Standing on the hilltop he looks out and sees the cave in which the fairy had been looked away.
Why did I have to come this way? what are you leading me to? asked Hua Ying under his breath.
Just then the girl that gave him the apple appeared she then too looked at the cave and an eerily smile appeared on her face as she began to dance
A-Yan... A-Yan... I beg you... stop the dance cried her mother.
But A-Yan never listened she pushed her mother away and carried on dancing with the smile on her face.
Hua Ying can never see a mother in pain, so he did an incantation and A-Yan immediately stopped and fell to the ground.
That fairy growled Hua Ying as he walked down as the darkness gathered at his feet steadily making its way around Hua Ying body and just a little away from Mo Xuanyu and little apple. Mo Xuanyu lowered himself on little apple.
Hua Ying saw this and closed his eyes to calm down, once calm he looked at Mo Xuanyu
I will never hurt you, no matter how angry and frightening I seem A-Yu, I will never hurt you said Hua Ying as he slowly made his was to Mo Xuanyu
I understand said Mo Xuanyu, I'm sorry he said
Don't be smiled Hua Ying, I know what I look like...
Mo Xuanyu jumped in his arms and hugged Hua Ying, I will get better, I promise said Mo Xuanyu
Hua Ying climbed on little apple and pulled the reins into the direction of the cave.
They came to the tombs of the forgotten, Hua Ying jumped down from little apple and went there, he went on his knees and bowed three times, honoring the ancestors; the ancestors he was once so proud of being a part of before the nightmare started.
Grant me the strength to rid you of the curse that has plagued you so you can finally be at peace, prayed Hua Ying
Mother who are those that are buried here asked Mo Xuanyu
A long time ago A-Yu this use to be my family, the Dafan Wens, grandmasters of healing, any clan could come, and they would heal them, in their eyes everyone was the same there was no difference smiled Hua Ying
Mo Xuanyu got off little apple awkwardly then he to kneed and kowtowed three times:
Thank you for raising my wonderful heavenly mother thank you for guiding her to me, help me keep her heart safe prayed Mo Xuanyu
Hua Ying was surprised but he smiled through his tears at this boy who would pray to the people that were known as enemies to help keep him safe.
Let's go A-Yu I have a demon to face said Hua Ying as Mo Xuanyu got up and got onto little apple once again.
Guided little apple to where the entrance of the cave was and leaving little apple there at the entrance Mo Xuanyu and Hua Ying walked in. The inside of the cave was spacious, similar to the size of an erjin temple, with the statue of the self-proclaimed goddess set in the center. At first sight, it did indeed look like a human, the maiden's waist could even be considered lithe and graceful. However, after taking a closer look at it, it would seem rougher. Then again, a naturally formed statue being so like an actual human was enough to make most people gasp in awe.
Mother is she really...
No said Hua Ying, there are many stories around this one, but the truth is she held something dark within her heart when she was merely a stone and that changed her into what you see today, people started praying to her and worshiping her and bought her to life. I had self-proclaimed the most growled Hua Ying
Arriving at the altar Hua Ying looked up, hello old friend said Hua Ying smirking, looking around he noticed the Gusu Lan and other sects were in the cave with them making this a bit more difficult for him once again
Lan Jingyi lifted and lowered the compass of evil, but its pointer still didn't move. A thick layer of incense ashes covered the table for offerings, and disordered candles lay on there as well. A sickly-sweet scent came from the plates for holding fruits. Most of the people from the Gusu Lan Sect had some degree of minor mysophobia.
The locals said that it is quite effective to pray at Goddess Temple, but how can it be this ruined? They should at least come and clean once in a while. Said Lan Jingyi as he fanned in front of his nose.
