Chapter 70: Heart-to-Heart Talk
Ling Huayin returned to the human world under Du Ye's escort, but she didn't know where she was, she only knew that she should be some distance away from Zhonghuang Mountain, and now she had no mana at all, so Du Ye found a place to settle her down, and waited with her for Su Mu and them to find her.
Ling Huayin tried to say a few words to the brooch that Ero had given her, and if Elo could hear it, it was believed that they would soon find their location. Unexpectedly, on the second day, Su Mu found them.
Ling Huayin saw that Su Mu was safe and sound, and the boulder in her heart finally fell. After not seeing him for a few days, Su Mu seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and Ling Huayin couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought of his fate.
Su Mu thought that Ling Huayin must have been taken away by Situ Yan and handed over to Lin Ge, but now that Ling Huayin was unharmed, he couldn't help but feel puzzled while rejoicing, so he asked Ling Huayin: "Master, Situ Yan didn't treat you well, right?"
Ling Huayin's expression darkened, and said: "Situ Yan is dead, you go to Penglai with your teacher, Situ Yan told me everything about you...... I'll definitely find a way to turn you into a human again. ”
"Situ Yan is dead?" Su Mu was simply slapped on the head, although he really wanted Situ Yan to die when he was in the dungeon, but when he heard the news, he still had mixed feelings for a while.
Ling Huayin put away her sad emotions and said to Su Mu: "Without further ado, let's get out of here quickly, so as not to regenerate right and wrong." ”
"Master, don't we have to go back to Xianze Palace again?" Su Mu couldn't help but ask when he saw Ling Huayin's expression of urgency.
"Your affairs are more important, and the affairs of Xianze Palace will be handled by the teacher. Although Ling Huayin said so, she knew that Xianze Palace would not let Su Mu go so easily. And she only has three months, and she can't let Su Mu go back to Xianze Palace.
Su Mu thought for a moment, and said with a serious face: "Master, you don't have to care if I'm a human or a demon anymore, and I don't want to go back." Master, let's run away together, go to a place where no one knows us, even if the master has no mana, I will protect the master!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Do you think you can get rid of it if you escape? Your life and soul are Jiuxiao, he will take it back one day, what will you do when the time comes! I just lost a friend, do you want me to lose you again?" Ling Huayin suddenly became emotional, she was like an ordinary person who had lost her protection at the moment, and she could no longer be proud and calm.
Su Mu held Ling Huayin's hand, wanting to calm her emotions, but found that her hands were very cold, and she trembled slightly, and she didn't know if she was panicked or hit by Situ Yan's death.
Su Mu held her hand tightly, and his tone was firm: "The master will not lose me, and the apprentice will never leave you, I promise you." ”
This sentence is undoubtedly Ling Huayin's biggest reassurance at the moment.
"Xiao Mu, you are my biggest thought in the world, I don't want anything to happen to you. You just listen to my advice and follow me to Penglai. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to the master, I'll go wherever the master goes. Su Mu smiled and nodded heavily, his smile was like the sunshine after the rain, dispelling the haze in Ling Huayin's heart at once.
Ling Huayin and Su Mu soon embarked on the journey to Penglai. Because Ling Huayin had no mana for the time being, and in order to prevent the people of Xianze Palace from finding them, they had to give up flying and take the land route instead, which made their itinerary very urgent.
In the past half a month, they have not encountered any obstacles, but Ling Huayin knows that Du Ye silently helped them get rid of a lot of troubles along the way. If it weren't for Ying secretly instructing Du Ye to protect them, Ling Huayin and Su Mu's traces would have been discovered by Xianze Palace long ago.
The Chamber of Illusory City.
A body that looked like a new life was lying on the stone table, and after Situ Yan died, his body was sealed here by the shadow, as if he was just asleep. However, there is a slight difference that this Situ Yan is dressed in black, and he wears a ring on the thumb of his left hand, and on the ring is a jewel in the shape of a crescent moon.
Shadow stood beside the stone table, and there was a sense of appreciation in the dark pupils.
"City Lord, did you put the Heavenly Demon Lord's ring on him?" Du Ye, who had returned from the human realm, appeared behind Ying at this moment.
"Since you want to be reborn, you naturally have to take your brother's share together. The corners of Shadow's lips hooked, and he turned to Du Ye and said, "What's going on over there in the human world?"
"I've taken care of everything along the way, and there won't be demons or anything like that to approach them. It's just that something happened to Xianze Palace. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Since Su Mu escaped, Ye Sha has gone to Xianze Palace to disturb trouble, and he has already killed many disciples. Du Ye replied.
A chill flashed in Shadow's eyes, and he said: "He can toss so much, let him toss, dare to disobey me, it seems that there must be that woman instigating it behind his back." ”
Du Ye raised his head and asked, "Is the city lord talking about Lord Lin Ge?"
