When Hua Shi woke up, he felt some pain on his forehead. He quickly went to the mirror and found that his forehead was slightly red. For some reason, it looked like someone had hit it.
But he only slept for two or three hours, and stayed in the space of Yunxiu Pen. Who would come to bother him?
He looked at his face in the mirror suspiciously, and finally put on a serious face and looked at the cat beside him: "Could it be you?"
Fang Wei glanced at him, then curled up her tail and went to sleep on the quilt.
There was no expression on the cat's face, but for some reason Hua Shi felt that he sensed some strange and awkward emotion from it.
Hua Shi gave up struggling with the system, calculated the time, and found that the effect of Yunxiu Pen Space was almost over. He then stood up and stretched, threw himself on the bed, rubbed the cat, and said contentedly: "I'm going out first!"
Fang Wei couldn't dodge in time and was rubbed by Hua Shi until his fur was messy. He scratched Hua Shi with his front paws as if in protest, staring at the red mark on his head, thinking that the hit he had made before was too light, and he should have hit him harder to teach this guy a lesson.
Unfortunately, Hua Shi had no idea what he was thinking. After rubbing the cat, he rubbed it comfortably and said, "It's really a good idea to turn you into a cat. Sometimes when you are too tired, you can pet the cat to relieve stress."
Fang Wei slapped Hua Shi's face with her claws to express her protest against this statement.
Hua Shi did not leave the space of Yunxiu Pen immediately. Recently, Yu Xing and Zhou Li stayed in Xuanling Pavilion and often came to Hua Shi's residence to find him. Although Hua Shi welcomed them very much and regarded these two as good friends, sometimes he still wanted to stay alone.
He sat on the bed in the room, holding the cat and enjoying the rare quiet time. He thought to himself, "It would be nice if you turned into Liu Qishuang, but I can't help but admit my mistakes. When I see you, I can't help but blurt out what I want to say."
Fang Wei raised his eyes and asked, "What did you say?"
Hua Shi sat up straight, pointed with his fingers and said, "I miss you, I like you, although you may not have seen me... But this is not important, we can get to know each other slowly... You may not believe it, but I, I have liked you for a long time, from the beginning when I saw you in the portrait, to later when I slowly got to know you in the illusion, hey..."
"Stop talking." Fang Wei raised his paw and pressed it against Hua Shi's mouth to stop him from speaking any further. He just felt uncomfortable all over.
No one had ever said anything like that to him.
Hua Shi blinked and said, "I still have a lot to say. I think every day, if Liu Qishuang is really still alive, how should I start talking when I see him so as to give him the best impression."
Fang Wei thought carefully and recalled the scene when she first met Hua Shi. At that time, the eldest young master was sitting lazily on a chair in the room, cracking melon seeds with drooping eyelids, selecting the system like he was selecting a concubine. He was picky and extremely difficult to serve.
This impression is indeed profound.
He shook his head and stopped Hua Shi from continuing, thinking that Hua Shi didn't need to think about it anymore, as he already had a very deep memory of his first impression.
However, Hua Shi didn't know the truth, and he still lowered his head and thought: "Although this intuition is a bit strange, I really have a strange feeling that Liu Qishuang should still be alive. He survived a disaster like the Frost Forest Valley. He will definitely not get into trouble easily. Maybe he is just injured and is hiding somewhere to heal his wounds. Maybe he has some difficulties and is waiting for someone to save him."
Fang Wei couldn't help but be stunned by Hua Shi's last words. He looked closely into Hua Shi's eyes, making sure that he was just guessing and didn't really know anything. Then he whispered, "You should practice well and don't think so much."
Hua Shi raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, I know you think I'm talking nonsense."
They didn't chat for too long. The space time of Yunxiu Pen expired and it automatically sent Hua Shi out. However, in the blink of an eye, Hua Shi returned to his room.
The next few days were still not much different from usual, but what surprised Hua Shi was that on the ninth day that Yu Xing and Zhou Li were staying in Xuanling Pavilion, they were preparing to set off to return to their respective sects, and in addition to them, Hua Shi was also counted among the entourage.
