Chapter 312: Getting Angry
Xu Chuniang didn’t miss the surprise on Zhao Xing San’s face, but didn’t say anything more.
“I came to see Senior Brother Zhuge.”
Zhao Xing San brought her into the room and spoke softly.
“After using the medicine, Senior Brother Zhuge’s condition has stabilized. It’s just that it injured his heart and Yuan Shen in the end, so I’m afraid he’ll need to recuperate for a while before he can get better.”
As for the issue of the dao heart, he didn’t bother mentioning it.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the person lying on the bed, Zhuge Yun’s originally slightly feminine looks were even softer due to his illness and closed eyes.
She withdrew her gaze and sat on a chair, pouring herself a cup of tea.
Before she came, she pondered over the matter of whether Zhuge Yun had been corrupted by a demonic soul.
But after thinking about it, she felt that it was not.
After all, today in the City Lord’s Mansion, that Xie Changyuan looked like he was beating him to death.
If Zhuge Yun was really infested with a demonic soul, he would be one of their own, so why would he be so hard on him?
On the contrary, the Shangguan Xue …… who lives in the city master’s mansion needs to pay attention to.
Zhuge Yun is seriously injured and needs time to recover, while she is being backstabbed.
If she did not control the demonic soul, in the few months that Zhuge Yun was recovering from his injuries, I am afraid that the Yuan Shen had already been initially eroded by that demonic soul.
What role did Shangguan Xue play in this matter?
Is it ignorant, or has it been eroded by the demonic soul ……
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath, her intuition told her that what was implicated in the City Lord’s Mansion was definitely a shocking secret move.
And now that she was far away from the clan and under the noses of this group of people, she could only hold her ground for the time being.
Waiting for Zhuge Yun to recuperate from his injuries as soon as possible, he would then go up to Wind Weeping Mountain to hunt the Yuan Devouring Beast.
But looking at Zhuge Yun’s appearance like this, there was no telling how long it would take for him to recover.
“Cough ……”
A low cough interrupted the silence in the room, and Zhuge Yun weakly woke up.
Zhao Xing San rushed forward, “Senior brother, how do you feel?”
“Hehe, I’ve let you guys see the joke.”
Zhuge Yun closed his eyes, with a look of unwillingness to say more.
Still being enlightened by Zhao Xing San again and again, he also never said a word, seemingly disheartened.
It seems that this blow is very heavy for him.
Xu Chuniang got up, her gaze landing on Zhuge Yun, “Senior brother Zhao, why don’t you let me talk to senior brother Zhuge alone.”
“Alright, then I’ll go back first.”
Once Zhao Xing San left, only two people remained in the large room.
Feeling the silence around them, Zhuge Yun inexplicably felt a hint of nervousness.
Then he thought somewhat self-deprecatingly, although he had targeted Xu Chuniang, he hadn’t done anything too outrageous.
She should not be so bad as to take advantage of him being sick to take …… revenge, right?
He waited for a long time without seeing Xu Chuniang’s words, and finally spoke softly, “Right now I look like this, are you satisfied?”
“Honestly, not too satisfied. I also thought that you have a few real skills before you agreed to duel with that Xie Changyuan, I didn’t think it was so bad.”
Zhuge Yun choked and stared angrily.
Xu Chuniang didn’t care about his anger and instead raised her eyebrows and smiled.
“Senior brother is too insouciant, just by virtue of you, you are worthy of standing beside Senior Sister Shangguan? What a toad wanting to eat swan meat.”
“You! Cough cough cough ……” Zhuge Yun’s anger churned, provoking a violent low cough, unconsciously clenching his palm into a fist, “How dare you talk about me and call me a ……”
“Toad.”
Xu Chuniang calmly locked eyes with him and spat those three words out, “If it wasn’t that Xie Changyuan didn’t want to go too far and left you alive, where would senior brother have a life to survive right now?”
Zhuge Yun closed his eyes heavily, his chest rising and falling violently, only after a long time did he squeeze out two words through his teeth, “Get out.”
