The evening wind blew gently, ruffling the black hair on Zhan Ning 'er's forehead and disturbing her heart.
She stared at Ye Xiaotian for a long time, then suddenly lowered her head and stammered, "It's time for me to go back to Shuixi. Since you want to travel around the world, where can't you go? If you come to Shuixi. I … I know that I don't sing very well. I must … must practice a song, and when you come to Shuixi, I will sing it for you. Only for … you … "
The young girl's thoughts had already been expressed so clearly, yet she was still so subtle. Zhan Ning 'er was not a tactful person, but in this situation, she couldn't help but show it. The girl's shyness contained infinite affection.
And Ye Xiaotian was really a fool in the field of love. Although he was usually glib and seemed to be very experienced, he had no experience in the field of love between a man and a woman. Zhan Ning 'er had revealed her thoughts so clearly, but in his mind, he imagined a more lethal song.
"Oh my god! I shouldn't have let her sing at all. It's better not to go to Shuixi if I can. The urgent thing is to find a wife and have a son as soon as possible. Time is running out … "
Zhan Ning 'er saw that Ye Xiaotian was in a daze and didn't speak, and thought that he understood her intentions. Thus, she lowered her head even more, and became even more bashful. If she knew what Ye Xiaotian was thinking at the moment, she was afraid that she would not kick him down from the temple, or grab his ear and yell, "You are a fool looking for a donkey!"
Ye Xiaotian was hesitating and didn't know how to answer. Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi suddenly came over, followed by Gedwa. Hua Yunfei looked as usual, but Mao Wenzhi rushed over as soon as he saw Ye Xiaotian, crying, "Big brother, there are insects, there are insects …"
Ye Xiaotian's expression changed at the sound of the bug. He leaped up and looked around in fear. "Where, where?" Speaking of this, Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered that he had drunk the "mosquito repellent incense" and was not afraid of insects. He felt a little relieved and quickly said righteously, "You go first, I will cover you!"
Mao Wenzhi cried and pointed to his stomach, "Big brother, how can I go? The insects are in my stomach, if I go, they will go too. "
Ye Xiaotian was surprised, "Are you talking about roundworms?"
Mao Wenzhi's words were incoherent, and Gedevila wanted him to speak for himself, but the more he heard, the more ridiculous they became. He coughed and stepped forward, saying, "Venerable One, you don't have to worry. I've only given them a type of parasite. As long as they return to the Temple of Light every year to collect a pill, the parasite will be suppressed.
"Why did you give them poison?" Ye Xiaotian was shocked.
Gedwar said, "The Venerable One is insistent on not letting the Temple of Light send warriors to protect you, but if that's the case, how are we going to know the Venerable One's whereabouts? If Venerable is in danger, who will save him? We need a few loyal and reliable people to serve us so that we can be at ease. In desperation, we could only resort to this method. "
Gedwa paused and smiled, "Although there is always someone stronger than you, and the poison is not impossible to cure, the poison was personally given by me and I used the most troublesome method. There is no one in the world who can cure it. Hehe, with them by Venerable's side, we can rest assured."
"Rest assured? I think you are bullsh * tting! " Ye Xiaotian was furious. He grabbed Gedwa's collar and threatened, "You detoxify them immediately, or I will kill you!"
He believed what Gedwa said. Of course, the Gu God Sect did not want their Venerable to die. Even if the Venerable was a little unreliable, it was better to keep him there than to let him die.
The Gu God Sect had more than 1,500 years of inheritance. Few of the Venerable traveled the world after ascending to the throne, because most of them were chosen from the elders, and most of the elders had traveled the world when they were disciples. However, they also had to consider the situation if the Venerable suddenly died outside.
Most of the people who were good at using the poison were also good at medical skills. The so-called acclimatization and the death caused by diseases could basically be ignored, but it was inevitable in the chaos of war. If the Venerable suddenly died, they must have a set of countermeasures. For example, the Venerable was tempted by the Mortal World and was no longer devout to the Gu God, so he was punished.
But no matter what, since he was the heir chosen by the Gu God, this explanation showed that the Gu God's sense was not clear, and it would have a certain impact on their prestige. Therefore, no one wanted that to happen. Therefore, the Gu God Sect took great pains to ensure the safety of Ye Xiaotian.
However, there was another purpose for Gedwa to poison Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi: they were worried that Ye Xiaotian did not want to be the Venerable, and he would simply run away after leaving the Gu God Sect, or even hide his identity. Then, no matter how powerful they were, they would not be able to find him.
During this period of contact, especially when Ye Xiaotian did not hesitate to take risks for Yaoyao, who had nothing to do with him, this group of cunning elders could see that Ye Xiaotian was a person who valued friendship, so they wanted to use Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi as his fetters. As long as these two people were tied up, they were not afraid that Ye Xiaotian would run away.
Ye Xiaotian really thought about running away, but he did not expect that Gedwa would tie him up in this way. Of course, he was ashamed into anger.
Gedwa was grabbed by the collar by Ye Xiaotian, but he was not annoyed. He replied with a smile, "I believe you! If the Venerable wants to kill me, you don't have to do it. You just need to give me an order, and I will immediately jump down from the top of this temple. I am old, and it doesn't matter if I die a few years earlier or later. As long as the Venerable can be loyal to the God Sect, I will have no regrets even if I die. "
Ye Xiaotian was immediately discouraged. This old hooligan was playing a rogue with him, and he really could not do anything. Did he really want to force this old guy to die?
