Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 360 Go to your senior brother to receive punishment
Inner courtyard, Cangfeng Mountain.

The graceful figure of the young girl was standing alone on the top of the cliff, overlooking the entire view of Canaan College from above.

Her eyes kept scanning the plants and trees here, but her gaze finally lingered for a long time on the small courtyard with bluestone and green tiles.

This is the only place she can call home.

"Sound Valley, Sound Valley"

He kept repeating this unfamiliar name, his eyes flickering, but in the end he lowered his head in self-mockery.
"I've come this far, paying such a high price but still haven't been able to get any information. Yet, in the end, you've always been by my side, determined and working hard. Is that so insignificant in the context of the eight clans?"

Hun Ruoruo was filled with emotion.

She didn't think she hated Xun'er at all. As she was very sensitive to emotions, she had actually noticed the other party's tit-for-tat attitude from the very beginning.

However, due to the erosion of her soul in the past, no matter how hard Hun Ruoruo thought, she just thought that Xun'er was subconsciously declaring her sovereignty and did not take it seriously at all.

She is not an ordinary woman. Even though she looks charming and beautiful, her inner personality does not allow her to compete with other women.

Of course, there is no need to do so.

Her mother's problem needed to be solved urgently, and the hatred she carried made it difficult for Hun Ruoruo to breathe. The life in Canaan Academy was indeed too luxurious for her.
"So be it."

Hun Ruoruo finally whispered after letting out a long sigh, then watched the familiar figure walk into the courtyard, and closed her eyes without any lingering thoughts.

In fact, she still has a lot to say.

There is someone who accompanies me every day, who tries all kinds of ways to cheer me up, who stands in front of me when I am bullied, and who is the first to come and share happy things with me.
It can be said that she has never had so many happy moments in her life as she has here.

Although she always says that she doesn't want to get married, after being a girl for so long, she is always vulnerable and needs care from others.

Hun Ruoruo has always been good at playing and putting herself into roles, pretending to have all kinds of emotions and desires, but in this situation, she could not resist it no matter what.

Only when she is with him can she realize that she actually has someone who loves her, cares about her, and is there for her.
It has nothing to do with love between men and women, she just feels at ease when he is with her.

so.

Once you say goodbye, you may never want to leave again?
The clouds rolled up the sunset glow in the sky, and the thick night and dusk were divided into vague boundaries. Then they slowly moved to one side and faded away.

The mountain breeze blew past, rustling the leaves and mixed with a few crisp bird calls, as if trying to keep you invisibly.

When she opened her eyes again, the girl's gaze had become sharp. She turned around and walked slowly and resolutely towards the shadow.

"See you again someday, Brother, Master."

"Wait a minute."

A gentle voice suddenly came out from the girl's ring.

Before Hun Ruoruo could react, the ring suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the surrounding darkness like a bright lamp.

In less than a moment, Yao Lao's figure sensed the target's location and flew over at high speed from a very far distance, arriving in an instant.

“Master, Master?!”

Looking at the old man in blue and white robe who suddenly appeared in front of her, Hun Ruoruo opened her mouth slightly, feeling a sudden panic in her heart.

"You still know that I am your Master!"

Looking at the girl in front of him with red eyes, Yao Lao's illusory body flickered. Without taking a break, he lowered his voice and said urgently:
"Girl, what on earth has irritated you? If I hadn't noticed it in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to find you right now!"

"I--"

Hun Ruoruo knew she was in the wrong, so she changed the subject with an evasive look:
"Master, you followed me. My disguise fighting skills have been improved and can definitely hide from the perception of the remnant souls of the Heaven Realm. How did you know I was here?"

"You still know that you are hiding it from me?"

Hearing this, Yao Lao was immediately angered and laughed, "Alright, then I will make sure you are punished with good reason."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, pointed at the ring and said:
"I, the master, knew that brat couldn't protect you all the time, so I temporarily placed a ray of my soul perception in the ring. Who would have thought that the first time it was triggered, you, a little girl, would take the initiative to leave."

"Do you think this is the result of good deeds and evil deeds?"

Yao Lao's words immediately made Hun Ruoruo feel very upset. She never expected that the reason she was exposed was because of an unintentional act of the other party when she pretended to have amnesia.

However, having said that, Hun Ruoruo naturally could not blame the other party for this matter, and could only secretly swallow the consequences of this defeat.

"I, I don't accept it!"

The girl, who had never believed in retribution for good and evil, felt powerless for the first time.

It seemed that no matter what she did, in front of Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, it would only turn into the simplest and most direct kind feedback.

How could she leave then?
"Dissatisfied?"

Hearing the girl's rather angry words, Yao Lao's mouth twitched, and the anger in his heart immediately disappeared.

I never expected that the girl who was once so cold and covered with thorns would express her protest in this way.

I have to say that since she recovered her emotions, Ruoruo's various behaviors have finally shown some of the mentality and temperament that a young girl should have.

This is really
He couldn't help but knocked the ring and said:
"Come, girl, tell me what you are dissatisfied with and why you left so suddenly without saying goodbye."

"Don't tell me that a single word from that little girl Xun'er could cause you to react so violently. With your personality, you definitely wouldn't be capable of such extreme behavior."

"."

Yao Lao's words were concise and immediately cut off any possible escape routes that Hun Ruoruo might have concealed, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

Want to lie?

Obviously there is no need for that.

Not to mention that hiding the truth from Yao Lao would do her no good, just deceiving her own master made the girl feel guilty.

She has deceived too many people.

