The ninth day of the ninth month was the day that the small world opened. It was already the first day of the ninth month. No matter if it was the sects from Kunlun paradise or the original sects from Desolate Land and Sunset Wasteland, they all gathered at Xiaguang Town under Tianyun Sect's mountain.
The originally peaceful town was bustling with people right now. The atmosphere was strange.
It was noon when Su Wan followed Master Mo to Xiaguang Town. The scorching sun was high in the sky and the town was bustling with activity. There was a lot of traffic but she couldn't feel a trace of heat.
Cold.
The aura flowing around everyone was oppressive and cold.
Master Mo didn't bring his sister this time nor did he let anyone else follow. He only brought Su Wan this time.
This might be the final battle.
He knew that Xu Ce had a plan to capture everyone in one fell swoop at this time's banquet!
This might be good but …
Su Rui couldn't help but glance at Su Wan beside him. This little snake, no, maybe he should call her Su Wan.
What should she do?
This was what Su Rui was most conflicted about. After being together for decades, he realized that he couldn't do anything to her. He wouldn't even allow others to do anything to her in front of him.
Su Rui was conflicted when he suddenly sensed a familiar aura. He looked up and saw a group of people wearing immortal robes walking into the town. Their robes all had a lifelike cauldron embroidered with golden threads. This was Daqi Sect's disciple uniform!
It was Yun Sheng and Shang Nianhua.
Su Rui immediately saw the outstanding Hou Bingchen among the disciples. He was Daqi Sect's genius so he naturally stood in the middle of the disciples. The delicate and petite woman following him was his sister, Hou Bingning.
Mn, mission enforcer Shang Nianhua.
Su Rui's gaze flashed past the two people, not seeming to care much. But Su Wan, who was beside him, had long noticed his expression. Su Wan's gaze flashed, secretly remembering those two people.
Master Mo took special care of them. They should be … mission enforcers?
Su Wan understood but she continued to follow Master Mo calmly. "Master, it seems like a lot of people came to Xiaguang Town. Those people are from Daqi Sect right? Ah, isn't that Taiyi Sect's people? There was also the Joyous Gate. How lively! Are we going to look for the people from Medicine Valley? "
"No, let's find a place to stay first."
Su Rui didn't want to meet up with the people from the Medicinal Valley right now. He actually preferred to be alone with her.
"Oh, got it."
Su Wan answered and followed Su Rui into an inn in the center of the town. As soon as they entered the inn, the two felt cold all over.
The hall of the inn was filled with Yin Qi. A large group of disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect in black robes were sitting in groups of twos and threes, chatting about something. In the innermost seat of the inn, near the window, sat a thin figure. His entire face was hidden in the darkness, and no one could see his appearance. However, the fiery red Ten Thousand Ghost Banner beside him constantly reminded everyone of his identity.
The sect master of the Dark Ghost Sect, Xuan Yuanshi.
Feeling Su Rui and Su Wan's gazes, Xuan Yuanshi suddenly lifted his head. His face was still covered by the black mist. He glanced at Su Rui and then his gaze landed on Su Wan. After looking at her for a long time, he said in a low voice, "Are you Master Mo of the Medicinal Valley?"
His androgynous voice was mixed with a bit of hoarseness.
"That's me. Greetings to Sect Master Xuan Yuan."
Su Rui nodded at Xuan Yuanshi. When Xuan Yuanshi glanced at him, Su Rui felt incomparably fearful.
Very dangerous! This person!
Ever since he came to Cangyue Mainland, Su Rui knew that this cultivation world had existed for thousands of years. There were a lot of hidden experts living here as well as many powerful figures.
Mission enforcers didn't just have to be on guard against their opponents. They also had to be on guard against the local cultivators in this world.
Disregarding everything else, there were definitely dozens of mission enforcers who were killed by the local cultivators. There might even be more than one.
Therefore, Su Rui had to be careful facing Xuan Yuanshi right now.
Thankfully, Xuan Yuanshi didn't seem to want to make things difficult for them. He just casually said a few words to Su Rui before leaving.
Su Rui and Su Wan sighed in relief. The two asked for two rooms from the shopkeeper and then returned to their rooms to meditate.
What Su Wan didn't expect was that while she was meditating in her room, Xuan Yuanshi in the other room used his spiritual power to create a water mirror. Su Wan's every move appeared in the mirror.
Xuan Yuanshi stared at Su Wan's hand for a long time. In the end, he gently took off the hat on his head. The black mist on his face dissipated, revealing a cute and sweet young lady's face.
This was Xuan Yuanshi's true appearance. Even the elders of the Yin Ghost Sect didn't know that their mysterious sect master was a young lady.
No, to be precise, she had lived for over five thousand years.
She was once an abandoned child. The Flame Immortal adopted her. Because when the Flame Immortal picked her up, there was the word "Shi" embroidered on the parcel she was wrapped in, he gave her the name "Shi."
"Xiao Bai."
At this time, a soft call rang in Xuan Yuanshi's ears. That voice was so familiar and intimate.
"Brother Baiye?"
Xuan Yuanshi turned around in surprise. As expected, Demon Emperor Baiye was standing behind her.
"You're finally back."
Baiye walked up and gently caressed Xuan Yuanshi's hair. "You're really willful."
Willful?
Xuan Yuanshi smiled faintly. She never felt that she had the right to be willful. In this world, if there was someone who loved you, doted on you, and tolerated you, then you could do whatever you wanted without any restraints.
But when you had nothing, how could you be willful? Who were you showing your willfulness to?
"I sensed young master's aura so I came back."
Xuan Yuanshi looked at Baiye seriously. "Brother Baiye, what about you? Did you find a way to save sister-in-law Hongyu? "
"No, but …"
Baiye couldn't help but laugh. "Little plum blossom has grown up and is living a happy life. Mn, you saw that little snake too right? "
Baiye's gaze also landed on the mirror in Xuan Yuanshi's room. Su Wan was still meditating in the mirror.
"She actually has the mistress's belongings. I don't know if she's related to young master so I let little plum blossom be with her. But she seems nice."
Saying this, Baiye smiled and looked meaningfully at Xuan Yuanshi.
Hearing Baiye's words, Xuan Yuanshi's gaze dimmed. "Actually, you want to say that the bracelet is a token of love from young master so she'll be young master's wife from now on, right? Brother Baiye, what do you think I'm going to do to her? Do you think I'm going to kill her? "
Xuan Yuanshi knew what Baiye was worried about. Just like how he always knew what she was thinking.
She worshipped the Flame Immortal ever since she was young. That worship was mixed with love and respect. After the Flame Immortal and Jinghong Fairy got together, she was unhappy for a period of time. At that time, the straightforward Jinghong Fairy placed her hand on her stomach and said, "Xiao Shi, you're so smart and cute. When I have a son in the future, you can follow him! I'll betroth you to him. Are you willing? "
In the cultivation world, the age difference wasn't a problem. Plus, Xuan Yuanshi was only a sixteen-year-old girl back then.
At that time, Xu Qin didn't know if she was pregnant with a boy or a girl. Maybe she just wanted to comfort the disappointed girl but she didn't expect Xuan Yuanshi to take it seriously.
She was that pure and stubborn.
She remembered Jinghong Fairy's words and thought that she had to live for the young master.
Young master, maybe you don't know me.
