Chapter 19: Flower of Darkness
Xiao Bai and Mu Yun hurried back to the mountain.
The sword fell in Dan Pavilion.
The disciples on the bluestone square saw that the two men, who were fighting each other to the death three days ago, were now riding swords together, and they couldn't help but admire Xiao Bai's skills in flirting with girls.
Not only did he flirt with the elders, he also didn't let go of the elders' disciples...
brute!
The disciples were angry but dared not speak out.
The male disciples' heads were tilted with envy.
However, the female disciples' curiosity about Xiao Bai skyrocketed.
After the sword fell, Mu Yun felt a little numb in his ankle.
Although she enjoyed the feeling of being a queen superior to her master, she always felt that she was at a disadvantage.
"This matter needs to be reported to the Discipline Hall. I will go find my second senior brother first and will not go up the mountain with you. You can go find some comfort from the master yourself."
What does it mean to go to the elders for some comfort?
He is in good spirits, why would he need comfort? Well, he needs some comfort.
Xiao Bai understood what he meant.
"See you later."
Seeing Xiao Bai's figure disappear into the sky, Mu Yun's arrogant eyes gradually cooled.
His figure flashed and headed straight towards the northwest.
…
Return to the top of the mountain.
Xiao Bai went to the Bamboo Forest Hot Spring, washed off the sweat and blood stains, then returned to the bamboo house study, opened the bookcase, and went straight to the alchemy room along the fragrant path.
The alchemy room was not defended.
The elder did not drink tea, meditate, or watch over the pills in the furnace as usual in front of the alchemy furnace.
Instead, he dissected a snake on a stone platform...
A dark red poisonous snake as thick as a wrist!
The snake's eyes were like a woman's charming eyes, its scales were soft and covered with mucus, and its delicate tail was entangled with them.
So disgusting…
I'll take another look.
For some reason, Xiao Ran felt like his hormones were surging.
It was a snake! What was even more outrageous was that the red snake, which was being disemboweled by a dagger, showed a joyful expression.
It's so weird.
Hearing the footsteps, Yu Hu, who was dissecting a red snake, picked up the blood-red peach petal tea on the table and said without looking back:
"I thought it was the spinal worm that came back."
“…”
Xiao Bai described the whole story in detail, exaggerating how dangerous the situation was and how badly he was beaten.
If you think about it carefully, the battle process is extremely dangerous, and the spinal insects will soon return.
And all the dangers he encountered seemed to be within the elder's expectations.
"Elder, do you have an important identity? That's why so many people are watching you. So some bad guys want to get rid of me and place a pawn around you."
Yu Hu then slowly turned around and wiped the blood off his face with his jade-white hands.
After wiping the blood, my hands are still white.
The picturesque face was as cold as ever, only a hint of spring water could be seen in the eyes.
"So, you're not a pawn?"
What about the trust between husband and wife?
Even if we have no feelings for each other, we are old comrades who have been together for many days. Don’t you have a little trust in us?
"Look at what you said. At most, I am a chessboard that can be trampled on by anyone. Of course, the chess players are limited to fairies."
Yu Hu smiled sweetly, took a sip of tea, and said:
"So... Mu Yun also bullied you?"
Another fatal question! Xiao Bai said without hesitation: "No, my senior sister and I treat each other with respect, there is no such possibility!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xiao Bai knew he was in trouble.
"Wait, I'm not talking about being respectful to others... I mean... Elder, listen to me..."
Red mist appeared in the cold tea at some point.
Yu Hu pointed at Xiao Bai's hand and said:
"Your hands smell like bamboo."
"puff--"
Xiao Bai had no way to defend himself, and he couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Yuhu's eyes flickered and his tone suddenly became gentle, pointing at the cup surrounded by red mist.
"You must be very tired. Have a cup of tea."
Xiao Bai vaguely heard a voice: Da Lang...
"Wife, you misunderstood. Senior Sister flew the sword too fast and I had no place to catch it—"
"Tea."
…
Xueyan Sect, northwest mountains.
In a bamboo forest where snow and wind were blowing, two middle-aged men in disciple uniforms were walking slowly.
A cultivation base in the late stage of foundation building.
A cultivation level at the peak of foundation building.
In the Tianyuan era, it was extremely difficult for cultivators to form elixirs, so foundation-building cultivation was the backbone of the cultivation world and one could be a middle-level instructor in any sect.
But these two men were still wearing disciple uniforms, and were not flying swords, but trudging through the forest.
Judging from the way they walked, they seemed too fierce and not graceful enough, and did not look like disciples of a sect.
The two of them walked while talking in low voices, trying their best to conceal their breath and lower their volume.
"How could you fail even if you were asked to kill a mortal?"
"Although this boy is only practicing fetal breathing, his swordsmanship is perfect, and his physique is also extraordinary. He is very likely to be the experimental subject of Master Yu Hu."
"Is it a demon... or a devil?"
"At present, it still looks like a human being."
“Since he is a human, Zhao Hanwu’s failure is understandable. Even you can’t kill him next to him?”
"There is a third person protecting him in secret. This person is stronger than me and his whereabouts are extremely secretive. If it weren't for my poor tracking skills, I might not be able to come back."
"It seems like you and I have to act together... We can't go back and report until this matter is completed."
As soon as the words fell!
A piercing female voice lingered from above the bamboo dome, and its direction was difficult to discern.
"Then don't go back."
"who!"
The two men drew their swords cautiously.
A black vine suddenly drilled into the bodies of the two people from the soles of their feet.
The dantian was entangled by vines, and the two men lost the strength to resist in an instant, and their swords fell to the ground.
"Don't be impulsive, fellow Taoist!"
"We are just errand boys. Leave us alone and I will tell you who is behind this!"
In a trance, a pair of slender legs wrapped in black stockings flashed through the forest, leaving behind a graceful breeze.
"Who cares?"
"Help--"
The two opened their mouths to speak, but their throats were choked and they could no longer utter a word.
A flower of darkness blooms in the mouth.
"I just want the Xueyan Sect to be reduced to ashes."
