took out my phone and saw the incoming call, and felt inexplicably at ease.
"Hey, Master."
The voice on the other end of the phone: "Xiaoxi, are you home?"
"Your master's wife and I just returned from the Taoist Association. This matter is quite difficult to handle. You should come over; we need to ask for your opinion."
Judging from his master's somewhat somber tone, this mission must be very dangerous.
"Yes, Master, I will go back with my senior brother right away."
"Oh? Junior Nephew Wu is here too? Then come along."
I responded and hung up the phone.
I walked up to Xixi and said, "Xixi, don't stay at home for now."
"Take Sister Jiang Lu with you and come back to the Taoist temple with us. We need Master's help to find a solution to this matter."
I definitely won't let Xixi and the others stay at home anymore; it's not safe here anymore.
The Rat is despicable. If he comes back after we leave, things will really get complicated.
This place is not safe to stay!
Xixi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. I'm not too worried about my sister in her current condition."
It's fair to say that this whole affair started because of me, and I can't ignore it.
I walked to the door and asked Wu Shi with a teasing look, "What? Why aren't you coming in, senior brother?"
Wu Shi was a little embarrassed: "Hehe, the air outside is nice."
I rolled my eyes at Wu Shi: "Come on, Master is telling us to go back."
Wu Shi nodded: "It must be the task that was issued by the association."
I shook my head: "I'm not sure, but judging from Master's tone, something big must have happened."
"I plan to bring Xixi and Sister Jianglu along and ask my master for help in finding a solution."
"Well, it's best if no one lives here for now. We can have our martial uncles set up an array later," Wu Shi said thoughtfully.
I sighed: "We can only take it one step at a time for now."
In the dark, Wu Shi and I took turns driving back to the Taoist temple.
The sky was beginning to lighten, and many unfamiliar faces appeared in the courtyard.
The master is talking to one of the groups.
Judging from their attire, they must be members of the Taoist Association.
Most of them wore plain-colored Taoist robes, but one person's robe stood out.
The man wore a crimson robe with a phoenix engraved on it.
That person didn't speak to anyone else, but just sat quietly to the side. His powerful aura alone was enough to make people not dare to underestimate him.
I can feel the pressure emanating from the other person just by looking at them.
I went straight to my master and said, "Master, we're back."
When my master saw me return, he pulled me into the main hall.
Inside the main hall, my master's wife was also there. When she saw me arrive, she wanted to speak, but she stopped herself.
The master's wife turned her gaze to the master.
My master simply gestured for me to sit down, while he sat in a chair to the side.
"Xiao Xi, you'd better not go on this mission."
I was a little confused: "Master, what happened?"
The master sighed: "Alas, this matter is more troublesome than we thought."
"As you can see, those people in the courtyard are all experts from the nearby Taoist Association."
"This mission is on the southern border, and the zombies we're dealing with this time are from outside the country."
"This battle concerns the nation, and there are already forces fighting against it over there."
"Even the Xiangxi corpse-driving families, which we Taoists have always opposed, have participated in the war of resistance this time."
"The government and the association are trying their best to suppress this matter, but there are no secrets that stay hidden forever, and this matter will be exposed sooner or later."
"We must resolve this matter before it comes to light."
"This operation is too dangerous; we don't even know if we will survive."
"You're still young, you should understand what I mean."
Looking at my master's serious expression, I naturally understood that he was doing it for my own good.
I let out a long sigh: "I understand what you mean, but where can I hide?"
"To be honest, just now, Zishu attacked Xixi and the others!"
"If Wu Shi and I hadn't been lucky, you might not have been able to meet me."
I recounted everything that happened last night to my master.
My master frowned as he listened, his expression growing increasingly cold. I could tell he was angry!
The master remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that my master was somewhat moved, I quickly said:
"So Master, I have nowhere to escape."
"Let me go. If I can't grow, I'll always be in danger."
