Chapter 127: The heroine tries to die for love
Tick tock, tick tock—
The light rain came quietly, and the sky gradually darkened. The servants of Chilong Mansion just went to the corridor outside the house with lanterns and lit the lanterns hanging on the beams and the stone lanterns beside the road.
Xiao Yunluo was now sitting on the edge of the bed, gently stroking the sheath of her spiritual sword. Since Feng Yudie left, she had not stepped out of the house. According to what Feng Yudie said, she was wary of anyone who wanted to get close to her, even the servants of the Chilong Mansion who had come to deliver food to her before. Looking at the night light filtering into the house through the paper window, Xiao Yunluo couldn’t sit still at this moment:
“Why haven’t you come back yet… Is something going to happen to Ye Anping and the others? It’s been a whole day…”
After muttering something, Xiao Yunluo suddenly realized that these words were unlucky and immediately slapped her face gently:
“Bah, bah, bah! Crow’s mouth!!”
However, thinking that Ye Anping and the others were dealing with a demonic cultivator in the core formation stage, she still couldn’t let go of her worries. Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath, looked around the room, then simply turned around and rolled onto the bed. She took out an elegant book from her storage bag, hugged her sheathed spirit sword, and curled up into a ball.
She was prepared to use other things to distract herself so she wouldn’t be too emotionally stressed.
“Anyway, if something happens to Ye Anping, I will probably die here… Why am I so nervous? Just relax… um…”
Xiao Yunluo used this excuse to convince herself, pointed at the cover page of the elegant book with a green jade finger, and scratched lightly. Her spiritual power lifted the book and floated while the pages were flipped through.
Da da da–
Just when she was about to inject spiritual energy into the book and make the pictures on it move, suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came to her ears. Xiao Yunluo was startled for a moment, then turned over from the bed, walked to the room door, and held the sword’s hilt with her right hand.
Swish—
The Spirit Sword was five inches out of its sheath. The footsteps sounded like they were heading toward her and were swift, not like a servant of Chilong Mansion. Xiao Yunluo immediately held her breath and counted silently in her heart.
Three…
Two…
One…
Snap–
As she finished counting silently, the door was pushed open from the outside.
“Xiao——hiss——”
Swish—
Silver light flashed.
Feng Yudie opened the door and opened her eyes wide when she saw the incoming spirit sword. She subconsciously lowered her waist and watched as the spirit sword passed by the tip of her nose, directly cutting off several of her hair before she could bend down. Xiao Yunluo saw Feng Yudie lowering her waist at the door and was stunned momentarily. She then retracted her sword and placed it behind her arm.
“It’s you.”
“…”
Feng Yudie straightened her waist, watched Xiao Yunluo swallow her saliva, and couldn’t help complaining, “Senior Sister Xiao, do you want to kill me?”
“Who told you to enter the house without knocking?”
Xiao Yunluo shrugged slightly, returned to the room, and sat on the bed.
Feng Yudie was a little helpless and asked weakly, “…Senior Sister Xiao, couldn’t you see who it was before drawing the sword? If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I would have been wiped out by your sword.”
Xiao Yunluo flattened her mouth apologetically, was silent for a while, and replied in a low voice, “If it were you, I would definitely be able to avoid it. I believe you.”
“Um?”
Feng Yudie was stunned and felt inexplicably happy. She changed her expression, touched her head, and smiled, “In Senior Sister Xiao’s eyes, am I that reliable?”
She is easier to fool than Junior Sister Pei… Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips, not wanting to talk to her about this, so she directly changed the subject and asked, “Now that you’re back, that means everything went well, right? Is the demon cultivator dead?”
“It went well… Well, the demon cultivator’s death went smoothly, but…” Feng Yudie took out the jade pendant she had just found in Li Longling’s bedroom on the way from her storage bag, “Li Feng’s situation is not going well. He seems to be ready to take action.”
“This is?”
“The jade pendant given to me by Junior Sister Li can mobilize the guards of Chilong Mansion.”
“…”
“Senior Sister Xiao, hurry up and pack up. I’ll take you to a safe place first and leave the rest to me and Young Master Ye. He should be prepared. Although I haven’t heard what he said yet, I will go there to find him in a while.”
Xiao Yunluo frowned, hesitated, and said, “You don’t have to worry about me. I can protect myself.”
“Senior Sister Xiao, I don’t even know what the demon cultivator’s blood sacrifice formation is like now. It’s too dangerous for you to stay here.”
“Where’s Junior Sister Li?”
“Li Feng imprisoned Junior Sister Li. She is now in the back hall, with a maid accompanying her.”
“Then I will go there too. No matter what, Master Li will never attack Junior Sister Li. There is no danger in being with her.”
Xiao Yunluo stood up, held the sword in her arms, and simultaneously cleared the things around the room. “After you solve this matter, I must help Junior Sister Li hold up the scene. Junior Sister Li alone cannot suppress the fire. How many elders from the sect have gathered in Chilong Mansion now? They will be needed by then. Junior sister Li, give me an explanation.”
“Huh? But, it’s very dangerous.”
“Don’t underestimate me!”
Xiao Yunluo frowned, walked to Feng Yudie, and turned her face to hers:
“I also have things I can do. I can’t help you fight, but I am the young lady of Xuanxing Sect. Such a big thing happened in Chilong Mansion. How can I escape from the battle…”
Feng Yudie straightened her neck, not knowing what to say momentarily.
“Besides, Ye Anping can solve this matter,” Xiao Yunluo said, bypassing Feng Yudie and leaving the house.
Feng Yudie wanted to persuade her, but Xiao Tian, sitting on her shoulders, was holding her head and interrupted, “Yudie, it’s okay. Miss Xiao has Miss Xiao’s position. You’d better go find Ye kid quickly.”
“…”
Hearing what Xiao Tian said, Feng Yudie also closed her mouth.
“Senior Sister Xiao, please be careful. I’m going to find Young Master Ye first.”
“Well, you should also be careful and help me take good care of Ye Anping.”
Xiao Yunluo nodded, turned around, and walked along the corridor toward the outside while holding the sword. But after walking a few steps, she stopped again and turned to look back at Feng Yudie.
Feng Yudie tilted her head and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Um…” Xiao Yunluo glanced away, pursed her lips, and asked with a bit of embarrassment, “Which way to the back hall?”
“…”
Feng Yudie raised her eyebrows, was silent, pointed forward, and said, “Go out along the corridor, then turn right and walk two intersections, then turn left and walk three intersections, and you’re there.”
“Oh… okay.”
Xiao Yunluo nodded, removed an oil umbrella from her storage bag, opened it, and rushed to the back hall. After watching Xiao Yunluo leave, Feng Yudie sighed, looked up at the sky, and summoned her flying sword. Facing the falling raindrops, her sword flew into the sky and drew a line of light in the sky, heading towards the Jiang Mansion in Du Chun City.
