At this time, Lu Yiyi was following the middle-aged man with her head down. Her words and actions were extremely cautious, and it was obvious that she was extremely afraid of the middle-aged man.
The two men walked into a wilderness, and right in front of them was a one-story farmhouse made of red bricks. The blood-red door looked a bit weird, and the copper door bolt was engraved with a ferocious scorpion, which made people shudder.
In the courtyard, emerald green ivy covered the surrounding walls densely. In the center, an old woman with white hair and beard sat on a recliner to enjoy the cool air.
It was originally a beautiful and harmonious farmland scenery, but the old woman's feet were crawling with densely packed poisonous scorpions of various colors, which made people feel chilly at the sight of them.
"Master, I'm back." Lu Yiyi was already accustomed to the horrifying scene before her, and greeted him obediently.
The old woman with white hair and beard slowly opened her eyes when she heard the voice, and the stiff muscles on her face twitched, revealing a smile that she thought was amiable.
"Yiyi, now that you've said goodbye to your good friends, get ready to hit the road."
Her voice was very hoarse, as eerie and terrifying as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. In addition, there were hundreds of densely packed poisonous scorpions lurking under her feet. If an ordinary person saw such a scene, his scalp would definitely tingle.
"Well, I've packed my things." Lu Yiyi was not afraid of the poisonous scorpion under her feet at all, and walked obediently to the old woman.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Scorpion girl, if your good disciple dares to flirt with other men again, I guarantee that the Young Sect Master will not let her off easily."
The old woman didn't care at all. She laughed out loud and said, "My disciple is so beautiful, it's inevitable that there are boys around her."
Then she suddenly said fiercely, "Wu Bai! You better understand your position. You are just a bodyguard sent by the Young Sect Master to protect Yi Yi. When did it become your turn to give orders?"
After he finished speaking, hundreds of poisonous scorpions on the ground suddenly raised their tails and made a creepy sound.
Wu Bai snorted coldly. He didn't want to argue with this moody old woman, so he turned to Lu Yiyi and said sternly:
"You'd better think clearly. You are the woman chosen by the Young Sect Master. Any man who has physical contact with you will be made to feel a life worse than death!"
His gaze was like that of a wolf in the mountains, faintly emitting a green light, and the aura on his body became murderous due to his brutality.
"I...I understand." Lu Yiyi lowered her head, trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, and answered helplessly.
She has heard similar words since she was a child. Her master, parents and even clan members have been warning her all the time that her life belongs to the young master.
"But... I've never even seen him in my life. Why should I be his, like a heartless toy?" She felt extremely unwilling.
The brainwashing she had received since childhood had already made her convinced, but since she started college in Yandu, she realized that love is free and she has the right to pursue the person she likes.
The girl's throbbing heart began to take root and sprout when she looked at the young and beautiful love of other couples in the university.
But she has been trapped in shackles, and no matter how progressive her thoughts are, she can never break free from the constraints in reality.
"Everything is determined by fate, and we have no control over it." Lu Yiyi thought sadly, her heart already filled with devastation.
The Scorpion Girl beside him actually echoed, "Yiyi, the Young Sect Master is a martial arts master. Rumor has it that he was not at all inferior to the Sword Saint a year ago. He will definitely stand at the top of the Dragon Nation pyramid in the future. I heard that he is also related to the big sects in the Northern Spirit Realm.
When you marry her, you will be second only to one man and above ten thousand people. Then your Lu family will no longer have to hide in a small place like Pingshui County, and you can even wash away the blood feud of the past in one fell swoop."
"Okay, Master, I understand." Lu Yiyi agreed without changing her expression, but tears of blood flowed in her heart.
Even her master, who had always loved her the most, said so. She was completely powerless to resist this predetermined fate.
Moreover, it was rumored that the young master could control ghosts and could use his magical powers to kill people from a distance of thousands of miles...
Even the Dragon Kingdom officials are unable to govern such a terrifying existence. If she just leaves, the family will definitely bear the wrath of the young master for her.
Thinking of this, the bud of freedom in love that had originally sprouted in Lu Yiyi's heart was completely cut off by her own hands. She could only sigh in her heart and be a vase obediently.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard, followed by a creepy and sinister laugh.
"Hehehe, that damned Young Sect Master is probably in grave danger now!"
"Who is it? Come out!" Wu Hui immediately became alert, quickly took out the long sword from his waist and took a defensive posture.
The hundreds of poisonous scorpions under the scorpion woman's feet also took strange fighting postures, making rustling sounds.
"Wu Bai, Scorpion Girl, it's been a few years since we last met, right?"
I saw a pair of big hands slowly push the door open, and the visitor walked into the yard proudly with his hands behind his back.
The man was wearing a spotless white robe, with a talisman on his fingertips. He looked to be in his thirties or forties.
"Master Fan?" The Scorpion Woman suddenly felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. She angrily asked, "Why are you, Fan Yanghua, running to the Central Plains instead of staying peacefully in the Northern Territory?"
"Hehe." Fan Yanghua smiled indifferently, his face full of arrogance, and he was too lazy to even answer the Scorpion girl's question.
After he glanced around the courtyard, his eyes finally fell on Lu Yiyi who was standing in the corner.
"Tsk tsk, a girl as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water is ruined like this. I heard that you have a congenital Xuanyin physique, which can be said to be a top-grade cauldron that is unique in the world!" Sect Master Fan was amazed.
"Bullshit! Our Yiyi was married to the young master in a formal ceremony. When did she become a cauldron? Don't confuse right and wrong in front of my disciple." The Scorpion Girl's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted loudly.
"Your disciple...tsk tsk, she's really the most vicious woman, she's willing to sacrifice even her own disciple." Sect Master Fan looked at Lu Yiyi with a look of pity and asked:
"Girl, do you know why you were chosen by the Young Sect Master shortly after you were born?"
"No...I don't know." Although she knew that the other party had bad intentions, Lu Yiyi couldn't help but ask.
In fact, she had thought about this question for a long time. The young master could not predict what she would look like when she grew up, so why did he choose her when she was still in her infancy?
"How dare you! How can you guess what the Young Sect Master is thinking!" The Scorpion Girl was suddenly horrified, fearing that Sect Master Fan would continue to speak.
Sect Leader Fan had no fear at all and laughed out loud, "Hehehe, that's naturally because of your innate Xuanyin constitution. Is there anyone in this world who can be better than you in a dual cultivation furnace?
For this, that guy would even wait for you for twenty years!"
