Chapter 208: Damn it, my disciple is the Demon Lord 27
"Report!"
The right protector pushed the door open and a gust of wind blew past. He quickly leaned close to Hades' ear and whispered something.
Shi Qing listened attentively. It seemed that Ye Xuan had heard some big news. His laughter was more hearty than anyone had ever heard before.
After the Right Protector left, Shi Qing asked calmly, "Is there any good news, my king?"
Ye Xuan was in a very good mood and said directly without hiding anything:
"It's okay to tell you. The Right Protector just reported that a fugitive was caught outside the palace."
Shi Qing was slightly startled, with a trace of worry in his heart, and then he stood up and said, "I also want to go with the king."
Ye Xuan glanced at her and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. Has the High Priest forgotten? You still have to go to Huaxin Hall to practice the sacrificial dance later. Yesterday, I heard someone from the Elders' Pavilion complain to me that the High Priest didn't practice seriously. Now that the ceremony is imminent, you can't be lazy anymore."
After that, he raised his hand and called the left guardian, "Take the priest to Huaxin Hall and make sure to supervise the priest to finish his training."
Along the way, Shi Qing tried to ask questions, but the left protector had a cold face and refused to say a word.
The question is, "I only obey the orders of the king."
He keeps his mouth shut.
Shi Qing was thinking about countermeasures as he walked. The Mingshanhai was under strict security. If someone really discovered him, with Jiang Wei and Lin Zhou around, it would be impossible for Song Yu to be caught.
The location of the Blood Demon Sword is still unclear, and things have suddenly become confusing.
Before things are clear, we must not panic. Now that I am more convenient to act with the identity of a priest, it is not entirely a bad thing.
Shi Qing arrived at Huaxin Hall, and soon a special person came to teach her how to practice the sacrificial dance.
Shi Qing listened to their instructions and performed the moves seriously, but was forced to adjust them one by one out of disappointment. They were very strict and forced Shi Qing to finish the dance completely before letting her go.
It was late at night when I returned to the priest's palace. The palace was silent except for the footsteps of patrolmen and the sound of weapons.
Shi Qing asked the maids indirectly, but they knew nothing about the fugitive.
After closing the door, Shi Qing held up the mirror and asked, "Is this the Blood Demon Sword?"
In front of her, the red and black sword was emitting murderous aura. The rich aura lingered around her. She leaned to the side, and even with her high concentration, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
The old man examined it carefully, stroked his beard and shook his head, "This is the Scarlet Sky Sword, not the Blood Demon Sword."
Ye Xuan did not cheat her, what she got was really not hers.
Shi Qing frowned and said in a grim tone, "Then you swore to me before that the Blood Demon Sword was in Mingyuan Pavilion."
The old man covered his mouth and coughed, explaining guiltily:
"The evil spirits attached to the Blood Demon Sword and the Scarlet Sky Sword are so similar. Moreover, this thing cannot be used easily and is sealed at the bottom of the Nether Abyss Pavilion. It is understandable that I made a mistake in my judgment."
Seeing Shi Qing expressionless and silent, the old man said angrily:
"Also, you should be thankful that you got the Scarlet Sky Sword. It was sealed for a shorter time than the Blood Demon Sword. Even the evil spirit is like this, so it goes without saying that the Blood Demon Sword has been sealed for thousands of years."
"Can a serious evil spirit seduce people's minds?" Shi Qing asked.
"Of course, just like the ice crystal stone, nothing good will happen if you stay there for too long. That's why these evil things have been strictly guarded since ancient times, for fear that they will hurt people."
Shi Qing raised his eyes and asked accurately: "So, do you know where the spiritual energy of the underworld is the most concentrated?"
"Without a doubt, it must be Wu Yuehe."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man obviously thought of this, "Do you suspect that the Blood Demon Sword is under the river?"
Shi Qing nodded.
The old man looked at her incredulously, "Wu Yue River is the sacred river of the Hades Clan. You are not allowed to enter it casually. If you are found jumping into their river, you will probably be executed on the spot."
Playing with the mask on the bedside, Shi Qing smiled, "Isn't the day after tomorrow a perfect opportunity?"
However, just as Shi Qing was about to lie down to rest, a slight friction sound was heard near the window.
Shi Qing opened his eyes instantly, quickly reached for the mask and put it on, got out of bed, grabbed the cloak from the rack and put it on casually, and moved closer step by step.
