Mu Yunqing was finally unable to resist the side effects brought about by his low level of cultivation. After eating, his stomach felt warm, and he felt a rare sense of laziness.
She raised her delicate hands and pulled the car door curtain. The sunlight penetrated the mist and sprinkled on the winding mountain road, adding a bit of tranquility and peace to this morning.
Ji Yao had been carefully observing Mu Yunqing out of the corner of her eye. She caught a glimpse of her cold and aloof profile and it was hard to imagine that the person who was so hot and passionate last night was her.
I felt a little warm inside thinking about it, but I was afraid that my life would be in danger, so I suppressed it.
His eyes were always fixed on Mu Yunqing, and he seemed to have forgotten the important task of driving the carriage.
After a bump, the horse lightly jumped over a small bump. Mu Yunqing, who was feeling unwell, frowned slightly. When he raised his eyes, he saw Ji Yao's burning gaze.
She glared at Ji Yao with disgust and turned her head away, as if saying a single word to this traitor was disgusting.
Ji Yao noticed it, touched the tip of her nose, looked at the road and tried to find a topic to talk about awkwardly.
"Master, it's good to slow down occasionally. You have a high level of cultivation, and you usually rush at lightning speed. Won't you miss such beautiful scenery?"
Mu Yunqing twitched the corner of his mouth: He is just at the Qi Refining stage and he is feeling sentimental.
For those who practice Taoism, even if they fly as fast as lightning on a sword, they should be able to see through the details of everything. How could they miss such a small scene?
However, it seems like it has been a long time since I have been able to calm down and appreciate the scenery along the way.
But she didn't say anything, she just felt inexplicably tired of this meaningless thinking.
Seeing this, Ji Yao suddenly remembered the way that Mu Yunqing practiced, which was a ruthless way that transcended the constraints of emotions.
She couldn't help but ask, "Master, people often say 'people are not plants, so who can be heartless?' But I see the flowers withering and nourishing the soil to wait for the flowers to bloom next year. Isn't there also affection among plants and trees?"
This question seemed to touch a corner of Mu Yunqing's heart. She was stunned for a moment. Are plants and trees really so heartless?
He even murmured unconsciously: "I practice the ruthless way, so I should be ruthless..."
Ji Yao glanced and thought: I felt there was a bug when I read the book, and I finally have the opportunity to express my doubts.
"Master, if you have never experienced emotions, how can you understand the true meaning of ruthlessness? Can a person without emotions still be considered a complete person?"
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yunqing's face darkened and he said sternly: "How dare you!"
Obviously, Ji Yao's words touched her sore spot.
Mu Yunqing thought that the other party was trying to shake her heart and wanted her to break the ruthless way! She grabbed something at hand and threw it at Ji Yao angrily.
Ji Yao couldn't dodge in time and fell off the shaft of the cart in a mess, landing hard on the ground.
So moody!
Ji Yao didn't know where she said the wrong thing. Although she felt wronged, she still forced a smile and said, "Master, I was wrong. I was ignorant, shallow and short-sighted."
Mu Yunqing lowered the car curtain angrily, but his heart could not calm down. He kept thinking about the question that Ji Yao had raised unintentionally.
People often say that “humans are not plants or trees”, but are the plants and trees that silently dedicate themselves really completely without emotions?
Plants and trees have feelings, but what about people?
She has no father or mother, and has been by her master's side since she could remember.
The master said that she was an orphan, and if she wanted to have someone to rely on, she had to rely on herself. She had practiced the way of ruthlessness since she was a child, so she had to carefully endure even the love and care from her master.
Now, he is asked by his own evil disciple: If a person is heartless, is he still a human being?
If she is not a human, then what is she?
It seemed that she had found some opportunity that could loosen her stuck state of ruthlessness, but after a while, she couldn't figure it out and the opportunity slipped away.
It only added to my troubles and I couldn't help but get angry and embarrassed again.
"You evil disciple, you are destroying my moral integrity!"
A wooden ladle flew out and hit Ji Yao hard on the back of his head as she had climbed back onto the shaft of the cart. Ji Yao was thrown to the ground again, chewing the mud.
How could she have that?
Ji Yao wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Medicine King Valley is a secluded place, but is there really someone in such a famous and upright sect who is your friend?" Mu Yunqing asked belatedly.
In the morning, her legs were trembling and her back and waist were sore. She had been suppressing her discomfort. Now that she had calmed down, she realized that there were many flaws in this series of events.
Mu Yunqing's eyes were like ice, penetrating Ji Yao's disguise sharply, as if he could see into the secrets deep in her heart.
She sneered, her voice filled with unquestionable majesty: "You'd better know that although my cultivation has been damaged for some reason, it is still easy to kill you."
At this moment, the Hehuan Powder temporarily suppressed him. Although his cultivation was not at the peak level, he was now at the Golden Core level, which was more than enough to kill Ji Yao.
Ji Yao knew this, so she was more cautious. After all, Mu Yunqing was not her cauldron now and would not be constrained by her.
She quickly got out of the car and opened the curtain, her eyes full of sincerity and determination, with tears in them: "Master, every word I say is from the bottom of my heart, and it is not false."
"Ever since I was forced by the Hehuan Sect, my heart has been filled with fear and struggle, until I met you—"
"I am touched by the master's meticulous care for me. I am unable to extricate myself from the atmosphere of the master's sect. Under the influence of the righteous spirit of the master's sect, I really cannot do anything to hurt my fellow disciples again."
"So the people I made friends with before were actually all good people. It's just that I had to be a bad person in order to avoid being caught by the Hehuan Sect, so I kept it a secret. Therefore, the Hehuan Sect didn't know."
