It was probably because Xie Wanyou repeatedly mentioned to him that the sect she was joining now was the Bixiao Dan Sect, which caused Rong Du to feel as if he had been stabbed hard in the heart by a needle when he saw these two words.

Is it a coincidence?

Nothing major has happened in the world of cultivation recently, so why did the Bixiao Alchemy Sect suddenly receive a letter?

Rong Du frowned unconsciously, and another guess appeared in his mind.

Or... is it really as Xie Wanyou said, that she is indeed "Xie Wan", the young disciple of the Bixiao Sect Master?

Rong Du quickly rejected this idea.

The incident happened suddenly. Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu took Xie Wanyou out of the Yuankong Secret Realm very quickly. They didn't meet anyone on the way. There was no reason why the Bixiao Dan Sect would know Xie Wanyou's whereabouts.

Of course, Xie Wanyou can also contact the Master of Bixiao through the communication talisman, but Xie Wanyou herself also said that her Qiankun bag fell into the Yuankong Secret Realm, and the communication talisman should also be in the Qiankun bag.

...Otherwise, she would not have been able to produce even a single piece of evidence when he asked her to prove that she was a disciple of Bixiao.

Otherwise, she could have taken out the communication talisman and let herself talk directly to the Master of Bixiao.

A paradox arises here.

If Xie Wanyou can contact the Bixiao Dan Sect, then why doesn't she let herself talk to Sect Leader Shen?

If Xie Wanyou couldn't contact the Bixiao Alchemy Sect, how did the Bixiao Alchemy Sect know about Xie Wanyou's movements?

Rong Du couldn't understand.

He stared coldly at the letter in his hand, thoughts swirling in his mind, and he didn't move for a long time.

The disciple Xuancang who delivered the letter saw that he was still not reading the letter, and there was a bit of hesitation in his expression. It seemed that it was difficult to make a choice, so he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Uncle Duxuan?"

Only then did Rong Du come back to his senses, lowered his eyes and hummed in a low voice: "I'll look at it later, you go back first."

He hadn't decided yet whether he wanted to read the letter or not.

It's like a box full of uncertainty, and he can't predict the consequences of opening it.

It might just be an ordinary correspondence between two people.

It may also be a personal letter from the Bixiao Sect Leader expressing his intention to take Xie Wanyou away.

It contains infinite unknowns.

Rong Du actually started to be afraid of this unknown.

If it's the latter, how should he deal with it?

It's absolutely impossible for him... to let anyone take Xie Wanyou away.

You've already made a mistake once, do you want to make a mistake again?

After letting Wei Manzhou take Xie Wanyou away, wasn't what happened to Xie Wanyou enough to wake him up?

There seemed to be a voice in his heart echoing him:

Yes, keeping her in Xuancang Sword Sect is the best arrangement.

She is still a fledgling and possesses ice spiritual roots, just like a little lamb carrying a huge treasure. The world of cultivation is now surrounded by wolves. If she is allowed to leave the protection of Xuancang Sword Sect, she will die.

What is the use of refining alchemy? If she encounters absolute force, will she be able to resist and be able to protect herself?

The voice continued to confuse:

Throw away this letter and pretend nothing happened.

The Xuancang Sword Sect has a barrier, and even if the Bixiao Dan Sect asks you for a disciple afterwards, they won't be able to get in.

When Xie Wanyou succeeds in her cultivation and is able to deal with all malicious intentions, it will not be too late to release her.

You are right, you just don't want the tragedy to happen again, you are doing it all for the good of your little apprentice.

She is still young now, so she will inevitably blame you, but so what? When she reaches perfection, she will definitely understand your painstaking efforts.

Doesn't Master Bixiao know that Xie Wanyou possesses the Ice Spirit Root? He only wants to accept a talented disciple, but does not consider Xie Wanyou's safety. He is really too selfish.

You are right...you are the one who truly considers Xie Wanyou...just do that...

As those words continued to fall, Rong Du pursed his lips and his eyelids turned abnormally red.

He stared at the letter in his hand.

Do you want to throw it away and pretend nothing happened?

If Master Bixiao really loves his young apprentice, he will definitely understand him.