Standing in the room of Lingge, seeing the elders around him, Hua Shi was quite puzzled. He quietly came to Xuan Shuzhi's side and asked in a low voice: "Master, why should I follow him out?"
He was staying well in Xuanling Pavilion, so naturally he didn't want to leave. Moreover, it sounded like this matter had nothing to do with the affairs of Shuanglin Valley and Liu Qishuang. He even hoped to stay in the sect and practice well.
Xuan Shuzhi saw through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is no danger this time, and there are people to protect you, there will definitely be no accidents. I just want you to go to Hanxi Sect to meet someone, and come back after meeting."
Hua Shi was even more confused: "Someone is protecting me? Who?"
Xuan Shuzhi raised his head and looked towards the corner.
Hua Shi followed his gaze and saw Jiang Tingwan sitting there with a confused look on his face, listening to what people were saying. He didn't seem to understand what they were saying, so he kept shaking his head, trying to use body language to get them to speak slower.
Unfortunately, no one noticed his movements.
Hua Shi blinked, turned around and asked, "Where is the person who is protecting me?"
Xuan Shuzhi still stared at Jiang Tingwan: "Isn't it right there?"
Hua Shi was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted: "Master, you asked Senior Jiang to accompany me to Hanxi Sect?!"
Xuan Shuzhi smiled and corrected him, "To be precise, you should accompany Jiang Tingwan to Hanxi Sect. After all, I don't feel comfortable if he goes alone. He is only obedient to you now. If you take him on the road, he will definitely be obedient and not run around."
Hua Shi: “…”
Only at this moment did he finally understand that his trip to Hanxi Sect was actually just a side trip, but he became confused again: "But why did you let Senior Jiang go to Hanxi Sect?"
Xuan Shuzhi said: "Because I want you to take him to see someone."
Hua Shi asked curiously, "Who is that person? Is he very important to Senior Jiang?"
Xuan Shuzhi pondered and said, "Of course it is important, but I can't say to what extent. Anyway, you take someone to take a look. Jiang Tingwan has been with us for such a long time and there is no sign of recovery. You take him to Hanxi Sect to meet that person. They have a common language, and maybe that person will have a way to make Jiang Tingwan recover."
"Common language?" Hua Shi felt something was wrong. Jiang Tingwan looked like this, and no one could figure out what he was thinking about every day. Could there really be someone who could understand what he said? What extraordinary ability did that person have?
He couldn't figure these things out, but he was not too worried for the time being. After all, he was going out with everyone this time. Even the leader of Hanxi Sect and Zhou Li would go with him. Even if they encountered any danger on the way, it would not be his turn to worry about it. Someone would come forward to solve it. The only thing he had to worry about was probably how to coax Jiang Tingwan not to make too much trouble.
After saying this, Hua Shi turned around and looked at the rest of the people. They had almost finished their discussion.
Ji Yan, Ji Yuan and others were also preparing to return to their respective sects. Only the increasingly shameless Poxue Zhaizhu decided to stay in Xuanling Pavilion, as if he was determined to rely on Xuan Shuzhi.
That afternoon, Hua Shi took Jiang Tingwan and followed the leader of Hanxi Sect and Zhou Li to Hanxi Sect.
Compared with the Xuanling Pavilion, where Hua Shi's disciples have a messy combination of various schools' skills, the Hanxi Sect can be regarded as the kind of orthodox cultivation sect that Hua Shi knew from various works in his previous life. The disciples of the Hanxi Sect use swords, and they naturally fly on the swords when they are in a hurry. So on the way back to the Hanxi Sect, the Hanxi Sect Master took Jiang Tingwan, and Zhou Li took Hua Shi, and it didn't take too much time to fly all the way.
In just half a day, they had landed on the sword training platform of Hanxi Sect.
Just as Fang Wei had said to Hua Shi before, Hanxi Sect was called this name not because there was really a stream called Hanxi in their sect, but because the place where their sect was located was called Hanxi City. Hanxi Sect was also completely different from what Hua Shi had imagined. This was not a river valley with green mountains and clear waters, but a group of towering snow-white buildings.
