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

Chapter 358: Drifting to Beijing!

By the time the residents who heard the noise rushed to this remote hut, You Su had disappeared with the old man's body.

The broken bricks were piled together to bury the big man's body.

All that could be seen at the scene was an old sheep hanging in the yard, all the blood in its body having been drained.

The curious crowd stood outside the door, looking around, but no one dared to go into the house. Obviously, these people living in the desolate little town did not want to provoke unnecessary murder.

People were amazed and whispering to each other, discussing how this long-abandoned cottage could have suddenly undergone such a change, but there was not much fear on anyone's face, because such things were not uncommon in the tough and valiant Beiaozhou.

The cold ice and snow here will freeze the blood and hatred, making them have a very long shelf life. It is not uncommon for elderly people in their 80s to be killed in the middle of the night. When asked about the reasons, most of them are hatreds that the elderly had when they were young.

This is Beiaozhou, where beauty is unique and the world is filled with cold colors. The only colors you can see everywhere are black, white and gray. Most people are as hard and cold as the earth here.

People gradually dispersed without seeing the excitement, leaving only half a ruin. Anyway, there would be soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion to deal with such commonplace things, and they didn't need to wade into this muddy water themselves.

But judging by the speed of those officers and soldiers... they are probably drunk as hell, so we have to wait until tomorrow morning to deal with them...

……

The waiter, in the light of a candle that was about to burn out, looked dazedly at the guests returning late at night.

The guest was carrying a person on his back.

"Maybe you're not used to the wine in the city, you sleep so deeply..." The waiter laughed with his eyes narrowed.

He thought that the stingy old man got drunk outside and was then carried back by the tribesmen.

The guest did not answer him, and he felt bored. It would be dawn soon anyway, and he was too lazy to turn on the light, so he just lay on the table and took a nap.

When the guests walked past him, he secretly wrinkled his nose, complaining in his heart that these guests were really country bumpkins, always emitting a primitive smell like wild beasts - dirty and smelly, with a hint of blood.

He was so focused on sleeping that he didn't notice that the old man's body was particularly smelly of blood.

You Su opened the door of his room and saw a little white cat guarding behind the door menacingly.

Bai Ze had a good sleep, but he felt more and more restless. When he woke up, he found that You Su had "abandoned" him. It was the first time for him to go out of Cangshan Mountain. At this time, as an animal locked in a strange room, he was a little worried and scared. Although the quilt that You Su covered him with was very warm, he still wanted to accuse You Su of such irresponsible behavior.

But its anger disappeared when it saw the old man with his eyes closed on You Su's back.

It quickly moved aside and let You Su come in.

You Su silently placed the old man's body on the bed, and then pasted soundproofing stickers on all four walls. The atmosphere was so depressing that even Bai Ze was a little scared.

"Keep an eye on him. I'll go call them."

You Su gave a simple instruction and went out.

When he returned, You Su was followed by all the survivors of the Xuesang tribe.

Seeing the old man's body, the people of the Xuesang tribe were stunned at first, and then burst into sad cries. Xiaolu and Xiaowu even lay down beside the old man and cried bitterly. If it weren't for the soundproofing notes prepared by Yousu in advance, the crying would have resounded throughout the night sky of Beiji City.

Some wanted to rush forward, but were held back by their companions; some supported each other and barely held on to their weak feet. Their eyes were red, their teeth were clenched, and they suppressed their grief and hatred deep in their throats.

You Su watched all this in silence. After their emotions calmed down a little, he slowly opened his mouth and narrated what had happened.

"The Lord of Arctic City?!" the old men were horrified.

I was shocked by You Su's "feat" of killing the lord of a city, and I was also surprised by the layout of those people back then. Even the lord of Beiji City was a lackey of those people, so wouldn't they be courting death by running out?

They hid on the other side of the snowstorm for thirty years. These thirty years were extremely long for them who had no cultivation. But for the cultivators on the snowstorm side, thirty years was nothing. They had not forgotten that there were still some fish that slipped through the net on this side of the snowstorm, so they had set up a trap early on.

