Xiao Chunmian stared blankly at the figure on the other side of the mountain.
... Yu Qiu
Yu Qiu! It's really Yu Qiu!
Xiao Chunmian's figure was still like an arrow leaving the string, but it turned in a direction in mid-air, rushed over at once, and threw Yu Qiu fiercely into his arms.
"Xiao Qiu," Xiao Chunmian was extremely surprised, holding Yu Qiu in his arms and rubbing her arms, rubbing Yu Qiu's face non-stop, "Xiao Qiu... Xiao Qiu... you are fine..."
Until someone beside me coughed.
Only then did Xiao Chunmian realize that there was another person beside Yu Qiu, and he couldn't help but pause.
After this, Yu Qiu broke away from his embrace with a blushing face, and even pushed him lightly. Xiao Chunmian was feeling lost when he heard Yu Qiu whisper, "You too."
"What?" Xiao Chunmian was stunned.
"You too..." Yu Qiu looked at the sky, "It's great that you're fine."
With such a simple sentence, Xiao Chunmian was so excited again that he almost wanted to rub Yuqiu in his arms again.
Standing by the side, Xu Hong felt too embarrassed, couldn't help coughing again, trying to remind them to pay attention to the situation, but instead attracted Xiao Chunmian's dissatisfied gaze.
After seeing this sight, Xiao Chunmian finally said in astonishment, "Brother, have you established your foundation?"
Xu Hong burst into tears: What an obvious thing, how far did you ignore me before.
Only then did Xiao Chunmian realize something, remembering that someone had built the foundation before, it turned out to be Xu Hong.
"Congratulations, brother." Xiao Chunmian cupped his hands towards Xu Hong. Congratulations are indeed sincere congratulations, but under this sincerity, there is still a kind of loneliness that cannot be concealed.
Xu Hong smiled knowingly. Thinking back when he congratulated his brothers and sisters one by one for establishing the foundation, he always felt this kind of loneliness that couldn't be concealed.
"Don't worry." Xu Hong smiled, "It will always be your turn."
Xiao Chunmian nodded, "Thank you for the good words, senior brother."
"Speaking of which." Xu Hong asked again, "Did you see a demon cultivator when you came out of the cave?"
"Magic cultivator?" Xiao Chunmian was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Gao Conghan was probably asking this question. When Gao Conghan was mentioned, Xiao Chunmian thought of the blood that was sprayed on his face before, and couldn't help wiping his face with his sleeve again. Just now he hugged Yu Qiu for a while, so he shouldn't be disgusted...
As a result, after wiping, he discovered that the black blood that could not be washed off had disappeared without a trace.
"It's also possible that it's not a demon cultivator." Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Hong added, "Maybe it's just an ordinary Xuanyang sect disciple."
Only then did Xiao Chunmian nod, "A disciple of the Xuanyang Sect, I actually brought one out of the cave."
Then Xiao Chunmian led the way and led them to the stream.
As a result, Yu Qiu fell again...
"Junior Brother Yu," Xu Hong asked, "You really don't need me to drive you all the way?"
Yu Qiu shook his head, Xiao Chunmian gently helped him up from the ground.
Xu Hong understands: At this moment, even if it is going to be carried all the way, why do we need him to carry it
But when the three finally arrived at the stream where Gao Conghan was, what was waiting for them was... one, two, three, four, five, a total of six people.
Except for Gao Conghan who was still lying there, Xu Weitian, Zhao Lian, Gu Ruxue and Longyi, the four major golden elixirs of Xuanyangzong were all present. The remaining one was in the Yuan Condensation Stage, but judging by his identity, he was the captain of the Xuanyang Sect Demon Slayer Team.
Xu Hong hurriedly ran over and saluted one by one, Xiao Chunmian followed closely behind, and only Yu Qiu, theoretically speaking, couldn't even recognize anyone, so he shivered with his neck shrunk and pretended to be a frightened ordinary little girl. disciple.
"There was such a big commotion just now." Xu Weitian said in a strangely official tone, "Could it be that you guys made it?"
Yu Qiu couldn't help shrinking his neck back a little more. To be precise, it was Gao Conghan who started the introduction, and Yu Qiu placed a bomb on this introduction all of a sudden, so the responsibility was greater than Gao Conghan, as for the remaining two, they were purely implicated...
Xu Hong was very loyal, relying on himself as the head's son, he immediately stood in front of him and took all the responsibility on himself, "It's all because the disciples are too messy."
Xu Weitian snorted coldly, but his own son finally built the foundation after ten years of hard work, who can't see that he is actually holding back a smile
"Let's talk about what's going on first!" Xu Weitian said.
In fact, Xu Hong didn't know what was going on, so he had to look back at Yu Qiu again.
This one glance, but it was exposed by Yu Qiu. All the bosses stared at him suddenly, and Yu Qiu's scalp felt numb.
Xiao Chunmian secretly blocked Yuqiu. Although he is the most dazed and innocent among this group of people, as long as it is about Yu Qiu's affairs, he will definitely block some of them.
Yu Qiu patted him on the shoulder and shook his head lightly.
"The thing is like this..." Then Yu Qiu started his nonsense.
In fact, there is not much to talk about, it is nothing more than to continue to cover up Gao Conghan's identity as a demon cultivator, and to conceal why Xu Hong was injured in the first place. As for what happened afterwards, the movement was too loud, and I really couldn't think of how to cover it up. To be honest, it was relatively simple.
