I am a villain and have been captured. Why are the fairies asking me to come out?

A huge gray dark curtain came into view, and the girl's large violet eyes suddenly trembled, and her small hands that were holding on to the leader's arm gradually loosened their power.

She retracted her head again, and softened in the arms of the person behind her, breathing softly, her lovely pink lips slightly parted, and she kept murmuring.

"Sister Yi..."

Yan Mobai hugged the girl's soft body and knew what she was thinking. However, he still couldn't guess what the girl was thinking. Li Yulo said that Yi Niaoniao was not qualified to hold his hand, but in the end it was Yi Niaoniao who saved them. How angry he was before, how guilty he was now.

Not only her, in fact, when Yan Mobai saw the Zhoutian Xuan Mirror, his heart was also filled with waves. He had never expected Yi Niaoniao to do this. In a situation where there was no chance of winning, Yi Niaoniao was the only one with hope of survival. She should have accepted Shan Zhenzhen's persuasion to surrender and left Jiuling Town safely.

But in the end she left all her hopes to him.

After all, she was a different girl from Li Yuluo. With Yuluo's personality, everything was written on her face. She couldn't hide it from them, nor from the woman who was watching from hundreds of thousands of miles away. But Yi Niaoniao endured all the grievances and sadness until the last moment, silently hiding all her emotions in her heart, deceiving everyone.

How did they do that?

He thought back to Yi Niao's past experiences and suddenly realized that she had actually been experiencing the same things all along. The little girl had suffered countless grievances in the sect since her master's death. She would huddle in the small thatched hut at night, feeling lonely and sad. She would sit on the bed with her knees hugged all night long, and when she went out during the day, she would put on a smiling face to her master and elders in the sect.

Even after she reached the stage of Dan, nothing changed. The only difference was that the person who was making things difficult for her had changed, and she was still alone.

When did these days end... and because of whom...

Yan Mobai felt that he had vaguely grasped a clue, and he followed it, trying his best to think about the answer to the question.

It seemed like it was... when he first delivered the elixir to the door of her cave.

From that day on, Yi Niaoniao no longer needed to accommodate the profit-seeking faces of the sect elders, nor did she need to travel far to Yanyuzhou to fight for her life. She would return to the sect with injuries and pretend nothing had happened under the scrutiny of others.

From then on, her life changed. With those precious pills, she could stay in the cave and practice hard, like those disciples who had a master and senior brothers and sisters. She always had an umbrella over her head to protect her from the wind and rain, and she no longer needed to support everything with her petite body. She could secretly look forward to the next package quietly placed at the door every day, instead of facing the cold rock wall with sadness.

Compared to the pills in the package, perhaps she was more looking forward to the note in the package, although it was just a few short words, even Yan Mobai himself had forgotten what was written on the note, but he knew for some reason that Yi Niao Niao remembered every word clearly.

When the girl was most vulnerable, lonely and helpless, an unknown black figure held an umbrella over her head. The heavy rain hit the umbrella. She looked up at the black figure and felt that he was mysterious and scary. She huddled at the edge of the umbrella, but she still couldn't help but become attached to him.

In this rain that will never stop, he is the only one who holds an umbrella for her...

He finally found the right path in the maze, but the owner of the maze was no longer around.

Only then did Yan Mobai realize that his sleeves felt slightly heavy, as if there was something extra. He waved his sleeves and let it fall into his hands.

It was a small green sword with a small piece of it broken off.

He unconsciously stroked her smooth face with his fingers, which seemed to still carry the warmth left by Yi Niao Niao and her gardenia-like body fragrance.

The jade sword was a little dim, no longer as dazzling as when the girl in white robe first took it out. The sword energy sealed in the jade was no longer as sharp as it was then. A layer of white mist covered the jade surface at some point, and through the mist, he could not see the sword style in the jade.

This was not Baoyu hiding his true colors, but someone had placed a layer of restriction on it, blocking the sword energy inside and preventing it from summoning the Qingyun Sect Leader the moment it returned to the world of Jiuzhou.

He observed for a while and found that the arrangement of the restriction was very complicated, just enough to seal the sword energy from the sword cultivator. However, it also left an obvious flaw, and even Yan Mobai, who was at the Jindan stage, could easily break it.

In this case, whether to summon An Xiaoyu here depends on Yan Mobai's thought.

He stared silently at the jade talisman in his hand, wondering why she sealed the sword energy in the jade talisman and why she let him choose. He then wondered why she was able to use the Zhoutian Mysterious Mirror and why she could violate the oath to heaven.

Clues gradually pieced together a complete outline in his mind, and Yan Mobai's thoughts suddenly stopped. After a long time, he let out a low sigh.

……

"Good little dog...you are smarter and more pitiful than I thought."

