Jing Jiu thought about it and said, "Maybe they will succeed in the end, but they don't know that it will bring about some unexpected consequences. Didn't Big Brother succeed back then? But he didn't know that it would become like that. But … Shisui is stronger than both Big Brother and me, so he should be able to overcome that obstacle. "
The white cat wasn't interested in the disciple named Shisui, but he could tell that Jing Jiu cared about that disciple, so he was surprised. He glanced at Jing Jiu, wondering why Jing Jiu had changed so much since he had devoted himself to Cultivation and never cared about the lives of people and cats.
"I'm going out for a walk," said Jing Jiu.
The white cat was even more shocked, and the hair on his tail stood up, wondering why Jing Jiu was willing to go out of the mountain.
"Out of sight, out of mind."
Jing Jiu raised his forefinger and put it in front of the white cat's eyes.
The white cat moved forward naturally and rubbed his face against it.
After rubbing his face a few times comfortably, he came back to his senses and continued to lie on the windowsill, pretending to be dead.
He couldn't tell how powerful Jing Jiu was, so he wouldn't attack him. But he also wouldn't get close to Jing Jiu, because he might be implicated by Jing Jiu.
The White Ghost, the guardian of Aoyama, had the power comparable to the gods and demons and a terrifying Cultivation state, and had a very high status.
For many years, there were only two people in the nine peaks of Aoyama who could make him feel vigilant and even afraid.
He was afraid of Jing Jiu, but he was even more afraid of Jing Jiu's opponent.
Jing Jiu was ruthless, but that person was too sentimental.
Being heartless was not the same as being callous.
But being sentimental was not necessarily a good thing.
"Ada, do you want to go out with me?"
Asked Jing Jiu.
The white cat glanced at him with disdain.
Jing Jiu said, "You know, I don't know much about the ways of the world, and I've never cared about others."
The white cat glanced at him with resentment, thinking, You know that too?
Jing Jiu didn't say anything more.
The white cat understood what he meant, and gestured with his soft paw.
The sharp claws poked out from between his toes, more frightening than the brightest sword.
"Thank you."
Jing Jiu stroked its head.
The white cat bit him with great dissatisfaction. Of course, it didn't dare to use too much force.
…
…
When he returned to Shenmo Peak, the night was still dark.
Looking at the small wooden house in front of the cliff, Jing Jiu thought for a moment, then walked over and pushed the door open.
Gu Qing hadn't slept yet. He was studying the sword manual with the help of the oil lamp. When he saw that it was him, he was shocked.
He had been at Shenmo Peak for half a year, but he had never seen Jing Jiu leave the peak, let alone here.
"We'll leave later."
Jing Jiu asked, "Are you going to stay in the mountain or go outside?"
Gu Qing was even more surprised. Why did he suddenly want to leave? After a moment of silence, he asked, "How long will you be gone?"
This was a very important question.
Jing Jiu knew what he was most concerned about, so he said, "We'll come back before the Inherited Sword Competition."
Gu Qing thought for a moment and said, "I'll stay here and focus on my sword work. I can also take care of the house."
Jing Jiu didn't persuade him, but said, "If there's anything, tell the monkeys."
Gu Qing didn't quite understand what he meant, thinking that the monkeys on the peak were indeed smart, but if something really happened, how could they help? Or could the monkeys go to someone else?
He didn't ask Jing Jiu, but just remembered what he said.
…
…
In the early morning, Aoyama was having a meeting.
Whether it was a coincidence or something else, the rules of Aoyama had changed a lot since the ban on Shenmo Peak was lifted and Zhao Layue became the Peak Master.
In the past, the peak masters would gather at Tianguang Peak with their swords, and the peak masters would communicate through their swords. But now, the representatives of the peaks would meet in the grand hall of Xilai Peak to discuss the meeting.
Many people speculated that the peak masters felt it was a bit awkward to discuss the meeting with Zhao Layue, the former disciple of the third generation.
There was another piece of evidence for this conjecture, which was that Green Mountain had forgotten to inform Shenmo Peak of this meeting intentionally or unintentionally.
The main topic of the meeting was the problem encountered by the disciples of Liangwang Peak in Chaonan City.
The Elder Bai Rujing of Tianguang Peak didn't conceal his anger, demanding that the swordsmen of the second generation be sent to the Muddy River as soon as possible. If the big demon was still alive, he should be caught and brought back; if he was dead, his body should be brought back to find out what had happened in the deep part of the Muddy River that night.
Hearing the angry roar echoing in the grand hall, Mei Li and the others didn't say anything. They knew why Bai Rujing was so angry; it was because Liu Shisui hadn't woken up yet.
"The Young Brothers of Shiyue Peak have checked. Liu Shisui does have a lot of Fire Poison in his body, but … something is obviously different."
The Elder Shi Mingxuan of Yunxing Peak said sarcastically, "I suspect that he has eaten something. We will know when he wakes up."
The people in the grand hall knew what he suspected. In fact, this was the speculation of many people after the investigation of Shiyue Peak.
Bai Rujing had to protect his disciple, saying sternly, "Don't slander us before the truth is revealed!"
Shi Mingxuan said with a sneer, "The truth is not revealed? Then I would like to ask, if the truth is not revealed, why is Jian Ruyun locked up in the Dark Room?!"
It was well known that Jian Ruyun was the disciple of Shi Mingxuan before he went to Liangwang Peak.
"Jian Ruyun didn't protect Liangwang Peak well enough; of course he should be punished!"
"Slaying demons and devils is a dangerous business. Do you want him to be a nanny?"
"Shi Mingxuan, don't think that you can be so rude to our Tianguang Peak just because you are a supporter of someone else!"
"Well, well, well, well, well, you are indeed the first peak of Aoyama. You are indeed domineering. Do you think Yunxing Peak is your subordinate?"
For a moment, only the furious roar of Bai Rujing and the sarcastic voice of Shi Mingxuan could be heard in the grand hall of Xilai Peak.
The Master of Xilai Peak shook his head and was about to say something to calm them down; but he suddenly sensed something and frowned without saying anything.
Looking at the outside of the grand hall, Mei Li's expression changed slightly, wondering what had happened and why her Sword Heart was restless.
Soon, a piece of news spread from the South Pine Pavilion to the inner gate, and then to all the nine peaks.
Zhao Layue and Jing Jiu had left.
Left? Just like that?
Bai Rujing's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Zhao … she is the Master of Shenmo Peak. How can she leave at will?"
It was quiet in the grand hall of Xilai Peak. The second-generation masters of Aoyama looked at each other, speechless.
Because Zhao Layue was the Master of Shenmo Peak, she didn't need anyone's permission to leave.
According to the rules of Aoyama, she only needed to inform Xilai Peak and register her sword card, and then she could go wherever she wanted.
This was the privilege of the Master of the nine peaks.
Even if she didn't inform Xilai Peak, no one could do anything to her.
Of course, if the Master didn't agree, it would be a different story.
The problem was that the Master had been focusing on cultivation and hadn't cared about these things for many years.
The Master of Xilai Peak smiled helplessly, and said, "I will go to Tianguang Peak to report this to the Master later."
Mei Li looked at Lin Wuzhi, who came to report, and asked, "Did they say where they were going? When will they come back? "
Lin Wuzhi said with a bitter smile, "Nothing."
Mei Li wondered if they would be gone for a long time.
