In the pitch-black darkness, a youth dressed in black coughed out a mouthful of blood as he lay down in the snow and ice. His face was dark and pale.
He looked at the cloudless sky and the crescent moon that would only appear in the night. His ice-green eyes shone like glazed water as they sank into the darkness.
"Master …" A bird that was flying through the air fell down, turning into a forty year old middle-aged man.
The black-clothed youth stretched out his hand and touched the blood on the corner of his lips. His face was as pale as a finger made of snow. In the snowy night, he was almost buried under the pure white snow.
"He's getting bitten back …" He chuckled softly. His ice-green eyes seemed to have found something good. They radiated a frightening, ominous light. "So fast, they're going to backfire …"
"Master!" The middle-aged man kneeled down towards him and said loudly, "It should be time to bring it back. Master, you can't wait any longer, the Moon Sacrifice Ceremony is in a few months and you will become a respected High Lord. You can't be so careless anymore … "Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" The black-clothed youth's eyes slanted as he stared at him, his gaze as cold as a glacier that would never melt. "Otherwise, can't I intimidate those trash?!"
"Master …" The middle-aged man still wanted to persuade him, but the youth in black waved his hand, unwilling to say more. "Go down, before I get angry."
The middle-aged man looked at him worriedly. Gritting his teeth, he turned into a nimble bird and flew into the darkness.
The black-clothed youth raised his hand and caressed the peaceful moonlight. His thin and cold lips formed a mysterious smile, "How about letting me go? So what if there's a backlash? " They were just meaningless things.
This time, she probably wouldn't return here. She didn't bid farewell to the birds and didn't go to see Yu Qingzhu again. Instead, after the original scene with Mo Zi, she stepped on his sword and left without looking back.
Mo Ziyuan had chatted and laughed with her along the way, acting like a good senior. No matter how troubled Gu Hua Wei Wei was, he still had a good impression of this youth.
"That's Mo Xie peak." Mo Zi Yuan stood on his long sword and pointed at the numerous peaks in the Cloud Sect. It was comparable to the main peak of the Sect Leader. He smiled and asked, "Isn't it beautiful?"
Gu Hua looked carefully and discovered that the summit of this mountain was actually shrouded in mist, and there were all sorts of wild flowers blooming between the mountains. This wild flower could not be identified by name, but was instead multi-colored.
"So beautiful." Gu Hua slightly nodded her head in agreement. Compared to the main peak and the Jade Bamboo Peak of the Crescent Moon Peak, Mo Xie's peak was much more beautiful.
Pill forging was different from focusing on cultivation.
"As long as you like it." Seeing that Gu Hua Wei Wei finally didn't come out from the ruins, Mo Zi Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that this clever little Junior Sister would have something on her mind.
Everyone said that Hui Ji would definitely be injured. Perhaps this Junior Martial Sister of his, the Sect Leader and Master, hadn't noticed her eyes, but he had clearly seen them. He couldn't clearly see what was hidden in Gu Hua's eyes.
He had a premonition about the entire truth of the Heaven and Earth Mirror. He was slightly aware of the truth. As for why he did not cry or feel wronged, other than … And what can be explained.
He only hoped that she would be able to see a little more clearly.
The long sword quickly stopped in front of the Mo Xie Peak's main hall. Mo Zi Yuan pulled Gu Hua Wei's hand and nodded to the disciple guarding the entrance, then pulled Gu Hua along as they headed towards the Mo Xie Peak's main hall.
Along the way, many figures of pharmacist walked past Gu Hua Wei Wei. When they saw Mo Zi Yuan bowing and giving Gu Hua Wei curious looks, Gu Hua walked past them without even looking back.
She would no longer be able to see herself as she wished.
Mo Ziyuan very quickly brought her to the main hall of the Jindan Stage. Gu Hua Wei looked at the main hall, which was taller than the Jade Bamboo Peak by more than one grade, and felt that his status and value were already long.
The Jindan Stage Elder's yard was different from Yu Qingzhu's. The Jindan Stage Elder's yard was simple and generous, filled with the grace of a woman, and the Jindan Stage Elder's yard was filled with the fragrance of herbs and herbs.
"Master, please stay here." Mo Ziyuan led her to a room in the courtyard, knocked on the door, and the Jindan Stage Elder appeared in front of Gu Hua Wei. He was still dressed like when he was at the main mountain, but there was no smile on his face.
"Come in." Towards Gu Hua Wei Wei, the little fellow whom he had his eyes on from the start, the Jindan Stage Elder was quite amiable.
Mo Zi Yuan held Gu Hua Wei Wei's hand and was about to enter, but the Jindan Stage Elder's eyes fell on him, "Zi Yuan is waiting outside."
Mo Ziyuan glanced at Gu Hua Wei, who looked calm, and left. He reached out his hand to close the door, leaving behind only the window in the room.
Gu Hua quietly stood where she was, looking at the Jindan Stage Elder who was already seated on a chair, staring at her. She did not intend to speak.
The Jindan Stage Elder saw that she wasn't sad nor happy, so he didn't make things difficult for her. He said, "Since I agreed to be your last disciple in front of the Sect Leader, then in the future you will be my disciple, Zi Yuan's Junior-apprentice Sister."
Gu Hua nodded slightly, "Alright."
When the Jindan Stage Elder saw that she was still as impassive as before, a trace of selfish anger flashed across her round face. "Since you've already agreed, why aren't you going to pay me your respects?"
So this was what he was waiting for …
Gu Hua lightly lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt on the ground. She respectfully saluted the Jindan Stage Elder and said, "Disciple Gu Hua lightly greets Master."
The Jindan Stage Elder looked at him with disdain. "Why isn't there even a cup of hot tea?"
Gu Hua was stunned. She quickly got up and poured a cup of green tea from the teapot on the table into her hands. She saluted again and handed the tea to Elder Jindan. "Please have some tea, Master."
The Jindan Stage Elder beamed as he received the tea. He chuckled and took a sip: "You've already performed an official disciple ceremony to me, and in the future, you'll be the eldest senior sister of my Mo Xie Peak. Only Zi Yuan and I can call you here, and the rest of you, if you need anything, they'll be your followers."
Gu Hua calmly shook her head, "I don't need a follower."
The Jindan Stage Elder expressed his understanding towards this young lady's old-fashioned ways. After all, she had come here from the Discarded Firewood Road step by step. "Then you can order them about as you please, and they will not have a single trace of disrespect towards you. This place is not Jade Bamboo Peak, nor is it a place where you don't belong where you can do whatever you want."
Gu Hua's heart thumped. Indeed, she needed the freedom to not be disturbed. But that freedom came too late.
She could no longer completely trust him.
