Chapter 93 Travels (7)
"Senior Sister—"
Upon hearing Su Wusi's voice, Luo's watery eyes flashed with a hint of joy.
Upon seeing who it was, Luo Zai Shui's lips unconsciously curled up a little more: "Why are you here?"
Su Wusi landed in front of Luo Zaishui, took her hand, and gently shook it: "Naturally, it's because we miss Senior Sister. Senior Sister hasn't been back to Xianyun Peak for so long."
Luo Zai Shui raised an eyebrow and looked at Shi Ming. Shi Ming cleared his throat and said somewhat awkwardly, "Junior Sister, it has indeed been a long time since we last met."
Ye Xiao offered a greeting as a peer: "Junior Sister Luo, it's been a long time. You've already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Would you like to spar sometime?"
Ji Tinghan stood obediently behind Luo Zaishui, muttering a complaint: "Senior sister, you've been gone for so long and haven't sent me many letters. I'm so worried about you."
Luo Zai Shui cleared his throat. Three years had passed since they last met. The little boy had grown into a tall, handsome young man, with a straight posture and a dashing appearance. Yet, when he spoke, he still retained the same mischievous spirit as before.
This was also due to her lack of consideration. When reporting the message to Xianyun Peak, she took the convenience of sending it only to Xie Jing. Whether he knew about it or not was another matter.
During this period, Ji Tinghan and the others did send letters, but Luo Zaishui would only remember to reply after they sent them.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Luo Zai Shui patted Ji Ting Han on the shoulder: "I'll bring you out again when there's a chance."
Ji Tinghan's eyes brightened slightly. Luo Zai Shui met the other resentful gazes, but with her strong mental fortitude, she endured it. She was joking; if she were to bring them all out of Xianyun Peak, the world would descend into chaos.
Su Wusi gently shook Luo Zai Shui's arm and said pitifully, "Senior Sister..."
Her coquettishness was too much for Luo Zai Shui to handle. She patted Su Wusi's hand and comforted her, "I'll take you with me, I'll take you with me too."
Ye Xiao was stunned. Was this the same Junior Sister Su who had just unleashed her shrewish roar?
Xue Xin followed suit: "Senior sister... are you only taking them? I know, it's because my cultivation is too low and I'm holding you back, that's why you don't want to take me."
Shi Ming seemed to smell the aroma of a thousand-year-old Biluochun tea. Just as she was about to speak, Luo Zai Shui interrupted her.
"Didn't Mu Yi come?"
"Senior sister, I'm here—"
The voice, accompanied by a flying sword with a red trail, pierced the sky, and Luo Zai Shui's eyelids twitched.
"Ahhh—excuse me, excuse me—I can't stop!"
Shi Ming quickly pulled Luo Zai Shui and Su Wu Si aside.
With a loud "boom," the smoke and dust cleared, and two human figures could be vaguely seen.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have believed you."
After Xu Yu was unearthed, she suffered a new injury.
"You said I was slow? Tell me, am I fast or not?!"
Jian Muyi grimaced in pain but still kept arguing.
Luo Zai Shui noticed that his two senior brothers had visibly aged considerably.
Indeed, taking care of children is exhausting.
As a senior sister, I still have to care about my junior brother.
"Mu Yi, are you alright? How come you have so many injuries?"
Aside from the various scrapes and bruises, it's obvious he got into a fight. Of course, the other one wasn't much better off.
To prevent the two injured men from getting hurt again, Zhou Mian and Xue Xin used all their skills to separate them, thus successfully creating a feud between them.
The world is finally peaceful without these two clowns.
"Senior Brother, besides you, no other sects or aristocratic families sent anyone?"
Looking at the sparse group of people, Luo Zai Shui felt somewhat worried, fearing that a tough battle might be brewing in the future.
"We sent letters to Linghai Sect, Huayu Sect, and Yejin Sect, but we haven't received any replies. As for the aristocratic families, I'm afraid they won't send anyone either."
Ye Xiao frowned. It seemed that the situation was indeed worse than they had thought. He wondered if the other sects would come to their aid.
