Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 355 A home that cannot be returned to

"Meet the Dragon Palace Master?!"

Chen Yi and others exclaimed.

Even You Su raised an eyebrow, startled by the name of the friend Bai Ze mentioned.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Bai Ze raised his head even higher, with a proud attitude, as if all the gloomy mood that was suppressed by You Su during the battle just now was swept away.

In fact, if it were a human cultivator, even if that person had already reached the Huayu realm or even the Dongxu realm, being able to be friends with the Palace Master of Jianlong Palace would definitely be something to be proud of.

Jianlong Palace's status in Beiaozhou is no less than that of Xuanxiao Sect in Zhongyuanzhou, and its overall strength is only slightly weaker than Xuanxiao Sect and Qiming Sect, and is on par with the Savage Holy Temple in Xihuangzhou. However, Jianlong Palace is the only sect that dares to say that it is related to dragons, and it also has the longest history among all first-class immortal sects, which can be traced back to the founding of the sect by the five great immortal ancestors.

Seeing that the Dragon Palace Master's title was Venerable Qianlong, a woman could take out this title full of domineering spirit, which showed how strong she was. Not only was her strength the best of her time, enough to be called the leader of female cultivators, but she was also the top person in the list of celestial beings selected by gossipers, but her whereabouts were rarely revealed and she rarely showed up.

But what was infuriating was that You Su had found an expensive book of fairies in He Kongyue's study, which was full of portraits of the fairies on the list, even the portrait of his master's wife, Venerable Lian Jian. But the last page, which belonged to the Lord of Jianlong Palace, was blank, even more excessive than the fairy Wangshu wearing a mask. It could be said that she was as mysterious as she was.

You Su asked He Kongyue the reason, and He Kongyue told him an anecdote.

Someone found the author of the Heavenly Immortal List, Zhang Miao, the most famous contemporary painting master, and asked why they spent so many spirit stones but could not buy a true image. To this, Zhang Miao simply explained with a sincere heart:
"I don't want people to value the Dragon Palace Master's reputation more than her prestige. She is first and foremost an unrivaled strong person, and only secondarily a fairy."

However, someone still learned the truth after drinking with Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao secretly ranked the fairies and was about to publish a book and a painting to promote the list, which made many fairies unhappy. Venerable Qianlong privately criticized Zhang Miao, asking if Zhang Miao wanted her to become the public enemy of all female cultivators in the world.

Zhang Miao was frightened, but he insisted on his own opinion, thinking that this was just a comparison based on his own aesthetic taste, so why should he be afraid? Venerable Qianlong had no choice but to kill Zhang Miao to put an end to the matter.

Zhang Miao quickly expressed his true feelings:

"Under each page of the album, I, Zhang Miao, would add a sentence 'Spring orchids, autumn chrysanthemums, summer bamboos, and winter plums. Each excels in its own way and cannot be compared.' The only thing I didn't write under the title of champion is because I think that you, Venerable Qianlong, deserve the title."

Venerable Qianlong sighed three times, but still wanted to kill him.

Zhang Miao added: "The Celestial Fairy Ranking has existed since ancient times. Zhang Miao is willing to carry on the legacy of the predecessors and record the beauty of the beauties! This list is my life's work, and I will never give up no matter what! I am not afraid of death! I also know the great pressure of being the champion, but looking at the whole world, the only one who can withstand the pressure of this position without dispute is you, Palace Master!"

Venerable Qianlong didn't know whether he was moved by Zhang Miao's persistence, or was willing to take the pressure of being the leader of the celestial beings for others with the realization of "if I don't go to hell, who will?", and finally agreed to Zhang Miao's private ranking of her, but took away his portrait.

Eventually, this list of immortals became a fragment, but the missing top spot made it the most worthy of discussion among the eight lists of immortals in history.

Of course, due to Zhang Miao's distinctive realistic painting style and his meticulous painting skills, this volume of the Heavenly Fairies List is also recognized as the one with the most beautiful fairies in the paintings. This is an anti-cognitive wonder in the world of immortal cultivation that advocates "respecting the ancient".

All in all, Bai Ze's smug behavior is normal, as if to say: "My friend is awesome, right? Humph, that means I'm awesome too."

If it were someone else, they would probably be grateful for the blessing they had accumulated over eight hundred years, and regard the identity of this friend as an honor rather than simple pride.

"Don't let others treat you as a friend while you are treated as a passerby." You Su said casually, "You have been deceived here for 30 years. Maybe they have forgotten you long ago."

