But as soon as she leaned half of her body out of the window, she saw a young man in brocade clothes standing more than ten feet outside the room with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a smile.
"Hmph, Miaoyuan, where are you going with your old mother in such a hurry?"
You don't need to ask to know that the two people who just broke into the room and made a surprise attack were Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan. Yu Paopao was guarding outside the room to prevent Miao Yuan from escaping through the window.
When Miao Yuan saw that there were strong enemies inside and men in brocade clothes blocking him outside, he stopped talking nonsense. After whispering to his adoptive mother to hug him tightly, he held out the fairy sword with his backhand and prepared to fight his way out.
Even though Yu Paopao is Miao Yuan's junior sister, her talent and diligence are far superior to Miao Yuan's by a few percent. In addition, she and Miao Yuan have been together day and night for more than 20 years, and she knows her details very well.
Now, with intention and unintentional calculation, is Miaoyuan her opponent? It was only because he had to take his own identity into consideration and not dare to act too much, lest Miaoyuan would notice her true identity from the details, that he got entangled with her.
Seeing that several of his killing moves were predicted in advance by the mysterious man in front of him, he was always at a disadvantage. In the room, the water mist she had just laid was quickly disappearing, and she faced the risk of being attacked from both front and back.
Miao Yuan was cruel and pushed his adoptive mother to the corner. He decided to let go and break through Yu Paopao's obstruction, and took his adoptive mother out of here quickly.
Miao Yuan freed his hands and his attack immediately became fierce. However, after four or five moves, the remaining bubbles became a little weak.
"I don't care who you are or why you suddenly came to me. As long as my mother and I can be spared today, I, Miaoyuan, will treat this as if it never happened. Otherwise, I will release the master's signal and send me All the Emei disciples have been invited. When that time comes, even if my head is missing, you will not be able to leave alive."
Miaoyuan thought hard, but couldn't figure out who they were and why they would find him. With no choice but to threaten him, he could only threaten him in order to get a chance to escape.
"Hahaha, Master Miaoyuan, if you want to recruit help from the disciples, just send out a distress signal. But...before they arrive, your mother may not be alive."
Miao Yuan, who was trying his best to break through Yu Paopao's defense, suddenly heard the teasing laughter coming from behind him, and quickly held a few sword flowers to force Yu Paopao back. After turning around and looking back, he saw a man holding a sword in front of his adoptive mother's neck, looking at him with a smile.
Miaoyuan yelled: "How dare you!"
"Whether I dare or not depends on whether you are willing to cooperate or not." In order to achieve his goal, Mu Jingyu made a determined effort and used a slight force with his sword to print a blood stain on the old woman's neck.
"Yuan'er, leave quickly! Leave mother alone." The old woman thought it was Miao Yuan's enemies who came to seek revenge. His head slammed forward, and he was actually ready to sacrifice his life in order to protect his child.
"Oops!" Mu Jingyu was startled, but fortunately he reacted in time and withdrew the sword, so that the old woman could not commit suicide.
"Mom! No!" Miao Yuan shouted and silently threw away the weapon: "Who are you? What is the purpose of following me here?"
"Is this right?" Yu Paopao lowered his voice and released a stream of spiritual energy from his left hand, sucking Miao Yuan's sword into his palm.
"Don't worry, we don't have any ill intentions in coming here to look for you. As long as you don't cooperate at all, we will let you go as you please after the matter is over. As for your old mother, we won't hurt her in the slightest. .”
Yu Paopao walked up to the door and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation: "Now, it's up to Miaoyuan whether you believe us or not."
Her adoptive mother is in the hands of the enemy. Does she have any other options? After giving the three of them a cold look, he returned to the room first.
As the door closed, the fight that had just occurred seemed to have never happened. In addition, this house is far away from other villagers, so it will naturally not attract anyone's attention.
"You can tell me what you want to do now."
