Rescue A Li
Fu Tan's eyes were wide open with excitement and he couldn't sleep all night. An Luoyi's promise echoed in his mind over and over again until he fell asleep in the middle of the night.
The next day, Fu Tan woke up very early and went to see An Luoyi dressed neatly.
An Luoyi was no different. She got up at noon and meditated as usual. When the time came, she stopped and called Fu Tan to get up. However, she knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. Suddenly, she turned around and heard a loud and clear voice.
"Sister!" Fu Tan ran over with a radiant look on his face.
An Luoyi was a little surprised: "Why are you up so early today?"
"Yeah!" Fu Tan nodded vigorously and said, "Let's go."
By midday, An Luoyi had already led Fu Tan through most of the Immortal Residence. Fu Tan's initial enthusiasm had been dampened by the long walk. He'd thought his sister would show him something interesting, but instead, he'd simply familiarized himself with the layout of the residence. The Immortal Residence couldn't be flown, and Fu Tan didn't know any magic. After the entire circuit, An Luoyi looked perfectly calm, but Fu Tan was exhausted.
When they reached the Fairy Mansion Flower Garden, Fu Tan finally couldn't stand it anymore and said breathlessly, "Sister, let's stop for a while."
After saying that, Fu Tan sat down against a big tree. An Luoyi then noticed that he was sweating. She produced a handkerchief and wiped it for him: "Sorry, I was careless."
Fu Tan smiled and said comfortingly: "It's okay, I'm just too useless..."
An Luoyi said, "Why don't I teach you how to practice magic?"
Fu Tan said happily, "Okay."
"hiss……"
Suddenly, he felt a pain on his forehead, and Fu Tan covered his head and looked up.
It was as if a wounded bird was chased here and accidentally stepped on a drooping branch. The branch fell and hit Fu Tan's head. The bird missed its step and fell down.
An Luoyi caught the bird in time to prevent it from falling to the ground, and also prevented Fu Tan from facing the fate of being "hit on the head" again.
Three or five male disciples caught up and saw that it was An Luoyi. They saluted respectfully and said, "Lady Saint."
An Luoyi looked over and saw that several people were watching the bird in his hand and seemed to have some plan. The bird fluttered its injured wings and curled up in An Luoyi's palm in fear.
"Is this your little bird?" There was a hint of doubt in An Luoyi's calm voice.
The disciples nodded frequently like chicks pecking at rice: "Your Excellency, yes."
An Luoyi remained silent. One of the disciples boldly asked, "Can the Saint be returned?"
The people who were traveling with him quickly pulled him to his knees. "How dare you act so rashly in front of the Saint?" One of them loudly scolded his unruly companion.
Then someone else said to An Luoyi in a low voice, "This person doesn't know the rules. I hope the Saint will not blame you."
Fu Tan was quite interested in these people. He stood up from under the tree and slowly walked up to An Luoyi with a sinister smile. These disciples had an aura that he liked...
An Luoyi didn't blame the man for his rudeness, but asked coldly, "Why is this little bird so badly injured?"
"This..." Several people were embarrassed and could not answer. No one dared to say that the little bird ran away because it could not bear their teasing.
"Not talking?" An Luoyi raised his eyebrows.
Fu Tan said with interest, "Sister, I think it was these people who did it, they just didn't dare to say anything."
An Luoyi had a vague guess but did not jump to conclusion. The bird had already awakened its spiritual consciousness and it would only be a matter of time before it could transform as long as it practiced properly. An Luoyi helped it. A slight coolness came from her palm that held the bird, and dots of blue spiritual power flashed by. The bird found that it could actually speak.
"Who hurt you like this?" An Luoyi asked the bird in his palm solemnly, as if he wanted to seek justice for it.
The bird's chirping cries transformed into human language: "It's them! I was originally a little bird in the monastery. These mediocre disciples saw my extraordinary talent and early spiritual awareness and became jealous. They bullied me and plucked my feathers. Not satisfied with that, they also broke my wing bones. I escaped and stumbled all the way to this place."
Fu Tan raised an excited and sarcastic smile and said, "Sister, they are so mean."
The coldness emanating from An Luoyi's body made several male disciples feel cold in their hearts. They knelt in a row tremblingly, not daring to make any big movements.
An Luoyi's icy voice rang out: "As disciples of the Immortal Palace, you are lazy in your cultivation and have poor conduct. Each of you will go to the Frost Prison Valley to receive your punishment."
"Saint, we know we are wrong, please let us go!" When they heard the words "Cold Prison Valley", they felt like the sky was falling and wailed endlessly.
