Chapter 436: Senior Brother, Sign Language
The night was silent, and the bright moon moved with the clouds, flickering brightly and dimly.
On a cliff high in the nameless valley, Ye Anping faced the northern horizon with his hands behind his hands, looking calmly at the radiance of spiritual power on the horizon that invaded the night.
Like the aurora in the desert, it dyed most of the starry sky.
If Ye Anping thought correctly, below that spiritual light was the “Luoxia Mountain” where Master Fu Xuan and the others were located, which was 6,700 miles away from the valley where he was now.
But even though he was six thousand seven hundred miles away, standing on this cliff now, he could still faintly feel the storm caused by the confrontation between the two void realm cultivators.
Washing your face with the breeze carrying the yellow sand was a little bit choking.
Hu Mu and Ghost Tomb Seven, although Hu Mu’s cultivation level was slightly worse than Ghost Tomb Seven’s, as a fox demon, he was naturally capable of restraining Ghost Tomb Seven’s evil aura. If they want to fight for life and death, it will take less than ten and a half days to a month.
Ye Anping believed that neither of them were fools, and they were not easily fooled. It was just because of their reputation that they would stop after two or three attempts. He also hoped that this would be the outcome of the matter.
But no matter what, the outcome between Hu Mu and Ghost Tomb Seven was not what he wanted.
At least for now, he couldn’t completely control the head-on confrontation between two void realm cultivators.
“I hope she is okay.”
After giving Hu Mu a bite, Ye Anping returned to the entrance of the cave where the valley was, preparing to take a look at the injuries of the Heavenly Execution Court disciples.
Four days had passed since he and Xiao Yunluo arrived.
Because many Heavenly Execution Court disciples were seriously injured and could not brave the desert wind and sand and the aura of the Fire Spirit for a long distance, so in the past few days, he just let them nurse themselves back to health as soon as possible and then took them to wield swords with them to Jianmen and join the other two teams of Heavenly Execution Court disciples.
As soon as he entered the cave, they could see that several Heavenly Execution Court disciples who had almost recovered were already practicing sword techniques or reading books.
When they saw Ye Anping coming back, those people immediately stopped what they were doing, raised their hands, and saluted him, calling him “Young Master Ye”.
Ye Anping didn’t like flattery and was quite uncomfortable facing such a big gift. He nodded to those people and walked straight toward a specially opened stone room deep in the cave.
Just as he walked to the curtain at the entrance of the stone room and was about to reach out and push aside the two pieces of cloth, the sound of Feng Yudie and the others playing around could be heard from inside:
“Sister Xiao, show me your horns~ I haven’t seen them yet. One!”
“Thirty thousand for a chicken. Yes, I want to take a look. You have such a big lump on your head. Isn’t it hot? There are no outsiders here…”
“If you don’t show it, it’s 40,000.”
“Forty thousand! Hehe~ Senior Sister Xiao, you showed it to Young Master Ye, why didn’t you show it to me? You are so stingy~”
“…No, no, no! You Idiot, why do you always play my cards wrong?”
…
Although it was indeed good that Feng Yudie and Yun Jiujiu had regained their energy, the Heavenly Execution Court disciples outside were recuperating while they were playing cards inside…
Ye Anping felt a little tired, sighed, then opened the curtain and walked in. Then he saw Xiao Tian holding Xiao Yunluo’s forehead to signal the second idiot, but Xiao Yunluo was completely unaware…
He rolled his eyes at Xiao Tian, walked towards the stone table with a map on the side, and whispered:
“Senior Sister Feng, don’t cheat when playing cards.”
Feng Yudie stood up in a daze. When she saw Ye Anping coming back, she pursed her lips in embarrassment, rubbed the back of her head and smiled silly, then quickly changed the topic:
“Young Master Ye, you are back~ How is it outside?”
Then, Xiao Yunluo, who had reacted, lifted her collar and raised her eyes:
“You idiot!! You’re cheating when you’re playing cards?!”
Ye Anping sighed again and ignored them. He turned his attention back to the map in front of him, used his spiritual power to hold up the ink stone on the table, and drew the return route on the map.
There were still many powerful monsters in the desert east of the Central Domain, and he wanted to avoid the territory of those monsters as much as possible. Although Xiao Yunluo was around, the low-level monsters did not dare to conflict with them, but they still avoided it whenever they could. The twenty-seven surviving Heavenly Execution Court disciples could not bear one more accident.
After roughly walking the route in his mind, Ye Anping’s eyes moved back to the position of the word “Donghuang” on the map.
Calculating the time, Gu Mingxin and He Jiming should have returned to Donghuang by now. If the two of them had traveled faster, they might have returned to the Eastern Domain.
Ye Anping had been thinking about it these past few days, what did Gu Mingxin’s last sentence to Feng Yudie mean, “Tell Ye Anping, he owes me your life!!”
He had already asked Xiao Tian what happened.