The fire in the guest room flickered. Yi Niaoniao huddled weakly beside the bed, her amber eyes half-opened dully. Her white robe was stained with blood, but the silk blanket in her arms was not stained at all by blood.

Not far from her, beside the coffee table, a woman in a red dress was sitting there, fanning herself with a silk fan.

"Since you have already guessed that the young chief of Yuheng eloped with the leader..." The woman's voice was soft and gentle, full of sympathy and pity, "Now they are in love, how can you interfere? You use your own life to exchange for his happiness with another woman, is it worth it?"

"The leader... loves me..." Yi Niao Niao's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

The woman in the red skirt knew that the leader had sent pills to Yi Niaoniao, so she put away her silk fan and sighed softly, "Silly little dog, do you know that a man's love only belongs to the most well-behaved and beautiful woman who can please him in bed the most? It just happened to fall on you before, but now you have tasted the little chief's charm. You are a stupid little dog. You don't know how to act like a spoiled child or ask for love. Even if you try your best to please him, he will at most play with you casually."

“Don’t…don’t insult the leader…” Yi Niaoniao opened her eyes wide with difficulty, “He is not that kind of person!”

She lowered her head in a daze for a long time, and then began to mutter to herself, "I...it's not impossible for me..."

Blood and her weak voice flowed out from the corner of her mouth.

The woman in the red dress covered her mouth and laughed softly, as if she was amused by this poor little dog. After laughing, she walked to the bedside and whispered, "You sealed the sword talisman because you were afraid that An Xiaoyu would come and take the leader away and hand him over to the immortal sect, right? And you gave the sword talisman to him because you were afraid that my demon sect had other arrangements outside Jiuling Town, so that the leader could break the seal on the sword talisman in times of crisis and call An Xiaoyu to save his life..."

"You have really thought it through. What a pity! Your leader doesn't know that you cut your own heart meridian to save him. In his eyes, you are still struggling here, hoping that after he gets out, he can use the sword talisman to summon An Xiaoyu to save you."

The woman in the red dress caressed the girl's chin with her slender fingers.

"Guess... will the leader you've always loved break the ban out of kindness and call An Xiaoyu to rescue you, or will he abandon you mercilessly and run away with his little chief just so that he can spend the rest of his life with his beloved little chief?"

Hearing Shan Zhenzhen's words, Yi Niao's pale face suddenly turned paler, her wide-open eyes narrowed dejectedly, and her eyes became dimmer and dimmer.

She held the silk blanket helplessly, not knowing what she was thinking. Finally, she couldn't hold on any longer and lowered her head, burying her face in the familiar smell.

Chapter 130: No regrets

Yan Mobai didn't think that Yi Niaoniao had the ability to go against her oath sworn to the Heavenly Dao. That was something that even the Tianji Sect's supreme elder couldn't do. Even the previous Tianji Sect leader had never betrayed the oath he made in the name of the Heavenly Dao, let alone Yi Niaoniao who didn't have a deep understanding of the Dao of Fate.

If you want to make the Heavenly Dao Oath ineffective, the only way is to make the conditions in the oath impossible to meet.

And there is only one condition in the oath of Yi Niaoniao...

If she wants to fulfill her oath, Dan Zhenzhen needs to let her leave Jiuling Town alive.

But now the oath has not taken effect, which means that Dan Zhenzhen no longer has the ability to fulfill this condition... He doesn't know what Yi Niaoniao has done, but he can guess that Yi Niaoniao's life may have come to an end.

Just as Shan Zhenzhen gave Yi Niaoniao two choices, Yan Mobai now also faces two choices. One is to immediately activate the sword talisman to summon An Xiaoyu to break the blockade of Jiuling Town, and the other is to take Li Yulo away.

If he chooses the former, he will fall into An Xiaoyu's clutches and may never be able to escape, but if he chooses the latter, he can continue their escape with Li Yulo.

This choice was so familiar, just like Yi Niaoniao's choice to reject Shan Zhenzhen and stay with them would not help the situation. Even if he summoned An Xiaoyu to break the blockade of Jiuling Town, he could not save the girl.

Yi Niaoniao took advantage of the loophole in the Heavenly Oath and found a third way, but unlike her, no matter how Yan Mobai thought about it, he could not find a third option.

He clenched the sword talisman in his hand, which was warmed by his body temperature, and thought of the kiss that Yi Niaoniao had exchanged for with her life, the bones in the fire, and then the look she had given him when they parted. She was always lonely, desolate and wronged, with tears in her eyes.

He knew about her past experiences, so he knew where her loneliness came from, but he didn't know why this girl always felt so aggrieved, like a stray dog ​​whose beloved meat and bones had been taken away from her.

Why do you feel wronged?

Even though she was attached to the shadow holding the umbrella for her, when she saw herself and Yu Luo being affectionate, she should have felt unwilling, not aggrieved...