The so-called weaving lies with the truth is nothing more than a means of comforting oneself, it is just deceiving oneself.

"I'm sorry, Master."

Hun Ruoruo sighed softly, pursed her dry lips, and then said softly: "Ruoruo has no intention of hiding anything from you. It's just that there are some things that I only learned about today. However, since Master wants to know, there is naturally no need for Ruoruo to hide it anymore."

Seeing Yao Lao nod, Hun Ruoruo paused and continued:
"I wonder if you remember, Master, but Ruoruo once told you that mother is not from the Soul Clan."

The calm words came, but Yao Lao's brows suddenly frowned.

Recalling Xun'er's previous nonsensical speculation, Yao Lao seemed to have a sudden realization in his mind and said in disbelief:

"Girl, are you saying that your mother is from Yin Valley?"

Hun Ruoruo nodded and said self-deprecatingly, "We've searched all over Zhongzhou but haven't found any trace of this powerful force. There's not even a trace left. Perhaps the only remaining one in Yin Valley is this. I should have thought of that earlier."

"The surname An is indeed a special surname for the direct descendants of Yin Gu. However, how can you be sure that your mother is from Yin Gu based on just a surname?"

Yao Lao stroked his beard and reminded with a hint of warning,

"Trying to find a cure when you're desperate isn't the best approach."

After hearing what Yao Lao said, Hun Ruoruo did not rush to refute it.

She squinted her eyes and looked into the distance, her vision becoming vague.

Soon, the girl's soft voice filled with memories, accompanied by the leisurely mountain breeze, gradually resounded.

"My mother's spiritual power is very strong. When it comes to attainments, even many people in the Soul Clan avoid her."

"She used to be just like my master, staying with me in a beautiful little courtyard, chatting and laughing. Sometimes she would even take out her bamboo flute and play music. As soon as she blew, the surrounding birds and beasts would gather around to watch. Now that I think about it, perhaps this is what Yin Gu meant by the way of rhythm?"

The vivid description made Yao Lao feel even more complicated and sympathetic.

Before he could say anything, the girl not far away had already bent her knees respectfully and kowtowed in front of him.

"Girl, what are you doing?!"

"I'm sorry, Master. Just consider this as Ruoruo's belated gift to become your disciple."

Hun Ruoruo lowered her head and said as calmly as possible:

"Ruoruo didn't mean to abandon you, but there are some things that you can only do on your own."

It was obvious that the girl's determination at this moment was extremely firm, and no matter how others tried to persuade her, it was of no avail.

"you"

Looking at the weak figure kneeling stubbornly in front of him, Yao Lao frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Are you afraid of implicating that kid?"

"Ah."

Without further denial, Hun Ruoruo simply smiled and said calmly: "Whether it's Senior Brother or Master, they are both the most important people to Ruoruo."

"Then do you know that you are also the most important person to your brother and me? If you rashly choose to go there, where will you put us? Just because you don't want to be implicated?"

Asking questions one after another, Yao Lao no longer had his usual kind face. His cold attitude made the girl, who was determined not to accept any attempts to keep her, feel dazed.

"Master."

"Let's put that aside for now. Let me ask you, do you have any knowledge of the secrets of the Sound Valley? Long before my death, the Sound Valley had already retreated from the limelight and completely disappeared from the continent. With your current Dou Huang strength, how could you possibly peek into its secrets?!"

"."

Seeing that the girl could no longer utter any words of rebuttal, Yao Lao finally came to her slowly, sighed deeply, and lifted the curtain of hair that was soaked with sweat.

"Since you call me Master, you should know that you must inform Master before leaving the sect, and you should also ask Master's opinion before anything else. Why do you insist on going your own way?"

"If the sky falls, it should be the master who bears it first."

Her pupils contracted, Hun Ruoruo looked up at the front, her lips moving, but she could not utter any words of rebuttal.

Her eyes turned red and she burst into tears.

"Master, I miss my mother."

"Yes, Master knows."

"Master, I'm really worried that something might happen to you."

"Haha, don't worry, my old bones have died once before."

"Master."

It was unknown how long it took before the girl's sobbing finally subsided. Yao Lao gently patted her back, and then looked at his clothes soaked with tears with some helplessness.

This girl.
After being alone for so long, I finally have a place to vent, right?
Knowing that her behavior was too inappropriate, Hun Ruoruo sniffed and then wiped her face with her sleeve without caring about her image.

After wiping away her tears, she looked at Yao Lao with slightly red and swollen eyes and said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, Master. Ruoruo was too impulsive this time. You're right. My strength is low now. Even if I go to Zhongzhou, I won't be able to make any waves. It's better to practice steadily first."

"Silly girl, now you are a little calmer than before. Otherwise, I, an old man, wouldn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to let you use that spirit-raising technique."

Yao Lao stroked his beard cheerfully and smiled kindly.

Hun Ruoruo quietly stuck out her tongue and said nothing more. The previous embarrassing scene was too much to bear even for her shameless face.

However, just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly heard a harsh cough.

"Ahem, little girl, your master has always been fair. If you violate the sect rules, you must accept the punishment. Even you are no exception!"

".?"

Hun Ruoruo's pretty face froze, and then she turned her head away with a guilty look, looking at the old man with a solemn face.

"Master forgives you, as for the punishment..."

Yao Lao's eyes rolled and he said slowly, "Then go get it from your senior brother."

As soon as these words were spoken, the already fragile string in Hun Ruoruo's mind was instantly broken.

"ah?!!"