Judging from Xiao Tian’s narration, Gu Mingxin seemed to have the intention of surrendering to him, but he had no way of knowing the actual situation.
Gu Mingxin in the game, because Xue had been with her since she was a child and instilled three views on her, so she was a bit more normal than other demon cultivators, but only a bit normal.
Her adoptive father, Sect Master Yu Yan, was a bad old man to the core. If Xue taught half of Gu Mingxin, then Yu Yan taught her the other half.
It couldn’t be said that Gu Mingxin had no regard for human life and her behavior was extremely ruthless, but she was a good demon cultivator, right?
She and Feng Yudie were like yin and yang, and there was no way they could be together.
Ye Anping didn’t trust Gu Mingxin from the bottom of his heart. Even if she spared Feng Yudie’s life, she couldn’t convince Gu Mingxin to come to him.
Who knew that Gu Mingxin would sneak up and stab him in the back one day?
However…
Ye Anping pondered for a moment, then slowly took out Si Xuanji’s bell from his storage bag, focused on it, and stared at it for a while…
Si Xuanji also left a bell for Gu Mingxin. Could it be that he wanted her to conquer Gu Mingxin?
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel that his head was a little big.
As of now, the trajectory of Heavenly Dao regarding the Donghuang incident has completely gone in a direction that he had no clue about.
At every next step, he had to chart his course even more carefully than before.
At this moment, the faces of several demonic cultivators from the Eastern Domain appeared in Ye Anping’s mind. His fingers followed the path of Gu Mingxin toward the right side of the map and finally landed on the three characters of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
——He Buqun, the great elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, originally wanted to destroy Gu Mingxin and let his eldest son take the position of the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but he did not directly let Gu Mingxin be killed.
The reason was that He Buqun was worried that Gu Mingxin’s death at the hands of others would lead to the investigation of the Lord Hell.
It happened that Gu Mingxin fell into his hands three times in succession. He Buqun took this as a starting point and continued to instigate the relationship between “He Ji Ming” and her. Finally, he wanted to use He Ji Ming’s death to perform a bitter trick to make He Ji Ming a complete break with Gu Mingxin.
Gu Mingxin might have noticed that He Buqun was taking charge, but he still probably thought that it was He Buqun who secretly leaked the news to him, which caused him to stumble three times in a row, right?
Ah Gu, Ah Gu, how pitiful…
Hahaha…
The sound of playing mahjong in the stone room suddenly stopped. Yun Jiujiu looked at Ye Anping, who was smiling sinisterly at the map. She felt a little cold for no reason and thought:
“Yin Cricket… What are you doing?”
“Huh?” Xiao Yunluo heard the sound and followed Yun Jiujiu’s gaze, but she thought it was nothing, “Anping must have thought of another good idea.”
“What’s the idea?” Yun Jiujiu glanced at him and asked, “I don’t understand. What do you and Yun Yiyi like about him? The more I look at him, the more sinister I feel. His body is so slender and not at all masculine. I can’t help but be so angry…”
Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She couldn’t help but glance at Ye Anping’s pants and her cheeks turned red:
“Really? I think it’s quite masculine…”
?
Yun Jiujiu saw something was wrong with Xiao Yunluo’s gaze, and immediately rolled her eyes at her, then looked at Feng Yudie:
“What about you? What do you like about him?”
“?” Feng Yudie answered in a low voice with a question mark on her face, “I have my whole heart for Junior Sister Pei, but Young Master Ye’s roast chicken is quite delicious.”
“…” “…”
“What are you doing… It’s delicious.” Seeing the two of them looking at her like an idiot, Feng Yudie twisted her brows slightly and quickly shouted, “Young Master Ye! We want to eat roast chicken!!”
Ye Anping slowly turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Feng Yudie looking at him with a silly smile on her face, he suddenly felt tired of being a nanny, but he didn’t say anything and walked out expressionlessly.
Speaking of which, he remembered that in the bag of tips he had left for Feng Yudie, it was written that she could kiss his junior sister.
Feng Yudie didn’t mention this matter to him in the past few days, and he never wanted to take the initiative to mention it.
However, thinking about Feng Yudie’s miserable escape from death…
Ye Anping was thinking about this while walking toward the outside of the cave, but he immediately realized, why should he think about Feng Yudie.
Without even realizing it, I was almost led astray by that dog Heavenly Dao.
“Sigh… When I see my junior sister later, I’ll let her bite her in the face, and that’ll be the end of it.”
Ye Anping came outside the cave, set up a bonfire beside the entrance of the cave, took out a few frozen chickens from the storage bag, pierced them with the spirit sword, and set them on fire.
A line of smoke rose upward from the valley, and along with the “sizzling” sound of chicken fat falling into the campfire, the aroma of soy sauce spread.
Ah——
Suddenly there was a crane in the sky, causing him to slowly look up, only to see a white-feathered crane flying toward him like a meteor in the night sky, throwing bombs down.
An old cultivator in a pink coat sat cross-legged on the crane’s back, holding a fly whisk.