She is beautiful, but not divine, how could she be prayed to when mother is more asked Mo Xuanyu
Hua Ying laughed, people pray when facing difficulties and when one such as she should just appear then the people would think she is heaven sent replied Hua Ying
There has already been seven people who lost their souls. Everyone is saying that lightning has let out a fierce creature from the ancient graves of Buddha's Feet, so would anybody dare to come up the mountain? There is no attendance at the temple and so, naturally, there is nobody to clean the place. Said Lan Sizhui
It's only a stupid rock, given the title of a goddess by who-knows who, and people dare to put it here, accepting incense and worship! said Jin Ling as he came inside, with his hands crossed behind his back. The time limit for the silence spell was not long, so his mouth could already open. However, nothing nice came out of that mouth of his, as he looked at the goddess statue.
These rural villagers don't work hard when they face difficulties, but instead pray to the Buddha and other things every day. There are thousands and millions of people in the world, but gods and Buddhas are already hands-full with their own matters, so who would care about them? Let alone a powerless goddess without status, like this one. If it's really that effective, then I'm going pray for the soul-consuming creature in Dafan Mountain to appear in front of me right now. Can the statue, do it? Sneered Jin Ling
It isn't that we have our hands full said Hua Ying stepping in as he heard what Jin Ling has said, it's more we do not grant idiotic requests that's what the crimson rain sought flower and his son black heart bleeding, are there for Hua Ying stated
A few cultivators from smaller clans came in behind him, and everyone laughed right after hearing him, agreeing with his words. The originally quiet temple became bustling with noise, after the group of people had rushed forth, and the space also seemed more cramped. Lan Sizhui silently shook his head, turning around and glancing without any aim. His gaze landed on the head of the goddess statue; the features of a compassionately smiling face could vaguely be seen. Yet, he felt a strange sense of familiarity toward the smile, as if he had seen it somewhere before this. Where on Earth had he seen it before? Thought Lan Sizhui as he approached the statue wanting to examine the fairy's features more carefully. At the same time, someone bumped into him. A cultivator who was originally standing behind him had fallen without any noise. The others were alert with surprise.
What happened to him? Asked Jin Ling surprised
Lan Sizhui drew is sword and bent down to examine the person,
Seems like you're about to get your wish said Hua Ying smirking, I'd advise everyone to run now.
As he bent down and picked up the cultivator that had his soul taken just then, the dark cave abruptly lit up. The cave was suddenly covered in a red light, as if a waterfall of blood was rolling off its walls. The candles on the platform for offerings and in the corners of the cave had ignited on their own. everyone in the cave had either drawn their swords or taken out their talismans.
Hua Ying bored as he was dug in his Qiankun bag and took out gourd of medicinal alcohol. He threw it toward the stone statue, and raging flames sprouted from it, illuminating the stone cave so that it could even pass for daytime.
Didn't I just say run or do you want your souls sucked as well said Hua Ying as he walked back to Mo Xuanyu took him by the hand and whispered run before, they too ran out of the cave.
Many were stupid to stay behind and fight, throwing talismans and using magical tools after a few had their souls sucked out they finally heeded Hua Ying's advice and ran.
Finally, they came to a bamboo forest, encountering the juniors from the Lan Clan as he turned around. Children! Hua Ying called
Who are your children? Do you know which sect we are from? Who are you? Said Lan Sizhui
Me? I am Hua Ying, you are all children in my books, going into a mountain and then not listening when a senior says run and your clan is nothing special! Speaking of which send a signal and get your second master Lan up here! Sneered Hua Ying
The signal firelights... were all used up during the night at Mo Village. Said Lan Sizhui
You guys didn't restock afterwards? Said Hua Ying shocked
We forgot. Replied Lan Sizhui as we don't use them often
Is this a matter that you should forget about? If second master Lan knew about this, he's going to make you sorry. Laughed Hua Ying
It's over. This time, we are going be punished to death by second master Lan said Lan Jingyi pale with terror
Young Master Hua! How did you know that it was not a spirit-consuming spirit or beast, but the goddess statue instead? Asked Lan Sizhui
Because I sealed her before years ago and she is not a goddess, just a dancing fairy said Hua Ying
You what? Shouted Lan Jingyi
I sealed the dancing fairy with my parents, years ago, I was fifteen maybe sixteen at the time. Mortal prayed to the stone and she granted their wish in exchange for their souls, the tramp wanted to be rich and marry a beautiful maiden so when lightning struck a coffin with treasure was found by him when his wish was fulfilled, she claimed his soul, the black smith and his daughter, she went and prayed to have her husband returned and when she found him she and bought him back she lost her soul her father couldn't take her the way she was so he went and wished that his daughter's soul would return his soul was taken and her soul was returned somewhat damaged said Hua Ying
Lan SiZhui repeated the scenario both clearly and quickly. When he remembered Jin Ling's talk of "if it's really that effective, then I'm going pray for the soul-consuming creature in Dafan Mountain appear in front of me right now." Can the statue, do it? asked Lan Sizhui
How is this not wishing? It most definitely is a wish. She came alive because of what Jin Ling wished for. Explained Hua Ying and many wanted the same as him. So, she showed herself to claim the souls that were due to her.
