Chapter 7
Two figures, one big and one small, disappeared into the casual faction. Bai Yu held the cub in her arms and corrected him after they walked away: "Qiao Qiao, we are going to look for medicine, not mother."
"There is mother."
Ming Qiao put his little face close to Bai Yu and said softly, "Mother is in the forest."
"Well, which one is your mother?"
"Why did you show me the letter... I don't know what's written on it. Is that a word?"
"Okay, let's look for it when we get there."
The voices of two people, one big and one small, talking slowly dissipated in the wind.
Baiyu's chest is strong and broad. Mingqiao started yawning after being hugged by him for a while.
"Brother, Qiao Qiao wants to sleep."
"Go to sleep."
Bai Yu patted Ming Qiao's back gently. During these days when You Qing was away, he, Mo Fan and Huang Qiao all slept with the little guy.
He knows how to get the little one to sleep.
"Qiao Qiao, close your eyes. I will tell you the story of the little pig building a house."
"good."
As Baiyu told the story in a low voice, Mingqiao's little head leaned in Baiyu's arms and gradually fell asleep.
After he fell asleep, Baiyu wrapped him in his cloak and sped up again.
In the Suiyi faction, the eldest brother Huang Qiao is a sword cultivator and a weapon cultivator, the third brother Mo Fan is a talisman cultivator, the fourth sister who is away from home is an elixir cultivator, and Bai Yu himself is a magic cultivator, best at formations.
Their sect has never participated in any competitions, and they don't have a clear idea of their own level on a daily basis.
The only thing they are confident about is that they are all good at running away.
Bai Yu ran for three and a half days and finally escaped from his remote small sect to a small town outside the Xisha Forest.
People come and go in the small town, most of them are practitioners.
There are magical beasts, magical medicines, and some ancient relics in the Xisha Forest. As long as you are capable enough or lucky enough, you can reap great rewards by coming here.
Of course, some people will gain something, but some may be unlucky and lose their lives here.
After all, the beasts in the Xisha Forest or some mechanisms can take people's lives.
"Brother, face to face."
The kid sitting on Bai Yu's arm didn't bother to look at the various people. He pointed at the noodle stall with his chubby finger and his saliva was about to flow out.
The steaming noodles with a spoonful of gravy on top look delicious.
Bai Yu wiped the stool with a towel and then put the baby on it.
"Boss, two bowls of noodles! One with extra meat."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
The boss was a quick man and soon brought over two bowls of steaming noodles.
Bai Yu stirred the noodles with meat, blew on it slightly, and placed it in front of Ming Qiao.
"Eat, eat more."
"Um!"
Ming Qiao worked hard to finish a big bowl of noodles in half a day, and there was still more than half left.
This bowl is too big for Mingqiao to finish.
Bai Yu knew how much he ate, so when she saw that he couldn't eat any more, she naturally touched his belly.
The belly is round.
After touching his stomach, Bai Yu brought the remaining noodles over and ate them in big mouthfuls.
"Hey, man, why did you bring your son to a place like this?"
The red-clothed swordsman sitting opposite Bai Yu kept looking at them: "Your son is so handsome, it's too dangerous for him to come here."
"Danger?"
"Yeah, are you new here?"
Realizing that the red-robed swordsman had some hidden meaning in his words, Bai Yu handed him two candies and asked, "I am indeed new here. Is there anything wrong here?"
Two candies in cute packaging are Ming Qiao’s snacks.
In addition to candies, Huang Qiao also made milk cakes, shortbreads, and small steamed buns of various flavors.
Bai Yu handed the candy over. The red-clothed swordsman stared at the candy for a few seconds, then reached out to take it.
The candy is sweet.
The red-robed swordsman bit the piece and swallowed it, then said to Bai Yu, "You must take good care of your son."
"Several children were lost in the city. Some of these children were brought out by their parents to see the world, and some were brought out by the sects to seek opportunities."
"They are all missing, and the soul lamps are extinguished."
Bai Yu: “…”
Bai Yu's face turned grim when he heard this, and he lifted the kid who was sitting obediently on the bench next to him and sat him on his lap.
He hugged his cub tightly and asked, "Is it only the child who is missing? What about the adults? And these parents and the sect, haven't they found out anything?"
Baiyu asked a lot of questions.
