Su Ling could not believe that she would lose so easily. She shook her head hard twice and only woke up when she felt a sharp pain on her neck.
She did not believe it! Confusion! Lost! All kinds of emotions surged out, making Su Ling stand in the air blankly. After a long time, she seemed to have calmed down a lot. Su Ling extended her slender finger and gently pushed Chen Tianming's sword away from her neck. She let out a long sigh. "I lost!"
Chen Tianming smiled indifferently. He returned the sword and shook it. With a clang, the smoke and smoke disappeared from his hand. "Victory and defeat are unpredictable. I hope that Master will not be at ease!"
Su Ling gazed at Chen Tianming and turned back to look at Qingyue and the other elders. These elders were also scared silly. They couldn't believe that Su Ling, who was the Master of Qionghua, was defeated in just one move. In their eyes, this was an unimaginable thing!
"I want to find Grandma Yao! I wonder if Grandma Yao has returned to the mountain?" Chen Tianming slightly cupped his hands. His purpose of this trip was to find Grandma Yao to save Xiao Xiao. He did not want to have any more grudges with Qionghua!
Su Ling nodded her head, "Cultivation Assembly is over. They will return to the mountain soon! You go to Drunken Flower Yin to find her!" Finishing her words, she lightly flicked her silk sleeve, turned around and ignored everyone as she flew towards the Qionghua Faction. Her desolate back gradually disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Chen Tianming quietly looked at Su Ling's back and sighed in his heart. He knew that today's defeat would definitely leave a shadow in Su Ling's heart.
After landing in the valley, Chen Tianming glanced at the few elders who were still standing in the sky and didn't know what to do. He then flew into the Qionghua Sect with a light laugh.
After stepping into the Qionghua once again, not only did Chen Tianming have a different feeling in his heart, he also looked at the magnificent palaces that were as beautiful as spring. When he thought about the scene of the chaos in the Qionghua, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"At this moment, at the same time, at the same time! Karma is destined!" Chen Tianming muttered softly. Without further ado, he launched his movement technique and flew towards the east side of the Qionghua Sect.
"Drunken Flower Shade" was filled with hundreds of flowers. The exotic flowers were competing with each other. Grandma Yao's Hundred Herb House was still sitting in it. Chen Tianming was familiar with the way and once again followed the small path to Grandma Yao's residence.
That Frost Plum Tree that seemed to have not fallen for ten thousand years was still standing in the wind and swaying unceasingly. However, that unique fragrance made Chen Tianming's heart clear.
He secretly praised it in his heart. Chen Tianming extended his hand and gently caressed this old tree that had no idea how old it was.
"Who came?" Grandma Yao's aged voice sounded from within the Hundred Herbs House. However, compared to before, her voice was clearly lacking in breath.
Chen Tianming was stunned for a moment. His heart tightened for no reason. Just as he was about to push the door open, Grandma Yao's voice came from the room again, "Girl, go and see who came."
"Yes,granny!" Xuanji's voice that he had not seen for a long time sounded out from within the room.
Chen Tianming simply stopped his steps.
"Creak!" The door to the thatched cottage was opened. Xuanji, who was dressed in a white gown, walked out. Xuanji was immediately stunned when she saw Chen Tianming. It was only a short while before she reacted. Xuanji shouted in surprise and ran over, "Mr Chen! Why are you here?" After shouting, she realized that her voice was too loud. She hurriedly covered her mouth and stood beside Chen Tianming, looking around carefully. After making sure that there was no one around, she seemed to be relieved.
Chen Tianming saw Xuanji's cute appearance and could not help laughing. "It's okay. It was your master who let me in!"
"Master?" Xuanji was surprised and said, "Why would Master let you in? Didn't you guys..." She remembered that after Chen Tianming caused a ruckus in Qionghua and escaped, Su Ling even got angry because of it. That anger had burned the entire Qionghua Sect, and every disciple. How could she let the enemies who had caused havoc in the Qionghua enter the sect again? She could not understand. However, Chen Tianming didn't want to dwell on this matter any longer. He just chuckled lightly. He patted Xuanji's head and said with a smile, "Silly girl. Who can stop you, Mr Chen, if you want to come in? Your master has no choice but to let me in!"
Xuanji pouted. How could she not tell that Chen Tianming was lying to her?
"Girl? You, Mr Chen? Is that brat here?" Grandma Yao's surprised voice could be heard from the room.
Xuanji turned around to look inside the room and a trace of worry appeared on her face. She turned her head and said to Chen Tianming, "Mr Chen, let me bring you inside!"
Chen Tianming could tell that there was something going on. He nodded and followed Xuanji into the Hundred Herb House.
The cottage was as simple as it used to be. There was only one extra bed in the cottage. The simple bedding was laid neatly and the cottage was clean and spotless.
Chen Tianming gave a simple glance. When he first came here, there were bottles and jars everywhere. At this time, these things had been neatly categorized.
Walking into the hut, Chen Tianming saw Grandma Yao lying on the bed with a pale face. His face was shocked and his feet could not help but pause. He quickly ran up and looked at Grandma Yao in a daze. His eyes were full of worry.
Seeing Chen Tianming like this as soon as he came in, Grandma Yao forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. I just got a little injured. I will recover in ten days and half a month!"
