Chapter XVIII: The Oath

Xena was about to break the jade-faced fox's tendon with the dagger. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind swept by. Xena hurriedly retreated. Despite this, his face was still swept away by the wind. An old man in a gray robe appeared in front of him. He pouted his gray beard and frowned. Some displeased said:

"Whose doll? It's so vicious! Since you have already hurt her so far, why bother to break her tendons again? God has the virtue of a good life, why don't you give me a face and spare her. ”

Zina is thinking about not sparing her, who knows how much trouble she will bring to herself if she is spared now! But she could feel the disparity in strength between the enemy and us.

In desperation, he arched his hand and said: "Senior, this is very true. I'm just afraid that this jade-faced fox won't agree. How about you bear witness to both of us? I'll let her go today, and she won't trouble me again. If you promise to do so, you will be punished with devastating thunder. ”

The old man pondered for a long time and nodded. Said to the jade-faced fox:

"Criminals! If you don't make an oath quickly, the old face of the teacher will be lost by you! ”

The jade-faced fox had tears in his eyes and struggled to kneel on the ground. He kowtowed to the old man three times, stretched out three fingers to point to the sky, and said:

"I, the jade-faced fox, swear here today that I will not use any reason or excuse in the future. Harassing and harming Zina, if you swear to this, you are willing to bear the thunder punishment of destroying the world. ”

Seeing the jade-faced fox swearing, Zina also stretched out three fingers, raised it to the sky and said:

"I, Xena, swear here today that in the future, as long as the jade-faced fox does not trouble me. I will not hurt it in the slightest. If you violate this oath, you are willing to bear the thunder punishment of destroying the world and destroying the earth. ”

After Zina finished speaking, the old man took out a pill from his arms, stuffed it into the mouth of the jade-faced fox, and then said:

"It's come to this, it doesn't matter how much you struggle, you will think about it on the cliff face of Lethe River from today onwards! Collect your mind, and your cultivation should be able to go further."

"Yes, the apprentice obeys the master's orders."

The old man waved his sleeves. In an instant, it was gone.

Although the matter is over, Qi Na is still thinking about her younger brother Qi Miao, after all, this jade-faced fox said that he would not hurt himself. But if she had evil thoughts to hurt Qi Miao, it wouldn't be regarded as a broken oath.

Xena took the horse out and galloped away. After about a quarter of an hour's walk, we reached the foot of the mountain.

The mountain roads are relatively rough, and it is impossible to gallop on horseback. Xena couldn't, so she had to tie her horse to a nearby tree.

Quicken your pace and head up the hill. After walking for a while, Xena heard footsteps ahead. Zina was worried about her younger brother Qi Miao, so she sped up under her feet, and after a while, she saw a group of people in front of her.

Among them were Jun Mingye and Jun Mingrui, and there were six or seven people accompanying them. Look at the clothes and dress up, it is also either rich or expensive. And Qi Miao did not appear in it.

Xena didn't want to entangle them too much. After saying hello and about to go forward, Jun Mingye chased after him from behind.

"Xena, why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it as good as us? ”

"The third prince is fine, that's the case, this time, my brother Qi Miao also came with me.

I was delayed because of something, I missed the two not long ago, and I have to hurry up to find my brother now, I will not accompany you, I will go first. ”

"Oh, in this way, the tryouts of the Fog Forest Academy are about to begin, and the process of climbing the mountain is full of dangers. I'm afraid that someone will do it behind the back. I'll go with you, and I'll take care of you on the way. ”

"That being the case, thank you to the three princes."

Zina was worried about Qi Miao's safety, and walked quickly. As he walked, he heard a muffled sound in the grass, so he walked cautiously along the place where the sound came from. After walking a few steps, a wide dark blue boot embroidered with auspicious clouds appeared in front of Zina's eyes. This boot Zina knows, this is the boot that Shu Yan embroidered for his son. The auspicious cloud pattern on the boots, the stitches are fine, and the fairy spirit is full, but the eldest lady does not have such skills.

Xena stepped forward and took another step. Only then did I see Qi Miao's face was bruised and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were still a little bloodshot. Zina's heart was full of anger, it was too much, fortunately she found out, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have to spend the night in this ice and snow. He was about to step forward, but he stopped his figure. He carefully looked around, and sure enough, about three fingers away from his feet, a very thin silk thread had been stretched straight. This material is obviously the silk of the sky.

Xena found that the silk was extremely resilient this day. Following the silk, Xena found the trap and the trap. Bypassing traps and traps, Xena cut the rope from Qi Miao's body.

And Qi Miao pulled Zina to look left and right, after making sure that Zina's body was fine. That's when I was relieved. I felt very embarrassed about my blue nose and swollen face that I was beaten

Seeing that she didn't ask more, she didn't expect Qi Miao to endure the pain on her body and say:

"Sister, it was Ning Qiushui, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion of Ning'an, who beat me.

I felt as if she had been hostile to me from the beginning. Even though she was kind to me at first, she would keep talking to me. But the content of the topic always revolves around me and my mother, and there is no stop questioning!

Despite her kindness, I didn't say anything. She got angry when she didn't get the information she wanted, and ordered the guards around her to beat me like this.

Zina looked at her brother who was beaten and had a blue nose and swollen face, still chattering. Talking about his own opinion on this matter. Seeing Qi Miao like this, Qi Na felt a burst of sadness. He took out the handkerchief from his arms and wiped the dirt on Qi Miao's face.

Zina and Jun Mingye helped Qi Miao out of the grass together.

Qi Miao endured the pain and said to Zina:

"Sister, my brother is wrong, just now my brother only cared about his mother's expectations, and he shouldn't have left his sister there alone to resist everything for his brother! I really shouldn't be, if my sister has three long and two short, how should I explain to my mother, my brother can't explain to my mother, so I have to die to apologize! My sister forgive me, my brother knows it's wrong. ”

"In that case, you should have escaped alone. If you don't escape, I don't know how to deal with it.

If you are not there, I can at least fight hard, and if you are here, my sister will take care of your safety. Although the process was thrilling, my sister was lucky to win.

If you were here, I would have made the same choice! Encounter the same thing in the future.

Unless my sister asks you for help. Otherwise, life or death is already predestined. Just follow your heart and make the right choice.

"It's all my fault, it's all my weakness. At a time when my sister was in danger. but I cannot help you. From now on, I will protect myself and my sister.
