When Mu Qing heard Lin Xiao's words, she slightly frowned.
Of course, she knew that these disciples were so excited because they misheard "my mother" as "my Mu Qing". She also knew who Lin Xiao's mother was.
"Come with me first."
Just when the Taiwu Mountain disciples were so excited that they rushed toward Lin Xiao, Mu Qing suddenly spoke.
When she spoke, the Taiwu Mountain disciples were all dumbfounded.
What's going on!
This lecher was flirting with the Saintess in front of everyone. Not only was the Saintess not angry, she was even letting this lecher go with her?
Could it be that the two of them really had some sort of relationship?
For a moment, the Taiwu Mountain disciples clutched their hearts. They could hear their hearts shattering. The goddess they had protected for so many years actually ran away with someone else?
Mu Qing ignored these disciples and brought Lin Xiao up Taiwu Mountain. They went all the way to the main peak of Taiwu Mountain and arrived at an exquisite courtyard.
This courtyard was next to the main peak of Taiwu Mountain. It was elegantly decorated and behind the courtyard was a bamboo forest. Mu Qing brought Lin Xiao into the bamboo forest and said with a frown: "You can't go find Junior Martial Aunt right now."
"Why?"
Lin Xiao asked. Soon after, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression slightly changed. He said with an unnatural voice: "She's in Han Prison right now?"
"You even know …"
Mu Qing was a bit surprised that Lin Xiao actually knew that Situ Xiu was imprisoned in Han Prison. One had to know that this was a secret of the entire Taiwu Mountain. Even she found out by accident.
As the new Saintess, she naturally had a closer relationship with Situ Xiu. She also found out that Situ Xiu would not be on the mountain for a few days every month. She originally thought that Situ Xiu would go down the mountain to train every month until she accidentally saw an elder escorting Situ Xiu to a hermit peak. Only then did she know the reason.
However, she also did not know why the daughter of the sect master, the previous Saintess, would be treated so cruelly. But since this was a secret of Taiwu Mountain, she could not ask.
"Take me there."
Lin Xiao didn't say much. He looked straight into Mu Qing's eyes and said word by word.
"No!"
When Mu Qing heard this, she immediately refused. She frowned and advised: "I understand your feelings, but the Cold Prison is a forbidden area of our Tai Wu Mountain. The people imprisoned there are all sinners of the sect. Without the Sect Master's permission, normal people are not allowed to approach the Cold Prison. Those who do will be killed without mercy!"
"Sinners of the sect?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but sneer. His emotions also became agitated: "My mother only fell in love with my father and was unwilling to be manipulated by Situ Ming. She married Ge Qianqiu's son, yet she became a sinner of Mount Taiwu?"
"I …"
Mu Qing didn't know what to say.
In reality, her relationship with Situ Xiu was quite good. Situ Xiu had always treated her very well. In her heart, she had always treated Situ Xiu as her mother. When she first found out that Situ Xiu was imprisoned in the Cold Prison, she was also very angry. She even wanted to go and reason with the Sect Master.
However, Situ Xiu told her that she must swallow this secret and pretend that she never knew about it.
Situ Xiu didn't even want to tell her the reason.
She knew that Situ Xiu did it to protect her. That was why she never mentioned it to anyone. But now, facing Lin Xiao, she didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything. I just want to see her." When Lin Xiao saw that Mu Qing's expression was a bit troubled, he patted his chest and promised.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Mu Qing pondered for a moment. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said: "But you must promise me that you can't be impulsive and listen to my orders!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Lin Xiao nodded.
Mu Qing took a deep breath and led Lin Xiao through the small path behind the bamboo forest. They avoided the guards of the Taiwu Mountain disciples and circled around to the small path in the hermit peaks.
The two of them walked for two hours before they reached the peak of the hermit peaks.
At the top of the mountain, there was a cliff covered in white snow. At the edge of the cliff, there was a huge iron chain covered in snow. It led to a protruding rock.
"That's the Cold Prison."
Mu Qing pointed at the protruding rock connected to the chain and said to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao's gaze followed the chain and saw that the protruding rock was covered in snow. It had even frozen into ice. Even from several dozen meters away, he could feel the cold. What kind of bone-chilling cold would the person imprisoned in there feel?
"Mother …"
Lin Xiao looked at the protruding rock and silently muttered. His feet unconsciously moved forward. Just as he was about to step onto the chain, he suddenly heard Mu Qing's trembling voice.
"Lin Xiao, I …"
Mu Qing's entire body went limp on the ground. Her hands tightly hugged herself as her body trembled.
If one looked carefully, one would find that her lips were deathly pale. Even the corners of her eyes and brows were covered in a thin layer of frost.
"Mu Qing, what's wrong with you?!"
Seeing Mu Qing's situation, Lin Xiao hurriedly reached out and hugged her. He found that her body was like a block of ice without the slightest warmth. Lin Xiao couldn't help but frown and ask: "Is the cold poison acting up?"
"Mm."
Mu Qing leaned into Lin Xiao's arms. Her entire body had lost all strength as she nodded strenuously.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao hurriedly circulated the demonic flames in his body to expel the cold from Mu Qing's body. At the same time, he looked deeply at the other side of the chain before carrying Mu Qing down the mountain.
Mu Qing's body had the cold poison. In this kind of environment, it would aggravate her cold poison. Although his demonic flames could temporarily restrain the cold poison in her body, once he left her side, the cold poison would act up again. Therefore, he could only bring Mu Qing down the mountain first.
He jogged all the way back and brought Mu Qing back to the side courtyard where they had been staying.
At this moment, Mu Qing's eyebrows were covered in a thick layer of frost and she was unconscious.
"Mu Qing, wake up."
Lin Xiao placed Mu Qing on the bed and used the demonic flames to warm her body as he held her hand and called out anxiously.
However, Mu Qing's eyes were still tightly shut and she didn't respond at all. Seeing that her body was getting colder and colder, Lin Xiao couldn't help but frown.
He must protect her heart meridians. Otherwise, the cold poison would attack her heart and the consequences would be unimaginable!
With that thought, Lin Xiao pressed his hand against Mu Qing's chest and used the demonic flames in his hand to slowly penetrate her clothes and warm her heart meridians.
Just like this, after half an hour, the frost on Mu Qing's body slowly subsided.
Mu Qing slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in Lin Xiao's arms. Lin Xiao's hand was placed squarely on the softness of her chest.
She immediately slapped Lin Xiao's hand away fiercely and sat up abruptly. Her little face was pale as she panted heavily and scolded weakly, "Lin Xiao, you lecher!"
Lin Xiao: "…"
He was really wrongly accused!
