"Where are Senior Brother Zhu and Senior Brother Qiu? Have you seen them?" Mu Chenxue asked the other female disciples.
But they all replied that they had not seen it.
After all, everyone is happy, sitting together with people they know well to eat, drink, have fun, chat, and look forward to the future.
You won't notice people leaving or staying around you.
"Do you want them to set off to look for her?" Mu Chenxue asked in a low voice.
Ling Tian waved his hand, he felt it was not necessary. Because this is just the arrival of an evil disciple.
And he didn't come up the mountain.
At this time, Zhu Xingxiu and Qiu Zhenghe disappeared coincidentally.
This also shows that he is not here to cause trouble.
But coming here so late, there must be something urgent.
"Chenxue, come with me." Ling Tian whispered.
Mu Chenxue followed Ling Tian towards the back of Jueqing Mountain.
"Master, aren't you going down the mountain? Why do you come to the pavilion on the back mountain?"
"Chong Ming Bird."
Just when Mu Chenxue was confused, Ling Tian's voice was enough to answer her question.
Because they chose to meet at the foot of the Jueqing Mountain, they would definitely not just find a place to stand and chat in an open and aboveboard manner.
Instead, they will choose a remote and easily hidden place to meet.
Therefore, it would be best to let the Chongming Bird look for traces at this time.
"Come up."
The two flew together on the Chongming Bird into the night-shrouded sky. The Chongming Bird flies very low and slowly, and its unique eyes are like radar scanning suspicious areas.
Mu Chenxue did not focus on looking for Gou Wenyao and the others.
Because at this moment, she was in a night sky dotted with stars and as close as a stone's throw away.
So quiet and beautiful, it feels like falling into the stars. It's so beautiful that you won't want to leave.
At this moment, the Chongming Bird, which was flying low, suddenly flew downwards. Although it is not fast, with its huge body, it can be said to be extremely fast.
"Chen Xue, hold my master's arms tightly." Ling Tian said calmly.
And he had already stood up.
When Mu Chenxue heard this, she was immediately stunned. Her whole pretty face instantly became hot, and suddenly turned crimson.
If it weren't for the darkness, this shy look would have been completely exposed to Ling Tian's eyes.
She slowly leaned over and immediately hugged Ling Tian's arm.
At the same time, with a thought from Ling Tian, the Chongming Bird disappeared instantly.
With a soft pop, the Chongming Bird turned into a curl of green smoke, just like the smoke from the incense burner, and went away with the wind.
Mu Chenxue didn't know that Lingtian would let Chongmingniao go back in the air.
With a whoosh, the two of them fell from the sky like meteorites falling to the ground. It feels no less than a thrilling skydive.
Mu Chenxue had never experienced such an action before, and she suddenly screamed.
But she knew she couldn't, for fear of scaring Gou Wenyao away. After all, Ling Tian collected the Chongming Bird from such a high place just because he didn't want him to know his whereabouts.
"ah."
This time, Ling Tian was not having a good time.
As if seeking revenge, Mu Chenxue used her fear to pinch Ling Tian's arm as hard as she could.
She didn't care about anything, she buried her head in Ling Tian's arm and pinched him hard.
This pain made Ling Tian groan and grimace.
"You, be gentle. It hurts."
Ling Tian really felt that her arm was about to turn purple from being pinched by Mu Chenxue.
Mu Chenxue smiled when she heard Ling Tian's angry and helpless voice, like a child's voice that couldn't laugh or cry.
Secretly burying his head in Ling Tian's arm, he almost laughed out loud.
"It turns out that the Demonic Patriarch, who is so frightened by the news and so proud in the world, is also afraid of pain!" Mu Chenxue muttered in her heart.
"This little girl has really changed. She even dared to strangle Master to death. It hurts me to death. Hiss~ Women are so scary."
Ling Tian took a breath of cold air.
He also knew in his heart that this little girl must have felt uncomfortable and vented her anger because she had been scolded by him before.
