Chapter 112 It seems that my junior brother has gotten into some unnecessary trouble.
In that fierce battle at Fumu Mountain that year, Yu Qingzhou never expected that she would survive.
He doesn't even remember how it all ended.
When I woke up, I was already lying at the foot of the mountain.
The demonic energy that had been lingering in the mountains had completely dissipated.
Sunlight broke through the clouds and shone down on the earth. Tiny, tender green leaves sprouted from the withered trees, growing vigorously towards the azure sky.
What should have been a joyous and uplifting scene left Yu Qingzhou feeling utterly unhappy.
Because in the end, he still couldn't save his senior sister.
—When exactly did my senior sister start to change from what she used to be?
Yu Qingzhou was completely baffled.
Perhaps it was that time when the senior sister, who had been missing in the Asura Domain for many days, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, casting a strange and unfamiliar glance at them with her dark eyes.
Or perhaps it was on that occasion that Yu Qingzhou, carrying a gift she had prepared beforehand, found her senior sister practicing swordsmanship in the snow-covered courtyard.
Senior sister stared at the hair ribbon in his hand for a long time, until Yu Qingzhou's heart was about to burst out of her chest, before she finally smiled gently and beautifully.
She said she liked anything given to her by her junior brother.
As she spoke, the woman's dark eyes were fixed on Yu Qingzhou's face.
Feeling embarrassed by the other person's gaze, Yu Qingzhou couldn't help but glance to the side.
His senior sister has always been aloof, rarely smiling or talking much.
Yu Qingzhou was picked up by her senior sister and was raised by her from a young age.
Perhaps for this reason, the senior sister was willing to talk to him more and was more enthusiastic than others.
As time went on, rumors began to circulate among the disciples that the two had long harbored feelings for each other and were just one step away from confessing their feelings.
However, Yu Qingzhou felt that the so-called window paper that could be easily broken was simply nonsense.
Because the way his senior sister looked at him was always so clean and honest. Although she would occasionally show some pity and concern, there was no extra romantic feelings mixed in.
Yu Qingzhou knew that his senior sister had far greater ambitions than romance.
That is to eliminate demons and uphold justice, and slaughter all the demons in the world.
The reason for using the word "slaughter" is that every time the senior sister makes a move, it is inevitably accompanied by a bloody massacre.
To cut the weeds, one must nip them in the bud.
This is a phrase his senior often used to admonish him: "Winning doesn't mean anything. But if you lose, you'll lose far more than just your life."
Whenever she heard her senior sister say this, Yu Qingzhou would nod and obediently acknowledge that she remembered it.
It could be said that Yu Qingzhou actually respected her senior sister more than her master, who was always in seclusion and whom she could only see three to five times a year.
As she grew older, perhaps due to hearing too much gossip, Yu Qingzhou would sometimes find herself momentarily distracted by the woman's increasingly beautiful and ethereal face.
Gradually, some inappropriate thoughts began to arise.
Yu Qingzhou was worried that if her wishful thinking were discovered, she would be alienated by her senior sister.
Therefore, he kept the thought to himself.
Little did he know that what he thought was foolproof was already full of flaws in front of his senior sister who knew him well.
For a long time afterward, Yu Qingzhou noticed that her senior sister was often not on the mountain, and when asked, she would say that she had gone out to do missions.
[Brother asked Senior Sister Shen if she had gone on another mission. She had barely left when you returned. What bad timing.]
Despite saying this, Chang Li showed no sign of regret on his face.
—Oops, I missed it again.
Yu Qingzhou thought to himself.
They returned for only a few days, and before they even met, they hurriedly left again for their next destination.
Once they leave, it will be another ten days or half a month.
And so it goes on and on...
At first, Yu Qingzhou thought it was just a coincidence, but as time went on, she realized that it might be a silent rejection.
Yu Qingzhou had considered whether she should have an open and honest talk with her senior sister face to face.
Make it clear that you do have feelings for the other person, but that's all... and you have no other improper thoughts.
Yu Qingzhou was willing to remain Shen Yingxue's junior brother for the rest of his life.
That's enough, that's enough.
Unfortunately, perhaps it was fate, the two of them always missed each other.
Later, Yu Qingzhou gradually let go of it, telling himself that there was nothing wrong with letting things take their natural course.
Brothers and sisters from the same sect will always sit at the same table for meals during festivals or major sect ceremonies.
