In the secret room, under the gaze of the three women, Mu Qing opened his mouth and was about to take the elixir. Huaifenghua suddenly turned around and looked at the door. His movements froze and he stood up.
"It should be Ning Chu." The sound of slight footsteps stopped suddenly outside the door. Huaicao Shi looked at Huaifenghua and asked.
Because of Zhang Shanshan, she didn't even tell Xu Zuo and Bai Jiahe about refining the Jie Dao Dan antidote for Mu Qing. Ning Chu should be the only one who could find them directly.
The footsteps stopped for just a moment before the amplified sound of the secret room door rang. Huaifenghua frowned slightly and walked towards the door. His apprentice knows best. Ah Chu has always known the seriousness of the matter, but he was obviously a little panicked at this time.
As soon as the door opened, everyone inside saw that it was Ning Chu who appeared at the door. They breathed a sigh of relief and then picked it up again. Ning Chu wanted to know the priorities of the matter. If nothing serious had happened, he would never have opened the stone door in such a hurry.
"Master, uncle!"
When Ning Chu saw the mess in the secret room, he only knew that the master and the others had failed to make alchemy again. Although there was some regret in his eyes, his slightly anxious face became slightly calmer.
"It's a good thing you're not busy right now!"
"What happened?" Huai Caoshi walked to the door and asked softly when seeing no one behind Ning Chu.
Ning Chu glanced at Mu Qing and Zhang Shaoyao, nodded lightly towards them, and said in a solemn voice: "Hidden Valley has sent people, six of them in total, and Suzaku is also here."
"Suzaku?" Huaifenghua turned back and glanced at Mu Qing, her eyes wandering thoughtfully, "It's been a few days since Huangsong Valley."
Huai Cao Shi said: "Almost ten days."
Ning Chu led everyone to the ground and said, "Suzaku said he wanted to see Mu Qing, but he didn't say much else."
She was also in Huangsong Valley at the time, and glanced at Mu Qing with a little worry, "It must be because of that plan. I remember they only gave Mu Qing ten days to rest."
Mu Qing looked at the girl who was following him, thinking of all the things in Suzaku City, and for a moment he felt complicated and unspeakable, with expectations and a hint of preparedness and confusion.
He narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, trying to look calm and calm, but his voice failed to respond for a moment and sounded low: "We are just going to Suzaku City together, senior sister Ning, don't worry."
Ning Chu sighed softly. His master often said that true freedom is not about doing what you want, but about not doing what you don't want to do.
The world is a network with tight seams. It is difficult for people to do as they please, and it is even harder for people to refuse without violating their original intention.
Ning Chu didn't know that Mu Qing's mentality was no longer as repulsive as before, so he suddenly said: "Master, why don't you go up with us?"
Huaifenghua was stunned for a moment, then realized that her disciple had good intentions, but at this low level, she had no ability to overturn the situation whether she was awake or not.
"It's good to hide your strength and have an extra trump card." Huai Cao Shi seemed to agree with Ning Chu's idea, but he quickly remembered something and asked with a frown: "Where are they now? Where are the outer disciples?" Area?"
"Yes. Junior Brother Xu and Junior Sister Jiahe are dealing with them."
Ning Chu's clear eyes narrowed slightly, as if recalling the momentum he saw from those people, and said in a dry voice: "I won't talk about Suzaku's realm, but the other five people... I can't feel any of their realms. come out."
Mu Qing's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were clear, and he said coldly: "Does that mean you have to be at the top of the first rank at the very least?"
Ning Chu was at the pinnacle of the second-level spiritual life, and an ordinary first-level person should not be able to hide it from her perception.
Huaifenghua shook his head and said: "If you want to overwhelm Ning Chu's perception, those who are good at concealing their own aura in invisible vision can also do it."
Huai Caoshi was thinking about the previous question at this time, and said with a wry smile: "Since they have already met with Jiahe, the news that Junior Sister has woken up cannot be hidden."
"Why?" The girl who had been walking on her little feet and trying to listen to everyone's words turned her head and asked. Although she was vaguely aware that Junior Sister Jiahe had a crush on her brother, she did not believe that the other party would betray her like this.
Ning Chu pondered for a moment, but nodded in agreement with Huai Cao Shi's statement, "When I returned to the valley, I happened to meet Jianwen and Zhang Shanshan looking for Junior Brother Xu and the others. They may be together at the moment."
Huai Caoshi said: "On the day Senior Sister broke through, that brat Bai Jianwen took Zhang Shanshan into the valley to look for me, and happened to bump into Senior Sister. I have always suspected that Zhang Shanshan, a woman, does not really treat Jianwen."
At the end of the secret passage, there is skylight seeping through the gap. First there is a curved gauze curtain, and the exit is in front.
Huaifenghua saved her worries and handed Mu Qing a delicate jade bottle, "The elixir is still on you, so cover up its scent."
The grade of the Passage Pill is no lower than that of the Wanhua Pill, so it cannot be ruled out that there are no masters with super-sense abilities among the people coming from Hidden Valley.
Mu Qing understood the true meaning of the passage pill and did not dare to be careless.
When Ning saw his master being so cautious for the first time, he remembered a tall and burly man among the six, and reminded everyone: "Except for Zhuque, among the six, there is a tall man who may be the strongest, because I saw his posture when talking to Suzaku. equal."
