"A bunch of trash, you can't even look down on a woman, what's the use of keeping you!"
In a large house in Huiyan Town, Xu Jinlin had a murderous look on his face, with more than a dozen people kneeling in front of him tremblingly.
Since defeating Zhu Qiaoyu, Xu Jinlin has occupied Huiyan Town. Most of the original townspeople were driven away, and now they are all populated by subordinates recruited later.
Basically, they are all scum in the world, and they all come here because of their fame. Xu Jinlin doesn't care about the past or character, as long as he is obedient and capable.
Zhu Qiaoyu and those who dared to resist were all imprisoned.
But last night, Zhu Qiaoyu and the prisoners ran away.
All the guards were escorted to Xu Jinlin, where they were held accountable and awaited execution.
"It's unjust, we really don't know what's going on..."
The head guard screamed: "Brothers worked hard and dared not even drink. They were divided into four shifts for fear that these people would run away. But for some reason last night, everyone fainted. My subordinates felt that , must be drugged..."
"Nonsense!" a thin old man in his fifties yelled angrily, "This miracle doctor has already checked, and there are no signs of poisoning on any of you. It was clearly a dereliction of duty that allowed the prisoner to escape."
"You..." The head guard gritted his teeth and turned to Xu Jinlin: "You can't listen to this so-called miracle doctor. He is a charlatan and has no understanding of medicine. Back then, he defrauded his subordinates of money, and they almost killed him. He took revenge privately."
"How dare you slander me? I think it was you who let me go. You are a notorious thief. You must have seen that Zhu Qiaoyu's charm is still there, so you secretly helped me."
"Bah, don't think I don't know what an old man like you is. I think back then..."
Many of these recruited people had grievances and grievances, so naturally they would not say good or bad things about each other when given the opportunity. You said something to me, yelling at each other.
Xu Jinlin stood silent and suddenly took action without any warning.
More than a dozen guards vomited blood and flew out. They fell to the ground with their chests sunken, and they lost their breath as they watched.
Everyone immediately fell silent, no one dared to speak anymore.
"I don't need the truth or reasons, I only care about the final result." Xu Jinlin said with a stern face, "I will give you power and wealth, but you must give corresponding rewards. If you do something wrong, there will be only one end."
"Yes..." Everyone was trembling.
"What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and chase the person!" Xu Jinlin said in a calm tone, "If you can't catch the person, there's no need to come back..."
All the subordinates dispersed in a hurry.
Xu Jinlin remained cold on the surface, but silently prayed for Zhu Qiaoyu in his heart.
"Sister Zhu, just leave like this...Whether it's Qingzhou or Penglai, don't come back for three to five years...it's time for you to come back after I clean up everything here."
…
A few days later.
There is a small boat on the sea, and the person on the boat is Zhu Qiaoyu.
"You caught me but didn't kill me, and then quietly let me go. After you let me go, you sent people to chase me all the way...Xu Jinlin, could it be that you..."
Having been at sea for many days, Zhu Qiaoyu has been unable to calm down.
Xu Jinlin returned to Di Shengqian Continent and seemed to be a completely different person. Challenge famous masters along the way and use your reputation to recruit a large number of followers. Later, they occupied Huiyan Town and imprisoned her to force her to surrender.
Judging from everything, Xu Jinlin must have been stimulated back then and went to extremes after returning from his studies, hoping to dominate the world.
Such things are not uncommon in Di Shengqianzhou.
Needless to say, it happened more than 20 years ago.
After the death of Hou Zhen, the old leader of the Fourteenth Wood, his son-in-law Liu Jian, as his successor, once made such an attempt.
They also took back Yan Town first, and then designed to trap Xu Jinlindang's parents in the Beast Sound Cave. Later, Liu Jian died. Huang Songzi, the master of Baihemen, and Chu Ye, the master of Qingyi Building, came out one after another to quell the turmoil.
As a victim of the incident that year, Xu Jinlin seems to be becoming the second Liu Jian. And judging from the strength he showed, he is obviously more threatening than Liu Jian back then.
There was just one thing that Zhu Qiaoyu didn't understand.
Xu Jinlin, why should you save her?
That night, the guards suddenly fainted and the acupuncture points where she was trapped were untied.
No one was seen who took action, including the two soul masters who were arrested like her, and they were not sure of the identity of the rescuer.
But Zhu Qiaoyu is certain that it is Xu Jinlin.
Over the years, she has neglected martial arts. Her main focus is on healing and rescuing people, and she is extremely sensitive to human scent.
That aura is definitely that of Xu Jinlin.
The seemingly unreasonable behavior and the contrast that appeared in a person, based on the consistent thinking of a doctor, Zhu Qiaoyu felt that he had discovered the truth.
"Hysteria."
Zhu Qiaoyu's expression was complicated, with pity in her eyes.
"Back then, he was kidnapped by people from the Fourteenth Ward, and he had to bear the pain of losing his parents. He must have been hit hard, and he awakened a brand new self. Cold, ruthless, and domineering... used this to protect himself... But the kind-hearted person is still there, so he secretly rescued me..."