"Granny, who hurt you?" Chen Tianming frowned slightly. He knew very well about Grandma Yao's cultivation. She was at least at the Mid Period ofCore Transformation Stage. The number of people who could hurt her could be counted on one's fingers.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Yao did not answer but shook her head with a bitter smile. "Stinking brat, don't ask anymore! This has nothing to do with you!" After a pause, Grandma Yao looked at Chen Tianming with a smile and asked, "You wouldn't come for no reason. Speak. Cough, cough... Why did you come to find Granny? "
Chen Tianming originally wanted to ask Grandma Yao to help save Xiao Xiao, but when he saw Grandma Yao's current state, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
Shaking his head lightly, Chen Tianming could not help changing the topic. He turned his head to look at the house and asked, "Why is Yuu Yu not here?"
Grandma Yao knew that Chen Tianming must have something important to look for her but since Chen Tianming did not say it, she would not ask. She only lightly nodded and said, "This girl went out to pick medicine for me, sigh! She is old, and she needs to find someone to do things!"
Xuanji who was by the side walked forward and sat on the bed. She reached out her hand to lightly cover Grandma Yao with the blanket and said, "Granny, don't say that. It has always been you taking care of us!"
"Silly child!" Grandma Yao smiled in satisfaction, but she could not help but straighten her body and cough several times. Her face became even paler.
Xuanji who was by the side hurriedly picked up a piece of white cloth from the basin beside the bed. After drying it, she handed it to Grandma Yao. Grandma Yao took the cloth and covered her mouth. She coughed a few times and took off the cloth. A large piece of dark red blood was left on the cloth.
"Granny... you..." Chen Tianming was stunned. He did not expect Grandma Yao to be so seriously injured.
Xuanji took the blood-stained cloth and soaked it in the basin. After soaking it clean, she handed it to Grandma Yao to wipe her mouth.
Grandma Yao looked up at Chen Tianming and forced a smile, "It's fine. My old bones will not die!" After a pause, she looked at Chen Tianming doubtfully and asked the same question as Xuanji. "Stinking brat. Why did Su Ling that woman agree to let you come in here?"
Chen Tianming looked at Xuanji who was busy and honestly replied, "After defeating her, she naturally let me in!"
When Grandma Yao heard this, her eyes instantly lit up and a little blood color appeared on her pale face. She seemed to be a little excited and said, "Stinking brat! You said you defeated Su Ling?"
Chen Tianming did not understand and lightly nodded his head.
"Okay! No wonder Yuu Yu would like you! Even Granny likes you! Cough cough... "This excitement involuntarily caused Grandma Yao's chest to rise and fall again.
" Granny, don't say that. Kid,i'm ashamed of myself! To be able to defeat Su Ling, it was all a trick! " Chen Tianming said modestly, but he could be considered to be speaking the truth.
"Humph!" Grandma Yao's expression became stern. "You are still dishonest with your mother-in-law! Last time at the Cultivation Assembly,i saw that your cultivation had improved a lot. It seems that the demonic beast that ran out that day was also taken away by you, right?"
Chen Tianming chuckled and lightly nodded his head. He didn't want to hide anything from Grandma Yao.
Grandma Yao lowered her eyes and pursed her lips as if she was thinking about something. Chen Tianming did not disturb her.
After a while, Grandma Yao suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Chen Tianming. "Stinking brat! Come here,i have something to say to you!" She turned her head to look at Xuanji and said, "Girl, you go out for a while first. Granny has some matters to settle with this brat! Granny will call you in later!"
Xuanji nodded obediently and stood up. She looked at Chen Tianming and gave him a look. She quickly left.
Seeing Xuanji walk out of the room, Grandma Yao reluctantly raised her hand and gestured for Chen Tianming to sit down.
"Stinking brat, your fate with your mother-in-law is not shallow. Today I will speak frankly! Granny has something to ask of you!" Grandma Yao's expression was very serious.
Chen Tianming did not dare to be neglectful either. He sat on the chair beside the bed and listened attentively.
Chen Tianming knew in his heart that what Grandma Yao said must have something to do with her serious injuries.
"What is it? Grandma Yao, please speak!" Chen Tianming said straightforwardly.
Grandma Yao stared at Chen Tianming and nodded. She said," Do you still remember the last time you ran away? "
Chen Tianming was stunned and nodded. He was confused!
Grandma Yao smiled bitterly. "You ran away. It was hard on that old fool, Wuhua."
"What happened to senior Wuhua?" Chen Tianming had a deep impression of Wuhua. If Wuhua hadn't helped him at that time, he wouldn't have been able to run away. When he heard that Wuhua was hurt because of him, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Grandma Yao could naturally tell Chen Tianming's mood from his expression. She nodded and said, "You don't have to worry too much. After all, that old fart was the supreme elder of Qionghua Sect. His identity was there. What?" After a pause, Grandma Yao continued, "But after you left that day... Facing the doubts of all the disciples in Qionghua, Wuhua chose to fall into the abyss forever!"
"Abyss? Could it be the place where broken swords lay everywhere? " Chen Tianming quickly asked. When he heard the word "deep Abyss," he immediately thought of that strange and unpredictable place.
