Chapter 52 Runes Carved into the Body 2
"What's wrong, Junior Sister?" Li Changhe saw Liu Mei's expression change, and followed her gaze to look at Bai Fuling.
Bai Fuling's mouth was full of fruit pulp, which made her cheeks bulge out like a monkey. Being stared at by Liu Mei like that, she was so scared that she dared not breathe.
She didn't know whether to swallow the fruit pulp in her mouth or not.
If she dared to spit it out, Liu Mei would definitely find out that she had stolen the Yuanshou Fruit. If Liu Mei did something to her again, would she still be able to draw the runes secretly?
She also listened a little bit just now and had a general understanding of the current situation.
Lao Zhang is a nominal elder of their Mingyue Sect. Li Changhe specifically reported to the Sect Master that he wanted to capture a traitor to the Sect. The Sect Master invited Lao Zhang to capture Bai Fuling.
But precisely because of Lao Zhang's presence, Li Changhe could not just kill Bai Fuling. After all, there were sect rules, and he could not go against them in front of the elders. So even if Bai Fuling was a traitor, he had to bring her back to the sect for punishment.
However, the three people from Tianmen Sect revealed their identities, and at the same time expressed their doubts about Li Changhe's character, and they did not believe that Mingyue Sect would deal with the matter impartially.
Originally, Liu Yuanbai was not qualified to bargain with Li Changhe. After all, they were not as strong as the other party. But Lao Zhang had great respect for Daohong Zhenzun.
Moreover, Liu Yuanbai vaguely felt that Daohong Zhenzun might have done Lao Zhang a favor, so with Lao Zhang around, Li Changhe did not dare to attack Bai Fengzhi, and they also refused to let Li Changhe take Bai Fuling back.
Lao Zhang is most reluctant to get involved in things, but now he is forced to do so. He just wants to be an invisible person and stay away from all this chaos.
He could neither break his promise to the headmaster nor let down Daohong Zhenzun for saving his life, so he was in a dilemma.
Old Zhang had no other choice but to say, "How about this, I will go back to the sect with Li Changhe and the others to ensure that Bai Xiaoyou can return to Mingyue Sect safely."
Liu Yuanbai seemed to have heard a joke, "Senior, don't forget that Li Changhe is from the Steward's Hall. Bringing Fellow Daoist Bai back to the sect is equivalent to handing him over to him, right?"
Old Zhang said with a stiff face, "The sect rules are strict. Young friend Liu should still believe in the sect rules of Mingyue Sect."
Liu Yuanbai shook his head. "I think you are not familiar with the rules of the sect. Why don't you ask your friends in the sect? If an outer sect servant disciple has his dantian destroyed and his magic weapon stolen by a direct disciple, will the sect enforce the law impartially and give the outer sect servant the first explanation?"
Old Zhang's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. He was just too lazy to deal with people, so he didn't want to join a big sect. Now he was asked to contact friends, where would he find friends? Apart from Old Man Li, he had no other friends.
Old Zhang had no choice but to turn his gaze to Old Man Li.
It was rare for Old Man Li to see Old Zhang having fun, and Old Zhang even asked him for help, so he was extremely happy.
Especially since Old Man Li had just used a photo stone as a commemoration, he couldn't wait to show his courtesy.
Old man Li took out one of his own jade slips, picked a random person, and asked, "Xiao Mingming, I have a question for you! If your direct disciple robbed the outer sect disciple's things and crippled him, what would you do?"
The person on the other end of the jade slip cursed and swore at first, strongly expressing his dissatisfaction with the name "Xiao Mingming", and then got to the point, "What else can we do? Isn't it enough to kick that outer disciple out as a traitor to the sect?"
Old Zhang's face turned red after hearing these words. He didn't expect that his so-called guarantee was like bullshit.
It turns out that there is cannibalism in the sect.
Old man Li was not too surprised. After all, he had seen more such things than anyone else, whether they were watched openly or secretly, in his eyes it was nothing more than a lively event.
Liu Mei and Li Changhe both changed their expressions as things were going further and further off track.
The helpers they found turned out to be the umbrella for their opponents. How can they deal with this?
Liu Yuanbai proposed a solution at this time, "Senior, please don't be embarrassed. It's not that we don't agree to let Fellow Daoist Bai return to the sect. We just can't accept the sect's secret manipulation. So, when Daohong Zhenzun comes later, let him accompany us to Mingyue Sect to witness the sect's rules. What do you think?"