Yan Mobai is not the meat bone in her arms, he has never belonged to her. If a puppy sees the meat bone on the roadside being picked up by someone, all that will appear in its eyes is regret and unwillingness, because that was not its meat bone in the first place, even if it was picked up by someone, it would not have lost anything.

Why did she feel so wronged, as if something important that belonged to her was taken away from her...

Yan Mobai suddenly realized that the misunderstanding between them was not only about what happened in the Yuheng Immortal Sect, nor was it only about the identities of herself and Li Yulo. She might have misunderstood more things.

To him, all people and things were nothing in front of his and Yu Luo's future. He felt guilty for having used Yi Niaoniao so many times before, but he never hesitated.

But this time, Yan Mobai's thoughts began to hesitate.

What would the girl who was trapped in Jiuling Town...waiting for death alone want him to choose?

"Master...?"

Seeing the leader's expression, the girl keenly realized that things were not as simple as she thought. She looked up at the leader for help, "Master... why don't we go find Master An? Sister Yi is still in the town..."

Although the two might be caught by Sect Leader An, but with Sister Yi around, she would definitely not let anyone else harm the Sect Leader... The girl had her own little plan in mind. Compared to the two of them, who weren't even at the Yuantai realm, fleeing together, with a Sect Leader at the Lianshen realm backing them up, their future would definitely be much safer.

We must...we must rescue Sister Yi!

Just like what happened in Jiuling Town, if Yi Niaoniao hadn't been around, she and the leader would have suffered the same fate as the residents of the town. The road ahead might not be smooth sailing, and they alone would not be able to make it.

In addition, the girl also hopes that Yi Niaoniao can get what she wants. Her obsession and love for the leader are just like her own in Yuheng Mountain. And her life and the leader's life were saved by that girl. If Yi Niaoniao is abandoned like this, even if she escapes with the leader, she will still be unable to sleep or eat. How can one live a happy life with guilt and knots in his heart?

Li Yulo's thoughts were clearly reflected in her clear amethyst eyes and her tender and cute little face. Yan Mobai was so familiar with her that he could almost hear every word of the girl's heart.

He sighed softly.

"If Sect Leader Yi is destined to die soon, Yu Luo...are you still willing to save her?"

“Life, life is coming to an end? How could Sister Yi…” The girl looked at the leader’s face in astonishment, trying to see some teasing in his expression, but she only saw seriousness and earnestness.

A trace of sadness flashed across her large violet eyes, and she gradually understood the whole story. If Yi Niaoniao died, who would protect them from falling into the hands of Master An... The girl lowered her head, thinking of her previous anger at Yi Niaoniao for betraying the leader. Now she was standing in the same position, was she going to make the choice she had despised?

Li Yuluo hid her eyes with her eyelashes and said in a low voice: "Master...what do you think?"

"This concerns the future of both you and me. I can't make a decision alone. I want to know what you are going to do, Yu Luo."

The girl vaguely understood what the leader meant. She felt a sense of peace in her heart for no reason. She let out a sigh of relief from her pink lips, as if she had put down a heavy burden. She gently placed her hands on the leader's arms as she spoke softly, "I...will also listen to you."

The two seemed to have a telepathic connection. Although they did not say it out loud, they both knew the answer in each other's hearts.

Yan Mobai's hand holding the sword talisman was filled with blood. Before breaking the seal on the jade talisman, he suddenly said:

"No matter what happens, I will keep you safe."

Yan Mobai once had an identity in the Qingyun Sword Sect. He once thought that he would never use it, and he didn't hope that he would use it one day.

Once the seal on a wine jar is removed, the aroma of the wine will spread in all directions even if no one tries to scoop it out.

Once a secret is spoken out, in this world where prohibitions are rampant, it will eventually leak out.

As long as his identity becomes known to others, the Qingyun Sword Sect, far away on the other side of the ocean, will no longer have room to stay out of the matter. All the righteous sects will regard it as an enemy, and the situation in Jiuzhou will fall into a larger vortex.

If it were the Yan Mobai of the past, he might have changed his mind for the sake of the world's situation...but now he is no longer the same person.

Rather than caring about how the world is, he cares more about himself and Yu Luo, and the people he cares about.

At least in this matter, he wanted both himself and Yu Luo to have a clear conscience.

The white-haired boy clenched the sword talisman tightly, and the blood energy lingering in his palm dispersed the white mist on the sword talisman. A dazzling green light instantly lit up in front of his eyes, and a sharp sword energy soared into the sky, splitting the clouds and mist high in the sky with its majestic power, breaking through the space barrier, and receiving a vast fairy light from the chaotic void.

Chapter 131: Best Friend

A tremendous pressure poured down from the sky above, green sword light crossed the sky, clouds in the sky rolled back, rivers and lakes within a few miles radius were stagnant like mirrors, grass, trees, flowers and leaves all fell to the ground, and ears were filled with the loud sound of swords.

