Chapter 180 The Demon Cult Witch 9
Axi said sharply: "I heard you say that, did you know me before?"
"Yes."
The night was getting darker and darker, Yao Rong asked Axi to go into the cave to rest.
Axi still had many questions to ask, but Yao Rong comforted her with just one sentence: "Some things may not be a good thing to know now. Anyway, there is a long time to come, and you will know what you should know sooner or later."
Lying on the mattress prepared by Yao Rong, Axi thought it would be difficult for her to fall asleep, but she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes, and did not open her eyes again until the next morning.
After eating something with Yao Rong, Axi hurried to the clinic.
As a result, as soon as she stepped into the clinic, Axi saw Doctor Xie with a sullen face.
"Axi, why are you late today?"
Axi only told half the truth: "Master, I have been feeling a little uncomfortable these past two days and I overslept this morning." Doctor
Xie's brows were still furrowed.
This morning, Mu Wenxuan suddenly found him and asked him to transfer Axi to work in the herb garden for a few days.
Although he didn't know what Mu Wenxuan was going to do, Mu Wenxuan was the son of the head of the sect and it was rare for him to ask him to do something, so Doctor Xie was naturally happy to cooperate.
So Doctor Xie took the opportunity of Axi being late and punished Axi to take care of the herb garden.
Axi didn't know what Doctor Xie was thinking, but she found it hard to accept.
Senior Sister Xie and Junior Brother Fu had been late countless times, and the master had let them go lightly. She was only late this once, but the master took her away.
It was not the first time that I knew that the master was partial, but this time the master was too partial.
Doctor Xie originally felt a little sorry for this second disciple, but when he saw the stubbornness on his second disciple's face, he immediately became angry.
"You don't accept it?"
Ah Xi pursed her lips, neither saying "accept" nor "disobey".
"Why don't you say anything?"
"Disciple dare not disobey."
Doctor Xie was so angry that he left: "Originally, the master only punished you to take care of the medicine garden for ten days. Since you dare not disobey, then I will punish you to take care of the medicine garden for one month to temper your temper."
When Man Banxue came to the clinic to find Ah Xi again, she heard about this.
She ran to the medicine garden to find Ah Xi, but the back mountain where the medicine garden was located did not allow disciples from other sects to enter.
Man Banxue was stopped by someone, and she stamped her feet in anger and ran back to find her master.
The head of Zhaotian Sect said helplessly: "It's useless to complain to me about this matter."
After Man Banxue left, the head of Zhaotian Sect put down the wine glass in his hand: "Who is Axi to you?"
Yao Rong came to the head of Zhaotian Sect from the dark like a ghost, straightened a wine glass upside down on the table, picked up the wine pot and poured himself a glass of wine: "You should be able to guess it."
"I heard that she lost her memory, and I heard that she entered Xuyang Sect six years ago, so I guessed it." The head of Zhaotian Sect sneered, "Xuyang Sect's layout is really far-reaching, and even a little girl is not spared."
"The Xuyang Sect claims to be the first sect of the righteous path, but the methods it uses are always looked down upon."
The head of the Zhaotian Sect agreed: "If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. The founder of the sect likes to play these conspiracies and tricks, and the successor also likes to play these conspiracies and tricks."
Yao Rong drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put down the glass and was about to leave.
The head of the Zhaotian Sect called Yao Rong: "Did you hear what my apprentice said just now?"
"I heard it."
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, you have helped me a lot."
"That's fine, your daughter staying in the medicine garden can just avoid the chaos of the sword-fighting conference."
The head of the Zhaotian Sect did not think that Yao Rong came to the Xuyang Sect just for her daughter. Now that we are here, it would not be Yao Rong's style if he did not ruin the sword fighting competition.
***
Dozens of sects, big and small, gathered in Xuyang Sect.
If Xuyang Sect was not rich and had not built many courtyards, it would not be able to accommodate so many guests.
As the day of the sword fighting competition approached, the Xuyang Sect became more and more lively, and more and more people came to spar and fight every day.
Doctor Xie, Senior Sister Xie and Junior Brother Fu were all very busy.
When Axi was here, Doctor Xie did not like this disciple very much. After Axi was gone, Doctor Xie realized how capable this disciple was.
Doctor Xie even hesitated whether to transfer Axi back from the medicine garden in advance.
For this reason, Doctor Xie went to see Mu Wenxuan on purpose.
Mu Wenxuan has been very tired these past few days.