He has never even met the leader of his own Xuanxiao Sect, so how can this stupid deer be friends with the master of Jianlong Palace?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Bai Ze's eyes widened with anger when he heard this. "I, Bai Ze, am the spirit of the snow mountain. I never lie! She came to make friends with me on her own! It's just... it's just..."

"Just what?" You Su asked.

"It's just that she hasn't been here for a long time..."

Bai Ze's tall body shrunk a little, as if he was reminiscing about the past. But when he thought about how he had been locked up here and guarding the big rock for thirty years, plus the fifteen years after the mountain was closed by heavy snow, it had been forty-five years in a row that that friend hadn't come to visit him...

Bai Ze lowered his eyes dejectedly, and the hair on his body became darker. He was clearly a ferocious beast that killed people without blinking an eye just now, but now he looked pitiful.

Seeing this, Chen Yi could only shake his head and sigh, not knowing what to say.

"But ordinary friends will drift apart after one or two years of not seeing each other. But true friends will still be remembered in the heart even after ten or a hundred years of not seeing each other." You Su crossed his arms and said casually, "For example, I have a good friend. Even if we are thousands of miles apart, our friendship will remain the same when we meet again."

"Really?!" Bai Ze seemed to have regained his vitality, standing up on all four legs and looking at You Su in disbelief, as if he didn't expect that good words could come out of such a bad guy like You Su.

"If you don't believe me, ask him. Chief Chen, don't you think so?"

Chen Yi was suddenly called upon, and quickly nodded in agreement, "Friends who only drink and eat together and friends who truly treat you are naturally different."

Bai Ze rolled his eyes around and stomped his front hooves twice in joy.

"She seemed to be very busy, so she must have been too busy to come and see me! But she must still remember me!"

"Even if I don't remember, I will definitely remember it when I see you." You Su added. How could an existence like the Dragon Palace Master easily forget things, let alone a divine beast like Bai Ze? He said that just to annoy this stubborn little divine beast.

Bai Ze nodded his head twice, and there was less hostility in his eyes when he looked towards You Su.

"Then let's go! We'll go find her now!"

……

Chen Yi and the other survivors knelt on the ground, paying homage to the simple grave in front of them.

The tombs are located on the only way to Cangshan Mountain, with crystal snow pines growing on both sides. This is the first tomb on Cangshan Mountain. No one has ever dared to bury a body on the holy mountain before.

You Su leaned against the mountain wall behind him and watched quietly, glancing at Bai Ze who was lying on the ground with all four limbs.

Bai Ze had his eyes closed and his body was trembling slightly, as if he was repenting for his sin of murder.

After worshipping for a long time, Chen Yi stood up, brushed off the snow on his body, and invited Bai Ze.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I thought you were bad people..."

It is hard to imagine that a spiritual beast can have a crying voice.

Chen Yiyan showed a look of sorrow and shook his head, "We are all guilty people. If an evil spirit lands here and hurts people, those innocent lives will be killed by our own hands. So we knew very early that death would be a relief for us. Being buried in Cangshan Mountain is a treatment we dare not even think about. After we complete our mission, we hope that Lord Bai Ze will let us accompany him."

Chen Yi certainly didn't feel sorry for his companion's death, but he didn't blame the ignorant beast too much for his companion's accidental death at the hands of Bai Ze. He knew very well that the real culprit was not Bai Ze, but those people. If he wanted to avenge his companion, the most important thing to do was to pull out those termites hiding under the bright mask.

"Yeah! Everyone can be buried! Except him!" Bai Ze acted extremely generous, but he did not share his generosity with You Su.

You Su snorted coldly and patted the snow piled on the Mosong scabbard.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ze quickly took a few steps back, fearful and not daring to provoke You Su again.

"It's come to this, let's hurry up." You Su wrapped himself in animal skin and urged. Chen Yi nodded and continued to lead the way.

"Hey, go to the right."

You Su tapped Bai Ze's hind legs with the sword. Actually, he wanted to tap Bai Ze's butt, but Bai Ze was too tall.

"Why?" Bai Ze asked back.

"You are big and not afraid of the cold, so stand on the right to block the wind and snow for us." You Su explained as a matter of course.

Chen Yi and the others quickly waved their hands and declined when they heard this. With their status, how could they dare to be protected by the divine beast? Even Bai Ze himself was very angry.

"Didn't you say you would protect humans? Why don't you do it when you're asked to? No wonder no one came. Don't forget, you just killed one of their companions."

A bad boy needs a bad man to deal with him, You Su knows this well.

