Chapter 484: Diao Yuan's Conspiracy
"What trial mission?"
Zhao Nanxing was also a little inexplicable.
Ordinarily, if there was an experiment mission, it should have been announced very early. How could it be so sudden this time?
Pursing his lips and pondering for a while, Zhao Nanxing said to Lou Chuanbai: "Master, it seems that the task of this trial is not easy."
Lou Chuanbai nodded sympathetically: "I think so too." After speaking, he looked at Mu Qingge again inexplicably.
Mu Qingge smiled lightly, but felt that it didn't matter.
Seeing her calm expression, Lou Chuanbai said to the four of them: "Only intermediate alchemists and above can participate in this trial. The task is to enter the depths of the Forest of Dreams and search for a medicinal herb named Huanyueya. "
"Phantom Moon Bud?" Mei Zizhong was the first to ask in surprise, "Isn't the Phantom Moon Bud only found near Moon Lake? Doesn't it mean that you have to go to the deepest part of the Dream Forest to get the Phantom Moon Bud?"
Lou Chuanbai nodded: "Although the Forest of Mimeng is famous for its medicinal materials, it is not without spirit beasts. It is a test for you to go so deep. Besides, I am worried about other dangers."
Although he spoke cryptically, all four people present could understand him.
I'm afraid this trial is a conspiracy against Mu Qingge. If you can't get it yourself, you can destroy it and don't give it to others. This is the rule of Hua Cangshu.
In the past, when Lou Chuanbai competed with him for disciples, forget it. But this time is different, Mu Qingge's talent is unprecedented, and she also got the treasure in the tower of spiritual knowledge, how can such a talent be handed over to others?
There is a secret that even Lou Chuanbai doesn't know.
That is, if Hua Cangshu wants to return to the General Academy, he must either be promoted to a spiritual-level alchemist, or he must have a capable apprentice and return with his apprentice's strength.
He has focused on breaking through himself these years, but he still can't touch the barrier of a spirit-level alchemist. The appearance of Mu Qingge gave him new hope.
Therefore, if Mu Qingge cannot be used by him, he would rather destroy it!
The extremes in his temperament were also one of the reasons why he was sent to the branch in the first place. Not because of his outstanding ability, but because of his extreme temper, he was excluded by many people.
"Mu Ge, you have to be careful." Lou Chuanbai said in a solemn tone.
Mu Qingge smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are many people who want to kill me, but no one has ever succeeded."
Lou Chuanbai shook his head disapprovingly: "You can't be careless. They know your poisonous skills are powerful, and they will definitely take precautions. The same trick may not have the same effect."
"I know." Mu Qingge did not explain further.
After thinking about it, Lou Chuanbai was still uneasy, so he said to the other three: "Junior Mu, you have just started, and you don't understand a lot of things. This trial didn't say whether you can form a team. When the time comes, you guys will follow along." You, Junior Brother Mu, are ready."
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, Master!"
"Yes, Master!"
Mei Zizhong, Zhao Nanxing, and Shang Zisu agreed with one voice without any hesitation.
Mu Qingge opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, but was stopped by Lou Chuanbai's eyes that couldn't refuse.
These people really cared about her safety.
This made Mu Qingge feel the friendship between fellow students for the first time.
This feeling is not bad.
'Forget it, if there is any danger, I will block it. ’ Mu Qingge compromised in her heart.
"Okay, you all go back to rest. The trial will start tomorrow morning. In short, safety is the most important thing. No task or no task can compare with your safety." Lou Chuanbai shook his sleeves and put his hands behind his back. leave.
The remaining four people stood in place, Mei Zizhong took a look at them, and said, "I'm going to prepare something." After saying that, he turned around, his clothes fluttering like smoke and left.
Shang Zisu also looked at Mu Qingge and Zhao Nanxing and said, "I'm going to prepare something too."
After the two left, Zhao Nanxing smiled and said to Mu Qingge, "Where is Junior Brother Mu planning to go?"
Mu Qingge said amusedly: "Brother Zhao, is he still worried that someone would dare to attack me in the medicine tower?"
"The thoughts of treacherous people cannot be judged by ordinary people." Zhao Nanxing's smile was like a spring breeze. As warm as green bamboo.
Mu Qingge smiled and said, "I'm going to the original tree house."