Just as Yu Qingzhou was beginning to convince herself, Shen Yingxue disappeared.
They vanished into the depths of the Asura Domain, leaving no trace, neither alive nor dead.
This time, Yu Qingzhou could no longer hold back, and he finished his work early.
They rushed to the vicinity of the incident site, covered in dust, where several teams were already conducting rescue operations.
After two days of fruitless searching, it was recently decided to expand the search area to the interior of the Asura Domain, which significantly increased the risk of the search.
This has led to higher requirements for the screening of personnel entering the program.
Otherwise, if the rescued person doesn't come back, and the rescuer is killed instead, wouldn't that be a double loss? It would definitely be a losing proposition.
Fortunately, Yu Qingzhou was also allowed to enter the area to conduct search and rescue operations.
Unfortunately, not long after entering, Yu Qingzhou was stopped by a monster with half health.
Although he ultimately won, it took a lot of effort. However, he was ultimately unable to kill his opponent.
Because of a jade pendant, Yu Qingzhou realized that the monster had a deep connection with his sect.
Therefore, they only removed the demonic eye, which contained most of the power, leaving behind the boy in human form.
However, this was just the beginning of an unexpected turn of events.
During her subsequent explorations, Yu Qingzhou not only failed to find her senior sister, but was also ambushed by an unknown monster. She was seriously injured and had the sword that her senior sister had given her stolen.
Yu Qingzhou almost died by his own sword.
At the time, he thought it was just a fluke, and with his last bit of strength, he crawled back to the cave where he had settled.
Yu Qingzhou didn't actually hope that the boy named Li Xiao could save her. She was driven more by her survival instinct.
Surprisingly, he actually survived, but at the cost of almost being pinned down and devoured alive.
Fortunately, Yu Qingzhou woke up in time due to the strange feeling in her body and pushed the other person away.
Nevertheless, it still ended up with a lot of saliva and teeth marks, and I can't forget that sticky, weird feeling.
Yu Qingzhou repeatedly told herself that this boy was just an uncivilized half-demon.
In addition, the other party had indeed saved his life.
Only then did he forcibly suppress his murderous intent.
Considering the actual situation, Yu Qingzhou decided to temporarily return to the temporary base near the exit to rest and complete the handover to Li Xiao.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qingzhou had just returned to the base when she heard news of Shen Yingxue.
Shen Yingxue actually came back on her own.
"Senior Brother Yu, you've come at just the right time. We were just about to pass on this fantastic news to you."
As one of the junior disciples spoke, he tried to get closer to Yu Qingzhou.
Suddenly, a chill ran down his back, and he abruptly pulled his hand back. He touched the back of his neck in surprise: "Huh, why do I feel so cold? Senior brother, can you feel it? It's like I'm being stared at by some dirty thing."
As they were talking, she glanced at her head and was met with the face of an unfamiliar young man.
I was so startled that I almost jumped up on the spot.
After regaining her senses, she was momentarily stunned by the boy's appearance.
"this……"
After a moment of stunned silence, the junior brother secretly pulled Yu Qingzhou aside and whispered to the young man, "Wait, Senior Brother Yu, where did you find such a beautiful little vixen? Aren't you afraid that Senior Sister Shen will get jealous and chop you both up?"
He was obviously joking.
No matter how you look at it, Shen Yingxue and the word "jealousy" just don't seem to fit together.
However, one thing is true: Shen Yingxue has an extremely low tolerance for demons, so what this junior brother said could actually happen.
Hearing that her senior sister was safe and sound, Yu Qingzhou finally felt relieved.
He had been looking forward to seeing Shen Yingxue, and upon hearing his junior brother's joke, he subconsciously began searching for his senior sister in the crowd.
Then I saw those dark eyes that were quietly watching me.
Having finally met her senior sister whom she had been searching for so long, Yu Qingzhou should have been overjoyed.
But for some reason, the moment their eyes met, Yu Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and a faint chill suddenly ran through her body.
It was just a fleeting feeling...
A familiar, faint smile immediately appeared on that exquisitely beautiful face.
—Is it just my imagination?
—It must be an illusion.
Yu Qingzhou said to himself.
After all, she's my senior sister.
"What are you looking at, little Taoist priest? Your eyes are about to pop out!"
A warm breath suddenly brushed against her ear. Just as she was lost in thought, this unexpected touch made Yu Qingzhou instinctively take a step back in the opposite direction.
