She pulled her hand out of Luo Jinxiao's palm and asked in a low voice: "How did you find this place?"
"I asked around at Wuhuimen and found out you were here." Luo Jinxiao said with a smile. She looked at Qu Weiyin standing in front of her alive, her heart was filled with joy, and she couldn't stop smiling on her face.
"Junior Master, let's find a place to sit down first, and I'll talk to you slowly. I've been missing you so much these years that I almost went crazy." Luo Jinxiao took her hand and strode towards the teahouse.
Qu Weiyin was pulled by her, looking at her back all the way, and then looking at the hand she was holding. She couldn't say the words of refusal no matter what, so she could only look away to cover up the blush on her cheeks.
The teahouse that Luo Jinxiao found was where Wuhuimen was located before. It was empty at this time. Luo Jinxiao asked the boss for a pot of good tea, then he calmly sat Qu Weiyin on the chair and diligently filled the teacup in front of her.
Then, she stared at Qu Weiyin with a smile on her face.
Qu Weiyin felt uncomfortable under her undisguised gaze, so she reached out to cover her eyes and said angrily: "You were going to talk, why are you staring at me?"
Luo Jinxiao turned her head away, but her eyes did not move. Her dark eyes were deep, and the shadow of her long eyelashes was imprinted in her pupils.
"I want to see Junior Uncle Master more." Luo Jinxiao said softly in a serious tone.
Qu Weiyin opened her eyes wide, then lowered her head to drink the clear green tea in the cup and almost choked.
Her heart has been beating wildly since the moment she saw Luo Jinxiao.
Why after five years, she always felt that many things about Luo Jinxiao were different, including her eyes, which were inexplicably hot.
Maybe I’ve just grown up, Qu Weiyin comforted herself.
Luo Jinxiao recounted all her days on Nandou Peak. She even enthusiastically described to Qu Weiyin how lifelike the little ice man she carved was.
“I was just afraid it would melt when I went down the mountain, so I didn’t take it with me.” Luo Jinxiao pursed his thin lips and said regretfully.
After listening to this, Qu Weiyin suddenly asked, "So, the Sect Master also went down the mountain with you?"
"Yes, the Sect Master is getting weaker and weaker. I was worried that it would be too harmful for her to stay in that bitter cold place alone, so I tried to persuade her to go down the mountain. However, the Sect Master did not make a big fuss and moved back to the Tianluo Pavilion which had been sealed for a long time. No one has been there, so no one should have discovered it."
"She also asked me to help get something." Luo Jinxiao took out the handkerchief and placed it in front of Qu Weiyin.
Qu Weiyin picked it up and took a look, only to see a few patterns scribbled on it, one of which was shaped like a sun, like a miniature map.
"Luyang Island." Qu Weiyin said, frowning slightly.
Luo Jinxiao nodded and pointed at the map, saying, "I only saw that the terrain here is very similar to Luyangzhou, and my junior master uncle is also here. But when I got here, I didn't know what to do next. When I asked in detail, the sect leader didn't say a word and was very mysterious." Luo Jinxiao said as she shook her head.
Qu Weiyin thought silently for a while and returned the handkerchief to Luo Jinxiao.
"I guess she was afraid that the thing she was going to take would fall into the hands of others, so she didn't tell you where it is." Qu Weiyin said thoughtfully.
"Could it be that the sect leader doesn't trust me?" Luo Jinxiao held his chin with a helpless look.
Qu Weiyin gave her a reproachful look and shook her head, saying, "Since the Sect Master is willing to ask you to take it, she will not distrust you. Perhaps this thing is too important and there are too many people who want it, so she is so secretive about it."
Luo Jinxiao uttered an "oh" and stared at the handkerchief, falling into deep thought.
After a while, she put away the handkerchief, suddenly lowered her voice, and came close to Qu Weiyin: "Little Master, these days, the evil spirit in your body is still spreading."
Qu Weiyin was frightened by her sudden approach, and immediately leaned back to avoid her without answering.
Luo Jinxiao noticed that she looked flustered. He stared at her for a while, stopped asking questions, and immediately changed the subject to talk about the treasure hunt conference. After a while, he suddenly made an excuse that he had something to do and left temporarily.
