Originally, Bai Qingzhu and Xiao Yuesheng planned to meet Mu Yichang inside and outside the next day.
But that night, Liu Shu hurriedly came to report to Xiao Yuesheng that Xiao Shuyu was missing.
Tomorrow is the monthly holiday for the disciples of Ruohuaigong.
According to past customs, the disciples would gather together to eat and drink the night before the retreat.
But Xiao Shuyu didn't come today. Liu Shu was worried about his junior sister's condition, so he hurriedly looked for her, only to find that Xiao Shuyu was missing.
Liu Shu and his fellow disciples almost searched Shuanghua Gate, but they couldn't find Xiao Shuyu.
Xiao Shuyu didn't like to go down the mountain on weekdays, and I didn't hear that she had anything to do that required her to go down the mountain.
Liu Shu was no longer calm now and quickly reported the matter to Xiao Yuesheng.
When Xiao Yuesheng learned about this, his expression suddenly changed.
He hurried to Shuanghua Palace and asked to see Bai Qingzhu.
At this time, Bai Qingzhu and his wife were having a loving meal.
When he heard the news about Xiao Yuesheng's request for an audience, he couldn't help but put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and sighed, "I'm so bored as the boss. It's rare that I can have dinner with my wife. I really don't want to meddle in their business."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and patted his back and said, "Okay, okay, stop being pretentious. It's as if I didn't eat with you during the day."
She pulled Bai Qingzhu up and said, "Go quickly, business is important. I'll wait for you to come back."
Bai Qingzhu shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know when it will be finished. Madam, please eat first. I'll warm it up when I come back."
Mrs. Zhang was not polite to him, nodded, and asked him to hurry up.
When Bai Qingzhu met Xiao Yuesheng, he naturally had a bit of displeasure on his face.
He has always had the best relationship with Mu Yichang. This cold-faced junior brother, he doesn't have that much patience with Mu Yichang.
As soon as they met, Bai Qingzhu said seriously: "Junior brother, it's too rude. It's really inappropriate to come to see me at this time."
Xiao Yuesheng hurriedly apologized, "What the head brother said is absolutely true. Unless there is an urgent matter, Yuesheng should not come to disturb you. However, my disciple Xiao Shuyu in the palace is missing. Today, for the purpose of locking the Demon Pavilion, I will send her to After scolding her, I’m afraid she will lose her temper and break into the Demon Locking Pavilion.”
Bai Qingzhu understood what he meant, and felt a little dissatisfied with him.
A few days ago, Mu Yichang accidentally fell into the Demon Locking Pavilion. Although Xiao Yuesheng also helped, he was never so eager.
Today it was just his disciple who was missing, so he was so anxious.
Originally, Bai Qingzhu felt that Xiao Yuesheng was mature and steady and a man worth trusting for life, so he discussed with his wife to bring him and Mu Yichang together.
After this incident, it turned out that Xiao Yuesheng treated Mu Yichang worse than his own apprentice, so Bai Qingzhu felt a little dissatisfied with him.
Xiao Yuesheng didn't notice Bai Qingzhu's thoughts, and said: "Brother, head master, although I know that I shouldn't be so reckless, there is too much evil energy in the Demon Suo Pavilion. Even if there is no leader of the big evil demon, it will be very difficult." Let people stay. Since there are not so many evil spirits entrenched in the pavilion right now, how about taking this opportunity to rescue them as soon as possible?"
Bai Qingzhu's face was a little gloomy, and his emotions could not be seen.
But anyone who knows him well can see his displeasure at a glance.
It had been so many days since Mu Yichang and Gu Liushang fell into the Demon Suo Pavilion. Xiao Yuesheng had never been so anxious to express that Mu Yichang could not stay in the Demon Suo Pavilion for a long time, but now he was even more anxious.
Originally, Bai Qingzhu had not noticed it. After all, even if Mu Yichang's cultivation was damaged, she was still a spirit fox. Even if the evil spirit was rampant, it would not harm her body.
But what Xiao Yuesheng said just now made Bai Qingzhu very concerned.
But after all, Mu Yichang was still imprisoned in the Demon Locking Pavilion, so Bai Qingzhu did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
Before going to Ruohuai Palace, Bai Qingzhu still felt uneasy.
He suddenly asked: "Is the disciple you are talking about Liu Shu?"
It's no wonder that Bai Qingzhu thinks this way. The original disciple guarding the Demon Suo Pavilion was Liu Shu, and it was Liu Shu who later gave this task to Xiao Shuyu.
At first, Bai Qingzhu valued Xiao Yuesheng's eldest disciple very much and knew something about him. As for Xiao Shuyu later, he didn't know much about it.
