The small courtyard where Gu Qingqing and the others stayed had a pretty good environment. There were quite a few rooms inside as well. Si Lin and Rong Ye had rooms that they usually stayed in. The two of them first helped Gu Qingqing choose a room for herself before helping her put her things away.
“Qingqing, are you afraid of staying alone at night?” Rong Ye turned his head and saw Gu Qingqing sitting obediently by the table and watching their actions. He could not help but walk forward and stroke her hair as he asked.
Gu Qingqing shook her head gently. She had grown up alone, so she would naturally not be afraid of living alone.
“The one on the left is Eldest brother’s room, and the one on the right is mine. If you need anything, you can look for us.” Rong Ye liked the way Gu Qingqing nodded obediently. He felt that looking at her like this made his heart melt; his tone unconsciously became much gentler.
Hearing this, Gu Qingqing looked at Rong Ye and then looked at Si Lin. After Si Lin nodded, she also nodded, indicating that she understood.
“Alright, it’s getting late. You should go to bed early.” Rong Ye looked at the sky outside and patted Gu Qingqing’s head.
After Gu Qingqing obediently sat on the bed, Rong Ye and Si Lin left her room together and considerately helped her close the door.
The two of them did not return to their respective rooms directly, but went to Si Lin’s room instead.
“Tell me, what is it exactly?” Si Lin sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He did not care about Rong Ye’s reaction and directly asked.
“Master received news that a devil cultivator has appeared in Qingfeng City, and it is very likely that it is a devil cultivator with a higher cultivation level. It seems that he wants to cause trouble in Qingfeng City. Some disciples of the nearby sects have disappeared without a trace in Qingfeng City for no reason, so Master asked us to come over and take a look. If there really is a devil cultivator, we will directly dispose of it.” Rong Ye saw that Si Lin had no intention of pouring him tea. He could only pick up the teapot and pour himself a cup of tea as he spoke.
“I didn’t find anything wrong with the place we just walked through.” Ever since they entered Qingfeng City, Si Lin had been using his spiritual sense to investigate the situation in the city, but he didn’t find anything strange.
“That devil cultivator must be crafty. Otherwise, those sects with disciples who went missing for no reason would have known about him long ago. Tomorrow, we’ll carefully investigate again.” Rong Ye didn’t find it strange. Devil cultivators had always been crafty, and it wasn’t easy to find them.
Si Lin nodded and agreed with Rong Ye. “It’s late. You can leave now.”
Before he could finish a cup of tea, the owner had ordered him to leave. Rong Ye glared at Si Lin unhappily, but when he thought of Si Lin’s martial strength, he was still ashamed and cowardly. He angrily placed the cup on the table and turned to leave Si Lin’s room.
Si Lin did not care about Rong Ye’s reaction at all. After Rong Ye left, he immediately set up a barrier at the door and sat on the bed to cultivate.
..
“Ah!”
A piercing scream broke through the sky and woke up the person who was sleeping.
The originally quiet night became lively because of this scream.
When Gu Qingqing was woken up by the scream, she was still a little dazed. She had memorized the sword manual for a while before going to bed and slept a little late. Now that it was only midnight, she naturally could not wake up easily. However, she subconsciously wanted to run to the door.
“Qingqing, are you alright?” Rong Ye’s voice sounded from outside the door.
Before she could walk to the door, the door was pushed open by Rong Ye from outside. Rong Ye immediately rushed into the room. When he saw Gu Qingqing, he hurriedly pulled her hand.
“Qingqing, are you alright?” Rong Ye asked again as he sized up Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing saw that Rong Ye was nervous and was a little confused. She subconsciously shook her head.
Rong Ye sized her up carefully and found that apart from being a little sleepy, there was nothing wrong with Gu Qingqing. Only then did he feel relieved.
Si Lin followed behind Rong Ye. Although he did not speak, he was more concerned about Gu Qingqing’s condition. When he found that Gu Qingqing was fine, his tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed.
Gu Qingqing looked at Rong Ye, then looked at Si Lin, and used her eyes to ask what had happened.
She only heard the screams and did not know what was happening outside. She also did not know why Si Lin and Rong Ye were so nervous.
“Do you still remember the youth we saw at the door?” Rong Ye took out a cloak from his interspatial ring and wrapped up Gu Qingqing who was only wearing a thin shirt. He asked softly.
She thought for a moment. It was the pretty young man. She nodded.
“He was taken away by someone. His guards are looking for him. That’s why it’s so noisy,” Rong Ye explained softly as he helped Gu Qing tidy up the belt of the cloak.
Hearing this, Gu Qingqing woke up instantly. She was even a little shocked. After all, there were so many people with the young man. Moreover, those people seemed to be quite powerful. Yet, the young man was taken away by someone. How powerful was the person who took away the young man?
“The person who captured him should be a demonic cultivator. Senior brother and I are going to look for him. Qingqing, do you want to go with us?” When they came, they had already said that they wanted to bring Gu Qingqing to see the world, and both he and Si Lin felt that they could not raise Gu Qingqing like a flower in a greenhouse. They should let her see more, but he still wanted to ask for Gu Qingqing’s opinion.
Gu Qingqing looked at Rong Ye in surprise. She did not expect that Rong Ye and Si Lin would actually want to bring her along!
She knew about demonic cultivators. In the village, she had heard a lot about demonic cultivators. She knew that demonic cultivators were very cruel and their cultivation techniques were very evil. They were the existences that everyone in the Mysterious Sky Continent wanted to beat up.
Moreover, every time a demonic cultivator appeared, it meant that something bad would happen. Demonic cultivators were also not easy to deal with. Although she knew that Rong Ye and Si Lin were very powerful, she was also worried that she would drag the two of them down.
She looked at Si Lin and asked with a hand gesture, “Can I go too?”
Si Lin nodded. Gu Qingqing’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Si Lin and Rong Ye did not delay and directly led Gu Qingqing to follow the mark Si Lin had left behind.
..
The three of them arrived at a desolate house in the wealthy district of Qingfeng City.
The size of this desolate house was relatively large even in the wealthy district. However, it looked very desolate and shabby, as if it had not been inhabited for hundreds of years. It was hard to imagine that such a courtyard existed in the wealthy district.
“The mark I left behind has disappeared. There should be an array formation here.” Si Lin looked at the desolate house in front of him but did not enter rashly. He sensed it carefully and said.
Rong Ye hugged Gu Qingqing and nodded when he heard that. Then, he looked at the desolate house seriously.
It was midnight. There was only the moon in the sky. However, with Rong Ye and the Si Lin’s cultivation level, they could see things clearly at night.
The main door of the desolate house had already become very dilapidated. One of the doors had already disappeared without a trace, and the other door had many holes on it. The plaque on the lintel of the door could no longer be seen clearly.
Through the broken door, one could see that the house inside was also very dilapidated. As if it had suffered some sort of disaster, quite a large portion of it had collapsed. The ground was overgrown with weeds, some of which were even half the height of a person.
Other than the desolation, there was also a sense of eeriness. In the darkness, it was like a monster that wanted to devour people, waiting for someone to come to its door.
They could not see much clearly from the outside. Si Lin and Rong Ye used their spiritual senses to check, but they could not find anything unusual. The two of them looked at each other, and Si Lin was the first to enter the desolate house.
