Chapter 227 - Gathering for Cultivation (27) (2/2)
No, I have to think of a new way.
Yan Yin didn’t know what Ming Shu was thinking about. He dusted off his clothes, used his own magic arts to heal himself, and then slowly followed Ming Shu.
Because the two of them delayed, it was later than scheduled when they finally went down the mountain.
…
Ming Shu really went down the mountain for food. Following the road was just extra.
The disciples sent by the Seven Peaks just lost their bearings. Yan Yin was unwilling to interfere with Ming Shu, and the status of these disciples was lower than Ming Shu’s, so they didn’t dare to comment blatantly.
Or they could give their opinions, but be thoroughly ignored by her. Ming Shu insisted on making her own way.
The disciples knew their specific task, which was to go to the Xuan family’s stronghold and investigate their murder. However, the location of the Xuan family stronghold was only known to Ming Shu and Yan Yin. Now that these two didn’t move, they just didn’t know what to do.
Ming Shu was roasting meat at this time.
Yan Yin lay on the stone next to her, with his head resting on his arms. He looked sideways at Ming Shu. “Junior Sister Xuan Ji, you really don’t want to know?”
“No.”
Ming Shu’s answer remained unchanged.
Yan Yin leaned over and looked at Ming Shu intently, as if he wanted to find something from her face.
“Alas.” Yan Yin sighed. Then he took out a jade bottle from his sleeves and poured out an elixir, putting it into his mouth.
He handed the jade bottle over to Ming Shu. “You want some?”
The air was instantly filled with the smell of elixirs. There were many different kinds of elixirs in the bottle, but they gave off the same faint scent.
The scent was a bit tempting.
Ming Shu bit the tip of her tongue and refused. “No.”
Yan Yin didn’t insist, but he also didn’t replace the cap, deliberately let the fragrance seep out.
Ming Shu took the meat and moved elsewhere.
Wait until I’m full, then I’ll teach you a lesson.
Seeing Ming Shu leave, Yan Yin covered the jade bottle, and his fingertips knocked on the bottle’s body. He put it back in his sleeve after a long while.
…
“Senior Brother Yang Qi, how about you go to talk to Master Xuan Ji? We have been delaying for so many days…”
The man who was called Senior Brother Yang Qi wore a black robe, and he was a disciple of Wuying Peak.
He was also helpless. “I talked to Master Xuan Ji yesterday but she ignored me.”
“Senior Sister Yun Yao, would you like to talk to her?” Someone looked at Yun Yao. Anyhow, she was the disciple of Chihuo peak master, and she was of much more importance than them.
“No, I won’t.” Yun Yao didn’t want to provoke Ming Shu. She came out this time for other purposes, and she didn’t want anyone to interfere with her again.
Hence when these people asked her, she refused directly. “She is not worried, so what are you afraid of? If anything goes wrong, you will not be responsible for it.”
Everyone looked at each other in speechless despair.
In the end, they could only sigh and change the topic to discuss other things.
Swoosh—
The wind was getting louder.
Dark clouds suddenly drifted overhead, and the sun hid behind the clouds, the light dimming.
“Something is not right…” Yang Qi stood up alertly.
Hearing this, everyone present stood up as well and looked in different directions.
They were surrounded by forest. It was easy for others to hide in the woods quietly.
Sou!
Sousousou—
Something shot over from the thick forest. At first they only heard the sound, then they saw dense black spots coming toward them, faster and closer.
“Hide!”
Yang Qi yelled.
Countless arrows rained from all directions. They didn’t have any chance to avoid, but could only meet them head-on.
Although Yun Yao failed to build a foundation, her strength was not little. These arrows couldn’t hurt her.
Yang Qi blocked the arrows and kept looking for spots where the arrows were fewer. He shouted, “Rush out from there!”
“Stay close.”
Human voices were covered by the whistles of the arrows puncturing the air.