Xiao Yuesheng was stunned and replied: "No, it's my disciple Xiao Shuyu."
When she heard this name, Bai Qingzhu couldn't help but frown.
Bai Qingzhu knew this person. There had been rumors that Xiao Yuesheng's only female disciple was in love with him.
Although this matter is just gossip, Bai Qingzhu is out of touch as long as he is not dealing with official matters.
Naturally, he did not miss these gossips.
Although he knew about this, he thought he had a fairly clear understanding of Xiao Yuesheng's personality and temperament.
Xiao Yuesheng was too serious, so serious that it was impossible for him to have an affair with his apprentice, so Bai Qingzhu just took it as a joke.
But when he heard this name from Xiao Yuesheng today, Bai Qingzhu felt something was wrong.
As a disciple guarding the Demon Suo Pavilion, he broke into the Demon Suo Pavilion so openly just because his master scolded him?
Bai Qingzhu didn't feel that anything was wrong at first, but now she felt that something was wrong.
Is that girl going to be harmful to Mu Yichang?
Thinking of this, Bai Qingzhu quickly took out the sound transmission mirror and transmitted the sound to Mu Yichang.
Not long after, the sound mirror connected, and Bai Qingzhu asked nervously: "Junior Sister Mu, how are you doing now?"
Mu Yichang smiled and said, "It's still the same, waiting for your rescue."
Bai Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her speaking as usual.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
Because it was dark inside the Demon Suo Pavilion and the sky was getting dark at this time, Bai Qingzhu didn't notice it just now.
At this moment, he saw Mu Yichang's embarrassment, frowned and asked, "Why is your hair so messed up? What's wrong with your face? I can't see clearly. Is one side swollen?"
Before Mu Yichang could speak, he said again: "Come closer and let me take a look."
Mu Yichang straightened her hair carelessly, put on a smile and said, "Senior brother, please stop asking. I'm a little tired, so don't bother me."
When she was about to cut off the sound transmission, Bai Qingzhu spoke first, "Mu Yichang, did something happen?"
Mu Yichang's eyes were a little dodgey, "No, it's okay."
Bai Qingzhu frowned, "Just wait, we will rescue you right away, don't sleep. Liu Shang, Liu Shang, Gu Liu Shang!"
He shouted a few times before Gu Liushang walked into his sight.
The man's eyes were still covered with black gauze, and Bai Qingzhu shouted to him: "Gu Liushang, please guard your master carefully. If anything happens to your master, I can't spare you. Do you hear me?"
Gu Liushang let out a dull sigh and said nothing more.
Bai Qingzhu cut off the sound transmission and hurried to the Demon Locking Pavilion with Xiao Yuesheng.
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Qingzhu and Xiao Yuesheng broke in.
When the two reached the top floor, Mu Yichang was leaning on Gu Liushang's shoulder, looking a little weak.
There was another person lying beside him, it was Xiao Shuyu.
The man fell in a pool of blood, looking a bit horrifying.
Xiao Yuesheng quickly stepped forward and helped Xiao Shuyu up, "Shuyu, Shuyu?"
Xiao Shuyu's eyelids moved, and it took her a long time to wake up. Her voice was a little weak, "Master...Master, are you here?"
Xiao Yuesheng frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Xiao Shuyu's face turned pale, she pursed her lips, and said after a long time: "Master suspects...I, I want to...want to prove...my innocence to Master, so...ahem..."
She coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, and her face turned frighteningly white.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yuesheng said, "Stop talking, let's go out first."
Xiao Shuyu nervously turned her head to look at Mu Yichang and said, "Uncle Mu, she...she was given to by those evil spirits...Master...go and see her quickly."
She would not let go of such a good opportunity and wanted Xiao Yuesheng to discover Mu Yichang's condition as soon as possible.
Sure enough, as she wished, Xiao Yuesheng's eyes immediately turned to Mu Yichang as soon as he heard her words.
Xiao Shuyu watched with satisfaction as the master showed mercy to Mu Yichang, which made her happy.
Just in case, Xiao Shuyu winked at Mu Yichang, her eyes full of warning.
Her warning was nothing to Mu Yichang, but Mu Yichang didn't care that much about Xiao Yuesheng's eyes.
In contrast, she cares more about Bai Qingzhu. After all, he has been her good friend since childhood, and she sincerely treats him as an elder brother.
Bai Qingzhu's expression was a little strange, but he didn't show the same compassion as Xiao Yuesheng.
Mu Yichang breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little moved.
Sure enough, the head brother understood her best.
Not to mention whether this matter is true or not, even if it is true, according to Mu Yichang's temperament, she would never want to see others pity her.
