"Okay." Luo Jinxiao nodded hurriedly and turned to go down the mountain, but Elder Liu grabbed him by the collar and brought him back.
"Don't be reckless. The Qu family is a noble family with many experts. You can't even get through the gate like this." Elder Liu scolded. He took out a handwritten letter from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Jinxiao. "Take this and say you are going to get something for me. They will let you in after seeing it."
"Remember, after you find that girl, you are only allowed to persuade her and not to cause trouble. I won't clean up the mess for you." Elder Liu said seriously with a gloomy face.
"Disciple understands. Thank you, Master." Luo Jinxiao took the letter in a hurry, and disappeared quickly as he finished speaking.
Elder Liu stood there, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back, shaking his head.
Luo Jinxiao held the letter in his hand and flew at lightning speed on his sword. The Qu family was located in Wuzhong City behind several mountains. Wuzhong was located on a plain between mountains and covered a vast area. It was an extremely prosperous city. Due to its proximity to Wuhui Gate, many immortal cultivation families were located in it.
As soon as you enter Wuzhong, it's as if you have entered the mortal world from Peach Garden. People come and go, and there are many houses with red walls and green tiles scattered around, with an air of everyday life. Among the bustling crowd, from time to time there are people selling spiritual swords and spiritual beasts.
The Wuzhong at this time was very different from that two thousand years later. The streets were crisscrossed and the roads were winding. Luo Jinxiao asked many people along the way before he finally found the Qu family.
The Qu family is indeed a prominent family. The plaque hanging high on the door can be seen from a distance. The plaque has been exposed to the sun and rain, but it does not look old at all. The gate is painted red and stands tall, which is intimidating.
Luo Jinxiao took a few steps forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened and a young man stood at the door. After seeing Luo Jinxiao, he politely asked, "Who are you looking for, young lady?"
Luo Jinxiao pretended to be calm, took out the handwritten letter and handed it to him: "It was Elder Liu from Wuhui Sect who asked me to come here."
The man looked at the handwriting on the letter and said in a friendly manner, "Come with me."
Luo Jinxiao followed him in. As soon as he stepped in, the door slammed shut with a bang, leaving a shadow behind him. Luo Jinxiao looked back and saw the huge door knockers, like two huge mouths of the abyss, gradually approaching.
This place was indeed depressing. Luo Jinxiao concealed the emotions in her eyes, lifted her skirt and followed.
We passed three gates in a row. There were some spiritual herbs planted in the courtyard, so the courtyard was full of spiritual energy. There were empty spaces filled with weapons, which must be used for the younger generation to practice. But at this time, no one knew where the people had gone and it was quiet.
"Why is it so quiet today?" Luo Jinxiao smiled casually.
The man looked back at Luo Jinxiao and said as he led the way: "The Qu family has been discussing important matters recently, so they are not here. After the young lady takes her things, I will send her out."
Seeing how tight-lipped they are, they are worthy of being from the Qu family, Luo Jinxiao thought to himself.
"Please wait outside the door, young lady." The man walked to the door of a side room and nodded slightly.
"Okay." Luo Jinxiao's smile was as warm as a spring breeze. After the man's figure disappeared, she instantly stopped smiling and ran away.
She walked along the porch in small steps, being careful of her surroundings, slowly releasing her spiritual power to search for other people's breath. She followed the clues and soon bypassed several houses. In front of her was a yard, as big as the Wuhui Palace. The yard was full of people, blocking the huge yard.
Luo Jinxiao crouched all the way and stood behind the crowd. Fortunately, there were too many people from various branches of the Qu family, and most of them were strangers, so no one noticed him.
The two men standing in front of her were whispering to each other, and one of them said, "She hasn't admitted her mistake yet?"
"No." The other man shook his head with a regretful look. He saw Luo Jinxiao out of the corner of his eye and greeted him in a friendly manner.
Luo Jinxiao was stunned for a moment and nodded stiffly.
"Are you from the branch of the Qu family and have you just arrived?" the man asked.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jinxiao immediately put on a restrained smile and hummed.
"They have been arguing for several days. Fortunately, you came late, otherwise you would have to wait like us, bored. Anyway, no matter who the head of the family is, it won't be me." The man sighed and joked.
"Then, what about Qu Weiyin?" Luo Jinxiao asked cautiously.
"Qu Weiyin? Calling her that is extremely disrespectful. According to your generation..." The man estimated Luo Jinxiao's age and continued, "You should at least call her grandma."
Luo Jinxiao's cheeks trembled and he almost bit his tongue.
"Alas, but we are all collateral branches, and we don't mind these things privately. But I'm afraid Qu Weiyin will have to suffer this time. The head of the Qu family has been missing for twenty years, and now his body is probably gone. It's time to formally appoint a head of the family. In fact, according to the usual order, the eldest son inherits the family head, but this time the head of the Qu family has no sons, only Qu Weiyin, and the head of the family didn't leave any last words before his death. In addition, Qu Weiyin's cultivation is far behind Qu Chengzhou, and this alone is not enough to convince the public. So, it's difficult."
When Luo Jinxiao heard this, he immediately understood. He must have been Qu Chengzhou who had been secretly exercising the power of the patriarch before. Now that he had survived for thirty years, he was thinking of taking over the position of patriarch openly.
But Qu Weiyin naturally refused. She didn't know what handle she had on him that led to the issue of family rules.
And she always felt that the hatred between Qu Weiyin and Qu Chengzhou should not be limited to the fact that she was used when she was young. Maybe the original head of the Qu family...