Suddenly, the little apple halted, and ran toward the opposite direction. Hua Ying was unprepared and lost hold of the reins and little apple ran away with Mo Xuanyu on his back However, in the bushes in front of him, there came a noise of chewing, complete with crunches and slurps. An immense figure was crawling in the bush, its huge head on the ground and moving using its stomach. Hearing the noise, it immediately lifted its head. Their eyes met. In the beginning, the soul-consuming goddess's features were vague, and there were only the shapes of eyes, nose, mouth, and ears on its face, but after it had eaten the souls of a few cultivators all at once, it could already form clear features. It was the face of a smiling woman, with blood dripping down the corners of its mouth, munching on an arm that had been torn off. Everyone, following the donkey, ran in the other direction. Hua Ying had his wraith butterflies attack the fairy slowing her down so that many could runaway
That is not supposed to happen! The Yiling Patriarch had said before that high-level ones eat souls, and only low-level ones eat flesh! Cried Lan Sizhui
Why are you blindly worshipping him?! No rules stay the same in all situations. You can think of it as an infant, when it lacks teeth, it can only eat congee and soup, but when it grows up, it would, of course, also want to eat meat using its teeth. Her powers had just risen greatly, so naturally she'd want to taste something new! Shouted Hua Ying
The soul-consuming goddess stood up from the ground. Her body was tall. She used her arms and her legs to dance with uncontrollable excitement, seeming like she was extremely pleased. Out of the blue, an arrow came with a whoosh and pierced her forehead, the arrowhead appearing out of the back of her head. Hearing the sound of the bow's release, Hua Ying's looked toward its direction. Jin Ling stood atop a tall hill, not far away, and already had his second feathered arrow on the bow. He pulled to the maximum, and another head-penetrating arrow was released, the strength causing the soul-consuming goddess to stagger a few steps backward.
Young Master Jin! Send off the signal on you! Yelled Lan Sizhui
Jin Ling turned a deaf ear to his words, determined to kill the monster. With a solemn face, he set three arrows onto the bow at once. Although she was shot in the head twice, the soul-consuming goddess was not angered, and advanced toward Jin Ling with the same smile plastered on her face. Although she danced while walking, her speed was terrifyingly fast, decreasing the distance between them by half in just a few moments. A few cultivators appeared from the side and fought with her, hindering her strides. Jin Ling shot each arrow as the goddess took each step, probably intending to use up all of the feathered arrows first, before fighting in a closer range with the soul-consuming goddess. His arm was quite steady, and his shots were accurate, but all magical weapons were useless against it!
That child is going to be the death of me said Hua Ying
Then walking up to Lan Sizhui as unsheathed the sword on Lan SiZhui's waist and chopped off a piece of a thin bamboo, swiftly making it into a flute. He lifted it up in front of his lips and took a deep breath. The shrill timbre of the flute was like an arrow, slicing through the night sky and shooting into the clouds. This should have been a last resort for him, he would have just used his pipa but he was in his mortal demonic form things would escalate he needed his Dizi, but however, with the situation already like this, it didn't matter what he summoned. It'd be fine as long as the dark energy was strong enough and the killing intent was keen enough, so that it could rip the soul-consuming goddess into pieces!
