At this moment, it was almost dark. Most of the outer disciples in Shaoyang Peak have gone back to their rooms to rest. Only a few people are still practicing Jiuhua Sword Technique in the mountains.
Shen Mengdie and Mu Jingyu searched several places frequented by disciples in Shaoyang Peak, but found no trace of Su Yingying. Finally, I found them outside Zhishou Hall, and happened to meet Qin Yunchuan and Zhou Yan. After the four people met, they all found nothing.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel anxious, "Jingyu, haven't you seen Yingying? Where did this damn girl go?"
Shen Mengdie comforted her, "Sister Zhou, don't be too anxious. Maybe Sister Su just had something urgent suddenly and didn't have time to tell me."
Although Shen Mengdie comforted everyone like this, everyone knew in their hearts that Su Yingying had always been calm in doing things. Even if something urgent happened suddenly, she would tell Shen Mengdie who lived with her, or Zhou Yan, who was close to her. , will definitely not disappear for no reason. Besides, in this Jiuhua Mountain, could something really happen that would cause Su Yingying to leave without saying goodbye?
Qin Yunchuan said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's not make any guesses here. It's better to look elsewhere. Otherwise, it will be hard to tell when the two coaches find out that she is missing later."
Even though Su Yingying is the granddaughter of Master Ling Yang, she still has to abide by all the regulations in Shaoyang Peak. If there is a slight violation, the punishment will be more severe than that of ordinary outer disciples.
Mu Jingyu said, "Without further delay, let's go look for it separately." As he spoke, he pointed to an area to the east and said, "Brother Qin, you and Senior Sister Zhou go to the Xiuxian Cliff, the martial arts training ground, etc. in the east. We will search for it somewhere. Xiaodie and I will go to the Guanshou Pavilion and Zhixin Forest in the west to look for it. Regardless of whether we find it or not, we will return here in half an hour."
The four of them finished their discussion and did not dare to waste any more time. They each walked towards the agreed place, carefully searching for Su Yingying's whereabouts.
Although Shaoyang Peak is not too small, it is just restricted by the sect rules. These outer disciples cannot move around easily. Once discovered, they will be dealt with according to the sect's rules.
Mu Jingyu and Shen Mengdie walked towards the west along the mountain road paved with rocks. The sky was getting dark now, making it difficult to see clearly what was happening in the distance. The two of them shouted Su Yingying's name in a low voice while searching. It's just that the fields are empty now, and basically all the disciples have returned to their residences to rest.
At this moment, two figures appeared on the mountain road, walking towards the two of them. After Shen Mengdie saw it from a distance, she called out in a low voice, "Hey, the one in front is Su..."
Before Shen Mengdie could finish her words, she realized that she didn't look like a woman, so she quickly stopped talking.
"Junior Sister Shen, are you talking?"
After the two people heard Shen Mengdie's voice, they couldn't help but quicken their steps and walked towards Mu Jingyu and the others.
When Shen Mengdie saw the person clearly, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on her face, "Senior Brother Shi, Senior Brother Zhao, it turns out it's you."
The visitors were Shi Jiang and Zhao Zhengming, both disciples of Zhishoutang along with Mu Jingyu. Maybe he went for a stroll in the mountains after dinner and was about to rush back to his home.
Shi Jiang, who was standing on the left, glanced at Mu Jingyu and asked with concern, "I thought it was who was calling us, but it turned out to be Junior Sister Shen and Junior Brother Mu. Why are they still walking around in the mountains so late?"
"Did the two senior brothers meet Sister Su along the way?"
Shen Mengdie and the other two searched for a long time in the mountains, but not only did they not find Su Yingying, they didn't even see her other sect members. Now that they saw the two people, Shen Mengdie wanted to ask them to see if they had seen Su Yingying.
Mu Jingyu frowned, because he was in the Zhishou Hall with these two people, so he knew that like Han Yao, they were also descendants of two small families in Jiuzhou. I usually have a close relationship with Han Yao and others. Although I haven't fallen into collusion with them, I can say that I have a good relationship with them.
