Chapter 737
Elder Yu asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Qiu Tong smiled, "Hall Master Yang is overseeing the front mountain of First Faith Peak. Although she is the wife of Sect Leader Ou, don't forget that she is also an inner disciple of the Fragrant Cult. This identity will inevitably make the disciples of the Misty School feel conflicted."
"Yes, this Yang Ruping really doesn't have it easy. I didn't even know that she was a disciple of the Fragrant Cult after being in the Misty Mountain Villa for decades. Now that she is at First Faith Peak, she can still endure the humiliation and protect the disciples of the Misty School."
"Hall Master Yang is merely the wife of Gang Leader Ou, while Young Miss is the younger sister of Gang Leader Ou. She is much more important than Hall Master Yang. Therefore, as long as the Misty Hall is not closed down, Young Miss' value will not decrease."
Qiu Tong then hesitated, "Actually, I feel that the Fragrant Cult's purpose in imprisoning Young Miss here is far from just that."
Elder Yu didn't understand and asked curiously, "Is there another reason?"
Qiu Tong was also puzzled by Elder Yu's question and asked, "Didn't the disciples of the Fragrant Cult ask you about it?"
"Of course, this old man is considered a top figure in the pugilistic world. Even if I haven't seen them, how could I not have heard of them?
I only need to tell them my name and they will know the whole story. Why bother to ask? "
Qiu Tong nodded and said thoughtfully, "I understand now. But, didn't they ask about anything else?"
"Anything else?
Of course, it's just a matter related to the Young Miss. I'm just an old man, what could I know? Naturally, I'll tell them everything I know. Seeing my attitude, they didn't ask any more questions.
Girl, why don't you tell me what's going on?
We have been here for so many years and you still seem to be hiding it from me! "
Qiu Tong smiled bitterly at Elder Yu's questioning words, "It's not that I am hiding it from Elder Yu. Actually, Young Miss is also puzzled and doesn't know what they are talking about.
What do you want me to tell you? "
"It's all groundless speculation!
Is it related to some martial arts secret manual? "
Nodding, Qiu Tong said, "Whether or not it's done is just a groundless accusation. In any case, the Misty School was destroyed because of this incident."
Then, he hesitated again and continued, "However, it's not a martial arts secret manual like what people say!"
Zhang Xiaohua, who was lying on the roof, immediately understood what was going on. "That's right. Doesn't the Aroma Sect have any cultivation techniques?
Even Su Huan Mantra was casually bestowed to a disciple like Second Brother. How could he possibly covet the martial arts manuals of the Misty School? "
"Then … what exactly is …" Elder Yu was indeed worthy of being the one who had taught Zhang Xiaohua swordsmanship. He immediately answered the question that Zhang Xiaohua wanted to ask.
This was the third time Qiu Tong hesitated. However, after thinking for a moment, she still said, "Even Young Miss was kept in the dark from the start. I heard that the Alliance Leader of the Righteous Alliance at the Misty Peak interrogated Young Miss, saying that Sect Leader Ou had given Young Miss something. However, Sect Leader Ou didn't give Young Miss anything noteworthy.
Later on, I heard from the inner sect disciples that it was some sort of map. In all honesty, how could Master Ou have given such an important item to someone who doesn't know martial arts like Young Miss? "
Elder Yu's eyes lit up. "A treasure map?
A treasure map that contains a peerless martial art? "
"How is that possible?"
Qiu Tong shook her head slightly. "I don't know how rich the Fragrant Order is. I heard you say that their martial arts are very high. They only need to pass down their martial arts. Isn't that better than anything else?"
Elder Yu smiled. "You're just inexperienced. What do you think is better, being the leader of the Aroma Sect or unifying the martial arts world and becoming the leader of all the sects in the martial arts world?"
Qiu Tong was dumbfounded. "This … I don't know."
Elder Yu reprimanded her. "You're a rotten wood that can't be carved. Why don't you have any ambition?
If … "
"Stop, Elder Yu. You don't have to say so much. If this map could be used to unify the martial arts world, wouldn't Master Ou have done it long ago?
Why wait until the sect was destroyed by the three sects?
I'm just casually chatting with you and you're already lecturing me? "
"Hehe, you seem to have forgotten that I taught you a lot back at Huan Xi Manor. Even Young Miss had to listen to me obediently …"
The moment the topic touched on Ou Yan, the atmosphere in the hall immediately turned heavy. Elder Yu couldn't continue his words and could only mutter, "After talking for so long, since it wasn't Lingxiang Peak who did it, how could Lingxiang Peak's physicians not be able to treat her?"
"Could it be … there's another reason behind this …"
Elder Yu and Qiu Tong glanced at each other at the same time with a trace of shock in their eyes.
If that was really the case, then the Aroma Sect wasn't an iron plate. There were actually people who disagreed with the Sect Master and disobeyed the Sect Master's orders. Then, wasn't this person …
Elder Yu and Qiu Tong shuddered.
Even Zhang Xiaohua, who was listening carefully from the roof, was shocked.
