Chapter 7 Immortal Lord 007%
It was a pale and beautiful hand that killed the original owner Qu Yaoyao.
Qu Yushu's hands were fair and slender. They were indeed very similar to the hands in his dream, but similarity did not necessarily mean the hands were the same. Qu Yushu did not have long, sharp nails. However, this discovery reminded Qu Yaoyao of something.
"Brother." She coughed a few times, her face pale as she asked weakly, "Have you found the murderer who hurt me a few days ago?"
The girl who was struggling and being willful just now suddenly became quiet and silent.
Qu Yushu didn't know why she suddenly brought this up, so he shook his head and said, "We're still investigating, but we still haven't found any clues to the evil spirit."
"Did Yaoyao remember anything?"
Qu Yaoyao raised her face and stared at Qu Yushu seriously.
Although her face was pale, her eyes were bright and round, looking smart and soft. Biting her lip, she replied cautiously, "I don't remember anything."
"But brother, how can you be sure that the person who harmed me is an evil spirit?"
"Maybe... it's a human." It could also be someone from the Immortal Sect.
Qu Yushu was stunned.
Qu Yaoyao was right. The evil spirit appeared too suddenly that night. It ran towards Qu Yaoyao without killing anyone. It came and went without a trace and disappeared too completely. Except for the original owner Qu Yaoyao, no one saw the appearance of the evil spirit.
The sect suspected an evil spirit had killed Qu Yaoyao because she loved to engage in unorthodox activities and was weak and vulnerable to evil. Qingxi Immortal Venerable had previously said that the wound on her neck was caused by a demon, so everyone was convinced that it was an evil spirit that was causing trouble.
But in the final analysis, no one saw with their own eyes that it was the evil spirit that killed Qu Yaoyao. What's more... it's not only demons that can leak evil energy, people who have fallen into the devil's way can do the same.
"Yaoyao is right." After being stunned for a moment, Qu Yushu's handsome face quickly calmed down and he slowly let go of Qu Yaoyao's hand.
He didn't act out of the ordinary, nor did he look panicked or gloomy. He simply stared at Qu Yaoyao and gently confirmed her suspicions. "Tomorrow I'll send people to investigate within the sect and will definitely find the real culprit who harmed you."
Qu Yaoyao nodded and smiled at Qu Yushu, "Thank you, brother."
"What are you thanking me for?" Qu Yushu touched her head, as if coaxing a child, "You are my brother's youngest sister, and protecting you is my brother's duty."
Qu Yaoyao didn't know what to say. She felt in her heart that Qu Yushu was speaking the truth, but after experiencing the incident with the Immortal Qingxi, Qu Yaoyao was traumatized.
"Can I still trust you?" As soon as Qu Yushu left, Qu Yaoyao relaxed and lay back on the couch, muttering to herself.
Qu Yaoyao had been in a state of nightmare for days, but she was not completely unaware. Between sleep and wakefulness, every time she opened her eyes, she saw either Yunzhi or Qu Yushu, as if they were taking turns to take care of her.
"Brother..." Qu Yaoyao whispered the name.
She thought to herself: Qu Yaoyao is Qu Yushu's biological sister. How could he possibly harm her when he treats her so well? If he really wanted to, he would have killed her a hundred times over during the time she was in a coma.
"Are you feeling better, young lady?" Yunzhi came in.
She prepared hot water and came to help Qu Yaoyao take a bath and change clothes. After Qu Yaoyao calmed down, she was still worried about the elixir sent by Qingxi Immortal Venerable. Before taking a bath, she asked Yunzhi to find a doctor for her. She waited until she was confirmed to be healthy before taking a bath.
The bathtub was steaming hot, and Qu Yaoyao lazily lay on the edge of the pool, letting Yunzhi scrub her body.
The elixir sent by Immortal Qingxi was very effective. Yunzhi saw that she had recovered most of her spirits and told her some of the things that happened during her coma. "Miss, you don't know, the Immortal Ruins have been very lively these days."
Yaowang Sect is one of the six sects of Wanmen Xianzong and has the same status as Xingyang Sect.
