Chapter 897: Young Talent
"Ahemβ"
An old man with crane hair slowly walked out of a cave, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and the group of beggars immediately laughed and dispersed. The old man was on a green rattan crutch, wearing a gray cloth robe that had been washed white, and he was not tall, but his posture was upright, and his body exuded an aura of not being angry and arrogant. He also had a tattoo on his face, and opened a pair of cloudy eyes to look at everyone.
"Elder Yue......" Luo Ying took two steps forward and said softly.
The old man stared at Luo Ying, and then said with a surprised expression, "Are you ...... Little princess Luo Ying?"
"It's me!" Luo Ying pounced on the old man, gently pulling up his wrinkled hand, with tears in his eyes, "Elder Yue, your face ...... It's all because Luo Ying is young and ignorant, if Luo Ying insisted on taking all the Fufeng people away, such a thing wouldn't have happened!"
Elder Yue patted Luo Ying on the shoulder and said slowly: "Little princess, don't blame yourself, when the group of thieves from the Demon Sect occupied this Fufeng City, I asked Elder Guan to leave with the young you, no matter what, I have to leave some blood for the ancient Fufeng clan." As for those of us, we have long put life and death aside and vowed to live and die with Fufeng City. Now, it's just a word on the face and being demoted to a pariah, it's not a big deal. β
Luo Ying's body trembled slightly, and she sobbed: "No, all this is Luo Ying's fault, Luo Ying should have arrived earlier! Elder Yue led his clan to starve here and live a slave-like life, but Luo Ying grew up happily in the Fufeng Ancient Forest......
"Silly girl, everyone has their own fate! This is the clansmen's own choice, what does it have to do with you?" Elder Yue stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Luo Ying's eyes, sighed softly, and continued: "Why don't you stay in the Fufeng Ancient Forest, what are you doing here?" If the people of the Demon Sect find out, it will be bad!"
"Elder Yue, I'm here this time to take Fufeng City back from the hands of the Demon Sect!" When she said this, the expression on Luo Ying's face looked extremely determined.
"Little Princess Luo Ying, do you know what you're talking about? The power of the Demon Sect is getting stronger and stronger, but it's not so easy to deal with!"
Luo Ying pointed to the others behind him and said, "Elder Yue, Luo Ying is not alone, these people are all my friends, and they will help me take the Lava Demon City." β
Only then did Elder Yue raise his head and look at Pregnant Qiao and the others, while Luo Ying stood aside to introduce Elder Yue one by one, and when it was Elder Yue's turn, Luo Ying deliberately sold a pass, "Elder Yue may recognize who this person is?"
After listening to Luo Ying's words, Elder Yue carefully looked at Wu Ying, and then, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Isn't this kid Ah Hua's younger brother suffering from the Heavenly Remnant Disease?" I remember that when you left Fufeng City, you were still young, and you have grown so big in a blink of an eye. β
Luo Ying waved her hand and chuckled: "Elder Yue is right, he is flawless, however, he is not a heavenly cripple body, but an extremely rare pure yin spirit body, it was the pregnant girl who opened up the blocked meridians in his body for him and cured his 'disease'." In a short period of time, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and his strength is even stronger than mine!"
"Good! Great! The Fufeng Clan lacks such a young talent. Don't stand here, the old cave is a little dilapidated, but it's okay for you to go in and have a cup of hot tea, come with me. Elder Yue made a gesture of invitation to a cave behind him, and then led the group into the cave.
The cave is not large, and there are two torches embedded in the surrounding stone walls, and the dim light of the fire illuminates the space inside the cave. A stone table and several stone chairs were placed against the direction of the stone wall, and a stone couch was placed in the corner, on which a straw mat was spread. It's simple, but it's neatly cleaned.
As soon as Elder Yue picked up the teapot on the stone table, he was snatched down by Luo Ying, "Elder Yue, they are all their own people, you don't have to see outside, it's better for Luo Ying to come by herself!"
Elder Yue looked at Luo Ying and said with relief: "It's okay, it seems that Princess Luo Ying has grown up and is no longer that naughty little girl." β
Luo Ying smiled but did not speak, and poured a few cups of hot tea and distributed them to everyone. After everyone was seated, Luo Ying said, "Elder Yue, can you tell Luo Ying what happened here after Elder Guan and I left?"
Elder Yue put the teacup back on the stone table, shook his head and sighed, "After you left, the rest of the Fufeng Clan were driven here, and the group of thieves from the Demon Sect struck a word on our faces, allowing the prime-aged men of the Fufeng Clan to forge armor and weapons for them day and night. The rest of the women, children, and old, toiled hard in the city's wines, restaurants, and gambling houses in exchange for some meager remuneration to make ends meet......"
Luo Ying listened, her face was bitter, and what Elder Yue said made her even more determined to recapture Fufeng City.
"Does Elder Yue know where the Demon Sect's arsenal is located?" asked suddenly, the armor and equipment of that group of Demon Clan soldiers were too sophisticated, and if they wanted to eradicate the Demon Sect, they had to find a way to destroy their armory.
Elder Yue pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly, "After those prime-aged men of the Fufeng Clan were captured, they never came back, and no one knows where they were captured. β
Pregnant Qiao's eyelids sank slightly, "If that's the case, it's a little difficult to do." β
While Elder Yue was talking to Pregnant Qiao and the others, a boy of seven or eight years old was standing and wandering outside the cave, looking inside with a pair of big eyes open. He wore a sackcloth vest and patched gray sandals, and a pair of torn cloth shoes on his feet.
Elder Yue beckoned to the little boy and said, "Rui'er, come here!"
The little boy named Rui'er called him, and he couldn't wait to rush in, and when he saw so many people looking at him, he lowered his head a little shyly and rubbed his palms back and forth.
Pregnant Qiao recognized the little boy as the first beggar who had begged them for fairy crystals before. She admired this little beggar very much, and his eyes seemed to be different from other children, revealing a clever energy from the inside out.
Elder Yue's face turned grim, and he said in a deep voice, "Rui'er, why are you eavesdropping on the elders outside?"
Rui'er's head shook like a rattle, and he hurriedly spoke: "Rui'er didn't eavesdrop...... Immediately, his eyes rolled back and forth, and said: "Rui'er accidentally heard it, the elders don't know where the uncles are, Rui'er knows!"
"Stinky boy, how do you know? This is no joke!" Elder Yue said angrily.
Rui'er raised two fingers and swore an oath, "Elder, Rui'er really knows where those thieves are hiding their uncles!"
Elder Yue was about to scold, but was stopped by Luo Ying, "Elder, you might as well listen to what this kid has to say first!"