Luo Jinxiao couldn't help but clench her fists hidden in her sleeves. If this was true, it was no wonder that Qu Weiyin had such great hatred. As she thought about it, she felt a little distressed.
Suddenly, there was a sound of something breaking. Luo Jinxiao stood up straight and tiptoed to look in front of the crowd, but there were only heads of people there, and he had no idea what had happened.
Luo Jinxiao hurriedly asked the man what the family rules were. The man was talkative, so he told him the truth: "The young people who made mistakes kneel in the ancestral hall, endure the heart-piercing pain of the dragon-binding whip, and confess in front of all the deceased ancestors."
"Dragon Binding Whip?" Luo Jinxiao was so shocked that his voice became hoarse when he heard this.
"Are you really from the Qu family? Generally speaking, as long as you admit your mistake, you will be released soon. The Dragon Binding Whip is also a threat, but it is not too harsh. It's just that Qu Weiyin knelt for three days and refused to say a word."
The man felt more and more regretful as he spoke, and couldn't help but say, "In fact, based on her tenacity, I would rather she get the position of head of this family. It's a pity that although she is already a genius among geniuses, she can't compare to Qu Chengzhou's cultivation, and she can't resist so many elders in the Qu family at all."
"To put it bluntly, the strong are respected." The man sighed.
Luo Jinxiao couldn't bear to listen any longer. She raised her legs and tried to squeeze to the front, but her feet stopped in mid-air.
Even Qu Weiyin, who had reached the level of Divine Transformation, couldn't resist. How could she, who was only at the second stage of Golden Core, dream of breaking in to save people
She was surrounded by a deep sense of powerlessness, which was enough to make people confused and resentful.
Luo Jinxiao clenched her fists until she felt a sharp pain in her palms, then she forced herself to calm down. She couldn't force her way in, she could only use her wits.
She forced a smile and said, "Well, is there any way for her to escape?"
"The Dragon Binding Whip has been deployed, so not even a mosquito can fly out. There are also people with the ability to transcend tribulation guarding outside, so how can they escape?"
Qu Weiyin was inside, and no one knew how angry she was. Luo Jinxiao was so anxious that he paced around for a few circles.
While she was not paying attention, there was suddenly another person behind her. The person was wearing a light blue robe and a hood, and patted Luo Jinxiao gently.
Luo Jinxiao looked back, surprised, and said hurriedly: "Luo... why are you here?"
The man next to him looked at him in surprise, and Luo Jinxiao forced a smile: "My sister."
Seeing that the man had no doubts, Luo Ning leaned close to Luo Jinxiao's ear and said carefully: "I saw that my sister was in a hurry, so I went to ask Elder Liu, and then followed her all the way here. While that person was taking you in, there was no one guarding the door, so we slipped in as well."
We? Luo Jinxiao looked up and saw Yan Ying standing a few steps away with her arms folded, looking unhappy.
"I want to distract Qu Chengzhou. The Dragon Binding Whip is in his hand. As long as he relaxes for a moment, I can sneak into the ancestral hall to find my junior master uncle." The situation was urgent, so Luo Jinxiao did not hesitate and spoke concisely and clearly.
"Then let us help." Luo Ning nodded vigorously, her little face tense, and turned to look at Yan Ying.
"What are you looking at me for?" Yan Ying was anxious, her face showing annoyance, "I won't help her."
After an incense stick of time, the Dragon Binding Whip still circled the ancestral hall, emitting a faint blue light.
Suddenly, a sharp and shrill bird cry was heard outside the ancestral hall, which was originally silent. An extremely huge peacock flew in from somewhere, and its colorful feathers were very gorgeous and dazzling in the sunlight.
Everyone was in chaos, and several older people all looked up at the sky, without reacting for a while.
"What the hell broke into Qu's house?" Qu Chengzhou said in a deep voice. He waved his sleeves and used his spiritual power to drive it away, but the peacock not only dodged it easily, but also swooped down from the air and accurately and fiercely dropped a huge pile of bird shit, hitting Qu Chengzhou right in the face.
Qu Chengzhou shouted angrily and reached out to wipe it. The dragon-binding whip he was controlling suddenly loosened. No one noticed that a faint light flashed in the crack of the door.
Luo Jinxiao fell to the ground on one knee, staggered for a moment, then stood up, bypassed the family motto in the hall, and ran into the inner room in a few steps. He saw a red figure lying in front of a row of tablets of varying sizes.
Luo Jinxiao suddenly felt her head buzzing. She knelt down hurriedly, stretched out her hands to hold Qu Weiyin's shoulders, and helped her into her arms. She touched her face with one hand and whispered, "Little Master?"
Fortunately, the skin in my hand was still warm, delicate and pale, except for the blood-red lips, which looked even more fragile.
Qu Weiyin's soft body seemed to have no perception, as if she was sleeping. Her body was so soft that Luo Jinxiao didn't dare to use any force at all, for fear of hurting her.
Luo Jinxiao forced spiritual power from her fingers, trying to heal her wounds, but the dragon-binding whips surrounding her suddenly tightened. The buzzing sound in her head was like a bolt of thunder, and Luo Jinxiao almost fell down. She gritted her teeth and endured it, and forced a wisp of spiritual power into Qu Weiyin's body.
Qu Weiyin was awakened by her, and at the same time felt pain. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes opened a little. There seemed to be some crystal at the roots of her long eyelashes.
Her fingertips slowly climbed up Luo Jinxiao's arm and slid into her palm. For a moment, she could not tell whether she was dreaming or awake. It was like a long sigh, or a murmur.
"Luo... Tonight"