For many years, Hua Tianhai, the leader of the Medicine King Sect, had been obsessed with studying medicinal herbs. With only a small family, he painstakingly raised a son and placed high hopes on him. But who could have imagined that his son would be gone without a trace?
Yunzhi lamented, "What a twist of fate! A few days ago, the Yaowang Sect's leader often brought his son to the Delusion Ruins, hoping that Immortal Venerable Qingxi would accept his son as a disciple. I heard that Immortal Venerable Qingxi was about to agree."
As the Supreme Master of Ten Thousand Sects, Qingxi Immortal Venerable rarely accepts disciples, and the few he does have are all extremely gifted contemporary prodigies, exceptionally talented. And who is Hua Song?
Relying on the fact that he is the son of the clan leader, he has a perverse personality and is arrogant. He has no special abilities but always likes to stir up trouble. Even his own father cannot control him.
When Yunzhi said this, she suddenly realized that Huasong was a bit like her daughter, so she quickly shut up.
Seeing that Qu Yaoyao was holding her chin and seemed to be listening without any unusual reaction, she spoke again: "I heard that Hua Song died tragically."
His limbs were broken, his body covered in wounds, his heart gone, his soul dissipated into the world. His dozen or so attendants died even more miserably than he did, none of their bodies intact. But before Yunzhi could finish, Qu Yaoyao sat up straight, her voice trembling as she said, "Stop talking."
Yunzhi's description reminded her of the nightmare again, and she knew it much more clearly than Yunzhi.
Yunzhi realized she had spoken out of turn and quickly changed the subject. "Huasong's death has alarmed Immortal Venerables Qingxi and Zicang. Yaowang Sect and Immortal Venerable Qingxi are usually close, so Wangxu is the only one investigating this matter right now. Immortal Venerable Qingxi is very busy."
"The Immortal Venerable was so busy, yet he still remembered to meet with the young lady. After learning that the young lady was ill, he even specially sent the Immortal Lord Tianci to personally deliver medicine. It's clear that he really cares about her."
To be honest, what Yunzhi was saying was what Qu Yaoyao was most reluctant to hear. But now that she knew, there was no reason to avoid it. Qu Yaoyao grasped the key point of Yunzhi's words and asked, "What appointment?"
Yunzhi coughed and said uncomfortably, "Many people saw you that day. You ran out of Qingxi Immortal Venerable's palace crying, thinking that Qingxi Immortal Venerable had bullied you."
That was the story, but the rumor was that Qu Yaoyao's attempt at seduction had failed, and she was instead coldly rebuked by Qingxi Immortal Venerable, leaving her crying and embarrassed. Regardless of the reason, it was a fact that Qu Yaoyao had been provoked to tears by Qingxi Immortal Venerable, and so he wanted to invite her to the Immortal Ruins again as an apology.
The expected joy was not there. After Yunzhi finished speaking, he saw that his daughter's expression was not right, and muttered to himself: "It seems that my illness came at the right time."
"What did the girl say?" Yunzhi didn't hear clearly.
Qu Yaoyao didn't repeat herself, but just grabbed her arm and said, "Don't tell anyone that I'm well again."
"Just say I'm still in a coma and can't see anyone."
Yunzhi was dumbfounded, "Why?"
Qu Yaoyao couldn't say that she felt Qingxi Immortal Venerable had changed his mind and wanted her life again, right? Unable to find a suitable excuse, she could only feign weakness and lean against Yunzhi, saying sickly, "I'm indeed still not feeling well."
"I want to rest for a few more days."
"Then Immortal Qingxi..."
"I'll be gone for now."
Qu Yaoyao said softly and pitifully, "When I recover from my illness, I want to face the Immortal Lord in the best possible manner."
Yunzhi believed it.
“…”
Wangxu, Chengyu Palace.
Xie Qingxun was resting with his eyes closed.
The hall was filled with the delicate fragrance of lotus, mingled with a hint of coolness, not unlike the aroma emanating from the snow lotus in the cold pond. Gu Tianci approached, suppressing his irritation and whispering to him, "Master, Hua Tianhai is here again."
