Shao Yue was currently reading a letter in the Hall of Unrequited Love. These were all tasks that Moyan had given her, saying that she had to finish reading them today. Shao Yue sighed as she looked at the pitch-black night sky outside. It seemed like she would have to pull an all-nighter tonight. She wondered how Little Gu was doing. Had her senior brother met her? She really didn't want to! At this moment, Shao Yue suddenly felt the lightning within her body faintly tremble. She secretly cried out that things were not good. She put down the letter in her hand and hurriedly stood up." Little Gu is in danger!”After saying that, he turned into a white light and flashed away.
In Hualien Village, the demonic beast had been struck by the power of lightning and was temporarily paralyzed. Bai Zihua took this opportunity to raise his sword and slash at the beast's body. However, the beast's hide was extremely hard, and Bai Zihua's sword had no effect on it. Seeing that the demonic beast was about to wake up, Bai Zihua lightly stepped forward and arrived at the back of the demonic beast. Then, he stabbed the sword into the back of the demonic beast. The demonic beast roared and started to spin around. Bai Zihua quickly pulled Hua Qiangu into the house. Hua Qiangu looked at the broken wooden sword in his hand and said sadly,""Sister Yue personally made this for me, but now it has become like this.”
Bai Zihua did not know how to comfort her and could only say,""Let's go."
"Oh right, I want to get some medicine for my father!”After Hua Qiangu finished speaking, he hurriedly took out the herbs that Hua Xiucai needed from the medicine cabinet. Back then, when he was by Shaoyue's side, he more or less knew which herbs to grab.
Bai Zihua heard the sound of the demonic beast getting closer and closer. He turned around and saw Hua Qiangu still grabbing medicine." Alright, let's go!"”With that, he grabbed Hua Qiangu and jumped out of the window, leaving the place.
When he arrived at the Hua residence, Hua Qiangu hurriedly ran into the house." Father, Father, how are you? I've already caught the medicine." Bai Zihua, who was outside the house, turned around to see if the demon beasts had followed him. However, he saw the barrier that had been set up throughout the entire Hua family. He asked curiously,"Mount Shu's enchantment?"
Hua Qiangu kept calling out to Hua Xiucai, but Hua Xiucai did not respond. Hua Qiangu could not help but cry,""Father…"
Although Bai Zihua did not understand why the wizardry barrier of Mount Shu was here, he knew that this was not the time to think about it. When he heard Hua Qiangu's cries, he turned around and walked in.
" Father, Father, wake up, Father…" Hua Qiangu pushed Hua Xiucai as he cried.
Bai Zihua walked straight to the bedside and took Hua Xiucai's pulse. He then pinched his philtrum and Hua Xiucai coughed twice before waking up.
"Father, you're awake." Hua Qiangu was pleasantly surprised.”He patted Hua Xiucai's chest to make him feel better, then turned to Bai Zihua and said,""Thank you!"
Hua Xiucai saw Bai Zihua and asked Hua Qiangu,""Child, child, this is?"
" He is…" Hua Qiangu said hesitantly." I was on my way back when I was chased by some bad guys. Fortunately, this young hero saved me."”She didn't want Hua Xiucai to worry, so she didn't mention the demon beast.
Bai Zihua introduced himself." I'm Mo Bing. I'm traveling in the martial world. I passed by this place."”
Hua Xiucai said gratefully," It's Young Master Mo, thank you…" He wanted to get up but felt uncomfortable. Hua Qiangu quickly held Hua Xiucai," Father…"
Bai Zihua also hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.""No need to get up." WWw.5Wx.ORG
Hua Xiucai lay back on the bed and started coughing. Bai Zihua said to Hua Qiangu,""Give me the medicine. I'll go boil it."
Hua Qiangu handed him the medicine and sat down by the bed. Hua Xiucai looked at her and said," Xiaogu, I'm dying. After I die, you have to take good care of yourself. Cough cough cough…"
" Father, don't say such things. You'll be fine, Father…" Hua Qiangu said sadly. Bai Zihua was quietly brewing medicine at the side.
At this moment, a group of villagers suddenly rushed in with torches." Villagers, today we will avenge Doctor Zhang and enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!”The villagers gathered in front of the Hua family's door and kept shouting,"Burn her to death, burn this witch to death!”Then, he threw the torch in his hand at the wooden house.
Hua Qiangu and the white chess piece were immediately surrounded by fire. Hua Qiangu waved his hand and said,""Stop, stop burning, stop burning, stop!”
However, the villagers did not listen to her and continued to throw torches at the Hua family's wooden house. The leader was the village chief. His son had been beaten by Hua Qiangu before, so he shouted even louder," Burn her, burn her!"”When he saw Hua Qiangu, he took a step forward." Hmph! Hua Qiangu, now that Physician Lian Yue is no longer around, let's see who else can protect you!”
