When Sheng Ning and the others rushed into Mo Jingchun's courtyard, what they saw was two coal lumps, one big and one small, standing in the yard blowing smoke rings.
Upon seeing Bai Ze there, Su Daiyuan and the others rushed to Mo Jingchun's side and carried his stiff body, which had been cleaved by the blows, into the house before they breathed a sigh of relief.
Sheng Ning glanced at her senior brothers' quick and skillful movements, and mumbled, "Last time, Master was also struck by lightning in the house."
Su Daiyuan and the others: ......
"Or, shall we carry him out again?"
Yu scratched his head and turned to go inside.
As soon as he turned around, Guan Yunchuan grabbed his wrist. "At least the house still has the Vajra Talisman to protect it a little."
"If we were to carry him out again..." Lu Jingshen looked up at the sky.
Yu stopped in his tracks, only then noticing that there was someone else in the courtyard.
Bai Ze always wears white, and his clothes must be special magical artifacts that can change with his body shape.
At this moment, the magical artifacts on his body were charred black, and even the little face that Sheng Ning usually liked to pinch was slashed black.
His long hair was not tied up, perhaps because of the lightning strike earlier, which made it stand up.
Sheng Ning crouched down and stood in front of him, her raised hand unsure of where to begin. "Lord Bai Ze, are you alright?"
Bai Ze, who had been frozen in place, finally came to his senses. He rolled his eyes, and after a while, he parted his lips slightly, and a wisp of white smoke came out of his mouth.
"Something's up..."
He simply followed the directions given by Qiuqiu and arrived at this small courtyard.
He saw someone in the yard, a handsome man, and immediately raised his hand to knock on the door.
Soon, a commotion came from the courtyard, and the handsome man told him not to go in.
If you praise Bai Ze nicely and talk to him properly, he might listen to you for a bit.
But Mo Jingchun's first words were to drive him away.
Without a word, Bai Ze, who was inherently rebellious, pushed open the courtyard gate.
To his surprise, as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Mo Jingchun turn around and run away as if he had seen a ghost.
Bai Ze's rebellious spirit instantly surged, and he strode forward, grabbing his wrist.
Why are you running? Do I look scary?
Mo Jingchun, who had been sitting alone in the courtyard, now showed a look of fear on her delicate face.
Seeing him purse his lips and shake his head, and then seeing him point to the sky, Bai Ze asked in confusion, "Are you afraid someone is eavesdropping?"
Mo Jingchun never expected him to be so intelligent at such a young age.
He nodded vigorously.
Bai Ze has been in the Invincible Sect for some time now. Although he and Sheng Ning have been staying in Youyun City during this time, the Invincible Sect is a small sect, so who could possibly be eavesdropping?
Moreover, this courtyard is not the same as the one where Sheng Ning and the others live.
He had just been outside the courtyard gate and clearly saw that Vajra talismans had been placed in every corner of the courtyard.
That's why he was curious about who lived there.
"Don't worry, there's no one around. Besides, the Invincible Sect is a small sect. Apart from Sheng Ning and his group always causing trouble and provoking the Taixu Sect, everything else is fine."
Bai Ze's reassurance of "mature beyond his years" did not bring Mo Jingchun any real comfort.
Because he saw dark clouds drifting this way!
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"
He tried to shake Bai Ze off, but Bai Ze still had a magical artifact in his hand.
The moment the vines wrapped around his wrist, the light in Mo Jingchun's eyes vanished.
Oh wow.
I'm going to get chopped up again today.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when a massive bolt of lightning struck him and Bai Ze.
"I already told you... let me go."
"You little brat... why won't you listen to advice?"
Mo Jingchun wanted to cry, but couldn't.
Just as he finished speaking, another bolt of lightning struck the two of them.
Mo Jingchun: ......
Damn it, let him die!
He couldn't stand being attacked every single day like this!
Mo Jingchun, whose body was stiff from being cleaved but whose mind was still clear, had a ferocious expression on his face, as if he were wearing a mask of pain.
When Sheng Ning and the others arrived, this was the scene they saw.
Su Daiyuan and the others hurriedly carried him into the room. Mo Jingchun lay on the canopy bed, sobbing.
If he could, at this moment, all he wanted to do was curse the heavens.
"Damn you, God, if you have the guts, strike me dead with a bolt of lightning!"
The barely audible words that escaped his throat had barely left his lips when he heard a rumble of thunder outside. He immediately grabbed the blanket beside him and hid inside.
"Just kidding, just kidding. You are so kind and wise, how could you possibly lay a hand on a nobody like me?"
Even when he was alone in bed, Mo Jingchun seemed to have long been used to talking to himself.
Just as he finished speaking, the rumbling thunder outside subsided.
Relieved, Mo Jingchun sat up in bed and looked at the Vajra talisman that her second disciple had specially drawn on the quilt for her, and tears welled up in her eyes.
He grabbed a handkerchief from under his pillow to wipe his tears. If Sheng Ning were present, she would have seen that the handkerchief in his hand was covered with Vajra symbols.
Outside the courtyard, Sheng Ning took out a handkerchief to wipe Bai Ze's face until his face was clean again before she stopped.
"How did you end up here?"
Mo Jingchun's courtyard was secluded; the place where she had let Bai Ze play in the mud was about a quarter of an hour's walk away.
Moreover, the place is filled with all kinds of towering trees, and Mo Jingchun's courtyard is so small that it would not be so easy to be discovered.
When the lightning struck, Qiuqiu, who was in Bai Ze's arms, was also struck.
Just as Sheng Ning finished asking her question, Qiuqiu, who had gone limp, fell to the ground with a 'plop'.
Sheng Ning even saw it struggle to raise its head, chirping softly.
Its listless appearance showed that it had just been hit hard.
It took Bai Ze a while to recover from the feeling of being struck by lightning.
He is a divine beast who lives on Tianling Mountain year-round and has never encountered any tribulations or lightning.
Now that he has come to the mainland with Sheng Ning and the others, he has broadened his horizons.
“Chiu Chiu brought me here. This world is too scary. I want to go back to Tianling Mountain.”
Mo Jingchun had only exchanged two words with him when they were both cleaved in two like this.
From now on, he must avoid Mo Jingchun—no, avoid this little courtyard!
His little face scrunched up, and the moment he saw the worried look on Sheng Ning's face, he couldn't help but throw himself into her arms.
"This is your master? This is terrifying! How can he summon heavenly lightning?!"
This is a question that Sheng Ning and the others also want to know...
She patted his back and gently comforted him. As she looked up, she saw Mo Jingchun's charred head peeking out from the doorway.
While he was speaking, he could also reveal two rows of white teeth.
"I let him go."
His face was scrunched up, his fingers gripping the door tightly, and his pitiful appearance, filled with grievances but with no one to confide in, was heartbreaking.
