Chapter 305 Guests
If Qiao Yue was a little confused and out of touch with the situation at the beginning, she would be stupid if she still hasn't reacted now.
This feeling was very strange. It was not that she felt they were not a good match, but before she left, her junior brother and sister were still teenagers. She just went out to explore a few secret realms, and it felt like in the blink of an eye, her junior sister and brother were together.
It feels like watching two little kids in love.
The group's return to Anyang City caused quite a stir. News spread like wildfire, even reaching the demons.
The Demon Lord was half lying on the luxurious couch, his posture lazy and casual, slowly playing with an exquisite wine glass in his hand, the crystal clear wine swaying gently in the glass.
Below, Xuan Si knelt on one knee. He had just returned from gathering information and reported respectfully and humbly, "Your Majesty, the disciples of the sect alliance have all arrived. Will we still launch an offensive tonight?"
Mingye's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a wanton and devilish smile, and he slowly said: "No, I'll take a day off."
"Yes." Xuan Si accepted the order and retreated quietly.
As soon as he left, Xuan Da hurried in.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest intercepted information."
Mingye saw the message on the note and laughed. His smile was dangerous, revealing a madness that made people feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar, as if disaster would befall them if they were not careful.
"An unaffordable dog."
"Bring the person here."
Xuan Da retreated, and after a while, Xuan Da walked in with a tall and thin demon general.
"Your Majesty."
The tall, thin man raised his eyes, and their gaze met Mingye's. The half-smile in his eyes seemed to see through everything, making him feel uneasy for no reason, and his heart beat like a drum.
He quickly bowed his head and said respectfully, "I wonder what your Majesty has ordered."
"Why are you so nervous? I don't eat people."
Mingye raised his hand, his tone calm, his emotions unrecognizable: "Sit down."
Xuan Da disappeared silently, leaving only Ming Ye and the other two in the tent.
Hu Hu sat down tremblingly in the lower position.
Mingye was still as casual as ever, chatting with him in a rambling manner.
"I've had a severe headache lately and can't remember a lot of things. General Hu has been with me the longest, so please help me recall what I said and see if it's true."
Hu Hu swallowed and calmed the fear in his heart.
"It is my honor to serve you, Your Majesty. I will tell you everything I know."
Mingye's lips curled up slightly, and his deep black eyes were full of coldness.
"I remember the first time I saw you was in the Demon Forest. You were being chased by monsters and asked me to save you. Since then, you have been following me. Is that wrong?"
Hu Hu's tense expression relaxed a bit. "Yes, if it weren't for Your Majesty, I'm afraid I wouldn't have escaped the disaster."
Mingye: "Do you still remember what you said back then?"
Hu Hu shuddered slightly, and after a brief recollection, he quickly replied, "This subordinate wishes to follow His Majesty for the rest of his life, serving you with unwavering devotion, willing to endure fire and water. If I betray you... I will die, and my soul will be forever annihilated, never to enter the cycle of reincarnation."
At the end of his words, his voice softened a little, and a chill ran down his spine.
He suddenly looked up and met Mingye's cold gaze. His heart went cold and he had only one thought: if His Majesty knew, it would be all over.
“Your Majesty…”
Mingye: "I believe I have never treated you unfairly over the years. You really disappoint me."
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation."
Mingye placed the wine glass on the table, and a powerful pressure quickly spread out, covering the entire tent.
Hu Hu was originally sitting, but now he was kneeling on the ground. His spine was compressed and he couldn't lift it up. His face was flushed and his veins were bulging. He was in great pain.
“Your Majesty…”
Hu Hu tried to struggle, but the excruciating pain in his body showed no sign of easing. He felt as if his internal organs were being rubbed mercilessly by a pair of invisible hands, causing him to groan in agony.
"Be good, die in peace."
Mingye watched him struggle in pain and die in the end, and his expression never changed.
Xuan Da walked in and had his body dragged away.
Mingye stood up and walked outside the tent.
The sky looked like it was splashed with thick ink, and the heavy dark clouds were like huge curtains, pressing down layer by layer, as if to bury everything in the world.
Mingye stared at the sky, his eyes dark. "Get ready. We have guests coming in a couple of days."
"yes"
…
The disciples of the sect alliance had become accustomed to the nightly attacks of demons and monsters. With the arrival of reinforcements today, everyone was energized and eager to fight back.
But as the night wore on and daylight began to rise, the battlefield was completely silent. The demons hadn't appeared as usual, and the disciples looked at each other in confusion.
"The demons have a serious problem. They've been acting like mad dogs for a while now. When our reinforcements arrive, they become like turtles."
"They must have known that my senior brother and the others were here, so they got scared."
"Bah, you're obviously afraid of my senior brother..."
“…”
Several disciples of the sect started arguing about whose eldest brother was more powerful.
Now that so many disciples have come to Anyang City, there is no need for Jiang Xia and others to keep watch on the city wall. Several senior disciples discussed and decided to take turns to keep watch and rest. If there is an attack from the demons, they will guard together.
Today is the day for the disciples of Tianjian Sect to guard.
The other disciples of the sect were now surrounding their eldest brother and chattering affectionately.
As soon as Zhou Shiqing arrived, he heard other disciples talking about Jian Mo's injury and asked with concern, "Junior sister, are you healed?"
"It's just a superficial wound, it's nothing serious, it's all healed." Jian Mo spoke to Zhou Shiqing, and the cool aura around her blended a little more.
Zhuo Hua pouted: "Big Brother, please care about me too!"
Zhou Shiqing smiled, patted Zhuo Hua's shoulder gently, and said gently: "Junior brother, you have worked hard during this period."
Zhuo Hua immediately broke into a brilliant smile, and scratched his head with a silly grin: "Hehe, this is what I should do as a disciple of the Huanhai Sect."
As he spoke, he leaned in front of Zhou Shiqing, his eyes sparkling with gossip. He lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Big Brother, have you read the book I gave you before? How far have you and Senior Sister Qiao progressed?"
"When will good things come?"
Zhou Shiqing: “…”
Thinking of what was written in the book, the tips of her fair ears turned slightly red.
He doesn't want to talk about this.
Zhou Shiqing's abnormality was not obvious, and Zhuo Hua did not notice it. He just thought that the senior brother Duan Fangya was not paying attention.
"Big Brother, you can't do this. You have to take the initiative and bring Senior Sister Qiao back to our sect as soon as possible. This is the most important thing..."
Before he could finish his words, Jian Mo twisted his ear.
"It hurts... Senior Sister, I was wrong..."
No matter what the reason, it’s always better to admit your mistake first.
Jian Mo ignored him and said to Zhou Shiqing, "Big Brother, I'll take care of the little brother. You can have a good rest."
After saying that, he took the person away.
After leaving Zhou Shiqing's yard, Jian Mo let go of his hand and warned him, "Don't get involved in the matter between Senior Brother and Senior Sister Qiao."
Zhuo Hua rubbed his ears and said aggrievedly: "I know."
