Chapter 593 Shelter
After he finished speaking, the wind fell silent, and the people in Tongzhou hiding in the dark surprisingly held their breath.
How to say it.
He clearly said that Tongzhou had nothing to do with Penglai, but he still took action to buy time for the people of Tongzhou. What a duplicitous person, and what a legitimate descendant of Penglai.
Ruan Wei didn't look back.
She didn't want to see those people standing under the city waiting to watch the excitement, but she simply thought of some insignificant people, people who had nothing to do with her or Penglai.
The hawkers hawking their wares in the streets, the children chasing each other in the market, the old man squinting under the banyan tree to bask in the sun, the farmers working from sunrise to sunset, and the sound of reading aloud in the courtyard of the high gate.
Ben is an insignificant person.
But strangely, Ruan Wei didn't want these people to disappear too early.
The battle between the demons was too sudden, and the spirits were never prepared. They needed time to better resettle the common people who were unable to resist their fate.
Whether to rescue or release, these questions seemed to have their answers set from the very beginning.
Having been brought up by his teachers, Ruan Wei will not abandon the people.
Ruan Wei stared at Yu Qunqing and asked again: "How?"
Yu Qunqing pondered for a long time.
The elves lack time, and so do the demons.
Yu Qunqing simply assessed the current strength of the Demon Clan and Tongzhou. The answer was obvious. The Demon Clan had been superior to the Spirit Clan for too long, and the gap between them could no longer be made up in just a few decades.
It’s just a mere sixty years.
Furthermore, Yu Qunqing launched the war too suddenly this time, and the means he used to capture the other two Demon Kings were rather brutal. He had not had time to completely incorporate the conquered territories, and the other Demon King was also quite scheming. This was an internal trouble that had to be eliminated.
The various sects of the spirit race are not harmonious, so how can the demon race win over the people?
The curse on Fu He didn't necessarily have to wait sixty years for Ruan Wei to remove it. Yu Qunqing didn't believe that the vast Demon Realm couldn't find someone who could remove it. Just give it enough time and slowly remove it. After that, who cares about the agreement? Just do it.
The spirits outside are nothing to be afraid of, but the civil war among the demons may cause damage to one's foundation.
Multiple factors and chips were put on the table for judgment.
This isn't a difficult choice.
Yu Qunqing had already made up his mind: "Okay."
He looked at Ruan Wei, and the coldness in his eyes could not be concealed.
"You swear."
Yu Qunqing would not believe Ruan Wei's sincere assurance, but he would believe that a gifted person like Ruan Wei would never joke about his future.
The inner demon swears that a single careless mistake is enough to hinder a lifetime of practice.
Although there would be no guarantee if they retreated at this time, but... Yu Qunqing glanced at Chi Jin who was leaning against the side with his eyes closed to rest, and no one noticed.
Ruan Wei can't get any benefits in front of him.
"good."
Ruan Wei did not ask for any more. When facing a madman, one can try to communicate when possible, but one cannot push the person to the critical point. Everyone understands the principle that greed is insatiable.
Feng Wuya frowned and tried to stop him: "Weiwei, the inner demon oath is still too..."
Ruan Wei had never mentioned this to him, and it didn't seem to be part of their plan. Feng Wuya was not very reassured about Ruan Wei's self-abuse behavior, as he had a history of this kind.
Ruan Wei waved his hand, "Master, I know what's going on."
Feng Wuya was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
Ruan Wei had no other options. What else could he do? What else could Tongzhou do?
If it weren't for this drama of seizing the bride in exchange for hostages, how could the spirit race have had these sixty years in front of the demon race whose strength was several times greater than theirs, and in front of Yu Qunqing, who was considered the number one cultivator.
A suitable sacrifice is inevitable, and it would be even better if the sacrifice is not made by one's own apprentice.
Ruan Wei swore an oath to his inner demon on the spot.
Spiritual energy was like a thread, entwined in Ruan Wei's heart. Countless causal energies that could not be perceived by people in this world also began to slowly condense. The cause and effect took shape bit by bit, and finally, the oath was formed.
Ruan Wei closed her eyes and frowned. She silently felt the heat in her chest surging and slowly calming down.
Ruan Wei let out a long sigh, opened his eyes again and looked at Yu Qunqing, saying in a cold voice: "The oath has been made. I hope you can also keep your promise. During the Jiazi period, you are not allowed to lead your army to invade our Elven territory."
