Chapter 482 Shu, you didn’t lie to me, right?
"Xiaoxi, actually..."
Wei Xiaoxi listened carefully to Xiao Mo's every word. He suddenly paused. Wei Xiaoxi turned her head in surprise: "Actually what?"
Xiao Mo wanted to say: It has nothing to do with you that I ended up in this situation.
But Wei Xiaoxi was not a fool, she could tell that he just wanted to comfort her.
Saying this is no comfort at all.
The words rolled around on the tip of his tongue, and Xiao Mo whispered:
"The Second Elder's lineage has always been dissatisfied with me because they thought I could enter Tianshui Peak to practice and surpass his grandson. In Jinchuan's pursuit this time, the Second Elder put in as much effort as anyone else."
Therefore, my situation is not entirely caused by you, do you understand?
Wei Xiaoxi naturally understood.
This is care and care from a good friend.
In the morning mist.
Xiao Mo was dressed in gray and black coarse cloth, and there were even scratches on his elbows and knees, which were stained with mud and dust. There were a few blood stains on the front, and his hair was slightly messy. He was not as meticulous as before.
He no longer looks like the elegant young man wearing a jade crown.
His eyes are beautiful, clear in black and white, and full of sincere friendship.
Even if a pearl falls into the dust, it is still a pearl.
His temperament is like warm and genial water, soothing the hearts of those around him.
Wei Xiaoxi almost shed tears.
She turned her face sideways, looked at the rippling sea, and softly followed Xiao Mo's words: "The strife within the aristocratic family is indeed terrifying."
Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."
A touch of warmth circulated between the friends, and neither of them was willing to break the tranquility of this moment.
Wei Xiaoxi was not nostalgic, she also wanted to know more important information.
She asked softly: "Brother Xing, what's going on?"
Xiao Mo also supported the railing, stared at the dark sea, and said slowly:
"The Xiao family has declined, and Jianjiu Daojun is no longer a threat, but he has followed suit like crazy and aimed his spearhead at Baicao Peak."
Wei Xiaoxi's brows jumped: "Jian Jiu attacked Wan Daozong's money bag?"
"Yes." Xiao Mo nodded.
Because of the seeds Wei Xiaoxi left behind, Baicao Peak's alchemy method gradually developed from manual to semi-automatic operation using formations.
"Maybe Jianjiu thinks that this way, any alchemist can come and control it." Xiao Mo speculated, "In addition, Jianjiu and Baicao have always been at odds with each other..."
"Jian Jiu is the sect leader. He proved his ability by overthrowing the Xiao family. Many sects from big and small families are willing to cooperate with him or simply obey him."
"Baicao Peak is gradually unable to bear it anymore, so Lord Baicao has no choice but to leave Wandao Sect."
Wei Xiaoxi's eyes darkened: "Jianjiu didn't let them leave, so he wants to eradicate the roots?"
"Maybe he really wants to do this, but he doesn't dare to do it openly." Xiao Mo shook his head.
"How could Brother Xing..."
"Baicao Daojun and the three major disciples have indeed left, but Luo Xing..." At this point, he stopped talking.
For some reason, Wei Xiaoxi felt panicked and asked anxiously: "Brother Xing, why did he stay?"
Xiao Mo didn't look at Wei Xiaoxi, lowered his eyes and whispered: "I don't know."
"I don't know?" Wei Xiaoxi was shocked.
Xiao Mo lowered his eyelids and nodded gently: "Yes, I don't know."
Wei Xiaoxi stared at him for a while, nodded slightly, and asked, "When did something happen to him?"
"Lunar New Year's eve."
Lunar New Year's eve……
A happy reunion day.
He fell off a cliff, leaving no trace of his body.
Wei Xiaoxi covered her brows and murmured: "It's my fault."
Xiao Mo was startled, thinking she really knew the reason.
On second thought, it was impossible.
If she had already contacted Xue Jin and others, it would be impossible for her not to know the situation on Three Realms Island in the past six months.
Xiao Mo asked cautiously: "Xiaoxi, you..."
"I should have taken him with me when I went to sea that day. I asked him to wait for me to come back at Sanjie Island...if...if I had taken him with me that day, he wouldn't..."
Die, or have his soul captured by Li Xiangming.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and water leaked from between her fingers, snaking along the roots of her palms, wetting her cuffs little by little.
Xiao Mo felt very sad.
After a long while, he whispered: "If...if you had taken Luo Xing away, you would not have returned to Three Realms Island at this time, then the one who got into trouble...would be me."
Wei Xiaoxi was stunned, raised her head suddenly, and met Xiao Mo's sad eyes.
"Xiao Xi, the disaster was caused by Li Xiangming. Her mistake...don't blame it on yourself."
Wei Xiaoxi said nothing, but her eyes were filled with self-blame and pain.
Xiao Mo changed the subject: "As soon as Xue Jin saw that Jianjiu Peak was gaining power, he persuaded Bai Cong and Lu He to travel together to avoid Li Xiangming's sharp edge."
Xue Jin was very smart and knew Li Xiangming's temperament well. He said he was going out for training, but in fact he was just going to avoid disaster and watch.
Later Xiao Mo also learned that Xue Jin planned to go to the First Continent to join Wei Xiaoxi after the port opened to sea.
Even if something happens to Wei Xiaoxi... Xue Jin said that he would make a comeback by relying on the meager connections he accumulated in the ancient Buddhist secret realm.
"In the early days, I relied on some channels arranged by Xue Jin to successfully escape Jinchuan's pursuit several times." Xiao Mo said,
"But then all my things were gone and I couldn't contact him after several attempts. Master and I sneaked into Beigang City quietly, hoping to wait for more than a month to open the sea and go to the First Continent."
A few words hide a lot of sadness and suffering.
"Xue Jin is well-informed and shrewd. He won't get into trouble easily. Don't worry too much."
Feeling the unresponsive communication talisman in the storage ring, Wei Xiaoxi nodded tiredly.
I hope it will be as Xiao Mo said.
They chatted intermittently and arrived at an unknown island two hours later.
It's not the one where Wei and Qian stayed.
Qianshu donated his cabin to accommodate Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mozheng agreed to let Yunze Daojun live, but the latter refused.
A cabin is not enough to live in.
The Xiao family had almost recovered, and some of them went to the woods to get wood to prepare for building new houses.
Wei Xiaoxi said to Xiao Mo: "Li Xiangming is crazy and can mobilize a lot of power. How about you stay here for a while and wait for the right time to go back?"
Xiao Mo had no objection: "Okay, thank you Xiaoxi."
Wei Xiaoxi waved her hand, guilt and sadness flashed across her face.
Xiao Mo patted her shoulder and changed the topic: "When are you leaving?"
Wei Xiaoxi looked back at Qianshu, who was waiting not far away, and said to Xiao Mo, "Immediately."
"Take care of yourself."
"You have a good rest, we will be back soon."
"Ah."
After saying goodbye to Xiao Mo, Wei and Qian stepped onto the deck again and returned to Three Realms Island.
The gray figure waving to her on the bank gradually faded away. Wei Xiaoxi looked away and looked at Qianshu: "Luo Xing is really not dead. You didn't lie to me, right?"
Before going to the island, Qian Shu just finished interrogating Jinchuan.
He said it at that time.
Later, Xiao Mo and others were accommodated, and there was no in-depth chat for the time being.
Qianshu nodded: "I won't lie to you."
He meant something.
Wei Xiaoxi did not answer, and just asked: "Qianshu, you said... can a monk who has not yet cultivated a human soul be able to seize the body?"