Look at what situation we are in, and you are still playing the flute? It sounds horrible! Shouted Lan Jinyi as he covered his ears.
Hua Ying paused, wondering why he would play that song that he hadn't played in a long time and just as he was about to put the makeshift dizi to his lips, a tinkling sound appeared. Tinkle-tinkle, tinkle-tinkle. It was sometimes faster, sometimes slower; sometimes pausing, sometimes continuing. It echoed in the silent woods, resembling the sound of iron chains colliding and being dragged on the ground. It came closer and became louder. Hua Ying took this as a good sign and carried on playing the long-forgotten song.
For some reason, the sound gave the people an uneasy sense of threat. Even the soul-consuming goddess stopped dancing. It raised its arms, blankly staring into the dark of which the sound came from. Then, all of a sudden, the noise stopped. A figure emerged from within the darkness. After having a clear view of the figure and the face, the cultivators' expressions became twisted. Even when facing the goddess statue that could suck away their souls at any minute, the group did not cower or show any fear, but however, their shouting voices right now were filled with terror that they could not conceal.
... The 'Ghost General', it's the 'Ghost General', it's Wen Ning! They cried
Hua Ying playing faltered and staggered backwards, as he looked at the figure standing there.... A-Ning?
Wen Ning's head was slightly lowered, and his arms hung down, as if he was a marionette waiting for the orders of his master. His face was pale and delicate and could be considered handsome in a melancholy sort of way.
However, there were no pupils in his eyes, but only a flat cloud of white, along with a number of black, cracking lines which climbed up his face from his neck, so the melancholy turned into a frightening gloom.
The lower hem and sleeves of his robe were ragged and torn, showing a pair of wrists that were the same ashen shade as his face, with black cuffs and chains on both his wrists and ankles. The tinkling sound was produced when he dragged the iron chains on the ground. If he stopped moving, everything would be silent again.
Hua Ying was in turmoil his wraith butterflies flew around him; "Wen Ning should've been burned years ago, how is he here? why is he here? what happened?"
Hearing the others call Wen Ning's name, Jin Ling's blade, which originally pointed at the direction of the soul-consuming goddess, couldn't help but to turn toward another direction.
Seeing that he was distracted, the soul-consuming goddess gladly extended her arm and picked him up. Hua Ying saw her opened mouth approaching Jin Ling, he didn't have time to be surprised. He raised the wooden dizi again, hands slightly shaking, and therefore, the notes that he played also trembled. Aside from this, the flute was roughly crafted, so the sound produced could be described as coarse and unpleasant to the ear. With two notes, Wen Ning started to move.
Within the blink of an eye, he had already shifted in front of the soul-consuming goddess. Wen Ning used the side of his palm and gave a blow. The soul-consuming goddess's neck cracked, and although her body didn't move, her head was twisted around because of the force. She faced the direction of which her back originally faced but kept on smiling. Wen Ning gave another blow with his hand, and the soul-consuming goddess's right hand, which was holding Jin Ling, was cleanly cut off. She bowed her head to look at the wrist which broke off sharply. Instead of turning her head toward the correct direction, her entire body turned around, so that she was facing Wen Ning with her face and her back. Hua Ying didn't dare to relax. He took a deep breath and commanded Wen Ning to fight. However, not long had passed, and he became even more shocked.
Low-level corpses were unable to think on their own and needed his orders to lead them. Powerful fierce corpses, on the other hand, were usually delirious or unconscious.
Yet, Wen Ning's case was different, he was created by Hua Ying, which meant that he could easily be called the strongest fierce corpse in the current world. He was the only one who was capable of thought. Aside from not fearing injuries, fire, the cold, poison, and whatever living humans feared, he was the same as a one.
However, at that moment, Wen Ning clearly wasn't conscious! He was both shocked and doubtful as a few cries of alarm came threshing from the crowd. Using both his arms and legs, Wen Ning had secured the soul-consuming goddess on the ground. He picked up a rock which lay on the side, taller than the height of humans, and lifted it above the soul-consuming goddess. He started to slam it onto her with great force.