"Anyway, the senior brother and Zisu have already done the preparations, and I have nothing to do, so why don't I go with the junior brother." Zhao Nanxing said.
Mu Qingge nodded, agreeing.
The two left Lou Chuanbai's residence side by side and walked towards the tree house area.
On the way, everyone who saw Mu Qingge was pointing secretly, as if they rejected Master Lou's apprenticeship before talking about her, and now it has become the matter of Master Lou's apprentice.
Some people even maliciously speculated that Master Lou secretly promised some benefits to make her change her mind.
Along the way, Zhao Nanxing kept secretly observing Mu Qingge's expression while listening to these people's gossip. It wasn't until he entered the tree house area that he said, "Junior brother, don't pay attention to what those people say."
"Brother Zhao, don't worry, if I want to care about these gossips, wouldn't I be too busy?" Mu Qingge joked.
Zhao Nanxing's slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed: "Master Brother Mu will not be affected, so I can rest assured."
"No, actually they're not wrong." Mu Qingge said pointedly. She did reach some agreements with Lou Chuanbai, but it was not what others imagined.
Zhao Nanxing was taken aback, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Mu Qingge's words.
Seeing him like this, Mu Qingge knew that Lou Chuanbai didn't tell his apprentice what the two of them had talked about, so he didn't say much, just smiled.
When they came to the tree house, the brothers and sisters of the Wei family had already gone to the medicine field.
In the ten tree houses, only Fu Tianlong and Shui Ling were there.
Mu Qingge went directly to Fu Tianlong's room, while Zhao Nanxing tactfully stayed outside, as if admiring the scenery of the tree house.
Shui Ling came out to make tea for him, and instead of going back to the room, stayed outside to accompany him.
In Fu Tianlong's room, Mu Qingge told him that he was going to try in the Forest of Dreams. "The requirement for the alchemy level in this trial is intermediate and above. Originally, Shui Ling was also qualified, but this trial may not be easy, so she should not join in the fun. In addition, although Feng Yugui was imprisoned in the water prison, But with his character, he will definitely not wait passively, maybe he will find a way to come out early, you have to be careful. In short, before I come back, try to avoid conflicts with him."
Fu Tianlong said solemnly: "Last time you said you had to wait for someone, who exactly were you waiting for? Can he clean up the phoenix and return home?"
Mu Qingge was silent for a moment, narrowed her eyes slowly, and said in a very slow voice: "Feng Yugui's status as the prince of Li Guo is his greatest amulet. If you want to confront him head-on, once you kill him, you will be killed." Attracting the revenge of Li Guo. We can not be afraid, but we have to think clearly whether it is worthwhile to fight against a country for Feng Yugui. That person will shatter Feng Yugui's dream and make him have no time to care about the relationship with you Conflict. Don't worry, he will die in the end!"
Fu Tianlong listened in a daze, and then nodded dully after a while.
Mu Qingge asked: "You are the young patriarch of the Xi clan. The Xi clan is already a powerful clan among the various tribes in the Ba Kingdom. It is said that the current great witch in the Ba Kingdom is a member of the Zhu clan?"
Fu Tianlong didn't know why Mu Qingge asked this question, but he still nodded and said: "The Ba Kingdom is different from other countries, and each ethnic group manages its own affairs. However, if you go to other countries as an envoy, you will also use the name of the Ba Kingdom. Every four years, a great witch will be elected from all ethnic groups as the supreme authority in Pakistani diplomacy. The current great witch is indeed a member of our Li clan, and he is my uncle."
"Since that's the case, it's easy to handle." Mu Qingge said with a smile: "Wait for my news, then you have to write a book for your uncle and give Feng Yugui a big gift."
Mu Qingge's words were extremely vague, and Fu Tianlong seemed to understand, but still nodded in cooperation.
After talking with Fu Tianlong, Mu Qingge came out, and saw that Zhao Nanxing and Shui Ling had a good chat, so she walked over.
"Shui Ling." Mu Qingge called softly.
Shui Ling looked back and showed her a pure smile: "Mu Ge!"
Mu Qingge walked up to her and said in a low voice: "I'm going to leave for a few days, you and Fu Tianlong take care of yourself and eat carefully. Also tell the brothers and sisters of the Wei family to let them stay in the medicine field these days. Now, don't wander around."
