Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Mission? Mystery
“Ever since we knew that Senior Sister picked the Flowing Jade Cold Lotus, and it was the master’s sect’s instruction, we’ve been more serious about finding the Cold Lotus.”
“On the second day in the Trial Realm, we arrived at the lake where the Cold Lotus grows, but by the ti we got there, the Cold Lotus had been picked.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen’s brow twitched slightly, glancing nonchalantly at the calm Gu Zhiqi again.
He secretly clicked his tongue in his mind. How did she manage to stay so composed?
“To find the person who took the Cold Lotus, we started searching separately, but we didn’t find the person. Instead, we encountered four giant snakes.”
Tang Yichen: “…”
Four giant snakes?
Were they the sa four that he and Gu Xiaoxi encountered?
“Originally, those four giant snakes were chasing a woman, but Senior Sister told us to save that woman, and then the snakes began attacking us.”
At this point, Xiao Liang’s breath grew rough, with fear in his eyes and a hard-to-conceal sense of loss and hatred.
“Those four giant snakes were very powerful, and we were no match for them at all.”
“So, my junior sister, Senior Sister, and I stayed behind to hold off the snakes, letting the others retreat first.”
“After the others retreated, Senior Sister… she…” As Xiao Liang spoke, his hands began to clench tightly, his eyes turning red.
Next to him, Yu Shishi saw this, placed a hand over Xiao Liang’s, and continued for him: “Senior Sister injured with a poison branch to save her own life, allowing those giant snakes to attack . She took the opportunity to escape.”
“The injury near my heart was inflicted by Senior Sister.”
Compared to Xiao Liang, Yu Shishi was much calr.
Perhaps it was because they had been to the Ghost Gate Pass, or maybe she was just thoroughly disappointed in that Senior Sister.
“At the last mont, Senior Brother crushed the Jade Talisman and took out of the Poison Arts Trial Realm.”
“We were wearing the attire of the Immortal dical Alliance, so when we ca out of the Trial Realm, disciples of the Immortal dical Alliance ca forward to heal us.”
“During the treatnt, they asked about the cause of our injuries, and we told them the truth. Unexpectedly…”
“Unexpectedly, those disciples suddenly wanted to kill and Senior Brother for so unknown reason.”
“Fortunately, Senior Brother’s mother is a Mystic Master, and she had set a Body-Protection Array on him, saving our lives. Amidst the chaos, Senior Brother took into the dical Trial Realm.”
“After that, we changed our nas and dared not tell others about our previous experiences. Later, we t you.”
With this, the two finished telling their story.
After the story, Tang Yichen’s expression was slightly complex, “So, the ones hunting you might really be people from the dical Alliance.”
Yu Shishi nodded, “Not might be, definitely.”
As Xiao Liang cald down, he also spoke up, “Yet, until now, I still don’t understand why they want to hunt us.”
“Is it to protect Senior Sister Ling Ruoyan?”
“And why protect her?”
“Is it because of a task, or because of Ling Ruoyan’s talent in dical arts and Fragrance Refining?”
Just as Xiao Liang’s words of doubt were spoken, Ling Zhiyu, who had been silent, spoke, “Did she say who in the master’s sect sent her to pick the Cold Lotus?”
Hearing this, Xiao Liang shook his head, “No, she only said it was a task given by the master’s sect.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhiyu’s eyes filled with deep thought. She slightly lowered her eyes and said faintly, “Tasks from the master’s sect are all placed in the Mission Hall. Recently, the Mission Hall hasn’t issued any tasks about picking the Cold Lotus.”
On the first day of the big competition, she had visited the Mission Hall and found no tasks related to the Cold Lotus.
Moreover, as Tang Yichen ntioned, items from the Trial Realm cannot be taken out, so the master’s sect would not issue such tasks.