Hua Qiangu was speechless. She stood there in a daze. Seeing that the villagers were about to throw their torches at her, she did not know how to dodge. Bai Zihua rushed forward to pull Hua Qiangu back. However, at this moment, a white light flashed and enveloped the Hua family's wooden house. The fire was instantly extinguished. When the villagers saw this, they cried out in shock,""Monster? A monster!"
"Oh? Monsters?" Shao Yue stopped in mid-air on her flying sword, looking at the villagers below. She was a little angry. She would never forgive the villagers for bullying Little Gu when she was not around.
When the villagers raised their heads, they saw Shao Yue, who was dressed in white, stop in midair, like a fairy descending to the mortal world. The village chief's son repeatedly defended himself,"Physician Yue, it was Hua Qiangu, she, she killed Physician Zhang!”
Shao Yue raised her hand and waved it, causing the village chief's son to immediately stand rooted to the ground, unable to move or speak. The village chief apologized profusely,"Physician Yue, no, Exalted Immortal, please let my son go. He's still young and immature.”
"I just cast a freezing spell on him. He will be fine in a few hours. Village chief, you should discipline your son well to avoid getting into trouble in the future.”Shao Yue said sincerely.
"Yes, yes. Thank you, Exalted Immortal. Thank you, Exalted Immortal!”The village chief nodded and bowed. After all, Shaoyue had saved many people in the village, so they did not dare to be negligent.
"Hurry up and leave this place!" Shao Yue said sternly.
"Yes, yes!" The village chief quickly left with the villagers.
Hua Qiangu looked at Shao Yue's pure white figure, and her tears could not help but gather. She did not dare to call out to Shao Yue, afraid that it was her illusion. If she spoke, the illusion would be destroyed. Shao Yue landed on the ground and turned around to look at Hua Qiangu. Seeing that she was standing there in a daze, she said,"Little Gu!"
Hua Qiangu clearly heard Shao Yue's voice and tears flowed down his face. He ran over and hugged Shao Yue, crying as he said,"Sister Yue, Sister Yue, is it really you?”
Shaoyue hugged her back and comforted her,"It's me, Little Gu."”Then, he raised his head and looked at Bai Zihua, thinking that they had indeed met.
Bai Zihua was surprised by Shaoyue's attitude towards Hua Qiangu. He had never seen Xiaoyue so intimate with anyone in Changliu. Could it be that the person Xiaoyue met when she went down the mountain to train was Hua Qiangu?
Hua Qiangu remembered that Hua Xiucai was still lying on the bed. He raised his head and said,""Sister Yue, my father, my father…is dying…"
A large part of the Hua family's wooden house had already been burnt down. Shaoyue moved Hua Xiucai into the courtyard and took his pulse. As expected, he was a lamp that was on the verge of death. Hua Xiucai weakly opened his eyes and when he saw Shaoyue, he said in surprise,"Exalted Immortal, you're finally back. Little Gu misses you every day and said that if you don't come back, she'll go find you.”
" Uncle Hua, I…" Shaoyue wanted to explain, but she felt that her words were so weak.
"I understand. Exalted Immortal has his own responsibilities. I only hope that after I die, you can help me take good care of Little Gu.”Hua Xiucai handed Hua Qiangu's hand over to Shaoyue.
Shaoyue nodded solemnly." Uncle Hua, don't worry. Even if you don't say it, I'll still take good care of her.”
"If that's the case, I can rest assured." Hua Xiucai slowly closed his eyes. Shao Yue hurriedly raised her hand, wanting to use her mana to transfer a trace of immortal energy to him, just like how she had transferred immortal energy to Little Gu's mother.
"Xiaoyue!" Bai Zihua shouted to stop Shaoyue. Shaoyue turned to look at Bai Zihua and was about to transfer her celestial spiritual energy when Bai Zihua saw this. He stepped forward to stop her and pulled her to the side." Little Yue, do you know what you're doing?”
"Of course I know. I'm saving people!”Shaoyue was about to go over after she finished speaking.
"You can't use magic power during the training period. Don't you know the sect rules of staying for a long time?”
"I'm not here to train. I'm here to save someone, senior brother!”Shao Yue heard Hua Qiangu's cries and wanted to rush over, but Bai Zihua stood in front of Shao Yue. He had the same thought as Shao Yue, wanting to save Hua Xiucai, but his master's words were right beside his ear. He could not break the sect rules.
At this moment, Zi Xun walked out. Bai Zihua asked curiously,""Zixun?"
Zi Xun looked to the side." Don't misunderstand. I'm just passing by." Then, she looked at Bai Zihua and said," Zihua, I want to see how Bai Zihua, who has always been responsible for the lives of the world, will choose between the Sect Leader of Changliu and the lives of others.”