Several people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. An Luoyi walked up to them and looked at them with a look of contempt: "It seems that you still don't know where you are wrong. Increase the punishment!"
An Luoyi's cold and ruthless words shocked everyone. They didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore and had to swallow their anger and go to receive the punishment.
After the annoying person left, An Luoyi no longer had the mood to continue strolling with Fu Tan. She took the bird into her arms and said, "Let's go back."
Fu Tan didn't have the strength to walk anymore, so he clung to her tightly. An Luoyi waved his hand and they returned to Chaoyun Palace.
"Sister, let me bandage the wound of this little bird." Fu Tan shook his head.
An Luoyi said, "No need."
As soon as An Luoyi cast a spell, the bird's broken bones healed!
Fu Tan said in surprise: "Sister, you are so amazing!"
An Luoyi smiled modestly: "It's just a little trick I learned from Qianyu."
"Oh, it's her." The smile on Fu Tan's lips suddenly fell, and he turned around so that An Luoyi wouldn't see his jealous face.
Anluo wanted to release the bird back to the world, but the bird insisted on staying: "Lady Saint, please let me stay! It won't be long before I can transform and serve you!"
"Isn't it good to be in a free world? I have no shortage of people to serve me." An Luoyi rejected her.
"Lady Saint, please save me and help me. I want to repay you!" The bird shouted while circling above Chaoyun Palace.
An Luoyi said calmly: "I saved you without asking for anything in return, so go ahead."
The bird still refused to leave and was even more determined to stay: "Please, Saint Lady, please let me stay!"
An Luoyi was completely speechless... What kind of fate made her meet two difficult guys in succession? If this continued, Chaoyun Palace would have to be renamed "Shelter". She simply remained silent and ignored the chirping birds.
Seeing An Luoyi's attitude, the bird tacitly agreed, so it cheered loudly: "Thank you, Saint Lady! I will settle down under the ancient tree in Chaoyun Palace, and I will come to see you first when I transform! My name is A Li, you must remember me!"
After shouting this, A Li happily went to build a nest for himself.
An Luoyi held his forehead and felt a headache, so he went back to his room to rest.
In the end, Fu Tan was the only one left in the entire yard, standing in the corner with a terrifying aura.
Although Fu Tan agreed to be An Luoyi's attendant, An Luoyi did not treat him as a servant after all. Instead, he sent him to the school in the fairy palace to practice magic, so that he could learn the ability to protect himself and kill his free time. Before leaving, An Luoyi specially strengthened the seal of his true body, so that neither the fairy master nor the students could tell Fu Tan's origin.
Although they were two children of similar age, An Luoyi looked more mature when standing together. When she was sending Fu Tan to school, she acted like an elder sending a child, which was strange. In the end, An Luoyi left before she even saw him to the palace gate.
Fu Tan showed no signs of timidity in the academy, but his true nature was revealed when he was away from An Luoyi. The disciples' observations of him over the past few days could be summarized as: "Aloof, cold, and moody!"
No one knew which family this little junior brother came from. Moreover, he was taciturn and it was obvious that he was not easy to get along with, so they gave up the idea of making friends with him. As a result, Fu Tan was isolated. However, Fu Tan did not care about these things. He had a plan in mind and it was time to execute it.
An Luoyi left early and returned late, while Fu Tan was mostly at the academy, so they didn't see each other for months. This was exactly what Fu Tan wanted. Before, he didn't dare to act rashly when An Luoyi was by his side, but now he was afraid he would starve to death if he didn't absorb his strength.
He originally lived by gathering the resentment of heaven and earth and naturally fed on it, but there were very few evil thoughts in the Nine Heavens Upper Realm. Since he came here with Annanchi, it took him more than ten years to transform. It was no wonder that An Luoyi could not see his true form because of his weak strength. Even if Annanchi was present, it would be difficult to see it.
After being humble for so long, Fu Tan finally found his first delicacy, which were the evil guys he met in Huayuan... It just so happened that these guys were also in the school. Evil thoughts grew wildly in Fu Tan's heart. He licked his lips and went to the school as planned.
As soon as those disciples who had made mistakes came back after being punished, they met Fu Tan. They were furious when they thought of the painful wounds on their bodies.
Several people blocked Fu Tan's way and shouted harsh words one after another: "Aren't you the immortal attendant beside the Saint? When will a servant be able to practice with us?"
"I remember you were watching the excitement at the Flower Garden that day. Don't think you can gloat over misfortune just because you are the Saint's man."
"The Saint is just a little girl at best. We have a highly respected immortal on our side. We will make sure you don't get into trouble in this school!"