Each strike sounded as loud as thunder, continuing until the stone body of the soul-consuming goddess was pounded to pieces! Amid the white pile of rocks scattered on the ground, a marble-sized sphere rolled out, radiating a circle of light in the color of snow. It was the core that condensed in the soul-consuming goddess after she devoured the souls of ten-or-so living people. If it was brought back and handled carefully, some people, who had their souls eaten recently, could be restored back to life.
Hua Ying then walked over and retrieved the orb not caring anymore about what the others were doing
Close in on him! Fellow cultivators, we have to block him so that he doesn't escape. This is Wen Ning we're facing! Said one cultivator as he saw that many were trying to back away, they all were more concerned about the ghost general the fairy, catching the ghost general was the bigger prize
What are you scared of? It's not as if the Yiling Patriarch is here right now. Shouted another cultivator
Wen Ning waved his arm, and the black iron chains swept past heavily, hitting the swords so that the directions of their blades slanted off to the side. Right afterward, he took a stride forward and gripped the neck of the person closest to him. With a light pull, he was lifted off the ground. Seeing the situation, Hua Ying knew that the flute notes were too hurried and abrupt, causing him to develop a killing intent.
To stifle it, Hua Ying calmed his feelings and assuredly played the melody that called Wen Ning here in the first place. The melody had drifted over his mind naturally. It was relaxed and tranquil, contrasting with the bizarre and ear-piercing one from before. Hearing the sound, Wen Ning froze, and slowly turned toward the direction of which the melody came from.
Hua Ying stood in the same spot, staring into his pupil-less eyes with tears in his eyes. After a moment, Wen Ning released his hand, throwing the cultivator on the ground. He let down his arms and walked toward Hua Ying at a slow pace.
His head was lowered, and he dragged a large amount of iron chains, even seeming as if he looked dejected. Hua Ying retreated while playing the flute, guiding him to follow.
Walking like this for a short distance, they moved into the forest, when suddenly, Hua Ying caught the chilly scent of sandalwood. Immediately after, his back bumped into someone. With an abrupt pain on his wrist, the flute melody had stopped. Hua Ying thought, 'why is it you again!' and turned around to look. His sight collided with Lan Zhan's eyes.
Leave me, unless you want to be thrown back growled Hua Ying as he tried to remove his hand from Lan Zhan's grip, black hand then came out and slithered over Lan Zhan lovingly.
Traitor smirked Hua Ying and choosing to ignore Lan Zhan, he turned to Wen Ning again and continued playing the tempo that was to say run and hide wait for my call, Wen Ning followed Hua Ying orders and disappeared in the dark forest.
Hua Ying grabbed hold of Lan Zhan fearing that he would chase Wen Ning But, surprisingly, Lan Zhan never even looked at Wen Ning once, but stared at Hua Ying the whole time. The two stood face to face, gripping each other's arms, and stared.
At the same time, Jiang Cheng arrived.
He maintained his patience and waited for the results in Buddha's Feet, but before he finished a single cup of tea, a disciple ran from the mountain hastily and told him about how powerful and cruel the thing in Dafan Mountain was. Hearing this, his heart jumped, and he rushed up here again.
A-Ling! Shouted Jiang Cheng
Jin Ling almost had his soul taken away a moment ago, but he was fine now, and stood on the ground properly, Uncle! He called
Seeing that Jin Ling was safe, didn't you bring signal firelights with you? Don't you know to use them when you meet something like this? What are you pretending to be strong for? Scram over here! Scolded Jiang Cheng
Weren't you the one who told me that I have to catch it? And, if I don't catch it, I shouldn't go see you? Jin Ling retorted
What on Earth could it be, beating you up in such a dignified way? Asked Jiang Cheng
Sect, Sect Leader, it's... It's... Wen Ning... stuttered the cultivator
Jiang Cheng thought that he had misheard, what did you say?