Yu Qunqing raised his eyebrows slightly and agreed: "Okay."
Yu Qunqing picked up the unconscious Fu He and said to the demons who were still kneeling on the ground, "Pass my order to withdraw."
"yes!"
The scattered demons agreed in unison and turned around and ran away. Their fear of Yu Qunqing seemed to be engraved in their bones.
Ruan Wei also turned around, walked quickly to Chi Jin's side, leaned over and asked, "How is it? Can you walk? Do you need to be carried?"
Chi Jin wanted to say that she could walk, but when the words came to her lips, she unconsciously changed her tone and said, "Um... I'm sorry, senior sister, it seems that I can't walk anymore. Hiss - it hurts a little."
The eavesdroppers: "..."
It hurts, so what's wrong with you?
Cen Linxi watched silently, and let out a light click of the tongue. He finally understood why his naive son could not defeat the other family's adopted junior brother.
Green tea, too green tea.
How could Fu Yi's thing, which was straight enough to be used as a ruler, possibly beat someone like Chi Jin who was willing to humble herself and act coquettishly!
But it is obvious that Chi Jin is much more favored than Fu Yi, and he is indeed something.
Cen Linxi watched and learned, and was always ready to put his knowledge into practice.
Ruan Wei heard this and saw the blood-stained skin all over Chi Jin's body. She couldn't say anything more than she was about to teach him a lesson. She frowned and whispered, "I'll hold you."
Chi Jin: “Okay.”
The person who was able to hold on and fight with Yu Qunqing seemed to become weak in an instant, quite like Lu Zhishen who uprooted the willow tree and turned into Lin Daiyu.
Cen Linxi and others touched their arms and found goose bumps all over the floor.
Good show, good show.
Ruan Wei bent down, stretched out her hand to smooth the hair on the boy's cheek that was messed up by the wind, and carefully tied the hair together properly, then reached through the boy's knees and picked him up.
Chi Jin leaned against her very gently, with his arms around her shoulders. The eldest brother curled up in Ruan Wei's arms, looking very... like a little wife.
He could certainly force himself to walk, but if he could have his senior sister hold him, of course he would let her hold him! Only a fool wouldn't hold her, right?!
Thinking of this, Chi Jin couldn't help but lower his head a little, rubbed it again, and called "Senior Sister" in a very low voice. The hair wrapped around Ruan Wei's thin neck was naughty and prickly. The hot air he exhaled sprayed on the side of his neck, and his presence was really hard to ignore.
Ruan Wei's heart couldn't help but soften when she noticed Chi Jin's actions.
I really felt wronged.
Ruan Wei's murderous intent towards Yu Qunqing grew even stronger.
Damn Yu Qunqing, I will kill you sooner or later!!
Feng Wuya: “…”
I need help. What should I do if the fifth child in the family is too good at trying to curry favor with the second child? Although we are a couple, we haven't held the ceremony to become a couple yet. Isn't the progress a bit too fast? I'm waiting online very urgently.
Feng Wuya frowned and held out his hand, "Weiwei, let me do it."
Ruan Wei slightly moved aside and shook his head to refuse: "I'll do it."
Chao Jian saw that the current situation didn't seem to require them to show up. He sent a message to the people squatting around him, their legs numb, "The plan is going very smoothly. The wind is blowing! Retreat!"
Everyone: “…”
Not only did he squat there for nothing, but he also had to eat a mouthful of dog food, tsk tsk.
Just then.
"Chi Jin."
Yu Qunqing suddenly called out to Chi Jin. He even smiled, and his laughter passed through the whistling wind and fell into everyone's ears. He smiled at Chi Jin like a gentle father and said, "Can you really go back to Penglai?"
Chi Jin's already trembling steps immediately stopped.
He turned around and met Yu Qunqing's dim eyes, and just pulled the corner of his mouth lightly.
Chi Jin said, "It's none of your business."
The sound was very soft, so soft that only Ruan Wei, who was holding him, could hear it.
Yu Qunqing didn't hear it, but it didn't stop him from continuing. He curved his lips provocatively at Chi Jin, who had turned around, with a smile full of malice.
Ruan Wei's eyelids twitched, and she immediately turned around, thinking to herself that something was wrong.
Yu Qunqing put away his smile and suddenly raised his voice, sending his demonic energy into the sound waves. Then, this sentence spread throughout the smoke-filled battlefield:
"ah."
"As a reputable and upright sect, would the Penglai Immortal Sect harbor a half-demon?"
