Yesterday was not peaceful. Fortunately, nothing else happened in the second half of the night. When Meng Xiuming opened his eyes again, the sun had already risen slightly.
Meng Xiuming put on his clothes and got up. He walked downstairs. Xiao Yu, Dongfang Mingyue, Xiao Jiu, and the Jiang sisters were already waiting in the hall.
Seeing Meng Xiuming come downstairs, Xiao Yu himself had two big dark circles under his eyes as he asked with a smile,"Looking at Young Master Meng's expression, he didn't sleep well last night.”
Meng Xiuming ignored Xiao Yu and walked straight to the table. Dongfang Mingyue said,"Good morning, Young Master Meng."
"Good morning, Miss Dongfang." Meng Xiuming replied expressionlessly. Dongfang Mingyue looked at Meng Xiuming's face and did not say anything else.
"We've troubled Young Master Meng yesterday, so we've apologized to him." Jiang Fu said.”
"Miss Jiang is too polite. However, this lets me know that someone has already set their eyes on me. It seems that my trip to Cang Prefecture this time will be fraught with danger.”Meng Xiuming said.
"Young Master Meng is going to Azure Continent?" Dongfang Mingyue asked," Is Brother Xiao going to Cang Prefecture too?”
"Miss Dongfang is going to ask your Brother Xiao about this.”Meng Xiuming said.
Xiao Yu was secretly delighted. Was she eating wrongly?
Only a ghost would be jealous of you.
The two of them were so telepathic.
"Brother Xiao, are you going to Cangzhou? Take me with you. I've never gone far before. I heard that Cangzhou's scenery is very beautiful. I've always wanted to go and see it, but I didn't have the chance.”Dongfang Mingyue said pitifully.
"As you can see, it's very dangerous for us to go to Cangzhou. If we bring you along and something happens to you, how can I explain it to Master Dongfang?”Xiao Yu declined.
"With you by my side to protect me, what danger will there be? Moreover, I've already asked my servant girl, Xiao Ci, to leave a letter for me.”Dongfang Mingyue pestered Xiao Yu. When Xiao Yu walked to the east, Dongfang Mingyue followed him to the east. Xiao Yu cast a pleading look at Meng Xiuming, but Meng Xiuming was still leisurely drinking his tea. Xiao Yu looked at him and thought that he couldn't be so heartless. The expressions on Xiao Yu's and Dongfang Mingyue's faces were so rich that they couldn't be more interesting.
"This, this, you should ask Little Meng.”Xiao Yu had no choice but to throw this question to Meng Xiuming. Dongfang Mingyue blinked her big bright eyes and stared pitifully at Meng Xiuming. Meng Xiuming couldn't even relax, so he said,"Since that's the case, then Young Lady Dongfang will follow Young Master Xiao on his journey.”
"Sure," Dongfang Mingyue seemed to have received a pardon as she happily clung onto Xiao Yu's arm and said,"Brother Xiao, Young Master Meng has agreed.”
"Alright, I'll listen to Little Meng." Xiao Yu said helplessly.
"Since Young Master Meng is going to Azure Continent, take care. Farewell.”
"Thank you. Goodbye."
The Jiang sisters left the Immortal Taste Restaurant, and Meng Xiu Ming and Xiao Yu also set off for Cangzhou.
Inside the carriage, Meng Xiuming sat at the side with his sword in his arms. Dongfang Mingyue moved closer to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu moved closer to Meng Xiuming. Dongfang Mingyue was unwilling to give up and moved closer to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu had no choice but to move closer to Meng Xiuming.
"Stop fooling around." Meng Xiu Ming shouted. Dongfang Mingyue toot, and Xiao Yu shrugged helplessly.
"Young Master Meng, can you not be so cold? We're all friends." Dongfang Mingyue whispered.
"Miss Dongfang, when did you hear that Seven Stars Shadow Killer needed friends?”Meng Xiu Ming said. Although Dongfang Mingyue didn't see the look in her eyes, she felt that her gaze must be very cold. She added," You and Young Master Xiao are friends. I have no objections."”
"Little Meng, are you jealous?”Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows. His evil smile really deserved a beating.
Meng Xiuming clenched his fists, ready to attack. Dongfang Mingyue saw that the situation was not good, so she immediately stood up and sat between Xiao Yu and Meng Xiuming. She smiled and said,"Young Master Meng, don't be angry."
Meng Xiu Ming swung his sleeves and put down his fist. Xiao Yu was already difficult enough, and now there was the eccentric Dongfang Mingyue. It was really troublesome.
"Wow, what is this thing? It's so hard.”Dongfang Mingyue complained and took out something from beside her." I'm so annoyed.”
For such a pampered young lady, it was the most common thing for her to make a fuss over a little physical pain. Meng Xiuming could only endure it. When Dongfang Mingyue took out the item and looked at it, he said in surprise,"So it's a green Ruyi. Sigh, Brother Xiao, isn't this the one my father gave you?”
Xiao Yu hurriedly said,"Slow down. It's a thank you gift from your father. It's very precious and priceless. Don't break it."”
Just as Xiao Yu was about to snatch it back from Dongfang Mingyue's hands, he found that Meng Xiuming's eyes were fixed on the green Ruyi scepter without moving. That green Ruyi scepter, yes.
On the westernmost floor, the red door was tightly locked by an iron lock. There were no trees or traces of people coming here. This was a forbidden area of the Tang Sect.
A little girl walked towards the tightly shut door and looked inside curiously.
It was March, and the flowers were blooming. Under the golden sunset, a little girl stopped her from entering. She was gentle and beautiful, like a little flower fairy, making people's eyes light up.
