Chapter 417 Sneaky
Chapter 417 Sneaky
Driven by curiosity, people always do things that make people laugh and cry. ——Inscription
"Is there something strange about this Dragon Prison Ridge?" Fan Nuoxi continued to ask.
"You're just a kid, don't ask too many questions! You'd better have a good rest these days, stay here, and don't go anywhere!" Su Xiu tapped her forehead again.
Why are you so sensitive?
Fan Nuoxi pretended to be in pain and said aggrievedly, "Since you said I was a child, why are you bullying me like this? You are really disrespectful to your elders!"
Su Xiu, "..."
"Hmph! You stinky old man, I won't pay any attention to you!"
After saying this, Fan Nuoxi ran back to the house.
Seeing this, the other people followed them back to the house. Su Xiu looked at their backs and seemed to be hesitant to say something.
Forget it, with them watching, I don’t think she will do anything stupid!
In the following days, Su Xiu seldom came back, and no one knew what he was doing.
"Hey, does anyone know how long it will take for my spiritual power to recover?" As soon as he sat down, Fan Nuoxi looked at them with some distress.
"Now you remember that you are a patient?" Meng Yujie raised her eyebrows and threatened, "With your body, it will take at least two or three months before you can use spiritual power."
"Ah?" Fan Nuoxi said in disbelief, "Then how about I go back and recuperate?"
"If you dare to run, I will break your legs!" Meng Yujie pinched Fan Nuoxi's face angrily.
I carried them back alone to recuperate for more than a year. Now I want to run away? Dream on!
"Even if you want to run, you have to take us with you!" Ruochen echoed.
Whenever something happens, I’m afraid of dragging them down. What a shame!
Fan Nuoxi pinched Meng Yujie's face and said, "Why don't you tell the truth?"
"You, if you cultivate well for three to five days, you will be able to use spiritual power!" Meng Yujie rubbed her face and glared at Fan Nuoxi.
"That's pretty much it!"
Fan Nuoxi felt relieved now.
……
"Junior Sister Yin..."
"Junior Sister Yin..."
"Without the consent of the headmaster and the ancestors, you cannot enter!"
Pei Hongye, Chen Qiusheng, Xun Nan, He Canye and Ding Yu, carrying several food boxes, appeared outside the side hall at some point, but were stopped by the guarding disciples.
"I wonder why Senior Brother Pei and the other senior brothers are here?"
When Bai Zhou saw them coming, he walked out of the hall.
"We heard that Junior Sister Yin was seriously injured in the Trial Tower, so we wanted to come and see her." Pei Hongye's eyes were full of worry.
"She has been sleeping for a long time. If there is nothing else, you brothers should go back." Bai Zhou refused in a distant tone.
The disciple who was blocking them took advantage of this and said, "Brother Pei, please stop making things difficult for us. Let's go back..."
"This is a little gift from us. Why don't you stay and try it?" Pei Hongye knew that it was hopeless for her, but he still held his food box in front of him.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother. However, since the Sect Master has been taking good care of us, I won't bother you."
After saying this, Bai Zhou returned to the side hall.
"Hey, why are you leaving so soon?" Ding Yu felt a little dissatisfied.
"Senior brothers, please go back."
When I woke up, it was already late at night.
Fan Nuoxi rubbed her groggy head, slowly sat up from the bed, and looking at the moonlight pouring in from the window, she couldn't help but want to go out for a walk.
After packing up simply, Fan Nuoxi went out.
Perhaps it was the perfect moonlight, or perhaps it was because the scent of the stars was so strong in the moonlit night, Fan Nuoxi subconsciously started walking outside based on her feeling.
As they walked, Fan Nuoxi actually found Pei Wang walking alone.
Pei Wang didn't know what he was holding in his arms, and was walking towards an area with a strong aura of starry sky. Fan Nuoxi couldn't help but follow him secretly.
Pei Wang had actually noticed Fan Nuoxi's cautious movements a long time ago, but he found that Xing Yun's aura did not seem to reject Fan Nuoxi's step-by-step approach, so he let her follow.
After all, he believed that the ancestor would not make a mistake in choosing someone.
If any disciple in the past wanted to get close to this place, he would definitely be hurt by Xingyun's aura. He was just lucky to have a treasure that could help him avoid it, otherwise, he would also be hurt.
Perhaps, whether Xingyun can wake up may have something to do with her.