The insidiousness of the other party made her have to think more about it.
Shui Ling nodded, as if she also sensed the unusualness in Mu Qingge's words.
After leaving the tree house, Zhao Nanxing said to Mu Qingge: "Mr. Mu is worried that they will be implicated?"
"With that person's nature, it's not impossible." Mu Qingge said playfully.
Zhao Nanxing nodded imperceptibly, and said to her: "If Junior Brother Mu is worried, I will send someone to take care of it secretly. I will also tell Master to let him pay attention to the movement over there."
"It's time to work." Mu Qingge said. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't bring her own followers in the medicine tower, she wouldn't be so passive.
Shui Ling is protected by Fu Tianlong, and the brothers and sisters of the Wei family are not weak. However, what she has to beware of is the other party's tricks.
In any case, they were all implicated by her.
If she hadn't aroused Diao Yuan's interest, and hadn't had any grievances with Feng Yugui, they wouldn't have been dragged into this incident either.
"Brother Zhao, if you want someone with a bad reputation to be expelled from the medicine tower, what can you do?" Suddenly, Mu Qingge asked.
Zhao Nanxing was stunned for a moment, looked at Mu Qingge a few times, and smiled like a crescent moon in his eyes: "It's easy, as long as he breaks the rules of the medicine tower."
"For example?" Mu Qingge smiled slightly.
Zhao Nanxing seemed to think for a while before answering: "Well, for example, he went to the hidden alchemy tower to steal alchemy. For example, he killed the disciples of the medicine tower in public. Another example, he cheated in the alchemy fight. Another example, He colluded with foreign thieves and did things that were not good for the medicine tower."
Mu Qingge looked at him, and saw a star-like cunning in his jade-like eyes.
The corner of her mouth smiled even wider, she cupped her fists and said, "Thank you for your guidance, brother."
Zhao Nanxing smiled and said, "Junior Brother, you are being polite."
Mu Qingge's eyes met his, and a tacit understanding emerged spontaneously.
She smiled, and said to Zhao Nanxing: "Senior brother, I'm going to the Danfang Pavilion, you have to go with me."
Zhao Nanxing suddenly shook his head with a bitter face: "I have been to that place many times, and I have seen everything below the fourth floor. Unfortunately, brother Yu is not talented enough to go up to the fifth floor. It is a waste of time to go. If you feel sorry for your brother, why not see it?" Some alchemy formulas that senior alchemists are getting started with will be transcribed for the brothers."
"Understood." Mu Qingge responded with a smile.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Nanxing, she walked towards the Danfang Pavilion. Today, she wanted to see what ancient books were on the seventh floor.
After entering the Dan Fang Pavilion, Mu Qingge went straight to the seventh floor.
As for the alchemy recipes that Zhao Nanxing wanted, they had already been engraved in Mu Qingge's mind, and he just wrote a few to him after he returned.
Arriving at the seventh floor, before entering, Mu Qingge felt a powerful force preventing her from approaching.
Mu Qingge raised her feet, feeling that her feet were a little heavier than usual, and her body seemed to be injected with lead water, becoming dull and clumsy.
‘Sure enough, there is a ban! ’ Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes.
bump!
Footsteps fell heavily, making a muffled sound on the stairs.
Mu Qingge raised her other foot again, approaching the seventh floor at an extremely slow speed.
After half an hour, she finally stood at the door of the seventh floor.
She raised her hand, opened her five fingers and pushed inward, a transparent mask appeared under her palm.
No matter how hard she uses, the mask pushes her out with the same force.
Frowning, Mu Qingge stopped being reckless, but thought about a way to get in.
After thinking about it, a light flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her bright red lips curled up slightly.
At this time, no one will appear at the door of the seventh floor, and the top floor of the Dan Fang Pavilion is eerily quiet. Mu Qingge stood outside the seventh floor, powerful spiritual consciousness overflowing from between her brows, spreading around like countless tentacles.
Gradually, spiritual consciousness enveloped her whole body, even spreading to the transparent light shield on the door.
Suddenly, Mu Qingge opened his eyes, and there was a trace of coldness in the clear pupils.
At this moment, it seemed that she only had reason in her eyes and no human emotion at all.
Mu Qingge raised her foot and stepped into the door.
