C14 (2/2)
The three of them nodded, bowed, and said in unison, ”This subordinate will do it right away!”
After the three of them finished talking, they all left the main hall.
Xue Bailing, who was standing nearby, saw the three leave and immediately asked, ”Father, why are those people chasing after Grandfather Lu and that little pervert Chu Ming?”
Xue Nei reached out to touch Xue Bailing's head and said: ”Grandfather Lu, he used to be a very strong person. ”Although I don't know much about his past, but …” Xue Nong stopped his hands and looked into the distance. He then continued, ”Hundred Spirit House, after this matter is over, let's return to Poison King's Valley.”
Xue Bailing smiled and said, ”Father, are you looking for trouble here again?”
Xue Nong shook his head and said, ”Ling'er doesn't understand. In this adult's world, there are many things that one can't help but do.”
Xue Bailing tilted her head, not quite understanding the meaning behind her father's words.
”...”
On the other side, after Bian Jie went off the stage to bid farewell to Xue Xun, he hurried back to the Hall of Healing. On the other side, Bian Jie went off the stage to bid farewell to Xue Xun, then hurried back to the Hall of Healing.
Compared to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, it was simply insignificant. However, the Hall was very pure, each disciple was one in a thousand, so compared to the elites of the sect, the Hall of Healing still surpassed the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
After a short break, Fang Jie also called for the stewards.
”Thank you for your hard work today, but I still have something to get rid of you all.”
The few elders cupped their fists and said: ”Pill King, please speak!”
He stood with his hands behind his back and said, ”Just before the end of today's Poison Hall, there is an old man and a young man who were chased by the Ghost Valley King Ouyang Yu, Heavenly Road's Jian Chengfeng and the White-browed Daoist. This old man and young man are old friends of mine, so I would like to ask everyone to send some of their disciples to help me search.
The elders nodded their heads before replying: ”Pill King, do not worry, this subordinate will handle this matter.” Then they all left the lobby.
”...”
He frowned, not daring to walk towards the main entrance, afraid that the four people were still there. Thus, he looked around and coincidentally saw a horse carriage carrying straw and was about to enter the city. Without thinking too much, he quickly dodged in and followed the horse carriage into Qingzhou City.
After entering the Green Continent, Lu Ceng did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly headed towards the Ji Shi Hall. Since there were many eyes on the streets, in order to avoid being discovered, he quickened his pace without using any movement techniques.
At this time, it was already late in the night. The sun had struggled to last in the west before setting, and the last ray of sunlight had also shone its way into the bustling Qingzhou City.
The arrival of night gave everyone a strange feeling of oppression. It was as if everyone was being swallowed up, making it hard for them to breathe. The September sky had lost a lot of stars. The passersby all felt that this was not a peaceful night. It was as if the heavens were doing it on purpose. Unexplainable feelings flooded in again and again. From time to time came the long barking of a dog, casting a deeper shade of color on the dark night.
Just in this half day, he had already walked back and forth for nearly forty miles. At this time, his lips were cracked, and he desperately wanted to drink a mouthful of water to replenish some of the water, so he carried Chu Ming as if he were carrying the sun. Even though there were many layers of clothes on his back, he still felt that burning pain.
Chu Ming was in a half-asleep state. His entire body was so hot that he wanted to scream, but he realized that he didn't even have the strength to do so. His soft skin was paralyzed on Lu Zeng's back. He felt like he was about to die.
”Tomorrow, don't fall asleep!”
”Tomorrow, talk to grandpa.”
”Tomorrow, quickly open your eyes!”
”Ming'er …”
Lu Zeng kept on talking to Chu Ming, trying to keep him awake. However, the famous voice behind him seemed to become more and more inaudible. From the back, he could feel Chu Ming's slow heartbeat and touch. Lu Zeng's heart burned with anxiety, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