For some reason, Xingyun's aura has become stronger in the past few days, and the damage it causes to people is also stronger.
For this reason, the disciples who were originally patrolling here have not dared to come for several days.
Under the circumstances tonight, Xing Yun's aura could cause more harm to people than yesterday, but Fan Nuoxi was unharmed. It was hard not to make Pei Wang have other thoughts in his mind.
As Fan Nuoxi followed Pei Wang, she felt that sometimes he was afraid that she would get lost, so he would wait for her intentionally or unintentionally. This made her suspect that Pei Wang did it on purpose.
But, she has come to this point, it would be a shame not to go and see...
After about a cup of tea, he slowly stopped in front of a cave.
"Miss Yin, you've followed me all the way here, why don't you come with me to take a look?" Pei Wang turned around and said softly.
Hearing the sound, Fan Nuoxi, who was hiding not far away, suddenly became conflicted about whether to go in.
Just as she was hesitating, Pei Wang walked up to him and joked, "You dared to go into the Trial Tower alone, why don't you dare to go here?"
"Master, I just thought the night sky was nice tonight, so I just wanted to take a walk, but I accidentally got lost, so I followed you... Please forgive me." Fan Nuoxi saluted quickly and found an excuse for himself.
"But... you followed me to the forbidden area of the sect. Logically, you should be expelled from the sect." Pei Wang said in distress.
"Master, why don't you just pretend that I have never been here?" Fan Nuoxi hurriedly asked ingratiatingly.
Is this a forbidden area?
She really doesn’t know…
Pei Wang grabbed Fan Nuoxi's wrist and said without allowing any refusal, "No. Unless you come in with me!"
"If I go in, will you expel me from the sect, Master?" Fan Nuoxi said pitifully.
If she was kicked out whether she entered or not, it would be too embarrassing...
"see your performance!"
After Pei Wang said this, Fan Nuoxi followed him as if he was ready to die.
The moment the stone door opened, candlelight quickly lit up in the dark cave in front of him, and the breath of Xingyun also spread from the cave from far to near.
Fan Nuoxi was secretly happy in her heart.
Pei Wang was not paying attention for a moment and his arm was cut by the breath, and the crescent-shaped white clothes were soon stained with blood.
Fan Nuoxi looked at the cave curiously, but did not find any traps. He looked at Pei Wang in confusion, "There are obviously no traps here, so why did the master get hurt?"
"You'll find out if you follow me in."
Pei Wang pressed a few acupoints near the wound, then went in, covering his arm.
Fan Nuoxi hesitated for a moment, but still followed in.
After walking through several long corridors, Pei Wang led Fan Nuoxi to the entrance of an ice-blue vortex passage.
“There will be some outsiders’ eyes and ears in the sect, and these are the people the sect has been protecting for generations. I got hurt because of her…” Pei Wang explained briefly, his tone sounding a little self-deprecating.
He has been guarding her for so many years, but he is still not as good as this little girl.
"But...why am I okay?" Fan Nuoxi pursed her lips, not quite understanding.
"Maybe... you will know when you meet her." Pei Wang's eyes were full of hope.
Then, Pei Wang took Fan Nuoxi's sleeve and entered the vortex channel.
"Follow me closely and don't let your mind wander, or you will be torn to pieces by this passage."
As soon as these words were spoken, Fan Nuoxi immediately followed Pei Wang obediently.
Is this place really that dangerous?
Why can't she feel anything at all?
After passing through the passage, Fan Nuoxi felt like he had come to a world of ice and snow.
It seemed like there was unmeltable ice all around, making people feel chilly. There were also things like snowflakes falling from the sky. Fan Nuoxi couldn't help but reach out to catch the falling things.
The moment that thing fell into Fan Nuoxi's hand, it turned into a silver-white butterfly and flew away.
This scene made Pei Wang's eyes flash with many complex emotions, which finally turned into joy.
The person that Pei Wang wanted Fan Nuoxi to see was lying in a crystal coffin in mid-air, and there seemed to be nothing near the hanging coffin.
When Fan Nuoxi saw the hanging coffin, many emotions surged in his heart, and finally turned into one sentence, "Master, the person you are talking about, could he be in that hanging coffin?"
"Ah."
"Then how do we get up there?" Fan Nuoxi looked around the coffin and saw that there was nothing there. "And your injury, is it serious?"