Luo Zai Shui sighed: "Ling Hai Zong probably won't be coming."
As soon as they finished speaking, a golden array appeared in front of them.
"Who said we wouldn't come?"
Luo Zai Shui raised an eyebrow. Behind Chu Ye Li stood Nie Xu Shuang, Sun Heng, and others.
She joked, "Wow, that's quite a generous gesture, Senior Brother Chu."
This massive teleportation array, capable of transporting nearly a thousand people, was put into use without hesitation; it was truly a grand undertaking.
"If you don't hurry up, I won't hear you talking badly about me behind my back."
Chu Yeli ignored him, flicked her sleeves, and stood next to Shi Ming: "Looks like almost everyone's here?"
Shi Ming looked around and said, "Pretty much. Once the other sects and families know that the five major sects have taken action, they will probably follow suit. It's just a matter of time."
Luo patted the non-existent dust off his hands: "It's not good to talk standing here. Let's go inside and talk."
Su Wusi, Ji Tinghan, Zhou Mian, Qiao An, and others were left outside to settle the outer disciples, while Luo Zaishui and the others began a long-awaited personal disciple meeting.
Chu Yeli skillfully set up the soundproof array, casually found a place to sit down, and said, "Tell me, what's the situation now? I'm afraid the number of people we brought isn't enough."
Luo Zai Shui sighed: "We can't back down even if it's not enough. If we give in to Japan, all the surrounding small towns will suffer. What's the situation on the mainland right now? The Demon Clan is making such a big commotion, but we haven't seen any nearby sects or families come to our aid."
Nie Xushuang rubbed her temples: "You may not know this because you've been traveling around for so long, but the Wen family tricked the sect leaders and elders of the sects and aristocratic families into going there under the pretense of a meeting, but in reality, they were placed under house arrest. The elders dared not make any rash moves. Even after the incident with the demons, the Wen family did not release them. The elders are still at an impasse and will not allow us to make any moves. If Chu Yeli hadn't come looking for us, we might still be inside the sect."
Sun Heng nodded: "Our elders said we can't be the first to stick our necks out. If the Wen family targets us, they'll be the first to attack us, and the Metallurgical Sect will be left isolated and helpless."
Sun Yuan slammed his fist on the table: "Damn it! They're not fighting the demons. I don't know what tricks the Wen family is playing. Once the demons invade, the Wen family will be out of the picture."
Chu Yeli rubbed his temples: "We were the same. The elders forbade us to act rashly. I only realized that things were not simple after receiving Ye Xiao's telepathic message, so I secretly led people out."
Nie Xushuang raised an eyebrow and teased, "You brought quite a few people with you."
Luo Zai Shui's eyes darkened when he saw the people from Linghai Sect: "Logically speaking, if there's unrest on the border, Linghai Sect should be the first to act. What's going on this time?"
Chu Yeli had a headache: "What else could it be? The Wen family is pressuring my master to stop him from taking action. If my master doesn't go, I can't take anyone with me. If the Wen family finds out, Linghai Sect will also suffer endless troubles."
Sun Yuan angrily slammed his fist against the wall: "Are you all so afraid of death?"
In an instant, all eyes fell on Sun Yuan, who remained unfazed: "What? Did I hit the nail on the head?"
Nie Xushuang sighed: "It's not that they're all afraid of death, it's that they're all afraid of being isolated and helpless. Isn't the Metallurgical Sect afraid too?"
An eerie silence fell over the room.
No one can guarantee that those present will lend a helping hand when tomorrow comes.
Luo Zai Shui forced a smile: "Alright, at least everyone's here now, so we won't be left isolated and helpless."
Chu Yeli bluntly poured cold water on the idea: "Yeah, we're all here now. It's either die together or we desert."
Sun Yuan glared at him angrily: "What kind of deserter are you? You're already here, do you think you can escape? If you escape, none of us will look down on you."
Chu Yeli smiled and said, "Now that I'm here, I'm not going to run away. Come on, everyone, our lives are tied together again. Let's try our best to survive this crisis."