"Shh." The little girl gestured for her not to make a sound, a bright red dot between her eyebrows.
"I've always wanted to know what's behind the door.”the little girl said.
"Little Seven, this is our family's forbidden area. Father said that no one can enter. Let's go." The girl with red eyebrows pulled her, but the girl did not listen." No one knows anyway. I'm just taking a look.”
The door was opened, and in the middle of the room was a green Ruyi scepter. It disappeared in a flash. A black shadow had taken the Ruyi scepter away so quickly, leaving only a tray in the middle of the room, lying there alone.
The alarm of the Tang Sect rang. The Green Ruyi, the treasure of guarding the house, had been stolen.
"Who was it? Who opened that door?”The man was furious. His eyes were red like an angry leopard as he stared at the two children who were trembling on the ground.
She cried. The little girl beside her held her hand and said,"It's me, Dad. I'm sorry. It's all Xuesu's fault.”
"I'm sorry. You know that the door can't be opened, so why did you open it?”The man roared.
The little girl bit her lip and said,"Xuesu is just curious."”
"Daddy, don't scold sister. It's all Little Seven's fault.”The little girl cried and crawled to the man's feet, begging her father to let her sister go. This was all her fault, but she did not even have the courage to admit it.
"Little Seven, don't cry. Let sister bear the responsibility for the mistakes she made.”the little girl shouted.
The man violently lifted the other girl up, grabbed her arm, and threw her out of the door. The door closed, and the man's curses, whipping, and the little girl's cries could be heard. It was obviously very painful, but the girl still gritted her teeth. Occasionally, the sound of the girl falling to the ground could be heard.
Another little girl knelt outside the door and kept kowtowing. One, two, her head was bleeding. Although it was March, her body was cold. She said in a hoarse voice mixed with crying,"Daddy, I beg you to stop hitting me. I beg you.”
The scolding continued. A woman carrying a small child knelt outside the door and shouted,"Master, I beg you, stop hitting her. Xuesu is still a child.”
Thump, thump, thump. It was still the sound of kowtowing, mechanical and numb.
At this moment, the fresh flowers in March instantly withered and turned dark.
"Little Seven, stop kowtowing." The woman hugged the child tightly in her arms.
The door opened again, and the little girl was thrown out by the man. She was covered in injuries. The man shouted to the sky,"The Green Ruyi has been stolen and the Tang Sect will never have a day of peace.”
Across the wall, there was laughter and laughter outside the wall. Inside the wall, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. She saw the sadness in her mother's eyes, the despair in her mother's eyes, her sister's injury, and her father's anger. It was all because of her. It was all because of her stubbornness. She stubbornly wanted to find out the secret behind the door.
After an unknown period of time, the woman with the gentle smile was gone, the girl with the red eyebrows was gone, and the man who roared at the sky was gone. She was left alone kneeling on the desolate snow mountain, accompanied by only the raging wind and snow.
It was so cold, so cold. With no one to stand up for her, she could no longer be stubborn and could no longer enjoy the feeling of being protected.
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and everything lost its luster.
"Little Meng." Xiao Yu saw the despair in Meng Xiuming's eyes and shouted worriedly,"What's wrong with you?"”
"Where did this green Ruyi come from?" Meng Xiuming gritted his teeth and asked.
"This is a gift from Assistant Minister Dongfang to thank me for curing Young Master Dongfang.”Xiao Yu asked. Meng Xiu Ming's face was ashen and very unsightly.
Meng Xiu Ming's hands were trembling. In her memory, there was a little girl who was beaten half to death by her father because of a green Ruyi scepter. It was because of this green Ruyi scepter that was exactly the same as the one in front of her. It was because of her that another girl suffered unfair treatment.
"I heard that my grandmother brought this back from Miao Jiang. When my father was born, he gave it to my father. Now, my father gave it to Brother Xiao.”Dongfang Mingyue said.
Did Dongfang Mu bring it back from the Miao territory?
So this wasn't the Green Ruyi.
Meng Xiuming felt that the atmosphere in the car had become very stifling because of the appearance of the green Ruyi. She was about to suffocate. If she didn't leave now, she would suffocate.
"Little Meng, where are you going?”Xiao Yu asked when he saw Meng Xiuming get up and walk out.
"I'm going out for a walk." Meng Xiuming didn't ask Little Nine to stop the car. Instead, he flew out of the car window.
"Wait for me." Xiao Yu flew out with her. It could be seen that her condition was very bad.
"Brother Xiao, where are you going?”Dongfang Mingyue shouted.
"Miss Dongfang, they will be back soon. Stop shouting." Xiao Jiu shouted.
Dongfang Mingyue, who was in the car, remembered to jump up and down. Suddenly, the car trembled, and Xiao Jiu felt a cold chill coming from behind. Not good, Miss Dongfang.
Xiao Jiu hurriedly chased after him, but all it saw was a black-robed man holding Dongfang Mingyue hostage. The man was wearing a bamboo hat, and it was impossible to see what he looked like. Only his hands were as white as jade. It was obvious that it was a woman.
A shining knife was placed on Dongfang Mingyue's fair neck. Dongfang Mingyue was so frightened that her face turned pale. The man in black said to Xiao Jiu,"Don't come over. If you want her to live, have Meng Xiuming come to Limitless Cliff to look for me at noon tomorrow. Otherwise, you can just wait to collect her corpse.”
"Don't hurt her."
Xiao Jiu gritted its teeth. The man in black got up and flew through the forest, leaving behind Dongfang Mingyue's cries in the sky.
