After she stood there in silence for a while, the three major sects finally came up with a rule: Mu Qingge would be guarded by Jiuhua Sect on weekdays, and if she dared to act rashly, Jiuhua Sect would kill her immediately! Otherwise, the two major sects would take over.
If the powerful people from the other two major sects encounter a natural disaster, the disciples of Jiuhua Sect will do their best to help them.
Everyone was happy with this distribution.
Just after the people from the other two major sects had finally dispersed, Mu Qingge turned around and looked at Master Kaiyuan with a smile. She glanced at the folding fan in his hand - there was a picture of a crouching tiger under banana leaves painted on it, with a white tiger lying under a few banana leaves to enjoy the cool air.
This fan was painted by Mu Qingge herself in the past, and was taken away by the current emperor, Su Yu, who was still a little prince at that time.
The world of cultivation and the human world are like water from the well and water from the river.
Mu Qingge was involved in the vortex of the dragon's seizure of the throne, which was already a big mistake. And Su Yu was the emperor, so even if he was grateful for Mu Qingge's help and wanted to rescue her, it would be difficult for him to personally go out and provoke the powerful immortals in the future.
However, his former benefactor was reborn, only to be reduced to a prisoner. How could he, as an emperor, sit idly by and watch?
It was obvious that Zhenren Kaiyuan was able to get the fan because he was entrusted by the emperor. At the same time, it hinted to Mu Qingge that Zhenren Kaiyuan would take care of her on behalf of the emperor.
So when she took a look at the fan just now, she immediately understood what it meant and chose the person sent by Jiuhua to "supervise" her.
Sure enough, after everyone left, Kaiyuan Zhenren took out the letter from His Majesty with a smile on his face and handed it to her.
Mu Qingge took the letter and read it slowly. The general meaning of the letter was that Kaiyuan Zhenren was a master trusted by His Majesty, and he would definitely take care of the warlike Empress Mu Qingge.
Kaiyuan Zhenren has always been smooth in his work, and it seems that he has many connections with the court of Daqi in secret. No wonder among the three major sects, only Jiuhua Sect has the most magnificent mountain gate, and its disciples are spread all over the world, with extraordinary strength.
Seeing the earnest words in the letter, she felt more at ease.
Look, everything is going better than she imagined - Mu Qingge is indeed notorious. But as long as she is willing, works harder, and stops wasting her innate talent, she can stand at the pinnacle of power and look down on the world!
Thinking of this, she wrapped her cloak tightly around her body and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in the wind: It's great to be able to live again. She will definitely be cautious at every step and live...more excitingly than Mu Qingge...!
Let’s not talk about how the powerful people distributed the ginseng fruit on the top of Mount Jue.
As for the Xishan sect that left early, the first thing the master and disciples did after going down the mountain was to find a restaurant in the town to have dinner.
In the past, because Su Yishui's appearance was sealed, in order not to scare people, the two Yu brothers and sisters rarely went to the bustling places in the town when they accompanied him down the mountain occasionally.
Firstly, it was not in line with the habit of immortal cultivators to live in seclusion. Secondly, he was afraid that Su Yishui would be ridiculed by those vulgar people.
But today, the master's seal has finally been lifted, and there is no need to wear a veil or a mask to cover up anymore.
Yu Tong was happy for his master, and with the encouragement of several of his disciples and nephews, he decided to spend a lot of money and choose a grand restaurant to have a youthful banquet.
Xue Ranran was hungry when she reached the top of the mountain. When the beautifully presented dishes were served on the table, her eyes lit up, and she picked up her chopsticks frequently, picking up the dishes, drinking the soup, and eating all in one go.
Qiu Xier had no appetite for the food as she just stared at her mentor, whose appearance reminded her of the banished immortal Pan An. Finally, she covered her chest and swallowed the emergency pill in one gulp to save her trembling heart.
My goodness, my teacher is so young and beautiful! How can I keep her heart and devote myself to cultivation?
When she was staring at him in fascination, Su Yishui suddenly raised his head and glanced at her.
Just a casual glance made the infatuated Qiu Xier shiver with coldness, and her heart beat even faster, but it was not palpitations but fear.
She no longer dared to look up at her master rudely, and just followed the example of her junior sister Ranran and focused on cooking.
After Ranran's stomach was one-third full, she picked up the modesty that a young girl should have, stopped eating and drinking by herself, and diligently served food and added soup to her master and uncle.
However, the master seemed not to have picked up his chopsticks at all. There was almost no trace of his fasting period. It seemed that after coming down from the mountain, he just ate some meals made by her when he was cooking in Juefeng Village.
During the rest of the time, Su Yishui would occasionally drink some water, but I never saw him eat anything he bought on the road.
I don’t know if this is the aftereffect of eating the “gluttonous pills” she made, but the master seems to only be willing to eat things she made herself.
Ran Ran was flattered, but she also felt a great responsibility on her shoulders. At least for the next meal, even if she was on the road, she had to find a way to make some warm food for her master.
After finishing the meal, Ranran obediently took the bag of medicine handed to him by his master, drank most of the bag of tree root water under his watchful eyes, and then started his journey back to Yongcheng West Mountain.
However, when they were not far from the town, Yu Tong whispered to Su Yishui: "Master, there is someone following us..."
Su Yishui did not respond, but walked leisurely with his disciples on the country path. It was obvious that he had noticed someone following him a long time ago, but he just kept silent.
