Not long after, Su Zimo and Liu Ping arrived in front of Yang Ruoxu's cave.
Not far away, a red light came rushing towards her, but it was Princess Chihong.
"Zimo, I heard that you were released from seclusion, so I came directly here. You are indeed here." Princess Chihong came up and said.
Su Zimo felt heavy and just nodded slightly as a greeting.
The three of them turned their heads and looked at the cave not far away.
In just a few days, this cave became a bit dilapidated, deserted, empty, and there were no immortal servants or Taoists waiting nearby.
The nearby spiritual garden medicine garden was trampled into a mess by some spiritual beasts and immortal pets, and no one took care of it.
You know, inner disciples can choose a hundred immortal servants and Taoists to help them deal with some chores and trivial matters.
But Su Zimo didn't see any Taoist boy from Yang Ruoxu along the way.
Su Zimo pushed open the door and entered.
As soon as I entered the cave, I smelled a strong smell of medicine, mixed with a hint of blood.
The cave was dark, and no one even lit candles.
Su Zimo's face became more and more gloomy as he walked forward.
"Is someone coming?"
At this moment, a question came from the front, with a weak breath.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another violent cough.
"Sir, don't get up, I'll go take a look."
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of scrambling.
After a while, a Taoist boy ran out from the front. His hair was unkempt, his body was covered in blood, he looked tired, and he had not slept for a few days.
"You are… "
The Taoist boy spoke.
"I'm Su Zimo, come to see Senior Brother Yang."
Su Zimo said in a deep voice.
"ah!"
Daotong was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
He seemed to have heard of the name Su Zimo, and he quickly bowed to Su Zimo and the others and said, "I pay my respects to the three immortals. Please come with me."
Taoist boys are not considered academy disciples, they are just immortal servants. When they see academy disciples, they must respectfully address them as "immortal".
Su Zimo and the others followed the Taoist boy and walked more than ten feet away. They saw a jade bed in front of them, with a man lying on it. His face was yellow and his breath was weak. He was Yang Ruoxu.
"Sir, someone is here to see you!"
The Taoist boy ran to Yang Ruoxu's bed, knelt down, and called out softly, his voice choked with sobs.
In these days, except Su Zimo and the others, no one else has come to see Yang Ruoxu, even if they are pretending.
Therefore, when Tao Tong said these words, he felt a burst of sadness.
"I heard."
Yang Ruoxu smiled and said, "Help me up."
The Taoist boy stood up, supported Yang Ruoxu, half sat up, and leaned on the head of the bed.
"Where are the other immortal servants?"
Su Zimo had a sullen face, frowned and asked, "Why are you the only one?"
"snort!"
Hearing these words, Tao Tong suddenly became a little excited and said angrily: "They all abandoned the young master and went to find other backers!"
"Don't say that."
Yang Ruoxu smiled faintly and said: "I sent them away. I am seriously injured and will not recover. I will not die soon. If you follow me, you will only drag them down."
"But, the young master is in crisis now, how could they leave you alone and just walk away like this!"
"Young master treats us so well on weekdays! Give us spiritual elixirs and Yuanling stones, and let us practice with you."
"Young Master also explained our doubts and preached to us. He never looked down upon us because of our background..."
When the Taoist boy said this, he was already crying, holding back his mouth, his eyes filled with tears, trying hard not to let the tears flow out.
"I came from a bad background and received a lot of cold shoulder ridicule."
Yang Ruoxu said: "I know that feeling, it's very uncomfortable. In this case, why would I despise you and laugh at you?"
Seeing this, Princess Chihong felt moved, turned her head, her eyes were slightly red, and sighed softly in her heart, human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is cold and cold.
Yang Ruoxu was an upright person and did not like to form gangs. He was also from the lower world, so he was always isolated in the academy and had few friends.
Over the years, due to Yuehua Sword Immortal, other monks were unwilling to get too close to him.
Now that Yang Ruoxu is in trouble, no one will come to see him.
However, the immortal servants and Taoists who followed Yang Ruoxu, who usually received the most favors from him, have now dispersed, which is really sad.
Yang Ruoxu stretched out his hand, gently wiped away the tears on Tao Tong's face, and said softly: "Don't cry, you are still with me, you haven't left."
"Um!"
The Taoist boy nodded vigorously and said: "Don't worry, young master, as long as I don't die, I will always guard you!"
Su Zimo stepped forward and gently touched Tao Tong's forehead with his palm.
Tao Tong felt his eyelids heavy and his consciousness blurred, so he fell asleep.
Su Zimo noticed that this Taoist boy had not slept for many days and was extremely tired, so he used Taoism to let him take a rest.
"Thank you."
Yang Ruoxu nodded slightly.
"Junior Brother Su..."
Just as Yang Ruoxu spoke, he seemed to think of something and said, "You have been accepted as a registered disciple by the sect master. I should call you Senior Brother Su."
"It doesn't have to be like this between you and me."
Su Zimo said: "Brother Yang, if you don't mind, just think of me as a brother!"
Yang Ruoxu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's fine, I'm not going to die soon anyway, so I shouldn't cause any trouble to you."
"what happened?"
Su Zimo asked in a deep voice.
Yang Ruoxu was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, there is no need to mention the past."
"I heard that someone from the Pang family took action for Pang Yu's death?" Su Zimo asked.
"no."
Yang Ruoxu said: "It's just an accidental conflict. My skills are inferior to others, so I can't blame others."
Yang Ruoxu knew that if he told the truth, Su Zimo would definitely stand up for him, and when the time came, he would definitely get angry.
Although Su Zimo is a registered disciple of the sect master of the academy, he has only been admitted to the academy for a short time and his cultivation level is not high, so he cannot compete with those in the academy.
"Is anyone from the academy involved?"
Seeing that Yang Ruoxu refused to say more, Su Zimo vaguely guessed something and asked again.
Yang Ruoxu was silent.
After a short pause, Yang Ruoxu suddenly changed the topic and said: "By the way, there is one more thing, which is a bit strange."
"At that time, those people could have taken my life, but instead of killing them all, they just severely damaged my soul and then left."
Liu Ping tilted his head slightly and analyzed: "Senior Brother Yang is an inner disciple of the academy after all. It is estimated that the person who took action also has some scruples and does not dare to go too far."
"possible."
Yang Ruoxu muttered: "However, I feel that there is still something wrong here. I can't explain it specifically."
"Brother Su, you should not leave the academy recently and practice in seclusion for a period of time."
Yang Ruoxu warned again.
Su Zimo was noncommittal and chatted with Yang Ruoxu for a few more words. Seeing that the latter looked tired, he left with Liu Ping and Princess Chihong.
