Chapter 40: Bad Woman p1
Chuanfu Cave suddenly rippled, and a faint white light appeared in the sky, gradually expanding outwards.
While everyone was still waiting for the passage to stabilize, three figures flew past at an extremely fast speed, recklessly jumping directly into the cave and instantly disappearing from their sight.
Ji Zhu: “???”
Wait, are they that decisive?
Jiang Bai looked up quietly, showing no emotion.
“This… they’re really daring,” Xia Ye said, hesitating. The exit passage had not yet completely stabilized, and the spatial power inside would be very distorted. If one was not careful, they would be torn to pieces by the distorted spatial power. This was also the reason why they were waiting patiently.
Qiong Yin sighed lightly. “It’s better than having a direct conflict with us after it stabilizes.”
By going out while the exit passage was unstable, they had almost calculated that they would not risk chasing after them. As long as they could successfully get outside, as the first group to come out, the people outside would not know the situation inside, and they had a high chance of successfully escaping.
“Let’s go. Let’s go out first,” seeing that the passage was slowly stabilizing, Jiang Bai reminded them.
As soon as her voice fell, a figure quickly jumped into the passage, leaving them only with a beautiful and slender back.
The speed was too fast, as if she couldn’t wait to get out.
Qiong Yin and the others were choked. Ji Zhu, on the other hand, was so pleased that her eyes lit up. Xia Ye’s eager attitude must be to see Elder Su Xin earlier!
At least she still has a heart.
Ji Zhu quickly urged the enchantress to follow. She wanted to see if Xia Ye was really in a hurry to find Su Xin.
Jiang Bai did not hesitate either. She held her and entered the passage. The others also followed closely behind. They passed through a long passage and did not see any traces of the three people who had been there before. After coming out, the first thing Ji Zhu did was to search for Xia Ye and Su Xin.
Sure enough, when she saw Xia Ye, who was holding Su Xin tightly in her arms, Ji Zhu’s ears twitched, and she flicked her tail, chuckling.
This person still hasn’t forgotten Su Xin.
However, Su Xin, who was being held, had an extremely ugly face. It was not good to show it too obviously and cause others to over-speculate. She could only try to pry Xia Ye’s arms off her while sending a voice transmission to let her go.
Many people’s gazes were already on her, and some people even had a pensive and solemn expression on their faces, their gazes a little cold.
“No, I haven’t seen you for so long,” Xia Ye’s voice was a little choked when she said this. When she was inside, besides not having time to think about Su Xin between life and death, there was not a second when she did not think of her!
The members of the Hehuan Sect who followed in saw this situation. After Qiong Yin took the lead and hugged her tightly, the others also immediately reacted and went forward to hug Su Xin. Even Ji Zhu joined in the fun, lying on Su Xin’s head and hugging her. For a time, Su Xin was surrounded and hugged by many people, which made Xia Ye’s previous action of hugging her not so conspicuous and eye-catching.
Now that so many of them were hugging together, it was also quite eye-catching. But in the end, it would not make people feel strange, but would only think that their relationship was good.
Changsun Qiyu and the others who came out later were only slightly stunned when they saw this situation. They then searched for people in the crowd. Not seeing the three disciples who had originally belonged to the Immortal Sword Sect, they had no choice but to find Wei Yongyuan to ask what the situation was before and where the people who had come out had gone.
“They said they wanted to go back to rest early and left first. By the way, why didn’t you all come out together?” an elder of the Immortal Sword Sect asked in confusion.
Changsun Qiyu’s face darkened slightly. In the end, it was Wei Yan behind her, who had barely escaped with his life, who said through gritted teeth, “Those three are demonic cultivators! Not only did they kill the other disciples, but they also seriously injured me and Senior Sister!”
Changsun Qiyu had met the people of the Hehuan Sect and had received timely treatment, but he was not so lucky. Although he had barely escaped with his life in the end, his foundation had been injured. In the future, it would be difficult for his cultivation to improve, so how could he not hate it!
“What?!”
The elder exclaimed, and then he suddenly realized that only three people had come out this time. He quickly reached out to check on Wei Yan’s condition. When he sensed a demonic qi that was constantly eroding his heart meridian, his face suddenly darkened.
Wei Yongyuan could not sit still either. He sent a stream of spiritual energy into Changsun Qiyu’s body. After finding no problems on her, his face finally relaxed a little.
“What’s the specific situation? Tell me in detail.”
While they were busy with serious matters, Su Xin, who was surrounded by people and even had a cat on her head, was full of question marks. Her usually serious and proper face couldn’t help but show a bit of shyness from their actions, and her cheeks were slightly red as she reprimanded, “Stand properly! What does this look like now!”
Hearing her say this, Qiong Yin and the others smiled and let go, their hands behind their backs as they smiled at Su Xin with a well-behaved look.