"Is this...you don't need to ask any more." Qin Yunchuan threw two pills, landed in front of Miaoyuan and said, "Please Miaoyuan and the old lady, take my pills and sleep. Wait until you come again When you wake up, it will be all over."
According to the plan of the three people, they decided to use pills to stun Miaoyuan. First, they didn't have the time or manpower to keep an eye on her. Secondly, in order to conceal Yu Paopao's identity, he didn't dare to let Miao Yuan notice anything strange. And letting her fall asleep completely is the best way.
After thinking for a moment, Miaoyuan decided to refuse, but seeing the three people's resolute attitudes, he knew there was no room for negotiation. For the safety of my mother, I had to take a pill.
"I hope what you are telling is the truth!" Miao Yuan also noticed that these three people seemed to have no ill intentions towards him. As for why she was being followed and what the purpose was, she didn't want to know. As long as I can save my mother's life, I don't care about much else.
"Master, don't worry, I will...I won't break my promise." Mu Jingyu almost let it slip, and hurriedly patted his chest and promised.
Miaoyuan raised his head and vomited the pill into his stomach. As soon as the pill entered her mouth, she felt that her limbs were weak, her head was dizzy, and a feeling of exhaustion swept through her body. Taking advantage of the moment when he was about to fall asleep, Miao Yuan knew in his heart that this elixir was indeed what he said, it would only make people fall asleep.
"Mom, don't worry, just take it in... Once you get some sleep... nothing will happen..." Before Miao Yuan could finish his words, he couldn't hold his eyelids any longer, so he lay down on the table and fell asleep.
The old woman fumbled and grabbed the pill, stuffed it into her mouth with a smile and said: "Yuan'er, Yuan'er, what if it's poison? As long as my mother can die with you, she can still have someone to take care of her down there."
The old woman's words made Mu Jingyu and the others feel sour in their noses, and they felt guilty at the same time. Although the three of them did not intend to take the lives of Miao Yuan and her son, they were still moved by their affection.
After both of them were asleep, Qin Yunchuan looked at Miaoyuan's eyelids to see if she had really fallen asleep, or if she had used her true energy to resist the power of the medicine and managed to get through it.
"Brother Qin, how's it going?"
"Don't worry, they both fell into a coma. They won't wake up for seven or eight days."
The elixir refined by Qin Yunchuan was modeled after the Xiuxi elixir that Gu Shaokong fed to Bi Yun. Although he had just practiced it in a hurry, with his extremely talented alchemy skills and the blessing of Mu Dao as his custom-made alchemy furnace, the efficacy of the medicine was already extraordinary.
"Without further ado, I will put on Senior Sister Miaoyuan's Taoist robe right now." Yu Paopao said as he took out the Emei Taoist robe from the cloth bag: "Jingyu, go to the nearby towns now and look for Senior Tai Er's Tianji Pavilion asked them to send someone to look after Senior Sister Miaoyuan. Junior Brother Qin, you stay here for now. After everything is arranged, wait for my news in Tianji Pavilion."
The three of them got busy according to the previous plan. In just a moment, Yu Paopao had put on the Emei Taoist robe, and with the help of Mu Jingyu, he used Bairong powder to dress up like Miao Yuan.
"You two, do you think I look like this?" Yu Paopao spun around a few times and opened his arms for the two of them to look at carefully.
"Like, exactly the same!" Mu Jingyu looked at Yu Paopao, and then at Miao Yuan who was leaning on the table. If he hadn't personally helped Yu Paopao disguise himself as Miao Yuan, he really wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"Then I'll go look for the senior sisters first. If it's later, I'll have to make them suspicious." After Yu Paopao said, he put away his smiling look and changed to Miao Yuan's cold look. .
"Senior Sister Yu, be careful in everything." Qin Yunchuan looked stunned and whispered.
Even if Yu Paopao pretends to be Miao Yuan and learns it so vividly, it is difficult to tell the truth from the false. But she went deep into Mount Emei alone and faced many seniors with advanced cultivation in the Emei Sect. Qin Yunchuan was really afraid that she would accidentally reveal her weakness with one move.
