Chapter 279 The Witch of the Martial World 20
Qingyu raised an eyebrow. "Your emotions are fluctuating too much. But it's not certain whether Lin Shiwan has actually practiced evil arts, so don't make wild guesses."
This is your goddess in the story, and you actually did this...
Qingyu glanced at Hua Wuyi with amusement before asking, "How's it going with contacting those sect leaders?"
Hua Wuyi suppressed her smile and snorted coldly, "A bunch of stubborn fools. Don't worry, they won't escape my grasp! As for you, no matter what, be careful. We should proceed according to the original plan and keep an eye on the movements of the Guo family and the imperial court."
Qingyu nodded, about to say something, when suddenly her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.
It turned out to be a message from the system.
"Um... Guo Xiao and Lin Shiwan secretly came to see the people from the Demonic Sect. It seems he wants to arrange a cooperation on his own."
Qingyu chuckled softly, her eyebrows curving like blooming flowers. She looked at Hua Wuyi, her red lips curving into a playful smile, "Master, we're about to have a big customer."
Hua frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Qingyu didn't say it explicitly, but Guo Xiao and Lin Shiwan are still on their way, quite a distance from here and even the Demonic Sect.
Let's wait until they arrive before making a decision.
You'll see when it gets here.
"You're keeping this from me? Then don't act alone, and don't be reckless. Otherwise, doing so will only disrupt the whole plan," Hua Wuyi warned with dissatisfaction.
Qingyu was unwilling to listen to this, and stood up, saying, "I'm going to have some fun. You can keep an eye on things yourself."
Now that things are out in the open, her role is limited; these main characters can easily scheme against each other.
This time, Hua Wuyi didn't stop her, but stared intently at Qingyu's back, unwilling to come back to her senses for a long time.
We really need to speed things up. When the time comes, he can marry Qingyu as the sect leader's wife.
----------
Guo Xiao didn't want to follow Lin Shiwan's nonsense, but the latter talked a lot and finally convinced Guo Xiao with the sentence "The Demonic Sect may know the truth, and that witch is innocent".
If we can't get back to the Guo family in a while, let's try our luck at the Demonic Sect!
The two quickly headed towards the location of the Demonic Sect.
This was something Lin Shiwan had seen from her memories. However, when the two of them faced the members of the Demonic Sect and explained their purpose, they were still somewhat wary and afraid.
The members of the Demonic Sect opposite them exchanged bewildered glances. Finally, the Right Protector burst into wild laughter, "You think we'd believe you so easily? Who knows if this is a trap set by the imperial court?"
Lin Shiwan tried to explain anxiously, but the more she spoke, the more unclear things became. Just when the two sides were at an impasse, Hua Wuyi and Qingyu arrived.
Almost ten days had passed since their last meeting. During this time, the martial arts world had become chaotic. The sect leaders, poisoned by Hua Wuyi, could not refuse her proposal outright, no matter how many ulterior motives they had.
Therefore, there was no news from the imperial court or the Guo family.
Seeing this, Hua Wuyi waved his hand and asked the sect leaders to do things for him. Unfortunately, most of them had some backbone and refused, and some even passed on their positions to their subordinates.
Only a small number of the scoundrels surrendered.
Hua Wuyi was not surprised by this situation, but things were going well on Xue Lingyuan's side. Many officials in the court began to persuade the emperor to abandon the plan, and troubles continued to occur in the capital.
Xue Lingyuan seemed to have taken an interest in the royal martial arts techniques and had not returned for a long time. Instead, he would write four or five letters to Qingyu every day, which was quite annoying.
At this moment, Hua Wuyi stepped forward to greet the two who had come to her door. She looked at Lin Shiwan and Guo Xiao and a cold smile appeared on her lips. "You two have quite the nerve."
Qingyu watched everyone's expressions with great interest, but she suddenly met Guo Xiao's complicated gaze. She looked back, and the latter immediately shrank back like a turtle.
Qingyu became even more interested. She pursed her lips, her eyes shimmering with a captivating allure. "Young Master Guo, it's been a long time. Are you here to seek refuge with us?"
This was said in jest, but Lin Shiwan mustered her courage and said, "We really just want the truth. If the Guo family has been wronged, please tell us, Master."
While speaking, he secretly glanced at Qingyu, his longing for her growing stronger with each passing moment.
What a beauty! Absolutely stunning! *sobs* It's been so long since I've seen you!
As for the truth? She knows a little bit! But she can't say! Otherwise, how can she explain it?
Hua unintentionally blocked Lin Shiwan's view. His handsome face was as black as ink as he coldly questioned, "Why do you think we'd tell you? Are you stupid?"
Guo Xiao opened his mouth, knowing that his move was absurd, but it concerned the fate of the entire Guo family, so he had to try, even if it meant begging the Demonic Sect to save them.
Moreover, he always felt that Qingyu was not the kind of heartless person. He secretly cared about her deep down, and he idealized Qingyu through ten layers of filters.
Come to think of it, those terrible things that happened in the martial arts world back then were more than a decade ago. Qingyu was just a toddler then, so they certainly had nothing to do with her!
Thinking this through, he calmly said, "If you are willing to tell me, I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."
He referred to "me" and did not include the Guo family, which he considered a sign of sincerity.
Hua Wuyi snorted disdainfully, about to utter a sarcastic remark, when Qingyu gently tugged at Hua Wuyi's sleeve, her fair fingers pinching a strand of clothing. Turning around, she met those beautiful eyes, and Hua Wuyi's heart melted.
Qingyu said in a low voice, "Perhaps we can make use of them."
The male and female leads have amazing halos!
Hua Wuyi's heart stirred, and after a moment of contemplation, she said to Lin Shiwan and Guo Xiao, "It's not difficult for me to tell you the truth, but you two do me a favor."
He paused, then added, "I can also help the Guo family clear their name."
Lin Shiwan and Guo Xiao exchanged a glance and asked in unison, "What is it?"
A cold glint flashed in Hua Wuyi's eyes, but her expression remained indifferent. "Regarding the Six Yang Divine Skill... I don't believe you haven't heard of it. Find it for me. I don't need more than two copies. You know where they are."
Lin Shiwan hesitated. This was a bit difficult for them, even though they had initially ventured into the martial world for the Six Yang Divine Skill, and even believed they had precognitive memories...
But after all this time and so much, they not only gained nothing, but also disrupted the course of everything.
But Guo Xiao gritted his teeth and agreed. For him, this was basically the final moment, and he had no other choice but to agree.
However, he made one request: "I want to hear what Qingyu has to say; I only believe her."
These words not only startled Qingyu, but also almost made Hua Wuyi's murderous intent surge.
Another clingy jerk!
He wanted to refuse outright, but Qingyu agreed!
"can!"
Why not use words to order the male and female leads around? Besides, she genuinely thinks Guo Xiao is stupid. No matter what Guo's father does, it's all for the good of the Guo family. Even bad guys sometimes try to protect their accomplices, but Guo Xiao just doesn't get it.
Justice? Is it something to eat or something to drink? Shouldn't self-preservation be the most important thing?