Xia Ye had no choice but to let go. In fact, she had almost gritted her teeth when Qiong Yin and the others had hugged her just now. But she understood their good intentions, so she did not act up and pretended to be on good terms with Su Xin with them.
Su Xin grabbed the cat from her head. Meeting Ji Zhu’s happy and innocent eyes, Su Xin couldn’t really do anything to her. She could only resentfully rub her cheeks and then stuff her into Jiang Bai’s arms.
After so many years, this little cat’s habit of joining in the fun hasn’t changed at all!
Now she even dares to climb on my head!
To put Su Xin at ease, Qiong Yin briefly told Su Xin about their situation inside. Su Xin saw that they had all returned safely, and the heart that had been hanging was also put down. But when they talked about the demonic cultivators, her face couldn’t help but change slightly.
“I understand. At that time, the people of the Immortal Sword Sect will definitely come out to give everyone an explanation. You all go back first,” Su Xin said.
They had been inside for so many years, and their nerves must have been tense all the time. It was best to let them go back and have a good rest first.
“Alright, Elder, be careful,” Jiang Bai replied.
Su Xin nodded. Since there could be three hidden demonic cultivators in the Immortal Sword Sect, who knew if there were others?
Xia Ye looked at Su Xin reluctantly. In the end, she was still pulled away by her junior sister and junior brother. After such a thing had happened, Su Xin would definitely have to stay and discuss the situation of the demonic cultivators with the other sects.
Returning to the Immortal Sword Sect, when they passed by the Qianren Sect’s courtyard, they could clearly sense that the Qianren Sect’s faces were not right. After all, they had managed to get two disciples in, but not a single one had come out. To lose two talented disciples at once, they were still holding back a breath of anger.
Seeing the people of the Hehuan Sect, their faces changed, and they were about to open their mouths to mock them, as they had done many times in the past.
However, this time, Jiang Bai was too lazy to bother with them. The moment before they could say anything, they were directly repelled by a stream of spiritual energy from Jiang Bai’s wave. She glanced at them sideways, and the cold pressure in her eyes made their steps heavy and they were frozen in place, unable to move.
Jiang Bai’s lips curled up slightly. She no longer bothered with their green and white faces and led the others back to the courtyard. The other disciples who had come out to participate in the grand competition had already returned to the sect. There was not much for them to do next, and they would probably be able to go back tomorrow.
Even if the Immortal Sword Sect wanted to investigate the matter of the demonic cultivators, it had nothing to do with them. Moreover, the Immortal Sword Sect would definitely be in a mess for a while. In this situation, they probably would not want the people of the other sects to continue to stay in the Immortal Sword Sect.
Returning to her room, Ji Zhu got down from Jiang Bai and stretched on the ground, looking at everything around her with a bit of a daze.
Sixteen years had passed in a flash, and she had been in this world for more than sixteen years. She seemed to be getting more and more used to this world.
She looked back at the enchantress. She really hadn’t expected to have been by her side for so many years.
“What are you thinking about?” Jiang Bai went forward and rubbed her head.
Ji Zhu tilted her head and chuckled. “I was thinking that I could only live for ten or twenty years, but now I can live for a long time!”
With this lifespan extended, it made her always feel that she hadn’t grown up. Especially since everyone doted on her, she naturally had no concept of growing up.
Hearing her say this, Jiang Bai pinched her ear. “Only two hundred years.”
She was now at the Foundation Establishment stage. If she could not break through to the Golden Core stage before she was two hundred years old, then her lifespan would be over.
“You’re so greedy,” Ji Zhu gave her a small sidelong glance. For her original world, where the average lifespan was seventy or eighty years, two hundred years was already a lot!
“But I can live for at least a thousand years,” Jiang Bai said in a light voice.
Ji Zhu was choked by her words. After thinking about it, it was true. If she died at the age of two hundred, wouldn’t the enchantress have to live for so long alone?
Thinking about it… it was quite heartbreaking.
Ji Zhu was a little dejected. If she couldn’t live that long, she didn’t know if the enchantress would be lonely by herself. But did she need her company?
Ji Zhu was not sure. After all, the enchantress did not seem to be someone who could not live without someone.
She turned around and buried her head in the enchantress’s lap, knocking it a few times from time to time, feeling extremely frustrated in her heart.
She found that she seemed to be a little inseparable from the enchantress.
In the past, she had never felt that there was anything wrong with being alone. In fact, she quite enjoyed her time alone. After getting off work every day, she would stay in her own house, watch movies, and play games, and she was very entertained.
But now… it seemed that everything had changed.
Jiang Bai didn’t understand why her mood had suddenly dropped. She picked her up, but she was unwilling to let her see her face, and kept burying her head in her neck, rubbing against her and making her itchy.
She rubbed her head, and Jiang Bai sighed lightly in her heart. She clearly knew that this little thing had many things hidden from her, but she couldn’t bring herself to force a confession, so she could only pretend not to care.
Really… she was being controlled by her.
