It took more than a month for Yunye to leave.
Earlier, he would send a letter to Bai Tu from time to time, explaining his recent situation and Mo Yuan's current situation. But gradually, the interval between letters became longer and longer, and more than five days had passed since the last letter.
Bai Tu sat in front of the table, looking at the calm sky, feeling a little uneasy.
He had expected the civil strife in Moyuan. From the death of the previous Demon Lord to the time when Moyuan was sealed for more than ten years, the interior of Moyuan was divided into fragments, each working in its own way, and it was not easy to unify.
When Yunye returns this time, he will inevitably face many crises.
Bai Tu looked down at the book in front of him, but couldn't read a single word.
He is too worried.
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a small body ran in from outside: "Daddy!"
These days, the little gray ball has grown a lot taller, compared with the folk children, it looks like it is four or five years old.
He ran to Bai Tu's side, lifted the thing in his hand, and showed it to him.
It was a fiery red ball of hair, thin and small, just enough to be lifted by the little gray ball with two hands. There are a lot of dirt and grass leaves in the beautifully colored fluff, which looks dirty and quite embarrassing.
It's a young red fox.
The red fox was held in the hands of the little gray ball, shivering in fear of the cold or fear, whimpering softly.
Bai Tu: "..."
To be able to scare a fox like this, this little guy really isn't a decent rabbit.
Bai Tu asked: "Why did you catch this fox?"
The little gray ball looked expectant: "It can be baked and eaten!"
As if understanding what he said, the little fox trembled violently, his limbs uneasily pushed back the little gray ball's hand, but couldn't break free.
Bai Tu was silent for a moment, thought for a while, and persuaded: "Look how pitiful this little fox is. Do you really want to eat him?"
The little gray ball looked down at the little red fox in his hand. The little red fox had been frightened into a trance, and obediently lay on his palm, not daring to move. Sample.
The little gray ball hesitated: "It's so pitiful, then...then I won't eat it."
Bai Tu said: "Where did you find the little gray ball?"
The little gray ball said: "In the woods outside, I was playing on the mountain just now, and I picked it up in the grass."
"show me."
Bai Tu took the little red fox, put it on the table, and slowly touched his body with his fingers. When it touched the hind legs, the little red fox let out a painful "ow" and crawled forward with both front paws.
Bai Tu understood: "Its hind legs are injured."
"It's so pitiful." The little gray ball hurried up to look, and indeed saw a blood-stained mark on the red fox's hind leg. Little Gray Ball hurriedly tugged on Bai Tu's sleeve: "Daddy, save him, please."
Bai Tu asked: "I won't eat it now."
Little Gray Ball shook his head: "I won't eat."
"That's right." Bai Tu stroked his hair, "Daddy understands that you have the wildness of a wolf in your blood, and you are born to want to prey on animals that are weaker than yourself. The weak eat the strong. You are the same as your father. But you are not Wild beasts in the forest rely on predation to survive. All creatures in the mountains and forests are equal, and you should not deprive them of their right to survive. The stronger you are, the more you must protect the weak."
The little gray ball looked at Bai Tu with half understanding.
Bai Tu said: "It's okay if you don't understand now, you will understand one day."
Bai Tu's fingers brushed lightly over the red fox's hind leg, a little spiritual power soaked into it, the bloodstain on the red fox's hind leg disappeared, and the injury was also healed.
Bai Tu: "Alright, go feed it something to eat, and send it back to the place where you picked it up later, okay?"
Little Gray Ball: "Aww!"
The little gray ball went out the door with the red fox in its arms.
Bai Tu simply cleaned up the table and case. When he went out, he saw the little gray ball squatting in the yard, whispering something to it. The red fox looked like it hadn't eaten for a few days. It lowered its head and ate the fruits and vegetables that the little gray ball had found for it.
Seeing Bai Tu approaching, Little Gray Ball raised his head and asked, "Daddy, I like little fox so much, can we raise it?"
The red fox choked on the food and coughed violently.
Bai Tu was silent, and persuaded again: "But the little fox doesn't want to stay here. Think about it, it was free at first, but you suddenly caught it and fed it, so it can never return to the forest. Will you be happy?"
The little gray ball said distressedly: "It shouldn't be happy, so I won't keep it anymore."
The two sent the red fox to the place where the little gray ball picked it up and set it free. The red fox was free again, took two steps forward, and looked back at the father and son.
The little gray ball waved at it: "Goodbye, little fox, come to play with me someday!"
The red fox trembled and shook his head again and again.
Bai Tu said: "Your spiritual consciousness has been opened, practice hard, don't go astray, and do harm to the common people."
The red fox looked deeply at Bai Tu, not knowing whether it understood or not, it quickly turned around and ran into the woods, where it disappeared.
The little gray ball asked: "That is to say, can the little fox also become a human in the future?"
"It's hard to say now, let's see its chance." Bai Tu said, "Let's go, go home."
The two were about to walk back when Bai Tu suddenly felt something and turned to look deep into the woods.
After a while, a familiar figure in the forest came towards them.
Bai Tu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously clenched Little Gray Ball's hand, and nodded to him: "Ling Weijun."
Ling Weijun was still dressed as he was when he was in Tianyanzong, he walked towards Baitu unhurriedly, and bowed to him: "Xianjun Zhaohua."