The previous blocking force did not appear, allowing her to easily step behind the door.
Immediately afterwards, she took another step inside, passing through the transparent mask and entering the seventh floor.
After her whole body had entered the seventh floor, the released spiritual consciousness receded like a tide and returned to the center of her eyebrows.
At this time, in her cold eyes, it seemed that a trace of vitality had recovered.
Raising her hand and touching the center of her brow, Mu Qingge murmured to herself: "It seems that after absorbing that ball of light, the spiritual consciousness has become a little different. If the previous spiritual consciousness was like a newborn baby, then now It’s like a toddler who has started to walk.”
Mu Qingge could clearly feel the changes in her spiritual consciousness, which made her smack her lips with unsatisfactory thoughts: "It's okay to do such a good thing a few more times! No wonder Diao Yuan misses that ball of light so much."
After finishing the thoughts in her heart, Mu Qingge had time to take a good look at this mysterious seventh floor.
The seventh floor is not big, there are few bookshelves, and even fewer books.
Mu Qingge walked over and took out one at random.
Suddenly, her eyes shrank suddenly, and she blurted out: "Poison Sutra!"
Then, she took out a few more books, all of which contained detailed explanations about poisons.
There are introductions to all poisons in the world, analysis of various toxins, and even prescriptions for poison pills.
Mu Qingge was shocked!
She didn't expect that on the seventh floor, what was hidden was related to the refining of poison.
Reminiscent of what Song Yu said before, anyone who ranks in the top ten of the popularity list has a chance to enter the seventh floor to read. Mu Qingge seemed to understand all of a sudden why Diao Yuan could take out the Po Ling Pill, that kind of poisonous elixir.
Squinting her eyes slightly, Mu Qingge quickly searched on the seventh floor.
Soon, she found the prescription of the broken panacea on a bookshelf.
The information about poisonous pills is hidden on the seventh floor of the alchemy hall, which is indeed beyond Mu Qingge's expectation. Before, she hadn't thought about it from this direction, nor had she asked other people, so naturally no one would tell her what was hidden on the seventh floor.
However, judging from the reactions of Mei Zizhong, Diao Yuan and others, I am afraid that Diao Yuan is the only one who really pays attention to this seventh-level thing.
For a person of Mei Zizhong's temperament, I am afraid that he would disdain to use poison.
He doesn't care what other people do, at least he won't use poison to carry out plots.
Mu Qingge can't say that he is pedantic, because everyone has their own principles that they want to abide by.
After the shock in her heart gradually dissipated, Mu Qingge began to read the books on the seventh floor. For her, it is the same whether it is a dan formula or a poison formula.
There is no good or bad Kung Fu, the difference lies in people's hearts.
From what Mu Qingge saw, it was just one day.
When she closed a book, she murmured with admiration: "Puppet Pill!"
This kind of puppet pill is very vicious. In Mu Qingge's view, it was more like a Gu technique. Because, there is a special bug hidden in Dan. After Dan is ingested, the worms will drill out, enter the brain, feed on the brain, and control people's will and thinking. Let the person who takes the pill completely obey the orders of the person who poisoned him, just like a puppet.
Although the poison was vicious, it made Mu Qingge somewhat interested.
When we left the Danfang Pavilion, it was already late.
Mu Qingge headed towards the area where Lou Chuanbai lived, but he didn't want to be hit by a figure who rushed out suddenly on the way.
"Senior Sister Zhu!" Under the moonlight, Mu Qingge said in surprise, seeing clearly the facial features of the visitor.
At this moment, Zhu Ling looked a little embarrassed, with pale cheeks and flustered expression. She raised her eyes to look at Mu Qingge, and surprise appeared in her desperate eyes: "Junior Brother Mu, save me!"
Mu Qingge's eyes narrowed, and she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Ling looked around and said eagerly to Mu Qingge: "This is not a place to talk, take me away first."
There was a glint in Mu Qingge's eyes, and she nodded without asking any further questions.
However, Zhu Ling said again: "Don't take me to see Zisu, I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."
She hesitated to speak, Mu Qingge replied lightly: "Understood." Then, she took Zhu Ling and disappeared in place, and returned to the nearest alchemy hall.
At this time, there was no one else in the Dan Fang Hall, so it was considered a safe place.
