It suddenly dawned on him that there was such a beautiful girl in the world. When she smiled, it made people feel that even the world had lost its color.
Bai Qingzhu just looked at Mu Yichang blankly, and unconsciously said what was in her heart, "You look so beautiful when you smile."
The girl who heard these words was stunned for a moment, and then immediately suppressed the smile on her lips.
It seems that laughter is also a luxury for her.
That fleeting smile was just gone.
Bai Qingzhu didn't say anything, he just pulled her to continue treading water.
But Mu Yichang seemed to be in no mood anymore. She shook her head at Bai Qingzhu, then broke away from his hand, turned around and went to the shore, sat on a big rock, and returned to her previous appearance.
This made Bai Qingzhu wonder if he had just seen it wrong.
That flash of smile seemed to have never appeared.
Bai Qingzhu sat on the stone next to her and asked her, "Don't you like treading water?"
Mu Yichang slowly shook her head but did not speak.
Bai Qingzhu thought for a moment and then asked: "Then...are you unhappy?"
The girl nodded, then shook her head, and finally nodded.
Bai Qingzhu was also a little confused by this reaction.
He couldn't tell whether Mu Yichang was happy or unhappy.
Bai Qingzhu sighed and patted Mu Yichang's shoulder to express comfort.
"Don't worry, if you want to see people alive or dead, or see corpses, everything without results may mean that it is a good direction, right?" Bai Qingzhu said.
Mu Yichang raised her eyes and looked at him, pursed her lips and said, "But, what if he really dies?"
Bai Qingzhu was silent. He didn't know what life and death meant, at least he had never experienced such a thing since he became sensible.
Therefore, he could not answer Mu Yichang's question with empathy and assumptions.
In the end, Bai Qingzhu just said: "You still have me!"
In the girl's misty eyes, he quickly explained: "I mean, you still have me as a senior brother, and... and Master, and other senior brothers, haha..."
The young man Bai Qingzhu smiled awkwardly to hide the feelings hidden in his heart.
Mu Yichang said: "But you are not my relatives after all."
Bai Qingzhu patted her chest and assured her, "Who says it's not true? From now on, I am your relative. No matter what happens to you, I will stand in front of you. You don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Really?" Mu Yichang asked.
Bai Qingzhu nodded repeatedly, "Of course, once you say something, it's hard to chase it back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky was suddenly obscured by a dark cloud.
Bai Qingzhu looked up and saw that the dark clouds were coming from nowhere, as if there would be a lightning strike from the sky at any time.
He couldn't help but shrink his neck and thought to himself: Does God also know what I am thinking about Junior Sister Mu, so he wants to strike me with lightning for telling lies?
The next second, a bolt of lightning struck down, but it did not hit Bai Qingzhu, but the small river beside them.
The river water stirred up a huge splash, and Bai Qingzhu quickly pulled Mu Yichang up to dodge.
Then, thunder began to fall continuously, some hitting the trees and some hitting the ground.
At the same time, several other brothers and sisters also panicked.
This was the first time that thunder from the sky suddenly fell and struck Shuanghua Gate without any warning.
Bai Qingzhu saw that everyone was dodging in a chaotic manner, so he pulled Mu Yichang and rushed to the front, and directed everyone to leave with several senior brothers.
Affected by the thunder, several people failed to return to Shuanghua Gate, but hid in a deep cave.
Fortunately, the cave is spacious enough for everyone.
Bai Qingzhu said: "This cave is very deep, and I don't know if there are monsters living in it. Let's not disturb it without authorization. Just wait here at the entrance of the cave. When the dark clouds disperse, we can return to Shuanghua Gate as soon as possible."
The disciples nodded in agreement.
But they waited from dawn to dusk, and the lightning and thunder outside continued without stopping.
At this time, some people could no longer hold themselves back.
A few even started complaining and blaming each other.
Bai Qingzhu shouted loudly, "Everyone, please stop saying a few words."
Everyone remained silent, but such scolding could not last long.
Gradually, some voices began to emerge, and some even began to accuse Mu Yichang.
"Tell me, is it possible that God is punishing our Shuanghua Sect for accepting a demon disciple, so it strikes us with thunder from the sky?"
"That is to say, in all my life, I have never seen such thunder. It only appeared because of the arrival of that little vixen."