Little Gray Ball frowned, and tugged at Bai Tu's sleeve: "Daddy, he..."
Bai Tu silently shook his head at him.
Hearing the voice of the little gray ball, Ling Weijun cast his eyes on him, but just glanced at him lightly, and didn't say much.
Bai Tu said lightly: "Let's talk about it when we go back."
Bai Tu led Ling Weijun back to the courtyard.
The two sat down in the main room, Bai Tu held the little gray ball in his arms, and asked lightly, "What is Ling Wei-jun's coming here?"
Ling Weijun: "This... Zhengdao recently received news that Moyuan is in a civil war, so I came here to ask Xianzun a thing or two."
"That's true." Bai Tu said, "Yunye has already returned to Moyuan to deal with this matter first, so Ling Wei-jun doesn't have to worry."
Ling Weijun looked slightly hesitant, and said again: "Have you ever thought about what to do if Yunye is defeated?"
"He will not."
"Xianzun, this..."
Bai Tu interrupted: "Even if he is really defeated, with me around, the demons will not be able to take half a step into the Central Plains, Ling Wei-jun can rest assured."
Ling Weijun drank his tea with his head down, and said no more.
The room was silent for a moment, but the little gray ball seemed to have sensed something, and moved around in his arms uneasily, trying to say something while pulling at Bai Tu's sleeve.
Bai Tu touched his head, and said in a low voice: "If the little gray ball is tired, first change back to its original shape and sleep for a while, Daddy will hug you."
The little gray ball gave a soft "owwow" sound, and turned back into a ball of gray fur. With its two front paws, it pulled at Bai Tu's skirt, and stuffed itself into his clothes.
Ling Weijun said: "Since this is the case, the junior will not bother you, and leave first."
Bai Tu hid the little gray ball in his clothes, and stood up slowly: "Mr. Ling Wei came from a long way, why are you leaving in such a hurry, don't stay for a while longer. And the group of distinguished guests you brought outside the door..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a feathered arrow shot into the room from the window and stabbed straight at Bai Tu. The feather arrow stopped suddenly when it was only half an inch away from Bai Tu, turned around and pierced straight into Ling Weijun who was standing aside.
Ling Weijun swayed, dodging the stabbing feather arrow, and a black mist appeared on his side.
Seeing that his figure was about to disappear into the black mist, Ling Weijun's expression froze, he lowered his head, and a white fairy sword just pierced into his belly.
With the fairy sword drawn out, Ling Weijun's body trembled, and he fell to the ground, turning into another strange appearance.
Bai Tu held the sword in his right hand, and with his left hand, he stuffed back the small gray ball that curiously poked his head out of his clothes, and his figure turned into a sword shadow, flying up into the air.
As soon as he disappeared into the house, dozens of feathered arrows pierced the house quickly in all directions, leaving only a mess in the house.
Bai Tu looked down from a high position, and there were streaks of black mist surrounding the courtyard. After realizing that Bai Tu had escaped, they all jumped into the air to chase after him.
"rise."
Bai Tu spoke softly, starting from the courtyard, a bloody formation immediately appeared on the ground.
Strands of red threads swept into the air, interweaving into a net, gathering all the chasing black mist in it.
Bai Tu raised the sword and swung it away, the silver-like light of the sword fell on the formation, and there was only a loud bang, and the strong sword intent surged away, setting off billowing dust waves.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and there was no longer any trace of black mist under the feet.
Bai Tu put away the sword, and a little gray ball popped out of Bai Tu's arms, and said blankly, "Daddy, you blew up the house."
Bai Tu: "It's okay, it can be fixed."
Little Gray Ball: "What should I do before it can be repaired?"
Bai Tu was about to answer when he suddenly sensed something.
With a flash of his figure, he turned into a sword shadow and landed on the ground, blocking the black mist that was about to leave. The fairy sword in his hand was unsheathed and pointed at the black mist impartially.
A human figure appeared in the black mist, and the fairy sword happened to land on his neck.
The man's face was gloomy, with magic patterns painted on his face: "As expected of Immortal Zhaohua, we underestimated you."
Bai Tu asked, "Who are you?"
"No comment."
Bai Tu said: "Wu Qi sent you here? How could he send someone to leave the Demon Abyss?"
"I've said it all, I have nothing to say."
"Forget it." Bai Tu shook his head, and with a light swipe of his sword hand, the blade turned and instantly pierced the man's throat.
The man in black collapsed to the ground, Bai Tu put away his sword, turned and left.
The little gray rabbit got out of his arms: "Daddy, where are we going now?"
Bai Tu asked: "Do you miss your father, shall we go and find him?"
The little gray ball blinked and smiled: "It's because you miss Dad."
Bai Tu raised his hand and tapped the little gray ball on the head lightly, and asked, "You're a big kid, are you going or not?"
The little gray ball dropped its ears to cover its head, and said pitifully, "Go..."
"Okay." Bai Tu stuffed the little gray rabbit back into his arms, and said in a low voice, "But before we go, Daddy still has some things to do."
After Bai Tu finished speaking, he once again turned into a sword shadow and soared into the sky.
The direction he went was Tian Yanzong.
