Chapter 133 A Trip to Penglai (26)
Chapter 133 A Trip to Penglai (26)
When Luo Zai Shui saw Su Wu Si again, she almost didn't recognize her.
She, who was originally well-behaved and clever, seemed to have become silent and withered overnight.
She stood beside Ye Xiao, gazing at Ji Tinghan from afar.
She never imagined that one day her junior brothers and sisters would stand on opposite sides.
Ye Xiao seemed to say something to her, but Su Wusi just shook her head and turned to leave.
When Ji Tinghan realized that the person opposite him was Su Wusi, his grip on his sword tightened unconsciously.
"Demon Lord, shall we launch an attack now?"
"withdraw."
Ji Tinghan turned and left without saying a word.
"Retreat? But that's the Demon Lord..."
"Ok?"
The Demon Realm had long been Ji Tinghan's territory, and no one dared to disobey him here.
Late at night, Ji Tinghan seemed to be waiting for someone, and Luo Zaishui was with him.
A gentle breeze swept through the room, and a long sword was silently placed in front of Ji Tinghan.
"Junior sister, you've made a lot of progress."
The two seemed to have a lot to say, but neither could express it aloud.
"Where is my senior sister?"
Su Wusi's hand holding the sword was trembling, but he had no intention of pulling it back.
She feared that the person in front of her was no longer her senior brother, and this sword was her only bargaining chip.
Ji Tinghan stood up, and with each step he took, Su Wusi's sword retreated a fraction of an inch.
She never imagined that one day, she and her fellow disciples would turn against each other with swords drawn.
"Let's go, I'll take you there. She probably misses you too."
Ji Tinghan snatched the sword from her hand and put it back in its sheath: "Next time you want to kill someone, just end it with one sword. There's no need to leave him a chance to fight back."
Su Wusi explained weakly, "Senior brother, I didn't mean to kill you, I just..."
Ji Tinghan didn't seem to care much: "It's nothing, I'm just telling you some ways to make a living."
Upon seeing Qingluo's corpse in the water again, Su Wusi could no longer hold back her tears.
Ji Tinghan instinctively wanted to raise his hand to comfort them, but considering their current status and position, he held back.
Su Wusi didn't care about any of that. She threw herself into Ji Tinghan's arms and couldn't stop crying.
"Waaaaah, senior brothers... I've been looking for you for so long..."
"I miss you all so much... I miss my senior brothers, I miss my senior sisters, I miss my master, I want to go home..."
"Why did you leave me all alone? I'm so scared..."
"I want to go home... I want to go home with you all..."
Perhaps influenced by Su Wusi's emotions, Ji Tinghan, who hadn't shed a tear in a long time, also silently shed tears.
He awkwardly comforted his junior sister, mimicking his senior sister's actions. The barrier of their social status had long been broken down; they were family.
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
Su Wusi cried even harder, pounding on Ji Tinghan's back: "Why did you leave me with Senior Brother Ye? Why did you abandon me all alone? Why did you take Senior Sister away... Senior Brother, I hate it so much..."
Ji Tinghan gently patted her back: "I hate it too... I hate it too... Junior Sister, let's avenge Senior Sister together, okay?"
Su Wusi gently broke free from Ji Tinghan's embrace. Her crying face was quite unsightly, with snot and tears streaming down her face. However, the senior brothers and sisters of Xianyun Peak never cared about such things. They only knew that their junior sister had been wronged, and they should stand up for her.
"Senior brother, I want revenge."
Luo Zai Shui looked at Su Wu Si, who had suddenly become so strong, and felt extremely distressed.
Su Wusi tidied herself up, sat obediently in front of Luo Zaishui, held her hand, and chatted on and on.
"Senior sister, I have become a disciple of the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. He treats me very well, and Senior Brother Ye also treats me very well."
"The Wen family has dealt with many sects and clans over the years, and many people are already dissatisfied with the Wen family. Don't worry, we will avenge you soon."
"Don't worry, senior sister, we'll be able to take you home soon."
……
"Senior brother, what exactly happened when the Wen family identified you as a member of the demon race?"
After calming down, the two started talking about serious matters.
"Is that important?"
This matter is no longer of any concern to Ji Tinghan, who has now become the Demon Lord.
“It’s important.” Su Wusi said each word firmly and forcefully, “It’s important because Third Senior Brother believes in you, I believe in you, and Senior Sister believes in you. We don’t want you to suffer injustice for no reason.”
Ji Tinghan paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Back then, I don't know what happened, but the Wen family members who were traveling with me suddenly started attacking people. I had no choice but to take action, but they suddenly exploded and died. Then, a wisp of demonic energy entangled me."
Su Wusi nodded: "I knew it."
Ji Tinghan was somewhat surprised: "What do you know?"
Su Wusi had no intention of hiding anything: "Senior brother, do you remember when we encountered a group of crazed demonic beasts back then?"
Ji Tinghan certainly remembered.
"And then there's the Wen family who suddenly went mad during the sect competition back then." Su Wusi paused for a moment. "We suspect that the Wen family might be doing something shady, but to investigate further, we'll have to delve deeper into the Wen family's inner circle."
Ji Tinghan understood: "I will find a way to continue investigating this matter. Don't alert them."
"I know, senior brother, you too, please be careful in everything."
"By the way, Xue Xin, he..."
Ji Tinghan took Luo Zaishui away back then, but he couldn't take Xue Xin. Is he... still alive?
Su Wusi smiled upon hearing this: "Don't worry, Senior Brother. Third Senior Brother is alright. Senior Sister Nie arrived in time to save him. It's just that his hand... but it's fine. Senior Brother Sun from the Metallurgy Sect gave him a mechanical arm, so it won't affect his life. Eldest Senior Brother and Fifth Senior Brother are still here..."
"Boom boom boom——"
Three faint knocks sounded on the window, and a white figure climbed in through the window.
"Junior Sister Su, it's time to go."
The person who arrived was Ye Xiao.
Ji Tinghan was somewhat displeased: "Why did you come here too? I removed the guards for my junior sister, and you came along, you've got some nerve."
Ye Xiao explained, "I'm just worried about Junior Sister Su's safety."
"I can protect my junior sister myself, you don't need to worry about it."
Upon seeing Ye Xiao standing next to Su Wusi, Ji Tinghan felt a surge of inexplicable anger; this person was simply an eyesore.
Su Wusi quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Senior brother, I asked Senior Brother Ye to come with me. We'll leave right away..."
Ji Tinghan's forehead veins bulged, but he didn't say much: "Alright, you guys should leave quickly and be careful."
"By the way, senior brother." Before leaving, Su Wusi suddenly turned back, "Xianyun Peak is still there. Uncle-Master has set up a barrier so outsiders can't get in, but we can. Everyone is waiting for us to bring senior sister back."
After saying that, the two disappeared without a trace.
Ji Tinghan stood there, stunned. Was Xianyun Peak still there...?
Everyone... is waiting for us to come back...
When Su Wusi left, he took Luo Zai Shui's soul with him.
After leaving the Demon Clan, Luo Zai Shui finally understood what purgatory truly meant.