The room was dark. A window was opened from the outside, letting in a corner of moonlight. On the smooth ground, shadows of flowers and tree branches were scattered all over the place.
Shi Qing walked barefoot, making no sound like a hunting cat.
The faint breathing belonging to another person was amplified in the night. She raised the dagger without hesitation and stabbed in that direction. The blades collided and their breaths entangled.
The man resisted her attack with one hand, his breathing became slightly rapid, and a muffled groan escaped from between his lips and teeth.
Seeing the familiar figure and fragrance, the boy raised his head and saw the woman's face clearly in the moonlight.
She casually wore a large dark purple cloak, and under the hood was an exquisite silver mask engraved with complex patterns. Her soft long hair was loose, with a few strands hanging in front of her chest.
"Master."
The joy of reunion after a long separation suddenly appeared. The young man was covered with silver light and shouted out the longing that lingered in his heart thousands of times every day.
The voice is clear, it’s Lin Zhou.
Shi Qing loosened the shackles, took a step back, and lowered his voice: "Why are you here?"
As they moved away from each other, Lin Zhou realized that she was not wearing shoes. The moonlight kissed her delicate skin, her feet were white and smooth, and she was neither fat nor thin, just right from every angle.
He questioned her as soon as they met. This was somewhat different from the scene that Lin Zhou had rehearsed in his mind. He looked away, curled his lips, and spoke softly:
"I haven't seen Master for a long time. I am really worried. That's why I dared to come and look for Master."
It was clearly a caring word, but when it came out of his mouth, it had an ambiguous meaning. It was like a husband questioning his wife who hadn't been home for a long time, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.
Shi Qing threw away his strange thoughts and ordered coldly: "Close the window."
Lin Zhou closed the window obediently and followed Shi Qing like a little tail.
As soon as Shi Qing took off his cloak, Lin Zhou tactfully took it and hung it on the hanger beside the bed.
Shi Qing paused, sat on the bed and put the mask next to him, "How are the others?"
"Master, don't worry. The elders have already gotten out safely."
Lin Zhou answered her seriously, but his eyes fell on the pair of feet that were half-hidden under the plain dress.
Like lotus root, white and tender.
When he realized what he was thinking, Lin Zhou hurriedly looked away, and then he couldn't help but glanced at her a few more times. In the night, his earlobes turned red.
"What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about Master's feet."
The air suddenly became colder.
The words came out subconsciously without thinking, and Lin Zhou's body froze. He waved his hands hurriedly to explain:
"No, no, I was wondering if Master's feet would feel cold when they stepped on the ground."
Shi Qing turned the page with a blank expression, "I'm asking why you came to the palace. If someone finds out and something happens, will I have to run to save you again? Lin Zhou, what are you thinking?"
The last sentence clearly contained a hint of gnashing of teeth.
Lin Zhou hung his head like a defeated puppy, and said sadly: "I only care about Master being safe and sound, and I don't care about anything else."
The questioning and scolding suddenly became warm and ambiguous, and there was a slight pause, and the words of blame could no longer be condensed into a sentence after they were scattered.
After a long while, she finally sighed and said earnestly:
"Lin Zhou, you are still young and have not experienced many things. Your experience and vision are limited, so it is easy for you to be confined to this well. There are countless creatures in this world, and everyone has his or her own way. We cannot live by relying solely on another person."
Lin Zhou raised his eyes and said firmly: "But I don't rely on you, Master, but I love you."
The still reserved curtain was torn openly, and the young man said openly and firmly:
"If Master still wants to say that I have such a wrong perception because I have little experience, then I will confess to you today. As early as three years ago, I had evil intentions towards you."
Shi Qing was really stunned this time. She had just accepted Lin Zhou as her apprentice three years ago. At that time, in her eyes, he was just a grown-up child.
She thought that there was no difference in her teaching methods, and even her behavior kept a distance. She didn't know why he would have such an idea about her.
Lin Zhou continued:
"I originally thought that this was just my dependence on and admiration for Master, but in the past three years, I have been going down the mountain to gain experience, trying to calm myself down in this way. However, I can't. Whenever I have free time, I will think of Master."
He knelt on one knee in front of Shi Qing, raised his head, and his eyes sparkled in the dim room:
"I love Master and want to be by his side for all eternity, day and night, until the stars go out."
