Chapter 314: First Release "I'm afraid this year will be restless..."
Wen Liang was stunned when he saw this, and his icy expression couldn't help but relax for a moment. He obviously knew that this was an excuse given by Wen Yu.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Everything is fine." He then seemed to think of something. "Originally, the two priests, Danqing and Guanlan, were traveling with me, but something happened along the way, and they changed their route and left."
Wen Liangjian, who was still in thought, did not notice Wen Yu's sudden change in expression.
But Chen Bi, who was standing by, noticed it in time and immediately asked, "Aunt?"
If Dan Qing and Guan Lan had nothing important to do, they would not have left Wen Liangjian alone to come here as a mortal. What's more, the two of them would fight each other as soon as they met, so how could they travel together?
"How long have I slept?" Wen Yu held his forehead with one hand, trying hard to get rid of the drowsiness in his head.
Chen Bi's face was solemn, but he could only tell the truth, "It's been more than half a month..."
In recent days, Bohui and Yuzong have been making meals and soups and heating and cooling them over and over again. She is almost used to this situation today.
"What?" Wen Yu froze, clearly in disbelief. "Where's Yu Chang?"
Glancing over the plates and cups on the table, Wen Yu began to understand why Wen Liangjian and Pang Yu appeared so quickly. They must have done these things countless times.
It turned out that she had been lying unconscious for so long.
"Yu Chang, Master Yu Chang, and the Hidden Spirit God brought my aunt back and left without telling us where they were going."
Being a descendant of a noble family, he always carried himself with dignity and bearing, but at this moment an expression of uncertainty appeared on his face.
Although Wen Yu was surprised that Yu Chang left without saying goodbye, he could only ask, "What about the Hidden Spirit God?"
"Lord Hidden Spirit...is also missing." Chen Bi felt regretful. She should have stopped those people, but not only could she not stop them, but she didn't even know where they went.
Danqing and Guanlan changed their route midway, while Yuchang and Zangling left at the same time.
Wen Yu closed her eyes, feeling a dull pain in her temples. "Master Fengdu..."
There won't be no one left.
"What did aunt say?" Chen Bi looked puzzled, as if she didn't hear clearly.
But it was her words that interrupted Wen Yu's thoughts.
Tai'ou is affected by the earth veins and cannot move rashly, so Fengdu should still be in Gouwu Mountain. He will not leave until this matter is resolved.
"..." Wen Yu frowned and said nothing, shaking his head slightly.
The room fell silent for a moment, with a sense of decline and uncertainty about the future.
The people present looked at each other for several times, all of them at a loss as to what to do.
No matter how noble her status is, how talented Bo Hui is, and how prominent Yu Zong's family background is, they cannot solve the current difficulties of her aunt.
Chen Bi's face became increasingly worse, and the high-spirited mood he had when the reconstruction of Muyao Town was successfully implemented a few days ago was no longer there.
Pang Yu had been unable to get a word in just now, so when he finally got a chance, he quickly changed the subject, "Your Highness, your aunt has been very worried and concerned. Why not give her some medicine first?"
"I was negligent." Chen Bi blamed herself. She raised her hand to take the medicine from Pang Yu and carefully held it in front of Wen Yu. "Aunt?"
But Wen Yu at the moment wouldn't even look at the elixir, let alone the decoction.
"Bishan, you don't have to work hard for me." Wen Yu raised his sleeves to stop Chen Bi's movements and gave them a reassuring look.
Then she looked around and looked out through the half-open window. In the distance, she could see the smoke and dust raised by the construction work. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and wisps of golden light were dancing with it.
Towards this end, there are fewer people and it is quieter.
And in the inner room, there was no one else except her, Shen Bi, Wen Liangjian and Pang Yu.
No, there should be one more person.
Wen Yu's eyes flickered, and as a little light danced in them, he shouted fiercely, "Ming Kun!"
The few people who were unaware of what was happening in the mountains had no time to react before they saw a lightsaber coming and landing steadily in Wen Yu's palm.
"What? You don't dare to show up?" Although Wen Yu was somewhat happy as expected, she was more annoyed that he was hiding from people.
After saying that, she threw the sword away.
Ming Kun transformed into a human form before landing, but his words were not as flamboyant as when he was in Gouwu Mountain. "Yes..."
