Chapter 281 "If I had known you were so ungrateful...
Wen Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing the unusualness of this. "Saving people is the most important thing."
No matter whether this young immortal master kidnapped people to make medicine and elixir or to eat their flesh alive, she would make his plan fail.
Turning around and nodding to Taihao, Wen Yu flashed to the door.
The layout of Yuechuyuan was no different from before. Wen Yu looked at the carved door in front of her. Although there were some mottled marks on it, one could still see its former exquisiteness.
This is Song Linsheng's favorite nanmu.
Wen Yu gave up the idea of opening the door with a wave of her sleeves and honestly rang the doorknob.
After a hundred years, this door has become like Song Linsheng back then, unable to withstand being dropped or touched.
"Knock knock—" a sound was heard, and the faint light in the room went out immediately.
The original lights and candlelight, as well as the midnight chats, were now all swallowed up by the endless night, with no more awakenings, and the dim warmth in the house was replaced by the cold white moonlight outside the window.
In the silence, it seemed as if the excitement just now had never existed.
Wen Yu remained silent, hesitating whether to ask or just push the door open and walk in.
Suddenly, a cautious voice came from inside, "Is the little immortal master back?"
Judging from the tone of voice, the person speaking inside the door is an old lady.
"Grandma, it was the young immortal master who asked me to stay here." Wen Yu began to lie without blushing or beating her heart.
Tai Hao's eyebrows remained motionless, but a hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes. He stood quietly beside Wen Yu.
Wen Yu was completely unaware and was only thinking about what was happening in front of her.
According to the old lady's words, the way she used the word "come back" could reveal infinite information to Wen Yu.
At least, she and the others behind her trusted this young immortal master very much.
Wen Yu was calm and composed, without the slightest guilt.
Since this little immortal master occupied Song Linsheng's yard, so what if she borrowed the name of the little immortal master? Back and forth, it was just a draw.
Sure enough, as soon as the people inside heard the words "little immortal master", the silence immediately disappeared and they began to whisper again.
"Squeak!" The door leaf opened halfway.
An old lady stuck her head out and looked at Wen Yu and Tai Hao carefully in the hazy moonlight.
His temples are gray and his face is kind.
Wen Yu had prepared a lot of words, but the moment she saw the old lady, she completely forgot them. A continuous roaring sound suddenly rose in her ears, and she heard herself say in surprise, "Grandma Zhu?"
This Grandma Zhu's pace is actually faster than her and Taihao's...
When she left just now, Grandma Zhu had not yet cleared away the clay pots and soup pots on the stove, but now she arrived at Yuechu Hospital first and seemed to have stayed in the hospital for quite some time.
Strange and weird.
After hearing Wen Yu's words, Granny Zhu, who had been hesitant at first, seemed to relax her guard. She opened the door a little and said to the person behind her, "Hey? Does this girl know me?"
Wen Yu frowned, feeling something was amiss. But before she could react, she heard someone else inside the door say, "Maybe it's a girl from the neighborhood. Come in!"
Before she finished her words, the door leaf was opened completely by Grandma Zhu.
The lights in the room were off and it was a little dark at the moment, but with the moonlight in front of the steps, Wen Yu could still see the situation clearly.
It is exactly the same as what Ah Li said, men, women, young and old, all are included.
A series of simple faces appeared before Wen Yu's eyes, some staring at her and Tai Hao standing outside the door with fear, some helplessness, and some curiosity.
The threshold was like a barrier, separating them inside and outside the house. The darkness inside formed a natural contrast with the moonlight outside the courtyard.
Although they were only separated by a thin line, Wen Yu inexplicably felt that they were very far away.
Needless to say, these are the people who have disappeared in Jiangyang for no reason in the past month...
What on earth was the little immortal master trying to do by locking them up here? He wanted to kill them but he wouldn't do it quickly. He had no other plans but he wouldn't let them go home.
Wen Yu's eyes quickly swept across those faces, and the more he looked, the more uneasy he felt.
There is no Wenbao and Zhao Qiying.
"You, you are also taken in by the little immortal master, right?" Grandma Zhu looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, but she couldn't remember which neighbor's daughter she was.
And the handsome man beside her is really good-looking. She can't remember which boy has such a first-class appearance?
Wen Yu withdrew his gaze and turned back to Granny Zhu in front of him, asking curiously, "Take her in?"
She seemed to have heard something shocking and absurd.
"That's right." Granny Zhu moved aside slightly, making room for the other people in the room. "We are all here to take in the young immortal master. What are your names?"
Wen Yu turned sideways and looked at Tai Hao. Just as she was about to answer, she felt a night breeze blowing past her ears, and the chill went straight to the back of her neck.
"Miss Wen, Mr. Song—"
Wen Yu could see the flickering candlelight behind her in Grandma Zhu's eyes. She immediately turned around, but the scene in front of her made her gaze tighten.
"Didn't I tell you two not to go out at night?"
Granny Zhu held the candlestick in both hands and stood in a very pious posture, with a gentle and harmless smile on her face. Her curved eyebrows and eyes looked like the face of Guanyin or Bodhisattva, who saves people from suffering.
Wen Yu calmly put her hands behind her back, and the Liuyun fan hidden in her sleeves slipped into her palm. She raised her eyes slightly, and her vigilant gaze was firmly fixed on Grandma Zhu.
I just don't know what kind of heart is hidden under this skin.
"How, how could there be two Bamboo Grannies?" People behind him exclaimed.
Granny Zhu was also dumbfounded, not knowing what to do, "This, this..."