Because of Su Yingying, Han Yao and Mu Jingyu have become incompetent. This is no longer a secret matter in Zhishou Hall and Zunyi Hall. Even Fan He and Wu Kangnian have heard about it. Seeing the two of them now, Mu Jingyu naturally didn't want to talk too much with them.
They originally wanted to stop Shen Mengdie and ask them about Su Yingying's whereabouts, but the two searched all over Shaoyang Peak and never found Su Yingying's whereabouts, so they had to let Shen Mengdie ask.
Zhao Zhengming, who was standing on the right, smiled and said, "So you are still in the mountains so late. You are looking for the whereabouts of Junior Sister Su."
Hearing his tone, Shen Mengdie seemed to know Su Yingying's whereabouts and said happily, "Senior Brother Zhao, have you seen Sister Su!"
Zhao Zhengming nodded and replied, "When I came back from the mountain with Brother Shi just now, I happened to see Senior Sister Su and Senior Brother Han coming down the mountain."
Mu Jingyu's eyes wrinkled unconsciously, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He asked in a deep voice, "Do you think Senior Sister Su and Han Yao are together?"
Han Yao has been plotting against Su Yingying ever since he entered Jiuhua Mountain. It's just that in the past two years, Su Yingying had long been tired of his persistent pursuit, and she had lost face by him several times in front of everyone. In addition, everyone also knew that Su Yingying had already had feelings for Mu Jingyu since Mu Jingyu entered Zhishou Hall. Only then did Han Yao give up the thought and stop pestering her.
But why is Su Yingying with Han Yao today? And what about going down the mountain with him after dark?
Although Mu Jingyu didn't have any affection for Su Yingying in his heart, in the past three years, Su Yingying had helped take care of him many times, and Mu Jingyu was very grateful. Even if he doesn't want to have too many emotional entanglements with Su Yingying, he doesn't want to let Han Yao, a bastard, hurt Su Yingying easily.
Shen Mengdie also looked a little anxious after hearing that Su Yingying and Han Yao were together. Although she couldn't understand why Su Yingying, who had always hated Han Yao, was with him. But she was still a little worried about Su Yingying, fearing that she would fall into Han Yao's trap.
"Two senior brothers, where did you see Sister Su and Han Yao? Where did they go? Do you know what happened to Senior Brother Han looking for Sister Su?"
Shen Mengdie was worried that Han Yao would be unfavorable to Su Yingying, so she asked a series of questions.
Shi Jiang replied, "When the two of us came back from the bottom of the mountain, we met the two of them on the way. Senior Sister Su followed Senior Brother Han and seemed to go along the mountain road in the direction of Guanxin Pavilion. We met the two of them. When I arrived, I even said hello to Senior Sister Su, but Senior Sister Su seemed a little worried and followed closely behind Senior Brother Han. After seeing us, she followed Senior Brother Han away without saying much."
Shen Mengdie nervously grabbed Mu Jingyu's arm and whispered, "Brother Mu, you said Han Yao would suddenly call Sister Su away, but is there any emergency? Besides, if there is really an emergency, she should also Just tell me. You will never follow Han Yao without saying a word. Moreover, it was getting late now, and Han Yao took her towards the empty Guanxin Pavilion. I'm scared, I'm scared..." Shen Mengdie said at the end, she didn't dare to say any more.
This Guanxin Pavilion is located at the west foot of Shaoyang Peak, built on a small isolated peak halfway up the mountain. Because the location is relatively remote, and the road to get there is a bit steep, few people usually go there. It was getting late now, so how could Su Yingying follow Han Yao wherever she went? This had to worry Shen Mengdie.
Mu Jingyu patted the back of Shen Mengdie's hand, telling her not to worry too much. Then he clasped his hands slightly and said to the two of them, "Thank you two senior brothers. Then we won't delay your return. Xiaodie and I will say goodbye now."
"Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
Seeing that Mu Jingyu and the others were anxious, Shi Jiang and Zhao Zhengming didn't ask too much. Nowadays, everyone is well aware of their relationship. Now that they knew that Su Yingying followed Han Yao to the Guanxin Pavilion, they knew that Mu Jingyu and Shen Mengdie were going to chase Han Yao and the others.
Even though Mu Jingyu's face looked as usual at the moment, he was even more anxious than Shen Mengdie. It was just that it was inconvenient to show off in front of Shi and Zhao, so he pretended to be indifferent.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, he held Shen Mengdie tightly with one hand and strode towards the Guanxin Pavilion.
Shi Jiang and Zhao Zhengming stood there, not leaving immediately, but staring closely at the retreating figures of Mu Jingyu. After they disappeared into the night, a sinister smile appeared on their faces.
Zhao Zhengming chuckled sinisterly and said, "Brother Shi, the fish has been hooked. Should we go back quickly and tell Yi Hong so that he can act quickly?"
This Yihong was originally a young man from a poor family. Although when he first entered Jiuhua Mountain, he also thought about practicing hard and making a name for himself in Jiuhua Mountain. However, this Jiuhua Mountain is a famous sect after all, and the disciples it recruits are not talented people. Even with his relatively good qualifications, he is still a bit average among these newbies.
Within a month, I realized that it was basically hopeless to get ahead in Jiuhua Mountain. Since then, Han Yao has continued to win over these young people with average qualifications, giving them generous gifts, and he has also secretly won over many young people. And it was at this time that Yi Hong was taken under Han Yao's wing.
And this man cooperated with Han Yao to teach Mu Jingyu some lessons in the pine forest when Mu Jingyu first entered Zhishou Hall. Fortunately, Qin Yunchuan took action in time, so Mu Jingyu was not tortured even more.
Nowadays, because Yi Hong is one of the most highly practiced among the young men secretly attracted by Han Yao, he usually has the trust of Han Yao.
When Shi Jiang saw that Mu Jingyu and the two figures had completely disappeared into the night and could no longer be seen, he nodded and replied, "Let's go. After they arrive at Guanxin Pavilion, we will almost arrive at the place where Mu Jingyu lives." It will take a lot of time for Yi Hong to sneak into his room and look for those pills. Therefore, there is not much time left for us, so we should leave quickly. If it breaks It will be difficult for you and me to explain Brother Han’s good deeds.”
Ever since Han Yao learned from Han Lin that Master Yunyang and Guo Qingshan had given Mu Jingyu three pills, he originally wanted to steal the three pills secretly so that Mu Jingyu would lose the opportunity to improve his cultivation level. , so that he cannot pass the three-year assessment. He was completely reduced to an outer disciple of Shaoyang Peak and was even kicked out of Jiuhua Mountain.
But Han Lin came up with a more vicious strategy, which was to poison these three pills. After Mu Jingyu took the elixir, he waited until the day of the assessment to induce the poison.
Although the Han family is located in Xihan Yuanzhou, it is not too far away from Guixiao Youzhou in the northwest. He usually has a lot of contacts with the tribes in Guixu Youzhou, so naturally the poisonous things unique to the Miao tribe in Guixi Youzhou are indispensable in the family.
Although Guixiao Youzhou and the other eight divine states belong to the same Kyushu, it is because Guixiao Youzhou is located in the remote northwest. The surviving sects and families among them practice many strange ways and ghost tricks. It is different from the Taoism practiced by the righteous sects headed by the nine sects such as Lingjue Temple, Yukun Palace, and Wujixu. In addition, these strange sects and strange sects often contain evil tricks and dark techniques. Since ancient times, they have been shamed by these sects who claim to be famous and righteous.
Although the Han family also belongs to a well-known and decent sect, they still get closer to Guixi Youzhou because they are so close to each other. It's just that most of the sects in this ghostly Youzhou are shamed by other famous sects, so the Han family naturally won't let them know about it.