Xu Chuniang, however, did not go, “In fact, I am very curious, senior brother is so sensible and responsible a sword cultivator, why every time he encounters something about Shangguan Xue, he is so …… out of his mind.”
Zhuge Yun’s heart chilled with the feeling that his own secrets were being spied upon.
He forced this feeling down and only said in a deep voice, “You don’t understand.”
“I don’t quite understand, but that day at Wind Weeping Mountain, if we hadn’t encountered Shangguan Xue, I’m afraid that we would have already hunted the Yuan Devouring Beast and returned to the sect.”
Zhuge Yun was silent for a long time, “I will recuperate my injuries as soon as possible and bring you guys to complete the commission as soon as possible.”
“I hope so.”
Xu Chuniang’s face was cold, but in her heart, she sighed darkly.
Originally, she wanted to provoke Zhuge Yun and see if she could try to find out something from him.
But by the looks of it, he didn’t know anything about Shangguan Xue possibly being infected with a demonic soul.
However, Xu Chuniang did not know that after she left the room, the sad, broken feeling on Zhuge Yun’s face disappeared.
There was a flash of hidden worry between his brows, then he rolled over and rose up, his right hand joining his fingers like a knife and slashed his left palm.
Blood gushed out from his palm and fell to the ground, gradually condensing into a miniature spell formation.
And just at the moment when he sent his own divine sense into the spell formation and set it ablaze, somewhere deep within the main peak of the Easy Sect, which was nearly 100,000 miles away from Mixed Yuan City, an extremely large Blood Soul Formation emitted a faint glow.
The guardians of the formation were two Jindan cultivators, so at the first moment, they detected the movement of the Blood Soul Grand Formation.
“It’s Zhuge Yun’s soul lamp that’s lit up, he should be in Mixed Yuan City right now.”
The two looked at each other and both had an uneasy premonition, and after reading the news he had sent back, that premonition worsened.
“Mixed Yuan City …… huh, what a Mixed Yuan Realist!”
“It’s not advisable to scare the snakes now, and with the opening of the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm in half a year, we have to get the Realm Breaking Talisman.”
After the two conferred for a moment, they punched a soul force towards the soul lamp.
In one of the Xuan size rooms of the Xiang Yun Inn, the blood formation drawn by Zhuge Yun grew dimmer and dimmer as it burned.
However, for every point that blood formation dimmed, he would clench his hand and release more blood to sustain the connection between it and the Blood Soul Formation.
It was only when he had waited for the news he wanted that Zhuge Yun stopped releasing blood, wiped out all traces in the room, and lay back on the bed.
Thinking about the instructions passed down by the sect elders, as well as the words spoken by Xu Chuniang not long ago, he could not help but have a bit of a headache.
The Tian Yuan Secret Realm was naturally a must-see, and he had come to Mixed Yuan City on this trip mainly to find the Realm Breaking Talisman within it.
But right now, there was still half a year before the Tian Yuan Secret Realm opened. There weren’t many people who knew about this news.
The injuries on his body would last for a month. The remaining months were more than enough time to hunt the Yuan Devouring Beast.
Seeing how Xu Chuniang looked like she couldn’t wait to complete the commission, what method should he use to drag through these months?
Zhuge Yun only felt his head hurt even more when he thought this way. He had practiced for so many years, and today he had received the most aggravation.
On the contrary, he was burdened with a heavy responsibility and still had nowhere to talk about it.
Zhuge Yun took a deep breath and simply stopped thinking about it, taking one step at a time.
Xu Chunlian is not going to leave him alone, pulling the rest of the several brothers and sisters on the Wind Weeping Mountain, right?
Zhuge Yun actually guessed correctly, Xu Chuniang really thought about the feasibility of leaving Zhuge Yun behind to go hunting Yuan Devouring Beasts.
But in the end she did not do that, that would seem too deliberate.
In order to avoid that demonic soul master in the dark thinking too much, she preferred to wait for some more time.