After her figure disappeared, Qu Weiyin finally released the sadness in his eyes. His fair hands tightly grasped the teacup, causing cracks to appear on the porcelain.
She just didn't want to speak just now because she didn't want to make Luo Jinxiao worry.
These days, she could clearly feel that the evil energy in her body was becoming increasingly difficult to control. It was like fate, chasing her every step and refusing to let go.
Five years ago, she killed Qu Chengzhou, and the poison in her body erupted. The evil spirit instantly entered her body and quickly invaded her limbs and bones. However, she happened to die of severe internal injuries, so she was not corroded.
But in recent years, she seems to no longer be able to control the spread of evil energy in her body.
If she couldn't wait for Luo Jinxiao, she might...
Qu Weiyin bit her lips tightly, leaving traces of blood on her rosy lips. At the same time, she looked out the window, looking for Luo Jinxiao's back.
There was some panic in his eyes, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't come back.
The noise outside the door gradually returned. The treasure hunt competition had ended at some point, and people once again poured into Liuguang Street, crowding the wide street.
The teahouse soon became bustling again. The disciples of Wuhui Sect all returned to the teahouse, carefully sat at the table next to Qu Weiyin, secretly glancing at her.
"Who was that person just now? How could he be so powerful as to make Junior-Master Qu cry like that?" a young girl asked.
"I heard from my brother that it seemed that the senior sister who disappeared a few years ago was named Luo Jinxiao." Baili Xiao answered in a low voice.
Chang Siyu walked in from outside the door, his bony hands clenched, the joints looking even more pale. Seeing that there was no one beside Qu Weiyin, he felt relieved. He strode to Qu Weiyin's side and for the first time, he bravely sat opposite her.
Qu Weiyin looked up at him, then looked away, a hint of annoyance flashing across her eyes.
"Master Qu, is she gone?" Chang Siyu asked cautiously.
Qu Weiyin did not answer.
"Well, I came to discuss with you when to leave for Wuhui Sect." Chang Siyu saw that Qu Weiyin's face was not good, so he did not dare to act rashly and had to discuss the sect's affairs with her.
"Anytime." Qu Weiyin said.
Just as Chang Siyu was about to speak again, a sword with a cold aura around it fell in front of him. With a loud bang, he was so frightened that his words were choked in his throat.
I saw a woman in black standing in front of me. There was no expression on her face, but her eyes were so stern that it made people feel cold behind their backs.
She raised her eyebrows, looked at Chang Siyu, then at Qu Weiyin, and suddenly smiled. She reached out and pulled open the sandalwood chair next to Qu Weiyin, and sat down gracefully.
"Senior Brother Si Yu, long time no see." Luo Jinxiao curved his almond-shaped eyes and gently tapped the sword that was cold enough to freeze with his slender fingers.
The smile on Chang Siyu's face immediately collapsed, and the muscles around his mouth trembled for a while before he said, "Long time no see."
"Master Qu, how about we set off tomorrow?" Chang Siyu turned to Qu Weiyin.
When Qu Weiyin saw Luo Jinxiao coming back, the expression on her face instantly softened. Just as she was about to answer, Luo Jinxiao suddenly blocked her view.
Luo Jinxiao had disliked Chang Siyu for a long time, and now he was no longer afraid of him. He rested his elbows on the table, supported his forehead, turned around and looked at Qu Weiyin, while completely blocking out Chang Siyu's gaze.
Qu Weiyin met Luo Jinxiao's gaze, her lips curled up slightly, she suppressed her smile and said seriously: "What are you doing?"
"Luo Jinxiao!" Chang Siyu was furious and stretched out his hand to grab Luo Jinxiao.
He pushed it open, but suddenly felt his arm stiffen. He raised his eyes, but Qu Weiyin didn't even look at him.
He didn't believe it, and no matter how hard he tried, his hand still couldn't touch Luo Jinxiao at all.
Only then did he realize that it was Qu Weiyin who blocked him.
"Junior Master, I came to see you in a hurry, couldn't you stay with me for a few more days?" Luo Jinxiao was well versed in the art of acting like a spoiled child. She softened her tone and bit her pink lips, looking very aggrieved.