Li Changhe's face turned green when he heard this. "Let's not talk about whether Daohong Zhenzun is this Taoist friend's master. Even if Daohong Zhenzun is really this Taoist friend Bai's master, how can you guarantee that you can invite Daohong Zhenzun to come! If he is in seclusion now, do we have to waste time here too?"
Liu Mei stood up and bowed to Lao Zhang, saying, "Elder, our Mingyue Sect will never be partial. If you are worried about Junior Sister Bai's safety and worried that the sect is partial to me, you can participate and supervise the whole process."
Liu Yuanbai immediately interrupted, "Senior, you must be careful. The people in the sect are all colluding with each other. You are not familiar with them, and you don't know that they are colluding with each other. When the time comes, they will confuse right and wrong, and I am afraid that even you will be kept in the dark."
"That's right!" Bai Fengzhi also stood up and said, "On the surface, they let you participate, but who knows what they want to do secretly? Maybe they want to kill someone with a borrowed knife. The people of Mingyue Sect have always done dirty things!"
Liu Yuanbai said that her master was extremely noble and asked her to act in the most noble manner, so Bai Fengzhi straightened her chest, raised her neck, and was as proud as a peacock.
Lao Zhang's decision-making difficulty came back again. He had no idea who to listen to. Dealing with people was really hard. It would be better to stay in the cave and retreat.
Bai Fuling suppressed her nausea and swallowed a mouthful of fruit pulp. Unexpectedly, as soon as she swallowed, Liu Mei looked towards her. She was so scared that her heart started pounding and she even forgot about the nausea.
Liu Mei glanced at Bai Fuling twice, and always felt that something had changed.
Although Bai Fuling was tied up with the immortal rope and logically couldn't do anything wrong, she just felt uneasy.
Liu Mei thought about it and finally decided to look after Bai Fuling herself, otherwise she would not be at ease.
If Bai Fuling could move at this moment, she would definitely hide her head and do something under the enemy's nose. Is this something she can do? Do you really think she is a spy?
If she continues to be so nervous for a few more days, she will become bald.
When Bai Fuling thought about her brain which was comparable to Liu Yuanbai's, she felt like she had no desire to live.
"Come back to your senses and get down to business." Qinghe snapped his fingers.
Bai Fuling asked uncertainly, "Will I really not be discovered like this?"
Qinghe blocked Bai Fuling with just one sentence.
"You won't have a second chance to eat the Yuanshou Fruit."
Bai Fuling didn't know whether to cry or laugh after hearing this. She didn't want to eat anything that the golden bamboo fish fed her anymore, and she was also afraid that this was her only chance. What if it didn't work out?
Bai Fuling's heartbeat instantly accelerated and her head was buzzing.
Qing He comforted her, "Don't be afraid, just calm down."
I have to say that Qinghe's voice can sometimes really calm people down.
Just one sentence of "don't be afraid" helped Bai Fuling find her backbone. After reciting the Heart Clearing Mantra twice, her heartbeat recovered.
This time she simply closed her eyes to avoid her body's natural reaction when she saw Liu Mei.
After trying it several times, Bai Fuling actually found some common points with painting.
For example, she can use the gathered spiritual power as ink and draw the rune pattern she wants.
After several attempts, Bai Fuling actually drew the rune pattern, but the rune area was too large and she was unable to divide herself into two parts. Before the rune on the left was drawn, the rune on the right had already collapsed.
She had already considered this factor and had made preparations, but she didn't expect that it would be more difficult to do in reality than she had imagined.
Drawing runes requires a huge amount of mental energy. Bai Fuling is a little overwhelmed. The runes were not drawn. Instead, she seemed to be drunk. She felt dizzy and felt like she would fall down in the next second.
Bai Fuling's face was pale, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was enduring great pain.
Liu Mei glanced at Bai Fuling and vigilantly drew out her ice sword.
"What do you want to do?" Liu Yuanbai was the first to notice Liu Mei's action and immediately stood in front of her. "Don't try to harm Daoist Bai while we're not paying attention."
With Lao Zhang as his protector, Liu Yuanbai acted like a powerful villain, which made Li Changhe and Liu Mei very angry.
Li Yubai and Bai Fengzhi also followed and stood beside Bai Fuling.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed on Bai Fuling's body, and many vines grew on her wrists.
Liu Meixin said something bad, but it was too late.