Then I saw Li Xiao's face wrapped in gauze.
The boy's words were sharp and sarcastic, which was extremely unpleasant to hear, but when paired with his flamboyantly handsome face, they suddenly seemed to make sense.
Since that awkward night, the two have barely spoken.
Yu Qingzhou felt that every time she saw the boy, fragmented images of being trapped under him and being licked and bitten indiscriminately would involuntarily flash through her mind, and she would feel an indescribable sense of shame and a strong feeling of being offended.
It's better to avoid seeing him altogether; it's good to see Li Xiao less often and exchange fewer words with him.
As for Li Xiao, he simply couldn't swallow the resentment he felt that night when Yu Qingzhou pointed a sword at him.
In his view, he had not only done nothing wrong, but had also risked his life to save Yu Qingzhou, yet the other party was so ungrateful and treacherous.
Li Xiao felt he was being magnanimous and thought that he would stop arguing with this human when Yu Qingzhou apologized.
To my surprise, the other person acted as if they had taken the wrong medicine, refusing to apologize, or even spare me a glance or a word.
Li Xiao was frustrated and unhappy, thinking to himself, "How can there be such an ungrateful person?"
He was already seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it when he saw Yu Qingzhou staring intently at a stranger as if she had seen a ghost, her eyes practically glued to him...
Li Xiao couldn't hold back any longer.
His mouth always speaks faster than his brain, and he almost blurts out his thoughts without thinking.
Seeing that Yu Qingzhou suddenly came to her senses because of his actions, and even a hint of surprise and panic flashed across her face, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a little smug.
—Hmph, that'll teach you to be arrogant and always look elsewhere.
Li Xiao had just glanced at that Senior Sister Yingxue along with Yu Qingzhou. Not only was she dressed in all black, but she also had a cold face, giving off a very dejected vibe.
I don't know what's wrong with Yu Qingzhou's eyes, she actually likes to stare at that kind of dark and messy thing.
Unlike me, with my shiny hair and bright eyes, I'm incredibly charming.
Yu Qingzhou was clearly dissatisfied with Li Xiao's behavior, but in front of so many fellow disciples and friends from other sects, he couldn't argue with him. After all, if the boy were reasonable, the previous misunderstanding wouldn't have happened.
Moreover, the boy's identity is awkward, and the area is populated by a diverse group of people, including some extreme individuals who vehemently hate demons.
If the other party's identity is revealed during an argument, it could very likely lead to unnecessary disputes.
—Fine, I'll just have to endure it for a little longer.
Yu Qingzhou told himself that as long as he returned to the Hidden Immortal Sect and brought Li Xiao to his senior uncle, whether the other party lived or died, or what happened to him, would be none of his concern.
Having figured this out, Yu Qingzhou simply adopted the same attitude of ignoring it as before.
People who create trouble out of nothing are most afraid of being ignored. It's like a child deliberately making a fuss to get attention and sympathy. If left unattended or bored, they won't bother with it anymore.
Yu Qingzhou made up her mind to ignore Li Xiao.
Seeing that Yu Qingzhou had casually looked away, Li Xiao realized that his attack had failed and was about to say something more.
Before I could even open my mouth, a sudden chill ran through me, and I started sneezing uncontrollably.
The sneeze came suddenly and was extremely loud.
People around them stepped back and cast curious or surprised glances their way.
Yu Qingzhou, who was standing closest to Li Xiao, could only be forced to accept the scrutiny of everyone's gazes.
He frowned slightly, unsure whether the other person was genuinely infected with typhoid fever or was deliberately making such a conspicuous gesture to express their dissatisfaction with him.
Just then, a familiar voice was heard behind him, calling out to his junior brother.
Turning around, he saw that it was indeed Senior Sister Yingxue who had appeared beside him at some point.
"It's been a long time." Shen Yingxue smiled slightly, her somewhat aloof features softening instantly.
The smile was so familiar that Yu Qingzhou couldn't help but realize how absurd her thoughts had been.
My senior sister is still the same senior sister, so why does she seem so unfamiliar?
"Senior sister, how have you been? I'm relieved to see you're doing well." As Yu Qingzhou spoke, her lips involuntarily began to curl upwards, even though she didn't want to.
Shen Yingxue smiled as well, and at the same time glanced at the boy next to her who kept sneezing, seemingly unintentionally, and said lightly, "Junior brother seems to have gotten into some unnecessary trouble."
