C9 The Mysterious Woman

Shi Zhao looked at Sui Wushu who was resting and said, "When did Senior Brother become able to face Min Su so calmly?"

"You called him by his name instead of Senior Brother. You are biased against him." Sui Wushu no longer closed his eyes and looked straight at Shi Zhao.

"Senior Brother, could it be that you like Min Su? You haven't said a few words to me since yesterday, but today you said so much to Min Su in one breath. It makes me jealous." Shi Zhao looked at Wushu with a faint smile. It was clearly not a good thing, but Shi Zhao spoke so seriously. On the other hand, Sui Wushu was stunned for a moment.

"What are you thinking about all day long?" After saying this, Sui Wushu no longer looked at him.

However, Shi Zhao felt that he might be telling the truth, but then he thought about it. It was probably impossible for Wushu to like Min Su. Sui Wushu liked Poria God, and Poria God liked Min Su. The fact that they could get along with each other was more like an unspeakable conspiracy.

It could only be explained as the antagonist's theory that if you told him half the story, he would be able to make up the whole story, and it would make perfect sense and there would be nothing wrong with it.

Well, Shi Zhao expressed that thinking about it this way would make him feel much better. Wait, who Sui Wushu liked had nothing to do with him. Had he been training too hard recently? No, he had to go to the back mountain to calm down.

After that, he opened the door, tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and jumped towards the back of the mountain in the distance.

The back of the mountain was not small, so the chances of meeting someone were slim.

Shi Zhao wandered around casually, and before he knew it, he had arrived beside the Clear Pond. The scenery was the same as before, except that he was alone. When he thought about the ridiculous things he had done to save Sui Wushu, he felt even more confused.

Not far away, he saw a paved path, so he walked toward it, and not long after he went down the steps, he saw a woman holding her chest.

'Where did this woman come from? 'Shi Zhao thought to himself.

Seeing Shi Zhao standing above her, the woman's killing intent surged. Other than the hand that was covering her chest, her other hand was not free either. She used her spiritual energy to control a silver spiritual weapon that looked like a bamboo leaf.

Shi Zhao looked at the woman not far away. She used a white gauze to roll up her dark purple hair, and wore a veil and gloves of the same color. There was a blood-colored white gauze on her arm that swayed with the mountain wind, and it was stained with traces of blood. The waist seal that alternated between white and dark purple wrapped around the woman's slender waist. The dark purple dress and the silver crepe dress complemented each other. Looking at the woman's exposed white arms, she didn't look like someone from this place. She looked a little like someone from the past, something from the past, and Shi Zhao couldn't remember who she looked like.

The woman shot out the bamboo leaf at Shi Zhao, but her attack did not hit, and she did not have any weapon that could harm others. Looking at the bamboo on both sides of the stone step, she thought for a while.

Ben had held a weapon before, but now his empty hand grabbed out of thin air. The leaves on the bamboo began to fall, and he flipped his hand and threw it in Shi Zhao's direction. The bamboo leaves that were originally falling down along the original trajectory suddenly changed direction and shot straight towards Shi Zhao.

Presumably, this woman's strength was above Shi Zhao's, but she was heavily injured and could only control these bamboo leaves to deal with him. Shi Zhao immediately took out the sword from his spatial bag. There were some runes carved on the blade of the sword.

He blocked the leaves coming from the woman's direction with the sword.

The woman did not have any time to spare either. She increased the output of her spiritual energy, and immediately, more bamboo leaves attacked Shi Zhao. Taking advantage of the fact that Shi Zhao was unable to deal with her, the woman ran towards a hidden place.

After Shi Zhao dealt with the annoying bamboo leaves, there was no trace of the woman at all. If it wasn't for the broken bamboo leaves all over the ground, he probably wouldn't have known that there had been a spiritual energy collision in this sparsely populated place.

What left Shi Zhao confused was who this woman was and why she was hiding in the back mountain.

Not only did Shi Zhao not calm down this time, he became even more confused.

A black shadow came out of nowhere and stood behind Shi Zhao with his head lowered. With a strange voice, he slowly said something to Shi Zhao. It seemed like he was reporting something.

Only to hear Shi Zhao's voice retreat, and the black shadow quickly disappeared as if it had never existed. Shi Zhao looked at the broken leaves on the ground again, deep in thought, and then walked towards the stone steps covered in moss.

