The wind and snow blocked the way home.
Shen Wei was panting heavily, and the cold wind and snow made him shiver.
But at the same temperature, he couldn't understand why the young man in front of him, dressed in thin white clothes, didn't feel cold at all!
—As expected, he's not a normal person!
Chang Shu, who was shivering from the cold, looked at the two who were still staring at each other and finally couldn't help but say, "Hey you two, you can start fighting now, can I go back and put on some clothes first?"
"No!" they both said in unison.
Shen Wei raised an eyebrow at the white-robed youth before him, took a breath, and said, "I am a disciple of the Heavenly Venerable. You fiend dare to wreak havoc on the mortal realm. Today, I, Shen Wei, will act on behalf of Heaven to subdue you!"
Seeing his legs trembling from the cold, Gu Liyan couldn't help but sneer, "You're so fierce. You drugged me and made me dizzy, trying to make me expose my true form in public. I've endured this until now to avoid causing panic among you! And you come here and say I'm a menace to the world? That's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"
Gu Liyan originally planned to take revenge on Shen Wei, but when she used the Soul Painting Eye to look at Shen Wei's life essence, she found that this brother was actually a kind-hearted guy. She immediately gave up the idea of revenge and spoke up to persuade him.
"You think I'd believe your lies? But if you release the people who went missing on the mountain a few days ago, I'll let you run for three seconds!" Shen Wei said with a righteous expression when he saw Gu Liyan trying to escape.
"Missing?" Gu Liyan frowned, his face grave. "I only passed through here today, and those missing people were not my doing."
Shen Wei immediately retorted, "Impossible! Besides you, who else here has the ability to conceal demonic energy! If your demonic markings hadn't been exposed, I wouldn't have suspected you were a member of the demon race!"
Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow. There's no such thing as using tattoos to determine whether someone is a demon!
In short, explanations were useless, so all I could do was say, "Well then, I also need to cross this snow mountain, so I'll help you look for those missing people while I'm at it. I'll let you know when I have any news! I have other things to do, so I won't stay any longer!"
He turned and prepared to leave.
"No!" Shen Wei hurriedly chased after him, blocking Gu Liyan's path. "You can't leave! Master said that the longer a demon has cultivated, the more adept it is at deceiving people! Looking at your hypocritical appearance, you must have been cultivating for at least a hundred years!"
Gu Liyan rolled her eyes. "Can I tell you I've been cultivating for a thousand years and I'm still alive?!"
Gripping Shen Wei's constant harassment, Gu Liyan retorted, "You're saying this won't work and that won't work? Do you think I, Gu Liyan, am easy to bully?! Or are you, a mere mortal, thinking you can defeat me just because you have a bit of cultivation? If you bother me any longer, I'll unleash my ultimate move!" Gu Liyan sneered.
Shen Wei was startled. Feeling the aura emanating from Gu Liyan, he immediately lowered his head and said with a wronged expression, "I, I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to say that I can also help you save people."
"Uh..." Gu Liyan's lips twitched involuntarily. This kid really has guts! And a pretty strong sense of justice at that! But...
When Gu Liyan raised his head and looked at the mountaintop with his Painting Soul Eye, the surrounding demonic aura, which concealed a chilling and unsettling atmosphere, made him feel a little helpless.
Gu Liyan frowned. "You'd better not go. Just wait for me here."
Shen Wei noticed something in Gu Liyan's eyes: "Is that monster very strong? You can't handle it alone? It's okay, I can call my fellow disciples for help?"
"No need, I can go by myself!" Gu Liyan waved his hand. He didn't want to deal with those stubborn old cultivators and fight to the death, which would only end badly for them!
Without giving Shen Wei a reply, he flashed away and was already a hundred meters away!
Watching Gu Liyan's departing figure, Shen Wei said with a righteous expression, "No! I can't let him risk his life alone. Chang Shu, go back and give my master a message: if I unfortunately perish here, you must avenge me!"
Chang Shu was stunned by the cold, but upon hearing Shen Wei's words, he hurriedly nodded, "Understood, Master Shen!"
"Okay, then I'm going up the mountain!" Shen Wei walked towards the summit with a serious expression.
Chang Shu shrank his neck and muttered as he walked down the mountain, "Master Shen is still chasing that white-clothed monster to his death. I need to hurry back and get reinforcements to deal with that white-clothed monster!"
If Shen Wei could explain who he was seeking revenge against, Chang Shu wouldn't have misunderstood.
at the same time--
It is said that when Su Hu, the Marquis of Jizhou, took his family out to investigate the local conditions, they encountered heavy snow blocking the mountain and stayed at the Danggui Inn.
"Master Su, it just snowed, so I'm bringing you an extra blanket," Xiao Linzi said, knocking on the door.
creak—
The door opened, but it wasn't Su Hu who opened it; instead, a girl who looked about eight or nine years old blinked her big, watery eyes at Xiao Linzi.
"Young man, who are you?" Su Xian'er asked in confusion.
"Ah, you must be Miss Su! This is an extra blanket for Master Su." Looking at the beautiful and lovely Su Xian'er, Xiao Linzi was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the blanket in his arms and spoke.
"Father is asleep, give it to me!"
With her little hand outstretched, Xiao Linzi was a little nervous. This was the first time he had ever met such a beautiful little girl. If she grew up, she would definitely be a stunning beauty!
Su Xian'er dismissed Xiao Linzi, placed the blanket aside, and chuckled, "That silly Daddy actually got me drunk! Now no one will stop me from climbing the snow mountain!"
On the table lay the bottle of drugged wine that Gu Liyan had just drunk from. Having inadvertently seen the remaining wine when she went downstairs, Su Xian'er secretly took it back, dropped the tea from her teacup into the flowerpot, and replaced it with the remaining wine.
