But after taking a few steps, Yan Yue discovered that she couldn't move. Her entire body was fixed in place.
A gust of wind blew from behind, and Yan Yue's white robes fluttered in the wind.
In the blink of an eye, a man wearing a dark blue robe was already standing in front of Yan Yue.
"What did you say?
What you said just now, is it true? "
At this time, there were already people on the road. Some people had already noticed the sudden appearance of the blue robed man. Many people stood in the distance and looked at Yan Yue.
The man frowned and grabbed Yan Yue and Morin with one hand. He threw them onto a large round fan at the side. Then, he stood on the fan and urged it. With a whoosh, the fan flew the three people towards the small town's mercenary building.
This was the first time Yan Yue experienced the feeling of flying. She had never even sat on a plane before. But clearly, the feeling of flying for the first time didn't leave a good impression on Yan Yue. Not to mention that she couldn't move her body, she was also flying so fast. It would be strange if she could experience anything!
The man brought Yan Yue and Morin to a room at the back of the mercenary building. He nodded to the few people sitting in the room. Then, he walked to the praying mat at the side and sat down cross-legged.
Yan Yue moved her sore arms. Only then did she discover that she could move.
She looked up and sized up the few people in front of her. She discovered that they were all uncles in their thirties. Only the one who had just captured her looked slightly younger. He looked to be in his twenties.
Rao Shucheng saw that Yan Yue didn't show any fear when she saw them. Instead, she calmly sized them up. In his heart, he felt some admiration for Yan Yue.
He rubbed his chin and said, "Just now, I heard Little Fellow Daoist say that the one who died might not be Elder Jin. I wonder if you can explain this to us?"
Sure enough, it was for this matter. Just as she finished speaking, the space had a strange change. Yan Yue couldn't help but think about it. Originally, she thought that she would be safe out of the town. She didn't expect that she was still in the range of other people's spiritual awareness. She couldn't help but laugh at herself. Yan Yue, ah, Yan Yue, you still underestimate this world.
Glancing at the man who asked the question, Yan Yue half-jokingly said, "What if I say that I don't know?"
"Impudent!" Before Rao Shucheng could say anything, Qiao Hengguang, who was beside him, couldn't stand it anymore.
She was only a mere ninth layer Qi Condensation cultivator, yet she dared to be so unreasonable in front of a Jin Dan cultivator. As he spoke, a fierce pressure pressed down on Yan Yue and Morin.
Qiao Hengguang's pressure was mainly directed at Yan Yue. However, Yan Yue stood there motionless, as if she wasn't affected.
Morin, who was beside her, only swayed a little. He wasn't pressed down by this pressure. Even though the main person bearing this pressure was Yan Yue, if it was an ordinary seventh layer Qi Condensation cultivator standing next to her, they wouldn't be able to withstand it and would kneel down.
Morin felt that his heart was very strange. He could still stand well. On one hand, it was because of the stimulation from His Lord. He didn't want to discredit His Lord, so he gritted his teeth and endured this pressure. However, just when he thought that he couldn't hold on anymore, another emotion gushed out from the depths of his heart. It was unfamiliar and cold. A trace of cold light flashed in his eyes. In less than a breath's time, everything disappeared again. No one noticed, and even he felt that it was an illusion.
Seeing that Yan Yue and Morin were still standing well under his pressure, Qiao Hengguang's face couldn't bear it anymore. Originally, he just wanted to teach them a lesson and didn't intend to hurt them.
But who knew that the two of them were standing well now? Wasn't this slapping his own face?
His heart was unconvinced and unwilling. He didn't believe that his pressure as a Jin Dan cultivator couldn't defeat two Qi Condensation cultivators.
Wave after wave of pressure greeted Yan Yue's body. This time, Morin only held on for two breaths before he couldn't take it anymore and sat down on the ground. Yan Yue's face gradually turned pale, and cold sweat flowed down her forehead.
At this moment, although her body was still standing well, she couldn't move at all under that pressure. If there was a strong wind, she might be blown down.
The few people at the side didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Qiao Hengguang's stubbornness, but they didn't stop him. They also wanted to see how long this calm child could hold on. But as time passed, the expressions on their faces became more and more surprised.
Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't hold on for so long. This child was actually so amazing.
Qiao Hengguang originally increased the pressure again, hoping that the two of them couldn't take it anymore so that he could save some face. But who would have thought that Yan Yue was still standing well?
He had long forgotten his original intention. His eyes flashed with excitement, and he was very interested in Yan Yue. The pressure didn't stop, and it seemed that he was competing with Yan Yue.
She was already at her limit. Yan Yue felt that her legs were trembling, and her whole body was sweating. She didn't want to give in, but her body kept forcing her to kneel. Just when Yan Yue thought that she couldn't take it anymore, a clear male voice sounded from outside the door.
"Elder Qiao is already over fifty years old. Bullying two teenagers like this isn't appropriate for an elder."
