"If guarding this place for a lifetime can prevent the demon monk from wreaking havoc, then so be it." Grandmaster Qi Jie sighed.
No matter how Miao Yi tried to persuade him, it was useless. The old monk's selflessness made him wonder if he should be impressed or scold him for being pedantic.
Blood Demon, on the other hand, suggested, "Why don't we just lure the Heavenly Court here? Even if the Heavenly Court can't get rid of the demon monk, they will definitely send people to guard this place. Perhaps they will guard it even better than us."
"No!" Miao Yi cut him off, "Even if the Heavenly Court can guard the demon monk, he will definitely seek revenge on us. The demon monk has seen us before. As long as he tells the Heavenly Court, you can imagine the consequences."
Blood Demon was silent for a moment, then nodded and asked, "But didn't you say that the Heavenly Court is conducting a large-scale search and will find this place sooner or later?"
Miao Yi replied, "The Heavenly Court can't possibly devote all of their manpower to the search. In my opinion, they will need at least ten thousand years to find this place. Perhaps it will be far more than ten thousand years. The longer they search, the wider the area they need to search, and the slower their progress will be. For now, since we can't get rid of the demon monk, we should stall for as long as we can. We'll see if we can think of another way to solve this problem in the future. "
Ba Jie said, "Big Brother, when Ba Hui and I came here, we saw a habitable planet not too far away from here. Can you send some people to guard this place and prevent anyone from entering this planet?" What he was implying was that he could replace Qi Jie with someone else.
"The fewer people who know about the demon monk Nan Bo, the better. Most people can't resist the demon monk's Sanskrit Chant. And if we seal off the outside of the planet, we won't be able to do it without manpower. No one knows where a lost person will appear from. Besides, it will be troublesome to bring people here to pass through the Heavenly Court's search. Even if I can send people here, I can only send my most trusted subordinates. I don't want everyone to stay here, and I don't want my trusted subordinates to waste their time here either. " Miao Yi glanced at Grandmaster Qi Jie. "Besides, we still have to ask Grandmaster if he is willing to leave. If he is, I can think of a way."
"Amitabha!" Grandmaster Qi Jie clapped his hands together and rejected the offer. "It doesn't matter who guards this place. I am the most suitable candidate."
"Old bald donkey, you …" Ba Jie rolled his eyes and flicked his sleeves. 'Forget it. I can't be bothered to say more. I know nothing I say will change this stubborn old man's mind.'
The outcome of the discussion was no different from no discussion at all. Grandmaster Qi Jie was still unwilling to leave.
After Miao Yi and Ba Jie left the gorge, one headed to the other side of the gorge, while the other headed to the lakeside.
After taking a few steps, Ba Jie suddenly turned around and shouted, "Big Brother!"
Miao Yi stopped in his tracks and turned around, asking, "Is something the matter?"
Ba Jie walked over. He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother, must you kill Yu Luocha?"
This question made Miao Yi a little angry. This matter was almost killing him. If he killed his nephew's mother, how would he face his nephew in the future? If this bastard hadn't caused such a mess, would he have such a headache?
Ba Jie glanced at his expression, then lowered his head and whispered, "Actually, I don't think Yu Luocha will do anything to harm Big Bro anymore. After all, she already gave birth to a child."
"Child?" Miao Yi laughed coldly and said, "You haven't come into contact with people like her in the outside world. At their level, there's nothing they can't sacrifice when it comes to their own interests. The most important thing now is that we know her secret and have already threatened her interests. Will she still let us go back alive? "
With a pained expression, Ba Jie asked with much difficulty, "When does Big Brother want to make a move?"
Miao Yi turned around and left. He was also at a loss and couldn't give an answer.
On the steps outside the stilt house by the lakeside, Yu Luocha, who had tied her long hair back in a simple ponytail, was carrying her child on her lap and playing with him. She caressed the child's cheeks with her fingertips and said, "Heart lake, smile for Mother."
However, the adorable little boy was frantically twisting his head and sucking on Yu Luocha's fingertips with his mouth. Yu Luocha was immediately amused and giggled uncontrollably as she giggled like a silver bell.
Standing nearby, Ba Jie was in a daze as he watched this scene unfold!
When Yu Luocha accidentally turned around and saw Ba Jie, she was stunned for a moment. Then, a smile blossomed on her face as she stood up with the child in her arms. She walked over and said, "You're back. Why do you look so unhappy? Did Big Brother scold you again? Actually, I think there are some things Big Brother is doing for your own good. You don't have to take it to heart. "
Ba Jie smiled bitterly and said, "We were discussing how to leave."
The smile on Yu Luocha's face gradually froze. She knew that she would have to face what was to come. She tried her best to remain calm and asked, "How did the discussion go?"
Ba Jie sighed and said, "That old bald donkey is afraid that the demonic monk will cause trouble again, so he refuses to leave no matter what. He insists on staying here and suppressing us. No matter how hard we try to persuade him, it's useless. We can't just kidnap him and restrict his freedom forever, can we? As long as we give him his freedom, do you believe that he will immediately come running back here? That old bald donkey is truly hopeless. "
Yu Luocha was visibly moved. Then, she sighed and said, "Are you going to stay and accompany Master? If you are, then I won't leave either. "
Ba Jie immediately looked as though he had been bitten by a snake. He exclaimed, "Not leaving? Are you kidding me? I could have left a thousand years ago. I've already done my best to keep that old bald donkey trapped for another thousand years. Does he really need someone else to do the same for him? "
Yu Luocha rolled her eyes and said exasperatedly, "You're lucky to have a Master like this. If it were anyone else, they would have gotten rid of you a long time ago. You're still trying to be reasonable?"