Mu Qingge brought Zhu Ling to the fourth floor, and after putting her on the ground, she asked, "Senior Sister Zhu, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Ling leaned weakly against the bookshelf behind her, her temples were already wet with cold sweat. She showed a bitter smile, and did not answer Mu Qingge's question directly, but said: "Junior Brother Mu, can you do me another favor?"
Mu Qingge had a pretty good impression of Zhu Ling, so she didn't say no.
Her silence gave Zhu Ling a glimmer of hope.
She put her hands on the ground, leaned forward, looked up at Mu Qingge and begged: "Mr. Mu, you are a senior alchemist, can you go to the top floor and help me find a alchemy?"
"What prescription?" Mu Qingge frowned slightly.
Zhu Ling bit her lip, the pale lips turned a little bloody from her biting. Her voice was a little cold, with hatred: "Puppet Pill's cracking formula."
"Puppet Pill?" Mu Qingge was a little surprised.
Her reaction made Zhu Ling excited: "Junior Brother Mu knows?"
Mu Qingge nodded slowly: "I just came down from the seventh floor."
Zhu Ling was taken aback, and immediately said enviously: "Junior Brother Mu is really talented, and he can enter and exit the seventh floor freely." Her previous request was nothing more than hoping that Mu Qingge would find a way to enter the seventh floor, but she didn't want to. , the latter has actually been there.
"Junior Brother Mu knows what the Puppet Pill is, so Senior Sister will not hide it from you." Zhu Ling leaned against the bookshelf again, showing a miserable smile and said slowly: "I was poured into the Puppet Pill."
Mu Qingge's eyes sharpened, and her lips pursed slowly.
Zhu Ling said in a weak tone: "Junior Brother knows what the Puppet Pill is, and he must already know its function. Now, I use medicine to hypnotize the insects in the pill, and it will be fine for the time being. But I don't know how long I can restrain it. I will When will you lose your mind and become someone else's puppet."
"So you didn't let me take you to see Senior Sister Shang, because you were afraid that if the suppressed elixir failed, you would hurt her? And you asked me to help you to find the antidote to refine and detoxify yourself?" Mu Qing sing.
Zhu Ling nodded slowly.
She said with a complicated expression: "I don't want to be a puppet, let alone hurt Zisu. If I can't get rid of the poison, I will ask my junior brother to kill me and give me a good time. lest I be used by traitors to do things against my will Come."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Ling is such a fierce woman!
Mu Qingge squatted down slowly, and said to Zhu Ling: "I've seen the formula of Puppet Pill, and naturally I know the way to break it, so don't worry too much, Senior Sister."
"Speak the truth!" Zhu Ling became excited when she heard this.
Mu Qingge nodded seriously, and said softly: "Tell me what's going on first? Who gave you the puppet pill?"
There was hatred in Zhu Ling's eyes, and she said with incomparable hatred: "Who else could it be except Diao Yuan?" She laughed decadently after speaking, "But I know that the puppet pill was refined by Master."
Mu Qingge understood.
Giving Zhu Ling such a vicious pill may have something to do with both Diao Yuan and Hua Cangzhu.
But--
"Why?" Mu Qingge asked.
Zhu Ling forced a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "Yesterday when I came back, I was going to investigate the situation, and I was worried that Diao Yuan would find trouble with Zisu. But I didn't expect that Diao Yuan was called by his teacher...by Hua Cangshu. "
When Hua Cangshu was mentioned again, Zhu Ling's eyes showed a hint of determination, and he no longer called him master.
"I waited outside until Diao Yuan came out. He warned me at the time, but I didn't pay attention. But unexpectedly, he came to me this morning, saying that he hoped that I would go to Zisu to form a team for a test together. Lian. At that time, I felt strange. It is well known that Zisu and I have a good relationship, but Diao Yuan has always disliked him. Why did he suddenly make such a request. I refused at the time, and he didn’t say much. , just took out a elixir, said it was newly refined, and let me taste it. I don’t suspect him, but I don’t want him to take the opportunity to attack me, restrain me, and feed me the puppet elixir.” Speaking of the latter, Zhu Ling's facial features were slightly ferocious.
I'm afraid that there were some bad experiences in the process, and she didn't want to tell them.