As for the woman who had just escaped, she held her chest tightly with her fingers. A bloody smell rose from her throat, and she spat on the ground with a whoosh. She mumbled the words Devil Clan.

Just as Shi Zhao walked to the door of the living room, he found that Sui Wushu was about to leave.

"Senior Brother, where do you plan to go?" Shi Zhao asked.

"Library," Seeing that it was Shi Zhao, Sui Wushu did not plan to hide anything. "It's been less than a month since the opening of the Beauty Realm. I'm a little worried. After all, there are too many dangers in the secret realm. I should cultivate properly in order to preserve my life."

"Why is Senior Brother so self-deprecating? In the sect competition, everyone has seen with their own eyes that Senior Brother's strength has jumped two ranks consecutively. It's better for Senior Brother not to go today, his health is more important. If his health is not good, he will be burdened by cultivation, right?" Shi Zhao said.

"But..." Before Sui Wushu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shi Zhao. Shi Zhao held Sui Wushu's hand and walked into the room, forcing Sui Wushu to sit on an armchair made of good pearwood wood, "At the very least, Senior Brother should rest well today. Let's go to the library tomorrow. I, I, I don't want Senior Brother to be tired." Shi Zhao paused and said, his thin lips pursed tightly, his beautiful eyelashes lowered.

"Alright." Looking at Shi Zhao in such a state, Sui Wushu felt a little helpless. However, considering that Shi Zhao was truly good to him and was thinking about his health, Sui Wushu agreed and asked, "Can you come with me to the library?"

Shi Zhao looked at Wushu in shock. Was Senior Brother asking for his opinion? But considering his identity as a member of the Devil Clan, he needed to keep in contact with his subordinates. Furthermore, he wanted to calm down. Now that he saw Senior Brother, his actions seemed to be a little abnormal.

"Senior Brother, I won't go. I already know the secret of the sword intent by heart, and what's left should be more training. There are also quite a few spirit beasts in the back mountain, so I can use them to practice." After saying that, Shi Zhao's face turned red suspiciously.

Shi Zhao's expression made Sui Wushu puzzled. What's wrong with this child? Did he get acid in his brain, hmm? Then, he thought about the location of the Clear Pond in the back mountain. Thinking about it, Sui Wushu must have kissed Shi Zhao when he was not thinking clearly.

Sui Wushu suddenly thought of this matter, and his face turned inexplicably red. Then, he covered his face with his right hand. This was too embarrassing, wasn't it? If such a pure child was led astray, what would he do?

Shi Zhao did not point it out and went back to his bed to cultivate. Were the two Senior Brothers shy? It was so cute. Why didn't he notice it in his previous life? However, there were no such changes in his previous life. He didn't know much about Senior Brother, so he misunderstood him like an ignorant person.

When Sui Wushu finally crawled out of his cave, what he saw was Shi Zhao sitting cross-legged in a meditative position. Sui Wushu also returned to his bed and began to circulate his Qi to recuperate. The system had not come out for the past few days. Forget it, if the system came out, it would not be able to do what he wanted to do, so he might as well not come out.

Time flowed like water, and in a flash, it was already the second day. Shi Zhao went to the back mountain to cultivate, while Sui Wushu went to the library.

Actually, there was another reason why Shi Zhao did not go to the library, and that was the identity of the woman who suddenly appeared in the back mountain. He should have seen all the women of Huaqing Sect before. That person was heavily injured and should still be hiding in the back mountain.

He had to find out whether that person was a friend or foe.

Huaqing Sect was a large sect, and the library was also extraordinary. The ten-story pagoda indeed had an oppressive aura. Amber colored glass lamps hung from the four corners of the roof. It was probably another kind of scenery at night.

Climbing up the towering white marble steps, Sui Wushu walked towards the interior of the library. He asked the disciple in charge where the book he wanted was. After thanking him, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by the disciple in charge.

"Senior Brother Sui, please wait a moment. I have something to say." The disciple was a little nervous and spoke a little slowly.

"What is it?" Sui Wushu turned around and looked at the disciple. His moon-white robe fluttered even though there was no wind, and he took advantage of the fact that Wushu's immortal aura was overflowing. Since the Great Sect Competition, he had never worn a red robe again. The reason was, of course, because the red robe was too flashy, and another reason was, Why are you, a sick person, wearing a red robe? Are you happy? Really, if I were the one who came to visit, I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to go up and beat him up.