"Luo Jinxiao, we have important matters to attend to when we return home, so don't make trouble!" Chang Siyu shouted angrily.
The noise he made was so loud that people on the side turned their heads repeatedly. Several disciples of Wuhui Sect were so frightened when they saw that someone dared to touch Qu Weiyin that they dared not say anything for a while.
"Senior Brother Siyu." Luo Jinxiao's tone was cold this time. She moved her hand slightly, and the Wu Jue on the table began to hum. The scabbard popped out, and it seemed that in the next second, the tip of the sword would reach Chang Siyu's throat.
"I'm looking for Junior-Master Uncle for something important as well." Luo Jinxiao put away his smile and spoke slowly, word by word, his eyes full of threats.
Chang Siyu was really furious this time. He jumped up, and the pressure from his body burst out instantly, heading towards Luo Jinxiao. Qu Weiyin's eyes suddenly changed, and just as he was about to take action, Luo Jinxiao secretly grabbed his arm and squeezed it soothingly.
The next moment, an even more powerful pressure appeared, and without using any spiritual power, it bound Chang Siyu in one place, making him unable to move.
Chang Siyu glared at Luo Jinxiao. In just five short years, she had been able to completely suppress him.
What a...
He couldn't think any more because Luo Jinxiao hardly gave him any time to catch his breath. Chang Siyu suddenly groaned and almost fell along the tea table.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his face turned red as liver. He felt ashamed but could not break free.
Several disciples of Wuhui Sect looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward to persuade them.
"Luo Jinxiao." Qu Weiyin couldn't bear it anymore and opened her mouth to stop him.
Seeing that Luo Jinxiao didn't react, Qu Weiyin pulled her sleeve with her backhand, gently tugged it, and called her name again: "Luo Jinxiao, stop making trouble."
Qu Weiyin was not angry, but rather a little resentful and helpless, which was completely different from her usual self.
"Tonight!" Qu Weiyin frowned and spoke in a firm tone when she saw that Luo Jinxiao had no reaction.
Luo Jinxiao was stunned for a moment, then stopped, but Chang Siyu had already rolled his eyes and fell under the table with a bang, unconscious.
"What's wrong with you? You didn't know how to control your strength." Qu Weiyin stood up, frowned, and said reproachfully.
Luo Jinxiao scratched her head. She just couldn't stand the way Chang Siyu was circling around Qu Weiyin. She couldn't control herself for a moment. She looked at Chang Siyu who fell to the ground and swallowed guiltily.
"Junior Master, I didn't mean it..." she said in a low voice.
"How could you not do it on purpose?" Qu Weiyin glared at her.
"Okay, I did it on purpose. Can't you see that he has bad intentions towards you?" Luo Jinxiao drooped his eyes, looking unhappy.
"Then you don't have to..."
Qu Weiyin was interrupted by Luo Jinxiao before she could finish her words. Luo Jinxiao reached out and pulled her over, all the way to the table of the Wuhui Sect disciples, and pressed her to sit on the empty chair.
With Qu Weiyin appearing beside them, all the disciples immediately sat up straight, their eyes on the nose and their noses on the heart, no one dared to look around randomly.
"I cannot tolerate anyone who has ill intentions towards Junior Master Uncle." Luo Jinxiao said in a low voice. She bent down and looked at Qu Weiyin. Her eyes were like the deep sea, deep and gentle.
"I'll go clean up." Without waiting for Qu Weiyin to respond, she turned and left, dragging Chang Siyu out the door. No one dared to stop her.
Qu Weiyin was still standing there in a daze. She suddenly let out a long breath, biting her red lips tightly with her pearly teeth, and her eyes were filled with a chaotic and complicated emotion.
Several disciples stood there motionless for a while, and Ke Tao finally spoke: "Master Qu, your face is so red."
Qu Weiyin raised her eyes, glared at him fiercely, and gritted her teeth and said, "Shut up."
Several people were startled and immediately lowered their heads, no one dared to say another word.
Qu Weiyin then stretched out her five slender white fingers and gently touched her hot face, her phoenix eyes slightly closed.