Ye Anping looked with his distance magic, and when he saw it was Ye Ao, he couldn’t help but frown:
“Dad?”
Then, behind Ye Ao, he saw Pei Lianxue standing on the back of the crane, waving a hand to greet him as if calling him “Senior brother”.
“…”
Because he saw that Pei Lianxue had three hands, Ye Anping thought he was dazzled for a moment and winked. However, after the red-crowned crane fell, he saw clearly that the junior sister had three hands.
“Brother!!”
Pei Lianxue slipped off the crane’s back in one step, ran to him holding the hand, looked blankly into the cave aside, and asked:
“Senior brother, why are you here? Aren’t you with Yunluo and the others?”
Ye Anping’s eyes stayed on the hand in Pei Lianxue’s hand, and he replied:
“I heard that Senior Sister Feng and the others were missing, so Yunluo and I rushed over.”
“So that’s it…” Pei Lianxue nodded. When she saw her senior brother staring at Gu Mingxin’s hand, she quickly smiled and showed off, “Senior brother, I met Gu Mingxin on the way here. I cut it off.”
“…”
The breeze caressed the black hair on the back of Ye Anping’s head. He was silent for a long time without reacting. Then he slowly took the hand that seemed to still have a trace of life and turned it over and over carefully.
Then, he raised his head and looked up and down at Pei Lianxue’s clothes. Seeing a slight sword wound on her face, he quickly asked:
“Junior sister, besides the injury on your face, are there any other injuries?”
“No…”
“Next time, don’t fight her alone. She has the black python beside her, and the Snow Spirit Spirits Sword is not in your hand. If you deal with her alone, you have less than a 50% chance of winning. Don’t think that I will praise you. Rather than seeing you chop off her hand, I would rather see you safe and sound.”
Seeing that Ye Anping was angry, Pei Lianxue slowly lowered her head and nodded:
“Oh…”
Ye Ao who was on the side saw Pei Lianxue soft and waxy in front of his son and was dumbfounded. He quickly walked up and said:
“Ping’er…”
But Ye Anping frowned and glared:
“Dad, what are you doing here?”
“Ah… Daddy, didn’t you want help…”
“I asked Brother Liang to come over, but I didn’t ask you to come over too. You can’t interfere with the Donghuang’s matter. If you make any mistake, how will I explain to my mother when I go back?”
Ye Ao had nothing to say for a moment. After witnessing the sword fight between Pei girl and the female demon cultivator, he became a little scared and quickly bowed:
“Dad made his own decision… I won’t make excuses anymore. I will tell you first next time…”
“Well…” Ye Anping slowly relaxed his frown and said, “It’s okay, Dad, you and my junior sister are my bottom line. During the confrontation between the two armies, no one has ever put their bottom line at the head of the formation. From now on, take good care of yourself in the Bailian Sect, and don’t just follow me here.”
Ye Ao smiled helplessly, cupped his hands, and said:
“Yes, Young Master Ye of the Hundred Lotus Sect has the final say from now on.”
“…”
Ye Anping suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He gently rubbed his junior sister’s face and said:
“Junior sister, you are awesome, but don’t let senior brother worry about you.”
“Well… But senior brother, Young Master Li said before that if Senior Brother faces something unexpected, he will ask his wife to help him take care of it.” Pei Lianxue puffed up her cheeks slightly, “I won’t do anything I’m not sure about.”
“…Um.”
Ye Anping didn’t expect that his junior sister would refute, and he was immediately relieved. He didn’t say anything more, nodded in response, and then lowered his head to look at Gu Mingxin’s hand.
Although most of them can’t be sold like Yun Tianchong’s secondary golden core, it’s a bit of a pity…
But, this also has other uses.
He remembered that Gu Mingxin’s blood-evil body could be put back together as long as it wasn’t broken into pieces and a broken hand could be put back together. But if Gu Mingxin didn’t put it back together, it was probably because she left it on purpose.
Ye Anping narrowed his eyes slightly, turned Gu Mingxin’s hand over, stretched out his index finger, and wrote five words on her palm.
——Ye received it.
In an instant, the cold severed hand seemed to come to life, and it directly pinched his index finger on the palm, but the force was not strong.
Ye Ao and Pei Lianxue on the side were immediately frightened and jumped back.
“Yeah?!” “Fuck!”
Ye Anping sighed softly and gently stroked the back of Gu Mingxin’s hand, and then it released the index finger it was holding. Then it opened and closed it a few times in Ye Anping’s hand, then clenched its fist and stopped moving.
Ye Anping took out a rope, hung Gu Mingxin’s hand on his belt, and then said:
“Dad, junior sister, let’s go to the cave and rest first. The rest will be explained slowly, don’t be in a hurry… We will head to Jianmen Pass after sunrise tomorrow.”
…
Could it be that he wanted her to conquer Gu Mingxin? => Could it be that she wanted him to conquer Gu Mingxin?
perhaps I’m not sure.
