Chapter 139: Many Doubts about Kunwu
The reason why Lingxiang was so furious was not entirely because of what Maidong said, but also because she felt uncomfortable seeing Long Qi in the courtyard, so she took advantage of Maidong's message and pretended to run out in a hurry.
She muttered to herself as she hurried down the hill.
"Long Qi is such a jerk. He actually instigated Xin Yi to plot against her. Xin Yi is also a jerk. I haven't even said that I consider him a friend, but he is quite good at plotting for others."
"This wolf and this hyena are truly a match made in heaven, they are a perfect match!"
As he was muttering to himself, he didn't expect that there was a person running towards him at a high speed. The two of them bumped into each other. Fortunately, the person was agile and grabbed Lingxiang with one hand and a short tree nearby with the other, so the two of them didn't roll down the mountain.
As soon as the two men stood still, the man who went up the mountain spoke immediately.
"I was in a hurry to go up the mountain to look for someone, and I bumped into the girl. But now I have something important to do, otherwise I would definitely apologize to the girl."
Hearing the voice, it turned out to be a woman. Lingxiang looked up and her eyes lit up.
Although the person was a woman, she looked very dashing. There was a song praising her:
The horse's hair is like flying clouds, and her eyebrows are like willows, her eyes are like peaches.
He has a high nose, a pretty mouth and sweet words, but his face is full of sorrow.
Ling Xiang knew everyone in the sect, but this man was wearing a red robe with some dried blood on it, as if he had just been in a fierce battle. And the clothes looked like Taoist armor used to exorcise demons and monsters, could it be that this man was also a Taoist?
Lingxiang said it was okay, and she took the woman's pulse. After a quick feel of her pulse, she concluded that the woman must have some cultivation experience.
Not to mention how steady and strong her pulse is, the fact that she has climbed all the way to Qingwei Peak and her pulse is not rapid shows that she knows some martial arts. In addition, she is wearing Taoist armor, so it seems that she must have a lot of cultivation.
Lingxiang let go of the girl without leaving a trace, and said to her with a smile: "I wonder who you are looking for on Qingwei Peak?" Then she smiled softly, "To be honest, I know the master of Qingwei Peak. Judging from the way the girl is dressed, she must be here to ask for medicine. Why don't you tell me a thing or two first? I'm sure I can help you."
The woman was delighted when she heard this: "Are you telling the truth?"
Lingxiang smiled back: "Look, I am also a cultivator, how could I lie to you? Besides, you and I just met by chance, and I don't know who you are. What good would it be for me to lie to you? Of course, I won't lie at all."
The girl was overjoyed, but hesitated for a moment before pulling Lingxiang to sit aside and talking.
……
When Mai Dong heard Ling Xiang's words, he hurriedly chased after her, still shouting, "Didn't you drag me in without letting me say anything?"
When he was about to catch up with Lingxiang, he was pulled back for no reason. When he turned around, he saw that it was Long Qi.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Could something have happened?"
Just now, he was happy when he heard Xinyi say Lingxiang was embarrassed, but he didn't expect Lingxiang to ignore him and walk away without even looking at him. He couldn't help but feel nervous: What is this little girl thinking? So when he saw Maidong behind him, he didn't care about Xinyi and hurriedly pulled her to ask.
Mai Dong was ordered to invite Ling Xiang, but Ling Xiang left in such a hurry. If she arrived in front of the head teacher first, and he was not there yet, wouldn't it be a complete disrespect of etiquette? After all, Ling Xiang was her elder.
While she was pulling at her clothes, she looked at Lingxiang who was walking away outside the courtyard, and said hurriedly, "A group of people came down the mountain, saying they were here to ask for medicine, and they also talked about exchanging ideas. I don't think they are here, but they seem to be here to cause trouble."
"Looking for trouble? If you come here to ask for medicine, why would you look for trouble?" Xinyi was puzzled. While asking, she helped Maidong to pull open his clothes.
When Maidong saw Xinyi asking him, his mind was no longer on Lingxiang. He turned around and said, "Hey, they said they came to ask for medicine to save people, but they also said they wanted to exchange Taoist techniques. Tell me, how can they be in a hurry to save people and still have the mind to exchange Taoist techniques with others? Everyone knows that saving people is like putting out a fire, and it's too late even if you rush to do it, but you still have such thoughts. I think they must be here to cause trouble, and asking for medicine is just an excuse."
"Are you saying that the person who came here intends to fight?" Long Qi asked hurriedly after hearing that.
Mai Dong curled his lips and said, "People coming? They are a group of people, they say they are from the Kunwu Sect, the leader is an old man, he looks very fierce, not like a cultivator at all. Look at the several elders in the sect, Uncle Zhao Ming is the most severe, but he is just a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, even if he looks like a kind person."
Kunwu Sect? Xinyi could not help but frown. He knew about the Kunwu Sect. When Xinyi worked for Bai Wuchang before, he went to Haoyang City to inquire about the Kunwu Sect in order to find out the news of the life-extending pill.
Kunwu Sect is a large sect in Haoyang City in the south. Its strength is no less than Yuanqing Sect. Moreover, it is not a pure sect like Yuanqing Sect. Its disciples often go down the mountain to eliminate demons and monsters for the people. It has a very good reputation. But I heard that the head of Kunwu Sect is a kind person. How can he have a fierce face?
Xinyi was puzzled and asked Maidong: "Did the visitor tell him who he is?"
Hearing this, Mai Dong scratched his head and thought for a while: "It is said that he is called Taoist Priest Xuantan, and now he is leading a group of disciples in the meeting hall."
Taoist Xuantan? This is strange. Taoist Xuantan is the head elder of Kunwu Sect. How could he have time to come to Yuanqing in person? Besides, when sects visit each other, the head of the sect should be here in person. So where did Taoist Xuanhuai go?
After talking for a long time, Mai Dong finally came to his senses. He slapped his head and quickly stood up - he was clearly trying to catch up with Lingxiang just now. If he let her get to the hall first, he might be scolded by Uncle Zhaoming for being rude when he returned!
"No, no, today we are meeting people from the outside sect, and my master has repeatedly reminded me to abide by the rules. Now I was so focused on talking to you that I forgot about Lingxiang. If she arrives in the hall and I don't see her for a long time, I will definitely be scolded when I go back!" As she said that, she hurriedly chased out of Xianyunju.
Long Qi and Xin Yi looked at each other. He saw something unusual in Xin Yi's eyes. Then they nodded to each other and chased after him together.
At this time, Honeysuckle, who was hiding in the kitchen, came out. He had naturally heard everything they had just said, but he had something on his mind and didn't want to think too much about it.
Honeysuckle pondered for a moment in front of the door, and finally decided to go back to her room - she thought she didn't need to cook dinner, so she might as well go back and clean up.
Long Qi and Xin Yi were very fast and caught up with Mai Dong in a short while. They wanted to ask her something, but Mai Dong suddenly stopped. They looked up and saw Ling Xiang sitting alone on the hillside, wondering what she was thinking about.
Seeing this, Maidong took a deep breath and leaped, then turned around and landed in front of Lingxiang.
"You still have a conscience, and you care about our sisterhood. You know that if you come and I don't, I will definitely be punished."
But Lingxiang ignored her words and looked up and said to Maidong:
"Mai Dong, I need your help with something. This matter concerns human life, you must not refuse!"