He is the best among the young generation of the Xuyang Sect, and many people challenge him. In order to maintain his image, no matter what happens, he has to suppress his nature and show a graceful appearance.
It was okay to pretend for a day or two, but after pretending for a long time, Mu Wenxuan's temper became more and more violent, and he was full of anger.
After hearing the purpose of Doctor Xie's visit, Mu Wenxuan's eyes lit up.
Yes, how could he forget about A Xi in the medicine garden.
Tomorrow is the sword-fighting conference, and it's just right. He can go to find A Xi tonight, on the one hand, to complete the task assigned by his father, and on the other hand, to vent his anger.
"My business is not done yet, so let Axi continue to stay in the medicine garden."
Doctor Xie had a headache: "But the clinic has been a little busy recently."
He is such a face-conscious person, if he was not really busy, would he slap himself in the face and transfer Axi back to the clinic in advance?
Mu Wenxuan frowned: "Axi is just an ordinary female doctor. Can your clinic not operate without her?"
Doctor Xie was speechless.
This... this... how should he answer this!
Can he say that the other two disciples combined are not as capable as Axi alone! He
couldn't say it, so he could only pinch his nose and go back to the clinic in shame.
After sending Doctor Xie away, Mu Wenxuan walked back to the backyard and waved to the servant who had served him for many years: "Did you find the medicine I asked you to find?"
The servant laughed and said, "Don't worry, young master. The medicine has been placed at your bedside. It is the strongest medicine in the brothel."
"Good boy, after the matter is done, I will definitely benefit from you."
Mu Wenxuan asked the servant to go to the kitchen and bring a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
There was a lot of powdered sugar sprinkled on the surface of the cake. The colorless and tasteless medicine powder sprinkled on the cake looked no different from powdered sugar. Even if A Xi was a doctor, Mu Wenxuan believed that she would not recognize her.
Mu Wenxuan also prepared a pot of strong liquor and put a golden hairpin he made into his sleeve, intending to attribute everything to "drunk and disorderly sex" later.
If A Xi woke up and wanted to die, he would take out the golden hairpin and give it to A Xi, promising that he would definitely take responsibility for A Xi, and then give her some sweet words, so that she would not worry about not being devoted to her.
As for women, once they fall in love, they will become blind. If he tells her to go east, she will definitely not dare to go west.
After arranging everything, Mu Wenxuan first poured himself a pot of wine, then poured some wine on the hem of his clothes, smelled the smell of alcohol on himself, and nodded with satisfaction.
Ah Xi has been staying in the herb garden these days, busy from morning to night, and has no time or energy to go to the cave to find Yao Rong.
However, compared to listening to Doctor Xie and others chattering in the clinic, Ah Xi prefers to stay in the herb garden and tend to the herbs, so her mood has been relatively stable these days, and she has enough time to re-examine many things.
As evening approached, Axi put down the medicine hoe, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was about to leave the medicine garden when he saw Mu Wenxuan from a distance.
"Senior Brother Mu, why are you here?"
Mu Wenxuan put on a painful look: "Axi, can you accompany me to talk?"
Axi declined: "But the sun is about to set."
Mu Wenxuan seemed not to hear Axi's words and sat on a small bench to drink.
Ah Xi smelled the strong smell of alcohol on him: "Senior Brother Mu, you are drunk, you should go back quickly."
"Ah Xi, I knew that you are the only one who cares about me the most in the whole sect." Mu Wenxuan smiled foolishly, "I am not drunk, I also brought you your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Every time you ignored me in the past, as long as I gave you a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, you would not be angry with me again. Come, try it and see if it still tastes the same as you remember."
Ah Xi glanced at the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
In fact, she has never liked sticky cakes.
But Mu Wenxuan is her best friend in the sect, and she is worried that if she is angry for too long, Mu Wenxuan will ignore her, so when Mu Wenxuan brought a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and showed his submission, she followed the step given by Mu Wenxuan and went down.
Thinking about it now, her relationship with Mu Wenxuan is also ridiculous.
"It's been six years, Senior Brother Mu, and you don't even know what I like to eat."
Mu Wenxuan's expression almost collapsed: "You... you don't like sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"
"No." Ah Xi turned around and wanted to leave, not wanting to get too involved with a drunk person, "Senior Brother, I've been busy in the herb garden all day, I'm going back to rest. Whatever you want to do, please do it."
"Ah Xi, don't go, are you angry with me? What do you want to forgive me!"
"Senior Brother Mu, let me go!"
...