Bai Zihua hesitated for a moment. Shaoyue ignored them and immediately turned around. At this moment, Hua Qiangu's cries could be heard." Sister Yue, Sister Yue." Hua Qiangu had been observing Hua Xiucai's condition and did not notice what had happened on Shao Yue's side. When she saw Hua Xiucai's head tilt, she hurriedly said," Sister Yue, my father…"
Shao Yue hurriedly walked over and checked Hua Xiucai's breathing. Realizing that it was too late, she couldn't help but say," Little Gu, Uncle Hua…"
" Father, father…" Hua Qiangu hugged Hua Xiucai's corpse and cried out in pain.
The next day, Hua Qiangu buried Hua Xiucai. Shao Yue and Bai Zihua accompanied her at the side. After paying their respects, Hua Qiangu asked,""Sister Yue, will you still leave?”She had just lost her father and did not want Sister Yue to leave again.
" I…" Shao Yue could not give a definite answer. She held onto Hua Qiangu's shoulders." Little Gu, no matter how long I leave, I will come back."”
"Sister Yue, you will still leave, right?”Hua Qiangu said dejectedly. Shaoyue did not know what to say for a moment. What Little Gu needed the most right now was companionship, and she could not accompany Little Gu for long.
"You know Xiaoyue?" Bai Zihua could tell that Hua Qiangu and Shao Yue had known each other for a long time, and their relationship was not ordinary.
" Yes." Hua Qiangu nodded." Sister Yue has been by my side since I was young. She is the most important person to me. Does Brother Mo know Sister Yue?"”Hua Qiangu was confused when she heard Bai Zihua calling her Sister Yue intimately. She had never heard of Sister Yue having such a friend.
" Yes, Xiaoyue is…" Bai Zihua could not reveal that he was the Changliu Exalted Immortal, so he changed the topic."Why do those villagers hate you so much?”
" Because I was born with a strange fragrance and easily attracted demons. My blood can even cause flowers and plants to wither, so they all treat me as a monster." Hua Qiangu walked to Shao Yue's side and held her hand." But Sister Yue is different. She treats me very well and treats me like family. She even taught me swordsmanship. In the past, when Sister Yue was around, the villagers would not treat me so openly. Ever since Sister Yue left a year ago, the villagers have hated me even more.”Hua Qiangu said dejectedly.
"I didn't expect these villagers to treat Little Gu like this when I wasn't around.”Shao Yue said angrily, but Hua Qiangu revealed a trace of it. Seeing that Sister Yue was angry because of her, for some reason, he felt a little better. The attitude of the villagers no longer mattered.
"I see. Do you hate them?”Bai Zihua asked.
"Sister Yue told me not to care about other people's opinions and just be myself. As long as the people I care about understand me and acknowledge me, I'm very satisfied. As for my father…the villagers are just afraid.”Hua Qiangu lowered his head and said.
Shao Yue said gratefully," Little Gu, you've grown up. I don't want you to live with resentment, so you have to live happily."”
"As long as Sister Yue is by my side, I am very happy.”Hua Qiangu looked at Shao Yue and said hopefully, hoping that she wouldn't leave. Shao Yue couldn't bear to see Hua Qiangu's hopeful gaze, and just as she was about to agree, Bai Zihua's voice sounded.
"Then what do you plan to do next?”Bai Zihua said. Shaoyue glanced at him and could only swallow the promise she was about to make.
"I want to cultivate and stay by Sister Yue's side.”
"She's an Exalted Immortal. You can't always be with her.”
"That's why I want to cultivate so that I can always accompany Sister Yue.”Hua Qiangu said firmly.
Bai Zihua frowned slightly and looked at Shaoyue. Then, he took out a bag of silver and handed it to her." There's some silver here. Take it. Take care of yourself."”
Hua Qiangu stood up and looked at Bai Zihua's back." Thank you, Brother Mo!”
Bai Zihua's figure paused, and he turned around to look at Shao Yue."Xiaoyue!"
Shao Yue knew that Bai Zihua was asking her to stay, but she was really worried about Hua Qiangu and stood there awkwardly. Hua Qiangu could sense that Brother Mo was asking her Sister Yue to leave, so she hurriedly said,"" Sister Yue, Brother Mo, it will be my 16th birthday in three days. In the past, there was my father and…" She looked at Shaoyue and said with a lowered brow," But this year, there's no one to celebrate with me."”
Shao Yue looked at Bai Zihua, hoping that she would agree. Bai Zihua frowned slightly, but he did not urge Shao Yue nor did he have any intention of leaving. Shao Yue knew that her senior brother had agreed, so she smiled and said,"Little Gu, let's celebrate our birthday together this year, okay?”
"Really?" Hua Qiangu hugged Shao Yue happily before thanking Bai Zihua." Thank you, Brother Mo!”
