Join the ServerSong Zhiyou almost couldn’t stop herself from rushing up to ask Yuhengzi.
How was she neither good nor evil? How was she extremely dangerous?
But in the end, Song Zhiyou held back.
Song Qingyao couldn’t hold back. “Elder, this… the white-robed… senior, didn’t she save you? Why do you say she’s neither good nor evil?”
Yuhengzi’s gaze fell on the two naive girls. She sighed and still explained.
“Before I lost consciousness, I vaguely heard that the white-robed senior let that evil cultivator go.”
“She clearly had the ability to kill that black-robed evil cultivator on the spot, but because she was in a good mood today, she let him go. From this, it can be seen that this senior acts entirely on her whims, with no distinction between good and evil in her heart.”
“If you two ever encounter such a person in the future, you must stay far away.”
Song Qingyao’s gaze involuntarily fell on Song Zhiyou, then she silently looked away.
“I understand, Elder. I will definitely stay far away from such people in the future.”
Yuhengzi nodded in satisfaction. Although the children were still a bit naïve, at least they listened to advice.
But now, the most important thing for her was to convey the current situation.
Yuhengzi struggled to stand up, wanting to cast a spell. However, the next second, her whole body collapsed to the ground.
Her injuries were too severe. Even with the Rejuvenation Pill, it only barely kept her alive.
She could move a little, but if she tried to cast a spell, she would suffer backlash like now.
Yuhengzi’s face turned livid in an instant.
Damn evil cultivator!
But now, she had to get the message out, otherwise those candidates would surely fall victim to that evil cultivator.
Yuhengzi gritted her teeth, trying to force it.
The next second, a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
Her aura became even more feeble.
Song Zhiyou and Song Qingyao quickly stepped forward to support her.
“Elder, are you alright? What do you need to do?”
“Elder, why don’t you rest first?”
A bitter expression appeared on Yuhengzi’s face.
“I must send word of what happened here, otherwise, those children, children…”
As her voice trailed off, Yuhengzi couldn’t hold on any longer. Her head tilted to the side, and she passed out.
Song Zhiyou and Song Qingyao hurriedly helped her lean against a tree.
For a moment, they just stared at each other.
Just then, a weak voice sounded.
“You… are you fellow cultivators? What happened to the elder?”
Hearing this voice, Song Zhiyou was almost startled. She swiftly drew her sword and pointed it behind her.
She saw a young man standing not far behind her, looking at her with a mix of wariness and hope.
But Song Zhiyou’s vigilance did not relax because of the boy’s apparent immaturity.
It was too strange.
Logically, if someone approached her, she should have sensed it.
Yet this young man had come within ten meters of her without her noticing, and Song Qingyao likewise.
Song Zhiyou quickly closed in, pressing her short sword directly against the boy’s neck.
“Who are you? How come you have no sound or presence?”
The young man, seeing the sword at his neck, was on the verge of tears.
“I, I’m a candidate like you! What are you… what are you doing… Could you put down your sword?”
Seeing how defenselessly he exposed his neck, and how he couldn’t even react when she rushed at him, Song Zhiyou believed his words a bit more.
But she still couldn’t let her guard down.
Remembering the latter question she asked, the young man frantically tried to reach into his pocket.
Seeing this, Song Zhiyou’s eyes narrowed, and the sword pressed closer to his neck.
“What are you trying to take?”
The boy’s hands trembled even more.
“I, I really don’t mean anything else… You asked why I got here without any presence, right? It’s because of this, what I’m about to get…”
The more he spoke, the more flustered he became, almost incoherent.
“Alright, then slowly take it out. I’m warning you, don’t try any tricks!”
The boy wanted to cry but had no tears.
Then, bit by bit, he took out an array disk and handed it to Song Zhiyou.
When she saw the array disk, Song Zhiyou’s eyes instantly narrowed.
She was all too familiar with such an array disk!
Just now, if this damned thing hadn’t suddenly malfunctioned, she wouldn’t have been so blatantly exposed to that evil cultivator, nearly dying.
No.
Song Zhiyou’s gaze fell on the array disk again, examining it closely.
She was shocked to find that this array disk was almost identical to the one she bought!
Song Zhiyou snatched the array disk. “Where did you get this?”
The young man was very nervous. “It… it was sold to me by fellow cultivator Yun Mian. It can conceal one’s aura. I’ve been hiding using it until now.”
He didn’t know why seeing the array disk made Song Zhiyou so excited…
What he did know was that he was a bit scared now…
Song Zhiyou gritted her teeth, half-smiling, enunciating each word.
“Fellow cultivator Yun Mian?”
Great, so she even disguised herself as an old man to swindle!
The boy became even more frightened, nodding like a pecking chicken, blurting out everything.
“Yes, yes, fellow cultivator Yun Mian gave me this array disk. No, no, not gave, she lent it to me. But I… I originally wanted to return it to her, but when I went, she was gone, so I so I just kept using it…”
The boy’s eyes welled up with tears.
He had never been so humiliated in his life.
Scared into stammering by this girl…
But she really was scary…
Could it be because he had secretly kept the array disk?
Back then, when he didn’t see Yun Mian at the agreed place, he had indeed been secretly pleased.
He only waited five breaths for Yun Mian before impatiently running off with the array disk.
After that, he unsurprisingly used it to lie low.
The boy wanted to cry even more.
“Cultivator, are you sent by fellow cultivator Yun Mian to take back the array disk? I really didn’t mean it. I was wrong. I’ll return it to you now, okay?”
“Yes, yes, and the overdue rental fee. I don’t have any spirit stones on me now, but I have some magical artifacts. I’ll give them all to you, okay?”
Song Zhiyou put on a standard smile.
“Yes, fellow cultivator, I am here to collect the array disk on behalf of fellow cultivator Yun Mian. Don’t be afraid. I don’t eat people.”
The boy nodded vigorously.
He knew. He didn’t believe it at all.
“Then… can I go now?”
Song Zhiyou looked at him doubtfully. “Didn’t you come to find us?”