Tai Hao's expression was calm and unperturbed. He just took a few steps and stood in front of Wen Yu, protecting her behind him.
Wen Yu tightened the Liuyun fan in her hand, walked past Taihao without showing any sign of weakness, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
She still said the same thing, she would never rely on others for matters related to the Temple of Spring.
For a time, the two sides were in a state of confrontation, with tensions rising and the situation as tense as fire and water.
"What are you so nervous about?" After a sneer, Granny Zhu raised an eyebrow and looked back and forth at Wen Yu and Tai Hao. "You look like you want to eat us."
After she finished speaking, she moved lightly and ghostly, and walked up the stone steps in front of the door very quickly.
No one could see clearly how she moved, but in the blink of an eye she was in front of them. What was even more strange was that the candle in her hand was still burning steadily, without a single shake.
The depth of his cultivation can be seen clearly.
The indescribable strangeness made Wen Yu pay close attention to her words and actions.
Compared with the Grandma Zhu behind her, the one in front of her has clearer eyes and moves faster. It is obvious which one is true and which one is false.
While she was thinking, Granny Zhu had already walked up to Wen Yu and Tai Hao.
"Miss Wen, Mr. Song." Granny Zhu smiled, but she squeezed through the two of them without any courtesy, "Please make way."
The Liuyun fan in Wen Yu's hand was originally ready to be used, but her squeeze made Wen Yu a little confused.
It has no offensive power, it's just an ordinary passage.
Unlike Wen Yu, Tai Hao seemed to have seen through Zhu Po Po's intention long ago. He dodged to the side before she made a move, not wanting to touch her even with a piece of his clothes.
Wen Yu raised her eyes and glanced at Tai Hao, then looked at the real and fake Bamboo Grandma.
I saw Grandma Zhu standing by the threshold without entering. She handed the candlestick in her hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid. Go to the inner room and light the lamp."
"You, I..." Granny Zhu inside the door was obviously at a loss, unable to even utter a complete sentence. Facing the candlestick right in front of her, she didn't know whether to reach out or withdraw her hand.
Grandma Zhu naturally knew what she was worried about, and she waited calmly with the candlestick in her hand.
Suddenly, a light golden smoke flashed by.
Wen Yu flicked her sleeves to block it, breaking the barrier that obscured people's vision.
The slightly hunched figure of the old woman instantly grew into a tall and handsome adult man. Wrapped in a purple and gold robe, he looked even more majestic, noble and heroic.
The strange thing was that, except for Wen Yu, no one present seemed surprised at all.
Wen Yu narrowed his eyes, unable to figure out the reason.
The Emperor would have been fine, just assume he was used to such scenes. Besides, given his personality, he probably wouldn't even raise his eyes even if a mountain collapsed in front of him.
But these people are just mortals, how could they...
"It's the little immortal master!" Someone in the crowd shouted, seeming very excited.
Granny Zhu inside the door obviously relaxed, hurried forward a few steps, and took the candlestick from the little immortal master with both hands.
"Go ahead." The young immortal gave Granny Bamboo a soothing look, raised his eyebrows, and motioned her to step back. "It's getting late, and the dew is heavy. Don't move around."
Granny Zhu took a few steps back as instructed, and after looking at Wen Yu and Tai Hao with worry, she turned around to light the candle. She actually listened to the little immortal master's words and closed the door, isolating Wen Yu and the others outside.
Looking at the purple-gold figure in front of her, Wen Yu frowned, and various emotions such as vigilance and precautions surged into her mind at once, prompting her to charge the Liuyun fan in her hand with full power.
"Little...Master?" Wen Yu called out half hesitantly and half tentatively.
The man in the purple-gold robe turned around and looked at her with a smile, "Miss Wen, why are you being so polite to me?"
As he turned around, the face that was originally turned away gradually appeared in front of Wen Yu.
A pair of sharp eyes were placed under an even sharper brow. Even when he was smiling, he made people feel as if a thorn was stabbed in the back and the whole body was cold.
Wen Yu looked at the person in front of him. His whole demeanor was very eye-catching. The noble and reserved purple-gold color made him look flamboyant and unrestrained, not at all low-key.
"It's better to call me Grandma Zhu." The little immortal master approached Wen Yu step by step, his voice threatening and bewitching, "Miss Wen, what do you say?"
Looking at the tightly closed door behind him, and then turning her gaze back to him, Wen Yu couldn't tell for a moment who was the host and who was the guest in this Xianchun cottage?
"Little Immortal Master, you're joking. How dare Wen Yu approach you?" Wen Yu replied calmly, then immediately began to interrogate him, "I just don't know where the Immortal Master's cave is, and who his master is."
If he couldn't even answer such a simple question, then she didn't know what kind of little immortal master the person in front of her was.
The provocation in Wen Yu's words was obvious, and no matter how perfect the smile on the Immortal Master's face was, a crack appeared on it.
"You little girl." The little immortal master narrowed his eyes, as if sizing up Wen Yu. "I have met you once before, so I am kind enough to take you in to shelter from the storm."
He walked slowly forward and emerged from the shadow under the eaves. The cold white moonlight cast a chill over him, making him look sharp.
"If I had known you were so ungrateful, I should have put you—"
His gaze turned to Tai Hao who was standing beside Wen Yu. He seemed to have discovered something interesting and smiled, "I'll throw you and your jade-faced young master into the mountains to feed the monsters!"
Wen Yu's eyes narrowed, and he glared back without showing any weakness. His words clearly meant to tease her and the Emperor, "Monster? I think you look like a monster! Watch out!"
Besides, when had she ever met this little immortal master? This was completely fabricated and absurd!
