What a strong smell of alcohol!
Pei Ci furrowed her brows. The person's identity was unknown. In this time of crisis for the Big Dipper Sect, she obviously didn't dare to let her guard down. She hurriedly tried to hide herself. However, the moment she tried, she realized that she couldn't move her body.
This smell of alcohol!
Pei Ci was also an expert. She immediately realized that this smell of alcohol wasn't simple. The moment she smelled it, she was already bound by the Soul of Qi that was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Although Pei Ci was injured, she wasn't at the point where she was at the mercy of others. However, after she hurriedly used the power of her soul, she found that she couldn't break free from the Soul of Qi's bindings.
The Soul of Qi was the most flexible among the six spirits. In terms of destructive power, it naturally wasn't as destructive as the Soul of Force. However, the Soul of Qi that was binding Pei Ci was extremely invasive. Pei Ci was fine before she tried to break free. Now that she struggled, she immediately realized that the Soul of Qi could not only withstand it, but it also increased its strength.
If she continued to be locked in a stalemate, Pei Ci might still be able to break free. However, there was no chance for her to do so. The broken wall in front of her turned. The two people who had spoken earlier appeared one after the other. The one in front looked slightly older. She wore a long robe that dragged across her chest. Her long hair was casually tied up on her head. She exuded a strong smell of alcohol and was extremely slovenly. However, her eyes were unusually bright. After she walked out from behind the broken wall, she stared at Pei Ci's body like a knife.
Following behind her was a little girl who looked like a young girl. She was dressed plainly but tidily. She carried a sword on her back. Her expression seemed to be cautious but also a little fearful.
Seeing how the two of them were sizing her up, Pei Ci knew that they weren't from the Big Dipper Sect. Otherwise, even if they didn't recognize her, they would at least recognize her clothes from the Alkaid Peak.
"Who are you?" Pei Ci, who was restrained by the enemy, didn't lose her composure and asked coldly. When she was looking for Ruan Qingzhu earlier, her expression revealed some anxiety and anticipation. However, at this moment, she had already returned to her usual cold expression. As she asked, she secretly gathered the power of her soul again, preparing to break free from the Soul of Qi's bindings.
"Don't move, be careful not to hurt yourself." The woman who reeked of alcohol saw through her thoughts and warned her.
Pei Ci would not be frightened by such a threat. Just as she was about to break free, the woman crooked her finger. Her struggle was in vain, and the Soul of Qi binding her had been removed by the other party.
"From Alkaid Peak?" The other party stared at Pei Ci's clothes and began to converse. She did not seem to be good at explaining, so she removed the restraints to show that she was not hostile.
Pei Ci paused for a moment, then nodded.
The woman immediately looked gratified. "So I didn't make too many mistakes. This is still the Alkaid Peak after all! It's just that I might have gone a little off course. "As she said this, she looked behind her, apparently explaining something to the young girl.
But Pei Ci immediately exposed her. "No, this is Dubhe Peak."
"Dubhe Peak?" The woman was stunned and looked up at the steep mountain peak beside her. Alkaid Peak and Dubhe Peak were the head and tail of the Big Dipper Mountain Range. Looking for Alkaid Peak and Dubhe Peak, there was no way to go any further. The woman finally could not continue to agree with her sense of direction, so she openly admitted her mistake. "I really did go the wrong way. I was wondering why I couldn't find the mountain gate."
"You two are?" Pei Ci wanted to confirm the two's identities. If they really were not hostile, she wanted to find Ruan Qingzhu as soon as possible.
"My name is Chu Min." The woman reeking of alcohol was very straightforward, and did not beat around the bush. After introducing herself, she immediately said her purpose. "We came to Big Dipper to find someone. Lu Ping. He should be here, right? "
"Lu Ping?" Pei Ci was stunned. It was not strange to find someone, but the person they were looking for was that mysterious and strange youth, Lu Ping. This made Pei Ci, who had always been cold, somewhat curious. However, apart from her teacher, she could not care about anything else. She could only continue to confirm.
"Who are you to Lu Ping?"
"An old friend."
"Friend or foe?"
"Friend."
Pei Ci asked quickly, but Chu Min answered even faster. She was frank and did not evade the question at all. Although she did not provide any valid proof for her claims, Pei Ci was already very willing to believe their identities.
"Lu Ping is in the North Style Academy, but I do not know where he is right now. If you are looking for him, please be careful." Pei Ci said.
"Be careful?" The little girl behind Chu Min had not spoken all this time. When she heard Pei Ci's words, she was puzzled.
"The Seven Elements Disaster Relief Formation was destroyed. It seems that Big Dipper is in big trouble." Chu Min smiled.
"Yes." Pei Ci nodded, and couldn't help but take another look at Chu Min. This somewhat sloppy and reeking of alcohol did not seem to be as crude as her image suggested. She was also meticulous and sharp.
"Sneaking here alone at this time, little girl, are you trying to run away? That's not good. "Chu Min said with a frown.
Pei Ci did not answer. She only swept a cold glance at Chu Min. This glance was just like Chu Min's frank answer. Although there was no effective explanation, the other party immediately saw through her intentions.
