When Ye Xiaochuan flew to Lantian County, he immediately became cautious.
It was already dark now, and it had been almost an hour since he came out to pursue Yuan Xiaolou.
Now there are many cultivators in Guanzhong looking for him. Shangguan Yu can meet cultivators as long as he walks on the street.
He was afraid that Shangguan Yu had run away and betrayed him, so he did not fall into the yard immediately to avoid being ambushed.
After observing for a while in mid-air, with his consciousness and mind open, he found no cultivators ambushing around him, and the lights in the rooms in the courtyard were still on.
He drew his bladeless sword and dropped it into the yard.
Everything was quiet except for the night wind blowing by and the leaves of the crooked old tree in the yard making a rustling sound.
The door was open. When he walked to the door, he found that Shangguan Yu had not escaped. He was sitting on the bed where he and Yuan Xiaolou had slept for more than half a year, pointing at the bronze mirror, as if he was worried about his current ugliness.
Very dissatisfied with the appearance.
Seeing Ye Xiaochuan walking in with a bladeless sword, she said, "Are you surprised that I didn't escape?"
Ye Xiaochuan Wufeng put it into his sheath and said: "It is indeed a bit unexpected.
Why don't you run away?"
Shangguan Yu asked, "Why should I run away?"
Ye Xiaochuan was puzzled.
Shangguan Yu stood up and said: "Actually, the entire Xuantian Sect's top management knows Zuo Qiu's identity, so everyone alienates her and excludes her.
If Zuo Qiu has friends in Xuantian Sect, then her only friend is me."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Shangguan Yu said: "You and Zuo Qiu only met in Northern Xinjiang and have only known each other for more than ten years, yet you can save her at all costs.
Zuo Qiu and I have known each other since childhood, and we are her only friends. She has never done anything wrong, so naturally I don't want her to die.
If you could exchange me for Zuo Qiu, I would, so I didn't run away, it's that simple."
Ye Xiaochuan stared at Shangguan Yu, and Shangguan Yu also looked at him.
Ye Xiaochuan saw the determination in Shangguan Yu's eyes, felt that he was not lying, and believed what she just said.
Shangguan Yu said: "I'm so hungry. I'm going to the kitchen to get some food. There are some letters left by your wife in the box. Please read them slowly. I won't disturb you anymore."
Ye Xiaochuan looked at Shangguan Yu who was walking by. He said nothing because he didn't know what to say.
There is no distinction between good and evil in everything in the world.
Only the human heart can distinguish between good and evil.
Since Shangguan Yu took the initiative to stay and exchanged himself for Zuo Qiu, it shows that this person's heart is different from that of Li Xuanyin and Qiankunzi.
Ye Xiaochuan walked to the bed and opened the wooden box. Inside were the letters left to him by Yuan Xiaolou these years.
He frowned.
Because these letters were all opened, Shangguan Yu probably opened them and read them while he was away.
Every envelope was bulging with stuffing, which showed that Yuan Xiaolou had a lot to say to Ye Xiaochuan every time he left here.
Ye Xiaochuan read each letter one by one.
He was originally worried that Yuan Xiaolou would mention something confidential in the letter and Shangguan Yu would see it.
After reading a few letters, he found that he thought too much.
Most of the letters contained her longing for Ye Xiaochuan and interesting stories about her journey.
There was no mention of the time when he and Wang Keke went to the Wanhu Ancient Cave in Qilin Mountain.
This made Ye Xiaochuan feel a little relieved.
My own power and deployment have not yet had the time to be displayed in front of others.
If Shangguanyu knew about his deployment in the Ancient Ten Thousand Fox Cave in Qilin Mountain, Ye Xiaochuan would not be able to let Shangguanyu go. Even if he did not kill her, he would still have to put her under house arrest for a period of time.
After reading all the letters, Ye Xiaochuan sat on the edge of the bed blankly.
He always felt sorry for Yuan Xiaolou and had owed her too much.
Suddenly, Wang Keke called via video call.
After he connected, he saw Wang Keke's sinister-looking head appearing in the magic sound mirror.
Wang Keke looked around, and then whispered: "Sect Master, have you eaten?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "I was just looking for you. Is there any news about Zuo Qiu at the Holy Mountain?"
Wang Keke said: "I personally took action, and naturally I gained something.
Li Xuanyin seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with Guan Shaoqin. News just came from Piaomiao Pavilion that they agreed to extradite Zuo Qiu.
Representatives of various factions discussed and reached a result today. A public trial will be held against Zuo Qiu in the Holy Mountain in seven days. After the trial, Zuo Qiu will be beheaded.
They just want to use Zuo Qiu to force you out.
What do we do now?"
Ye Xiaochuan asked: "Where are our people?"
Wang Keke said: "Yesterday morning, I sent word to Ge Ling and Yan Feng that they had accelerated their march. At noon today, they had sneaked into Qilin Mountain and are now on standby at Wanhu Ancient Cave.
We, the more than a thousand Lingji masters, can do many things. Even if we come to the sacred mountain to rob the Dharma Field, it is not impossible.
As long as you give the order, I will take these people and kidnap Zuo Qiu halfway."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Piaomiao Pavilion is not far from the Holy Mountain. Now a large number of cultivators have gathered in both the Holy Mountain and Piaomiao Pavilion. It is very dangerous to try to rob Zuo Qiu halfway.
Although those disciples have very high cultivation levels, they lack actual combat experience and there is still a lot of room for improvement in their combat prowess.
Now that Shangguan Yu is in my hands, her status in Xuantian Sect is very important. Using her to replace Zuo Qiu is more than enough.
Since they agreed that Zuo Qiu would be put on trial seven days later, they would use this time to let Ge Ling and others carry out their original plan to collect food. After collecting the food, they would immediately rush to the Holy Mountain. They must arrive before Zuo Qiu's public trial.
Also, they must be told to disguise themselves, change their clothes and accents, and never reveal their identities.”
Wang Keke nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have already told them this.
Speaking of clothing, should the clothing style of the disciples of our sect be finalized? Personally, I prefer yellow clothing, preferably those embroidered with gold thread. When the sun shines, the golden light will shine, which will definitely be powerful and domineering and scare the enemy.
Courage."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "You first prepare a few samples of disciple clothing. Let's meet and discuss it when we have time.
After all, this is the uniform uniform of the disciples, and I will have to seek the opinions of those disciples when the time comes.
By the way, there is one more thing. Xiaolou, her grandfather, and Fan Tong went to the Holy Mountain today. You should keep an eye on the Holy Mountain and take them away as soon as they show up."
"ah?
My niece and the fortune teller are here?
Why are they here? I want to take Ge Ling and others to open a warehouse to store grain! Isn't this causing trouble for me!"
"Don't you need to worry about robbing food? If there are only a dozen Taiping warehouses and more than a thousand Lingji disciples can mess up this matter, then they will all die."
Wang Keke muttered and seemed very depressed.
In his opinion, it is more interesting to grab food.
If you want to stay in this sacred mountain for seven days, you won't die of boredom?
But Ye Xiaochuan even spoke, and it was hard for him to disobey.
I had no choice but to depressedly agree to stay in the sacred mountain and squat in Yuan Xiaolou with the old storyteller.
