C105 The Storm on the Lake
Nan Yudia sounded a little lonely. It would be great if she could find the Poison Scripture and see Poison Doctor Zhen Yulin's descendant. She really wanted to regain her looks. Which woman in the world didn't love beauty?
However, the Poison Scripture was not that easy to find. Even if she could find the Poison Scripture, it was not certain if it could attract Zhen Yulin's descendant. More importantly, the Poison Scripture involved a lot of things. If Zhen Yulin's successor appeared, the power that participated in the competition for the Poison Scripture... She didn't want to give Qi Zhuohao any trouble.
"It doesn't matter. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I won't give up. Ms. Qingluo seems to know something about the Poison Scripture. Perhaps, she can guide us to find the Poison Scripture. Currently, the most important thing is the quota for the trial in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave."
Although Qi Zhuohao didn't really care about Nan Yudia's appearance, he was naturally happy to be able to face a beautiful face all day long. Furthermore, he didn't want to see Nan Yudia feel so inferior and always use a black veil to cover her face.
"En!" Nan Yudia felt very happy in her heart. She did not say thank you to Qi Zhuohao because between the two of them, there was no need to say those words. She would forever remember Qi Zhuohao's kindness towards her.
"Don't worry! Gold City's golden stone is opened. I believe that we will definitely be able to find that Poison Scripture and restore your appearance!"
Qi Zhuohao gently pulled Nan Yudia into his embrace. Previously, he did not have much use for the training spots in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. Because even though there were many treasures in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave, they could not enter Qi Zhuohao's eyes. He had the Fire Crystal Coffin and the Desolate Cauldron! Now, he was determined to obtain a spot. It was not for any other reason but for the hope of restoring Nan Yudia's appearance.
Lying in Qi Zhuohao's arms, Nan Yudia felt warm. Suddenly... She pushed Qi Zhuohao away and asked in a serious and angry tone, "Zhuohao, tell me the truth. You said you didn't care about my looks back then. Did you lie to me?"
"Of course I didn't lie to you. Yudia, what's wrong with you?" Qi Zhuohao was at a loss. Nan Yudia had suddenly gotten angry and even questioned him. What was going on?
"Humph! You still want to lie to me? No wonder you are so eager to find the Poison Scripture!" Nan Yudia turned around with her back to Qi Zhuohao. Qi Zhuohao could not see the shame and anger in her eyes.
Seeing this, Qi Zhuohao smiled bitterly and quickly said, "Yudia, what I said is true. Why do you suddenly suspect me? Is there something wrong with what I did that made you angry?"
"You are still quibbling. Just now in Sunset Hall, the way you looked at Elder Sister Qingluo was so infatuated. Don't think that I didn't see it. What? I saw a beauty. You left me aside. Tell me. Do you dislike my appearance, that's why you want to help me find the Poison Scripture? "
Nan Yudia still had her back to Qi Zhuohao. Actually, she was not really angry. She was testing Qi Zhuohao. Furthermore, she was lying in Qi Zhuohao's arms just now. She felt that somewhere in Qi Zhuohao's arms was holding her back. She was extremely embarrassed. She used this opportunity to escape.
Nan Yudia could clearly feel Qi Zhuohao's feelings for her. She would not doubt Qi Zhuohao unless Qi Zhuohao personally said that he did not like her and did not love her. Otherwise, she would follow Qi Zhuohao for the rest of her life, never leaving him!
"Yudia, how could I despise your appearance? I swear that every word I say to you is true. If you don't want to restore your appearance, then I won't go and look for the Poison Scripture. No matter what your appearance is like? I will love you for the rest of my life. If I break this oath, I will look for the heavens... "
Nan Yudia quickly turned around and reached out her hand to block Qi Zhuohao's mouth. She was a little regretful that she almost caused Qi Zhuohao to make a poisonous oath. For a martial artist, swearing was not so easy. An oath was witnessed by the Heavenly Dao. If one broke it, they would suffer a backlash!