Gedwa smiled and tidied up his clothes. He bowed to Ye Xiaotian and said, "If the Venerable has no other orders, then I will take my leave. The Venerable does not allow warriors to follow him, and I dare not disobey him. But as the Venerable, if you don't know a little about the art of voodoo, it will not look good. There is still a need for someone to accompany the Venerable to travel around the world and teach the Venerable the art of voodoo. I will help you arrange a suitable candidate. I will take my leave! "
Gedwa smiled and turned to leave. Mao Wenzhi said with tears in his eyes, "Big Brother, there is a worm in my stomach … What should I do?"
Ye Xiaotian said snappily, "Just treat it as a roundworm. It won't kill you."
Mao Wenzhi said, "Oh! I am just afraid that it doesn't look like a roundworm. In fact, roundworms are already very disgusting. If it doesn't look like a roundworm, big brother, I am not afraid of anything but worms. "
Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes at him and said to Hua Yunfei apologetically, "I didn't expect Gedwa to do this. I am really sorry."
Hua Yunfei smiled and said, "Big Brother Ye, you don't have to be so polite with me. Ever since you helped me avenge my parents, I have made up my mind to follow you for the rest of my life. Now that I have a good reason, you can't even chase me away. "
Ye Xiaotian placed his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it, feeling touched. Mao Wenzhi touched his stomach and said sadly, "I also want to follow you, big brother. I can eat and drink, and I don't have to go to jail. I just don't want to have worms in my stomach … "
Zhan Ning 'er looked at the three clowns and was about to persuade them when Bao Weng suddenly ran over with a few people. When he saw Ye Xiaotian, Bao Weng welcomed him with a face full of joy and said a few words excitedly. Ye Xiaotian was puzzled, "What did you say?"
One of Bao Weng's warriors stood up and was about to translate for him, but Zhan Ning 'er was already beaming with joy, "We've found Yao Yao's tracks!"
Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Where? Where? "
…
On the mountain road, Ye Xiaotian, Hua Yunfei, Mao Wenzhi and Zhan Ning 'er were hurrying along under the escort of dozens of Deity Templar warriors. As they walked, a Miao person explained to Ye Xiaotian, while Zhan Ning 'er accompanied Ye Xiaotian and translated for him.
Zhan Ning 'er said, "Forty miles from here, there is a Leaping Tiger Stream. There are many grotesque rocks and many caves. Usually, not many people go there. Today, a few hunters from the nearby tribes were chasing an injured wild boar into the Leaping Tiger Stream and accidentally discovered that there were people moving around in the caves.
They had previously received a request for help from Gedore and knew that they were going to capture two men with a little girl. When they found out that the people moving around in the caves were two men and were acting suspiciously, they immediately rushed over to investigate. Unexpectedly, the two men attacked first and injured one of the hunters. The hunters retaliated and shot one of the men to death. The other one fled into the forest in a panic and is now chasing … "
Ye Xiaotian interrupted her and asked anxiously, "How about Yaoyao, have you found her?"
Zhan Ning 'er asked a few more questions to that Miao person, turned around and said joyfully, "Found her! They said that they found a few piles of bonfire ashes in the cave and there were signs of habitation. So they sent people to capture the man who escaped and at the same time entered the cave to search and found a girl inside.
Just that their tribe leader had already rushed over to the Deity Templar and no one in the tribe could communicate with her. They only heard that the child had mentioned 'Yaoyao' more than once in her cries and guessed that she was the child that Gedore tribe had entrusted to find. Because it was inconvenient to bring her along, they sent this quick-footed person to report the news first. They wanted to send her over later but who knew that you are so impatient … "
A stone was lifted from Ye Xiaotian's heart and he asked joyfully, "Is Yaoyao alright?"
Zhan Ning 'er smiled and said, "I have asked, that child is fine and did not seem to have been mistreated in any way."
On a cliff in the Leaping Tiger Stream, standing there, one could see the rapidly flowing river and the grotesque rocks in the valley. The man with a goatee who had abducted Yaoyao was standing on the cliff with his Yi knife in hand, his face filled with despair. This place was called the Leaping Tiger Stream, perhaps a ferocious tiger could jump over but he could not.
Those mountain hunters were extremely ferocious, after one of them was injured, they immediately retaliated without mercy and brazenly shot his companion to death. Right now they were aggressively chasing after them.
Actually when he received the order, the man with a goatee had already given up all hope. Because Yang Yinglong's order was, "Return Yaoyao to them, don't let them become suspicious. Rest assured and go, I will take good care of your family. "
The man with a goatee was very clear about the temperament of their Chieftain Old Master. His heart was as hard as iron, cold-blooded and emotionless. Once he had decided on something, he would not change it. Although he loved Yaoyao very much, he had many children and Yaoyao was not his only flesh and blood. Wanting to use Yaoyao as a hostage was also impossible.
They were even more clear that if they disobeyed, their parents, wives, and children would be cruelly treated, so they could only willingly come to their deaths. This dead end was deliberately chosen by him. The man with a goatee looked down the cliff and tightened his grip on the knife in his hand. With a loud roar, he charged towards the hunters without any hesitation.
With a "whoosh", a sharp arrow shot over. The man with a goatee's knife flashed and split the sharp arrow in half. He leaped up and raised his sharp knife high above his head, chopping down on the hunters' heads.
But his knife did not harm anyone. His body was still in the air when three snow-white hunting tridents came flying up to meet him, fiercely stabbing into his two ribs and abdomen and then fiercely whipping out. When he fell heavily to the ground, there were nine holes in his body and fresh blood was flowing out.
The man with a goatee breathed his last, his eyes still wide open. He had died with everlasting regret!