Wen Ning is back! Said the cultivator
The thing was ground to dust in front of everyone long ago, so how can it come back? Growled Jiang Cheng
It really is Wen Ning! There's no way for it to be wrong! My eyes couldn't have mis looked! He was the one who summoned him! Said the cultivator as everyone else agreed with him as he pointed to Hua Ying
Hua Ying was still in a stalemate with Lan Zhan. Instantly, they were the center of everyone's attention. Little apple took this opportunity to return to Hua Ying with Mo Xuanyu as white as a sheet under the make-up clung to the donkey with his eyes closed.
Well, well. So, you're back? Said Jiang Cheng softly
He let go of his left hand, and a long whip dangled from it. The whip was extremely slender. Like its name, it was a streak of purple lightning which sizzled, as if it had just been taken away from a sky full of storm clouds. He held one side of it in his grip. As it was brandished, it seemed to let out rapid slashes of lightning!
Without breaking contact from Lan Zhan, Hua Ying with his free hand caught Zidian tip and between Hua Ying and Jiang Cheng, Zidian sizzled. Hua Ying tilted his head and smirked as he watched Jiang Cheng's surprised look on his face
Sect Leader Jiang, attacking me without provocation is not something I recommend as he poured his spiritual power making Zidian attack his owner, making Jiang Cheng fly back just as his own mother did all those years ago.
UNCLE! Cried Jin Ling as he went, to help his uncle up.
Hua Ying finally stopped looking at Lan Zhan shook him off and went to little apple and petted him and also consoled a terrified Mo Xuanyu, Lan Zhan moved to stand between Jiang Cheng and Hua Ying
It's fine A-Yu, I'm here, I'm sorry, you are brave... I am proud of you said Hua Ying as he now hugged Mo Xuanyu as he cried
The crowd was extremely surprised. Not only had Lan Zhan taken wangji out but what surprised them even more was that Hua Ying caught the whip and send the energy back to attack its owner while Hua Ying had his back turned consoling Mo Xuanyu, he never realized that Jiang Cheng had stood up or that he had tricked Lan Zhan in the opposite direction what he did feel however was Zidian scoring his back and was flown into a tree luckily, he twisted and his already bleeding back hit the base of the tree and opened the wound even more Hua Ying was livid.
Mother cried Mo Xuanyu as both Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng stopped, looking quite stunned.
Getting up and walking slowly to Mo Xuanyu. A-Yu I am fine smiled Hua Ying as he scattered and appeared right in Jiang Cheng face and punched him.
How dare you attack me from behind, how dare you attack me when you could've hit my child, I always said your stupid pride would be the death of you roared Hua Ying as he continued to stomp on Jiang Cheng who was now laying in a fetal position. His rage somewhat calmed down he walked back and check to see if Mo Xuanyu was unharmed. You can be glad I received the full blow otherwise your bratty nephew wouldn't even find a fucking finger, piece of shit! He spat
Mother, you're bleeding said Mo Xuanyu
A-Yu I am fine, this is nothing smiled Hua Ying
What's going on? Asked Jin Ling
Getting up again, Jiang Cheng's face was as dark as night as he prepared to whip again
Sect Leader Jiang, this should be enough, right? It was Zidian! Cried Lan Jingyi
Even after thinking it over multiple times, Jiang Cheng still couldn't accept the fact. He pointed at Hua Ying and scowled, who in the heavens are you?
I am Hua Ying, who are you too attack me? Sneered Hua Ying
Jiang Cheng was stunned speechless, it had to be Wei Wuxian who else could've called Wen Ning to his person.
It's not him no matter how you look at it, he is otherworldly Wei Wuxian was just beautiful and also the flute was also played horribly... This is definitely a case of blind imitation, hearing how inferior it sounded. Said one of the disciples
Why don't you try playing a few notes after thirteen-or-so years of not practicing, using a lousy flute made with just a few slices and cuts? If it sounds pleasant, I'll kneel in front of you! sneered Hua Ying offended
"I should first find an excuse to take him back and use every possible method to get information out of him. It's impossible for him to not confess anything or give himself away. I've done things like this in the past anyways. After thinking it through, Jiang Cheng made a gesture. The disciples understood his intention and came over."
