Chapter three hundred and twenty fourth dead in one night
It was almost dawn when the rain finally stopped.
There was a step distance between them, and they walked out of the cave one behind the other.
Gu Yuqi: "I'm leaving."
Tong Yan glanced at his back and said without hesitation, "Me too." He turned around and set off first.
The spirit sword flew very fast, and in a few breaths, her figure disappeared into the horizon.
After a moment, Gu Yuqi looked away, his lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, and he murmured: "It seems that she leaves first every time."
And he is always watching from behind.
When we returned to Yi Mansion, it was already broad daylight. The familiar maids we met on the road thought that Tong Yan had been up early.
She just smiled at this and did not answer. She went straight back to the guest room. When she opened the door, she was shocked to find someone sitting inside.
"Master, why are you in my room?" Shang Xun sat quietly in his original position again just like when he came back from going out with Yi Wei for the first time.
The light suddenly shone in. Shang Xun raised his head and looked slowly. At first glance, he noticed that she had changed her clothes. A trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he lightly opened his thin lips: "What are you doing when you get up so early?"
Did you say that you didn't come home all night, or did you just follow his words and blur it out?
"I went out for a walk and didn't do anything." Tong Yan hesitated for a moment and chose to muddle through vaguely. He wanted to tell the master that he was going to find Gu Yuqi and interfere in the Sword Sect's affairs. He might be scolded for meddling in other people's affairs.
Shang Xun, who had been waiting all night without waiting for anyone to come back, heard this and smiled slightly, his eyes a little colder. It was so good that he dared to lie to him.
Tong Yan gradually realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He stood up straight under Shang Xun's gaze, swallowed his saliva, and worriedly wondered if he didn't believe what he just said, otherwise why would he look at her like this.
"...Master, why do you want to see me so early?" she asked boldly.
Shang Xun stood up and walked over. There were obvious creases on the gorgeous brocade robe on his body. This was the result of long pressure. At first glance, it looked decadent.
Standing still in front of her, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a certain spot on her shoulder. It was the dust he had rubbed against the stone wall. When he met her anxious eyes, he smoothed the corners of his mouth and said in an indistinguishable tone: "Take care of it.
We will return to the clan today."
"Oh, okay, master."
Shang Xun suddenly raised his hand and patted the dust on her shoulder, then walked out under Tong Yan's puzzled gaze.
"Why are you patting me?" After the person left, Tong Yan turned to look at his shoulder, only to see that there were still faint mud marks where Shang Xun had patted him before.
Oh, she seems to have exposed something. She needs to drink a glass of water to calm down.
When I poured the tea, I found that the tea kettle was empty, and there was only half a cup of cold tea in front of where Shang Xun was sitting.
Tong Yan was sure that the teapot was full when he went out last night, but it was empty after one night.
Master, you shouldn't sit here and wait for her all night, right?
After bidding farewell to the host's family, Tong Yan, He Zhan and others boarded Shang Xun's flying magic weapon, left Weicheng and headed for Mocha Sect.
In the wild half an hour away from Weicheng, a lot of people gathered here for some reason. The flying magic weapon stopped nearby. Several people learned about a major event from the chatter of the onlookers.
The Jianzong group who left the Yi Mansion last night died. Of the nearly twenty people, only three survived. Xu Juren was seriously injured and survived. A Foundation Establishment disciple narrowly escaped death with a broken leg. Elder Zhao, who had the highest level of cultivation, only
Hanging with only one breath left, Xu Juren carried him to Weicheng for help.
The murderer who almost wiped them out, the man who massacred them with no humanity, was none other than the possessed traitor Gu Yuqi. This was witnessed and described by the surviving Jianzong disciples.
After hearing this, Tong Yan felt his head was buzzing, and he couldn't even hear the indignant and righteous accusations and curses from the onlookers.
Almost all the people of Jianzong died in the night, and Gu Yuqi happened to be seriously injured. Such a coincidence made Tong Yan couldn't help but suspect that he was responsible for everything.
He said that he was hurt by a mysterious person. After all, it was just one side of his story. Who can guarantee that he was not lying to himself?
The abnormality in Tong Yan's expression can be seen with a little more carefulness. He withdrew his gaze and Shang Xun's eyelids drooped slightly, covering the thoughts under his eyes. After a moment, he drove the magic weapon forward with all his strength as if nothing had happened.
Neither left nor right can influence them, so why bother to ask more questions.
The speed of returning to the sect was much faster than when the three of them left. When he saw the outline of the sect, Tong Yan had not yet figured out whether he had been deceived or whether Gu Yuqi had been wronged.
There is a formation on Luohua Peak, and the scenery on the mountain is like spring all year round. When she returned to her small courtyard, she also saw a scene of flowers blooming.
In the past few days since she came back, she had spent a rare few days busy with farming, weeding the fields, transplanting, and expanding the land. She continued to do one thing after another, and she was very busy.
When I feel tired, I sit down in the yard, drink a cup of hot tea, and enjoy the spring scenery in the garden. It feels like I’ve had a half-day of leisure.
I don't know what happened to Shang Xun in the past two days. He always sent Luo Dong to bring things over, including magic weapons, tools, and spiritual stones. He even brought a well-behaved spiritual beast to show her the yard.
The spiritual pet is as fluffy as a poodle. It usually likes to bask in the sun in the yard. It sleeps all day long and looks very lazy. But as soon as it finds someone entering the yard, it will open its eyes as soon as possible and be alert.
looked over.
Tong Yan is a person who loves pets but doesn't like pets very much. If she hadn't heard that this spiritual beast could be fed by eating some spiritual stones and elixirs, she might not have stayed.
After staying at home for several days, He Zhan brought her back to tell her any major events within the sect. The only major event recently was preparations for a new round of sect competitions.
Disciples participating in the competition must have a Jindan or lower level. Last time, Xiao Lou and He Zhan were unable to participate because they were too young and had insufficient cultivation. This time, if the conditions are met, they will definitely sign up.
Thinking that he was going to watch the match between the two anyway, Tong Yan simply decided to take a position in maintaining the safety of the stage and become a referee.
She did what she said without much delay. She immediately left Luo Huafeng and went to the place where disciple information was registered. She updated her own cultivation level and received the sect uniform of Jindan cultivation level. Then she came to the place where all matters for the competition were arranged.
The person in charge is here.
The person in charge was surprised. After all, with her status, she didn't have to do these chores at all. Most direct disciples focused on their cultivation, and very few were willing to do things that were not helpful to their cultivation.
Surprised, the other party persisted after simple persuasion. Naturally, the person in charge didn't say anything else. He registered Tong Yan's name, arranged a conspicuous position, and handed her a duty sign.
Tell her, "You must carry it with you throughout the competition."
Then he seemed to think of something again. The person in charge hesitated for a moment and asked, "I would like to ask my uncle if he knows Yang Qi."
"Yang Qi? I know a man named Yang Qi." Speaking of Yang Qi, Tong Yan hasn't seen him much since he became a disciple.
Person in charge: "The Yang Qi I'm talking about is the one that my uncle knows. A year ago, he had his arms broken by someone from the Chai family. He is still lying in bed recovering from his injuries. If my uncle is free, you might as well go and see him."
"
Then he quickly explained: "I only found out about this matter because I have some friendship with Yang Qi's master. After his disciple was beaten, he insisted on running to ask for an explanation. He was kicked out without even seeing anyone."
He felt sorry for his friend, so he rashly asked about it based on the rumor he heard by chance that Yang Qi knew Luo Huafeng's direct lineage.