"I have long felt that she is not simple. Look at her appearance, she looks exactly like the rumored monster that brought disaster to the country and the people."
"That's right, maybe she is some kind of ominous creature, and the thunder from the sky was not meant to strike us, but to strike her."
At this moment, someone suddenly suggested, "Let's just push her out, maybe let the thunder strike her, and everything will return to normal."
"That's fine, otherwise how long will we have to wait here?"
"I've been tired for a long time and want to go back to sleep. Let's just give it a try."
Bai Qingzhu felt unspeakably angry when he heard those two voices. He frowned and pulled out his long sword, stood in front of Mu Yichang and said, "You dare to touch her and try it!"
Several senior brothers also came to make peace one after another, fearing that the thunder outside would not do anything to a few people, but they would start fighting first.
"Junior Brother Bai, don't be angry. They were just talking casually. How could they really drive Junior Sister Mu out?"
Bai Qingzhu, on the other hand, looked at the guys who made sarcastic remarks with a scrutinizing gaze and said, "I don't think they are joking."
Seeing the ferocity in Bai Qingzhu's eyes, several people gradually lost their confidence and lowered their heads.
The senior brothers continued to persuade: "Okay, okay, you all should be quiet, don't be anxious, don't be impatient, what does Master teach us? Don't be alarmed when things change, everyone sit down and meditate!"
With the senior brother's order, everyone did not dare to disobey, so they sat down quietly and began to meditate.
The night was getting darker, but the thunder outside continued, accompanied by flashes of lightning, lighting up the night sky from time to time.
At this moment, Mu Yichang suddenly heard some sounds.
She raised her head and followed the sound and looked into the depths of the cave. Her fingers unconsciously tightened and she grasped the skirt of Bai Qingzhu's clothes.
Bai Qingzhu noticed her little movements and lowered her head to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, junior sister, it's getting late. You can sleep for a while. I'll watch over you. Everything will be fine."
Mu Yichang raised her head and said, "There is a sound."
"What?" Bai Qingzhu asked.
Mu Yichang spoke again, "There is... a sound inside, like footsteps, approaching..."
Probably due to the nature of animals, Mu Yichang's ear power is amazing, at least hundreds of times stronger than ordinary mortals or human cultivators.
Someone heard it and sneered and said, "What sound? Why didn't I hear it? Could it be that there was a ghost in the night and scared Junior Sister Mu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Mu Yichang lowered her eyes and fell silent.
However, Bai Qingzhu believed in her very much. He held her wrist firmly and said, "Junior sister Mu, I believe in you. I will accompany you to take a look."
Mu Yichang lowered her head and looked at the hand on her wrist, feeling a little grateful in her heart.
Perhaps it's because in this indifferent Shuanghua Sect, there are too few people like Bai Qingzhu who are willing to believe in her.
Therefore, Mu Yichang was grateful to Bai Qingzhu.
Bai Qingzhu nodded towards her.
Senior Brother Zhang held Bai Qingzhu's shoulders and said: "Even if there is something in this cave, it is probably just a monster living here. We'd better not disturb it."
Mu Yichang said: "It is huge and a ferocious beast."
Hearing this, Senior Brother Zhang frowned and said, "This is the realm under the jurisdiction of Shuanghua Sect. How could there be any ferocious beasts?"
Mu Yichang ignored him, just looked up at Bai Qingzhu and said to him, "It's a ferocious beast."
Bai Qingzhu held her wrist tightly, nodded, and said, "I believe it."
He turned to Senior Brother Zhang and said, "Senior Brother, we are just going to take a look. If it is as Senior Brother said, it would be best. But if it is really as Junior Sister Mu said, we may be in danger if we stay here. So, before Check it out, it’s the best solution right now.”
Senior Brother Zhang looked at him helplessly and suddenly believed the recent rumors in Shuanghua Sect that Bai Qingzhu was fascinated by the new Junior Sister Fox.
At this moment, it seems that this is really the case.
Senior Brother Zhang no longer paid attention to them, but only said: "No matter what, don't disturb the spirit beasts, otherwise Master will know about it and he will punish us."
Bai Qingzhu nodded, and then pulled Mu Yichang deeper into the cave.
He took off his coat, tied it to the scabbard of his sword, and used fire spells to ignite the clothes and illuminate the road ahead.
