Not far away, several figures were approaching quickly.
The person in front of me is Elder Danqing, whom I haven’t seen for a long time!
Behind him were other elders from the academy.
Elder Hua Feng quickly greeted him.
"Danqing!"
He flew away and soon arrived in front of several people.
Before he could finish the words in his throat, he saw the messy blood stains on several people.
One of them even had an arm broken, as if it had been chopped off by something!
Elder Hua Feng’s heart skipped a beat!
"You guys... what's going on!?"
The Northern Territory is dangerous, but these are all top-notch people. How could it be like this? !
Elder Danqing's face turned pale.
"We'll talk about it in detail later. Let's take him there to recuperate and rest first."
Elder Huafeng nodded solemnly, and then led a few people back.
Others also hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The elder with a broken arm persisted until this point, and finally couldn't resist and fainted.
The others were not much better.
Anyone who looked at it could guess that they must have suffered a terrible attack.
Elder Hua Feng waited until all their injuries were taken care of before finally speaking.
"Danqing, are you the only ones? Where are Boyan and the others?"
Elder Danqing took a deep breath, took two pills in succession, and his complexion improved slightly.
"It's a long story. We were originally together, but then we separated... Why are you here?"
"Bo Yan sent a message saying that the Holy Cauldron of Heaven has appeared and asked us to bring a few more people..."
Elder Hua Feng said, and when he saw Elder Danqing's sudden change in expression, he immediately understood something.
"These are all fake, aren't they?"
Elder Danqing smiled bitterly.
"Since we came here, we have been in constant trouble and have been exhausted. We have never seen the Tianfang Holy Cauldron..."
Elder Hua Feng's heart sank.
Although he had guessed this before, after he actually confirmed it, he still felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
"Bo Yan separated from us early in the morning, why would he send you such a message?"
Elder Danqing also realized something was wrong and asked in surprise.
"...I'm afraid we have been deceived since then."
Elder Hua Feng shook his head.
"His sapphire token was left behind. Maybe everything has gone off track since then..."
It was clear that someone deliberately released the news to attract them.
But…
Who is the person behind this, and what is the purpose of doing this
The people who came this time, including him and a few elders, were not really important figures in Lingxiao Academy.
Who put so much effort into doing this? !
"We have been here for several days and have been looking for you. Unfortunately, there has been no progress. You are the first people from the academy we have seen since we came here."
As Elder Hua Feng said, he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, no. Before you, there was another person named Yu—Jiang Zhiyuan."
Having said this, he turned around and waved to Jiang Zhiyuan.
"Zhiyuan, why don't you come over and meet your master?"
When Jiang Zhiyuan heard this, her whole body stiffened and cold sweat broke out on her back.
Elder Danqing's expression became a little subtle.
"Zhiyuan is... with you?"
He hadn't noticed just now, but after hearing Elder Huafeng's words, he realized that there was indeed a very familiar figure standing behind the crowd.
He has been his proud disciple for several years, so he will naturally not admit his mistake.
Elder Hua Feng didn't realize that his tone was wrong, nodded and explained:
"Yes. Not long after we arrived, we happened to meet her, and she has been following us since then."
Seeing that Jiang Zhiyuan hadn't moved yet, he raised his voice again.
"Zhiyuan?"
There is really no way to escape.
Everyone is looking this way.
Jiang Zhiyuan clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost cut through her palms, causing a sharp pain.
She turned around stiffly and walked step by step in front of Elder Hua Feng and the others.
She lowered her head, with almost no expression on her face, and her voice was so low that it seemed like it would disappear in the wind at any time.
"...Master..."
Elder Danqing looked at her.
silence.
Elder Hua Feng's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, and then he realized that Elder Danqing's reaction was very wrong.
He thought for a while and said:
"Danqing, I'm really sorry for not taking good care of your disciple. But actually when we saw her, she was already injured—"
"I know."
Elder Danqing suddenly spoke, interrupted his words, and smiled meaningfully.
"Zhiyuan... you are still alive, which is really a surprise for me."
The atmosphere became inexplicably awkward and weird.
Where can any master ask questions like this
Jiang Zhiyuan's breath was suffocated.
"... This... I... It was also my luck that I met Elder Huafeng and the others in the end. Otherwise... I must have died long ago..."
"You are always smart, how could something happen? Even if you are in a desperate situation, you can always save the day, right?"
Elder Danqing said lightly.
Now, everyone realized there was a problem.
Elder Hua Feng raised his eyebrows.
interesting…
In the past, Danqing was very fond of this apprentice. Even if she occasionally acted unkindly, he would always turn a blind eye and be extremely protective of her.
I don’t know what happened this time, but he spoke in such a weird way.
Listening to this, could it be that something happened before
"Master..."
After being quiet for a while, Jiang Zhiyuan raised her head, her eyes already full of tears.
"Plop!"
Jiang Zhiyuan knelt straight on the ground.
"Master, my disciple made a mistake, please punish me!"
The sudden scene shocked everyone.
What's going on
Jiang Zhiyuan actually knelt down and admitted her mistake
Elder Danqing looked at her condescendingly, without any expression on his face.
There was only deep sarcasm and ridicule under the old eyes.
He is laughing at himself.
Why didn't you see that Jiang Zhiyuan was such a person before? !
All the efforts and efforts over the past few years are nothing but a joke!
"You... get up."
Elder Danqing finally spoke.
Jiang Zhiyuan looked at him uneasily, with a bit of hope in her eyes.
In fact, she couldn't be entirely blamed for that incident.
In that situation, everyone only cared about themselves, how could they think of anything else
Master has always been very kind to her, this time maybe—
"Master, have you forgiven me?"
Elder Danqing's expression did not change.
"Just get up. In this ice and snow, you are still injured. How can your body bear it?"
Jiang Zhiyuan felt happy.
So, Master really doesn’t care about it anymore
After how many years of following him, Master must still be reluctant to let go—
She stood up and took two steps forward.
"Master—"
Elder Danqing suddenly said:
"From now on, you will walk on your Yangguan Road, and I will walk on my single-plank bridge. From now on, you and I are no longer masters and disciples!"
I was still on the train, my whole body ached from sitting there, and it would be a long time before I got home.
It should be gone tonight. I'll go back and take a rest tonight and resume updating tomorrow.
thank you all!
