With Zhu Xiaozhao's level of cultivation, it would take at least ten minutes to defeat a jumping rabbit. Unfortunately, jumping rabbits are social beasts. If a group of jumping rabbits appeared during the battle, Zhu Xiaozhao would be doomed.
Just as Zhu Xiaozhao was about to turn and run, the bunny's nostrils twitched and it let out a series of urgent "squeaks." Before Zhu Xiaozhao could react, four or five smaller bunnies jumped out of the tree hole behind the bunny, followed the big bunny, and ran away in the opposite direction of Zhu Xiaozhao.
Zhu Xiaozhao was delighted. He hadn't expected that the sachet Sister Xie had given him could actually make monsters avoid him.
Along the way, Zhu Xiaozhao encountered several monsters. Without exception, they all ran away when they smelled the "fragrance" about ten meters away from Zhu Xiaozhao.
Zhu Xiaozhao walked happily for more than ten minutes before he saw a tall flamboyant tree.
The trunk of this flamboyant tree is so wide that it would take four adults to hug it. There are only three such flamboyant trees in the hills behind Xiaoyao Peak, and the characters "Heaven," "Earth," and "Man" are carved into their trunks.
Seeing the large "天" (Sky) on the tree trunk, Zhu Xiaozhao's eyes lit up with a smile. That's right, Senior Sister Xie said yesterday that if we want to find her, we must first find the "天" (Sky) tree.
Zhu Xiaozhao looked up and didn't see Xie Hanmei, so he called out softly, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister Xie."
Zhu Xiaozhao was afraid that there might be other monster-hunting disciples in the forest, so he didn't dare call Xie Hanmei by name. Xie Hanmei was a "traitor" to the Yushan Sect, and even if Zhu Xiaozhao was a traitor, he couldn't let anyone see him ignoring the sect's rules and openly interacting with Xie Hanmei.
After a long time, the forest was silent.
Zhu Xiaozhao did not give up and called out a few more times. This time, his voice was a little louder, but unfortunately, he still did not hear Xie Hanmei's response.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Zhu Xiaozhao's heart. Could it be that the shelter Sister Xie had told him yesterday was a lie? It was no wonder Sister Xie was wary of him, having ventured into a "tiger's den."
Zhu Xiaozhao waited for more than ten minutes but didn't hear any response from Xie Hanmei. Just when he was about to leave, he heard a slight rustling sound from the branches of the flamboyant tree above his head.
After a rustling sound, a woman in blue fell from the sky and appeared in front of Zhu Xiaozhao.
"Senior Sister Xie, I thought you were gone." Zhu Xiaozhao bowed to Xie Hanmei with a hint of joy on his face.
"I had already left, but when I heard you calling me, I came back to check." Xie Hanmei said with a frown.
"Huh?" Zhu Xiaozhao was stunned. Did Sister Xie mean that he was disturbing her? Or was it that he was disturbing her?
"Zhu Xiaozhao, I hope you can pay attention to the help I asked you to do. We don't have much time left. I estimate that the day when the Maoshan ancestor will come to settle accounts with "Liu Jingyun" will be in two days." Xie Hanmei explained patiently.
If time hadn't been so tight, and considering Zhu Xiaozhao's cleverness, Xie Hanmei really wouldn't have wanted to hand this over to anyone else. After all, if one more person knew the unique features of the "Lu Ding Gong Fa," the safety of the female cultivators would be less guaranteed.
"Sister Xie, don't worry about me taking care of things. I have made Li Changqing suspicious of the Sect Leader today. I estimate that Li Changqing and the Sect Leader will definitely fall out soon." Zhu Xiaozhao thought that Xie Hanmei was worried about him, so he quickly and excitedly told her how he had provoked Li Changqing.
"Oh? I didn't expect that you, Zhu Xiaozhao, are so proactive." Xie Hanmei's expression showed a bit more satisfaction.
The plan to sow discord between Li Changqing and "Liu Jingyun" was Xie Hanmei's idea. She wanted to alienate "Liu Jingyu" from his friends and family. However, Xie Hanmei had only proposed an idea, and she hadn't expected Zhu Xiaozhao to ignite it so quickly. All they could do was wait.
"Senior Sister Xie, I came to you to ask, if, I mean if, I want to join the Maoshan Sect, can Senior Sister Xie introduce me?" Zhu Xiaozhao gritted his teeth and finally asked the question he had been thinking about all night last night.
What Zhu Xiaozhao was doing now definitely made him a traitor! If anyone knew about this, Zhu Xiaozhao would definitely not be able to stay in Yushan Sect anymore. Therefore, changing sects became Zhu Xiaozhao's best option.
"Okay." Xie Hanmei replied with two words, then perhaps feeling she was being too cold, she added, "As long as I, Xie Hanmei, live, I will never let down the people who work for me."
"Okay, okay, Xiaozhao would like to thank you, senior sister." Zhu Xiaozhao showed a happy smile on his face.
"Is there anything else?" Xie Hanmei couldn't help but remind Zhu Xiaozhao when she saw him rubbing his hands and spinning in circles.
"That's all, Senior Sister Xie, I'm going to work." Zhu Xiaozhao always knew that Xie Hanmei had a cold personality. Before he met Xie Hanmei, Zhu Xiaozhao had a lot of things to say to her. After meeting Xie Hanmei, Zhu Xiaozhao found that he couldn't say any of those words.
Was he going to ask Xie Hanmei if she was doing well now? Just by looking at her attire, one could tell that Xie Hanmei was doing well. Was he going to ask him to comfort Xie Hanmei and tell her not to be sad? You must be kidding. It wasn't like Xie Hanmei was willing to defect from the Yushan Sect and join the Maoshan Sect. Zhu Xiaozhao thought about it and felt that what he had wanted to say before was just nonsense. It would be better not to say it.
Watching Zhu Xiaozhao's back disappear in the woods, Xie Hanmei stood there for a long time before she let out a leisurely sigh.
Xie Hanmei always felt that she was the culprit behind the current situation of Yushan Sect.
Ever since "Liu Jingyu" became the head of the sect, the Yushan Sect is no longer the Yushan Sect of three years ago.
Others didn't know the true identity of "Liu Jingyu", but Xie Hanmei knew it clearly. In fact, it was Xie Hanmei who helped "deliver" Liu Jingyu's appearance to Ling Xiaotian.
At first, Xie Hanmei thought Ling Xiaotian was just trying to stay alive and find a new body to inhabit. It just so happened that Liu Jingyu, at that time, was following orders from his master, Taoist Ling Yun, to give Xie Hanmei to him as a "cauldron." To protect herself, Xie Hanmei teamed up with Ling Xiaotian to plot against Liu Jingyu.
Only after Ling Xiaotian became Liu Jingyu did he reveal his ferocious face.
Ling Xiaotian was even more vicious than Taoist Ling Yun. Taoist Ling Yun practiced the "Lu Ding Gong Fa" in secret, and never dared to reveal it to the public.
Ling Xiaotian, however, passed this technique on to Yue Zhenshan, the master of Piaomiao Peak, and Li Yuanpei, the master of Qingyun Peak. It looked as if all the high-ranking members of the Yushan Sect were practicing the "Lu Ding Gong Fa" together.
Seeing the headmaster's wife Wu Xiuyun being "sucked" into ashes by Ling Xiaotian, and seeing female cultivators disappearing from the sect from time to time, for a period of time, whenever Xie Hanmei closed her eyes, she would see the angry face of her great-grandfather Daoyan Zhenjun.
