Qu Weiyin put down the teacup, and suddenly felt her heart beating like a drum, and she couldn't calm down no matter what. At the same time, a surge of anger rose up, and the depression in her heart became even more serious.
"Is she crazy?" Qu Weiyin asked sternly. She was afraid that she had made a mistake and wanted to ask Qiongqi in detail. However, facing Qiongqi's innocent expression, who was only thinking about eating, she was too embarrassed to ask after a while.
"Wait a moment, I'm going to take a rest." Qu Weiyin tried her best to act normal, got up and went into the inner room, and sat down on the bed.
The bed was tidy and clean, and there seemed to be the scent of Luo Jinxiao still lingering on it.
Qu Weiyin sat there in a daze for a while. She just couldn't believe that Luo Jinxiao, who had said those words to her yesterday, went to practice dual cultivation with someone else today.
Moreover, dual cultivation is strictly prohibited in Wuhui Sect.
But if the other party is the sect leader, it will be useless no matter who stops him.
Does Luo Jinxiao really have the guts to do this? She wouldn't be so stupid as to...
Qu Weiyin clutched the bed board beneath her. For a moment, she was not sure whether Luo Jinxiao was so stupid.
I have really lost my mind, Qu Weiyin thought.
Could it be that Luo regretted it when he woke up tonight
Qu Weiyin sat there feeling uneasy. She didn't want to practice anymore, nor did she have the mind to think about anything else. Luo Jinxiao's face kept popping up in her mind and couldn't be shaken off.
"We have to go and take a look. What if that guy has been cheated?" Qu Weiyin said to herself. She walked out of the room quickly, and her figure turned into a golden light and disappeared.
Qiongqi turned his head and watched Qu Weiyin running away. His face wrinkled with anger, and the cow he had caught flew away again.
Her stomach was growling with hunger, but she couldn't eat anyone, so she was very annoyed. So she strolled out again, thinking about what she could eat in the mountains.
Along the way, many disciples thought she was cute, smiled at her warmly, and even reached out to touch her head. But in Qiongqi's eyes, these people were all meat in the bowl, and he was salivating at the sight of them.
But if you eat it, your owner will be angry.
So Qiongqi was torn between eating humans and not eating them. She was so hungry that she felt dizzy and dazed. Suddenly, a white and tender hand came up in front of her. She opened her mouth wide and bit it.
The owner of the hand let out an ear-piercing scream, quickly pulled his hand back, held it in his arms, and angrily said, "You want to eat me? You're biting so hard!"
The person who came was Tang Lan'er. She covered her white and tender hands that had never been touched by women, and tears came out of her eyes due to the pain.
"Aren't you the little girl beside Luo Jinxiao? How come she abandoned you?" Ever since Tang Lan'er witnessed Luo Jinxiao kissing Qu Weiyin, she gets angry whenever this name is mentioned, and said fiercely.
"I'm so hungry." Qiongqi's round eyes drooped, looking extremely pitiful.
"Just starve." Tang Lan'er turned and left.
Qiongqi frowned. The human smell was so fragrant. It had not touched human flesh for several years and now its mouth was watering at the smell.
Tang Lan'er had only taken two steps when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. She held the sword and screamed loudly, scaring away a flock of birds.
When she turned around, she saw Qiongqi biting her shoulder with bared teeth, his whole body hanging on her.
"Do you really want to eat people? Get off my way. I'll take you to eat meat. I'll take you to eat meat, okay?" Tang Lan'er was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face. She finally managed to pull the Qiongqi down.
"You and Luo Jinxiao are trying to kill me." She said, wiping her tears.
———
Qu Weiyin fell from mid-air, rolling up the petals on the tree and landing with them, soft and dreamy.
With a heavy heart, she slowly walked to the bamboo door, put her hand on it, hesitated for a long time, and then knocked lightly on the door frame.
No one answered the first time. The bamboo door slowly opened the second time, and the old woman appeared behind the door with a kind smile.
"Miss Qu, are you looking for the sect leader?" the old woman asked tremblingly.
Qu Weiyin hummed, and then asked, "Is Luo Jinxiao here?"
