Chapter 1016: Bait
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It had just rained at the Holy Mountain. The sky was clear and the mountain path was muddy.
Cheng Qingxue had just walked around the courtyard when her skirt was covered in mud.
She frowned unhappily. “How much longer are we going to stay here?”
“Do you want to go home?”
The Saintess walked over from behind the corridor.
Cheng Qingxue called her sister and quickly stepped forward. “I’m already fine. There’s no need to continue to detoxify.” “I’ll arrange for someone to send you home later.”
“Aren’t you going back with me?”
“I still have things to do.”
Cheng Qingxue lowered her head and fell silent.
The Saintess took in her expression. “You don’t want to go back?”
Cheng Qingxue said aggrievedly, “I do, but I don’t dare to.”
The Saintess saw her worry and said seriously, “You’re the daughter of the Cheng family. It’s only right for you to return to the Cheng family. Why wouldn’t you dare?”
Cheng Qingxue hesitated. “Dad..
The Saintess said, “No matter how he treats you, he can’t change the fact that your surname is Cheng.”
Cheng Qingxue felt even more aggrieved. “Will Dad ignore me from now on?”
Cheng Qingxue had been doted on by Xie Yunhe since she was young. She liked her father very much and could not accept that she was not her father’s biological daughter.
She looked at the Saintess with red eyes. “Sister, do you think Father treated me and Mother like that in a fit of anger?”
She hoped that their family could still be like before.
However, the Saintess understood that this was impossible.
“If you don’t want to go back, stay here for a few more days.”
With that, she went to the study.
She was overwrought by a lot of things and did not have the energy to take care of her sister’s emotions.
Emissary Lu had already arrived at the mine. She wondered if she had found the information she wanted.
“Who’s there!”
A disciple suddenly shouted from the herb garden.
Right on the heels of that, the Holy Maiden heard the sound of a disciple fighting a stranger. About ten moves later, the disciple let out an injured groan.
The Saintess’ eyes turned cold as she leaped into the herb garden.
As soon as she entered, a disciple was sent flying towards her.
She reached out and supported her disciple.
The disciple stabilized herself and turned around. She immediately bowed.
“Saintess! Someone came to steal herbs! Masters are all injured!”
The Saintess looked at the medicinal garden disciple on the ground and then at the two uninvited guests pulling herbs in the garden. With a flick of her finger, she shot out several silver needles.
Surprisingly, the two of them dodged.
The two of them probably saw that she was not to be trifled with, so they plucked the herbs and ran.
The Saintess did not plan to chase after them personally.
However, at this moment, one of the thieves’ masks was scraped off by a tree branch.
He turned to scoop up the mask.
The Saintess took a look and was instantly stunned.
“It’s him?”
It was the young man who appeared with Wei Xu that night. He looked 50% similar to Wei Xu.
The Saintess used her qinggong to chase after him.
The two of them left the Holy Mountain and snatched two high-grade horses from the horse shed of the Holy Maiden Temple before riding away.
The Saintess picked a horse and chased after it.
The two of them arrived at the bustling city.
The Holy Maiden relied on her understanding of the terrain to change lanes and kill her way out of a small alley.
Wei Liulang and Wei Ting hurriedly tightened their reins. The hooves rubbed against the ground and finally stopped.
The Saintess whipped the two of them.
Wei Liulang raised his right arm to block.
He managed to block the attack, but half of his body was numb.
He finally understood how terrifying this woman was.
Fortunately, he did not say that he would deal with her alone. Otherwise, how could he survive?
He gave Wei Ting a look.
There was a tacit understanding between brothers.
Wei Ting turned around and rushed towards the alley diagonally opposite.
The Saintess’ target was Wei Ting.
Wei Liulang stopped her twice. It was really only twice.
He did his best.
He covered his chest in pain and looked at the Saintess who had left. He gritted his teeth and chased after her.
Wei Ting’s martial arts attainment might not be as good as the Saintess’, but his riding skills were unparalleled.
Whenever the Saintess felt that she was going to catch up to the other party, he slipped away cunningly.
She was furious. She blew her bone whistle and summoned her falcon.
As long as falcon was watching him, she was not afraid that she would lose him!
Not far away, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Xu were motionless on a roof.
There was also a blue parrot and a powerful golden eagle. When she heard that familiar eagle cry, Su Xiaoxiao immediately said to Wuhu,
Wuhu flapped its small wings and flew towards the falcon.
The falcon had been specially domesticated and would not give up its mission easily.
However, it could not resist this little parrot’s teasing.
Wuhu kept charging at it!
It even ran to peck its butt and slap its head.
The falcon clawed at the Wuhu.
The feathers of Wuhu exploded.
Brother Eagle!
The golden eagle flapped its wings and flew high. Like a swift and fierce lightning, it suddenly swooped down!
The falcon’s feathers were knocked off and it flew crooked in the air for a long time before stabilizing.
The falcon did not dare to fight the golden eagle and wanted to escape dejectedly.
Unexpectedly, the golden eagle refused to let it go and chased it all the way to Xie Jinnian’s courtyard.
Xie Jinnian was feeding the black crow.
Wuhu gestured at the golden eagle with his small wings.
The golden eagle caught the falcon in its mouth and stopped on the high branch.
Wuhu gathered its emotions and rolled on the ground, making it look like it had been ravaged. It flew towards Xie Jinnian in panic.
Xie Jinnian raised his hand to catch it.
It plunged into Xie Jinnian’s arms, and the entire bird trembled!
The golden eagle spat out the falcon and flapped it away!
Xie Jinnian looked up and saw a falcon whistling past.
He gently stroked the frightened parrot in his arms, and a meaningful look flashed across his eyes. “The Saintess’ falcon? Someone.”
A figure suddenly flashed out of the originally empty courtyard. “Master.”
Xie Jinnian carried the parrot and said, “Go and see what’s going on. Pay attention to your surroundings. Don’t let anyone discover you. ”
“Yes!”
The Saintess chased after Wei Ting and looked at the falcon above her head from time to time.
But strangely, the falcon was gone.
Not long after, the falcon returned.
She was on the horse and could not see falcon’s sorry state clearly. She thought that the falcon had gone after Wei Ting.
The falcon caught up to Wei Ting again.
The Saintess chased after falcon all the way out of the east city gate.
When the golden eagle flew back, Su Xiaoxiao knew that the mission was completed and gave it three pieces of bird food.
Wei Ting had yet to feed Wei Xu his medicine as the latter had slept for two days.
Wei Xu lay on the roof and glared fiercely at the golden eagle opposite him.
He wanted to pluck its feathers.
The golden eagle was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Wei Xu, “Dad, let’s go. Wei Ting and Sixth Brother probably won’t be able to delay the Saintess for long. We have to hurry. It’s best if we can reach the mine before the Saintess. Otherwise, we might…”
Before Su Xiaoxiao could finish, she was blown into a fat sad frog by the strong wind.
It was dark.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Xu arrived at the foot of the mine.
Su Xiaoxiao spat out a mouthful of dust like a soulless puppet.. “Dad, you might not believe me, but after being pregnant for so long, this is the first time I’ve had morning sickness… Ugh…”
