Chapter 226: The Villagers Who Disappeared for No Reason
“Not only has the matter of the villagers gone missing not been clarified, but even our people have also died inside. This matter is too serious. We must find the truth and rescue those disciples.”
“Master, I am willing to go and rescue my Junior Brothers.”
“Master, I am also willing to go!”
All the disciples petitioned one after another.
“Very good. Junyan will lead the team this time. You guys will go with him.”
“Tower Master Fang, can you let me go with them? Maybe I can be of some help.”
No one expected Gu Xi to suddenly appear here and even said that he would go with them. Seeing his appearance, Fang Qinyu’s eyes immediately lit up.
Fang Qingshan said somewhat hesitantly, “But are your injuries alright? Why don’t you stay here and recuperate?”
These words were rather tactful, but Gu Xi knew that Fang Qingshan was worried that his lack of cultivation level would delay Li Junyan and the others from retreating.
“Please rest assured, Tower Master. I have the ability to protect myself. It’s just that these few days, in order to thank Tower Master for taking care of me, I wanted to help you resolve your problems.”
Since he had already said that, it would be ungrateful if he were to reject Gu Xi. Fang Qingshan had no choice but to agree. However, he still reminded Li Junyan to pay attention to Gu Xi’s safety.
“Junyan, you must not let Fellow Daoist Gu fall into a dangerous situation.”
There was another reason for Fang Qingshan. Based on Gu Xi’s unfathomable abilities, he might really be able to help. He could even use this opportunity to test his strength.
......
Fang Qinyu was initially uninterested, but at this moment, she suddenly said, “Father, I want to go too.”
Fang Qingshan’s expression changed. “Nonsense. Your Senior Brother and the others aren’t going to play. This time is different from before. We don’t know what the situation is like, nor do we know who the mastermind is. It’s extremely dangerous.”
“Moreover, your cultivation base isn’t good enough. If you go, you’ll only be a hindrance. If there’s really danger, you’ll need them to expend their energy to save you. Wouldn’t it be troublesome if you go?”
Hearing that Fang Qingshan had denied her own strength, Fang Qinyu was instantly a little displeased. Once her stubborn temper flared up, she definitely had to go.
“Previously, when I was dealing with the Violent Demon Bear, I also made a move. It wasn’t a big deal, and I even helped Eldest Senior Brother and the others. Even if it’s dangerous this time, I believe that with Eldest Senior Brother and the others’ strength, it shouldn’t be a problem. Father, please let me go with them.”
“Previously, it was just your luck. It was just a fluke!” When Fang Qingshan said this, he gave Gu Xi a veiled look. “If anything were to happen to you, I won’t be able to explain it to your mother.”
Seeing that Fang Qingshan had already made up his mind, no matter how Fang Qinyu protested, it would be useless.
“You don’t have to say anymore. In short, I absolutely won’t let you take the risk. You just stay in your room and don’t cause any more trouble for me!”
Fang Qinyu became more and more dissatisfied with Fang Qingshan’s attitude. “Why do you allow Brother Gu to go, but I can’t go? Now, in terms of cultivation, Brother Gu might not even be as good as –”
Fang Qinyu, who knew that she had misspoken, quickly swallowed her words. She was worried that she would poke Gu Xi’s sore spot, so she quickly said, “Brother Gu, I didn’t mean that.”
Gu Xi shook his head to show that he did not care.
Fang Qingshan also did not buy it. “Can you compete with him? If you have the ability, you can also make the Insect Tide retreat on your own accord. Maybe I’ll consider letting you go.”
“Junyan, prepare to set off immediately. Otherwise, there will be more trouble in the future. Prepare to set off tomorrow morning.”
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left. Fang Qinyu stomped her feet on the spot in anger. She glanced at Gu Xi and then chased after him.
The next day, everyone was ready to set off. Fang Qingshan and the others sent them off.
When Fang Qingshan returned to the Moyu Tower, he realized that there was one person missing. He frowned and asked, “Where did Qinyu go?”
“Junior Sister Fang was angry yesterday. She locked herself in her room and didn’t even eat dinner. She didn’t even come out to see them off today.”
Yesterday, Fang Qinyu and Fang Qingshan had a big fight and tried to use all kinds of excuses to persuade Fang Qingshan to let her go, but he did not fall for it at all. He never relented.
It was not easy for Gu Xi to leave, so the two of them had no chance to contact each other. How could Fang Qingshan let go of such a great opportunity? He firmly refused to agree.
He had even thought that if he completed the mission this time, he might as well let Gu Xi go to the Medicine King Valley with a letter of introduction, completely cutting off Fang Qinyu’s thoughts.
“Go and deliver some food to her later. I’m afraid her body can’t take it after not eating for so long.”
Fang Qingshan stopped in his tracks and hurriedly changed his direction. His expression changed slightly as he said, “Not good!”
The disciples around him thought that something had happened and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong, Master?”
According to Fang Qinyu’s feelings for Gu Xi, now that she knew that he was going to leave temporarily, how could she not come out to send him off? Unless…
A group of people came to the door of Fang Qinyu’s room.
“Junior Sister Fang, are you here? Master is here to see you.”
The disciple knocked for a long time, but there was no response. It was as if there was no one inside.
Fang Qingshan’s expression became more and more unsightly.
.
He pushed the door open, but it did not move at all. It was probably locked from the inside.
Rumble!
A blinding spiritual power burst out, and the door collapsed with a loud bang. There was no one in the room, and the beds were neat and tidy.
Seeing the gloomy expression on Fang Qingshan’s face, the crowd was so scared that they didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
“Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on her? Why did she run away? You don’t even know!”
Fang Qingshan was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Needless to say, Fang Qinyu must have left with Gu Xi and the others. He did not expect that she would make such a move!
“Master, it’s not like you don’t know Junior Sister’s character. She lost her temper yesterday and chased us away. No one knew that she was so bold…”
“Very good! It seems that I usually pamper her too much, to the extent that I allowed her to be so bold. When she comes back, I’ll definitely punish her severely!”
“Master, why don’t we send someone to chase after her now?”
Fang Qingshan sighed helplessly. “Forget it, Junyan and the others have already gone far away. I don’t think we can chase after her anymore. I will send a message to him later and ask him to ensure Qinyu’s safety!”