Xie Qingxun lay on the couch with his eyelashes still closed, supporting his forehead with one hand, and said calmly, "Didn't I say I would give him an explanation? What is he doing here again?"
Gu Tianci said: "We have been investigating for so many days and have not found any clues. That old man can't wait any longer."
"So what if I can't wait?"
Gu Tianci opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth, "He said that if the Immortal Venerable is unwilling to help him get revenge, he will go to the Immortal Venerable Zi Cang for help."
There are two Immortal Lords in Xianxu, and these tens of thousands of sects do not all obey Xie Qingxun alone. Immortal Lord Zicang is the only one who can compete with him.
"He actually dared to threaten me." Xie Qingxun smiled softly.
The Wanmen Immortal Sect has six sects, four pavilions and thirteen peaks, among which the six sects are the most powerful. The immortal master who has more sects obeying him will have more say in the sect.
Thinking about his master's current status in the sect, Gu Tianci thought that he would not be afraid of Hua Tianhai's threats. Unexpectedly, he heard his master say lightly: "Tell him that in three days, I will give him an explanation."
Gu Tianci was stunned for a moment, then took the order and left.
As the palace door closed again, Xie Qingxun slowly opened his eyelashes.
His handsome face was pale, his lips blood red. If Gu Tianci were still here, he would have noticed that Xie Qingxun's dark pupils had become lighter, faintly stained with a somewhat bewildering red gold.
He remained in a reclining position with his forehead supported. He slightly moved his free left hand, and a flash of light appeared at his fingertips. The scroll rolled up on the table instantly flew into the air and unfolded.
It's the picture of the girl in white.
The light in the hall was dim, and only the ice silk paper was shining, as if the girl in the painting's dress was swaying, ready to burst out of the paper at any time.
Xie Qingxun stared at the girl in the painting for a long time, the red gold in his eyes deepened, and a dark red mark faintly appeared between his eyebrows, which he quickly suppressed.
"You really know how to cause trouble for me." He murmured, feeling a little regretful that he shouldn't have killed her.
The scroll was quickly put away and placed back on the table. Xie Qingxun closed his eyes again, the face of the girl in the painting still lingering in his mind, who was four points similar to Qu Yaoyao.
Thinking of Qu Yaoyao, Xie Qingxun curled the corners of his lips and called out in a low and cold voice: "Tianci."
"Disciple is here."
Gu Tianci stood quietly outside the hall and heard his master ask leisurely, "What has Qu Yaoyao been doing recently?"
Gu Tianci didn't know why her master asked about her, so she honestly explained, "Her maid said she's still bedridden and can't see anyone."
It just shouldn't be like that.
Gu Tianci responded from the heart: The elixirs he sent were all immortal products, and the people who were almost dying of illness in these days are now getting better. Did Qu Yaoyao not use those medicines or was she pretending to be sick?
There was no sound in the hall.
Xie Qingxun sneered. It seemed that she was really scared that day. But it was also good this way. It would be better if she could always be so well-behaved and easy to control.
After a long while, Gu Tianci heard Xie Qingxun say again: "Send someone to check where Qu Yaoyao was on the night when Hua Song's lamp went out."
Qu Yaoyao?!
Gu Tianci almost thought he had misheard, "Master means..."
Hua Hai's death was related to Qu Yaoyao?! No wonder she was so horrified when she saw Hua Hai's body that day.
At this time, in Xingyang Zongli.
Qu Yaoyao, who was completely unaware of the situation, was sitting in front of the mirror rubbing her cheeks. She always felt that this face was different from when she first saw it, and seemed to be becoming more and more like her original self.
How could this happen? Could it be that her soul has affected this body?
There was a regular knock on the door. Qu Yaoyao glanced at the dark night outside and saw that it had started snowing again.
"Who?" She was a little wary.
Qu Yushu's voice came through the door, "Is Yaoyao asleep?"
Qu Yaoyao was speechless for a moment, wondering why Qu Yushu came to see her so late.
The author has something to say: Question: Why did Xie Qingxun stare at Xiao Xuelian's portrait for so long?