Hua Shi was amazed by the connected houses and the flying swords that kept flying in the sky. The disciples of Hanxi Sect were flying on their swords, and their hurried figures coming and going could be seen almost all over the sky above the sword training platform.
Compared with the scale of Hanxi Sect, Xuanling Pavilion where Hua Shi is located can probably only be regarded as a small and beautiful girl.
"It's worthy of being the strongest sect in the spiritual path." Hua Shi looked at the disciples flying in the sky with swords and couldn't help but admire them in his heart.
Fang Wei replied: "Indeed."
A thousand years ago, Hanxi Sect was already prosperous, and now Hanxi Sect is more popular than before. But what he cares about most now is the purpose of Xuan Shuzhi asking Hua Shi to bring Jiang Tingwan here.
Xuan Shuzhi mentioned a person in the conversation with Hua Shi, but he did not say the person's name. Ever since he knew that Hua Shi was related to Fang Wei, Xuan Shuzhi always pretended to casually reveal a lot of information to Hua Shi. Rather than telling Hua Shi about it, in fact, much of it was told to Fang Wei.
And he asked Hua Shi to bring Jiang Tingwan to look for someone, perhaps to create an opportunity for him to meet that person. According to Fang Wei's guess, this person was most likely someone he was familiar with, but he didn't know who he was and why he stayed in Hanxi Sect.
Fang Wei was guessing silently, but Hua Shi couldn't wait to complete the task. He stood still and took a clear look at the surroundings. Then he asked the leader of Hanxi Sect: "Senior, where is the person that Master asked me to find now? Can I take Senior Jiang to see him now?"
The leader of Hanxi Sect probably knew Hua Shi's character from Xuan Shuzhi a long time ago, so he was not surprised at this time. He nodded and said, "Of course, I will let Li'er take you there."
As he was saying this, several disciples of Hanxi Sect came up to him. They also saw Hua Shi and Jiang Tingwan standing next to the Sect Master of Hanxi Sect. After greeting them with a little confusion, they reported to the Sect Master about the recent situation in the sect.
The leader of Hanxi Sect had some matters to deal with, so he couldn't stay here for long. He explained the matter to Zhou Li and left with his disciples.
Zhou Li helplessly watched his master's leaving back, and then said to Hua Shi: "Come with me."
Hua Shi nodded, turned around and grabbed Jiang Tingwan, who was about to run out with the leader of Hanxi Sect in a daze, and then walked into the interior of Hanxi Sect.
They walked for a long time, passing through many buildings that Hua Shi couldn't name, as well as corridors and courtyards, and finally approached the back mountain of Hanxi Sect.
Hua Shi was amazed at the size of the Hanxi Sect, but he couldn't help but feel puzzled as he walked, "Where are we going? Where is the senior I want to see?"
Zhou Li led the way calmly and said, "We'll be there soon. The dungeon is in front."
"Then..." Hua Shi was about to respond, but when he heard Zhou Li's words, he stopped and looked up and couldn't help but shouted: "Dungeon? What dungeon?"
Zhou Li turned around, also looking somewhat surprised. He asked Hua Shi, "Don't you know?"
Hua Shi was puzzled: "Know what?"
Zhou Li said: "The person that the Xuanling Pavilion Master wants you to meet is none other than the great demon Wen Zhong who has been imprisoned in our Hanxi Sect dungeon for a thousand years."
Hua Shi murmured, "Wen Zhong? Why did another devil appear? Isn't the evil master Fang Wei the biggest devil?"
Zhou Li said, "You don't know? Wen Zhong was the left protector of Fengyu Palace, Fang Wei's most capable assistant, and he had committed countless murders. After Fang Wei's death, Wen Zhong became a demon and went into Hanxi Sect alone, injuring countless of my disciples. Even my master almost died at his hands. It was only later that Ji Yuanlingzhu brought people to help, and with the combined strength of everyone, he was finally subdued and imprisoned in the dungeon."