She doesn't tell others, but she is very strong in her heart.
Xiao Yuesheng was about to step forward to help Mu Yichang, but Gu Liushang supported him lightly and moved away from him.
After missing it, Xiao Yuesheng turned his head in surprise and looked at Bai Qingzhu who was standing not far away.
It was rare that Bai Qingzhu didn't help him smooth things over today, so Xiao Yuesheng felt a little embarrassed.
He coughed slightly in embarrassment and asked, "Junior sister Mu, how...how are you doing?"
Mu Yichang pursed her lips, shook her head gently, and said nothing.
Judging from Mu Yichang's appearance alone, it is really misleading.
The clothes were a little tattered, and he was wearing a Gu Liushang's robe. His hair was slightly messy, and there seemed to be red and swollen marks on his face.
Xiao Yuesheng thought it was hard for her to say it, but he still said responsibly, "Junior sister, I will not let you down because of this."
These words made everyone present feel uneasy.
Among them, the one who had the biggest reaction was undoubtedly Xiao Shuyu.
She fully expected her master to abandon Mu Yichang, but in the end, he only said one sentence that he would not let Mu Yichang down?
She couldn't accept this, and she clenched her fingers tightly into fists. She wished she could punch Mu Yichang in the heart right now in front of her master and kill her.
The next person who frowned was Gu Liushang. When he looked at Xiao Yuesheng, he looked at Xiao Yuesheng with as much resentment as Xiao Shuyu.
His eyes turned red when he thought that Xiao Yuesheng had taken possession of his master so early.
It's really red.
Vaguely, Bai Qingzhu felt an evil aura spreading through the air, which made him frown.
Obviously, Xiao Yuesheng also felt it. The two looked at each other and immediately became alert.
There are many evil spirits in Suo Yao Pavilion, but now there are only these crooked melons and cracked jujubes left, which is really suspicious.
Bai Qingzhu blocked Mu Yichang and Gu Liushang almost instinctively, moving very quickly.
On the other hand, Xiao Yuesheng noticed belatedly and saw that Mu Yichang was protected, so he protected Xiao Shuyu.
Xiao Shuyu, who was unaware of the situation, was a little moved. She looked at Xiao Yuesheng eagerly and carefully grabbed his sleeves.
Seeing this, Gu Liushang hugged Mu Yichang's arm and whispered, "Master, what happened? I'm so scared."
Mu Yichang quickly held him in her arms, rubbed his arms, and said: "It's okay, don't be afraid, the master is here."
After hearing this, the man shrank into her arms again, looking frightened.
But no one could see the pair of blood-red eyes under the black veil, filled with success.
He wished he could just be held by his master all the time, but it was a pity...
Gu Liushang's eyes looked at Mu Yichang's flat belly through the black gauze, and when she had no idea, he even put his fingers on it.
He had the idea of killing the child in his master's womb.
I just want to do it, but I don't have the heart to do it.
What should I do if Master hates him and feels sad for this?
Gu Liushang's hands slowly moved away from Mu Yichang's waist, and he hugged Mu Yichang tightly with mixed emotions.
On the one hand, she wanted to make Master her own, but on the other hand, she couldn't bear to make Master sad because of it.
Gu Liushang even felt that all this was his fault, and that he blamed himself for not having the ability... not having the ability to make his master like him.
What if he had enough charm and the ability to make Master like him?
Gu Liushang thought that if he continued like this, he might go crazy.
Just like in the previous life, sometimes everything I say or do is beyond my control.
Thinking of this, he held Mu Yichang's hand a little tighter.
Mu Yichang thought he was just scared, so she held up his head with both hands, pressed her forehead against his, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, as long as Master is here, no one can do anything to Ah Zhan."
Gu Liushang's body trembled, and his thin lips collapsed into a straight line.
"Master." His voice was choked.
Gu Liushang was feeling sad, feeling sad that his master only regarded him as a child.
Sure enough, what he called her was only the man's patient comfort again.
Gu Liushang took a deep breath and became increasingly sad.
When the hostility on his body dissipated, Bai Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "This Demon Locking Pavilion is not safe. We'd better get out as soon as possible. If you have any questions, let's talk about it after we get out."
After saying that, he walked ahead and led a few people downstairs.
When the five people went down to the third floor, they saw a few little demons hiding in the corner and shaking.
Obviously when Bai Qingzhu and Xiao Yuesheng came up, there were no evil spirits on the third floor, but now there are.
Bai Qingzhu was a little confused, but he could only be more cautious.
The little demons seemed to be extremely afraid of a few of them, and they all shrank away.
