Chapter 1236 Who doesn’t want to catch him after seeing him?
She might not even be able to come back alive if she left the island to carry out the mission. She really didn't know how she would cross the long distance to find everyone in the Central Plains.
There are things I want to do, but I have been waiting for more than a hundred years and am still unable to do anything. Every day I am tormented by expectation and despair, and I curse myself for not being able to be more useful.
Hua Shiqing didn't know how long she had been crying, and Ye Linglong just stood there, letting her cry and relieve her emotions.
At that moment, she suddenly felt so distressed.
Although her life was very hard, she was able to fight. She had the means and ability to do what she wanted to do on her own.
But what the fourth sister wanted to do was beyond her ability.
The most painful thing in this world is to have a desire but be unable to do anything about it. It will make people always worry about it, constantly waste their energy, and finally suffer repeatedly in pain and self-blame.
If there hadn't been a problem with the passage, or if there hadn't been such bad luck befalling their Qingxuan Sect, an alchemy genius like Fourth Senior Sister should have been high above everyone else, worshipped and admired by countless people, right?
How did I end up feeling like a piece of trash every day?
"Little Junior Sister, I'm done crying."
Hua Shiqing got up from Ye Linglong's shoulders and performed a cleansing spell to clean her shoulders.
At this moment she finally realized that being a senior sister was a bit too embarrassing. She had a pair of swollen eyes and looked a little embarrassed but innocent, which looked very funny.
"Cry now, stop crying. After you find us, you won't have to cry like this anymore."
Hua Shiqing nodded and then showed a brilliant smile.
"Junior sister, why are you wearing masks?"
Ye Linglong took off the mask on her face, revealing her original appearance.
"I should ask you this. I fell into the East China Sea and was first swallowed by your Red Brocade. After finally getting out, it took me into a snake cave and I saw living people. In the end, not a single one of them did not cover their faces."
Ye Linglong said with a smile: "So I thought covering your face is a custom here, so we just follow the local customs."
Hua Shiqing made her laugh.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Dongwang Palace and Xichuanlou are both assassin organizations. In order to protect themselves, they will not let others see their appearance, so they will wear masks and face scarves."
"What about you?"
"I have to wear a veil when I come out of Penglai Island to carry out my mission. Otherwise, if I walk on the street and people recognize me as coming from Penglai, I will be in danger. In this chaotic East China Sea, there are too many people who cover their faces to hide their identities. It is safer for me to cover my face and blend in with them."
After saying this, Hua Shiqing sighed heavily.
"I just didn't expect that I would be targeted by the people from Xichuanlou before I even reached the shore. This veil was used in vain, and it also affected my recognition with my junior sister."
"It doesn't matter. It's the same if I can recognize the sword, even if I can't recognize the person. Sooner or later, we will recognize each other."
Hua Shiqing nodded.
"Yes, we will recognize each other sooner or later! Oh, by the way, Junior Sister, I have saved a lot of elixirs over the years. I was thinking that if we meet again one day, I will have a big gift for you!"
As Hua Shiqing spoke, she took out a large box from the ring and placed it in front of Ye Linglong.
"This one is for Junior Sister. Besides this, there is also this."
Hua Shiqing took out a booklet from the ring and handed it to Ye Linglong.
"This is the book of elixirs I made. Each of you will have one. If you need anything, just look for it in the book and tell me. I can make it for you."
When Ye Linglong saw this handwritten, meticulously crafted booklet, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Her fourth senior sister is still the attentive and meticulous senior sister. Everyone has their own strengths. She is just not good at fighting and has a simple mind. How can she be a piece of crap?
"Fourth Senior Sister, you did so much for us, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"Well, can an alchemist be short of money?"
Hua Shiqing smiled and said, "I don't even need to buy materials myself to make pills. After I became famous, many people sent me materials. The materials they sent were double. My failure rate in making pills is low, so I can basically get one myself."
Having said this, she lowered her voice a little.
"Of course, having a good reputation has its disadvantages. For example, if someone doesn't go to Penglai Island to ask for elixir, but I go out, I will be unsafe. Whoever catches me will get a free elixir furnace, so who wouldn't want to catch me?"
"Yeah, I'd want to catch him if I saw him, so isn't that just meddling in your business and helping you?"
Ye Linglong smiled, and Hua Shiqing also smiled. The two sisters who met again after a long time exchanged gifts, talked, and put on their veils again and walked forward.
Ye Linglong planned to settle the fourth senior sister in a new safe place and then contact the second and fifth senior brothers.
However, just as they walked down a hill, the laughter stopped abruptly.
The bright moonlight shone on the earth, and they could clearly see the scene ahead.
On the hillside of their small hill, very close to them, lay a group of people.
This group of people were wearing white, smart clothes. Although they were not the same style as the one worn by Bai Lu, they were from the same series.
In other words, the group of people lying there were all killers of Dongwang Palace.
Above the group of people lying down, there stood a man dressed in black, wearing a black mask, and holding a sword that was still dripping with blood.
The moonlight shone on the bloody sword, making the murderous intent it exuded even more terrifying.
The moment Ye Linglong saw him, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on Hua Shiqing's hand.
Because the person in front of him was none other than Nightingale, the number one killer of Xichuanlou, who had reached the late Mahayana stage and was on par with Bai Lu.
He was waiting for them.
However, this distance was no longer enough for them to escape easily.
"Why is Nightingale here? Isn't he fighting with Egret?"
Hua Shiqing was extremely nervous. She didn't want to die before she met her junior sister. Now that they were finally reunited, God knows how happy she was. She didn't want to die even more.
"have no idea."
"Hand it over."
Nightingale raised her hand towards Hua Shiqing.
Hua Shiqing hesitated for a second, then turned around and ran away.
As soon as she ran, Nightingale teleported to her side in an instant and stabbed Hua Shiqing with a sword. Ye Linglong didn't have time to draw his sword, so he rushed towards Nightingale, trying to stop Nightingale and let Hua Shiqing run.
Because of the close distance, she successfully stopped Nightingale, but he hit her with a palm, and she was knocked away and hit hard on a rock on the hillside.
"Crack, crack, crack." The sound of her bones being broken came to her ears, and Ye Linglong spat out a mouthful of blood. The top master in the late Mahayana period was indeed extraordinary.
She was totally unbeatable.
What to do?