"Yes, yes. But they are practicing together now and should not be disturbed. The sect leader may not be able to see you. Why don't you come in and wait for a moment?" said the old woman.
When Qu Weiyin heard this, she felt as if her heart was suddenly tightened, and it felt heavy and she couldn't lift it up. She originally wanted to go in and take a look, but as soon as she took a step, she became timid.
"No need. Wait for Luo Jinxiao to come out and tell her that I came to see her." Qu Weiyin said, turned and left.
Halfway through the journey, she said again: "No need to tell her."
The old woman held the door and looked at her back. She felt that the girl was walking alone among the petals, and she looked pitifully thin.
Qu Weiyin didn't know where she was going. She walked out of the flower forest and headed into the mountains, strolling aimlessly.
She summoned the Crescent Moon and Star Sword and swung it fiercely at a tree that was blocking her way, cutting it off at the root. She then gathered her spiritual power and chopped at another tree. With two loud bangs, dust filled the surroundings.
Qu Weiyin then lowered her head to hide the water stain that slid down her face.
"Are you blaming me?" Qu Weiyin whispered to herself.
Now that Luo Jinxiao is really gone, she is so sad that she wants to die, especially when that scene appears in her mind, she feels like her heart and lungs are burning with anger and the pain is unbearable.
Qu Weiyin stared at the mess on the ground for a while, and suddenly she felt a pain in her heart. She leaned over and spat out a mouthful of blood. The bloody smell filled her mouth, and the demonic energy surged in her body, unable to be suppressed.
Luo Jinxiao had no idea what was happening. With the help of the sect leader, she practiced for a day and a night. The silver light merged with the morning light outside, becoming gradually brighter and brighter. Only then did she put down her hands, feeling refreshed.
"Thank you, Master." She smiled brightly, rolled up her sleeves, and exposed her fair arms to dissipate heat.
"Miss Luo is truly a genius in cultivating immortals. In just one night, she has shown signs of breaking through to the Tribulation Period." The old woman handed over a bowl of tea and looked at Luo Jinxiao with loving eyes.
"That's also because of the good guidance of the Sect Master." Luo Jinxiao said shyly, raising his head and drinking the tea.
"Would you like something to eat?" the sect leader asked softly. After Luo Jinxiao came, she lost her aloof and secluded demeanor, and was replaced by the smell of worldly life.
So the old woman is very willing for Luo to spend more time with the Sect Master tonight.
"No need, I've been fasting in the mountains." Luo Jinxiao said.
"Then you can eat. The joy of delicious food is incomparable." The sect leader chuckled and waved his hand to ask the old woman to bring a plate of cakes.
Luo Jinxiao paused, knowing that Zhao Zhao must have said this before, and did not refuse. He happily put a bite into his mouth, then smiled and said, "It's delicious."
After staying with the Sect Master for a while, Luo Jinxiao estimated that Elder Liu's anger should have subsided, so she said goodbye and left. When the old woman saw her off, she couldn't help but secretly hold her back and said to her, "Miss Qu came to see you yesterday."
"Master Junior, you came here to look for me?" Luo Jinxiao looked flustered, "You are not here to beat me up, are you?"
"No, she was very calm, but a little weird. The girl looked very sad when she left." The old woman shook her head and sighed.
Why was Qu Weiyin sad? Was it because of me? Luo Jinxiao was confused for a moment, and at the same time, worry gradually spread.
"Thank you, mother-in-law. I'm leaving first." She waved her hand, ran a few steps quickly, and her figure disappeared among the flying petals.
The old woman raised her head tremblingly, looking at the pink and white petals that were almost transparent in the sunlight. Her withered body slowly moved and walked into the depths of the forest.
"You need to water them more. The master likes these flowers the most..."
Luo Jinxiao flew into Hanyun Pavilion on his sword, and looked around but couldn't find anyone. He became more and more uneasy. He then searched Wuhui Gate and asked everywhere, but still no one had seen Qu Weiyin.
