Chapter 372 It's Too Late to Hide
Qin Wanzhuang put down her teacup.
"Quarrel."
They both looked at her at the same time.
Qin Wanzhuang said, "If you keep making noise, we'll go to the training ground."
Jin Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow.
"Am I afraid of you?"
Lin Miaoyin gently stroked the pipa.
"The training ground is very dusty."
Qin Wanzhuang glanced at her.
"Then shut up."
Mo Chengyue quietly moved the teacup closer to himself.
Drinking tea at this time makes it seem like you're very busy.
Jin Qiaoqiao suddenly turned to him.
"Who do you think is right?"
Mo Chengyue's hand stopped at the rim of the cup.
Here comes the potentially disastrous question.
Lin Miaoyin asked with a smile, "Junior Brother Mo, what do you want to say?"
Qin Wanzhuang was also looking at him.
"answer."
Mo Chengyue pondered for a moment.
"I think Second Senior Sister is right."
Jin Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes.
She said to shut up.
Mo Chengyue nodded.
"Yes, everyone should talk less and focus on health."
Lin Miaoyin chuckled softly.
"Slippery."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "It's acceptable."
Jin Qiaoqiao snorted, "You're lucky to be alive."
Mo Chengyue picked up his teacup and took a sip.
The tea has gone cold.
But it saves lives.
In the distance, outer disciples carrying boxes passed by, their footsteps very light, but they still couldn't help but steal a glance.
A round-faced disciple whispered, "Isn't that Senior Brother Mo?"
Another tall, thin disciple said in a low voice, "Don't look, you'll be silenced."
The round-faced disciple asked, "Why are there so many fairies sitting outside Senior Brother Mo's cave?"
The tall, thin disciple said, "You're asking me? Who should I ask?"
The third disciple held the scroll, his face full of reverence.
"I heard that Senior Brother Mo is on duty in the Sutra Repository, cultivating tranquility and self-discipline."
The round-faced disciple glanced at the three stunning beauties beside the stone table.
"If he could calm his mind, the Buddhist community should invite him to give sermons."
Mo Chengyue had excellent hearing, and his temples twitched at the sound.
Lin Miaoyin heard it too, and laughed so hard her shoulders swayed slightly.
Jin Qiaoqiao raised her hand, and a peacock feather flew out and gently landed in front of the three disciples.
The three of them stood up straight on the spot.
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "Put the box away properly, and keep your mouth shut too."
The round-faced disciple quickly replied, "This disciple didn't see anything."
The tall, thin disciple said, "I'm just moving boxes."
The third disciple said, "I was born hard of hearing."
Mo Chengyue looked at him with admiration.
This junior has potential.
Lin Miaoyin said slowly, "If any strange rumors spread in the sect tomorrow, I will come to you to play music."
The three disciples turned pale.
Qin Wanzhuang added a sentence.
"I will examine the sword."
The three of them carried the box and left quickly.
Mo Chengyue sighed, "Everyone, Qingquan Peak's reputation has never been very stable to begin with."
Lin Miaoyin said, "It's more stable now."
Mo Chengyue asked, "Where is the stability?"
Lin Miaoyin said, "It'll be a steady, lively affair."
Jin Qiaoqiao looked at the stone door of his cave.
How badly are you injured?
Mo Chengyue said, "There's no major problem now."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "Extend your hand."
Mo Chengyue hesitated.
"Is Second Senior Sister also being investigated?"
Qin Wanzhuang said, "Enough with the nonsense."
Mo Chengyue put his hand over.
Qin Wanzhuang placed two fingers on his wrist, and her Blazing Sun True Essence probed along his meridians before withdrawing it a moment later.
"If the cracks in the meridians are not fully healed, the spirit and soul will also be weakened."
Jin Qiaoqiao's face darkened.
How is Leng Yuexin being taken care of?
Mo Chengyue hurriedly replied, "She gave me medicine and treated me."
Lin Miaoyin looked at him.
"You're speaking up for her."
Mo Chengyue said, "Facts are facts, and jealousy is jealousy."
There was a moment of silence around the stone table.
Mo Chengyue immediately tried to press his tongue back in.
Jin Qiaoqiao's eyes were dangerous.
"Who are you calling jealous?"
