Chapter 139: Many Doubts about Kunwu from the South
The reason why Lingxiang was so furious was not entirely because of what Maidong said, but also because she felt uncomfortable when she saw Long Qi in the yard. So she took advantage of Maidong's message and pretended to run out in a hurry.
She muttered to herself as she hurried down the hill.
"Long Qi is such a jerk! He actually instigated Xin Yi to plot against her. And Xin Yi, too! I haven't even considered him a friend, but he's quite good at plotting for others."
"This wolf and this hyena are truly a match made in heaven, they are a perfect match!"
As he was muttering, he didn't expect that there was a person running towards him at a high speed. The two of them bumped into each other. Fortunately, the person was agile and grabbed Lingxiang with one hand and a short tree beside him with the other, so that the two of them did not roll down the mountain.
As soon as the two of them stood still, the man who went up the mountain spoke immediately.
"I was in a hurry to go up the mountain to look for someone, and I bumped into the young lady. But I have something important to do now, otherwise I would definitely apologize to the young lady."
Hearing the voice, it turned out to be a woman. Lingxiang looked up and her eyes lit up.
Although the person was a woman, she had a dashing appearance, and there was a song praising her:
The horse's mane is parted like a slanting cloud, and her eyebrows are willow-like, her eyes are beautiful, and her face is like a peach.
She has a high nose, a pretty mouth and sweet words, but her face is full of sorrow.
Lingxiang knew everyone in the sect, but this man was wearing a red robe with some dried blood on it, as if he had just been in a fierce battle. And the clothes he wore looked like Taoist armor used to exorcise demons and monsters. Could this person also be a Taoist?
Lingxiang said it was no problem, and casually took the woman's pulse. After a quick feel of the pulse, she concluded that the woman must have some cultivation experience.
Not to mention how steady and strong her pulse is, the fact that she has climbed all the way to Qingwei Peak without any rapid pulse shows that she knows some martial arts. In addition, she is wearing Taoist armor, so it seems that she must have a lot of cultivation.
Lingxiang let go of the woman without leaving a trace, and said to her with a smile, "I wonder who you are looking for on Qingwei Peak?" She chuckled softly and said, "To be honest, I do know the master of Qingwei Peak. Judging from the way you are dressed, I think you must be here to ask for medicine. Why don't you tell me a little bit first? I may be able to help you."
The woman's face lit up when she heard this: "Are you serious?"
Lingxiang smiled back, "Look, I'm a cultivator too, how could I possibly lie? Besides, we're just casual acquaintances, and I don't even know who you are. What good would it do to lie to you? Of course, I'm not lying."
The girl was overjoyed, but hesitated for a moment before pulling Lingxiang to sit aside and talking.
…
When Maidong heard Lingxiang's words, he hurriedly chased after her, still shouting, "Didn't you drag me in without even asking me to say anything?"
Just when he was about to catch up with Lingxiang, he was pulled again for no reason. When he turned around, he saw that it was Long Qi.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Could something have happened?"
He had just heard Xinyi say Lingxiang was embarrassed, and he was feeling happy, but then Lingxiang suddenly ignored him, not even glancing at him, and walked away. He couldn't help but feel nervous: What on earth is this little girl thinking?
So when he saw Maidong behind him, he didn't care about Xinyi beside him, and hurriedly pulled her aside to ask her.
Mai Dong was originally ordered to invite Ling Xiang, but Ling Xiang left in such a hurry. If she arrived before the head teacher before Mai Dong arrived, wouldn't that be a complete disregard for etiquette? After all, Ling Xiang was her elder.
She tugged at her clothes while looking at Lingxiang walking away outside the courtyard. She said hurriedly, "A group of people came down the mountain. They said they were here to ask for medicine and to exchange ideas. I don't think they are here. They seem to be looking for trouble."
"Looking for trouble? If you came here to ask for medicine, why would you look for trouble?" Xinyi was puzzled and asked while helping Maidong to pull open his clothes.
When Maidong saw Xinyi asking him, his mind immediately shifted away from Lingxiang. He turned around and said, "Hey, they said they came to ask for medicine to save someone, but they also said they wanted to exchange Daoist techniques. Tell me, how could they be so anxious to save someone and still have the mind to exchange Daoist techniques? Everyone knows that saving someone is like putting out a fire; even if you rush in, it's too late. Yet, they still have such thoughts. I think they're here to cause trouble, and asking for medicine is just an excuse."
"You mean the person who came here wants to fight?" Long Qi asked hurriedly after hearing that.
Mai Dong curled his lips. "People coming? They're a group of people, they say they're from the Kunwu Sect. The leader is an old man who looks very fierce and doesn't look like a cultivator at all. Look at the several elders in the sect. Uncle Zhao Ming is the most severe, but he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even his face makes him look like a kind person."
Kunwu Sect? Xinyi couldn't help but frown. He knew about the Kunwu Sect. When Xinyi was working for Bai Wuchang, he had gone to Haoyang City to inquire about the Kunwu Sect in order to find out about the life-extending elixir.
The Kunwu Sect is a major sect in the southern city of Haoyang. Its strength is no less than that of the Yuanqing Sect. Unlike the Yuanqing Sect, whose disciples often descend from the mountains to eliminate demons and monsters for the people, their reputation is excellent. However, I have heard that the Kunwu Sect's leader is a kind person. How could he have such a fierce appearance?
Xinyi was puzzled and asked Maidong: "Did the visitor tell her who he was?"
Mai Dong heard this and scratched his head, thinking for a while: "It seems that someone called Xuantan Taoist Priest is leading a group of disciples in the meeting hall."
Taoist Priest Xuantan? This was odd. Taoist Priest Xuantan was the Kunwu Sect's head elder, so how could he have time to come to Yuanqing in person? Besides, when sects visited each other, it was the headmaster who was there in person. So where was Taoist Priest Xuanhuai?
After talking for a long time, Maidong finally came to his senses. He slapped his head and quickly stood up - he was clearly trying to catch up with Lingxiang. If he let her get to the hall first, he might be scolded by Uncle Zhaoming for being rude!
"No, no, today we are meeting people from the foreign sect, and my master has repeatedly reminded me to follow the rules. Now I was so busy talking to you that I forgot about Lingxiang. If she arrives in the hall and I don't see her for a long time, I will definitely be scolded when I go back!" As she said that, she hurriedly chased out of Xianyunju.
Long Qi and Xin Yi exchanged a glance. He noticed something unusual in Xin Yi's eyes. They nodded to each other and chased after him together.
At this time, Honeysuckle, who was hiding in the kitchen, came out. He had naturally heard everything they had just said, but he had something on his mind and didn't want to think too much about it.
Honeysuckle thought for a moment in front of the door, and finally decided to go back to her room - she thought she didn't need to cook dinner, so she might as well go back and clean up.
Long Qi and Xin Yi were quick to catch up with Mai Dong. They were about to ask her more questions, but she suddenly stopped. Confused, they looked up and saw Ling Xiang sitting alone halfway up the mountain, lost in thought.
Seeing this, Maidong took a deep breath and jumped, then turned around and landed in front of Lingxiang.
"You still have a conscience, considering our sisterhood. You know that if you come and I don't, I will definitely be punished."
But Lingxiang ignored her words and looked up and said to Maidong:
"Maidong, I need your help. This matter involves human life, you must not refuse!"