Zhu Qiaoyu clenched her fists.
"There are many records of such illnesses in medical books, but there is basically no cure. But Penglai Island must have a way to save you."
When the immortal came to the world and walked in Qianzhou, he once gave her the promise of Penglai. Zhu Qiaoyu is not without yearning for the legendary fairy island.
It's just that the disputes and fighting in the world are endless, and there are always people who need to be treated. With the fairy stone in hand that can cure all diseases and eliminate all poisons, Zhu Qiaoyu has a reason not to leave.
But now, she can't even think about leaving.
"Penglai...where will it be..." Zhu Qiaoyu looked around.
Although she has good cultivation skills, she does not know the art of navigation and searches aimlessly on the sea based on her feelings.
Suddenly, I felt a warmth in my arms.
Zhu Qiaoyu reached out and took out a round stone.
This is a fairy stone she got as a child, and no one but her can use it. The stone is glowing now, as if it is emitting some kind of call.
A thick fog suddenly appeared on the empty sea level.
The mist fills the air, revealing the passage in the middle. At the end of the passage, you can vaguely see an island.
"Penglai?! That's right there!"
Zhu Qiaoyu quickly rowed the boat forward and plunged directly into the thick fog.
As the boat went deeper, the fog gradually became lighter. Until they all disappeared, including Zhu Qiaoyu and the boat.
Of course Zhu Qiaoyu did not disappear, but arrived in Penglai.
"This is Penglai..."
Looking at the island in front of her, Zhu Qiaoyu was in a trance.
The island is covered with mist and giant trees like cloud tops. Amid the sweet chirping of birds, white cranes and bluebirds can be seen soaring.
The boat automatically docked at the shore, and Zhu Qiaoyu stepped down carefully.
You can use Qinggong to jump before landing, and you can jump simply after landing.
But she didn't dare.
This is the legendary Penglai, and she dare not be disrespectful to this place.
When we got ashore, we saw more.
The green grass seemed to be sprinkled with emeralds, and that kind of green was definitely not found in the human world. The red and yellow flowers are in full bloom, and just smelling them makes you feel like you are in a dream.
Look up.
A green mountain peak stands in the center of the island, and a winding mountain road with white stone steps. Halfway up the mountain is a simple pavilion, and there seems to be a courtyard under the big tree on the top of the mountain.
"Is that where the immortals live?"
Zhu Qiaoyu instinctively walked forward, but stopped after taking a few steps.
A small snake appears in front, and opposite the small snake is a red bird.
"Fairy beast?"
Zhu Qiaoyu felt respectful and cautiously took a few steps back.
It looks small, but there is no simple life in Penglai. Regardless of whether these two things were dangerous or not, she couldn't be too offended.
"Hiss..."
"Chirp..."
The fight between the little snake and the red bird was fierce.
The red bird unexpectedly spit out a small ball of flame, and smoke suddenly appeared from the mouth of the open-mouthed snake.
The little snake suddenly wrapped around the red bird's neck, strangling the bird's tongue and turning its eyes outwards.
"this……"
Zhu Qiaoyu was stunned for a moment.
"Do the immortal beasts on Penglai also fight with each other?" Zhu Qiaoyu murmured to herself, "It seems that there is not much difference between the immortal beasts and the Jianghu people..."
The little snake and the red bird heard the sound and turned around to see someone coming. Zhu Qiaoyu's muttering to herself just now made the two of them quite concerned.
The two little guys stood still for a moment, looked at each other, and suddenly separated like lightning.
The little snake stretched out its tail to stroke the feathers of the red bird, and the red bird stretched out its paws to scratch the little snake.
Then they hissed at each other and spun in circles rhythmically.
"Oh, it turns out they are just playing." Zhu Qiaoyu suddenly realized, "Let me tell you, how can the fairy beasts be the same as the Jianghu people."
The little snake and the red bird nodded vigorously at the same time, and then left playing together.
Red birds were flying low in the sky, and small snakes were swimming back and forth on the ground. They chirped to each other from time to time, seeming to greet their friends.
"It's so good, it is indeed a blessed land for immortals..." Zhu Qiaoyu seemed to feel something, "Snakes and birds are natural enemies, but they are also so happy. How different from us..."
Zhu Qiaoyu sighed sadly and continued to walk forward.
Little Snake and Red Bird stretched their necks and looked to confirm that Zhu Qiaoyu had gone far away and did not look back.
They looked at each other with a cold light in their eyes.
"Hiss..."
"Chirp..."
Tear into a ball again.
…
Penglai and strange beasts are friendly and respectful. Birds and snakes play with each other, chase the fire and put their necks together, walking side by side without fighting the enemy. When the guest landed on the island, he was shocked when he saw this. Thanks to the grace of immortals, although they are different, they are brothers and sisters, and they are close to each other. The danger of looking at people's hearts is far worse.