So this incident became: Gao Conghan came back from the Xuanyangzong after completing the mission, and encountered Xu Hong who was seriously injured and fell to the ground halfway. After roughly dealing with it, Hong hid in a cave, and ran to Xuanyangzong to find Yu Qiu for help. Guo Guo Gao Conghan did something wrong with good intentions, and the cave where Xu Hong was hidden turned out to be a dark cave entrance.
Hearing that Xu Hong had actually built a foundation under serious injuries, and the location was still in a dark cave, the complexions of several big bosses changed.
Then Yu Qiu decisively smashed dozens of spirit-gathering talismans, forcing a large amount of spiritual energy into the cave, and finally made Xu Hong succeed in building the foundation. This fact made the expressions of several big bosses extremely exciting.
"It's not easy." Long Yi sighed secretly, "I can think of such a method."
Gu Ruxue looked at Yu Qiu with admiration, "It's beautifully done."
Zhao Lian smiled without saying a word, although he also showed appreciation, this appreciation was given to his disciple Xu Hong.
"Reckless," only Xu Weitian's moustache kept trembling, "really messy! If there is a good or bad, there is a good or bad..."
"Isn't nephew all right now? He has successfully built the foundation." Long Yi looked at him with a smile, "Don't keep being afraid."
Xu Weitian paused in embarrassment, and then resolutely covered it up, "Who is afraid? You think I am afraid of him? I feel sorry for that hole! The entire fourth floor was destroyed, and the rest was finally stabilized. , that ghost thing can give us a good deal if it doesn't hit us hard!"
"It's a pity." Zhao Lian slammed his mouth, "In the future, the disciples below the foundation may not be able to go in and hone."
Xu Weitian glared at him.
Long Yi's interest lies in Qiu, "Little brother, how can you have so many spirit-gathering talismans."
"Uh..." Yu Qiu wiped his sweat, "I bought it."
"Buy dozens of spirit-gathering talismans at once?" Long Yi squinted his eyes.
Yu Qiu wiped the sweat from his forehead again, but fortunately Xu Weitian relieved him. Xu Weitian looked at Xu Hong, raised his voice furiously, and attracted everyone's attention, "Then there is only one question left: why did you get seriously injured in the first place!"
Xu Hong glanced at Gao Conghan who was still lying on the ground, a little hesitant.
"It must be a demon cultivator!" The captain of the condensed element stage demon slaying team on the side finally found the opportunity to speak, and said decisively, "There was a strong demonic energy here just now!"
Magical energy? Yu Qiu and the others were taken aback.
This kind of high-end thing can't be felt below the condensed yuan, unless the corresponding magic weapon is used.
"But we searched all the way, but we couldn't find even half a demon cultivator." Gu Ruxue said.
The other three big brothers nodded, and then all focused their attention on Xu Hong.
Xu Hong gritted his teeth, "He is indeed a magician!"
Yu Qiu raised his head and looked at him anxiously.
"I was attacked by a demon cultivator at the time, so I was seriously injured." Xu Hong continued, "I'm just really ashamed. I hadn't built a foundation at that time, and my strength was not good enough. I couldn't resist it even for a moment."
The implication is that he can't give any more information about that magic cultivator.
"The only thing that is certain is that the demon cultivator this time is the same demon cultivator who broke into Xuanyang Mountain last time." Xu Hong said again.
Only then did Yu Qiu heave a sigh of relief.
All the big shots nodded, and they all felt that this possibility was indeed very high.
"It should be a magic cultivator who is good at hiding and hiding."
"You have to notify the sect to pay attention."
"Since everything is almost cleared up, don't delay any longer. That damn thing is still waiting for you to negotiate. I guess you can't wait any longer."
"Hmph, you should let that ghost wait a little longer."
The few people finished talking, and then Xu Weitian continued to go in the direction of the cave, Long Yi left alone, Zhao Lian looked at Xu Hong and Xiao Chunmian meaningfully, and Gu Ruxue checked Gao Conghan who was still unconscious on the ground.
"If you have nothing to do, come back to the sect with me." Zhao Lian said, and glanced at Yu Qiu again from the corner of his eyes.
How could Yu Qiu not follow Jindan Grandmaster's words.
But Xu Hong said again, "Master, Uncle Gu, this person on the ground was seriously injured because of me, so I hope you can entrust him to me to take care of him."
Yu Qiu's sweat immediately came down.
Zhao Lian and Gu Ruxue didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and they both nodded.
After finally entering Xuanyangzong's mountain gate, the seniors went to work on their own affairs, while Xu Hong returned to his residence on the Black Rock Peak with Gao Conghan who was still in a coma. Yu Qiu had no choice but to silently send a prayer for Gao Conghan.
Then he stood at the same spot, staring at Xiao Chunmian beside him, all of a sudden they were relatively speechless.
After a long while, Yu Qiu said, "I heard that you made an oath before retreating that you would not come out until you built a foundation?"
Xiao Chunmian's eyes dimmed, she nodded, and gave a soft "hmm".
"You haven't established your foundation yet, have you?" Yu Qiu raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Xiao Chunmian smiled bitterly.
He was actually at a loss for a while. The cave has been destroyed, but he hasn't built his foundation yet... So should he find another place to continue his retreat
But Yu Qiu took his hand, "Let's take a rest once in a while."
Xiao Chunmian looked at him.
Yu Qiu looked at the sky, "Ever since my cave was completely built...you haven't come to see it yet."
Xiao Chunmian stared at him for a long while, until Yu Qiu's cheeks turned red.
Then Xiao Chunmian finally squinted and smiled, and let out a soft "um". He was already good-looking, under this smile, it seemed that all the colors were concentrated on his face, which was extremely bright.
He said in his heart: Xiao Qiu, you really miss me too.