She could only wander aimlessly around Wuhui Mountain, but there was no trace of Qu Weiyin anywhere. She even went to Nandou Peak, but it was freezing cold and deserted.
She was becoming more and more anxious, but she couldn't figure out what could have happened to Qu Weiyin. Everything was normal last night.
Luo Jinxiao even mobilized Lu Fanzhi and others to search for her, but there was still no trace of Qu Weiyin. It was not until the evening that they gathered again at the gate of Wuhui Gate, and everyone shook their heads.
"Luo Jinxiao, did you really just kiss Junior Master Qu that night and didn't do anything else?" Yan Ying asked.
"What else can I do?" Luo Jinxiao said angrily. She held her forehead with one hand, her mind spinning rapidly, thinking about where Qu Weiyin might go.
"That's hard to say. What did you do to make Junior Master Qu avoid you like this?"
"Yanying, stop talking nonsense!" Luo Ning interrupted her and glared at her fiercely.
"Since we have searched all over Wuhui Sect, and Junior-Master Qu is unlikely to go out at this time, she is most likely in the mountains. But Wuhui Mountain is not big enough to accommodate people," Lu Fanzhi pondered.
There was no room for people in the mountains. Luo Jinxiao frowned and thought about it. Suddenly, an idea came to him. Without saying a word, he ran up the mountain.
The forest was very dark at dusk, but dry and cool. From time to time, some living creatures ran by, rustling and disturbing the eyes and ears.
Luo Jinxiao walked through the wide ravine under the cliff, taking one deep step and one shallow step. Two trees that had been chopped off appeared in front of him. He knew at a glance that it was the work of the magic sword.
Luo Jinxiao's heartbeat gradually became faster and faster. She found a nearby bush as if she was familiar with the place. Her skirt fluttered, and she turned into light and flew into the cave.
Familiar stones and underground undercurrents, the light and shadows on the rocks are dim, unable to illuminate the small trees, but the flowers on the trees are still there, emitting silvery-white light, like a few bright moons, making the entire cave look soft.
In the corner of the cave, a piece of red clothes was revealed.
Luo Jinxiao was startled. She ran over and stopped to take a look. It was indeed Qu Weiyin. She was lying on the ground on her side. Her snow-white arms looked even more delicate compared to the pitch-black rocks. The bright red scratches on her skin looked very shocking.
Luo Jinxiao helped her up from the ground, let her lie in his arms, then reached out to probe her immortal veins, but was nearly attacked by the evil spirit.
"How could this happen?" Luo Jinxiao was extremely anxious. She recited the Heart Sutra silently and infused her spiritual power into Qu Weiyin's body to heal her internal injuries.
After an unknown amount of time, Qu Weiyin finally opened her eyes. The color of her pupils in her gorgeous phoenix eyes was changing from light to dark.
Luo Jinxiao was startled. Before she could react, she was pushed away by Qu Weiyin. The woman in her arms struggled to hide away from her. She leaned on the sword with one hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where have you been?"
The voice was vicious, but it even had a tearful tone.
Luo Jinxiao was completely confused. She looked innocent and answered blankly, "I, I didn't go anywhere."
"It's a lie." Qu Weiyin said.
"I have been with the sect leader the whole time. Apart from that, I have really not gone anywhere else." Luo Jinxiao raised his hands to assure.
"I know." Qu Weiyin lowered her eyelashes and said weakly, then stood up with the help of the sword, "Are you satisfied?"
"I really don't understand what happened." Luo Jinxiao was overwhelmed. She felt that if she couldn't explain it clearly, she was about to burst into tears.
Qu Weiyin stared at her closely, his eyes filled with anger at first, then turned into desolation and loneliness.
Crystal clear tears filled her eyes and flowed down her skin which still had traces of blood. It was truly a beauty shedding tears, but the aura of this beauty was somewhat terrifying.
She suddenly said, "I know, I deserve it now."
"But if you really want to use this technique to practice, you can come to me."
"Why do you want to look for someone else, Luo Jinxiao." She whispered, and her tears suddenly burst out like a dam. She felt pain all over her body, her mind was in a mess, and all she could see was the person in front of her.
