"Thud."
"Thud."
"Thud."
Because the blows were so weak, the sound was hard to make out without listening carefully, even softer than an ordinary knock at a door.
At this sight, Fairy Lingyue's eyes inexplicably grew hot, and her heart trembled.
"Since Taiping hasn't given up, how can I make that decision for him?"
Fairy Lingyue knitted her brows and forcefully pushed the scroll back before Heavenly Lord Cangzhu, then folded her arms and said in a low, resolute voice:
"Chief, if my disciple dies in the Mysterious Wasteland Tower, I would like to ask you to accompany me to Mysterious Wasteland Heaven."
At these words, everyone in the hall paled.
Anyone could hear the meaning behind Yuezhu's words: she wanted to ask First Seat Cangzhu of the Abyssal Pavilion to go with her to Mysterious Wasteland Heaven to avenge Xu Taiping.
Heavenly Lord Cangzhu reached out and took the scroll Fairy Lingyue had pushed back. After considering it carefully for a moment, he suddenly nodded solemnly and said:
"All right."
That "all right" from Heavenly Lord Cangzhu made the scalps of all the seated members in the hall prickle even more.
"Count me in."
Before long, Immortal Elder Wuji lifted his chin and spoke with a proud expression.
"Count me in as well."
Third Seat Yunhua first sighed, then tucked his hands into his sleeves and looked at Fairy Lingyue with utter seriousness.
"Senior Yuezhu, count me in too!"
Standing beside Fairy Lingyue, Ye Chensha spoke with a trace of excitement in his voice.
At this, an inexplicable ache welled up in Fairy Lingyue's heart.
She knew very well that these people were willing to accompany her not as a favor to her, but entirely because Xu Taiping's act of following his heart today had moved them.
"Bang!"