When Bai Ze heard this, he lost his temper and quickly walked to the right side of the team to act as a shelter. He even had some complaints about You Su in the team.

"Do you, little Xueling, know the reason for this sudden snowstorm?" You Su asked lightly.

"I've never left my house, how should I know?"

Bai Ze's unyielding attitude made You Su really want to whip it a few more times.

You Su looked back again. The Cangshan Mountain was almost out of sight, and the snow and wind were getting stronger.

"It's really okay to put the Divine Brilliance Stone here?"

"In short, none of you can touch those big rocks before you find my friend!" Bai Ze turned around and blew a breath at You Su, as if he wanted to freeze You Su to death.

"It stinks." You Su pinched his nose and complained, making Bai Ze very angry.

Chen Yi found the scene of the quarrel between the man and the beast interesting, but he did not expect that his journey of atonement would end in this way.

"Patriarch Chen, each of these divine stones is so huge, how did you move them away back then?"

With Bai Ze acting as a 'snow shield', the pressure on You Su and the others during their chat was reduced a lot.

"The divine stone is heavier than boulders of ordinary size, but this is Beiaozhou. We can tie it up with ropes and use force talismans to drag it on the snow." Chen felt melancholy when he thought of the scene of several people pulling a huge stone together.

"It's the same as a real snow mastiff." You Su said lightly.

Several people's expressions were slightly moved, but Chen Yi did not feel offended:

"Yeah...we were really like dogs at that time..."

"So you're ready to drag them back like dogs again?"

Chen Yi shook his head. “Originally, we hoped to kill the guard with the help of Master Youxian, to ensure that the Divine Brilliance Stone was still here and would not be moved away, and then we would head to Shenshan and report the truth of that year to Shenshan. But now the situation has changed, and we can go directly to seek justice.”

You Su nodded, "Then once we get out of the snowy plain, our deal is complete."

Chen was stunned for a moment, "Is Master You going home?"

"Going home..." You Su fell into deep thought. He didn't know whether he could return to Zhongyuanzhou or Lotus Peak.

If his fate was in the hands of that person, then everything about Xuanxiao Sect was probably under his observation.

Immortal Zhengyang used his life to give him a chance to avoid being spied on. Would he be exposed if he went back? Would it bring disaster to his master's wife and sisters?

You Su hesitated and actually hoped that the road under his feet would be longer.

"No! You have to go!"

Bai Ze jumped up and down, interrupting his thoughts.

"Why?"

Bai Ze was speechless for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he finally answered: "These people are all untrained people, how can they protect me all the way to the Dragon Palace? And they are all old people, so how slow will they walk? What if we meet my friend and the big rock has been moved away?"

You Su sneered, "Why are you pretending to be such a big shot?"

During the fight, You Su could tell clearly whether the Bai Ze was male or female.

Bai Ze was immediately furious when he heard this. This divine beast born in the snow really hated himself for not being able to spit fire and burn this annoying human to death.

"go away!"

You Su just wanted to put down Bai Ze's arrogance, and asked again: "Do you still need others to protect you? What about your own strength?"

"I won't tell you!" Bai Ze turned his head away angrily and ignored You Su.

Chen Yi stood there in silence, Bai Ze's words also caused him to think deeply.

He has lost his cultivation and has been isolated from the outside world for thirty years. Will he really live to tell the truth? Or will anyone really listen to the truth he tells?
The group was traveling through the wind and snow. With Bai Ze's presence, even if someone accidentally fell behind in the snow, they would be found quickly. As if to make up for the mistake of murder, Bai Ze was particularly concerned about protecting everyone.

Unknowingly, eight mortals and a cultivator in the Water Condensation Realm had miraculously passed through the blizzard area in the center of the Arctic snowfield.

You Su felt happy as he looked at the vast world. He could even see the black city wall on the distant mountain.

The tribesmen of the Xuesang tribe had been waiting at the agreed location for a long time, and Xiaowu had completed the mission assigned by the tribe leader very well. You Su still didn't know about their ability to determine the direction in the snow, which must be the secret of the Xuemao clan.

However, the tribesmen who had reunited after a long separation were not as happy as he had imagined. You Su frowned secretly. He could feel that their joy would come to an abrupt end when facing him, and there was a sense of fear and trepidation in their eyes when they looked at him, their benefactor.

Xiaolu finally broke free from her mother's hand and cautiously approached Yousu. She looked at Yousu's face with her bright eyes and asked tremblingly:

"Great God...are you a bad person?"