"If I don't call you, are you going to stay here and not come out?" Wen Yu's words were filled with anger, but not overly harsh.
She has not forgotten Ming Kun's origins. Although it was a hairpin given to her by Lord Mu, it was also a magical weapon of the goddess Yuan Que.
Now that the truth is still unclear, Mingkun is probably just following her temporarily.
"It doesn't matter whether I show up or not, as long as you're okay..." Ming Kun's voice became weaker and weaker, and in the end his voice almost fell to the floor.
Wen Yu didn't pursue the matter any further. She had no right to do so. "What happened at Gouwu Mountain after I fell unconscious? Where are Yu Chang and the others?"
After asking a series of questions, she was obviously in a bad mood.
Chen Bi quickly put down his bowl and cup and patted Wen Yu's back to help her calm down.
Although this may not be effective for my aunt, it is at least a comfort.
"..." Wen Yu was silent for a moment, and he actually calmed down.
Song Linsheng used to comfort her in the same way before, telling her not to be impatient.
She took a deep breath and looked up at Ming Kun again, "Hmm?"
"Yu Chang asked me to stay and look after you, and Zang Ling just told you not to worry. Neither of them revealed their whereabouts." Ming Kun glanced at Wen Yu's face and walked up to her bravely. "The Lord of Ghost City and the King of Nether City are still in the mountains."
"Why don't you stop them?" Wen Yu had some guesses in her mind, but she couldn't understand why they would leave her alone.
Ming Kun twirled his fingertips, drawing a golden light from his forehead and then transmitting it into Wen Yu's body. "I knew you were going to ask this, so I didn't dare to show myself."
Because he didn't know how to answer.
"You--" Wen Yu was speechless for a moment and almost choked to death.
There was a series of crisp tinkling sounds, and Jing Wenliang took the cup, Pang Yu added water, and Chen Bi placed the teacup in front of Wen Yu.
"Aunt, please have some tea." Chen Bi advised, while being amazed at the rare tacit cooperation between Bo Hui and Yu Zong.
Wen Yu waved her hands, having no time to care about anything else, her eyes fixed on Ming Kun.
"I haven't asked you yet, how can your cultivation be as shallow as the water in the pond." Ming Kun withdrew his hand, his face not looking good.
Wen Yu was stunned and her arrogance weakened a little. This time it was her turn not to dare to answer.
In fact, from the time she entered Zhuoying Palace to the end at Gouwu Mountain, she had felt her internal energy disordered several times, but she had never taken it to heart.
But now it seems that at least these two faintings were not accidental.
"Are you serious?" Chen Bi stood up and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.
Even though she was as calm as she was, and had experienced many battles on the battlefield and in the court, she still couldn't hide her emotions when she heard such news.
The tea flowed down her clothes, leaving stains on her crimson robe.
"Bishan..." Wen Liangjian was also extremely surprised. He first looked at Chen Bi's situation and then turned back to look at Wen Yu, "Aunt..."
Pang Yu pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, leaned over and touched the already soaked hem of Chen Bi's clothes, "Your Highness!"
In the midst of a flurry of activity, Ming Kun did not answer Chen Bi's question. Instead, he stared at Wen Yu, who seemed to be in a trance, without blinking.
Sometimes silence is more like a question than speaking.
"Don't dwell on the past, but look forward to the future." Wen Yu turned away, not directly answering Ming Kun. "Legend has it that there's an island called Tanming Island in the far east, where lives a great demon called Kui Xuan."
In fact, she had only seen these things in her master's notes and had never personally explored their authenticity.
But now that I say it, there is a certainty that it is inevitable.
"You want the zither's keel?" Ming Kun was no naive person and immediately realized, "You want to use the zither's keel to save King Youdu."
His face was solemn, and beneath his calmness there seemed to be an inexplicable layer of anger.
"Yes, so I have to go to Tanming Island." Wen Yu's eyes were determined. At the moment, only Ming Kun could help her. "In Gouwu Mountain, you said you would help me. I wonder..."
"Is this what you mean by 'you have a solution'?" Ming Kun lost his earlier weakness and became increasingly furious. "Do you think Tan Ming Island is Gouwu Mountain? Do you think Kui Xuan is one of those roe owls on Gouwu Mountain?"
Since the beginning of the world, Tanming Island has been the habitat of the dragon clan.