Utilizing the absolute domain-wide control, Ling Tian and Mu Chenxue landed safely and smoothly on the forest floor.
"Master, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was too scared just now, so I pinched you hard. I am willing to be punished."
After Mu Chenxue landed, she looked like she had admitted her mistake obediently.
Ling Tian had a dark look on his face.
A pair of cold eyes flashed with helplessness.
"Get up. It's okay for you, Master." Ling Tian said calmly.
In fact, it's okay, it's almost painful enough to bite.
"Thank you, Master. I will never dare to do that again next time."
Hearing this, Ling Tian's face turned dark.
Can there be a next time? What a joke! Even if you beat me to death, this won't happen again.
"If a fight breaks out later, remember to stay within a five-foot radius of our master."
"Yes, Master."
Mu Chenxue followed Ling Tian closely as she walked deeper into the woods.
At this moment, she felt refreshed. Looking at Ling Tian's back, I felt a little proud.
Who says we can't fight Master
However, deep in the woods at this moment.
Gou Wenyao was facing Zhu Xingxiu and Qiu Zhenghe.
"Elder brother, what's the hurry for you to come here so late?" Zhu Xingxiu asked curiously.
After all, there was nothing special. Gou Wenyao would never want to get close to Jueqing Mountain.
Now everyone is worried that the master will attack them at some point.
In addition, all recent events indicate that the previous master seems to be back again.
"I want to ask you for a favor." Gou Wenyao said bluntly.
"Help? What are you doing?" Qiu Zhenghe was confused for a while.
When did Gou Wenyao, known as Yida Shura for a generation, need help from others
"Your second senior sister Shen Wanqing is missing. And there has been no news for many days. A senior member of their Evergreen Pavilion tried his best to find me and asked me to investigate for the sake of each other's senior brothers and sisters."
"After all, the disappearance of the Pavilion Master will have serious consequences. Not only will it lead to internal strife and power struggles within Evergreen Pavilion, but your power will also be swallowed up by people with ulterior motives."
"So, after thinking about it again and again, I came here to ask for your help."
Gou Wenyao never talked much. He actually said so much this time, and it must have been the exact words of one of the elders of Evergreen Pavilion who begged him for help.
"Elder brother, have you searched for it?"
Zhu Xingxiu guessed that Gou Wenyao must have thought of them after searching and finding no clues at all.
After all, his and Qiu Zhenghe's ability to collect intelligence was still very good in Gou Wenyao's opinion.
"That's right. I've been looking for him for three days. Ever since I received the request from the elder of Evergreen Pavilion." Gou Wenyao's tone was obviously anxious.
"Okay. I know what to do. I will let you know as soon as there is news." Zhu Xingxiu replied.
Qiu Zhenghe had no objections. After all, this is his second senior sister.
Even though there were many disputes in the struggle for power before, the Soul Erosion Palace has been destroyed by the Yuanyang Palace in Qingyan Mountain.
Everything in the past will be wiped out.
"Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news." Gou Wenyao was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, a figure slowly walked out of the woods not far away.
Wherever he looked, his eyes widened immediately, and his body instinctively kicked off the ground.
Uh-huh!
Gou Wenyao leapt into the void, and immediately disappeared into the woods.
Zhu Xingxiu and Qiu Zhenghe looked confused when they saw this.
"Why is this senior brother walking in such a hurry?" Zhu Xingxiu frowned slightly, puzzled.
Qiu Zhenghe also shook his head in confusion: "Really? It's like rushing to reincarnate."
The moment they turned around and prepared to go back.
The two of them were stunned.
Qiu Zhenghe's calves softened instinctively, and he collapsed on the ground.
The originally fierce face suddenly changed.
His face was full of sorrow, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Master, Master. We were wrong. But it's really not what you saw? We were just chatting."
"That's right, Master. Senior brother and we were just chatting. It's not what you think."
"The feelings that Lao Ba and I have for Master are the same as the sun and the moon. Heaven and earth can learn from it! Master."
