Hidden moth

Chapter 153: Tears of Hope for Escape from the Cold

After being rescued, Wu Yanjun ate something and talked a lot with He Kao. He felt very excited for a while, but fell asleep in a daze after a while.

When it was light, He Kao woke him up. He Kao asked him if he couldn't leave. He patted his chest and said of course he could!
But when we really got on the road, perhaps because we had relaxed a lot, our bodies would inevitably feel a little weak in the snow, and sometimes we would need He Kao to pull us up.

Fortunately, the road was not far. After crossing a ridge and leaving the forest, there was a village. They did not stop in this village, but walked a few miles along the country road and arrived at a town.

Xiao Wu felt very sleepy, extremely sleepy. He didn't sleep well last night and was always in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. He was still a little drowsy at this moment and just followed He Kao mechanically.

He entered a house in a trance. There seemed to be a kang in the house, but He Kao did not let him sleep on the kang. Instead, he took him to the next room, asked him to take off his coat and get under the quilt. He lay on a bed... It felt so warm.

I slept incredibly soundly that night, and in the dimness of my sleep I seemed to have had a dream. The contents of the dream were often absurd and fragmented, with all sorts of inexplicable jumps and transitions.

The initial scene seemed to be still in that tree hole. After He Kao saved him, the two were talking. Later, the person in front of him turned into his master Zhang Yanfei, and the scene inexplicably turned into the original detention center.

As he was talking, the detention center turned into a room again. He seemed to be being questioned by the Shumen Zongfatang. As he was being questioned, the scene jumped to where he usually lived in Taigu City, where his uncle Ye Hui was talking to him.

After talking to his uncle for a few words, his junior sister came to see him... The junior sister seemed to be crying very sadly, and it was obvious that she had been worried about him these days.

Wu Yanjun said with his hands on his chest that it was nothing. It was not the Junior Sister's fault, but that someone with ulterior motives wanted to frame him. However, with his ability, those people were still unable to catch him...

He suddenly woke up at this moment, and vaguely seemed to hear some movement -

"You drugged him?"

"It's just to replenish his energy and calm his mind. It will allow him to rest well and recover."

"Well, wake up."

Just then the lights came on and two people were sitting by the bed... The old man next to He Kao was dressed quite fashionably, wearing a black satin jacket embroidered with gold thread, a modern ancient costume style.

Wu Yanjun then noticed that it was already dark, and quickly sat up from the bed. The movement made him feel sore all over.

He Kao took the initiative to introduce, "Xiao Wu, this is Elder Li Xiuyuan from the Zongfa Hall. He has come here especially for your matter."

"Hello, Elder Li... Hey, where are my shoes?" Wu Yanjun lifted the quilt and hurriedly got down, only to find that his shoes were missing.

He Kao: "Those snowboard boots of yours? After I took them off, the room got so hot I couldn't even get close! I threw them in the yard..."

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "He Kao, please help him get a pair of cotton quilts."

Elder Li asked Wu Yanjun about his experience in a friendly manner, and told Wu Yanjun not to worry, because his uncle Ye Hui had already arrived in Acheng and Ye Yuxuan was fine.

Xiao Guangnian, a Lingxi Sect sorcerer assigned by the Zongfa Hall, had already brought a group of people to control both sides of the conflict and was currently interrogating them separately. Li Xiuyuan had specifically rushed to Xiaohe Town to bring Wu Yanjun back for a confrontation.

The so-called conflicting parties are Ye Yuxuan and Xingshenmen disciple Fu Xiaoci.

Fu Xiaoci was the woman who had a conflict with Ye Yuxuan in Bingxue Village that day. She was also a second-level broker of Xingshenmen, but she did not reveal her cultivation level or her identity at that time.

This is also normal. Wu Yanjun and Ye Yuxuan also did not reveal their identities as sorcerers. It was just a daily conflict. Who would have thought that the other party might be a disciple of a sorcerer? Would they have to use any martial arts words when they quarreled?

As for the specific process of the conflict, the two still held different views. In short, the disagreement was about whether Fu Xiaoci had cut in line. Regardless of who was right or wrong, even if Wu Yanjun did say a few harsh words, it seemed that he could not be forced to say that he had violated the order of public punishment.

The masters of the art are not fools. They all know very clearly what occasions the collective execution order applies to and what its core purpose is.

The key point is Fu Xiaoci's other accusation, which can almost put Wu Yanjun to death -

Early the next morning after the conflict, when Wu Yanjun came out of the restaurant after dinner, he saw Fu Xiaoci again.

Fu Xiaoci is a disciple of the Shu sect and often practices in the morning. She goes to the woods outside the Bingxue Village and climbs up the snow slope to stretch her muscles and breathe in the purple air of the morning glow.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yanjun followed her and when he saw that no one was around, he approached her and asked her why her boyfriend had said that she was a hooligan yesterday? If she dared to say that to him, then he would really do it... Then he started to touch her and tried to do something inappropriate.

Fu Xiaoci tried to escape, but Wu Yanjun grabbed her clothes. She was forced to reveal her magic skills, and found out that Wu Yanjun was also a sorcerer.

The two had a brief fight. Fu Xiaoci introduced himself and asked Wu Yanjun which martial arts school he was from and who taught him.