This dragon is not the dragon that protects and saves the world as people imagine, but an ancient monster that is both good and evil and difficult to distinguish.
As the best among them, Kui Xuan lives in seclusion and never reveals his true appearance to the public, but the terrifying rumors about him have never stopped.
I heard that the bones of other monsters he had eaten could be piled up to circle Tanming Island countless times. He also forced people to sacrifice young boys and girls from time to time to change his taste. He was truly an unforgivable monster.
Ming Kun paced back and forth in the small room with his hands on his hips, his mouth busy, "With your current magical power, I'm afraid you can't even touch the reefs near Tanming Island."
His appearance made Wen Yu inappropriately think of Dan Qing, whom she hadn't seen for many days.
If Mingkun and Danqing were to quarrel, I wonder who would come out on top?
She had also secretly wondered how it was possible for someone as cold and aloof as Taihao to have a companion beast as noisy as Danqing.
Now it's her turn—
No, it’s Yuan Que’s turn.
Although she didn't know the goddess's character, she thought she was a person with great love and generosity. How could she have such an impulsive natal sword like Ming Kun?
He is not impulsive, but pure and kind, without any pretense.
Wen Yu shook her head, almost laughing at her own fickleness. "That's why I need your help."
There is no need to say much about the sincerity in her words, but no one knows what Ming Kun's response will be.
Chen Bi frowned, looked at Wen Yu and then at Ming Kun, his heart always hanging in the air and unsure what to do.
"Help you die?" Ming Kun was anxious and furious, but he changed his tone in a way that even Wen Yu didn't expect, "I am willing..."
In Gouwu Mountain, he once said that he would help Wen Yu. He also said that as long as Wen Yu wanted to do it, there was no need to ask the reason.
Although I was angry that she was going to a dangerous place like Tanming Island, but——
But this is Wen Yu.
"You..." Wen Yu was also shocked by his sudden change of attitude, and the advice she had prepared was completely useless.
"Aunt, Aunt, you—" Chen Bi opened her mouth, but could not utter a word to persuade her to stay, "You have to be careful."
Although she was a mortal, she could not go with her aunt, nor could she help her aunt much.
But she will stay here, and when her aunt returns, she will definitely see a Muyao Town full of vitality and kites flying all over the sky.
Under Shen Bi's eyes full of enthusiasm, Wen Yu was silent for a moment, "Bishan, after you finish your business here, go back to Jiangyang with Bo Hui. Everyone is waiting for you."
Even with Mingkun by her side, she couldn't guarantee that the trip would go smoothly.
She just wanted to increase her one or two hopes so that she and Mingkun could get five or six points.
The unknown ending, the uncertain return date, and the endless waiting are the most tiring.
She had waited, and she understood.
So how could he bear to let Bishan and the others wait in vain?
"Everyone is waiting for Auntie." Chen Bi stubbornly refused to agree, and instead continued, "Waiting for Auntie to celebrate the New Year together."
Wen Liangjian's restrained voice couldn't help but tremble, "At Qipan Pass, my aunt promised."
"Xiao Zhuo, Ah Heng and the others are still waiting for their aunt." Chen Bi's eyes flashed, and were moist.
"Aunt, please take care of yourself on this trip." Although Pang Yu didn't know what had happened before, when he received the news in Baishui and rushed to see the prince that day, he could feel her extreme anxiety.
Now, I am afraid that the situation will become more serious.
"As long as I'm here, I will bring her back safely." Ming Kun straightened his expression and promised solemnly.
Although Kui Xuan is difficult to deal with, he is not a character that cannot be dealt with.
So what if he is an ancient monster? He is still the Phoenix of Nirvana and the divine sword of the world!
Wen Yu pursed her lips and smiled faintly. For some reason, she felt that Ming Kun would do what he said. It was clearly their first meeting in Gouwu Mountain, but he could still develop such trust in him.
"I will." Wen Yu squeezed Chen Bi's palm.
What she hadn't been able to do with Song Linsheng that day, she was determined to do now with the younger generation of Jiangyang Mansion.
In Shen Bi's surprised and delighted eyes, Wen Yu heard herself say, "Let's celebrate the New Year together."
The tense and sad atmosphere in the room finally eased a little, but a sound came from the window in the distance.
"I'm afraid this year will be a restless one—"
