Chapter 175: They Are Inside There
“Master clearly wanted five boys, why did junior sister only bring back four?”
The man named Teng Ziming looked toward his junior sister beside him.
“There was originally another little girl whose cultivation bone structure was indeed quite good, but she was somewhat strange.”
Zixia slowly spoke.
“She could sense my emotions, and when her attention was focused on me, she could even see what I was thinking in my heart. I almost exposed myself at that time.
During that period, I always avoided being alone with her and tried my best to control my emotions and thoughts in my heart, which is how I wasn’t discovered by her.”
“Interesting, being able to see what others are thinking in their hearts, I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
Teng Ziming smiled.
“According to what junior sister says, using such a special little girl as a medicine catalyst would have even better effects, wouldn’t it? No, no, such a little girl would be too valuable to waste as a medicine catalyst. She should be used by our Crimson Sun Sect.”
Teng Ziming looked at her profile, “But none of this should be junior sister’s excuse. Junior sister is at the Dragon Gate realm, while that little girl has no strength to even tie up a chicken. Even if junior sister was exposed, so what?
Is it that junior sister was afraid the little girl would discover something, or is it that junior sister developed compassion and deliberately let her go?”
“Clang!”
As Teng Ziming’s words fell.
The blue-green long sword was already at his throat.
Zixia’s eyes narrowed as she looked coldly at him.
As if Teng Ziming need only say one more word and his head would fall.
“Senior Brother Teng, Senior Sister Zixia…”
Just as the alchemy room fell silent, a disciple knocked on the door.
Zixia lowered the long sword from his throat, forcefully sheathed it, turned around, and continued looking at the alchemy furnace.
“Come in,” Teng Ziming wiped his neck, cleaning off the blood traces.
The outer disciple pushed the door open and bowed, “Senior Sister Zixia, there are two children at the mountain gate who say they want to find you. They call Senior Sister Zixia ‘Sister Zi.’ We didn’t dare neglect this, so we came to inform senior sister.”
“Two children?” Zixia frowned.
“Yes, one is called Xiao Mo, and the other child is called Jiang Xin,” the outer disciple said.
Hearing the words “Jiang Xin,” Zixia’s brow furrowed even deeper.
Teng Ziming glanced at Zixia and spoke first, “These two children are both friends of Zixia. Bring them to the guest peak and treat them well. Don’t neglect them, understand?”
“Yes, senior brother.” The outer disciple quickly withdrew, thinking to himself that it was good he hadn’t found it troublesome to come and report.
Teng Ziming turned to look at Zixia, “I can understand junior sister’s feelings to some extent.
After all, even dogs you’ve raised for years develop feelings, let alone people but junior sister, you’ve already killed so many people. What use is there in sparing this one?
Not to mention that junior sister spared her life, yet she came looking herself. This shows her fate is sealed.
This time, junior sister shouldn’t let her escape. Now that our Crimson Sun Sect has made enemies with the Mountain Ghost Sect, Master must break through to Nascent Soul, otherwise our Crimson Sun Sect will be doomed.”
Teng Ziming patted Zixia’s shoulder and walked out of the alchemy room.
“Junior sister, both you and I have blood on our hands. Don’t put on false mercy there. In the Western Region, if we don’t eat people, others will eat us.”
Teng Ziming’s voice echoed leisurely through the alchemy room.
In the vast alchemy room, only Zixia stood quietly alone, her eyes full of self-loathing.
Xiao Mo and Jiang Xin followed the gate-guarding disciple into Crimson Sun Sect, finally arriving at a small courtyard.
Along the way, Xiao Mo looked left and right.
This was indeed a small sect. Although there were many disciples, there weren’t many who could fly through the air.
However, in this world, most sects were actually like this, with sect masters mostly at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul level.
It was just that in his previous lives, the sects he had contact with were all too high-level, where even Nascent Soul cultivators could only serve as ordinary elders or stewards.
So when seeing this kind of small sect, Xiao Mo was subconsciously a bit unaccustomed but this sect was the same as what he had inquired about, not some demonic sect, and even belonged to the “righteous” type in the Western Region.
“You two young friends can stay here for now,” the outer disciple said politely to Xiao Mo and Jiang Xin. “We’ll bring you some food later.”
“Big brother, where is Sister Zi?” Jiang Xin clasped her small hands in front of her chest and asked nervously, “Can we see Sister Zi?”
“Senior Sister Zixia is currently busy. When she’s free, she should come to see you two young friends,” the outer disciple explained. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Alright, big brother, thank you very much.”
“Little brother is too polite.”
After the outer disciple left, Xiao Mo put down his luggage and tied up the donkey properly.
When walking to this courtyard, Xiao Mo had indirectly inquired about “Sister Zi.”
It turned out that Jiang Xin’s Sister Zi was the direct disciple of Crimson Sun Sect’s sect master, with an extraordinary status.
That’s why this outer disciple was so polite to these two little beggars.
Just as the outer disciple had not been gone long, a female disciple flew to the courtyard, “You two young friends, Senior Sister Zixia requests your presence. Please come with me.”
“Yes, immortal sister,” Xiao Mo quickly nodded, putting on an innocent appearance.
This female disciple brought out a magical artifact, swept up Xiao Mo and Jiang Xin, and flew into the air.
Before long, Xiao Mo and Jiang Xin arrived at a mountaintop where even the mountain breeze carried the fragrance of medicine.
The woman led Xiao Mo and Jiang Xin into a large courtyard.
In front of a large door, the woman bowed and called out, “Senior Sister Zixia, young friend Jiang Xin and the others have been brought here.”
“Let them come in,” a woman’s voice came from inside the room.
Hearing the voice from inside the room, Jiang Xin’s eyes immediately brightened, and her heart couldn’t help but beat faster.
That’s right! This is Sister Zi!
“Please enter, you two,” the female disciple opened the door for them.
After the two walked in, the door closed automatically.
This was an alchemy room.
At the front of the alchemy furnace stood a woman.
“Sister Zi?”
Jiang Xin called out happily and ran forward but after running just a few steps, as if sensing something, Jiang Xin retreated a few steps, her wavering eyes full of confusion and fear, “Sister Zi?”
Zixia turned around and looked coldly at Jiang Xin, “Ah Xin, it’s been a long time.”
“Sister Zi… Xiao Han and the others…” Jiang Xin’s body trembled slightly.
“Xiao Han and the others? Ah Xin, haven’t you already seen what’s in sister’s heart?”
Zixia smiled slightly and looked toward the alchemy furnace behind her.
“They are inside there.”