Seeing that the other party was also a sorcerer, Wu Yanjun was unable to succeed for the time being, so he withdrew his attack in disappointment. He also warned Fu Xiaoci fiercely to shut up and never tell anyone about this. Otherwise, if he couldn't kill her, how could he not kill her boyfriend?
But Fu Xiaoci didn't come alone. Besides her boyfriend, her senior brother Zeng Hongye was also in Bingxue Village. Zeng Hongye had also come out to practice in the morning, and when he heard the noise, he rushed over and happened to see this scene.

Zeng Hongye then berated Chi Wuyanjun, asking if he knew about the clan law hall's latest decree against all traitors. He threatened to arrest him on the spot and hand him over to the clan law hall for punishment! Wu Yanjun was no match for Zeng Hongye, but the boy was quite ruthless, turning around and jumping off a cliff to escape. There was a steep snow slope below the cliff, and he slid down it, triggering a small avalanche.

The above incident is the accusation made by Fu Xiaoci against Wu Yanjun.

Zeng Hongye chased Wu Yanjun and didn't return for a long time. Fu Xiaoci was also very worried, so he returned to Bingxue Village to find Ye Yuxuan and wanted to ask her about her and Wu Yanjun's identities and origins.

When Ye Yuxuan heard about this incident, she panicked and revealed her and Wu Yanjun's identities, and believed that the other party was spreading rumors and slandering her!

Fu Xiaoci claimed that his senior brother had already gone to chase Wu Yanjun, and that bringing him back would serve as evidence.

Ye Yuxuan was also somewhat distraught and quickly called her father, Ye Hui, who rushed to the nearest airport and arrived in Acheng that same day.

Fu Xiaoci saw that his senior brother had not returned yet, while Ye Yuxuan called the elders over. She also notified another friend in Acheng, Ji Duqian, a third-level sorcerer of the Xinpan Sect.

Her boyfriend is also a Zhiyuanke, and the three of them got together and started to argue with Ye Hui and his daughter.

Because their accusations against Wu Yanjun were too serious, Ye Hui didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He planned to first find out the truth and then discuss other matters. However, the truth couldn't just be revealed based on Fu Xiaoci's words.

The two sides first held talks in Yimei and later went to Acheng.

Fu Xiaoci was using the tactic of procrastination, because Zeng Hongye still hadn't captured Wu Yanjun, so the two sides were in a stalemate.

What Ye Hui and his daughter didn't know was that Zeng Hongye had indeed gone to capture Wu Yanjun, but he wouldn't bring him back. So, in the eyes of others, Wu Yanjun's ultimate fate was to flee out of fear of punishment and disappear into the vast forest...

However, the plan of Fu Xiaoci and others was interrupted by Xiao Guangnian.

Xiao Guangnian was cautious in his actions. He did not come alone, but gathered a group of disciples from the nearby sect and obtained authorization from the Zongfa Hall from Li Xiuyuan.

As soon as Xiao Guangnian and his men appeared, they took control of both sides of the conflict.

At this point, Fu Xiaoci still refused to give in and insisted on her original story. In her opinion, as long as Wu Yanjun didn't come back, the matter would be unconfirmed and unverified.

She even questioned Xiao Guangnian, whether he should believe her, a disciple of the Shu sect with a clean background, or Xiao Wu, who had been detained in a detention center for a gang fight and had an unknown origin?

These words sounded very irritating to Wu Yanjun, but very hurtful to others!

Li Xiuyuan arrived in Acheng at this time, but before he had time to inquire about it personally, he received news from He Kao and rushed to Xiaohe Town.

He Kao brought Wu Yanjun to Xiaohe Town and made him live in the home of his second uncle Xiao Guangnian.

Li Xiuyuan was sitting by the bed waiting for Wu Yanjun to wake up. What Xiao Wu didn't know was that Elder Li was a sixth-level illusionist of the Xingshen technique. He had cast a spell that put him in a state of half-asleep and half-wakefulness, and had just "interrogated" him.

After Xiao Wu woke up, Elder Li asked him again.

Fu Xiaoci's one-sided statement was unreliable, but as long as Wu Yanjun couldn't be found, there was no way to investigate the matter. This was the other party's plan. But who would have thought that Zeng Hongye didn't catch Wu Yanjun, but Elder Li was the first to find him.

After another night in Xiaohe Town, Wu Yanjun was taken away by Elder Li on a horse-drawn sleigh. He had argued with someone while queuing up for the sleigh ride that day, but today he could have as much fun as he wanted.

Wu Yanjun was freed, but there were still two people wandering around in the bitter cold place.

Zeng Hongye and his foreign disciple Xiao Si discovered a lot of new traces near the river valley in the past two days. For example, on a high slope next to their camp, there were marks in the snow indicating that someone had been there.

It seems that Wu Yanjun had been nearby, discovered them, and secretly observed them from a high place.

Zeng Hongye immediately tracked the traces left by the other party, thinking that he would be able to catch Wu Yanjun soon. However, he searched for two days in a row, and although he could keep discovering the other party's whereabouts, he still could not find any sign of him.

This made Zeng Hongye a little furious, and he vowed to make him suffer after catching him! In fact, the development of the matter to this point has already exceeded the original expectations, and the mastermind behind the scenes should be impatient.

Zeng Hongye was in a dilemma. He couldn't always wander around in the snow and ice, but he also couldn't give Wu Yanjun the chance to go back.

At sunrise that day, he walked out of the camp and suddenly saw from afar a wisp of green smoke rising from the valley ahead. It must be someone making a fire... There was no one else in this ghost place, and it was most likely Wu Yanjun.

After going through so much trouble, they finally caught up! Zeng Hongye and Xiao Si were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes, because their lives had been very hard during this period.
