The disciple rushed to ng Qi side and reached out to grab her arm. ng Qi avoided his hand and asked calmly: “What happened?”
Seeing ng Qi avoided his hand and her calm, indifferent face, the disciple subconsciously frowned. After a while, he spoke again, this ti more calmly. “The fellow disciples who got injured by the immortal devouring vine suddenly collapsed. Junior sister ng, you also saw that they were alright before. But after returning to the sect, they suddenly collapsed in pain. The first one who showed the symptoms is junior sister Lan Zhuxuan.” When ntioning Lan Zhuxuan’s na, the disciple deliberately increased his tone. He observed ng Qi attentively, as if wanting to see her reaction.
“After that?” ng Qi asked calmly. She resud her walk towards the sect gate. “Besides extre pain, are there any other symptoms?”
“Other symptoms?” The disciple was stunned, “Afterward, the sect leader and elders ca to look at them. Elder Lu imdiately sent us to find you, so we don’t know.”
ng Qi: “…” She hastened her steps.
Qin Xiumo was obviously also tagging along. He walked calmly on ng Qi’s right side, separating her from the Qingfeng Valley’s disciple. Qin Xiumo curled his lips mockingly. His eyes flashed in ridicule: “How about Fentian Palace’s disciples who were also injured by the vine?”
The disciple once again stupefied. He took a glance at ng Qi before hesitantly answered: “They…they seem to be fine.”
Qin Xiumo chuckled pleasantly.
Although the disciple was angry, he also knew that he wasn’t Qin Xiumo’s opponent. Even their sect master couldn’t do anything to this man. The disciple could only swallow his dissatisfaction and kept walking sullenly.
“Are you really going to save them?” Qin Xiumo lazily glanced at the sullen disciple and said to ng Qi: “Did you forget how they treated you before?”
“They didn’t trust you, doubted you, slandered you, and arrogantly provocate you.” He added: “Just let them rolling on the floor as they like.”
“You…” The disciple had just opened his mouth angrily when Qin Xiumo’s icy glare fell upon him. He was so scared and instantly shut his mouth, no longer dare to say even a single word. But there was a small voice in his heart, saying that this person wasn’t wrong. The disciple clearly rembered how they all treated ng Qi not too long ago.
They indeed didn’t trust her and openly doubted her—especially Lan Zhuxuan, who was the most provocative and hostile.
“Junior sister ng…” The disciple didn’t know what to say.
“Just keep walking. Talk later.” ng Qi said indifferently.
They originally weren’t that far from Qingfeng Valley’s main gate. Walking quickly, the three soon arrived at the sect and imdiately went to the great hall.
Even before entering the hall, ng Qi could hear a loud wailing from inside. The voice was full of agony, and obviously was more than one person.
The voice was so terrifying. After all, Qingfeng Valley was still a dical cultivation sect. Besides learning dical cultivation, the disciples were also practicing standard cultivation. But such wails weren’t sothing that cultivators would make.
ng Qi glanced at the disciple who brought them back. He quickly explained: “After returning, we were gathering in the hall to talk about the gains and losses of this mission. And…and whether to accept the invitation to join Fentian Palace or not.” The disciple paused. His voice beca smaller and smaller: “Then, the fellow disciples who had been injured by the vine suddenly scread and collapsed on the floor….afterward… it is as you see now.”
ng Qi nodded. With Qin Xiumo following on her side, she entered the great hall.
There were at least fifty or sixty people inside the hall, including Qingfeng Valley’s sect leader, Lu Qingran, and other elders like Elder Lu and Elder Yan. Even Xun Yan was also present, having rushed over after hearing the news. He and other Fentian Palace people were standing in the corner, wanted to help but was helpless.
Chu Tianfeng was standing beside Xun Yan. Seeing ng Qi coming in, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked towards her.
“Junior sister ng Qi is back!” Soone yelled, and the hall suddenly beca quiet. Except for the disciples who were still rolling on the floor in agony, almost everyone turned to look at ng Qi.
“ng Qi.” Qingfeng Valley’s sect leader sighed in relief. She straightened her back and called anxiously: “Quickly co and take a look. It must be a relapse from the immortal devouring vine.”
ng Qi frowned. Qingfeng Valley’s great hall was usually perated with faint dicinal scent, but all she could sll now was a strong sweet fragrance. ng Qi walked towards the wailing disciples. The closer she was, the stronger it beca. In no ti, the sweet aroma beca so strong that it was sickening.
“Junior sister ng Qi…” Lu Qingran’s eyes were red. She must have been cried just now. Her long eyelashes were wet with tears, and the tip of her pretty, small nose was also red, making her looked pitiful yet lovable. “They…they…” She tried to speak. Tears rolled down quickly like broken pearls.
“It’s all my fault.” Lu Qingran kept crying. “I hard them! It’s who is incompetent…. my skill isn’t good, but I still….woohoo…Master, it’s all my fault, I hard them!”
“Qingran.” The sect leader sighed softly. “Of course it’s not your fault. Don’t cry.”
“Yes, junior sister Lu. You aren’t at fault. Don’t bla yourself.” One of the sect leader’s personal disciple also comforted Lu Qingran. “You only tried to save them. No one wants things to end up like this.”
“Yes, junior sister Lu, don’t cry. They…” Another disciple looked at the injured disciples. The pain was so unbearable, but now they no longer had any strength to wail and were lying helplessly on the ground. “…also won’t bla you.”
“But…” Lu Qingran’s eyes were full of crystal tears. “But…if it wasn’t for my mistake, they wouldn’t be like this now.”
“It’s not your fault, junior sister Lu.”
“Right, junior sister, don’t be sad. Junior sister ng will save them.”
“Yes, Junior sister ng must have a way.”
“Yes, yes, junior sister ng will cure them.”
