Upon hearing Qin Gengyun’s words, the group finally realized Ruo i was missing, and Wei Wan furrowed her brows slightly, asking Qin Gengyun:
"Wasn’t Ruo i supposed to be with your team?"
Qin Gengyun was rendered speechless; in fact, he had kept an eye on Ruo i throughout the journey, but only discovered she was gone during the rescue at Qinhe Garden, without knowing when she went astray.
At this mont, Shi Ying spoke up: "We encountered Junior Sister Ruo, and she had been with us in Willow Smoke Lane, exterminating Demonic Beasts!"
"Yes, Junior Sister Ruoi killed several Ghost Wolves!"
A disciple from Heaven-Reaching Peak who was with Shi Ying’s team chid in.
Qin Gengyun hurriedly asked, "Where did you et her? Do you know where she went now?"
Shi Ying and the others were suddenly at a loss for words, realizing only now that Ruo i was gone.
"I’m here."
At this ti, a delicate voice sounded, and everyone turned around to see Ruo i slowly walking over with her Long Sword, her face and clothes covered in fresh blood, rendering her quite eerie.
Qin Gengyun’s heart tightened, quickly stepping forward with concern: "Junior Sister Ruo, are you okay?"
Ruo i seed startled by him, instinctively stepped back half a step, shyly shook her head:
"It’s—it’s nothing, this is all Demonic Beast blood."
Then, the others surrounded her, inquiring with concern, making Ruo i’s cheeks flush with embarrassnt, she stutteringly told them what happened.
When she and Qin Gengyun and others went to Cyan Luo Lane, they encountered a group of Demonic Beasts, getting scattered at that ti.
Later, she encountered Shi Ying’s team in Willow Smoke Lane, because she was adept at close combat, she needed to charge into the Demonic Beast group to display her skills. As she fought, turning around, Shi Ying and others were also gone.
She fought fiercely with several Demonic Beasts, and in the distance, the howl of a Snare resounded, causing all the Demonic Beasts to retreat. Not recognizing the route, she searched everywhere, finally finding the main group.
"I see, Junior Sister Ruo i has had a hard ti, it’s our fault for not protecting you well."
Everyone felt anxious for Ruo i after hearing her story, Shi Ying imdiately bowed in apology, and others comforted her as well.
Her appearance was delicate and petite, with an introverted and shy nature, yet she fought bravely against Demonic Beasts without regard for her own safety, making everyone feel even more cherish for her.
After apologizing, Shi Ying glanced at Qin Gengyun: "Ruo i was scattered alone and coincidentally t us, but she was originally with Junior Brother He’s team, why did you fail to look after her? Maybe in Junior Brother He’s eyes, only Fierce Beasts exist, and not his sect mates."
The strong man actually got sarcastic with Qin Gengyun over Ruo i, which unexpectedly made Qin Gengyun feel suddenly jealous, coolly replying:
"I indeed failed to protect Junior Sister Ruo, but it won’t happen next ti, Senior Brother Shi should focus on himself."
The atmosphere suddenly beca odd, with everyone dumbfoundedly watching the two of them.
Liu Su was even more shocked, what’s this supposed to an? The Miss had just left for a few days, and the Guye is already fighting over another woman?
Suddenly Ruo i spoke up: "Thank you, Senior Brother Shi, but I don’t need anyone to care for ."
"??" Shi Ying was thoroughly stunned.
Others lowered their heads, feeling Shi Ying’s embarrassnt.
You accused He Zhiqiu for Junior Sister Ruoi, but it turned out Junior Sister Ruo didn’t appreciate it and defended He Zhiqiu.
Why do you bother?
Ruo i was also stunned when she spoke, as she was supposed to pretend to be shy and silent to disguise her identity.
But seeing soone mock Qin Gengyun, she couldn’t help but instinctively react.
She stole a glance at Qin Gengyun, seeing him also looking at her, quickly lowering her head.
Could he have sensed sothing?