Yao Rong was staying in the cellar where the Xuyang Sect stored wine.
She searched for several days before she found this place.
Before, when Yao Rong planned to eliminate the right protector, he asked the right protector's people to collect a lot of poisons. Later, the right protector was captured, but these poisons were retained.
Yao Rong selected some of the poisons that were not fatal but could temporarily make people unable to use their internal energy and brought them over.
She was about to mix these powdered medicines into the wine jar when a shrill alarm suddenly rang in her mind.
[The system detected that Su Yingxi was being entangled by Mu Wenxuan. Considering the environment and the difference in strength between the two, it is believed that the possibility of Su Yingxi being in danger is very high.]
[Host, please judge for yourself whether to go and check.]
Yao Rong's face was as gloomy as water, and he paused his actions: "Is Ah Xi still in the medicine garden now?"
After getting a positive answer from the system, Yao Rong took two steps at a time and walked out of the cellar, avoiding the patrolling crowd, and flew towards the medicine garden.
...
Axi was entangled with Mu Wenxuan, and Mu Wenxuan kept playing the emotional card, saying that as long as Axi accompanied him to finish the wine and eat the cakes, he would let go of Axi's hand.
In order to get away, Axi had no choice but to agree.
She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and slowly moved it close to her lips.
Mu Wenxuan still had a frustrated look on his face, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
Finally it was done, and it was worth his pretending to be stupid and drunk.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side and stopped Axi's movement.
Mu Wenxuan's face sank.
Who dared to meddle in his business and ruin his good thing.
Looking up along the hand, Mu Wenxuan saw a very unfamiliar face.
Mu Wenxuan asked, "Which sect are you from? Don't you know that this is the back mountain of the Xuyang Sect? People from other sects can come and go freely?"
Yao Rong said nothing and directly pressed several acupuncture points on Mu Wenxuan.
Mu Wenxuan was fixed in place without even making a move to dodge, and his internal energy completely stopped.
He looked at the newcomer with a look of shock on his face.
Yao Rong smiled at A Xi, took the piece of osmanthus cake from A Xi's hand, and stuffed it into Mu Wenxuan's mouth.
Mu Wenxuan tried his best to spit it out, but he couldn't resist Yao Rong, so he could only watch himself swallow the cake.
"This..." A Xi looked at Yao Rong, then at Mu Wenxuan.
Yao Rong took out a handkerchief from her bosom and slowly wiped her fingers one by one: "Wait a moment, you will know the effect of this cake."
Ah Xi's heart sank.
She had been pestered by Mu Wenxuan before, and she did not have extra time to think, but now that Yao Rong stopped her, Ah Xi realized that Mu Wenxuan had just been too persistent.
He seemed to insist that she eat the osmanthus cake before he would stop.
Could it be that Mu Wenxuan really did something with the osmanthus cake?
Ah Xi did not say anything, and stood there with a pale face.
The one with a face paler than hers was Mu Wenxuan.
The medicine the servant found for him was of the best quality. Not long after he swallowed the pastries, Mu Wenxuan felt a fire burning in his lower abdomen.
Then, the fire burned more and more vigorously, and he lost all his reason.
Yao Rong glanced at Mu Wenxuan's condition and knew what he had done to the pastries.
Not wanting Ah Xi to see such a dirty scene, Yao Rong turned around and wanted to pull Ah Xi aside.
Ah Xi held Yao Rong's arm and stared at Mu Wenxuan's flushed face: "Senior, I am a doctor and have seen everything. Let me see, I want to watch everything carefully."
"Okay."
Yao Rong thought about it and agreed.
After a while, Yao Rong felt that it was almost done, and suggested softly: "Both your hands and mine are stained with osmanthus cake powder, so let's find some clean water and wash them thoroughly."
Ah Xi regained her senses a little, knowing that this matter was very urgent, and took Yao Rong to a stream not far away.
Ah Xi squatted by the stream, rubbing her hands vigorously again and again.
As she rubbed, Ah Xi's eyes became red.
Yao Rong didn't say anything, but reached out and hugged Ah Xi.
The thin body in her arms was trembling slightly, revealing a sense of fragility and helplessness after being frightened.
"Ah Xi, don't be afraid, you are safe now."
Ah Xi held back her tears: "Senior, I don't understand why he wanted to scheme against me like this..."
It was too scary.
She did see through Mu Wenxuan, but she could never imagine that he would do such a beastly thing to her.
She grew up with him and was nominally his junior sister.
Was everything in these six years just false and fake, with no real moment?
