Chapter 18: Unexpected Path
Xiao Bai didn't hear the sound of breaking windows, didn't see any hidden arrows, and didn't feel the spiritual pressure of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
All I saw was a large green vine climbing up from the soles of my feet to my lower abdomen.
There was a black sleeve arrow entangled in the middle of the dense vines...
Xiao Bai pulled away the vines and took out the hidden arrow.
He didn't understand hidden weapons, but he felt that the sleeve arrow faintly exuded a spiritual pressure far beyond the Qi Refining Realm! And the vines that suddenly climbed up his body seemed to be a wood-based spell.
"Senior sister?"
After some reasoning, Xiao Bai vaguely guessed the ins and outs of the matter -
After Zhao Hanwu failed, he was attacked by a master who had ambushed him in advance and did not want to reveal his identity.
Senior Sister Mu Yun released vines to block it...
This means that Mu Yun is nearby.
Thinking of this, he slapped his thigh.
"Senior sister, you are so confused!"
Mu Yun chased after the bamboo forest outside the window and quickly returned to the healing cave. Seeing Xiao Bai covered in blood, he said:
"Are you okay?"
Xiao Bai was covered in blood, but it wasn't his own blood. He had already swallowed it into his stomach.
"Sister, you shouldn't have saved me first. I can't die with the elder's elixir protecting me. You should have caught the murderer first."
According to the previously established plan, Mu Yun did indeed plan to do so.
But when Xiao Bai was attacked, she suddenly changed her mind.
"Things are a little more complicated than I thought. Master loves you dearly. If you are really hurt, I won't be able to explain to her."
Faced with Xiao Bai's questioning, the girl in the smoking shirt just evaded the question.
Xiao Bai felt somewhat disappointed as his best friend died tragically and the murderer was not caught.
"Can you tell anything about this arrow?"
Mu Yun took the sleeve arrow and looked at it for a moment.
"This sleeve arrow is also a magic weapon that can be used to ward off the exposure of the user's spiritual power. I must either have a very high level of cultivation or be familiar with the sect's geographical formations. Otherwise, you will not be able to escape from my hands."
Xiao Bai vaguely understood what his senior sister meant.
"You mean..."
Mu Yun said: "A close friend took over your body, the steward came to your rescue, and he killed you without anyone noticing... There was no need for such a complicated act, which means the other party might be someone from within the sect."
Xiao Bai shook his head and sighed.
He also understood that the Xueyan Sect was located in the heart of the enemy's territory, and that undercurrents were surging within the sect, so it was normal to see swords and sabers.
But Senior Brother Li died because of him, and he himself had a close call with death.
This feeling is not pleasant.
"I thought it was the Lord Supervisor."
Xiao Bai tried to remain calm and said.
Mu Yun was shocked. He didn't expect Xiao Bai also knew about this.
"It's hard to say. Even I want to kill you. There are too many people who want to kill you."
Xiao Bai:
“…”
In fact, Xiao Bai's combat performance far exceeded Mu Yun's expectations.
Just now, she wanted to help several times, but Xiao Bai miraculously killed her each time.
If it hadn't been for a sneak attack at the last minute, her trip today would have been in vain.
After carefully looking Xiao Bai up and down, Mu Yun still couldn't figure out the source of Xiao Bai's extraordinary talent.
But he pretended to be calm and said, "You are quite calm. You can even kill a Qi-refining cultivator alone."
Calm your ass!
The sect is too dangerous. I want to go back to Chaoge. The road in Chaoge is not slippery and I can make money and start a family.
Xiao Bai's face was filled with sorrow.
"I think this goes beyond the scope of murder for passion. Elder Yu Hu's identity may not be simple."
Mu Yun rolled his eyes at Xiao Bai and spoke as if your identity is simple.
Fox demons are very simple, what's wrong with your physique?
None of the three tribes of humans, demons, and monsters have ever seen someone like you.
"It's too late now. Just accept your fate."
"well."
Xiao Bai pretended to sigh, changed into a spare butler's uniform, and walked out of the recuperation cave with Mu Yun.
Seeing that the girl in the smoke-stained shirt was his direct disciple Mu Yun, the servants who were watching not far away came to the cave entrance.
"Uncle Xiao...what happened in there?"
"You need to change the deacon."
Xiao Bai knew that his explanation was useless and he was too lazy to say anything more.
Mu Yun had no choice but to explain: "Zhao Hanwu and two servants attempted to assassinate Junior Brother Xiao but failed. They have been punished."
The errand disciples were shocked.
After a long while, someone asked, "What about Senior Brother Li? I think I heard Deacon Zhao talking about the possession of a body just now..."
Mu Yun was a little impatient and said casually, "Li Feiyu died two days ago. I need my second senior brother to come and verify the details."
…
Without explaining too much, the two of them quickly stepped on their swords and left the servants' room in the snow.
In the air.
The wind gradually died down and the snow became softer.
Xiao Bai's magic sword with talismans is only at the Qi Refining level, and the speed of controlling the sword is too slow.
For safety reasons, Mu Yun had to carry him on his sword.
She flew the sword so fast that Xiao Bai could hardly stand still, so he had to hold her petite shoulders with one hand.
Due to the huge height difference, Xiao Bai had to stretch out his hand to hold Mu Yun's shoulder.
Not only Xiao Bai was tired, but Mu Yun also felt that he was being looked down upon.
"Can't you just help me?"
Xiao Bai said helplessly: "There is no way, Senior Sister's speed... the speed of flying the sword is too fast."
Mu Yun's eyes twitched slightly, and she shouted loudly: "Don't touch my shoulders!"
Xiao Bai understood what she meant, and he reached out his hands to silently support her slender waist.
“It feels much more stable now…”
Xiao Bai is safe.
But Mu Yun's sword began to shake.
Her face was red. Although she was being supported on the waist, she felt that every bone in her body was weak. How could she concentrate on flying the sword?
"You are not allowed to hold your waist either!"
Xiao Bai was in a dilemma and asked weakly:
"You are so small, how can I help you?"
Mu Yun's face turned red and dark with anger, and his tone suddenly became majestic and cold: "Kneel down and hold my feet!"
Xiao Bai shook his head helplessly.
I thought that sooner or later, I would make this witch kneel down and sing Little Duck.
At this moment, he did not kneel, but sat down cross-legged, holding his senior sister's slender and smooth ankles with both hands.
After sitting down, Xiao Bai's center of gravity was extremely stable, and he felt calm and relaxed.
And I have to say, the feel of this bamboo film white silk is really amazing.
What is lost in one place may be gained in another.
An unimagined path...
“…”
Mu Yun had a complicated expression.
Just as Xiao Bai said, what happened just now was indeed not a simple murder of passion. Someone has realized the importance of the jade pot.
She vaguely felt that what happened today might very well become the fuse for a series of major events to follow.
The good days of Xueyan Sect are coming to an end.
