Chapter 20: The Mysterious Man
Listening to Xiaocui and Da Zhuang, the boss behind the Bazi Hu is related to the big sects here, and there is great power in the village community of Kashan Village.
Tang Zhiruo wrote a letter to the family, explaining what happened that night, and asked Xiaocui and Da Zhuang to take Gua Niu'er to Tangjiabao to join the Tang family.
In the early morning of the next day, after Tang Zhiruo said goodbye to the pair of bitter mandarin ducks who had finally achieved positive results, she followed Mu Qi and the others and continued to march in the direction of Qingyun Sect.
Zhu Dadan didn't know what happened last night, once he slept to death, it was thunder, and he didn't notice that there was a little weirdness between Tang Zhiruo and Mu Qi.
Mu Qi naturally felt it, if Tang Zhiruo was deliberately alienating herself, from the morning to the present, it had been half a day, Tang Zhiruo had not said a word to him, and she also went to tell Zhu Dadan about something, such as urgency, going to the river to fetch water, etc.
For this suddenly extra little junior sister, Mu Qi actually has the attitude of being able to get along well, before Tang Zhiruo pestered him, making him feel upset, but now that he is alienated from him, he is also a little lost in his heart.
This made Mu Qi also surprised, Tang Zhiruo, an eccentric little girl, would actually affect his mood swings.
But in the face of Tang Zhiruo's change in attitude towards him, Mu Qi will definitely not open his mouth to break it.
To put it bluntly, in Mu Qi's heart, one more person who cares about one less person will not have much impact on his state of mind.
On the way, Mu Qi once again saw the face of this world, a group of monks who were not bound by secular rules.
In order to compete for a spirit pill or a treasure weapon, and fight hard, even to the point of death and death.
It is normal for a strong casual cultivator to kill a weak cultivator, no one will blame anything, and everyone has indifference and greed on their faces.
Of course, there are also eye-opening casual cultivators in the middle, and when they saw Tang Zhiruo's beauty, they planned to snatch it as a ding furnace.
However, it was all cleaned up by Zhu Dadan, Tang Zhiruo seemed to deliberately show something, in front of Mu Qi, she praised Zhu Dadan for her good life, but a pair of big eyes quietly looked at Mu Qi's reaction.
Of course, Mu Qi didn't react, just patted Zhu Dadan's arm, and said with a cold expression: "You go to the stream to fetch water." β
Zhu Dadan waved his hand and said, "Senior brother, after two more sticks of incense, we will arrive, and if you are thirsty, go back and drink it." β
"I'll tell you to fetch water. β
"Oh, okay. β
Tang Zhiruo knew that Mu Qi must have noticed her indifference to him along the way, and he forcibly took Zhu Dadan away, he must have wanted to tell her something.
Do you want to express your displeasure with her, or do you want to restore your close relationship with him?
Tang Zhiruo was a little nervous in her heart, standing aside with her head down, and a few white jade fingers were entangled indiscriminately.
"After following all the way, it's time for you to come out. Mu Qi said coldly.
"Hey?" Tang Zhiruo was not calm at first, and looked around.
With two slaps, a mysterious man wrapped in a black robe appeared in front of the two.
The mysterious man wore a mask, and his whole body, except for two pairs of withered old hands, saw not a trace of flesh and skin, and was tightly covered by black robes.
The mysterious man spoke up: "Aoji, I'm curious how you found me. β
There was an indescribable strangeness in his voice, like a miserable cat meow in the middle of the night, which gave people a suppressed sense of fear.
However, this method naturally had no effect on Mu Qi, but Mu Qi immediately used his naΓ―ve qi to contact the jade bracelet and turned on the invisible battle armor, just because this mysterious person made Mu Qi instinctively produce a very dangerous signal.
Mu Qi didn't answer the mysterious man's question, but asked, "What is the purpose of you following us?"
"This girl, I'm going to take it away. The mysterious man was also refreshed, or he didn't put Mu Qi in his eyes at all, and stretched out his dry finger and pointed at Tang Zhiruo.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a genius who has broken through the legend of his cultivation talent, and he looks beautiful and moving, no wonder he will cause so much trouble along the way, Mu Qi glanced at Tang Zhiruo very complicatedly.
"Okay, you take her away. After Mu Qi finished speaking, he turned around, but he didn't take a few steps, he turned around suddenly, and a sharp metal blade came out of his hand, stabbing straight at the mysterious man's mask.
But the next moment, the metal blade that killed the demon king was grabbed by the mysterious man with his hand, and with a click, it was crushed into pieces.
Mu Qi's eyes shrank, he tried to destroy the same mysterious metal blade in the form of the invisible armor, but the metal blade was very hard, piercing his invisible armor alive.
But in the mysterious man's place, the metal blade was turned into powder by him lightly!
The difference in strength between the two sides was too big, and Mu Qi knew that retreating was the best choice, which was an instinctive reaction to his experience in his previous life.
As if knowing Mu Qi's compromise psychology, the mysterious man laughed and played with taste: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, boy, follow your heart's choice, this will save your life." β
Mu Qi's eyes flickered, his fists clenched tightly, and he quickly weighed the gains and losses in his heart.
Although Tang Zhiruo did not cultivate, perhaps because she was talented, she could vaguely sense that Mu Qi was definitely not the opponent of the mysterious person in front of her.
"Mu Qi, you go, retreat is the best strategy, I don't blame your choice.
I'm so glad to have met you and even liked you.
I like you and want to get close to you, not only because you are handsome, but more importantly, Xiao Huang told me......
Your indifference is because you are afraid and defensive about everything around you, but in fact you are very lonely.
Believe it or not, I'm actually the same person as you, maybe that's why you're so attracted to me. β
Mu Qi's whole body trembled, and he looked at Tang Zhiruo in astonishment, traveling to a strange and unknown world, and everything around him was different from the past.
He thought that he was a soldier in his previous life, and his heart was already very cold, and he would not resist and panic the changes in the surrounding environment like ordinary people.
But he was wrong, no matter how cold and indifferent he was, he couldn't get rid of the fact that he was a human being, he was not a machine, and he would also have the panic and helplessness of ordinary people in his heart, even if this emotion was so small that it was negligible, but it was also a real fact.
Mu Qi's reaction was expected for Tang Zhiruo.
He had a shocked and bewildered expression, and in Tang Zhiruo's opinion, he actually felt a little cute.
"Poof. Tang Zhiruo couldn't help laughing out loud, and said mischievously: "You are shocked, how do I know?"
Let me tell you, Xiao Huang is a weasel, and the weasel race is born with psychic ability, even if it becomes a spirit body, the ability will not disappear.
Because I can have a connection with Xiao Huang's spirit, so I let Xiao Huang probe your heart, you shouldn't blame me, right?
Originally, I wanted to tell you these things when the time is ripe, but I don't think I will have a chance in the future, goodbye, cute little brother. β
Rather than a mysterious person coming to arrest her, it is better for her to walk over honestly herself, so that she may be able to suffer less.
But before Tang Zhiruo took two steps, she was pulled back by the force behind her.
Mu Qi hugged Tang Zhiruo and said coldly to the mysterious person: "Without my permission, you are not allowed to take her away." β
