Qin Tiexin Before he could speak, a light cyan figure had already rushed over.
Nangong Yao is not tall, only reaching Qin Tiexin's chest, but the force of her pounce was quite strong. Her two arms tightly wrapped around his waist, as if she was afraid that he would disappear in the next second.
"Woooooo, junior brother, you scared me to death! Do you know how worried we are!" Nangong Yao's voice was muffled in his chest, with a crying tone, and he spoke quickly and urgently.
Qin Tiexin looked down at the senior sister who was crying in her arms, with a look of dumbfounding on her face.
Although Nangong Yao has always displayed her senior sister's profile in front of him, she is not as mature as herself in terms of character. She has lived in the Flowing Cloud Sect since she was a child and has been well protected by her master. She has not experienced more hardships than herself. As soon as she heard that her junior brother was abducted by a Devil Race spy and her life and death were unknown, she immediately panicked.
He gently touched her back with the handle of the knife. "Senior sister, it's okay."
Li Yun, who was next to him, took back the words he had originally thought of and looked at Nangong Yao, who was throwing himself in Qin Tiexin's arms. A faint trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting.
Then her eyes fell on Qin Tiexin's empty right sleeve. The sleeve was slightly swayed by the wind, and there was nothing where the arm should have been.
"Junior Brother Qin, your right arm?!"
Li Yun's voice suddenly became louder, and the color on her face faded a bit. She stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the empty sleeve, and held it lightly between her fingers, but there was nothing.
She raised her head, her reddish eyes staring straight at Qin Tiexin's face, and her fingertips clenched tighter and tighter on her sleeves.
Only then did Nangong Yao react. He broke out of Qin Tiexin's arms, looked down at his right shoulder, and exclaimed before the tears on his face dried, "Junior brother! Where is your right arm?!"
When they ran over from a distance, the two of them paid full attention to Qin Tiexin's face, and only then did they notice that his sleeves were empty.
Just when Qin Tiexin didn't know how to explain it, Luo Ling stepped forward and put his palms on the shoulders of Nangong Yao and Li Yun respectively, pulling their attention back from the empty sleeves. "It's okay, Tiexin's right arm is in the storage ring, and the seal is in time. Just find a medical practitioner to connect it."
She spoke in a calm and natural tone, and Qin Tiexin nodded to the two of them. Nangong Yao and Li Yun looked at each other and then breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Yun still couldn't help but glance at Qin Tiexin's right shoulder.
Only then did the two of them notice the presence of Luo Ling, and they quickly saluted respectfully. "Master, Master Luo."
Luo Ling nodded and saw that Nangong Yao's eyes were still red. He reached out and rubbed her hair. "It's okay. It's not your fault. Accidents are inevitable for monks when they are walking outside. There is no need to take everything upon yourself."
Nangong Yao sniffed and nodded slightly, but the self-blame in his eyes had not completely dissipated.
Chen Xi walked over from behind, put the shuttle back into his anklet, lowered his head and sorted out his storage Law Artifact, and then slowly followed the team.
"Let's go, first pass!" Luo Ling greeted everyone.
Several people walked together towards the west gate. Li Yun walked on the left side of Qin Tiexin. As they walked, they asked him in a low voice whether the wounds on his body still hurt, whether there was any abnormality in the spiritual power in his body, and who put the seal on the broken arm.
Qin Tiexin answered one by one, his tone was brief, but he did not miss every question. Li Yun felt relieved after asking a round of questions, and his steps became lighter.
Luo Ling walked in front, glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
Wind and Snow Pass The west gate is not far away, and Spirit Rune on the city wall glows with a faint blue light in the gray sky.
There was a person standing at the gate of the city. She was a tall female cultivator. Her height of more than nine feet made her stand out among the group of monks who were guarding the gate. She had short hair that did not reach her ears, and she was wearing a neat short-sleeved outfit. There was no belt around her waist, revealing a tight lower abdomen. Her legs were straight and long, with two circles of black leggings tied around her ankles. She stood there like a spear stuck in the ground.
It is one of the three persons in charge of Yang Qingxue and Body Refining Master Conference.
She was standing at the gate of the city, looking past the crowd in front of her and landing directly on the tall young man walking from the shuttle platform.
She recognized the figure, steps, and the outline of the heavy black sword behind her. It was said that he was the only survivor among the more than 300 monks who came back alive. She raised her legs and walked quickly towards a few people.
Qin Tiexin also saw Yang Qingxue coming this way. He was not surprised. Such a big thing happened to Body Refining Master Conference. Naturally, the three people in charge cannot escape responsibility. Yang Qingxue appeared at the west gate at this time, making it clear that he came as soon as possible after receiving the news.
He was about to step forward to meet him, when he suddenly noticed something was wrong behind him.
