Chapter Twenty-Four: Nighttime Shock
The wind was whistling, and the branches and leaves of the big trees outside the window kept swaying, leaving a swaying black shadow on the floor of the room where Xiang Yantian was. Please remember the URL of this site: . Lying on the bed, listening to the night breeze howling outside the window, she really felt a little upset. Getting up from the bed, she walked to the window and looked up at the dark night sky, feeling inexplicably irritable.
During the day today, the first battle of the Hundred Gates Conference ended with a great victory for the Cloud Sect. After a lapse of fifty years, the Hundred Sects Conference returned to the Cloud Sect again, and in this first battle, it defeated the same name as the Floating Feather Pavilion, and for a while, the reputation of the Cloud Sect was victorious, and it seemed that the glory of the past was about to be restored again.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiang Yantian withdrew his gaze looking up at the night sky. With a sigh, she closed the window, trying to block out the annoying sound of the wind.
Back on the bed, looking up at the window curtains above, she was still sleepy. She forced her eyes to fall asleep, because she knew she had to get enough sleep. However, to her helplessness, she couldn't sleep anyway. Ever since she came to this Cloud Sect, she had felt a faint sense of uneasiness and irritability, and in her memory, this feeling seemed unprecedented.
Tossing and turning, no matter what, it can't eliminate the trace of irritability and uneasiness in the depths of my heart. So, she got out of bed again and walked to the door, intending to go out for a walk, just like last night.
Pushing the door out, a cold wind immediately hit her face, making her unprepared body full of excitement. I'm still not used to the climate on the top of the mountain! She sighed to herself.
Xu Bu walked in the courtyard, scanning the surrounding scenery, and all that fell into his eyes was darkness. Facing this darkness, she frowned slightly. Because she found that the trace of irritability in her heart had not diminished in the slightest. Looking up at the night sky, a contemplative look appeared on her pretty face. Is it because there is no moonshine? Still is......
Since the courtyard can't eliminate the irritability in my heart, then I'll go outside! Gently lifting the corner of her skirt, she first looked back and forth a few times, and then carefully pushed open the courtyard door and tiptoed out. The reason why she was so careful was because she didn't want to disturb the rest of the others, after all, everyone was probably tired after the day's fighting.
Walking in the darkness with one foot deep and one foot shallow, even though there was constantly the night breeze blowing on her face, she was still drenched in sweat. Gently brushing the sweat from her forehead, closing her eyes slightly, and smelling the fresh air with a faint fragrance of grass sent by the night breeze, she really felt quite strange. The scenery on this Yunlai Mountain is obviously so beautiful, and the atmosphere seems to be quite peaceful, but why is my heart restless?
Shaking her head vigorously, she opened her eyes again, looked at the little light coming from afar, and made a bold move for the first time in her life: explore the birthplace at night! You must know that as a pampered princess since she was a child, she has absolutely no experience of walking alone at night, especially in this cloudy and unfamiliar mountain.
Walking on some rough paths, his eyes look straight at the little light in the distance, and he really looks like a traveler looking for light in the dark.
When she got closer, she realized that the sparkling lights were actually the lights of a compound lamp. Whose place is this, and you don't even rest at such a late hour? So, with a hint of curiosity, she quietly sneaked into the courtyard. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw quite ornate buildings, even if they were far from being comparable to the imperial palace, but they were undoubtedly much more luxurious than the courtyard they were in.
Who's living here? With a curious gaze, she kept looking around. However, when she passed by the bedside of a brightly lit room, she suddenly heard a voice that surprised her. Because she found that the voice clearly belonged to Sun Haoran, the sect leader of the Cloud Sect!
"Brother Shangguan, let's just say it, when we attack Gongsun Nan and them, you must come to help the old man!" The voice that suspected Sun Haoran seemed to be deliberately suppressed. But despite this, he was still heard clearly by Xiang Yantian who was in the dark.
"Don't worry, I'll help, but don't forget your promise!" Another man's voice rang out from within the room, and on closer listening it seemed to contain a hint of a smile.
This voice Xiang Yantian also felt very familiar, it was clearly Shangguan Yunlong, the sect master of the Jiuyang Sect!
Although he only heard these two extremely short sentences, it was enough for Xiang Yantian to be shocked. That Yun Sect Sect Master actually wanted to attack Yan Qing and them!
I'm going to go back and sue them! At that time, she only had this one thought in her heart, so that there was a flaw under her feet. In a panic, she accidentally guessed a small stone, and one stumbled and made a noise.
"Who?!" Sun Haoran's voice with a hint of anger came from the room.
What to do? To be discovered? Hearing Sun Haoran's voice, she immediately became nervous, and for a while she was at a loss and stood in place.
However, just as she panicked, a hand reached out from behind her back, covered her mouth, and pulled her into a corner.