The deeper the two of them went into the cave, the louder the footsteps of the ferocious beast became.
Suddenly, Mu Yichang stopped and pulled Bai Qingzhu close to the stone wall.
Bai Qingzhu lowered her voice and asked, "Junior sister, what's wrong?"
Mu Yichang replied: "Here he comes."
At this moment, Bai Qingzhu also heard the sound of footsteps. The sound was very heavy. Judging from the sound, it weighed at least several hundred kilograms.
Bai Qingzhu frowned. He didn't know that there was such a huge beast in the mountains behind Shuanghua Gate.
Before he could think about it, a whistling wind suddenly came to his ears, accompanied by blue lightning hitting his face.
Mu Yichang snatched the torch from Bai Qingzhu's hand, threw it towards the lightning, then pressed down Bai Qingzhu's body, and the two squatted on the ground.
A roar rang in their ears.
The loud voice was heard by the disciples gathered at the entrance of the cave.
Senior Brother Zhang looked at the deep cave warily and said, "What is that sound?"
At this time, someone said, "Could it be that the vixen really guessed that there is some kind of vicious beast hidden in this place?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone became frightened.
Senior Brother Zhang teamed up with several senior brothers to control the situation first, "Don't panic, everyone. We don't know what's going on inside yet. Let's wait for Junior Brother Bai and Junior Sister Mu to come out before we make plans."
Several senior brothers stood in the way, and all the junior brothers retreated to the entrance of the cave.
If it hadn't been for the thunder and lightning outside, they might have been struck by lightning at any time when they went out, and they might have escaped by now.
Just as Bai Qingzhu wanted to speak out, Mu Yichang covered her mouth.
He could even vaguely feel the sound of heavy breathing ringing in his ears. The sound was so close that it seemed as if he was right in front of him.
Bai Qingzhu's heart jumped loudly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Just then, when Junior Sister Mu threw the torch, he saw clearly that the opponent was huge, covered in scales, and had two long horns, with cyan-blue electric light flashing from time to time on the horns.
Just at this moment, right in front of his eyes, a flash of electric light flashed, and he immediately smelled the smell of burnt hair.
Bai Qingzhu was sure that a large piece of hair on his forehead must have been burned off, because he could vaguely feel a slight chill on the top of his head.
Fortunately, probably because they didn't make any noise, they couldn't find the thing, so they moved towards the cave entrance with heavy steps.
When the footsteps were a little far away, Mu Yichang released her hand covering Bai Qingzhu's mouth.
Bai Qingzhu immediately realized something and slapped his forehead, "It's over, they don't know the situation yet."
Mu Yichang was very calm, "But we are not its opponents."
Bai Qingzhu also knows this very well, but... there are so many people outside, even if they unite, they will not be an opponent of this thing.
Once something happens, how can he stay alone?
Bai Qingzhu held Mu Yichang's hand and said, "Junior sister, wait for me here. I'll go out and help them. If you hear me calling you, we won't be able to support you anymore. You can find a way to hide it and don't say anything." Sound, wait until that thing goes back and you are leaving here, huh?"
Mu Yichang lowered her eyes and seemed not to understand the so-called friendship. She asked: "Why, why do you want to save them?"
These words really stopped Bai Qingzhu.
For Mu Yichang, those people were the ones who hurt her and bullied her.
However, to Bai Qingzhu, although they are malicious, they are still good in nature.
Their ill will toward Mu Yichang was simply because as a righteous immortal sect, it was difficult for them to accept a demon cultivator as their junior sister, not to mention a fox junior sister who was not good at words and unsociable.
Although Bai Qingzhu disagreed with their ideas, he would not beat them to death for this reason.
After all, they are teachers from the same school, so Bai Qingzhu cannot ignore death.
Bai Qingzhu said: "I can't explain it for a while. Anyway... I have to save them. Junior sister, you stay here, don't be afraid, wait for me to come back to you."
Just when he turned to leave, Mu Yichang grabbed the hem of his clothes again.
Bai Qingzhu turned around in surprise, "Junior Sister Mu?"
Mu Yichang said: "I'll go with you."
This makes Bai Qingzhu a little embarrassed. After all, to him, Junior Sister Mu is a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. How can she fight against such a ferocious beast?
