Xuanji slept until the afternoon, and the other five, who had woken up earlier, finally couldn’t help but knock on the door and shout for her to wake up before nightfall.
When Ling Long dragged Xuanji out of the house, it was already time for dinner. Zhong Min Yan, who was anxious to see what was going on, frowned and said, “Why are you so lazy when you’re out? How can a cultivator sleep so long?”
Xuanji was still half-dreaming and half-awake when she heard someone talking to her, and it seemed like she was talking to herself, so she rolled her eyes and looked up and smiled blankly. Zhong Minyan was so angered by her smile that he had to squat aside depressed and stopped talking.
Linglong pouted: “My sister was injured yesterday, what will happen if she sleeps more? Even if she sleeps until tomorrow morning, it will be fine! What are you yelling!”
After speaking, Xuanji gave her a blank smile.
Linglong sighed, “Look at you, you’re so confused! Come on, I’ll take you to wash your face with cold water.”
While Ling Long was taking Xuanji to freshen up, Boss Zhao and his men from the Zhao Clan had returned and were preparing a meal, while listening about yesterday’s ghost hunting experience.
Zhong Min Yan finally had the chance to speak eloquently, and the whole table was filled with him talking about how he only described those Qu Ru as more formidable than a Gu Eagle, and how they were heroes and heroines who killed blood in the chaos, how difficult and dangerous they were. The villagers of the Zhao Clan were so stunned that they all sweat coldly on their behalf.
“Then…what is the reason for the sudden attack of the strange birds. Can you find out the reason, young heroes?” Boss Zhao finally found a time to interrupt and asked carefully.
“Uh, this…” Zhong Minyan didn’t know what to say for a while, and was stunned.
Yu Si-feng said, “We suspect that someone is controlling the demons behind the scene, but we haven’t found out who it is yet. Don’t worry, we won’t leave Wang Xian Town until this matter is resolved.”
Zhong Min Yan nodded hurriedly and said, “Yes, yes! We will go there again tonight to find out what’s going on. Uncle Zhao, don’t worry, with our Shaoyang disciples here, we won’t let the demons disturb the people’s peace and happiness.”
Boss Zhao heard this assurance, so he felt at ease and gave them a smile.
Lu Yanran on the side listened to Zhong Minyan’s big talk and just laughed in a low voice. If Ling Long were here, she might have been arguing long ago. Although Zhong Min Yan also dislikes her, but because she is a woman and because he is more stable than Ling Long, he just bows his head and drinks without looking at her.
But who knew that the more indifferent he became, the more energetic Lu Yanran became, and she charmingly said, “The Shaoyang Sect is such a big name, Uncle Zhao must feel relieved. We don’t have to do anything, only the three words ‘Shao Yang Sect’, the demons will hear and be scared off.”
This is so harsh, even Ruo Yu couldn’t help but shake his head secretly. Zhong Minyan frowned slightly and still did not speak.
“If we were to announce our name on Fu Yu Island, or at the Li Ze Palace, we wouldn’t have such a great reputation…”
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the sound of Ruo Yu’s coughing. He smiled and said, “Well, the moon is bright and the night is cool as water, so it’s a good time to investigate the demons. It’s time to get ready and get going.”
“Well, you are a little self aware!”
Ling Long’s voice came from behind. The crowd turned around and saw that she was the one leading Xuanji to the door. She had heard Lu Yanran’s provocation just now, so she simply followed her words and took her into her confidence.
Lu Yanran smiled and said softly, “Fu Yu Islans is just an unknown sect. How dare it compete with the Shaoyang Sect.”
Ling Long seated the ignorant Xuanji on a chair, raised her head, and snorted, “You are polite, I have accepted.”
Lu Yanran’s heart was upset, and she only felt that Ling Long must not get any advantage. When she turned around, she suddenly saw Xuanji’s forehead was wet, she must have washed her face with cold water just now, she was more awake than before but still looked dull.
She lightly smiled and said, “Miss Xuanji is up so late, we are about to set off now. It’s a pity to waste a banquet, so why don’t you ask uncle to keep it and heat it up for you when you come back tonight?”
Xuanji was about to put a bamboo shoot in her mouth when she said that, so she was stunned and looked up at her.
“But I’m very hungry now,” she said honestly, and stuffed another mouthful of rice into her mouth.
“If we wait any longer, we won’t be able to make it… We can’t do that. Sifeng…….? Why don’t we go first? After all, Miss Xuanji was wounded yesterday, so she probably won’t be able to do much today.”
Lu Yanran spoke very sincerely.
