Chapter 243: Cubs meet Zong Shao for the first time
Under normal circumstances, outer disciples are not allowed to enter the inner gate at will, but with the warm porcelain paper crane as a guide, the two of them flew all the way in on the paper crane. Someone saw them on the way and did not stop them.
After all, among the outer sect disciples, there are also people who have been favored by the inner sect elders for a long time.
Although he cannot be admitted as a disciple due to the rules of the sect, his treatment is almost the same as that of an inner sect disciple due to the care of the elders.
The paper crane flew briskly and steadily, and soon brought the two of them to a small mountain peak, landing halfway up the mountain. It happened that there were two or three rows of simple bamboo houses scattered about halfway up the mountain.
There were restrictions outside these bamboo houses and no one was allowed to approach them at will. When Xiao Yan saw it, he did not step forward easily. Instead, he took Ye Taotao's hand and stood there obediently waiting.
After the paper crane landed, it quickly transformed into a small paper crane less than the size of a palm.
Qianzhihe glanced at Ye Taotao with his ink-dot-sized eyes, then flapped his wings and flew into one of the bamboo houses.
Soon the restrictions outside the bamboo house were lifted, and a familiar man's voice came from inside.
"Junior Brother Xiao, Junior Sister Taotao, come in."
Ye Taotao was looking around curiously, twitching her nostrils from time to time, trying to smell the scent of the demon in the air and find his hiding place.
Xiao Yan heard that Wen Ci's voice in the bamboo house was a little weak, and knew that his injury at this moment must be serious.
He couldn't understand how the good Wen Ci could be so seriously injured, but he was still very concerned in his heart. He immediately pulled Ye Taotao, who was looking around for traces of the demon, into the bamboo house.
From the outside, the main house looks very small and simple, but when you walk in, you find that there is something special inside.
I don't know what kind of magic was used, but the room is very spacious. All kinds of furnishings are available inside. After passing through several curtains and screens, there is the bed where Wen Ci lies.
He lay down on the bed, not meditating, and his long hair was not tied up. It was scattered all over his shoulders, making him look particularly embarrassed.
His face was extremely pale, his lips had lost all color, and a layer of white skin had appeared. Even if he didn't use spiritual power to explore his meridians, looking at his appearance, he knew that he was seriously injured.
Although Ye Taotao was thinking about the demon in her heart, when she saw Wen Ci looking so sick, she couldn't help but feel concerned, and immediately ran to the bedside with her short legs.
"Senior Brother Wen, how do you feel? How could you be so seriously injured?"
Ye Taotao thought, could it be related to that demon?
So as he spoke, he moved his nose to remove the smell of rust and warm porcelain, and sure enough, he smelled that familiar smell again.
Wen Ci looked at the little girl's concerned face, twitched the corners of his lips, and smiled at her, "I'm fine. I'll just rest for a few days and I'll be fine."
Ye Taotao thought to herself, it doesn't look like you are in any serious trouble.
Although she was complaining, she immediately took out a bottle of the healing elixir Xiao Yan had refined for him from her pocket and delivered it to Wen Ci.
"This is a healing elixir. Brother Wen, can you try using it?" Ye Taotao said.
Wen Ci stretched out her hand and pushed it back. Although she was downcast, she was still very relaxed and said, "I'm not going to ask you for something belonging to a little girl."
Ye Taotao pouted her lips unhappily and muttered in a low voice: "But aren't we friends? Friends should help each other."
Wen Ci was stunned, and saw that the little girl was actually unhappy because he refused to accept her pill. She felt helpless, so she had to reach out and take it again.
"Forget it, since we are friends, I will accept this elixir. Thank you Taotao."
Seeing Wen Ci accept the elixir, Ye Taotao raised the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, showing a sweet smile, and then asked about the thing she wanted to know.
"Senior Brother Wen, how could you be injured when you are so good?" Ye Taotao blinked his big eyes, seeming to be concerned and more curious, "Where have you been? How could you be so seriously injured?"
Wen Ci subconsciously recalled the cold appearance of her master a few days ago, and couldn't help feeling sad, but she was unwilling to tell the truth to others.
This is only a matter between him and his master, and there is no need to let others know.
Thinking like this, Wen Ci lowered her eyes and said in a calm tone: "It's nothing, it's just that something went wrong during the past two days of practice."
No, he is lying!
Ye Taotao could tell at a glance that Wen Ci's words were insincere, and knew that he must be hiding something.
But why hide it?
The little monster asked unwillingly: "You haven't been out in the past few days. Have you seen other people?"
Wen Ci was a little surprised and didn't understand why she asked like this, so she shook her head honestly.
"I came back here after we parted that day. I haven't gone out in recent days. What's more, there is no one else on Qingyun Peak except Master and me. Even a few senior brothers went out for training early and haven't come back for many years."
This made Ye Taotao even more strange, and made Ye Taotao even more determined to find this demon.
She found a reason to get out of the bamboo house, leaving Xiao Yan and Wen Ci inside, while she looked around curiously.
Except for the smell of Wen Ci, there was no smell of demons nearby. Ye Taotao walked around the bamboo house twice and saw nothing.
At this time, Xiao Yan's voice came from inside the bamboo house, "Taotao, don't run around."
The little monster had no choice but to give up his thoughts for the time being, said "oh" obediently, and prepared to return to the bamboo house.
But before she could take a step, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her. The dark shadow pressed down and blocked the sunlight.
"Huh?" Ye Taotao looked up curiously.
A figure stood directly in front of him. He was tall, with muscles all over his body. He was wearing a simple green robe, and his chest was open, revealing his strong bronze skin.
"Hahaha," the figure looked down at Ye Taotao, stretched out his hand to touch his head, and let out a hearty laugh, "Where did you come from? Why did you appear here? Could it be that these days when I left, Master
Do you respect your new junior sister?"
Ye Taotao:?(?–?)?Ah?
Wen Ci in the room also heard the noise outside, supported her weak body, and said loudly in the room: "Brother, when did you come back?"
Hearing Wen Ci's voice, the man moved his gaze away from Ye Taotao and strode towards the bamboo house where Wen Ci lived.
"Junior brother, why are you injured?" Seeing the injured Wen Ci, the man couldn't help but be shocked.
Wen Ci gave a wry smile and recounted the reason why Ye Taotao had just been prevaricated. Then she introduced Xiao Yan: "This is my senior brother, Zong Shao."
Zong Shao smiled heartily and greeted Xiao Yan without any intention of looking down on him as an outer disciple.
"By the way, Junior Brother," Zong Shao suddenly remembered something, lowered his head and looked at Wen Ci, and asked, "Is Master on the mountain now? I haven't been back for many years, so I should go see him first. I must have been traveling for so many years.
Master must be thinking about me very much, right?"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Ci, who was resting on the bed, suddenly sat up and stretched out a hand to grab his arm, "Don't go!"