Mu Qingge's eyes lightly scanned her messy clothes, and she already had some guesses in her heart.
"I resisted desperately and escaped, only to hear him laughing wildly from behind, saying that I could not escape from his palm, and that sooner or later I would obediently return to his side and obey his orders." After Zhu Ling finished speaking, she seemed to lose all strength. generally.
"What does he want?" Mu Qingge asked.
Zhu Ling shook her head: "He didn't say anything. But what good will happen? Although he hides it very deeply, I know that he has been coveting Zisu for a long time. Moreover, he is very jealous of Senior Brother Mei, and maybe he will use me To achieve some ulterior purpose."
Mu Qingge pursed her lips in thought.
It seems that Diao Yuan wants to finish this trial once and for all. Want to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of everyone who doesn't like him?
The puppet pill was given to Zhu Ling, probably because she wanted to use her friendship with Shang Zisu to easily enter their team and deal a fatal blow at a critical moment.
With such a trick, Mu Qingge easily guessed eight or nine.
She looked at Zhu Ling and said to her, "Puppet Pill is a high-grade medicine, so you think it was refined by your master Hua Cangzhu?"
Zhu Ling nodded vigorously, bit her lips and said, "It's not that I think, but I'm sure. I once saw the puppet pill that Hua Cangshu has been researching for a period of time. No matter how powerful Diao Yuan is, it's impossible to steal it from him. It must be Hua Cangshu It was instructed behind the scenes. Hua Cangshu has been fighting with Master Lou for many years, and now the selection date to go to the General Academy to deliver medicine is approaching, if it can seriously injure Master Lou, it will be an absolute motivation for Hua Cangshu."
"So what if you know the antidote formula of Puppet Pill? Can you make high-grade pills?" Mu Qingge asked.
Zhu Ling lowered her eyes and said softly: "I originally wanted to break into the seventh floor, find the pill, and ask Senior Brother Mei or Master Lou to refine it. If the refining fails, it would be good to die in the hands of Senior Brother Mei. But I don’t want to, it’s my luck to meet Junior Brother Mu now. I don’t know if the medicine can continue to suppress the Zerg’s awakening, if I can’t wait for the detoxification, I will ask Junior Brother Mu to kill me.”
"I can detoxify you." Mu Qingge said suddenly.
"What!" Zhu Ling raised her head and looked at her with tears in her eyes.
She thought about asking Mu Qingge to help her make alchemy, but she couldn't find a reason to ask for it.
Unexpectedly, the other party brought it up.
"I can detoxify you, but you have to promise me one thing." Mu Qingge said again.
Zhu Ling scrambled to prop up her weak body, and said to Mu Qingge: "Mr. Mu, tell me, don't say one thing, but ten things, and I will answer you for a hundred things!"
Mu Qingge shook her head lightly: "No need, you only need to agree to one thing."
"Okay!" Zhu Ling was also a neat person, so she didn't dwell on this issue.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Ling suddenly cried out in pain with her head in her hands.
She fell directly to the ground, her body curled up, and she slammed her head against the floor violently in pain, as if she wanted to break her head off.
Mu Qingge's eyes sharpened, knowing that the Zerg had awakened.
Before she had time to think about it, Mu Qingge directly shot Zhu Ling unconscious to prevent her from hurting herself further. At the same time, he took out another pill from his bosom and gave it to her.
This elixir can't cure the poison, but it can calm the zerg. The anesthesia effect can suppress the Zerg.
"It seems that we have to refine the antidote quickly." Mu Qingge said to himself.
Now, she is fortunate that although the books on the seventh floor are poisonous, they also have antidote attached. Otherwise, at this moment, she really wanted to have a craniotomy to save Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling was already in a coma. After Mu Qingge placed her carefully, he stepped into the space to refine the antidote according to the antidote formula of Puppet Pill.
Once again, she is very satisfied with the unlimited supply of space medicine.
That night, Mu Qingge did not return to the residence.
This made Lou Chuanbai very worried, and even Mei Zizhong and Shang Zisu who had cleaned up became worried. In the end, it was Zhao Nanxing who said that Mu Qingge went to the Danfang Pavilion, maybe he was so fascinated by reading for a while that he forgot the time, which made them feel relieved.
The night passed, and the dawn came.