"Alright, I'm sorry," Chu Min quickly apologized. "Since ancient times, Yao Guang has guarded the mountain gate. How could a disciple of Yao Guang Peak escape? It was my fault. "
"Yes." Pei Ci nodded, expressing her agreement. She had never spoken much. She did not feel that there was anything more to say to these two. After she finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to continue looking for Ruan Qingzhu.
"Wait, miss. I have another question." Chu Min suddenly called out to her.
Pei Ci stopped and waited for Chu Min to speak.
"I heard that the current Yao Guang Research Fellow is Ruan Qingzhu?" Chu Min asked.
Pei Ci, who had stopped in her tracks, hurriedly turned around. Her gaze on Xiang Min became much more serious.
"You know my teacher?" Pei Ci said.
"Oh? What a coincidence. "Chu Min was also surprised." I did know her many years ago. "
Not only was she an old friend of Lu Ping, but she was also her teacher's old friend. Pei Ci bowed and bowed to Chu Min. Then, she answered Chu Min's previous question. "Teacher has been a Yao Guang Research Fellow since she was forty. However, before this year's Seven Star Trial, she was stripped of her research fellow status."
"Why is that?" Chu Min asked.
"Because she gave the very important Hall of Seven Sins' Divine Weapon Inheritance to a newbie, Lu Ping," Pei Ci answered. Her words were impartial. She was merely stating the facts and did not carry any emotion.
Chu Min's eyes widened. Although she had been quiet for many years, the rules of the North Style Academy were not new to her. She had long heard of the rules of the Hall of Seven Sins' Divine Weapon Inheritance. Naturally, she knew how bold Ruan Qingzhu's actions were. However, this was not what she was surprised about. Based on her understanding of Ruan Qingzhu, Chu Min was not surprised at all. She was surprised because Ruan Qingzhu was also doing this for Lu Ping. Why did this Lu Ping always stir up trouble wherever he went?
At Zhenfeng College, the college was razed and the dean was killed.
At Amaterasu College, Chu Min, the chief academician, left in a huff and was still wanted by the Black Army Empire. The dean of the Amaterasu Academy, who had only interacted briefly with Lu Ping, resigned from his position.
Even now, the North Style Academy could not stop his influence. The great Yao Guang Research Fellow, the pinnacle of the cultivation world, had her academician status erased because of him.
Each and every one of them was really embarrassing!
Although this was what Chu Min thought, she could not help but smile. Of course, she was more and more curious about how Lu Ping had affected Ruan Qingzhu. She immediately asked, "Then why did she give her qualification to Lu Ping?"
"Forgive me for being rude. I have to find my teacher as soon as possible, so I can't talk to you anymore. "Pei Ci did not want to continue the conversation.
"Oh? You want to find her? Where did she go? "Chu Min asked again.
Pei Ci saw that it would be difficult to leave if she did not explain herself. She quickly told her about how Ruan Qingzhu was thrown off the cliff.
"You couldn't find her after searching three times? That's because she didn't fall, right? "Chu Min said.
"She didn't fall?" Pei Ci was stunned. She quickly looked up, but the valley was shrouded in clouds. She could not see anything at all. Chu Min, who was also looking up, waved her hand. A gust of wind immediately swept up into the sky, forcibly blowing away the thick clouds. Pei Ci's eyes were sharp. She saw a branch of a pine tree growing horizontally on the mountain wall. Ruan Qingzhu was indeed hanging there.
"Teacher." Pei Ci cried out involuntarily. She heard another gust of wind. It was much fiercer than the one before. When it hit the pine tree on the mountain wall, there was a crack. The branch, which was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, was instantly cut off. Ruan Qingzhu hanging on the branch immediately fell.
Chu Min handled it so boldly that it gave Pei Ci a fright. She saw where it fell and hurriedly went to catch it. Chu Min turned to the young girl and said, "Ziyan, catch it."
"Yes!" The young girl was Qin Sang's sword maid, Ling Ziyan. She was brought back to Zhenfeng College after Guo Youdao faked her death. After the incident at the college, she had been following Chu Min.
Now, she still carried her sword, but not for anyone else. Although the sword was ordinary, it was a sword that truly belonged to her.
After responding to Chu Min, Ling Ziyan rushed forward. Pei Ci didn't sense her using any special ability. All she saw was that she was using a very strange and unsightly posture to step onto the mountain wall.
The posture was unattractive, but it was very effective.
The steep mountain wall made it seem like she was walking on flat ground. After a few steps, she met the falling Ruan Qingzhu. She stretched out her hands and gently grabbed her. She turned and walked from the cliff back to the ground as if she was walking on flat ground.
"Teacher!" Compared to this strange movement, Pei Ci was more concerned about Ruan Qingzhu. She hurriedly rushed up to check on her injuries.
"Since the other party let her hang on the tree so that she wouldn't fall to her death, the blow shouldn't be fatal, right?" Chu Min said.
Was it Clan Leader Cheng …
Pei Ci was a little confused.