Qin Gengyun fixedly looked at Ruo i, the feeling in his heart growing even stronger. At this mont, he was very close to Ruo i, yet he did not catch that familiar scent.
Because now Ruo i was entirely covered in blood, only the strong sll of blood remained, how could any other scent be detected?
Just then, a figure flew in from afar, a man dressed in a brocade robe, who approached and bowed courteously to Wei Wan:
"Greetings to Immortal Wei, I am Yan ngsheng, the Guardian of Yunling Town."
Wei Wan gracefully returned the greeting: "Guardian Yan, I had been unable to find you, thinking you had already perished. Seeing you safe now, I am relieved."
Yan ngsheng’s body trembled slightly, hastily replied: "Immortal Wei, clearing suspicion, today’s town breach ca so abruptly, we simply had no ti to organize a resistance. Apologies, I was caught by a group of Golden-eyed Bears, only now am I able to escape."
Wei Wan’s words seed to show concern for his safety, but in reality, she was reprimanding him for failing his responsibility as Guardian, not protecting Yunling Town and its citizens.
The city lords and guardians of the twelve towns under the three cities are directly appointed by the Zhenyang Sect, giving soone of Wei Wan’s high commanding disciple status life and death power over a re Guardian, naturally making Yan ngsheng nervous.
Qin Gengyun carefully assessed Yan ngsheng, with a long face and fine eyebrows, and a slender figure, not looking like a cultivator, more like a literati.
Speaking of it, Qin Gengyun had lived in Yunling Town for so long, yet this was the first ti he saw the Guardian.
At this mont, the Guardian resembled a humble servant before Wei Wan, his forehead almost touching the ground.
Wei Wan’s voice remained gentle: "Guardian Yan has worked hard, please arrange a resting place for us."
"Yes, please follow ."
Yan ngsheng quickly agreed, leading the group toward Cyan Luo Lane.
On the way, he also recounted the Demonic Beast attack.
Half a month ago, indeed, two Fifth Grade Demonic Beasts led nurous low-grade Demonic Beasts in an assault on Yunling Town.
However, Yunling Town had a Defense Array, so it didn’t suffer significant damage. Learning that neighboring towns also faced Demonic Beast attacks, Yan ngsheng sensed the situation was dire and imdiately sent a ssage to the Zhenyang Sect.
Later, those two Fifth Grade Demonic Beasts occasionally returned to harass, but always went back empty-handed.
Gradually, people in Yunling Town started thinking the beast tide was not a big deal and began relaxing their vigilance.
Who would have thought that today a Sixth Grade Demonic Beast suddenly appeared, bringing many tis the number of attacking Demonic Beasts, quickly breaching Yunling Town’s Defense Grand Array.
The breach happened so quickly, catching everyone off guard, causing countless casualties.
After hearing Yan ngsheng’s story, Wei Wan’s gentle eyes suddenly turned icy cold:
"Guardian Yan, during the beast tide, bearing the safety of tens of thousands of lives in the town, Loose Cultivators can be careless, Street Guards can be careless, how can you be careless?"
Yan ngsheng broke out in cold sweat, almost kneeling on the spot, repeatedly saying:
"It was my negligence, I deserve death, please Immortal Wei punish !"
Wei Wan looked at him, calmly speaking: "That Sixth Grade Demonic Beast will return. At this mont, it is crucial to unite and resist the beast tide together."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Immortal, for your rcy!"
Yan ngsheng’s body bent like a shrimp, filled with fear.
The disciples of Zhenyang Sect remained silent, still imrsed in the shock and grief over the tragic loss of their sect mates.
Mo Xiaolan walked alone at the back, her expression dazed.
Qin Gengyun slowed his pace, walking beside her, speaking softly:
"What’s wrong, are you hurt?"
Mo Xiaolan raised her head, her face pale:
"The wounds on Senior Brother Feng and others, they are just like my father’s back then! They were also killed by that Snare!"
