The man outside the door heard Mo Li say this, but did not retreat. Instead, he said:
"Please, Miss, please open the door and let me go in to check."
Mo Li naturally refused to let him in:
"I am sleeping."
The people outside the door still refused to give up:
"Please miss, please don't make it difficult for us."
Mo Li looked a little angry:
"I told you, I'm already asleep. What on earth do you want to do in the middle of the night?"
The man replied:
"Miss, you'd better open the door and let us go in and take a look."
"Don't even think about it!"
"In this case, my subordinate will be offended!"
Hearing that the man seemed to really intend to force his way in, Mo Li said angrily:
"you dare!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound, the door was knocked open from the outside, and the door bolt was broken.
That man actually forced his way in!
As soon as the door opened, four or five people rushed in with a cheer.
The first person saw that Mo Li was fully clothed. Did he look like he was already asleep?
Knowing that she was lying before, she looked at Mo Li and ordered the others:
"Search!"
Immediately, several people spread out and explored every corner of the room.
Mo Li's face was full of anger. He raised his hand and used his magic weapon, pointed at the man and said sternly:
"Qianjinzi! You are so brave! Do you really think that my father is seriously injured and I can let you bully me?"
Seeing that Mo Li seemed to be about to take action, everyone in the room stopped and looked at the two people confronting each other.
The person called Qianjinzi was unmoved, his eyes did not shift even a little bit, and he drank:
"Who told you to stop? Keep searching!"
After speaking, he said to Mo Li:
"Miss, we are only thinking about your safety. If there is no one else in this room, I will apologize to the lady."
After saying that, regardless of being pointed at by Mo Li's magic weapon, he walked around her and walked towards the corner behind her where the light could not reach.
Mo Li suddenly panicked when he saw the direction Qian Jinzi was going. That was Bu Xiaotian's hiding place.
Seeing that Qianjinzi was one step away from reaching the corner, Mo Li shouted:
"Qian Jinzi, you have gone too far!"
As he spoke, the green leaf-shaped magic weapon in front of him suddenly turned into a ray of blue light and hit Qianjinzi.
Unexpectedly, Qianjinzi blocked Mo Li's magic weapon with a casual wave of his hand, and continued walking forward while saying:
"Miss, don't waste your efforts. If it were in the past, I would certainly not be your opponent, but now that your whole body's true energy has been blocked by 90%, it's impossible to hurt me."
Mo Li's magic weapon was controlled, and he was helpless, but he still managed to calmly curse:
"You don't take me seriously. When my father wakes up, I will make him destroy your cultivation and drive you out of the Medicine King Valley!"
Qian Jinzi had already walked to the corner. Regardless of Mo Li's yelling, a faint yellow light flashed in his hand, and a magic weapon that looked like a guillotine for cutting medicine appeared in his hand.
He concentrated on his luck, took a step forward, faced the darkness in the corner, and drank:
"come out!"
But what surprised him was that there was not even a single figure in this small corner that could only accommodate one person.
Qianjinzi turned around and looked at Mo Li in confusion. When he came over just now, he saw a flash of panic on Mo Li's face. He guessed that someone was hiding here, so he wanted to capture that person himself, but he didn't expect it. There's no one here at all.
When Mo Li saw Qian Jinzi's expression, he knew that he had not found Bu Xiaotian, and he felt relieved.
But she did not show the changes in her heart and said coldly:
"What? The search is over? Where is the person?"
At this time, everyone else had also finished searching, and found nothing.
Qian Jinzi's face was expressionless, and there was no look of disappointment on her face. She saluted Mo Li and said:
"Miss, I'm sorry! I was rude before!"
After speaking, he turned to the people standing behind him and said:
"let's go."
After Qianjinzi finished speaking, she led the others out of the door, but before she could reach the door, she heard Mo Li saying coldly from behind:
"Wait a minute! You guys broke in in the middle of the night and said you were looking for someone from outside, and now you want to walk away as if nothing happened?"
Qianjinzi stopped when Mo Li said something. After Mo Li finished speaking, he turned around and said:
"Miss, I just apologized."
Mo Li was unwilling to give up:
"What? Can you just break into my room and apologize?"
"What do you want, miss?"
"Since you like to be someone else's lackey, then get down on your knees and crawl out like a dog!"
The man clearly heard Mo Li humiliating him in this way, but there was still no look of anger or anger on his face, and he still said calmly:
"Miss, you know this is impossible."
"you……"
Qianjinzi was not angry, but Mo Li was even more angry. However, facing Qianjinzi like this, he could not say anything more, so he could only say angrily:
"Get out of here, everyone!"
Qianjinzi left the room with the remaining people.
After they left, Mo Li closed the door and found a table to block the door. Then he lowered his voice and said to the corner that Qian Jinzi had just explored:
"Xiaotian, come out, they have left."
After Mo Li finished speaking, he waited for a while but didn't get any response.
This was when she understood that Bu Xiaotian had really left, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Just when Mo Li was sitting on the bed in a daze, a deep man's voice sounded behind her:
"Are you really going to marry Tang Wenhu?"