Rong Du was thinking this and heard the Xuancang disciple's embarrassed reply: "No, Master, that Bixiao disciple is still down the mountain waiting for your reply. It seems that this matter is quite urgent..."

Rong Du's face inevitably became uglier.

What is so urgent?

Perhaps he thought wrongly. The Bixiao Dan Sect only sent him a message after discovering some abnormality in the world of cultivation.

Take it apart or throw it away?

Rong Du closed his eyes and suppressed the evil thoughts in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, he handed the letter to the Xuancang disciple and said coldly: "Read it for me."

"Ah?" The Xuancang disciple was a little puzzled, but he honestly stretched out his hand to the letter in his hand.

But when he was about to touch the letter, his Uncle Duxuan suddenly regretted it and quickly retracted his hand.

Disciple Xuancang: "???"

Rong Du's breathing became a little faster, and a vein appeared on his forehead. He forced himself to say, "Please invite the Bixiao disciple up the mountain first. I need some time to reply." Then he hurriedly entered the hall with the letter.

.

With a "bang" sound, the door of the main hall suddenly closed in front of Xuancang disciples who didn't know why.

While he was puzzled, the disciple was also a little worried.

There was something wrong with Uncle Master's expression just now. Could it be that he had an outbreak of rubella...

He felt a little guilty.

Because before he came here, he actually secretly peeped at the little spirit beast raised by Xie Wanyou.

I can't help it, it's really too cute, and she's acting like a baby with him... A swordsman like him who has never had close contact with a spiritual beast cub can't help it.

But he had clearly used the dust-removing technique to clean his entire body, so how could he still cause his uncle to fall ill?

In the past, when Master Duxuan got sick, it was Master Xuanming who treated him. He was really worried, so he went to Mingxin Peak where Master Xuanming was, planning to ask Master Xuanming to come over and take a look.

As soon as he arrived at Mingxin Peak, he happened to meet Uncle Xuanming's second apprentice, Xiang Junze.

Seeing that there was no one else around, he hurriedly approached him: "Junior Brother Xiang, is Uncle Xuanming here?"

Xiang Junze was drying some medicinal materials. Seeing how anxious he was, he also showed a nervous expression: "What's wrong, Senior Brother Jiang? Is it Senior Uncle Duxuan who has rubella again?"

Jiang Chukai: "I don't know, but it seems to be quite serious. Uncle Xuanming..."

"Master has gone out. I don't know when he will come back." Xiang Junze wiped his hands and walked out from behind the medicine shelf quickly, speaking quickly: "How about I go over and have a look first? I used to talk to Master

Let’s treat Uncle Tuxuan’s rubella together, and he still has some medicine on him.”

Jiang Chukai nodded immediately: "Then you go first, I'll go find Uncle Xuan Ming right away!"

After responding to Junze, Jiang Chukai immediately turned around and Yu Jian was about to leave.

At this moment, a hand patted his left shoulder: "By the way, Senior Brother Jiang, I have something else to tell you."

Jiang Chukai turned around in confusion and saw Junior Brother Xiang grinning at him.

…

Rong Du stumbled into the door, clutching the letter, almost staggering and kneeling on the futon.

He knew that his current state was not right, so he forced himself to meditate, trying to use Xuancang's mental skills to resist the malice emanating from deep within.

But just like many times before, the visions that followed one after another gripped his mind and pulled him down.

He saw himself lying on the edge of the bottomless abyss, holding on to a pale wrist in his hand. The fishy wind mixed with the putrid smell blew past his face. He heard the sound of monsters coming from below the abyss.

A low growl ready to move.

He knew that if he let that person fall into the abyss, the countless monsters below would definitely eat him in an instant.

He must never let go...never...

But no matter how hard he tried to stay, he could only watch the destined ending happen again before his eyes.

The owner of his hand was slipping away little by little, and he couldn't hold on to that person even with all his strength.

The stone beneath them began to shake continuously, as if it would break in the next second, causing the two of them to fall together.

The man smiled and said, "Relax."

He is not loose.

The man stretched out his other blood-stained hand and opened his wrists one by one.

That scene seemed familiar.

In a daze, he saw that he had also held Xie Wanyou's hand tightly, trying to pull her back to the sect.
To be continued...