Ying smiled suddenly, and didn't know what his attitude was, and said, "Is there anyone else besides her who dares to do anything against me? ”
Du Ye said boldly: "As far as I know, Lord Lin Ge, she still cares about the city lord very much, and the city lord is also very tolerant of her, and she acts recklessly. I don't know why she wants Situ Yan to replace you now. ”
“...... She has too much resentment towards humanity, and I refuse to avenge her, she wants to save me from her cage and hold a grudge against me. Ying closed his eyes, and Du Ye couldn't see his emotions at the moment.
"But Lord Lin Ge has found the wrong person, and since Situ Yan refuses to follow your instructions, he will definitely not listen to her. ”
Ying opened his eyes, and there was a cold feeling inside, which made Du Ye shudder.
She knew that Situ Yan was dead, and she would definitely go to Su Mu, and she must not be allowed to get close to Su Mu. ”
Du Ye stopped talking.
Ying glanced at him and said, "When did you become a mother-in-law, just say anything." ”
"The subordinates are bold, since the city lord is worried that Lord Lin Ge will attack Su Mu, why did he still agree to Ling Huayin to take him to Penglai? ”
Ying was silent for a while before she said, "Situ Yan's death has made her have a problem with me, and if I take her apprentice's life again now, she will hate me for the rest of my life." I just want to satisfy her as much as I can. In the end, Ying was quite helpless.
“............”
"Find a chance, you go and meet the mirror demon, and ask if it recognizes me as the master. ”
"The subordinates obeyed. ”
By the night of the lunar eclipse, everything had gone to sleep.
Su Mu lay on the grass, looking at the moonlight that was gradually being swallowed, and became more and more unsettled. Although he was not as afraid of the lunar eclipse as Situ Yan, at this moment, the demonic power in his body was about to move, and he opened his hand and found that Lin Ge's mark was becoming more and more obvious. Strangely, for many days, the woman never reappeared. Su Mu was both happy and uneasy.
If Lin Ge chased after him now, he didn't know if he could stop Lin Ge.
Su Mu felt more and more useless, and kept saying that he wanted to protect Ling Huayin, but he didn't know if he had this ability.
"I want to be strong. Su Mu looked at his hand, then tightened, and said secretly.
After a while, Su Mu couldn't help but close his eyes and think, Jiuxiao is the Demon Emperor, he must be very powerful, if I become him, maybe I can let the master completely escape from the shackles of Xianze Palace.
Thinking like this, Su Mu felt that the demonic qi in his body was about to break through the obstacles, and he immediately suppressed it with the method that Ling Huayin had taught him.
Not yet. If you give in to the devil now, then so many days of hard work will be in vain. Ling Huayin's heart was disappointed.
Su Mu said to himself, absolutely not.
After lying down for a while, there was the sound of small footsteps on the lawn.
"Brother Mu. ”
Su Mu opened his eyes and saw Yin Tao come to sit next to him.
"Yin Tao, why are you here, can't you sleep?" Su Mu sat up.
Yin Tao was worried about Brother Mu. ”
Su Mu rubbed Yin Tao's head and said with a smile: "What do I have to worry about, you should accompany the master, I'm fine, but I just came out to breathe." ”
Yin Tao shook her head, "Sister Yin is accompanied by Sister Eluo, and Yin Tao can't help much there." Is Brother Mu thinking about things here alone?"
"Well, I'm thinking about how to be strong. ”
Yin Tao smiled sweetly: "Brother Mu is already very strong in Yin Tao's eyes." ”
Yin Tao seems to be so carefree all the time, as if she never knows what troubles are, Su Mu sometimes envies Yin Tao.
Su Mu shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not enough, I want to be strong enough to be able to protect each and every one of you." ”
"Is Brother Mu for Sister Yin? That's why I want to become stronger. Although Yin Tao looks young, she actually knows far more than Su Mu thought.
“...... Over the years, it was the master who was protecting me, I got into so much trouble, and the master didn't dislike me, this time, I want to protect her, and you. But I know that with my current ability, I can't protect everyone. ”
Yin Tao grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Brother Mu, I ......" Yin Tao showed an expression of wanting to speak for the first time, as if the girl also had her own thoughts.
"Yin Tao, if one day I become a demon like Jiuxiao, will you still recognize me as Brother Mu?" Su Mu suddenly said.
"Is Jiuxiao the big devil? I don't know what he's like. But no matter what Brother Mu becomes, Yin Tao will not dislike Brother Mu, except for Sister Yin, Brother Mu is my favorite person in the world, and Yin Tao will not hate you no matter what. Yin Tao's small face was flushed, as if it had taken a lot of effort to say this.
Su Mu smiled and said, "I'm very happy when you say that." I think it's good to be a man, and the master doesn't want me to become a demon, so there must be a reason for her. If it weren't for the last resort, I wouldn't be a demon. ”
"Well, Yin Tao believes in Brother Mu. ”
