Capítulo 852: Chapter 852: Talking About Life
The four Moth-n turned simultaneously, attacking the car. Ailina narrowly escaped with her life. But she was very curious as to why the Moth-n acted this way. Was it related to that flute sound? Clenching her teeth, she propped herself up, coughing up blood. Her office attire was already tattered, and her body was covered in scratches and bloodstains.
Seeing the Mothn surrounding the car again, Ailina gritted her teeth and was determined to rush forward. She had to ensure the safety of Su Qingyu and An Lan, for their sake and that of Ye Shikai.
“We are here.” In this critical mont, several figures descended from the sky, led by a man in a white robe. Who else could wear such “flamboyant” clothing but Nightmare? As for the others, they were the masters of the Netherworld Palace.
“These monsters again.” Nightmare held his double halberds, his face solemn. Hadn’t they just cleared twelve research bases? How were there four more? Looking at these four Moth-n, they seed to be just regular ones, but it didn’t matter. Su Qingyu was in the car and absolutely couldn’t be hard.
“Hidden Guards, listen to command. Ensure the Netherworld Empress’s safety.” Nightmare ordered everyone.
“Yes, sir.”
“Yes, sir.”
At that mont, a gentle flute sound lingered again from the mountains on both sides. Upon hearing the sound, the Moth-n suddenly paused, flapped their wings, and flew slowly into the air, moving towards the mountains…
“Stop right there!” Nightmare wanted to chase after them, but rembering that Su Qingyu was still in the car, he clenched his teeth. Her safety took priority right now.
“Netherworld Empress, you can co out.” Nightmare opened the car door and respectfully said to Su Qingyu.
“Did they… all leave?” Su Qingyu looked pale, clearly terrified, as she cautiously stepped out of the car, surrounded by the rushing Hidden Guards.
“Ailina, are you okay?” At this point, two Hidden Guards brought Ailina back. She was severely injured from this battle and needed to be treated back at the base. Su Qingyu and An Lan hurried over to check on her since she got injured protecting them. Su Qingyu naturally felt quite guilty.
“I’m okay, just need a few days of rest.”
“Sister-in-law, are you all right?” At this mont, You Lin hurried over from a distance. His suit was already tattered, and even his white shirt inside had turned into “white rags,” with bloodstains visibly marking them.
“Are you okay?” Su Qingyu asked quickly, seeing this.
“It’s fine. They’re no match for .” Ghost smiled faintly.
“Sister-in-law, you still need to go to the Chen Group to sign the contract. I’ll send soone to take you.” Ghost smiled awkwardly, knowing it wasn’t the ti to show his face given his appearance.
“No, I’ll go to the hospital with you all first. These injuries need imdiate attention.” Su Qingyu said resolutely without hesitation, “As for the Chen Group, I’ll explain everything to them.”
……………………………………
Yun City, Worm Sect.
“What? Your Sect Leader is also an orphan.” Ye Shikai was shocked, looking at Juan’er. It seed that Juan’er really was Wuyan’s trusted confidant to know so many secrets.
“Young Master, keep your voice down. This is what I heard from the senior brothers and sisters.” Juan’er waved her hands repeatedly, like a little girl doing sothing wrong, afraid of being discovered by others.
“The Sect Leader was the last disciple taken in by the Grandmaster, extraordinarily talented. A few years ago, Grandmaster passed away, and the Sect Leader, being the designated successor, naturally took up the leading role in the Worm Sect.” As she spoke of this, a look of admiration slowly spread across Juan’er’s face.
“What a pity, your Sect Leader really has a difficult personality. If it weren’t urgent, I honestly wouldn’t want to interact with her.” Ye Shikai sighed, admitting his thoughts openly even in front of Juan’er.
“It’s not like that, sir. There might be so misunderstanding between you and the Sect Leader.” Juan’er hurried to explain, showing a few hints of panic, feeling responsible for all of this.
“Alright, there’s no need to be anxious.” Ye Shikai smiled mildly.
“By the way, sir, are you planning to leave?” Juan’er asked tentatively. To be honest, Ye Shikai was quite touched. He hadn’t been in the Worm Sect long, yet soone was willing to talk and sincerely interact with him. Juan’er’s innocent and lively nature left a deep impression on him.
“Alas, your Worm Sect is isolated here in Yun City, whereas I am bound to remain entangled with worldly matters, incapable of living such a divine-like life here.” Ye Shikai sighed softly.
“Sir, Juan’er grew up here and seldom went out. What kind of world is outside?” Juan’er quietly asked. Ye Shikai slowly lowered his head. Indeed, that question still puzzled him too. What kind of world is this? Though he was only twenty-six, it seed he had already experienced so much in life…
Reflecting on the past few years, he suddenly felt so envy towards Juan’er. The successive leaders of the Worm Sect established an “Eden” isolated from the world, acting as protectors for thousands of disciples, providing a peaceful environnt. Here, they didn’t need to experience the harsh realities of society or face various challenges.
However, Juan’er didn’t comprehend the complex emotions in Ye Shikai’s eyes, perhaps finding that staying in the Worm Sect was the best arrangent for her.
Suddenly, Ye Shikai developed so admiration for Wuyan, as she seed like a mother sheltering her thousands of disciples from suffering.
Thud, thud, thud.
At this mont, there were knocks coming from outside, bringing the two back to reality.
Bam.
Before Ye Shikai could respond, the wooden door was already opened. Wuyan stood there, looking at them with a sowhat complicated expression.
Likely only she, among the entire Worm Sect, would enter so “rudely.”
“Greetings, Sect Leader.” Juan’er respectfully bowed.
“What’s this? You seem to be having a good chat.” Wuyan suddenly smiled.
“Discussing life, care to join us?” Ye Shikai didn’t quarrel with Wuyan, motioning for her to take a seat.
“Sect Leader, Young Master, I’ll take my leave first.” Juan’er’s face blushed, quickly getting up. Sitting there was the respected Sect Leader and the beloved Mr. Ye. She felt uncomfortable being stuck in the middle.
“You can go.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
“Ahem, the elixir… how’s the preparation going?” Once Juan’er left, Ye Shikai got to the point. Wuyan was helping him to refine an elixir, which was the reason for his visit to the Worm Sect.
“Oh, you can talk about life with Juan’er, but not chit-chat with ?”