Hearing this voice, Mo Li was startled and immediately stood up and looked behind him.
I saw a figure standing in the room at some point. This person was wearing a very large cloak that covered his whole body. Mo Li couldn't see his appearance, but she vaguely felt that this person was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere. .
Facing this mysterious man who suddenly appeared in her room, Mo Li looked wary, the magic weapon in her hand glowed with a faint green light, and asked:
"Who are you? Why are you in my room?"
"Don't you remember me? One year ago, Baiyang Village."
After hearing the last six words of this mysterious man, Mo Li had a flash of inspiration in his mind and immediately remembered where he had seen this person.
A year ago, when she was collecting medicine for Bu Xiaotian on the mountain outside Baiyang Village, this was the man who made her leave Bu Xiaotian.
Thinking of this, Mo Li was very surprised and confused, and asked again:
"Who are you? Why did you come to me?"
The man did not answer Mo Li's words. Instead, he deleted the original question again:
"You don't need to worry about who I am, I just want to know, are you really planning to marry Tang Wenhu?"
Seeing that the man refused to answer, Mo Li snorted coldly and said:
"none of your business?"
The man said:
"If you don't tell me, I will chop off that boy's head and use it as a wedding gift for you."
Although the words were threatening, there was still no fluctuation in his tone.
He said it in an understatement, but Mo Li felt like he was dying.
She didn't know whether what the mysterious man in front of her said was true or false, but just because he could quietly bypass the strict guards in the valley and appear here, this level of cultivation was definitely not simple!
And judging from his appearance, it seemed that he had been here a long time ago, but neither she nor Bu Xiaotian, nor Qian Jinzi and others who had just searched the room, even noticed his presence.
Mo Li didn't dare to gamble. She only felt deeply powerless in front of this man in black.
As if accepting his fate, Mo Li no longer concealed:
"What can I do? My father is in danger now. Everything in the valley is decided by the great elders. If I don't listen to them, I don't know how they will treat my father.
Moreover, the Tang family’s betrothal gift was a three-thousand-year-old purple ginseng plant, which was the only hope to save my father’s life.
So even if I knew they were just using me as a bargaining chip, I could only appoint them.
At worst, when I get the purple ginseng after I get married, I will kill myself. "
At the end of the sentence, a hint of determination appeared in Mo Li's eyes.
After Mo Li finished speaking, the man was silent for a moment and then said:
"Why must you die? Marrying into the Tang family and becoming the second young lady of the Tang family should be considered a good marriage, right?"
Now that she had said it out, Mo Li didn't want to hide anything anymore, or maybe she wanted to talk to someone in the first place, so she sneered:
"Ha! Second Young Mistress? Judging from your appearance, you should be a senior who has practiced cultivation for many years. Don't you know what kind of person Tang Wenhu, the second son of the Tang family, is?"
Mo Li originally thought that the mysterious man was asking questions knowingly, but unexpectedly he nodded and said:
"have no idea."
Mo Li didn't care whether he really didn't know or pretended not to know, he told the inside story sentence by sentence:
"Although Tang Wenhu is the second son of the Tang family in Xishu, he is as lustful as life, and he also likes to torture women. The women who fall into his hands will either be tortured to death by him, or they will commit suicide after being tortured.
However, the Tang family was so powerful that almost no one dared to cause trouble for them. As long as the family members of the deceased dared to cause trouble for them, the final outcome would be nothing more than the destruction of their families.
Do you still think this is a good marriage? "
The mysterious man was silent for a moment again and said:
"I see."
Then without saying anything else, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated in front of Mo Li's eyes.
At such a close distance, Mo Li didn't see how he disappeared, as if everything just happened was just her illusion. This level of cultivation in the entire Medicine King Valley could only be compared to that of his father before he was injured, right?
Mo Li looked at the place where the mysterious man disappeared, with a look of deep worry on his face.
On the other side is the small courtyard where Yuzhu Peak disciples live.
Bu Xiaotian had just slipped back into his room through the half-open window when a low, smooth voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"You shouldn't want that little girl to marry the second young master of the Tang family, right?"
Hearing the sound that appeared behind him without any warning, Bu Xiaotian's whole body trembled, and he was about to draw his sword and turn around to stab behind him.
But before his hand touched the hilt of the sword, a huge pressure from nowhere suddenly pressed on his body, making him unable to move, and the voice sounded again:
"I advise you not to do this. If you really do take action, you brothers and sisters will probably die 90% of the time."
Feeling the huge pressure coming from his body, and hearing the words of the person behind him, Bu Xiaotian felt a chill quickly sweep through his body.
He tried to calm down and asked:
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"Don't care who I am or what I want to do. Just tell me whether you want to see her forced to marry Tang Wenhu. If you dare to say one more word of nonsense, I will kill that little girl. "
Listening to the calm but murderous words behind him, Bu Xiaotian did not dare to say anything more and could only reply:
"In no mood!"
"Very well, now I want to get two things from you. You will see what you want to see the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, without waiting for Bu Xiaotian to answer, the package on Bu Xiaotian's bedside moved slightly, and two things slowly flew out from it, passing by Bu Xiaotian and flying behind him.