"Master Youxian... There is one thing I am really confused about." An old man staggered out, his face filled with grief.

"Please ask." You Su replied.

"If the city lord recognized the clan leader, then he must have recognized us as well. Since he wanted to capture the clan leader, why didn't he capture us as well? With his status, it would be easy for him to do this. But why did he choose to deal with the clan leader alone? And... he didn't bring him back to his own government office, but took him to an uninhabited courtyard? Is he... afraid of being discovered?"

You Su also frowned when he heard this.

He hadn't thought about it carefully just now, but after the old man asked him, he realized that there were many doubts in it.

Before his death, Patriarch Chen said that he was the mayor of Beiji City. This mayor could easily use his power to overpower others in this remote little town, so why would he need to act quietly alone?

And the most important thing is——

If this city lord was a lackey of the Snow Mastiff Sect's former employer, then his purpose should be to kill and silence the witnesses, and then let this past event rot forever in the snow.

Then why didn't the city lord kill the clan leader directly, but instead used such a cruel punishment to torture him?

"He is not a subordinate of your former employer!" You Su thought out the answer, "He tortured Patriarch Chen like this because he wanted to get something out of him. He ignored you because he was sure that only the Patriarch knew what he wanted to know!"

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded in a trance, as if he had not expected that after thirty years, the events of that year had become even more complicated.

"The chief knows something that we don't..." the old man muttered to himself, and then he suddenly realized, "It's only the identity of the largest employer back then!"

You Su nodded slightly when he heard this. After such analysis, You Su felt that the situation had begun to take shape.

The city lord probably wanted to know not only the identity of the employer, but also the whereabouts of the pile of divine radiance.

The forces involved in this incident are definitely not just the Snow Mastiff Sect and its employer. The pile of Shenhui Stone stored in Cangshan must involve more interests. Therefore, the Shenhui Stone that was brought back at such a high cost could not be sold for some reason, but it could not be sent back to its original location.

You Su frowned, it seemed that the road to the sacred mountain to file a complaint was more tortuous and difficult than he had imagined.

"But the clan leader is gone now, and we don't even know the name of our enemy!"

The old people were extremely sad. They hoped to atone for their crime of moving the divine stone, and also hoped to find out the instigators and avenge them. Those people had abandoned them, not only erasing their cultivation, but also forcing them to live in a bitter cold land for thirty years. This revenge must be avenged according to the blood of the people of Beiaozhou.

But it was hard for them to accept that there was no way to take revenge at this time.

"What was your original destination?" You Su asked suddenly. "The clan leader planned to place us at the old site of the Snow Mastiff Sect first, and then go to the sacred mountain to uncover the truth of that year..." the old man replied with a sigh.

You Su shook his head when he heard this. "It's been thirty years since the old site was built. It's still unknown what it looks like now. There may even be more enemies lurking there."

Everyone was silent after hearing this, until You Su broke the silence:

"Xiao Wu!"

You Su once taught Xiao Wu a few moves in the snowfield, which made Xiao Wu extremely impressed. So when faced with You Su's instructions, Xiao Wu obeyed honestly even though he was heartbroken.

"I order you to be the new chief of the Xuesang tribe! Take your people back at dawn!"

"Me?! Go back...?"

Xiao Wu was stunned, and the rest of the Xuesang tribe was also shocked when they heard this. It was not because Xiao Wu suddenly became the new tribe leader, but because of the order to go back.

"There are too many people out there who want to kill you. Going back is your best choice. When people die, there is really nothing left..." You Su's voice was low, with a sense of vicissitudes that was inconsistent with his age.

The people of Xuesang tribe looked at each other in bewilderment. They were very curious about the outside world, but novelty also meant danger. Many people were surprised when they heard You Su's words, but soon, they all agreed with You Su's point of view.

They had lived there for thirty years. Although it was barren and cold, it was the only safe haven.

What was even more difficult for them to accept than having to go in one day and then turn back was that their mission could not be accomplished.

"No! If you go back, who will accompany me to see the Dragon Palace?"