Ba Jie's mind was in turmoil. He waved his hand and didn't want to say anything else. Then, he walked towards the stilt house.
Yu Luocha suddenly said, "Are you worried about Master, or are you worried about the matter between me and Big Brother?"
Ba Jie stopped in his tracks and turned around abruptly. He roared in an almost crazed manner, "What do you guys want? Are you going to force me to my death before you're satisfied? " After saying that, he scratched his head with both hands, roared, jumped around, and kicked the pebbles on the ground into the air. He was venting his frustrations.
Yu Luocha covered the child's ears and looked at him with a smile. She was really smiling, and it was a smile that came from the bottom of her heart.
When Ba Jie noticed this, he pointed at her and roared, "How can you still smile?"
Yu Luocha giggled, "Why can't I smile? The fact that you're in such a difficult position shows that you have me in your heart."
"You …" Ba Jie rushed over and pointed at her nose. Finally, he poked her forehead and said, "Unreasonable!" Then, he turned around and left.
Yu Luocha said calmly, "There's no need to be so worried. There's nothing going on between me and Big Brother. He won't kill me."
"Uh …" Ba Jie stopped in his tracks once more. This time, he quietened down and slowly turned around to look at her. Then, he leaned over and tried asking, "What makes you so sure? Let me tell you, Big Brother has always had a ruthless side to him. He was someone who dared to stab himself in the back when he was young. Once he sets his mind on something, I'm afraid no one can stop him. "
"He hasn't made up his mind yet, has he?" Yu Luocha smiled faintly. She glanced at the child in her arms, whose eyes were darting back and forth. "It looks like you don't understand your Big Brother as well as I do. Don't worry. I've already made up my mind on this matter. I naturally have a way to resolve it. However, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a little. That depends on whether you're willing to cooperate or not. "
Ba Jie nodded repeatedly. "As long as you can resolve this matter, I will definitely cooperate."
Yu Luocha's lips curled into a teasing smile. "Then it's a deal. You're not allowed to go back on your word when the time comes."
"..." Ba Jie sensed that something was amiss. He cautiously said, "You're not going to ask me to stay again, are you? Let me tell you, whether I stay or not has nothing to do with whether Big Brother kills you or not."
Yu Luocha replied, "You're overthinking things. It won't affect your departure. I won't hit you or scold you. I just want you to cooperate with me after you leave."
Ba Jie asked curiously, "What kind of plan do you have in mind?"
"Go and tell Big Brother that I will give him a satisfactory answer before I leave!" Yu Luocha threw down these words and left with the child in her arms. She didn't want to tell Ba Jie anything.
Ba Jie was a little worried that Miao Yi would launch a sneak attack, so he hurriedly ran back and passed on the message to Miao Yi.
On the cliff above the valley, Miao Yi stood under the eaves and gazed at the distant lake. Ba Jie stared back at him.
After a long moment of silence, Miao Yi slowly said, "I will wait. I hope she will do as she says!"
However, he waited until the very last day. He waited until the day the formation went out of control, but Yu Luocha still didn't give him an explanation. Those who had been here for a long time were all experienced. They knew that noon was the time when the formation would temporarily go out of control.
As he stood guard in the cold night wind, he confirmed that Yu Luocha hadn't escaped. When the first rays of dawn broke, Miao Yi walked out from behind the hillside. He welcomed the morning light and walked towards the lakeside at a moderate pace. When he arrived outside the wooden hut, he unsheathed his longsword and stood outside the wooden hut.
"Big Brother! Wait a moment! I'll be right back. " Ba Jie suddenly opened the door and ran out. He called out to Miao Yi, then sprinted towards the valley.
Yu Luocha also came out with the child in her arms. She slowly walked up to Miao Yi and smiled. "Big Brother is here."
Miao Yi asked, "Where's the answer you spoke of?"
Yu Luocha glanced at the sword artifact in his hand and smiled. "If I can't give you a satisfactory answer, what do you plan to do?"
Miao Yi replied, "You have ulterior motives. You even gave birth to a child to protect yourself. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I won't let you leave alive."
Yu Luocha continued to smile. "Is it wrong of me to want to live? If you kill me, how will you face Ba Jie and this child in the future? "
Miao Yi replied, "It's useless to threaten me with this. I've already done my best. For the sake of the child and Ba Jie, I won't take advantage of you. Let's have a fair duel. Either you die, or I die. If you die, I will take good care of this child. "
Yu Luocha nodded. "Big Brother is indeed thoughtful. I want to ask, if I were to marry Ba Jie, would you agree?"
Miao Yi replied, "I won't, not unless I die! I don't need to mention your reputation. Neither Ba Jie nor the child will be able to bear that burden in the future. Especially the child. Don't harm them! "
Yu Luocha smiled bitterly. "So that's how it is. Why can men have countless women, but women can't?"