Fu Tan didn't react much to these words, but just sneered defiantly, which made the disciples even more furious. Since it was not easy to cause trouble in broad daylight, they spat before leaving.
When school was over, Fu Tan was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he seemed to be waiting for someone. Sure enough, several disciples who had blocked his way in the morning arrived as expected.
One of them pushed Fu Tan to the ground and shouted, "Where are you running to, slave?"
Very good, Fu Tan lowered his head and smiled secretly, just like this, the evil thoughts in his heart were infinitely magnified!
The few people did not notice anything unusual about Fu Tan. Seeing him curled up in a ball and looking pitiful, they became even more aggressive, punching and kicking Fu Tan while cursing him.
"Slave, let's see if you dare to be so arrogant!"
"You're just a slave, and you dare to laugh at us!"
"Bah! You deserve it!"
Fists and kicks landed on Fu Tan like flying shadows. He smiled faintly and didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, he felt extremely happy and carefree!
They had their own unique methods for beating people, choosing to strike in hidden places, so that Fu Tan would not be able to detect any clues the next day. After beating him for a while and seeing that the boy did not resist, they felt bored and prepared to let him go.
Unexpectedly, Fu Tan burst into laughter, shocking everyone and making them turn around to look.
"Not enough, not enough. Is this all you can do?" Fu Tan's tone was extremely arrogant, without any sense of servility at all.
His laughter angered the most irritable person among them. He turned back halfway and summoned a thunder whip to whip Fu Tan. Fu Tan, who was half-kneeling, was knocked to the ground by the whip. The whip gathered the power of heaven and earth and had the force of thunder. Just one whip could tear his skin and flesh, and the lightning could pierce his heart and make him feel pain in his bones.
Fu Tan rolled back and forth from the beating, yet a smile remained on his lips. In his eyes, these people were just low-grade food. In an unnoticed corner, black energy grew from several of them, emanating from them and finally converging on Fu Tan!
"Hahahaha!" Fu Tan laughed even louder. He coughed up blood and laughed crazily, muttering, "Not enough! Not enough!"
The few people who were watching coldly began to doubt, thinking that this guy must be crazy. He could still laugh after being beaten like this. They immediately stepped forward in panic and grabbed the person who was whipping him.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's just let him go this time. There's still a long way to go."
"Yeah, if he really died, it would be no fun."
They tried to persuade him earnestly, word by word, simply because they were afraid that if someone died, it would cause real trouble.
Fu Tan stared at their departing backs coldly like a python, as if he could spring onto their necks and bite them at any time.
An Luoyi returned to Chaoyun Palace in the evening. Remembering that she hadn't seen Fu Tan for a long time, she casually asked, "Is Fu Tan doing well these days?"
Immediately, a maid bowed and replied, "Your Highness, Brother Fu Tan has not returned today."
An Luoyi looked at the sky and frowned slightly, "Send someone to look for it."
"Yes." The maid bowed and prepared to leave, but just as she turned around, she exclaimed!
It turned out to be Fu Tan who suddenly appeared like a ghost. He returned covered in dust and dirt, and his clothes were tattered, with large and small blood clots on his body. He looked like a murderous ghost.
"Futan!" An Luoyi walked quickly to his side, "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Anluoyi, Futan's eyes regained some color. He lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "It's okay, sister. It was me who upset my fellow monks and caused the trouble."
"Who is so bold as to do such a cruel thing to his fellow disciples?" An Luoyi looked calm, but he was actually burning with rage inside.
Fu Tan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Sister, don't worry. I'm weak and powerless and I'm just a slave. It's normal for some people to dislike me. I'll just bear it."
Fu Tan cleared himself of all charges with just a few words. His cautiousness made An Luoyi feel extremely guilty. He could not help but blame himself for handling the matter improperly and just throwing Fu Tan away without caring about him.
"How can you belittle yourself like this? I allowed you to be an immortal servant only so that you could stay in the Nine Heavens with a suitable identity. I never treated you as a slave. If you want to leave in the future, you can go freely." An Luoyi said calmly.
Fu Tan said in a hoarse and intermittent voice: "I know... I know my sister didn't mean that, and I didn't want to do that, but I can't resist other people's delusions..."
An Luoyi made up his mind: "Go back and rest first, I will go with you tomorrow."
An Luoyi then instructed the immortal servant, "Prepare hot water for Fu Tan to cleanse her body, and find some medicine for her wounds."
Fu Tan saluted and said, "Thank you, sister." He left surrounded by maids, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he walked into the darkness.