Bai Ze, who had been filled with sad atmosphere, jumped out. His worries were exactly the same as those of the people in Xuesang tribe.

"I'll go." You Su answered briefly.

Bai Ze's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect that the only person who had been determined not to go would become the only one to accompany it.

Everyone was stunned. The old man who asked the question looked at You Su, feeling sorry for him, and said slowly:
"Master Youxian...you have done enough for us...this is our own business..."

His words also reflected the thoughts of many people in the Xuesang tribe. Although this young man was a big villain on the wanted list, it was not the case for them.

"Patriarch Chen told me the name of that man before he died." You Su said softly, "You will die faster if you carry this name. He has protected you all your life. I will not let him down as he entrusted me with this. Now I am the only one who can do this. There is no need to say more."

"But...but you are also in danger of losing your life. Going to the sacred mountain...isn't that just courting death?"

The old man was worried. In his opinion, You Su, an outsider, was willing to take on this responsibility entirely out of guilt for the old man's death.

But even as members of the Chen clan, they did not think that Chen Yi's death was directly caused by You Su. Instead, they felt that You Su was able to avenge Chen Yi and bring back his body, which was a great favor. The people of Beiaozhou were all so clear about gratitude and hatred, and this was engraved in their nature.

You Su didn't say anything, just pulled down his collar and took off his sunglasses.

"If you didn't know my name was You Su, would you think I was the person on the wanted list?"

Everyone looked at You Su's face: the young man had a thin face with clear contours, and his black and white eyes were particularly deep; perhaps because he had stayed in the Arctic snowfields for too long, his skin was a little tanned, and he had a slightly rough beard on his chin and cheeks.

He didn't look as handsome as the man in the portrait, but his tough and weathered temperament gave him a special charm.

Everyone's behavior has already answered You Su's question.

"When I looked in the mirror, I couldn't recognize myself..."

You Su sighed softly, feeling lost:

"It hasn't been that long since I last looked in the mirror, but I feel like I've aged a lot."

"When I was little, I either walked by feeling the wall or just bumped into it without fear of death. There was always a day when I would break through the wall and find a way out. But there was nothing in the snow, not even a wall that could be broken. Before leaving, Chief Chen told me that his way of determining direction in the snow was to step on his front foot with his back foot. Well, I don't think there will be a better way for me.

This world is a little different from what I thought, and I am confused, so this trip to Mount Kinabalu is not only to help you, but also to help myself. After taking this step, I will know where to take the next step. I am not the kind of person who likes to stay where I am and wait. "

Everyone remained silent tacitly, as if they were getting to know this young man who was beyond their comprehension all over again.

Xiaolu had walked over without anyone noticing and quietly held You Su's hand.

You Su was stunned and found that there was something extra in his hand.

It was a small necklace, made of warm and delicate material.

"I made this using the horns of the little deer that came back with the great god." The little deer introduced the gift he gave to You Su very seriously.

"The horns of the snow deer will continue to grow, and they are stronger than the snow mulberry flowers in the snow. My mother said that the horns of the deer symbolize immortality. Great God... This is a thank you gift for saving me! Please accept it!"

You Su pursed his lips. He did not reject the girl's kindness, even though he saved the girl completely unintentionally at that time.

"Thank you." You Su rubbed the girl's head and the girl smiled at him.

The short night faded away very quickly, and light quickly enveloped the earth.

There was a noisy sound outside. It seemed that the city lord's death could not be concealed until the next day.

Everyone knew that they had to take action immediately.

The city gates were empty, and the few soldiers had been transferred to the crime scene.

The people of the Xuesang tribe walked back to the Arctic snowfield. You Susan, who came to see them off, was late. He gave Xiaowu a large amount of food and cold-weather items that he had just "plundered" from the city.

The people of Xuesang tribe waved goodbye to You Su with tears in their eyes.

You Su, with a cat in his arms, looked at the crowd going away.

There was no more confusion in his eyes. He turned around and walked towards the center of Beiaozhou, where stood the largest and highest snow-capped mountain in Beiaozhou.

The sacred mountain of Sohara.
