Chapter 1 The Ferryman of Azure Ripple Mountain

The Azure Ripple Mountain's Azure Lake ferrymen were always disciples who had made mistakes, giving them a chance to reform.

In Luo Yao's memory, this Senior Sister seemed to have been a ferryman for many years.

So, what great mistake had this Senior Sister made to be ferrying for so long?

Was she now "released from prison"?

"Indeed, the wind and sun aren't good..."

Luo Yao pursed her lips. Although she felt comfortable and curious, she didn't want to pry into personal matters, so she didn't continue asking.

However, she felt a little strange about herself.

Would her Shizun agree to a disciple who had just returned to the mountain to come and take care of her?

"It isn't good..." The other party took the medicine and said perfunctorily, but her body leaned closer to Luo Yao's mouth, as if to say, "Once you're done talking, you have to drink it."

Seeing this, Luo Yao gave an awkward, polite smile, while her eyes glanced towards the door.

Measuring the length of the ground with her eyes, Luo Yao calculated the probability of her successfully rushing out.

"Hey, Luo Yao, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Luo Yao, who was about to leave, was once again stopped by Qi Lan. Although the other party's smile was beautiful and harmless, Luo Yao felt a faint fear in her heart.

There's something wrong with this person!

As if not seeing Luo Yao's resistance, Qi Lan's face remained gentle as water, with a friendly smile. She was practically force-feeding the medicine into Luo Yao's mouth.

Forced by the bitter medicine almost pressed against her face, Luo Yao not only wanted to gag, but also wanted to knock it over.

Easier said than done! Luo Yao couldn't stand being wronged!

So, she directly stood up and smashed the medicine bowl. Then, she planned to take advantage of the other party's stunned moment to run out.

"What do you mean by this?"

However, as soon as the medicine bowl was overturned, Qi Lan's expression immediately changed. She narrowed her eyes, and the way she looked at Luo Yao suddenly changed, becoming creepy.

At this sight, Luo Yao, who had just taken a step, took it back in fright.

Immediately afterward, Luo Yao heard the other party ask in a gloomy voice, "Why are you so disobedient? Why do you always have to trouble others? You too, that person too, and Shimei..."

Seeing that this person's expression and state were even more wrong, Luo Yao, who had just wanted to escape unnoticed, now ran out openly, with a flustered look on her face. While running, she even shouted, "Help!"

She seemed to have discovered something extraordinary!

"Careful!"

Just as she ran to the door, Luo Yao stumbled on the threshold and fell out. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoyao suddenly arrived and caught Luo Yao. She raised her hand and drew the soft sword from her waist, blocking the string of beads that suddenly flew towards her face!

"Did you kill them?"

Lu Xiaoyao looked at the other party with an unkind expression, her hand holding a Buddhist prayer beads that didn't match her, and her hands becoming sharp and slender because of the fight. She said this directly.

She didn't mention names, nor did she say who it was, but the other party understood Lu Xiaoyao's question. Looking at the large group of people who had followed Lu Xiaoyao, Qi Lan suddenly laughed.

"Yes, so what? Didn't expect it?" Qi Lan laughed, her aura suddenly changing, directly knocking down a group of disciples who had rushed over.

"Yuanying!" (Nascent Soul stage of cultivation)

Some disciples with too low cultivation levels fainted directly from the other party's pressure. Lu Xiaoyao, who had not yet established her foundation, was fortunate enough to have the Sect Leader's protective treasure on Luo Yao, whom she was holding, so she was spared from being "blown up" at close range.

However, Lu Xiaoyao was still not much better, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her vision going dark, until Lu Gui stood behind her and supported her.

"You're actually a Xie Xiu (evil cultivator)?!"

Lu Gui's spiritual eyes were simply a cheat code. Now, not only could he see through the other party's cultivation level, but he could even see the evil aura flowing through her body.

"Xie Xiu (evil cultivator)?"

Just now, when Lu Xiaoyao and the others discovered that the corpse was tied under the bamboo raft, they wanted to find the ferryman to ask, but they found that the ferryman had been replaced. So, they hurriedly inquired and found this place.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoyao reacted quickly, first catching the falling Luo Yao, and then blocking the other party's attack.

It was fortunate that the other party had not fully revealed her cultivation level when she attacked just now.

Lu Xiaoyao felt a little dizzy, but fortunately her mind was still clear. She sighed that she had saved her own life.

At this time, Sect Leader Yuehua and Mei Shi also sensed the aura here and rushed over.

In front of the two big shots, Qi Lan's abilities were not enough. After Mingmei finished listening to Guigui recount what happened when she and Mu Chen entered the game, Mei Shi had already returned with Mei Jiu.

However, Mingmei's first glance fell on Mei Jiu's red little ear.

It didn't seem like shyness, but more like it had been pinched.

Mei Jiu, who had been unceremoniously dragged back by her mother, said that she was very sad QAQ

Although her mother didn't use much force, it was really embarrassing!

"Xiao Jiu..."

Mingmei didn't seem to realize how long she had been in a daze. She thought that her performance was not successful and had not attracted her mother's attention, so Mei Jiu was caught and lectured.

Mingmei signaled to the other party to ask how things were going, but Mei Jiu described it as going smoothly.

"Sure enough, there is an internal spy in Azure Ripple Mountain. That Senior Brother of Lotus Flower Temple didn't really slaughter the Hundred Herbs Sect. It was that Xie Xiu (evil cultivator) Qi Lan who absorbed human lives and cultivation to transform them into her own insidious methods. It only took her half a year to go from Zhuji (Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation) to Yuanying (Nascent Soul stage of cultivation) completion."

"Heavens!"

No wonder!

No wonder the reputation of Xie Xiu (evil cultivator) in their world was as bad as rats crossing the street, but there were still so many who came one after another.

Half a year!

Some people may not be able to cultivate to Yuanying (Nascent Soul stage of cultivation) even at the end of their lives, while Xie Xiu (evil cultivator) only needed half a year.

How could this not make people jealous?

In order to prevent Mei Shi from opening her mouth to continue questioning her and exposing that Mingmei had also participated in this matter, Mei Jiu appropriately shifted the focus.

"Qi Lan?"

"It's that Senior Sister who ferries the Azure Lake at the foot of the mountain."

"Ah?"

"Yes, didn't expect it? The other party and the deceased Senior Brother of Lotus Flower Temple are still Dao Companions!"

"Ah?" Mingmei was stunned. "Aren't Buddhist cultivators not allowed to have Dao Companions? Monks..."

"Yes, no proper Buddhist cultivator has Dao Companions, so, aren't they both Xie Xiu (evil cultivator)?" Seeing that Mingmei had regained some energy at this moment, Mei Shi didn't stop Mei Jiu from continuing to speak. In the middle, she even interjected to supplement some things that Mei Jiu said.

"So, the deceased from Lotus Flower Temple discovered that someone had discovered key evidence, and then continued to investigate, which may have led to Qi Lan, so she simply took action, right?"

Mingmei was also shocked to hear this.

In the end, the Senior Brother of Lotus Flower Temple was willing to take on everything after his own evil aura in his body erupted, exposing him. He was quite affectionate~
