Although this incident was beyond everyone's expectations from beginning to end, the result... seemed to be not much different from what was expected. The Tianhai Gang finally clashed with the Yao Gang, and the grudge between the two sides could not be resolved in a short time.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Youxiang Restaurant.
"Master Qin, I am so terrified that I have disturbed your elegance."
The shopkeeper lowered his head and apologized to the Zither Witch, but there was no sign of panic in his expression, only a bit of confusion.
"Owner of the restaurant, you are already an old man in the temple. You know that these little disturbances are nothing." The Zither Demon Girl said calmly, "If they were really a disturbance, they wouldn't be able to leave."
"Of course." The shopkeeper quickly responded, "But today you..."
"Is it because of my action?"
The Witch of the Zither opened her eyes slightly, and a terrifying white color peeked out from the tiny gaps.
The shopkeeper remained silent.
"Why should I explain my actions to others?" The Zither Demon Girl closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Or, the lineage of the evil master does not want to continue to be the shopkeeper of this restaurant, that's also possible."
"It's my fault for being so abrupt, but the matter is of great importance," the shopkeeper said in a low voice, "You are representing the Saint, and taking action at this time..."
Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, the Zither Witch opened her eyes and stared directly at the shopkeeper with her pure white eyes.
In an instant, the shopkeeper felt as if the sky had fallen.
His expression finally showed panic, and his heart almost stopped beating at this moment, until the Witch of the Zither closed her eyes again, his fear was relieved.
The shopkeeper quickly lowered his head again and stepped back respectfully, saying,
"I know I was wrong. I will apologize to you another day. I hope you will forgive me..."
After he finished speaking, the shopkeeper left the room in a hurry.
The Zither Witch was silent for a long time, then she said softly,
"trouble."
Chapter 96: Ah Chou...
This was just a few syllables. If the Witch of the Zither really took action... I'm afraid it would cause even more trouble.
only...
Thinking of what happened today, a complicated look appeared on the face of the Witch of the Zither.
She took out another gray, withered hair, felt the scent in it, compared it with the previous glimpse, and sighed.
"What is the relationship between this Juexiao Sect disciple and Her Highness the Saint's inheritance, the Taiyin Luohuang Sutra..."
Very similar, yet very different.
In any case, let’s tell the Saint about this first.
The Zither Witch calmed down and set up a forbidden barrier around her to block out all prying eyes from the outside world.
With her strength, even the mysterious dark pupils of the Shangguan family cannot be seen through, unless the cultivation level reaches Nascent Soul or above.
Finally, the Witch of the Zither took out a broken dagger - this was a token of Her Highness the Saint, and no one knew why she would choose such a strange item as a token.
After being injected with spiritual power, the broken dagger transformed into a layer of light curtain.
After a moment, a petite and beautiful figure appeared in the light curtain, with a thick expression of indifference on her little face, like ice that could not be melted for ten thousand years.
This is the current Saint of the Yinling Temple, whose status is second only to the Holy Lord, and she is the first heir to the Lord of All Veins.
—Su Yiyao.
"What's the matter, Sister Qin?"
Su Yiyao said calmly, with her usual indifferent expression, and there was no color in her cold eyes.
She was exactly the same as when the Witch of Qin first saw her.
This Saint Lady never seems to have any emotions...
No one can see what she likes, dislikes, wants, and doesn't want.
It seems that he has no desires or requests, but there is an inexplicable persistence.
Because of this, even the method to please her is unknown, and the unpredictable Saint Lady has gradually been spread as an unforgivable cruel girl.
For example, regarding the lineage of the Holy Son that was slaughtered before, Su Yiyao actually only killed a few people who wanted to do something bad to her, including the Holy Son.
The other descendants of the Holy Son who were slaughtered were all killed by the Holy Son's enemies in the name of her.
Knowing all this, the Demon Girl of the Qin was very clear that Her Highness the Saint was completely different from the rumors. She just chose to close her heart.
The Qin Witch sighed, took out the gray hair and said,
"Your Highness, the one you asked me to find before..."
"Any news?"
Before the Zither Witch could finish her words, the Saint's anxious voice was heard from the light curtain.
Upon hearing this, the Zither Witch looked up at the light curtain, her expression suddenly stunned.
Oh my god, what did she see...
The saint, who was always cold and indifferent to everything, showed an anxious expression after hearing the news that she had not even said half of.
As the thousand-year-old ice melted, a glimmer of light seemed to emerge from deep in his eyes.
“Um… sort of,” Zither Demon Girl hesitated for a moment, “He is a disciple of Juexiao Sect, and his cultivation is around Xiantian.
"There is still the aura of the Juexiao Peaks on his body. He must have left the Juexiao Sect not long ago. You must have seen him in the Juexiao Sect a few days ago, right?"