A person on the same level as Suzaku...
Huaifenghua nodded slightly. She thought a little far. Naturally, such a lineup would not be used to deal with the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, but if it was aimed at the City Lord's Mansion, what kind of opponent would make Hidden Valley send out such a team? line-up.
Will he face the imperial army directly in the future? This can be dangerous.
She looked at Mu Qing and Zhang Shaoyao. Mu Qing seemed to understand her gaze and looked at Zhang Shaoyao.
The girl's face turned red with anger for a moment, and she snorted: "So what if these people all go to Suzaku City? Since I can't defeat them, I will definitely get along well with them. Brother, you don't want to knock me out now." , and then left with that Suzaku, right?"
Being knocked unconscious will not cause...
Mu Qing was told his thoughts and looked at Huaifenghua for help, only to see Huaifenghua lowering his head and thinking about something.
Ning Chu opened the mechanism at the entrance of the secret passage, and the sky suddenly brightened. She raised her hands to cover her eyebrows, and said thoughtfully: "It is already past the afternoon time, and the six people from Hidden Valley may stop in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley all night. I think they are Zhen Zhan, if we really want to go to Suzaku City to cause trouble, it would be really dangerous for Junior Sister to follow..."
"No! I'm going!" The girl suddenly became angry, her eyes widened and covered with layers of moisture. Seeing everyone looking at her in silence, she couldn't help lowering her head and begging softly: "I won't become my brother. It’s cumbersome, I won’t cause any trouble this time, I… I just want to go back and see the place where I was when I was a child.”
"Then go with your brother." Huaifenghua walked over and hugged the girl into her arms, patted her shoulder, lowered her head and whispered in the girl's ear: "I know, you and your brother went together in that alley. It’s been twelve years since I’ve lived in this place, so I can go back and see it.”
"Yeah." Zhang Shaoyao sniffed and buried his little face into the master's soft chest.
Are you acting a little bit arrogant?
She couldn't explain clearly. From the moment she discovered that her master and the others had silently supported her previous relaxed and comfortable life, and when her brother went to Yellow Pine Valley and left her and the comatose master behind, one of them became powerful enough to help As soon as everyone thought, a seed quickly took root and sprouted in her heart.
She doesn't want to remember the past, she wants to participate in cruel things that even make people unhappy. Only in that way can she become stronger?
Mu Qing stood aside in silence. Many times, he felt that what he did was for the good of his sister, but it seemed that he never thought about whether the other party thought what he did was a good thing.
Zhang Shaoyao raised his head from Huaifenghua's arms, just in time to see Mu Qing, he snorted and turned away.
"Okay, don't be angry with your brother. He really doesn't know how to make girls happy."
Huaifenghua chuckled softly, with green light flowing in her eyes. She had quickly made up her mind in her heart. When she raised her eyes, she was met by Huaicao Shi.
Huai Caoshi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked meaningfully: "Decided?"
Senior sister, have you guessed it?
Huaifenghua blinked, hummed slightly, and said apologetically: "When Mu Qing and Shaoyao go to Suzaku City, I should be in seclusion for a while, and I may have to ask my senior sister to take care of everything in Wanhua Valley."
"Since I shamelessly returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, it is naturally my wish to do something for the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. But you..."
"I have been refining alchemy with my senior sister recently and have benefited a lot, so I have gained something."
Huai Caoshi walked up to Huai Caoshi, took her hand and squeezed it.
"Are you all excited and restless after your breakthroughs now?" Huai Caoshi thought worriedly, looking at the woman in front of him and admonishing: "You just broke through now, are your realm stable? It is not a good idea to blindly pursue the improvement of your realm. Good thing."
Huaifenghua smiled slightly: "Senior sister, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
Huai Cao Shi couldn't stand it, but seeing that he couldn't stop Hua Feng Hua from "retreating", he reluctantly agreed softly.
Hearing that Huaifenghua had enlightened and wanted to retreat, Mu Qing was quite happy at first, but at this time, she frowned and said seriously, "Auntie, what my uncle said makes sense. I still have it in Wanhua Valley. If you are It may be bad to be too hasty for success.”
Huaifeng raised his eyebrows and said to himself: "It seems that the little guy is really not good at guessing women's thoughts, but...how can he win the favor of two girls?"
"I am the elder or you are the elder. In terms of cultivation years, I am older than you by an unknown number of years. Do I know how to practice steadily?" She glared at Mu Qing, "Jiahe and the others probably won't be able to handle it, so don't waste any more time. "
Ning Chu was standing outside the exit of the secret passage and had been watching it quietly for a while.
She suddenly asked: "Master, do you need my help to prepare anything for you to go out this time?"
Huaifenghua Xunsheng raised her eyes and couldn't help but squint.
I saw Ning Chu standing gracefully, her slim and slender figure against the skylight, as noble as a goddess who came to the world.
Huaifenghua paid attention to her position in front of her senior sister. At this moment, she was praising her own eye for recruiting disciples. When she walked to Ning Chu, she realized that this disciple was staring at her with questioning eyes, and she couldn't help but have a wry smile on her lips. , said: "Ah Chu, you have more experience in going out these years than as a teacher, so it's up to you to prepare some necessary things."
Ning Chu hummed softly and looked at Mu Qing, "Go and protect your junior sister."