…
Qiu Zhenghe and Zhu Xingxiu didn't know when they became so in harmony.
The two of them were like having a cross talk, you were talking to each other.
Thief!
"You three grown men secretly had a secret meeting behind Master's back at night. What kind of crime is this?" Mu Chenxue asked sharply.
But why do these words always sound weird
"Why are Gou Wenyao here?" Ling Tian asked coldly.
Because what he cares about is not the secret meeting at all, but the reason for the secret meeting.
After all, their senior brothers have been meeting in private for hundreds of years. This is not surprising.
"Report to master. Senior brother is here to ask us for a favor."
"Help?" Ling Tian was a little curious.
Because he also knows that Gou Wenyao's style of acting has always been that of a loner.
He also never interacts with others, so there is no way to help him at all.
"That's right, Master. Senior Brother really came here to ask us to help." Qiu Zhenghe said quickly.
The bitter look on his originally fierce face made people feel... so ugly!
"Don't talk nonsense. What Master wants to know is why Senior Brother asked you for help?"
Mu Chenxue suddenly stood up as if she couldn't stand it.
Zhu Xingxiu and Qiu Zhenghe looked confused.
When will junior sister be able to speak like this in front of Master? Or question her two senior brothers
But Mu Chenxue was right. What Ling Tian was concerned about was indeed the reason why Gou Wenyao came to them.
"Master, Second Senior Sister Shen Wanqing is missing." Qiu Zhenghe hurriedly said before Zhu Xingxiu.
"Elder brother came here this time because an elder from Evergreen Pavilion begged him to help find out the whereabouts of Second Senior Sister. But after three days of searching, no trace was found."
"Master, what the seventh senior brother said is the truth. And more importantly, the time when the second senior sister disappeared was not only the time when the senior brother was looking for her."
"Before this, the people in Evergreen Pavilion should also be secretly looking for some time. Otherwise, they would never ask Senior Brother for help."
Ling Tian nodded.
After all, the less people know about the disappearance of the Pavilion Master, the better, and they are still outsiders. How do you know if this outsider has ulterior motives
"So, Senior Brother came here to ask you to help investigate the whereabouts of Second Senior Sister?"
Mu Chenxue always felt that something was wrong.
Zhu Xingxiu and Qiu Zhenghe nodded in response.
Ling Tian had some thoughts in his mind.
Because it's all a coincidence. I just decided to go to Evergreen Pavilion tomorrow.
But Shen Wanqing disappeared a few days ago.
This made Ling Tian smell something else.
"It's time to build a new building. Inform Gou Wenyao that he will go to Changqing Pavilion for the master's meeting tomorrow." Ling Tian's tone was cold and firm.
"ha?"
"Going to Evergreen Pavilion?"
Zhu Xingxiu and Qiu Zhenghe looked surprised, and Mu Chenxue did not expect Ling Tian to go out tomorrow.
"Master, a new disciple will join the religion tomorrow. Wouldn't it be bad if you weren't here?" Mu Chenxue asked tentatively.
"It's okay. Just leave it to your senior brother Zhu to take care of it."
"Yes, Master." Mu Chenxue had learned the previous lesson and did not dare to ask any more questions.
"Just in time, you and Chenxue will accompany me to the Evergreen Pavilion tomorrow."
Qiu Zhenghe was overjoyed when he heard this.
This shows that Master is no longer angry with them at all.
But Zhu Xingxiu was puzzled.
In terms of brains, he is much better than his seventh senior brother. In terms of cultivation, he is not weaker than the seventh senior brother at all.
But why is he the one who stays
"Master, my disciple also wants to go together." Zhu Xingxiu requested.
"You can't go. A new disciple will join the sect tomorrow. For such an important matter, I wouldn't feel at ease if anyone else besides you handles it. So, you have to stay."
Hearing this, Zhu Xingxiu understood.
Master is asking me to take charge of the overall situation.
"Yes, I understand. I will definitely fulfill my master's destiny." Zhu Xingxiu said with confidence.
