C74 (1/2)

It was already autumn. The sun shone down from above his head, turning the color of the sky pale yellow.

As the two horses walked through the mountain forest, the sound of their hooves clattering in the forest turned from hurried to gentle.

”Little brother, are you sure that the Blood Lotus Cult is on this mountain?” The youth on the dark horse asked as he pointed at the tall Azure Cloud Mountain.

The other white-robed youth nodded. ”I've asked around. It's on this mountain.”

”In that case, let's go up the mountain.”

”What about our horses? This horse is the Thousand Li Horse. We agreed to give it to the Sect Leader. If we can't bring it up, how can we show our sincerity? ” The man then heaved a heavy sigh, ”It was not easy for us to escape. It was not easy for us to settle down and eliminate all the harm that came our way.”

”This little brother is really worried about nothing. Let's tie the horse to the tree below first and meet the Sect Leader when we get up the mountain. It won't be too late for us to attack the mountain if we come down.”

The youth in white nodded repeatedly. ”Brother, you are absolutely right. Let's go up the mountain now.”

The two of them dismounted and led their horses to a tree to tie them up. Just as they walked to a bush, they heard a ”hualala” sound. Suddenly, a dozen people jumped out from the bush.

These people were all dressed in white, and there were bright red blood lotuses embroidered on their collars, cuffs, and sleeves …

The blood lotus danced in the wind like a ball of fire.

Yi Xiaoqiao calmly swept her gaze across the crowd. She saw that they were all holding sharp blades in their hands, and were in a ready position to attack. Her cold eyes were like hungry wolves, ready to tear them apart at any moment.

Those people didn't have any reaction. They only held their sabers as they stared at her, like wooden puppets.

Yi Xiaoqiao felt chills down his spine as he was stared at. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

”Put it down! What are you doing?!” At this time, a man dressed in white walked out from the crowd. His long hair was unbound, and as the wind blew it, it made him look like an octopus with bared fangs. He licked his lips, and laughed like a perverted pervert: ”Tsk, there's actually such a beautiful man in this world, more beautiful than Mei Tong!”

Yi Xiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat as he thought, ”Oh no! Could it be that he was seen through?”

Although she had already gotten Peach to cover up for her when she left and put on makeup, she wasn't a disguise after all, and was still too feminine. Some characteristics that belonged to women weren't easily changed; perhaps it really was seen through, so she lowered her head and subconsciously wanted to hide herself.

Peach also moved a few steps in her direction, intentionally or unintentionally blocking her from the others. She vigilantly swept her eyes over them as she secretly assessed whether or not she would be able to escape if they really fought.

However, their goal was not to alert the enemy, but to sneak in and see what was going on inside. If they were to fight here, it would definitely disrupt Joe's plans.

”Tsk tsk, let me take a look.” The man held out his hand to lift Peach's chin.

Peach subconsciously blocked and wanted to raise his foot to kick him.

”You all … ”Who are you!”

Yi Xiaoqiao cried out in alarm and called back Peach's mind. She forcefully suppressed her curiosity and pursed her lips, ”Aren't you bandits?”

”Don't worry, we're not bandits.” The man retracted his hand, holding onto two fingers, he smiled and said, ”From our clothes, you should know that we are from the Blood Lotus Cult, didn't you guys want to surrender? We happen to be. ”