Chen Xi was following him, but at some point he suddenly stopped. Qin Tiexin glanced over and saw Chen Xi leaning sideways and leaning behind him, as if he wanted to block someone's sight with his broad back.
At this time, Yang Qingxue had quickly walked up to Qin Tiexin, stood a few steps away, and quickly swept his eyes across his body. His right arm was missing, and although his face was a little pale, he was in good spirits.
She considered her words and said, "Your name is Qin Tiexin, right? I want to understand the situation with you."
Qin Tiexin nodded. "Yang True Person please tell me, Tiexin must tell you everything you know."
"Okay. After you are kidnapped--" Yang Qingxue was mid-sentence when he suddenly paused.
Her eyes crossed Qin Tiexin's shoulders and landed somewhere behind. She squinted her eyes in confusion, as if she saw someone who looked familiar but wasn't sure.
"Yang Chen?"
Qin Tiexin was stunned. There was no one named Yang present.
He subconsciously followed Yang Qingxue's gaze and looked back.
Behind him, Chen Xi was lowering his head, leaning sideways, and quietly moved one foot back half a step, as if he was ready to turn around at any time.
"I'm afraid this fellow Daoist has recognized the wrong person." Feeling that everyone was looking at him, Chen Xi did not raise his head, and spoke in a very low voice, "This is Chen Xi, I am the senior brother of Qin Tiexin."
His whole body had begun to tremble a little, and the spiritual power in his body was rapidly mobilizing.
I should have known I wouldn't have to use this disguise.
Yang Qingxue stood there, her eyes slowly changing from doubt to determination. She took two more steps forward, got closer to Chen Xi, and carefully looked at that extremely ordinary face.
"Yang Chen!!!" Her voice was steadier than before, with a certain certainty that could not be refuted, "I will know you even if you turn into ashes. Didn't you say that you hit Curse, and you didn't want to drag me down, so you found a place to spend the rest of your life?"
She spoke faster and faster, and her chest rose and fell more and more. "I cried for you for a whole month. You actually lied to me."
The moment the words "Yang Chen" came out again, and seeing that they were not fooled, Chen Xi secretly shouted something bad. He didn't even wait for Yang Qingxue to finish speaking, took out a piece of Jade Slip from the ring, and stuffed it into Qin Tiexin's hand.
"Junior brother, the soul searchers of True Person Xueying are all inside, just hand it over to their person in charge. Senior brother has something to do, so go first!"
Before he finished speaking, the flying sword appeared at his feet, and his whole body turned into a gray shadow and flew rapidly towards the distance.
Yang Qingxue looked at the direction in which he was flying away and stood there, her teeth clenching. She took a deep breath and suppressed the rising anger, then turned around and saluted Qin Tiexin and the others with cupped fists.
"Sorry everyone, I have some personal matters that need to be dealt with. You can go to the Wind and Snow Pass meeting hall to wait for a while. Yang will go back as soon as he goes."
After saying that, she spread her long legs and strode towards the direction where Chen Xi disappeared.
She didn't have a sword, but with every step she took, Spirit Rune flashed on and off quickly on the snow, and the black leggings tied around her ankles made a low buzz every time she stepped on the ground, and her speed was no slower than that of a flying sword.
"Yang Chen!!! Stop right there!!!"
Several people stood there and looked at each other, watching the two figures disappear into the snowfield outside Wind and Snow Pass one after another. No one spoke for a while.
Qin Tiexin looked down at the Jade Slip that Chen Xi was stuffed in his hand. Luo Ling stared at the direction where Chen Xi disappeared for a while, sighed, turned around and patted Qin Tiexin on the shoulder, with a certain helplessness in his tone.
"Tiexin, don't imitate your senior brother on this point. You are a philanderer and you like to mess around with women. How old is this? You have to be wholehearted in your relationship, you know? Just like me and you Martial Uncle Wu."
Qin Tiexin nodded mechanically, he didn't understand this yet.
Li Yun followed behind. He didn't know what he thought of, but a very faint blush appeared on his ears, and he buried his face slightly under the white and blue collar.
Nangong Yao looked like he was watching a good show. He stood on tiptoes and looked several times in the direction in which the two of them were flying away. He said twice, "It's probably another love debt owed by Senior Brother Chen Xi. Senior brother never uses his real name outside, Yang Chen? I don't know how he came up with it."
"Let's go to the meeting hall first." Luo Ling straightened his sleeves that were blown by the wind and walked towards the city gate first.
Nangong Yao followed her, walked a few steps and then turned back and waved to Qin Tiexin.
Li Yun was still standing next to Qin Tiexin, maintaining the same distance as before. Her eyes still fell on Qin Tiexin's empty right sleeve, as if she wanted to confirm something again.
Qin Tiexin put the jade pendant Chen Xi gave him into his arms, turned to Li Yun and said, "Let's go."
Li Yun nodded, released the fingers that had been pinching his sleeve, and followed him towards the city.