"So, Medicine King Valley must be safe!"
Mu Yun listened to the other party's rapid-fire explanation, but his eyes were clear and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
She closed her eyes and stopped looking at her.
Ji Yao knew that Mu Yunqing would not believe her, "Don't worry, Master, we will take the main road all the way and take you to Medicine King Valley safely."
Mu Yunqing snorted coldly, and Ji Yao hurried to drive the car.
The car continued to move, and Mu Yunqing was actually thinking about leaving traces for the sect so that people would find them?
But when she thought about how her master would definitely be angry if he knew that she had lost her Yin Essence while practicing the Way of Ruthlessness.
After thinking about it, she closed her eyes dejectedly.
Now, she had no choice but to trust Ji Yao.
If you can't detoxify the Hehuan Powder, you'll never be able to return to Lingxiao Sect in this lifetime!
Thinking of this, Mu Yunqing couldn't help but threaten Ji Yao again: "If you dare to play tricks, I will make you wish you were dead! Even if I'm poisoned, I can kill you without any problem!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
Ji Yao thought of her own ending in the book again, and couldn't help but shudder: "I will definitely not do anything small, please let me go, Master!"
He thought to himself: Anyway, you won't die. You can still dig out the inner elixir, practice magic, and become a crazy beauty.
But I really am shocked!
The carriage continued to bump along the mountain road, and a subtle atmosphere permeated between the two.
The wind blew up the curtains. Ji Yao secretly glanced at Mu Yunqing, thinking in her mind how to solve her own predicament while ensuring Mu Yunqing's safety.
It seems that when I arrive at Medicine King Valley, I must have a good chat with my original dog friend to see if he has any disguise sheets or fake death drugs or something like that. I want a dozen!
After having a few bites of pastries for lunch, we arrived at Lingyun City at the foot of the mountain.
Because of the Immortal Sect Competition, Lingyun City was bustling with people and almost all the accommodations were fully booked.
Ji Yao came out of the inn sweating again, and said embarrassedly through the curtain: "Master... Master, there really is no room left, only a suite, I will sleep on the floor... Oh no, I will sleep in the carriage, is that ok?"
Mu Yunqing clenched her fingertips and said, "It's okay, let's do it here."
She got out of the car wearing a veil, which hid her stunning face but could not hide her cool and elegant figure.
Everyone in the inn looked at him sideways.
At first they looked at each other with surprise and envy, and then they couldn't help but shake their heads.
"How dare such a graceful fairy come here at this time? I don't know which sect she is from. Even if they are besieging the Hehuan Sect, there should be no one hiding here."
"Yes, although it seems that the Golden Core cultivation is quite impressive, you don't know that the Fairy Qinglian from Tianyi Sect who just broke through the Golden Core and became the Nascent Soul Realm was deceived and eloped two months ago."
"Elope? What a joke!"
"It's a joke. He was just found two days ago, and his cultivation was completely destroyed. It turns out that he is a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, and he tricked Fairy Qinglian into becoming his cauldron."
"The Fairy Qinglian is the most beloved disciple of the Tianyi Sect's leader. We must defeat the Hehuan Sect this time!"
"But the He Huan Sect will definitely come out to sabotage. Maybe they will get desperate and take away a few monks to use as cauldrons."
"Yes, even Nascent Soul cultivators may not be able to withstand it... let alone Golden Core."
"I heard that the eldest sister of Lingxiao Sect has made faster progress in cultivation than the Sect Master at a young age. She is so talented and unmatched. Will she also be noticed by Hehuan Sect?"
"I'm almost a god, even if I'm targeted, I won't be fooled."
"But the He Huan Sect's witches are all very charming, and their lies are probably not something that ordinary people can resist..."
It's really true that if one person opens his mouth, ten people will run around.
Ji Yao followed Mu Yunqing into the house with cold sweat, slammed the door, turned around, knelt down, raised her hand and swore in one go.
"Master, I won't do that, otherwise I would have done it last night."
"I have been an orphan since I was a child. I was adopted and raised by the people of the Hehuan Sect, so I have never known what is right or wrong."
"But later, my master taught me to distinguish right from wrong, and I would never do such a beastly thing."
Hearing this, Mu Yunqing smiled coldly: "The witch of the Hehuan Sect is really good at sweet talk!"
Then he threw out a pill and said, "Since you are so loyal to me, take this heart-stimulating pill. If you are unfaithful to me, or do something that is not good for me, you will die of heart pain!"
She was just testing him originally. After all, who would really trust a witch from the Hehuan Sect?
Moreover, he took advantage of her serious injury to feed her the Hehuan Powder, intending to refine her into a demon woman in the furnace.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yao grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth without any hesitation, stretched her neck to taste it, and swallowed it directly with a gulp.
He even opened his mouth wide for Mu Yunqing to see: "Master, you should believe me now!"
"Get out!" Mu Yunqing turned his eyes away and ignored her stupid look.
"Okay, Master. I'll go get some hot water and prepare a few side dishes. You can have something to warm your stomach. Then wash up and go to bed early. We'll continue our journey tomorrow morning."
Ji Yao turned around and ran with a playful smile, breathing heavily after she went out and closed the door.
It was a close call. If I hadn't known that Mu Yunqing had a noble character before he became possessed by the devil, and never carried poison with him, but only liked to carry candies and pills, I would have been killed if I had hesitated for a moment.
That was a close call. Did I get away with it?
Just when I relaxed for a moment and was thinking of looking for the waiter, I was blocked by someone.
Looking up, she saw a beautiful woman with a red spot on her forehead, blocking her way.
"Ji Yao, you are so brave that you don't kneel down when you see me, young master?"