Coming over and standing beside Lan Zhan, you do realize that whoever tries and touches me will die asked Hua Ying. You think I don't know what you do to those with any resemblance to your shidi? or how about those that take up the Dizi? or those that practice my demonic craft? Sect leader Jiang, I would first follow him to hell (pointing at Lan Zhan) before I believe your promise of heaven. Said Hua Ying as Lan Zhan looked at him and then placed Hua Ying slightly behind him
Second Young Master Lan, are you purposely making it difficult for me? Sneered Jiang Cheng
Everyone in the cultivation world knew that the young leader of the Jiang Clan watched out for Wei WuXian in an almost crazed manner. He would rather catch the wrong person than let go of any possibility and took anyone who seemed like they held the soul of Wei WuXian away to the Yunmeng Jiang Sect, inflicting severe torture on his victim. If he wanted to take someone back, the opposition would surely lose half of their life.
Sect Leader Jiang. The evidence is clear, master Hua's body was not taken. If so, why should you want to trouble an unimportant person such as him? Asked Lan Sizhui
Then, why is Second Young Master Lan going to such great lengths to protect an unimportant person such as him? Asked Jiang Cheng coldly
Out of the blue, Hua Ying made a few sounds of suppressed laughter one way to catch an angry viper is by deflecting the anger elsewhere. Oh, and Hua Ying knew how to make Jiang Cheng even angrier. In the years that he had Known Jiang Cheng he had always hated being defeated while compared with others, no matter how pointless the comparison was. If anyone said that he wasn't as good as someone else, he'd be angered and not think about anything else until he won against the person.
Sect Leader Jiang, uhm, I'll feel very troubled if you keep on bothering me like this. Thank you for being so enthusiastic. However, your thoughts are quite off. Since I am attracted to men, I don't like just any type of man, much less follow anyone who waves at me. For example, I'm not interested in ones like you. teased Hua Ying
Jiang Cheng's face darkened, Oh, really? Then, may I ask which type you're interested in? Asked Jiang Cheng
Which type? Well, the Ice Prince said Hua Ying knowing they knew he was speaking about Lan Zhan but he still pointed grinning
However, as Lan Zhan heard this, he turned around. His face was emotionless, Mark your words. He spoke
Whatever for, the truth is the truth no matter how you try to spin it said Hua Ying in mock surprise
I will take this person back to the Lan Sect. Said Lan Zhan
Wait what? Asked Hua Ying
Jiang Cheng's face was dark as Hua Ying looked confused.
A-Yu did he just say, what I think he just said asked Hua Ying as the Jiang sect left.
Mother he wants to take you back to the Lan Sect said Mo Xuanyu as the Lan disciples stood waiting on Lan Zhan.
Thank you, second master Lan, but my son and I will not be journeying with you or be anywhere near any member of the cultivational world for that matter, I know how you treat people that are different to your standards said Hua Ying as he took little apples rein's and started walking away.
Just as he got five feet, he felt something bind his wrist he stopped dead and to his horror he was bound by his own spell.
Second master Lan, I advise you to release me growled Hua Ying
No said Lan Zhan then started walking away
Hua Ying was angry as he took out a talisman and threw it towards Lan Zhan as he bought out swift wind and attacked, Lan Zhan evaded the talisman but couldn't avoid Hua Ying for long as he laid on the ground with the fan on his Adams apple.
I do not like violence, but i will fight. I hate being forced into something I do not wish to do either, release me growled Hua Ying
No said Lan Zhan as he stared at Hua Ying
After a few seconds Hua Ying removed himself away from Lan Zhan and went to Mo Xuanyu and climbed on little apple and sat there emitting cold darkness.
Mother asked Mo Xuanyu
Seems like we are to follow the Lan sect for the time being said Hua Ying, do not worry I shall keep you safe.
Lan Zhan got up off the floor and took little apples reins and started to walk