By then, not only would she, Yu Paopao, be in danger, but the two of them would not be able to sneak into Mount Emei and steal Tianxiang wood smoothly.
"Don't worry, I promise I won't let you down." Yu Paopao flashed and walked out of the room as he spoke.
The Yuelong Temple where she and Miao Yuan were located was responsible for investigating the safety inside and outside Mount Emei. Today happened to be the day when Miaoyuan and a group of fellow apprentices went out to patrol the outskirts of Mount Emei for a few days and were preparing to return to the apprenticeship.
After dark, they will meet up not far away. Yu Paopao was worried that arriving late would arouse suspicion among others. That's why he left in a hurry.
After Yu Paopao had gone far away, Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan waited for a while to make sure that Miao Yuan was completely asleep and would not wake up suddenly. He left Qin Yunchuan to guard him while he quickly searched for nearby towns and notified Tianji. The people from the pavilion came to guard Miao Yuan instead of Qin Yunchuan.
According to his previous memory, Yu Paopao finally arrived at the place to join the Emei disciples at ten minutes after sunset.
"Senior Sister Miaoyuan, you are finally here. The sisters have been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come here, we will prepare to scatter in search of you." After seeing Yu Paopao's figure from a distance, one of the Emei disciples in the lead said He muttered something dissatisfied.
"Let's go." Yu Paopao imitated Miao Yuan's voice and responded in a low voice. After that, regardless of their dissatisfied looks, they kept walking towards Mount Emei.
Although Yu Paopao only replied with two words, Miao Yuan had always shown himself to others in the Emei Sect with a cold face for so many years. Therefore, other people don't feel strange either.
This place is not too far from Mount Emei. A group of more than ten people walked down quickly. In just over an hour, they saw the ancient and dignified gate of Mount Emei.
During this period, a group of Emei disciples chatted non-stop, discussing what they had seen and heard in the past few days. Of course, they were also in the wine shop with Yu Paopao and the other three, and those people said similar things.
Yu Paopao just walked ahead without saying a word. Their expressions were all focused on what they said. Naturally, they wanted to hear whether Senior Uncle Sumian had revealed the matter between it and Fang Dingbo to the disciples.
I don’t know if it’s because Master Sumian hasn’t had time to say anything yet, or because the matter is too important and these junior disciples don’t know about it. Anyway, after listening to the whole story, Yu Paopao didn't see any of them mention this matter, so he felt a little relieved.
After returning to the Emei Sect, everyone first reported the situation to Master Wuyue, the host of Yuelong Temple, and then returned to their residences to rest. They haven't had a good night's sleep for more than ten days since they were ordered by their teacher to go out on patrol. As for things like washing up, don’t even think about it. For a group of women who are still in their prime, this is simply a form of torture.
After coming out of Yuelong Temple, Yu Paopao's back was covered with fragrant sweat. Although she was quite confident in her current appearance, she remained reticent from beginning to end so as not to be taken aback by Master Wuyue. But the tension in his heart still made his whole body stiff, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he left Yuelong Temple.
According to the rules of Yuelong Temple, this group of disciples will take a day's rest after returning from their tour. Only on the third day will they take over from the previous sisters and shoulder the heavy responsibility of patrolling the internal security of the Emei Sect.
It was this opportunity that Yu Paopao was waiting for. Taking advantage of the opportunity to patrol in Mount Emei, he wanted to find a way to get the key to Baozhai'an and prepare for Mu Jingyu and the others to go in and steal the Tianxiang wood. They also need to arrange a hiding place for them to sneak in to avoid being discovered.
Therefore, for three days in a row, Yu Paopao's mood was in his throat, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
As for the several times she thought of Master Su Xi and asked her to take her to the head Master Wu Ming to intercede and grant a marriage to Fang Dingbo, she decided not to talk about it for the time being and wait until the matter here was settled.
