Chapter 431
But Chu Xiao and his group didn’t seem to think so.
Cui Yuankui knew that Chu Xiao and the others coveted Zhong Xian's physique, but he couldn't figure out what they wanted to do with Zhong Xian's body.
All he knew now was that they would use other things to improve their cultivation, but they kept it a secret as to how they did it, what they did, and what the elements of cultivation were.
Fortunately, Master's good friend Song Yun had already infiltrated Chu Xiao and the others, and gradually gained some understanding of this evil way of cultivation.
When I go back this time, I should be able to figure out the specific cultivation methods of Chu Xiao and the others.
Cui Yuankui was holding a pile of official documents in his arms. He first used magic to make the documents float in the air, then took Yu Xi away from Zhong Xian's arms in seconds, and then stuffed all the hanging documents into Zhong Xian's arms.
The movements were so smooth and flowing that Zhong Xian's hands were already full of documents before he could react.
He looked up angrily and saw Cui Yuankui tilting his head, pointing his chin in the direction of the bamboo house and saying:
"Okay, I'll accompany my little sister to watch the stars, you go back to work, busy man."
Zhong Xian:?
Is this something a human can say?
Seeing Cui Yuankui snatching Yu Xi away triumphantly, Zhong Xian lowered his eyes and quickly said in a gentle voice:
"Brother Yuan Kui, you know, I've been able to review official documents while gazing at the stars since I was a child."
Cui Yuangui:? ? ?
Who knows!
Seeing that Zhong Xian was still talking nonsense and refusing to leave, he sighed, hugged Yu Xi and sat next to Zhong Xian, lowered his head and said to Yu Xi:
"Don't worry. It's not a good thing if the news of his pure ghost body gets out, but Qiuluo City is in a special situation. Rumors won't cause him any substantial harm for the time being."
Seeing Yu Xi nod, he looked at Zhong Xian and said:
"Once the barrier of the shelter is completed, I will return to Songshan Sect and find out why they covet your physique. Once we have a clearer idea, our chances of defeating them will be better."
Zhong Xian knew that Cui Yuankui also wanted to reassure him, and his heart warmed. He immediately nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yuankui."
"That's good to know." Cui Yuankui snorted, "Of course, if you really want to thank me, why don't you stop interfering with me watching the stars together?"
Zhong Xian's heart, which had just warmed up, quickly turned cold, and he lowered his head and angrily handled his official business.
Yu Xi quickly came to Zhong Xian's side to help him grind the ink, which warmed Zhong Xian's heart again.
Woohoo, Xiao Xier is still the best!
When Qingpei came up with his stone pillow, he saw Yu Xi and the other two sitting outside.
Yu Xi supported her chin and looked up at the sky in a daze, Zhong Xian lowered his head to look at something, Cui Yuankui sat beside her, and nimbly picked off the big pearl on Yu Xi's tail with his hands to prevent it from disturbing her when she fell asleep.
There was also a ball of magic next to him that was emitting white light, serving as a candle for the bell strings.
Seeing Qingpei coming over, Zhong Xian raised his head and said, "It's getting late. Xiao Xi'er should rest. Children shouldn't stay up late."
Yu Xi came back to his senses, rubbed his eyes, and had no objection.
She was just worried about the situation outside the secret realm.
She and her brother were taken into the secret realm, but Sect Master Mingde was still outside.
She knew how powerful Sect Master Mingde was, and she didn't know how Brother Su and the others were doing now.
But mother must have arrived.
When Yu Xi thought of Luo Chunxi, she felt safe. Although she was still a little worried, she knew that she dared not and could not let herself be distracted before rescuing Zhong Xian.
After resting in the bamboo house for a night, Cui Yuankui took Yu Xi to the shelter early the next day.
Cui Yuankui came to the shelter to set up a barrier and let Yu Xi find the way so that if something really happened, Yu Xi could rush to the shelter as soon as possible.
The shelter was extremely hidden, built inside the mountains, with plenty of food and water. If it weren't for Cui Yuankui leading the way, Yu Xi would definitely not have found it.
"Once the barrier I set up is attacked, it will immediately activate and form a circle of protection to resist any attack."
Cui Yuankui raised his sword and injected a large amount of spiritual energy into the mountain:
"This is the nearest shelter to Qiuluo City. If there's any danger, little sister, run here immediately."
"Can it withstand any attack?" Yu Xi looked at the surrounding environment and hesitated, "But this is inside the mountain. If the mountain is destroyed, this place will be buried as well."
Cui Yuankui smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if the mountain collapses, the barrier will remain here to protect the people inside."
As he spoke, all the spiritual energy in Cui Yuankui's hands disappeared into the mountains. His face turned slightly paler, but the barrier was completed.
Yu Xi quickly supported him.
"It's okay, it's just that the energy consumption of this barrier is a bit high."
Seeing Yu Xi's worry, Cui Yuankui waved his hands and pretended to be fine. "Let me rest for two days and then I'll take you to another shelter. I'll be able to set up the entire barrier in about ten days. By then—"
His voice suddenly stopped, and there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy around him.
He took out the sound-gathering bowl from the storage ring, and saw a burning talisman paper flying out of it.
This is the sound transmission paper that immortal monks use in emergency situations.
"Brother Cui, something happened, hurry back inside!"
Cui Yuankui's expression changed slightly. "What happened?"
"Uncle Song betrayed Master! He stabbed Master in the back with a sword. Chu Xiao wanted to take advantage of our misfortune. All the cultivators from the same faction as us were surrounded and attacked. Chu Xiao has already attacked us!
"Brother, please come back soon, we can't hold on any longer!"
The talisman paper burned out as the words fell, indicating that the monk who transmitted the message had encountered trouble.
Cui Yuankui almost immediately took Yu Xi out of the mountains and headed straight for Qiuluo City.
Yu Xi noticed that Cui Yuankui's hands were shaking, and asked quickly, "Are you going back to Songshan Sect?"
"I have to go back. Uncle Song, Song Yun, is Master's best friend and a fellow disciple. He's the person Master trusts the most. He actually betrayed Master. Master's current situation must be very difficult."
Cui Yuankui's voice was calm, but the calmer he spoke, the colder the coldness in his eyes became.
Song Yun knew too much about his master, and his betrayal alone was a heavy blow to his master.
Not to mention he also hurt the master!
He returned as quickly as possible, handed Yu Xi to Zhong Xian first, briefly explained the situation to Zhong Xian, and immediately returned to Songshan Sect.
At the same time, Zhong Xian also entered a state of alert to reduce the flow of people in Qiuluo City and speed up the construction of the shelter.
The people who built the shelter are the ones he trusts the most. If an accident happens, these people will lead the people in Qiuluo City to the shelter.
During this period, Yu Xi spent most of her time with Qingpei or Granny Liang, who took care of children in the city.
She couldn't stop the Immortal Gate, so she could only help Zhong Xian pay attention to the situation in the city and eliminate some hidden dangers as soon as possible.
The rumor that Zhong Xian killed his parents and was a pure ghost had spread. Most people in Qiuluo City did not take it seriously, but people in other cities did care about it very much.
