"I know you have many questions in your heart, but none of them matter." Zuo Shu removed her veil under Qin Moyu's gaze, and the familiar face almost made Qin Moyu cry out in surprise.
"You..." Qin Moyu was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.
“There are many things I cannot say outright, but… I think I can point you in the right direction.”
Zuo Shu's lips curled up slightly, her smile both bright and mysterious.
…………
The Chen Sect still has one last Demon Lord's token, which was originally intended to be used only when the sect is on the verge of collapse. But now, they can't worry about that anymore. The sect leader can only console himself that if they really manage to bring out the Demon Lord, it will be a good thing for the Chen Sect.
The problem of getting in was solved, but it was easy to get lost in Lishan without someone familiar with the area. While everyone was arguing about who should be in charge, Mo Jin stepped forward.
"Let me do it," Mo Jin suddenly said, listening to his senior uncles and senior sisters arguing back and forth.
He understood that none of them wanted their apprentice to die, but someone had to do the job, right?
Since someone is destined to go, wouldn't it be more appropriate to send someone like myself, the best of the younger generation?
Mo Jin pretended not to see her master's expression of almost sulking. The sect leader of Chenmen was having a headache because he was having trouble choosing people. Upon hearing this, he immediately agreed and continued to arrange things for entering Lishan.
So in the end, Shen Yebai didn't wait for Zuo Shu, but instead waited for Mo Jin.
"Why is it you?" Shen Yebai frowned, his tone filled with disdain. "What use are you?"
Mo Jin replied with a forced smile, "If you're so capable, then don't need a guide. Otherwise, you won't even be able to reach Duxin Lake, let alone see the Demon Lord."
Shen Yebai was annoyed that he was coming with him, but then he thought that if this guy wasn't there, no one would bother Qin Moyu, so he stopped making sarcastic remarks.
Mo Jin didn't want to say anything more to him. He walked to the side and asked someone to tell Qin Moyu that he wouldn't be able to come back for a while. He told Qin Moyu to stay at Chenmen with peace of mind, as he had already informed his master.
As soon as the disciple who delivered the message left, Qin Moyu came over with Zuo Shu.
Mo Jin thought Qin Moyu was coming to see him, so he went to greet her before Shen Yebai.
"How are you doing? Are you settling in?"
Qin Moyu nodded: "Thank you for arranging the place."
"That's good." Mo Jin's joy was practically written all over his face.
"Why did you come with him?" Shen Yebai asked Zuo Shu in a low voice.
"I met Young Master Qin on the way, so we came together." Zuo Shu looked in Qin Moyu's direction and blinked. "After all, Young Master Qin said he was going too."
"What?!"
Shen Yebai and Mo Jin said in unison, and the fact that the two people who disliked each other had such a tacit understanding made the scene really awkward.
But neither Shen Yebai nor Mo Jin were in the mood for embarrassment; only one thought occupied their minds:
Qin Moyu is also going to Lishan.
Mo Jin's eyes widened, and without thinking, she refused: "You can't go to Lishan, it's too dangerous there!"
To express her excitement, Mo Jin emphasized twice: "It's really dangerous, really dangerous!"
"I know." Qin Moyu tried to calm the agitated Mo Jin. He said calmly, "I know how dangerous Lishan is, but even so, I'm going."
"Why?"
Mo Jin was puzzled.
He went to Lishan because he didn't want to make things difficult for his master and senior brothers. Mo Yuan went to Lishan for ulterior motives, but Qin Moyu had no reason to go in.
"Because I wanted to confirm some things."
Qin Moyu said softly.
"Is there anything more important than life?" Mo Jin said through gritted teeth.
Qin Moyu did not answer, but only looked at Shen Yebai from afar.
Should I call you Mo Yuan, or Shen Yebai?
Qin Moyu's lips twitched, but she couldn't manage a smile.
He touched the dagger hidden in his sleeve and felt utterly ironic.
Mingming, you gave me this dagger, and you even taught me how to use it yourself.
Kill him
That voice never disappeared; it simply remained hidden in Qin Moyu's dark heart, appearing only at the most opportune moment.
The dreams I had while drunk seem to have slowly come back to me over time.
…………
Because Qin Moyu was adamant, even saying that if they didn't take him in, he would find a way to get in on his own, Shen Yebai and Mo Jin reluctantly agreed.
Although ordinary people cannot enter Lishan, it is better to be safe than sorry. If Qin Moyu enters alone, he will definitely not be as safe as if he were with the three of them. Rather than gambling on whether Qin Moyu can enter, it is better to bring him with us from the beginning.
The process of entering went smoothly, but once inside, it was immediately apparent that something was amiss with Lishan.
First, there was the sky, where large patches of dark clouds gathered, so heavy and oppressive that it made one's heart race.
Then came continuous thunder in the sky, and silver lightning rolled in the dark clouds, as if the world was about to end.