Xuanji looked at the sky, swallowed her food and said, “It’s not yet nine o’clock, so it’s useless to go too early. If you are in a hurry, you can go by yourself first.”
When Lu Yanran saw that no one responded to her, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
She was very unhappy because when they teamed up originally she was the only girl in the group with Yu Sifeng, and the two men took care of her during the trip. But suddenly, some Shaoyang Sect disciples appeared, stealing her thunder in the name of their old friendship. If there is only one Zhong Minyan, he is also a beautiful man, but then, the two sisters, who are a nuisance to her, and Sifeng seems to be amiable to them. In her opinion, Ling Long is an abomination, Xuanji is a fool, and niether is pleasing to the eye.
Lu Yanran is one of the most beautiful sisters in Fu Yu Island, since she was a child she was shrewd and pleasant, and many senior brothers and sisters were obedient to her. She is used to being held in the palm of their hands, and she will not allow anyone to take away her glory.
This time, she was lost from her teammates due to a conflict with them, and she left the team in a fit of anger. Unexpectedly, she was attacked by Qu Ru in Haiwan Mountain, and she was saved by Yu Sifeng and the others who were passing by. Ruo Yu is a good person, gentle and considerate towards her. Although Yu Sifeng is usually taciturn, he has never been mean to her. She finally feels that she is in the hands of someone who cares for her, but Linglong and the others came after two days of being proud.
She sees that Ling Long is pretty and speaks shrewdly, so she knows that she is not to be trifled with. It seems that Zhong Min Yan is especially protective of her, is she had a conflict with a big man, it would be boring.
The woman, Xuanji, is a quiet and cowardly person who seems to be dorky and slow, so she thinks she is a soft persimmon. But she was choked back without saying a word. As expected, it turned out to be true that before they went out to practice, their master had said that Shaoyang’s disciples are not to be messed with.
Lu Yanran can’t say anything else, so she sits on the chair with her chin propped up, tapping her fingers on the table, which makes her feel restless.
Ling Long eats slowly to annoy her, and at the same time, she gives Yu Sifeng and the others some food and smiles, “So this is Zhu Yu Grass. Min-Yan, Sifeng, Ruo Yu, Xuanji, eat more.”
The only one to leave out is Lu Yanran, and it is obvious that she is not happy with her.
When Ruo Yu saw that the girls were fighting, the men couldn’t intervene, so sh had to bow his head and eat.
Boss Zhao who was on the opposite side, heard Ling Long bragging about the deliciousness of the grass, he all said, “It’s good that you like it. It’s a pity that there is not much left on the mountain. After half a month, there will not be enough left for people in the whole village to eat!”
Yu Sifeng looked up at the sky, drained the cup of wine in one gulp, got up and said, “It’s getting late. We are going to go to the mountains now.”
Boss Zhao said, “Young heroes, you have worked hard! You really don’t need a horse and torch? Many young people in the village are willing to help…”
Zhong Minyan waved his hand and laughed, “Nothing! Uncle just sleep peacefully, I’m sure we’ll find out the reason today!”
As soon as Xuanji heard that she was leaving, she hurriedly took the last mouthful of rice, wiped her mouth and stood up. When Yu Sifeng, who was standing beside her, saw how she was in a hurry, she smiled and said, “There is no hurry. Look at you…
He lifted his hand to pinch off a piece of rice stuck to her cheek, “I’m still a child.”
I am a child… Xuanji was going to say that, but then she remembered that she was already fifteen years old, so she wasn’t really a child anymore, so she swallowed it.
When she looked at Yu Sifeng, she suddenly noticed something wrong with his face. She looked left and right, but she couldn’t find out what was wrong.
When she met him last night, it was already late at night, and it was four years before she met him again, so in her excitement, she didn’t notice anything different about his mask. In her excitement, she hadn’t noticed the difference in his mask, but now the fire was glowing in the room and she finally noticed the difference.
Ruo Yu, who is next to her, has the same mask, identical to the one on Si Feng’s face four years ago. The mask of Si Feng has changed and is still a ferocious mask, but that face, with tears on the left and a smile on the right, is now seen in the light of the fire, it is really weird.
“The mask of Si Feng, how come…….?” She mumbled a question.
Before she could finish her question, both Yu Sifeng and Ruoyu were shocked.
“He…” Ruoyu opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he didn’t. He just smiled bitterly.
Yu Sifeng raised his hand and touched the mask, and after a long time, he said, “I just changed the mask. It’s not worth mentioning… Let’s not talk about that, let’s get ready to leave. Xuanji, I’ll show you the Xiao Yinhua later.”