The world of martial artists was not like the mortal world, especially oaths. The backlash from an oath was no small matter. It was still alright if one's realm was lower. If one's realm was high, they would very likely be punished by heaven. His body and Dao vanished.
There was a legend circulating in Hongwu Continent. It was said that tens of thousands of years ago, when he was about to step into the peak of martial artists, heavenly punishment suddenly appeared. When he died, he finally understood that it was because of a vow he made when he was young. Not only did he fail at the last step, but he also died because of it. There really was a Heavenly Dao deity in the underworld!
Therefore, the experts who witnessed the world-shocking expert fall under the heavenly punishment spread the saying that 'a martial artist should be cautious when swearing to go against everything once and for all' in order to warn the world.
"Zhuohao, I believe you!" Nan Yudia was very touched. Qi Zhuohao had studied the notes of Hongwu and naturally knew that swearing was not as simple as eating cabbage to a warrior. Qi Zhuohao was willing to swear a poisonous oath to eliminate her suspicion, which was enough.
Qi Zhuohao once again pulled Nan Yudia into his arms, but this time. He did not have any impure thoughts, so... The dilemma from last time did not appear. The two of them hugged each other for a long time. Only then did they reluctantly return to their respective attics to rest...
Time passed by in a flash. The warm sun of the second day had already shone on the peak of Afterglow Peak. When he knocked on the door, Qi Zhuohao got up, put on his clothes, and washed up. He and Nan Yudia walked towards the square. Today, they were going to head to the Heavenly Nether Peak.
The competition for the Afterglow Peak's battlefield had ended. However, today's battle in the core square was still a disaster. The core disciples of Afterglow Peak had come to send Qi Zhuohao and the other two disciples off, wishing them all good results.
It had to be said that the disciples of Afterglow Peak were quite united. Although the competition a few days ago was fierce, it had already passed. As disciples of the Afterglow Peak, they all hoped that Qi Zhuohao and the other two could enter the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. This was the glory of the Afterglow Peak!
"Alright, Qi Zhuohao, Nan Yudia, and Lei Yunhai. Since the three of you have arrived, we will set off now and head to the Heavenly Nether Peak!" Du Qingluo raised her hand and interrupted the cheers of the disciples. Her tone was very serious.
Hearing this, Qi Zhuohao and the other two quickly nodded their heads and followed Du Qingluo's footwork down the mountain. The geniuses of the Nine Peaks had gathered in the Heavenly Nether Peak. This competition was definitely going to be a fierce battle. Who would be the winner of the trial in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave?
On the emerald green Sobbing Wind Lake, the lake wind was whistling. A small bamboo raft left the shore. Carrying Qi Zhuohao and the other three, it slowly moved forward. It was so tiny in the Sobbing Wind Lake in Guangliao. It was as if it could be sunk by the sudden waves of the lake at any time!
Qi Zhuohao, Nan Yudia, and Lei Yunhai were all very surprised. The ferryman on the ferryboat was actually an old man in armor. The realm of this old man shocked Qi Zhuohao and the other two.
"A Essence Incarnating Expert actually fooled a boatman in the Weeping Wind Lake. What's going on?"
Qi Zhuohao was very puzzled. Furthermore, this old boatman seemed to be very familiar with Du Qingluo. Adding the fact that he was from the Afterglow Peak Inner Sect's Essence Martial Hall, Qi Zhuohao felt that Du Qingluo was not simple at all!
Of course, although Qi Zhuohao was full of doubts, he did not open his mouth to ask. There was no other reason. They still had Lei Yunhai by their side. There were some things that they could not let others know.0
"Yo! Junior Qingluo also came so early? Eh? Your Afterglow Peak knows that you will lose, so you used a bamboo raft to ride?"
Suddenly, a mocking voice was heard. Following that, a huge wooden boat was drawn out from the corner in front of them. There were four people standing on the deck of the wooden boat. One was a young man and the other was a young man. They were the Peak Lord, Luo Ding and the others from the Cloud Piercing Peak.