Following the appearance of this voice, the pressure on Yan Yue's body suddenly disappeared. Her whole body was surrounded by a warm light, and her originally weak body gradually recovered.
Morin also felt the pressure on him disappear with the appearance of this voice, and he immediately stood beside Yan Yue.
The two tightly closed doors also slowly opened from the outside. The sunlight shone on the person, and only a vague figure could be seen. His appearance couldn't be distinguished.
The few people who were originally sitting in the room immediately stood up and bowed to the man. "Greetings, Young Master!"
The man nodded slightly and walked towards Yan Yue and Morin. Yan Yue finally saw his appearance clearly. His eyebrows were very light, soft, and long. His gray eyes had a warm light. When he pursed his lips, it was very small. His black hair wasn't tied up, and it just fluttered in the wind. Such a face should have been born with a woman's face, but on him, it didn't fit at all.
He gave off a very sunny and warm feeling. This should be the kind of person who was cultured and refined.
While Yan Yue was sizing him up, he was also quietly observing Yan Yue and Morin.
Both of them were wearing white robes. Morin gave him the feeling of being honest, while Yan Yue gave him the feeling of being cold.
However, one could tell at a glance which of the two was the one who was in charge. It was the one who was slightly shorter.
He had a calm and steady aura, a calm gaze, and was born with a sense of pride. In addition to that, he had a refined appearance that could topple cities. If he was nurtured, he definitely wouldn't be an ordinary person.
Although they were sizing each other up, it only took a few breaths of time. The man came in front of the two of them and said to Yan Yue and Morin, "This one is Koto. Just now, Elder Qiao didn't mean to hurt the two of you. If you can help with Elder Jin's matter, I hope that the two of you can lend a helping hand. Here are two bottles of Hunyuan Pills. Take it as an apology for what happened just now."
Morin glanced at Yan Yue. Seeing that His Lord didn't object, he went forward to take the Hunyuan Pills from Koto. He sighed in his heart. As expected of someone from the Mercenary Hall. Two bottles of Hunyuan Pills were given out just like that. How generous!
Yan Yue frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. She was still too poor. Since the other party had sent something to her door, there was no reason for her to reject it.
Although she didn't have the feeling of being lenient when taking things from others, if she didn't do something, these people wouldn't let her leave safely!
Her cultivation wasn't enough in the other party's eyes. After all, it was the Jindan Period!
That was an existence that could look down on the Foundation Establishment Stage. Her Qi Refining Stage cultivation was similar to an ant in their eyes!
"Where is his body?
Some things can't be determined yet. "
"That's easy. Come with me." Koto waved her hand to stop the few elders who wanted to stop her. Then, she led Yan Yue and Qiao Huisheng to the underground ice room.
"Young Master is really too insensible. She actually brought outsiders down so casually. If those two people were spies sent by the You Family, how are we going to explain it to the Patriarch? That thing …"
"Elder Huo Yan!" Qiao Hengguang shouted at Huo Yan, stopping him from continuing.
Huo Yan also reacted at this time. He turned his head resentfully and didn't say anything.
"You think too much. It's just two little guys in the Qi Refining Stage. No matter how cowardly the You Family is, they won't send people with such low cultivation. Also, that word is forbidden in the Qin Family." Rao Shucheng patted Huo Yan's shoulder, seemingly comforting and reminding him.
"Who knows if this is their conspiracy again? Maybe they sent people in the Qi Refining Stage to make us lower our guard. Anyway, I don't trust those two people. No, I have to go down and take a look."
"Hey!
Don't be impulsive. Young Master naturally has his own ideas. Think about it. When has Young Master ever been confused? Don't rush in and make Young Master unhappy. "
The man in blue who caught Yan Yue and Morin didn't say a word from beginning to end. He didn't pay attention to the three guys in the room. Instead, he followed in the direction where Koto and the others disappeared. The three people looked at each other a few times and followed him.
As soon as they left the room, a man wearing a waiter's uniform and holding a tray stood at the corner of the corridor on the right side of the room. He tilted his head slightly and glanced in the direction where the few people had just left. The corners of his mouth hooked up into a sinister smile. He snorted coldly, turned around, and walked away.
There was no wind in the courtyard, but a small sapling was swaying left and right. A cloud of white smoke wrapped around the sapling. When the white smoke dissipated, a beautiful woman with green hair and green clothes stood where the sapling had been. At this time, the sapling had disappeared.
The woman raised her index and middle fingers, tightly holding a green leaf, and brought it to her mouth. Her You's beautiful voice came from the air. "Zhiqing, Zhiming, follow him. Don't lose him. This is — Young Master's order!"
When she said the two words "Young Master", the woman's voice was full of tenderness. She looked in the direction where Koto and the others had left, and her eyes were soft. Another cloud of white smoke floated by, and the woman had disappeared, leaving only the sapling standing there quietly.