For the sake of the two candies, the red-clothed swordsman patiently answered, "Only the child is missing, no adult is missing. Look at those people, they are looking for clues. And the portraits on the wall are all portraits of missing children."
Ming Qiao heard the conversation between Bai Yu and the red-clothed swordsman.
He looked in the direction pointed by the red-robed swordsman, and sure enough, he saw a row of portraits.
These portraits made Mingqiao very nervous.
He grabbed Bai Yu's clothes with his chubby hands, looked up and asked, "Brother, will Qiao Qiao get lost?"
"Jojo won't lose it."
Bai Yu lowered his head and touched Ming Qiao's forehead soothingly. He whispered, "Senior Brother will protect Qiao Qiao."
"Um!"
Ming Qiao rubbed Bai Yu with his little face in trust.
The two of them rubbed their faces intimately, and the red-robed swordsman looked at them with envy: "So this is your little junior brother, your little junior brother looks so small."
"He is not very old."
Bai Yu held her baby in her arms and prepared to find an inn and book a room.
The random people are few, they grow their own food and vegetables, and rarely have extra expenses. They have no expenses, and they also have little income.
This time Bai Yu came out and took out all the money they had randomly distributed.
Although the money was not much, Bai Yu still chose the best room.
The city is not safe, and the better inns are at least safer.
Spend most of the money on booking a room, and spend the rest of the money sparingly.
Bai Yu said goodbye to the red-robed swordsman, then checked into the inn with his baby in his arms.
The rooms in the inn were in short supply and Bai Yu almost failed to book one. It was a woman in green who passed by and saw that he was holding a child and gave him a room.
The woman had a good appearance, but she looked haggard, and her voice was hoarse, as if she had been crying bitterly.
"You and the child stay here today, but you should go back tomorrow."
The woman persuaded Bai Yu in a hoarse voice, her eyes fell on Ming Qiao's well-behaved and pretty little face, and her eyes suddenly turned red again.
"The elders who are taking care of the children, as well as the sect, have taken the children away. This place is very dangerous for children."
Bai Yu knew from the way she spoke that she was also a person who had lost her child.
He tightened his big hands around the cub and said in a deep voice, "I will leave here as soon as possible."
The woman nodded, then strode away.
Bai Yu looked at her figure and found that she was walking together with several other people on the stairs and they were talking about something.
"Jojo, look."
Bai Yu pointed to a few people in white at the stairs. They were dressed the same, with the same jade belts and jade pendants around their waists.
"These people are from the Lintian Sect, which is the number one immortal sect. They slay demons and monsters, and they are very chivalrous."
"They are probably taking over the matter of the missing child this time."
Bai Yu's guess was correct. Several people from the Lintian Sect not far away were talking to the blue-clothed cultivator in front of them about the progress of the child's disappearance.
"Brother, Qiao Qiao goes down."
Ming Qiao recognized Lin Tianzong's attire. He kicked his short legs and asked Bai Yu to put him down.
"What are you going down there for?"
Although Bai Yu was puzzled, he let the cub go.
As soon as he put the cub on the ground, he saw the cub, who could barely stand, turned around and ran away.
Bai Yu: “?”
Bai Yu was stunned: "Qiao Qiao, where are you going?!"
Ming Qiao didn't run far. He ran in front of the disciples of Lintian Sect with his short legs.
"uncle."
Ming Qiao ran over, looking up at the few people with his pretty face, and asked softly, "Excuse me, is Immortal Lord Qing Heng here?"
Several people from Lintian Sect: "..."
Several people were collectively stunned. They knew that their own Immortal Lord Qingheng had many admirers, and there were countless people who wanted to meet him.
But the one in front of him who wanted to see the Immortal King was too small.
"Little one, what do you want to do with Immortal Lord Qing Heng?"
There was a person who loved children, who squatted down and asked Ming Qiao in a good-tempered manner.
Ming Qiao saw the other person squatting down and curled his eyes at him.
He was a little shy, but he still mustered up the courage to ask, "Have you ever seen Immortal Lord Qing Heng?"
The other party nodded: "I had the honor of meeting you before you went into seclusion."
Mingqiao's heart started pounding when she knew that the other party had seen Qingheng.
Daddy said that his eyes and mouth are like mom's.
The opportunity to verify is right in front of you.
Ming Qiao's chubby hands were clasping his clothes. His curled eyelashes were trembling slightly, and his childish voice was shaking.