After a while, Bu Xiaotian felt his whole body relax, and the invisible pressure receded like a tide.
Bu Xiaotian immediately turned around. Where was the half-figure behind him?
Although the room was dark, when the two things that the man had just taken flew past him, he still saw the appearance of those two things, a feather fan with a fan surface made of fine iron, about the size of a palm. jade bottle.
Bu Xiaotian lit a candle beside the bed, picked up the package and rummaged through it for a while, and finally determined what the man had taken.
The red iron fan he got when he killed Lingyan a year ago, and the jade bottle containing the nine-leaf purple ginseng pill.
Recalling what just happened, Bu Xiaotian was full of doubts.
Who is this mysterious man?
Why is he here?
He doesn't seem like a righteous person to listen to, but why would he help himself?
What's Mo Li's reason?
When he left, he seemed to hear that Mo Li's father was seriously injured. Is it because of this that Mo Li was placed under house arrest by those people?
…
All kinds of complicated thoughts kept echoing in Bu Xiaotian's mind, making him toss and turn on the bed, and he didn't fall asleep until the sky was getting slightly brighter.
Bu Xiaotian slept until three o'clock in the morning. He was very tired from his sleep. He seemed to have had many dreams when he fell asleep, but he couldn't remember them clearly after he woke up.
When he opened the door and walked out, many people had gathered in the yard to chat, including senior brothers and sisters from Yuxumen and Jade Buddha Temple.
Everyone felt a little strange when they saw Bu Xiaotian with a tired face. It is said that they are all practitioners, and they would not be so tired even if they did not sleep for several days and nights. What did Bu Xiaotian do last night?
Chu Yungong came over and asked:
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Bu Xiaotian looked at the concern on Chu Yungong's face, forced a smile, shook his head and said:
"nothing."
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian didn't want to say more, Chu Yungong didn't ask any more questions, and took him to the courtyard to chat with everyone again.
They were talking about the same things as yesterday, some insights from cultivation and experiences outside. Bu Xiaotian listened absentmindedly and basically didn't interrupt.
After a while, someone suggested going outside for a stroll, and everyone else readily agreed, so a group of people walked out of the courtyard in a mighty manner.
When the disciples of Yaowang Valley not far away saw them, someone came up to inquire and learned that they wanted to wander around the valley. They did not stop them, but instead acted as a guide for them, introducing them to the places they passed along the way.
When they arrived at the entrance of the inner valley, the disciple said that only the disciples of Yaowang Valley and the guests with permission could enter there. No one forced them to go in, so they turned around and walked to other places.
Bu Xiaotian looked in the direction of Neigu in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
After Chu Yungong walked a few steps, he saw that Bu Xiaotian was lost in thought and did not follow him. He walked back and saw Bu Xiaotian looking at Nei Gu, so he said:
"Come on, little junior brother, that's the inner valley. We can't go in now. We can't go in until tomorrow when the valley owner's daughter gets married."
Bu Xiaotian came back to his senses and responded with an inexplicable expression:
"oh."
The two caught up with everyone and visited the beautiful scenery of Yaowang Valley together.
After all, Yun Ying was a girl at heart. Seeing the breathtaking scenery of Yaowang Valley, she was so happy that she didn't notice anything strange about Bu Xiaotian at all.
It was not until dark that everyone returned to their respective places of residence.
Tomorrow is Mo Li's wedding. Thinking of this, Bu Xiaotian stayed up all night again.
This made his mental state even worse the next day.
Everyone got up early that morning. There were already six Yaowang Valley disciples waiting in the courtyard, and the leader was Qian Jinzi.
Seeing everyone come out, Qianjinzi said:
"Brothers and sisters, please follow me to the inner valley. The young lady's wedding will be held in the inner valley soon."
Everyone nodded and followed Qianjinzi and others towards the inner valley.
Entering the inner valley, everyone found that the houses and courtyards here were more concentrated than those in the outer valley, with lights and colors everywhere. Although the wedding had not officially begun, the valley was already filled with a hint of joy.
Qianjinzi and the others led this group of people to a huge square with many seats in the valley, and said:
"Everyone, please take a seat and wait here for a while. You can enjoy the melon and fruit wine on the table as you like."
The fruits are exquisite and the wine is fragrant.
But Bu Xiaotian had no interest in eating or drinking at all, and looked at the high platform in the center of the square in trance.
That was the place where Mo Li and Tang Wenhu saluted later.
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian's face was really ugly, Chu Yunggong came over and asked:
"Junior brother, are you really okay?"
Bu Xiaotian shook his head, put on an ugly smile, and said:
"I'm fine."
Doesn't he look like he's okay?
Although Chu Yungong was suspicious, Bu Xiaotian refused to say it, and he couldn't force him to say it, so he had to sit back and pay attention to Bu Xiaotian secretly.
Finally, the clock rang.
"when--"
"when--"
…
The bell rang six times, and the sound echoed throughout the valley.
A loud but not harsh voice sounded:
"The auspicious time has arrived! We invite two newcomers to the stage——"
PS: I made up what I owed yesterday, although no one seemed to see it...