Ranran had witnessed the bloody storm on the mountain, so naturally he would not think that the person secretly following him would be an admirer of his master.
She whispered to Su Yishui: "Why don't we go back?"
Su Yishui finally spoke up. He looked down at his apprentice and asked, "Why?"
Ran Ran whispered, "When we were on Jueshan Mountain, that devil Wei Yan agreed too readily. Human nature is greedy, and people with great abilities are even more disdainful of making choices. If possible, we can have our cake and eat it too... Didn't you say in your previous lectures that although the soul oath is reliable, it also has a fatal flaw, that is, if one of the parties to the soul oath is no longer in this world, the soul oath will automatically be lifted..."
Listening to the little girl's analysis in a low voice, Yu Tong and Yu Chen suddenly realized: Wei Yan was determined to get Mu Qingge, so how could he give up easily? It was just that he was afraid of Su Yishui joining forces with other powerful people, so he pretended to agree and got the key to the underworld first.
Then, after Su Yishui separates from the three major sects, they can start to eliminate him, thus completely releasing the soul oath that shackles Wei Yan.
Just as Ran Ran said, if we return to the town now, we might be able to merge with other immortal sects that have not left yet, so that the Wei demon will be hesitant to act rashly.
Thinking of this, Yu Tong said hurriedly: "Master, let's go back quickly. If anyone stops us, just go first, and my brother and I will cover your retreat!"
But Su Yishui just looked at Ranran deeply, and then continued to move forward.
Not far from them was the locust tree forest where they had come from.
Ran Ran remembered that the master had taken them to rest near this forest, and that the master often went for walks in the forest alone. Later, he took her into the forest to bury some seeds that she couldn't name...
At this moment, several disciples of the Red Sect dressed in black suddenly appeared, holding red fire umbrellas and attacked Su Yishui.
The Akamon belong to the fire element, and their umbrellas are equipped with a mechanism that contains not only the black oil from Kunlun Mountain that helps combustion, but also the spiritual power of the umbrella controller. As a result, ordinary flames are transformed into the Three Flavors True Fire, and if burned, flesh and blood will turn into charcoal in an instant.
So don’t get close to this fire!
Just as these disciples were approaching Su Yishui with fire umbrellas, Su Yishui started to twist his hands and drew water from the nearby river channel to resist with a wall of water.
At first, the water wall looked decent, eight feet high and difficult to cross. But in less than a cup of tea, the "wall" gradually became thinner and shorter.
All cultivators know that this is because of insufficient inner elixir and inability to sustain spiritual power! Su Yishui is indeed a paper tiger that can be broken with a single poke, and is completely vulnerable!
The attackers were delighted and fought more courageously!
Just when the sleeves of Su Yishui's robe were half burned by the real fire, he frowned and ordered the Yu brothers and sisters and disciples behind him: "Go into the forest immediately, each find a big tree wrapped in thick vines and climb up. No one is allowed to come down without my order!"
As he spoke, he picked up Ranran with one hand, tiptoed into the woods, and then jumped onto a big tree that was almost covered with wisteria.
After putting Ranran down, he asked her to hold on to a thick branch and sit down, then he turned around and jumped onto another nearby tree.
Qiu Xier was also carried up the tree by Second Uncle Yu Tong. As for the First Uncle and the other two brothers, they also climbed up the tree and waited patiently.
Ran Ran was still in shock and stared at the forest. At this time, the setting sun was still shining and the forest was filled with rosy clouds, so he could see everything clearly.
The forest floor was covered with thick purple vines, many of which had already climbed up the trees.
But just a few days ago, when she and her master walked into the forest, there were not so many thick vines growing here!
The tree where Ranran was standing was very tall. From that height, he could clearly see the eight large trees covered with wisteria, which were located in a corner of the woods.
The thick vines on the ground did not grow in a disorderly manner, but looked like a picture. When the vines were connected to the eight big trees, it looked like... like the Fuxi Bagua diagram drawn by the fortune teller!
However, there were seven of them, including the master and his disciples, each occupying a big tree, and the other tree was unoccupied, looking empty.
...No, there is something on that empty tree, a white fluffy ball. Isn't it the white cat that Master raised in the cave in the West Mountain? When did it come here?
At this time, the white cat climbed to the top of the tree, puffed out its mouth and meowed, looking as majestic as a mountain king.
Just as Ranran was looking around, a foul wind suddenly arose. The disciples of Chimen had poured in like a tide, surrounding the entire forest so tightly that no one could get in or out.
It seems they want to catch the turtle in a jar and then bleed it out by closing the door!
Wei Yan's voice also echoed in the sky above the forest: "Brother Yishui, you are really good at hiding! You entered the forest and didn't come out. Are you going to be a turtle?"
It seems that Wei Yan already knew that Su Yishui suffered serious internal injuries and damaged his cultivation, and now he wants to kill him and break his soul oath!
Thinking of the report from the spies he had planted in the three major sects, saying that after he left, Su Yishui actually admitted in front of everyone that he was seriously damaged and didn't dare to attack him at all, Wei Yan felt so angry that his teeth were itching.
In the past, he was defeated repeatedly by Su Yishui, so he couldn't help feeling jealous and resentful. He never thought that Su Yishui was now a paper tiger.
Thinking that he had tricked me into swearing an oath with my soul and going down the mountain with just a few words, I would never be able to get over the hatred if I didn't cut Su Yishui into pieces!
After receiving the report from the spy, Wei Yan immediately turned back and planned to ambush the mob in Xishan halfway.