Lou Chuanbai couldn't wait for Mu Qingge to appear, so he couldn't bear it anymore and said to Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing: "You two go to the Danfang Pavilion and get your junior brother back."
Seeing that the time to start the trial was approaching, Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing also nodded, ready to go find Mu Qingge.
However, just as they turned around, they saw Mu Qingge walking back from the outside.
"Junior brother is back." Shang Zisu said lightly.
Mei Zizhong took a quick look at Mu Qingge, seeing that she was fine, the tension in her eyes gradually receded.
Zhao Nanxing quickly walked up to Mu Qingge and asked, "Junior Brother, you didn't return all night, but you worried Master to the core."
Mu Qingge smiled slightly, and walked in front of the staring Lou Chuanbai: "I forgot the time while reading in the Danfang Pavilion. Fortunately, I came back in time."
"Huh." Lou Chuanbai snorted, and reproached him: "If you want to learn, you should also pay attention to your body. You know that you are going to start a trial today, but you didn't have a good rest last night. How can you be energetic today?"
"The disciple realizes his mistake." Mu Qingge said obediently.
However, Lou Chuanbai said angrily: "I know what a fart! I think you just listen to your ears and don't take my master's words to heart."
After all, he said to Mei Zizhong and the others: "Your junior brother didn't rest last night, when the trial starts, you guys should pay more attention, don't go too deep today, let him rest well before we talk."
"Understood, Master." Mei Zizhong responded with a bow.
"Okay, okay, let's go. My eyes hurt!" Lou Chuanbai waved his sleeves impatiently.
The four said their goodbyes and left, heading towards the trial gathering place.
On the way, Mu Qingge looked at Mei Zizhong and Shang Zisu. The two of them said yesterday that they would prepare something, but they didn't see any burdens on them, and they didn't know whether they had prepared or not.
Or, they also have space containers?
After a while, the four of them arrived at the gathering place for the trial. This is on the periphery of the Forest of Dreams, and after another ten feet you will enter the Forest of Dreams.
When they arrived, there were already many people waiting here.
"Brother Mei, Brother Zhao, Sister Shang, Brother Mu!"
"Brother Mei!"
"Brother Zhao!"
"Sister Shang!"
"Junior Brother Mu!"
"Junior Brother Mu!"
As soon as the four of them appeared, greetings came from around them.
Especially when they saw Mu Qingge, everyone's tone was a little more probing. It seemed that the newly promoted King of Popularity in Medicine Pagoda made them very curious.
Many female disciples saw Mu Qingge standing with Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing. The picture of Sanmei made them very excited, and their movements and expressions became coy.
Fortunately, there was an iceberg of Shang Zisu, and those female disciples did not dare to get too close.
Mei Zizhong is as ethereal as a fairy, as if he will never stay in the world with his eyes. Shang Zisu is lonely and quiet, independent of the world. Zhao Nanxing is as gentle as jade, tall and straight as a bamboo, and his jaws are full of gentleness to the question marks around him.
Mu Qingge's wild and unrestrained appearance is full of cynicism, and it won't make people feel difficult to get close to.
The four walked through the crowd and found a place with few people to stand.
Not far from them is Diao Yuan and his group.
Compared with Mu Qingge and the other four, Diao Yuan's side obviously didn't attract so much attention. Even if he is the second person on the popularity list. Even, there are more than a dozen intermediate alchemists on his side.
Of course, even if the number of people on his side was several times larger, it would not be able to outshine Mu Qingge and the others.
Because, among the four of them, there are two senior alchemists!
The strong contrast made Diao Yuan's cheeks slap mercilessly like a slap.
His eyes were gloomy and terrifying, as if poisoned, making people afraid to approach him. The sinister aura emanating from his body made the temperature around him drop a bit.
The people around him all took a few steps back in unison. As if in order not to be hurt by innocent people.
Among them, Song Yu, who had fought against Mu Qingge before, was also among them. He secretly glanced at Mu Qingge, and the unwillingness in his eyes was replaced by fear.
Sometimes, when talents and abilities are absolutely crushed, it will only make people feel fearful and want to escape.
"Where are you going?" Sensing Song Yu's continuous retreat, Diao Yuan glanced at him coldly.
Song Yu's back instantly felt cold, and his cheeks were pale: "No... I didn't go anywhere..."