"Xiantian disciple? I... I don't think I saw it. Did I miss it..."
Su Yiyao's nervous expression was like an ant on a hot pan. She finally looked somewhat consistent with her appearance. This was the Saint Lady that the Witch of Qin had never seen before.
It seems that this person is indeed very important to Her Highness the Saint...
The Zither Witch felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
She finally understood what the selfless Saint was obsessed with.
This is a good thing.
But... it's also a bad thing.
Once you have desire, you have the handle to control it, which is a good thing for some people.
But for the saint, it is a bad thing.
The Witch of the Qin hesitated, but she rarely hesitated like this.
"Where is she now?"
Su Yiyao asked anxiously.
Looking at Su Yiyao with a gleam in her eyes, the Witch of Qin felt a little strange in a trance.
"Your Highness, calm down first." The Zither Witch said, "She... has already left. She should be heading towards the Demon Abyss. I don't know where she went."
Can’t say, at least not now.
Revealing the existence of this girl now would not be a good thing for the Saint, for this girl, or even for the Yinling Temple.
"I'll go find her."
Su Yiyao said this, and wanted to close the light curtain immediately after she finished speaking.
"Wait a minute, Your Highness the Saint," the Zither Witch whispered, "What do you think you can do after you find her?"
"Being with her, I came out just to find her."
Su Yiyao's eyes were filled with determination.
Everything she did was to find Achou, whether it was leaving the sea of blood or joining the Yinling Temple to become a saint, it was all for the purpose of finding Achou.
Although everyone told her that this was someone impossible to find.
only...
Achou's last smile before the swamp was forever engraved in her heart and could never be forgotten.
Su Yiyao couldn't imagine what it would be like to never see Ah Chou again. Every day she spent in the sea of blood was like spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The endless torment she endured made Feng Zun finally decide to let her go.
Now... there is finally a glimmer of hope, even if it is only a slim one, even if it is just a possibility.
"But by doing this, Her Highness the Saint, you may be harming her." The Zither Demon Girl said lightly.
Su Yiyao's expression froze instantly.
"Why?"
"Although I don't know what kind of existence the person you are looking for is to you," the Witch of the Qin continued, "but I guess she is very important, so important that you are willing to sacrifice your life for her."
Su Yiyao's expression gradually relaxed, and finally she nodded solemnly and humbly.
After hearing what the Zither Demon Girl said, Su Yiyao already knew... why the protector would stop her from looking for Ah Chou.
She is the Holy Maiden of the Yinling Temple. Countless people are watching her and want to control her.
But no one knows what she wants. People who have no desires are the most terrifying because they cannot be used by anyone.
What would happen if the existence of Achou was exposed and everyone knew that such a girl was more important to the saint than her own life
—Controlling this girl is equivalent to controlling Her Highness the Saint who is second only to the emperor.
Use Achou's life to threaten her, or persuade Achou to join one side so that the saint has to make a choice... and so on.
There will be many ways.
Without exception, these things are harmful to Achou.
Su Yiyao doesn't care about herself, but she cares about Achou.
"I hope Her Highness will think twice before acting. No matter what, do not expose her existence." Seeing Su Yiyao fall silent, the Zither Demon lowered her head and said, "If you make any decision in the future, just tell me."
"Well, thank you Sister Qin."
Su Yiyao nodded, the anxiety on her face finally disappeared, and she put on the mask of indifference again.
But the difference is that there is finally some color in her eyes, no longer dull and gloomy.
... ...
After the light curtain was turned off, the restrictions all around were also lifted.
With Su Yiyao's current level of cultivation, she is unable to construct any restrictions to intercept the Nascent Soul, so these restrictions were all passed on by the Demon Lady Qin through tokens.
After finishing the call with the protector, Su Yiyao's heart could not calm down for a long time.
She looked in the mirror, at her face, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Is Ah Chou reincarnated? I wonder if he still recognizes me..."
She stared at her delicate and beautiful face in the mirror and suddenly frowned slightly.
"No, that's not right. I shouldn't be like this in the way Ah Chou saw me before..."
She looked around but couldn't find it, so she took out a spirit stone and squeezed it gently.
This high-quality spirit stone, which was worth at least two Xuan-grade Qi Condensing Pills, instantly turned into ashes, and the rich spiritual energy dissipated.
But Su Yiyao ignored the dissipated spiritual energy and carefully held the remaining debris and dust.
Then he suddenly lowered his head, and his little face was buried directly in the debris and dust.
When I looked up again, the little face in the mirror was gray.
Same as before.
Su Yiyao suddenly started to smile foolishly, and tears started to fall as she smiled.
"Ah Chou..."
"Don't lie to me this time..."
"Okay?"
She lowered her face and closed her eyes.