If that was the case, everyone in the Misty Hall was under Yang Ruping's protection and Yang Ruping was under the Sect Master's protection. If there was really such a person, wouldn't the Misty Hall's days be even more difficult?
"Perhaps Zhong Pei, who dares to brazenly torture Second Brother with groundless accusations, belongs to such a force?"
Just as Zhang Xiaohua was letting her imagination run wild, Qiu Tong stood up and said, "Sigh, no matter what they do, it's fine as long as it has nothing to do with us. Look at Young Miss now, she's all skin and bones. If … if it's delayed for a few more days, it's hard to say what will happen!"
"Is it that serious?" Elder Yu also stood up and said, "This old man has to go take a look …"
Qiu Tong hurriedly said, "Elder, quickly go and rest. What time is it now? Why are you still going to Young Miss's room?"
Elder Yu glared at him, "Young Miss is just like my granddaughter. What's so inconvenient about me going there? Moreover, when you were young …"
Seeing that Elder Yu was about to use his seniority again, Qiu Tong hurriedly begged for mercy, "Elder Yu, Young Miss is already asleep. Don't you feel embarrassed to go there?
Let's wait until tomorrow. "
"Didn't you say that Young Miss …"
Qiu Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "That won't make a difference. Elder, you should rest first. If there are any changes, I will definitely inform you."
After speaking, Qiu Tong hurriedly left the hall and walked into the darkness outside.
Elder Yu, who was standing in the hall, let out a long sigh. He sat down again and habitually picked up a teacup to drink. However, the teacup was empty. He shook his hand and threw it on the table, almost breaking it.
Although Elder Yu was skilled in martial arts, the fact that Zhang Xiaohua flew up from the roof and followed Qiu Tong did not catch his attention at all.
After Qiu Tong left the hall, she turned around and walked to the right. It was the same path she had taken earlier. There was a small moon door and a small stone path beneath her feet.
Zhang Xiaohua knew that there were disciples from Lingering Fragrance Peak watching the courtyard, so she didn't dare to reveal herself. She carefully floated down from the roof and immediately burrowed into the ground to follow Qiu Tong.
After Qiu Tong passed through the moon gate, she walked past several bamboo racks that were covered with green vines. She subconsciously stopped in her tracks and raised her head to look. She saw a bright full moon hanging in the sky. The moonlight scattered on the ground like water, as if it was bathing in a river of stars.
Qiu Tong looked around and walked to a clean spot. Looking at the boundless starry sky, she clasped her hands together and knelt down without hesitation. She whispered something as hot tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes!
Although he didn't hear what Qiu Tong was saying or praying, Zhang Xiaohua felt a pang in his heart when he saw Qiu Tong's pious expression under the moonlight and her tightly knitted brows. He thought to himself, If Elder Sister-in-law and Mother were in trouble, would I just stand by and do nothing?
The person who is in trouble is someone who I am indebted to in the past!
The answer was obvious. Zhang Xiaohua had always been someone who knew how to repay kindness. Although he didn't intend to expose himself this time and only wanted to see Qiu Tong and Ou Yan and secretly check on Ou Yan's condition, he couldn't bear to see Qiu Tong treat Yue Qiutian in such a manner. He formed a hand seal and floated up from the ground. He quietly stood under the shadows of the green vines and looked at Qiu Tong with pity.
After a long while, Qiu Tong stood up from the ground and wiped the tears from her face. Just as she was about to walk away, she heard a voice beside her call out, "Elder Sister Qiu Tong ~"
"Ah?"
The voice wasn't loud but it gave Qiu Tong a fright. She naturally jumped to the side and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?
Why didn't you rest earlier? What are you doing here? "
However, Qiu Tong was standing under the moonlight and Zhang Xiaohua was in the shadows. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see who it was. Therefore, she didn't waste any time and said, "Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to enter without my permission? Go back and pretend that I didn't see anything. There are still many things to do tomorrow!"
Zhang Xiaohua laughed inwardly. Qiu Tong must have thought of him as a servant. However, when he heard Qiu Tong's kindness, he couldn't help but feel warmth in his heart. He smiled and said, "It's me, Zhang Xiaohua. Elder Sister Qiu Tong, don't you remember me?"
As he said that, Zhang Xiaohua took half a step forward. The moonlight shone on half of his face.
"Zhang Xiaohua???"
Qiu Tong covered her mouth in shock. She looked at the face under the moonlight in disbelief. It didn't seem to have changed much from the past few days. However, when she looked at Zhang Xiaohua, who was a head taller than her, her reaction was the same as Qiu Ju's. "You … you're really Zhang Xiaohua?
I heard from your Second Brother that you were captured by the Tenryū Sect? "
"No wonder both of you have the surname 'Qiu'." Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself as he pinched his nose.
Then, he smiled and said, "Didn't I escape from their hands?"
However, Qiu Tong still didn't go forward. She hesitated and said, "But … why are you here?
Did the Archbishop of Lingering Fragrance Peak send you here? "
Then, he laughed coldly and said, "Miss has already been tortured to such a state by you and you still want to play this game?"