"Uncle, do you think I look like the son of Immortal Lord Qing Heng?"
"What?"
The Lintian Sect disciple who was squatting there exclaimed in surprise.
He was so frightened by the little guy's question that he almost fell down on his butt!
The other Lintian Sect disciples standing behind him also had frightened expressions on their faces.
They looked at this kid who was talking nonsense in shock, and for a moment they didn't know how to organize their words.
If someone else had involved Immortal Lord Qingheng and the child together, they would have rolled up their sleeves and taken action!
Everyone in the Cang Xuan Realm knows that Immortal Lord Qing Heng has a cold personality and doesn't get close to others. Even his own brothers, he doesn't pay much attention to them.
The most aloof and unattainable immortal king in the entire Cang Xuan Realm will never have love, and will never have children with anyone!
"Little one, you are very beautiful..."
Yang Jian forced himself to calm down. He rubbed the little kid's head and prepared to have a good talk with him.
But as he was speaking, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually felt that this little kid's eyes were somewhat like their Immortal King's.
"cough."
Yang Jian cleared his throat, convinced that this was an illusion. He said, "But no matter how beautiful you are, it has nothing to do with our Qingheng Immortal Lord."
"Immortal Lord Qing Heng has no Taoist partner, let alone children."
Ming Qiao grabbed her clothes and didn't tell Yang Jian that she might be Qingheng's future baby.
He lowered his head and continued to ask: "Can you let me see Immortal Lord Qing Heng?"
"The Immortal Lord is not here."
"I can go find him."
"The Immortal Monarch is in seclusion."
After a few questions and answers, Ming Qiao could tell that the other party just didn't want to take him to see Immortal Lord Qing Heng.
His little head drooped lower and lower, and he looked a little at a loss.
Bai Yu, who had followed along a long time ago and listened to their conversation, saw this scene and picked up the frustrated child.
"Qiao Qiao, are you done talking? Brother has ordered some hot water so I can give you a bath, okay?"
Mingqiao likes taking a bath the most.
But this time, he put his little hands around Bai Yu's neck, and there was no happiness on his face.
Bai Yu felt distressed when seeing this.
"Be good, after you take a bath, I will buy you a little tiger mask."
Bai Yu coaxed the baby while carrying him away. He didn't even say hello to Lin Tianzong.
After the two figures, one big and one small, completely disappeared, Yang Jian couldn't help but turned his head and looked at his fellow apprentices.
"Do you think that little guy does look a bit like Immortal Lord Qing Heng?"
"I don't think so. Senior Brother Yang, please stop talking nonsense and tarnishing the reputation of the Immortal Lord."
There was a brainless fan of Qing Heng Xian Jun present. The other party had a cold face and didn't think that Qing Heng Xian Jun would have a child who was stranded outside!
"I have met the Immortal Lord, and I really think... Never mind, I won't say more."
Yang Jian didn't want to fall out with his junior fellow apprentice, so he dropped the subject and turned the attention back to the missing child.
"Capturing children seems like the style of a demon cultivator."
"Thirty years ago, there was an incident where a demon cultivator murdered a child."
The group talked about business, and the disciples of Lintian Sect expressed their opinions.
They will hurry up to find the murderer and the child. Before the murderer is found, they will take turns patrolling at night.
Soon, darkness enveloped the entire city.
Ming Qiao finished his bath and was wrapped in a big towel and laid on the bed. His little face was still sullen and unhappy.
Baiyu heard him talk about looking for his mother, but Baiyu also felt that Qingheng could not be his mother.
"Qiao Qiao, how about I take you to see Lu Heng?"
"good."
Unable to meet Qingheng, Mingqiao wants to meet Luheng.
Bai Yu saw that he agreed, kissed his little face, and coaxed him: "Tomorrow morning, Senior Brother will take you to find Lu Heng. It's night now, it's dangerous outside, let's go to sleep obediently."
"Um!"
Mingqiao nodded obediently and asked Baiyu to change his pajamas.
The candles in the room went out.
The two, one big and one small, changed into pajamas and fell asleep in bed.
Around the second half of the night, Mingqiao's little ears caught a strange sound, like knocking on the door, or like someone calling him.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up dazedly.
The author has something to say:
Qiao Qiao: Who called me cub?