Qi Zhuohao had some impression of this Luo Ding. Back in the Pingding Mountain, Luo Ding was the one who spoke the most words in the Peak Lord of the Nine Peaks. Furthermore, Luo Ding was proud and arrogant. He believed that the Cloud Piercing Peak was the leader of the Nine Peaks, and he always fought for Du Qingluo.
By now, Qi Zhuohao already knew that the Cloud Piercing Peak was also the power of the Third Elder. In the Nine Peaks, other than the Cloud Piercing Peak and the Wilted Wood Peak, the Third Elder, Shen Ba, also had the Forgetting Worry Peak and the Great Yuan Peak.
The small islands around them were filled with waves. Du Qingluo only looked at Luo Ding and the other three people on the wooden boat indifferently, but didn't reply. Not long after that, the wooden boat stopped in front of the bamboo raft, blocking the path of the raft.
"Senior Brother Luo. Oh, no, Luo Peak Lord, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that you wish to make a move against me here? "
Du Qingluo's face gradually darkened. She originally did not want to bother with Luo Ding. However, she didn't expect this Luo Ding to take the initiative to provoke her. Currently, neither of the two major powers of Thousand Searching Sect wanted to have a conflict with each other. Was Luo Ding trying to break the peace?
"Junior Qingluo, don't overthink it. I'm just here to greet you." The gloomy face instantly turned into a smile. Luo Ding no longer paid attention to Du Qingluo. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Qi Zhuohao and the other two.
"En, this girl is called Nan Yudia. I still remember her name. Eh? Lei Good Nephew, you are also here?" Luo Ding looked at Nan Yudia's words with sarcasm, as if he was still angry that Nan Yudia did not join his Cloud Piercing Peak.
What Luo Ding said to Lei Yunhai, however, was full of praise. It was not difficult to tell that he and Lei Yunhai not only knew each other, but also knew each other very well. From this, Qi Zhuohao could also guess that the Lei family in the county city must have a deep relationship with Luo Ding.
This was also what Qi Zhuohao was puzzled about. Why didn't Lei Yunhai go to the Cloud Piercing Peak, but chose to join the Afterglow Peak instead?
Nan Yudia didn't even look at Luo Ding, but Lei Yunhai nodded slightly at him. Of course, he didn't reply. Seeing this, Luo Ding fixed his eyes on Qi Zhuohao. After that, he pretended to be surprised and said, What?" Aiya! Isn't this the useless Qi Zhuohao from back then? I heard that you have obtained the ultimate treasure of the Wilted Wood Peak. What's wrong? You still dare to show off everywhere? "
" Hehe! Back then, you relied on someone else's recommendation to enter the Thousand Searching Sect. I never thought that you would grow to such an extent in just two short years. Qi Zhuohao, this trash of yours really makes many disciples envious. Salted Fish can indeed turn the tables! "Obviously, Luo Ding knew everything about Qi Zhuohao very well. Zhu Tianrong wasn't the only one who paid attention to Qi Zhuohao.
When he heard Luo Ding's sarcastic and even murderous words, Qi Zhuohao was burning with anger. He believed that Luo Ding and Zhu Tianrong were birds of the same feather, and they were extremely envious of the Desolate Cauldron in his body.
"Qi Peak Lord, you shouldn't have asked about this matter, so I won't trouble you to worry about it. I, Qi Zhuohao, can't bear it!" Forcibly suppressing his anger that was about to explode, Qi Zhuohao replied with an indifferent tone. It wasn't hard to tell that his tone was filled with disdain towards Luo Ding!
"How dare you, a puny disciple, speak to me in such a tone? Are you courting death?!"
Luo Ding seemed to have long been prepared for what he wanted to do. Furthermore, it seemed like he was targeting Qi Zhuohao. Before he could finish his words, he had already sent a palm strike towards Qi Zhuohao. When he saw that Luo Ding had attacked Qi Zhuohao because of a disagreement, the old ferryman standing in front of the bamboo raft snorted coldly. He gently waved the bamboo pole in his hand, causing the lake water to splash in all directions. The golden Yuan energy palm light instantly shattered and disappeared...