Lin Miaoyin laughed and said, "Junior Brother Mo, you've gotten quite bold."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "You've offended my ears."
Mo Chengyue raised his hand to admit his mistake.
"A slip of the tongue."
Jin Qiaoqiao got within half an inch.
Say it again.
Mo Chengyue said, "Concern is one thing, facts are another."
Lin Miaoyin nodded in satisfaction.
"That's more like it."
Qin Wanzhuang took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and placed it in front of him.
"Take one Soul Nourishing Pill before bed."
Jin Qiaoqiao also took out a golden feather talisman.
"This talisman carries the secrets of the Peacock Clan. If someone uses soul magic to find you, it can block it for you once."
Lin Miaoyin pulled out a purple talisman from the bottom of the pipa.
"This is a Tranquilizing Talisman from the old storehouse of Zizhu Peak. Don't mind that it's old."
Mo Chengyue looked at the three items on the table, his fingertips pausing on the rim of the cup.
He has never liked being in debt.
But if we refuse what's before us, the stone table might become an execution platform tonight.
Mo Chengyue put the things away and respectfully bowed.
Thank you.
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "Don't just say thank you."
Mo Chengyue asked, "Then what else do you need?"
Lin Miaoyin looked at him with a smile.
What do you think?
Mo Chengyue immediately looked at Qin Wanzhuang.
"Second Senior Sister, please do something about this."
Qin Wanzhuang stood up.
"Go back and recover."
Mo Chengyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Wanzhuang added, "I will check your homework tomorrow."
Mo Chengyue's face fell.
"Senior sister, I'm wounded."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "Even the wounded need to cultivate."
Jin Qiaoqiao stood up, her skirt sweeping across the stone steps.
"I will set up a layer of demonic guards in the attic tonight. If there is any movement in your cave, I will know."
Lin Miaoyin picked up her pipa and stepped barefoot onto the wooden corridor.
"I also have a sound array on my end, so if you sneak out at night, I'll hear you."
Mo Chengyue looked at them, silently gazing up at the sky.
The defenses of Qingquanfeng have been upgraded.
The main target of our defense is him.
Qin Wanzhuang walked to the entrance of the cave and looked back at him.
"Mo Chengyue".
Mo Chengyue asked, "Senior Sister?"
Qin Wanzhuang said, "Don't swallow all the trouble yourself."
Jin Qiaoqiao crossed her arms.
"If you keep messing with people like this behind my back, I'll beat you up first, then help you."
Lin Miaoyin plucked a string.
"I don't have as good a temper as they do, but I keep accounts."
As Mo Chengyue observed the different expressions on the three men's faces, the banter that had been escaping his lips slowly dissipated.
The night breeze rustled through the ironwood trees, and the purple gauze lamps swayed gently.
He whispered, "I understand."
Jin Qiaoqiao frowned.
"Perfunctory."
Mo Chengyue looked up.
"This time it's for real."
Lin Miaoyin stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"Then I'll trust you this once."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "Let's go back to the cave."
Mo Chengyue nodded, turned around and pushed open the stone door.
Just as the door was about to close, Lin Miaoyin's voice came from outside.
"By the way, Junior Brother Mo."
Mo Chengyue poked his head out.
"Is there anything else?"
Lin Miaoyin smiled gently.
"The news that I've moved into Qingquan Peak will probably spread throughout the sect by tomorrow."
Mo Chengyue's heart tightened.
Jin Qiaoqiao added insult to injury.
"The news that the person from Ice Soul Peak personally brought you back will also spread."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "Junior Sister of the Scripture Pavilion should have already memorized it."
Mo Chengyue leaned against the stone gate, his expression serene.
"Is it too late for me to go into seclusion now?"
The three women looked at him at the same time.
Lin Miaoyin said, "It's too late."
Jin Qiaoqiao said, "Don't even think about hiding."
Qin Wanzhuang said, "I'll practice swordsmanship tomorrow morning."
Mo Chengyue slowly closed the stone door.
The night at Qingquan Peak finally quieted down.
Inside the cave, he sat down against the door, looked at the pill bottle, talisman, and golden feather talisman in his arms, and sighed deeply.
The worst thing for working people is having meetings after get off work.
The cultivation world is even more ruthless.
After the meeting, they'll arrange accommodation for you, security patrols, and training for you tomorrow morning.