"Hmph." With a cold snort, Diao Yuan's eyes swept across Mei Zizhong and Mu Qingge uncertainly. Finally, he greedily gouged Shang Zisu's body a few more times.
"Humph."
This undisguised gaze attracted Zhao Nanxing's dissatisfied cold snort.
He stood in front of Shang Zisu calmly, blocking Diao Yuan's sight.
This scene made Diao Yuan's eyes suddenly filled with killing intent.
"Brother." With a charming voice, Diao Yuan's eyes flashed, and he turned to look over.
In the distance, a lithe but plump and charming figure walked slowly. The breeze blew by, blowing her sleeves, showing her curvy figure even more. That kind of style made many Yao Pagoda disciples feel warm in their hearts.
Diao Yuan stared dimly at Zhu Ling who was approaching gradually.
He keenly saw a faint blue mark on Zhu Ling's forehead. It looks like it was accidentally bumped on the head.
Diao Yuan's eyes flashed, and he said to Zhu Ling: "Junior Sister, why are you here so late?"
Zhu Ling raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and said in a weary tone, "For some reason, I fell asleep until this time. When I woke up, I found myself in the Danfang Pavilion."
It turned out that he hid in the Dan Fang Pavilion!
Diao Yuan sneered in his heart. Zhu Ling's answer made him feel relaxed. He could naturally guess what Zhu Ling's purpose in going to the Danfang Pavilion was. But so what?
Even if she was given a pill to understand the medicine, would she have time to ask for help? Can anyone refine an antidote to save her in such a short period of time?
"Junior Sister, do you still remember what happened yesterday?" Diao Yuan asked tentatively.
Zhu Ling asked with a blank face, "What's the matter?"
Diao Yuan squinted Yin Zhe's eyes, stared at Zhu Ling's expression closely, and said word by word: "Yesterday, you said that you wanted to form a team with Junior Sister Shang, and I hope I agree."
"Ah! Did I say that?" Zhu Ling exclaimed in surprise. Frowning again, he thought about it carefully, and said with some uncertainty: "I really wanted to say it, but I don't remember."
"You did." Diao Yuan sneered.
Zhu Ling showed shame, and said to Diao Yuan: "I'm sorry, senior brother, I was the one to be abrupt, how could I make such a request."
Her expression was extremely sincere.
Diao Yuan couldn't see anything unusual.
He suddenly smiled: "No, how could it be so abrupt? Junior sister and Shang junior sister have always been friends, and it is reasonable to want to form a team for a trial. Senior brother will not stop."
"Really!" Surprise burst into Zhu Ling's eyes. But he hesitated immediately: "But, would this be bad? After all, our master and Lou Chuanbai..."
"Junior Sister is overthinking." Diao Yuan interrupted her, "We are all Yao Pagoda disciples, how can there be any distinction between sects? We should take it as our duty to complete the trial task, and don't need to think too much about other things."
"Senior brother learned the lesson, Zhu Ling knows." Zhu Ling bowed to Diao Yuan.
Diao Yuan nodded very usefully, and said proudly: "Since Junior Sister wants to be with Shang Junior Sister, let's go there quickly. The trial is about to begin."
"Okay, Senior Brother. Then Junior Sister wishes Senior Brother the first place in the trial." Zhu Ling said with a smile.
Diao Yuan looked even more complacent, as if what Zhu Ling said was not a wish, but a fact.
After saying goodbye to Diao Yuan, Zhu Ling turned around and walked towards Shang Zisu and the others.
Zhao Nanxing looked at her with deep thought in his eyes, but he didn't speak to stop her.
When Zhu Ling walked in front of Shang Zisu, Shang Zisu asked in surprise, "Zhu Ling? Is there something wrong?"
Zhu Ling smiled at her, then called out to Mei Zizhong: "Senior Brother Mei."
Mei Zizhong nodded her head lightly, and the smile on Zhu Ling's face became even more charming. She said to Shang Zisu, "Zisu, how about I play with you?"
"What!" Shang Zisu was extremely surprised.
Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing were also very surprised.
Mu Qingge, on the other hand, smiled slightly, and said to Zhu Ling: "Having Senior Sister Zhu join us is really a great help."
Zhu Ling looked at Mu Qingge, smiling unabated: "Junior Brother Mu is absurd."