Yao Rong slowly stroked A Xi's hair: "I think he did this to better control you."
"Control me... just because I said I was going down the mountain..."
A Xi actually didn't want to shed tears because of this beast, but she was really wronged in her heart.
"Just because of this reason, do you want to destroy my innocence..."
Yao Rong felt a large area of her shoulder wet.
Her mood sank to the bottom with A Xi's low sobs.
"I should have thought of it. The medicine garden is very remote, and it would be easy to do something."
If she had thought of it earlier, Ah Xi wouldn't have to face all this.
She hoped that Ah Xi could see the true colors of these people and follow her down the mountain, but she never thought of using such a method that might hurt Ah Xi.
Ah Xi stopped sobbing after hearing what Yao Rong said.
She suddenly thought of something.
The medicine garden was a punishment from her master.
Being late was just a small matter, but the master took it up high. She found it very strange at the time. Now she thought about it, was it because Mu Wenxuan had said something to the master.
In this matter, is the master an insider? Is the master also involved?
Perhaps because the truth was too embarrassing, Axi calmed down strangely: "Don't blame me, senior. Who could have thought that such a thing would happen in the sect."
Yao Rong asked: "Do you want to deal with that beast and let him get his retribution?"
"Yes!"
Yao Rong liked Axi's decisiveness, but he had to explain the consequences in advance: "Although the beast's actions were malicious, he has a special identity. Once you deal with him, it will be difficult for you to stay in the Xuyang Sect."
Axi closed his eyes and showed a trace of a grim smile: "Then I will take this opportunity to betray my master. This way, I can go out with peace of mind and pursue the life I want."
Yao Rong let go of Axi and pulled her up from the stream: "Let's go see Mu Wenxuan."
It took only a quarter of an hour from the time Yao Rong and Axi left to the time they came back.
During this quarter of an hour, the pain in Mu Wenxuan's lower abdomen became more and more severe, but he couldn't get relief.
When he saw A Xi coming over, Mu Wenxuan looked at her with eyes full of desire and pleading.
Yao Rong stood in front of A Xi, stepped on Mu Wenxuan's chest with his foot, and looked down at Mu Wenxuan coldly: "You dare to stare at her like this, it seems that you don't want this pair of eyes."
Mu Wenxuan had lost his mind and couldn't hear what Yao Rong was saying.
Yao Rong used a palm in the air to directly destroy Mu Wenxuan's internal strength, and with a long sword, he cut Mu Wenxuan's eyes.
Mu Wenxuan opened his mouth and howled in pain, the corners of his mouth were torn, but he couldn't utter a syllable.
Yao Rong shook off the blood on the tip of the sword, made a sword flower, and put the long sword back into the sheath: "Axi, let's go. I'll take you away from here first."
Axi watched the scene quietly, his heart calm: "Okay."
"Is there anything you want to pack in your room?"
"Nothing valuable, mainly some clothes to change."
"Then don't pack it. Once things here are over, I'll take you down the mountain to buy new ones."
After walking for a while, Axi suddenly asked: "That night, the senior suddenly appeared in the cave. Was it a coincidence?"
"No."
"So, that night, the senior was following me all the time?"
"That night, I sneaked into the Xuyang Sect and happened to hear your master and the others talking. I learned that you were trapped on this mountain, so I used some means to find you."
Ah Xi was stunned. She originally thought that this senior had been following her all the time, so he could appear in front of her when she was most helpless: "...Why did you use a fake identity to approach me?"
"It was already late at night when I found you, and it was in the wilderness. If I didn't say that, how could I convince you? I appeared by your side because I hoped that you wouldn't be frightened, not to increase your suspicion and vigilance."
Ah Xi's heartbeat suddenly intensified, and the corners of her lips trembled as she asked the question she wanted to know most: "What is the relationship between you and me?"
"You just need to remember that I am the person in this world who most wants you to be well. Other people's kindness to you may be conditional, but my love for you is unconditional."
The last rays of the setting sun fell on the horizon, shining on Axi and Yao Rong.
Axi turned around and looked at the medicine garden.
The last rays of the sun faded behind her, and the medicine garden fell into a silent darkness, as if a giant beast that could devour people was emitting a terrifying aura.
Axi kept walking, following closely beside Yao Rong.
She didn't know the true identity of this senior, nor did she know what she would experience after leaving Xuyang Sect, let alone what was waiting for her in the future.
But she left Xuyang Sect with Yao Rong without looking back, heading towards a completely different destiny.