"It's such a strong wind..."

Li Yuluo was unable to open her eyes due to the strong wind. If the leader had not been behind her, with her small body, she would have been hanging on the tree by now.

The aura of the late stage of spirit refining was so overwhelming, and the person who came had no intention of restraining his pressure. If it were an ordinary Jindan immortal cultivator, he would have been forced to kneel on the ground by the oppression of the power. Only a body refining cultivator like Yan Mobai, or a body with immortal veins like the girl, could suppress the fear that came from the body's instinct.

Only a month had passed, and An Xiaoyu's cultivation had improved a bit compared to Biluo Lakeside.

The sword light was engulfed in boundless momentum when it was in the sky, but it was silent when it landed. The colorful fairy light intertwined and merged into a small figure. The green robe and black hair made her look like a sword fairy, but if you look at her face, she was just a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

The silk ribbon that bound her long hair shattered in the chaos and nothingness. The black and white mixed hair scattered in the air. A few strands floated in front of her forehead, scraping across her cute little nose and delicate pink soft lips. Her hair brushed lightly on the girl's cheek, but it could not completely cover her tender and moving face. Her eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, and her skin was as flawless as white porcelain. Given a few more years, she would surely be a peerless beauty in the world.

The Dharma image disappeared from behind, and the fluttering green robe gradually stopped. The little girl slowly opened her wine-red eyes, and her clear pupils reflected the white-haired boy not far away and the shivering girl in the boy's arms like a mirror.

After seeing the two men's faces clearly, a fierce murderous intent flashed across her large, childish eyes that did not match her temperament for a moment, but was immediately suppressed.

"Master Yan, Li Yuluo..."

How could An Xiaoyu not recognize these two faces? One was the famous leader of the Demon Cult, and the other was the chief of the inner sect of the Yuheng Immortal Sect.

She had heard about what happened in Yuhengli a long time ago and knew how the two began to escape and how they killed the second disciple in the Yuantai realm.

A deposed leader of a demon cult and an immortal cultivator whose cultivation level is only at the perfect stage of Jindan, but who is able to cross levels and kill Yuantai, it is hard not to wonder if there are some hidden means or helpers behind the scenes.

Now the sword talisman she gave to Yi Niaoniao was in the hands of these two people, but Yi Niaoniao's figure was nowhere to be seen, only a dark seal spanning the sky and the earth.

The seal covering Jiuling Town was huge and boundless, and Yi Niaoniao definitely did not have the ability to set it up.

Recalling the rumors that the leader of the Demon Cult and the chief of Yuheng had murdered the second disciple, An Xiaoyu subconsciously believed that Yi Niaoniao had fallen into the hands of these two people and was tied up and trapped in that confinement. The sword talisman was only to call her over and use Niaoniao as a hostage to seize something.

Silly Niao Niao, I told you to practice hard a long time ago...but you just wouldn't listen...

Now, she's been kidnapped... She's so beautiful and talented, what if this big devil secretly uses her as a cauldron to restore her cultivation...

Thinking of what might have happened, the little girl gritted her teeth. She was angry at her best friend's past laziness and was worried about her life and innocence.

How could Yi Niaoniao know that what the usually serious An Xiaoyu said two years ago was really just a lie to provoke her, and in the heart of the Qingyun Sect Leader, she was still his best friend.

The two have very similar life stories. They lost the company of their parents when they were young. An Xiaoyu is taken care of by her brother, and Yi Niaoniao is also taken in by a kind-hearted master.

But the difference between the two is that An Xiaoyu was raised under the care of her brother, while Yi Niaoniao's master was killed by the evil cult not long after.

An Xiaoyu couldn't imagine what kind of miserable state she would have ended up in without her brother's company. The more grateful she was for her brother's existence, the more she felt pity for her good friend. She was so willing to sacrifice her time for meditation every night to use the communication jade talisman to chat with Yi Niao Niao who was far away, and listen to her soft voice telling her about the troubles in the sect and the strange and bizarre storybooks she had found from the stalls recently.

An Xiaoyu was actually not interested in the fantasies of those mortals, but when she heard Yi Niao Niao venting her distress and loneliness to the tree hole at the beginning, and gradually becoming able to laugh while sharing the interesting plots in the storybook, she was silently happy for her friend in her heart.

Perhaps it was her childhood experience that made her want to take good care of this poor girl who had similar experiences to her own. That was why An Xiaoyu was so angry with the lazy Yi Niaoniao when they met two years ago.

As she wished, Yi Niaoniao put aside all her laziness, but since then, the communication jade talisman has never lit up at night again.

Even when they met again a month ago, Yi Niaoniao always kept her head down in front of her as if she had done something wrong, spoke timidly, and was so guilty that she didn't dare to meet her eyes.

Silly...
