Chapter 54 Where Did This Legitimate Loli Come From?
The four then departed, heading towards the Western Regions.
Kumārajīva was returning home. The area around Qinghai, where Xingxiuhai is located, is now in Tibet, and Tibet is his territory.
The night before last, when he learned that Russell was preparing to seek revenge on Ding Chunqiu, Kumārajīva was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.
That's great! He's just wondering how he can help Russell right now, and Ding Chunqiu is such a kind person.
He had it all planned out. Once he returned to Tibet, he would gather a large army. If Russell wanted to do it himself, he would provide logistics and clear out the miscellaneous soldiers. If Russell found Ding Chunqiu disgusting, he would send a large army to plow through Xingxiu Sea.
In short, he's determined to help!
Murong Fu's idea was even simpler: all his previous schemes could be overturned, and now all he needed to do was curry favor with Russell.
With such outrageous fighting skills, if you became sworn brothers with him, he might say he wanted to be emperor in the morning, and by noon Russell would have already stormed into the palace, twisted off the emperor's head, and kicked it around like a ball.
Even if our generation can't do it for various reasons, surely the next generation can?
As soon as the child was born, he asked him to recognize a godfather. When the godson grew up, he wanted to play the emperor for fun, and the godfather helped him out. This shouldn't be a big deal, right?
With their own thoughts and plans in mind, the group traveled at breakneck speed, and in just half a month, they had arrived in Qinghai from Henan.
The scenery of the plateau is very different from that of the Central Plains; the sky is high and the land is vast, and the cold wind is biting.
Upon arriving here, the four split into two groups. Kumārajīva took Murong Fu to contact the local garrison.
The Starry Sea is a vast and complex region. The Starry Sea Sect has a large number of disciples who are skilled in using poison and are good at spreading their influence. It would be difficult for just a few of them to capture them all at once, so they would have to call in more people.
Russell and Mu Wanqing went to find Su Xinghe. Back when Russell was wreaking havoc in the Central Plains, Su Xinghe had already led the Eight Friends of Hangu to lie in wait here, monitoring Ding Chunqiu's whereabouts, so that Russell wouldn't come all this way only to find him.
This mission is not dangerous. Ding Chunqiu has always been extremely fond of flattery. Whenever he goes out, he always announces it widely, and his disciples will go into the city in advance to buy the items needed to set up the entourage.
Su Xinghe and his group only needed to stay obediently in the city and do nothing to be fully aware of Ding Chunqiu's movements.
Russell and Mu Wanqing then strolled around the city, searching for traces left by Su Xinghe and buying local specialties.
Before his transmigration, Russell was basically a seasoned homebody with a pitifully simple life. He would either practice boxing in the yard or stay at home playing video games. He never expected that he would end up traveling from west to east and then from east to west. He simply treated it as a trip.
At noon, Russell and Mu Wanqing found a restaurant to stay at, still choosing a window seat.
For no other reason than that a window seat allows you to observe the situation outside and makes it easier to escape in case of danger, preventing you from being easily surrounded and trapped.
While waiting, Mu Wanqing rested her chin on her hands, gazing at the azure sky and snow-capped peaks in the distance, and suddenly asked softly, "Russell, after avenging Senior Wuyazi, what are your plans for the future?"
Upon hearing this, Russell thought for a moment and said, "I should probably make a detour to Tianshan later to find my senior sister."
Wu Yazi had told him that Lingjiu Palace was actually the former site of the Xiaoyao Sect, and that Xiaoyaozi's martial arts insights were preserved in the stone cave in the rear hall.
The three siblings could never reach their master's level of cultivation, and even they had never comprehended many of the martial arts techniques depicted in the murals.
Furthermore, even without these murals, as the current leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect, he still had to pay a visit to this nominal senior sister.
Afterwards, when she dissipates her powers, Li Qiushui will also come, and he will be able to get at least two chances to win the lottery.
Mu Wanqing nodded, and then the waiter called out as he brought in the food.
However, Russell's gaze did not fall on the bowl, but drifted out the window and onto the street.
Mu Wanqing curiously followed Russell's gaze and saw that on the not-so-wide street, pedestrians were making way for each other, and two groups of women in black were escorting a sedan chair slowly forward.
"What's wrong?" Mu Wanqing asked in a low voice, her hand unconsciously resting on the hilt of the short sword at her waist.
"Nothing much, just ran into an old friend," Russell replied with a smile, casually picking up a salted peanut from the table, rubbing it between his fingers, and flicking it toward the woman at the head of the table.
The peanut flew out and hit the back of the woman's head, but a burst of energy suddenly shot out from the sedan chair, shattering the peanut in mid-air into a pinch of powder that fluttered down.
"Hmph!" A cold snort rang out from inside the sedan chair, and then the woman at the head of the carriage suddenly turned her head, her eyebrows raised, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent, and glared angrily at Russell.
But the moment she saw Russell, the anger in her eyes was instantly replaced by joy.
"Grandma, it's Uncle Luo!" Fu Yu exclaimed in surprise.
Russell also stood up and smiled at Mu Wanqing, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet my senior sister who might have a bit of a temper."
He put his arm around Mu Wanqing's waist, and with her, they flew down to the front of the sedan chair. He smiled and said, "We've finally met, Senior Sister."
"So you're Master's new disciple? You're not bad looking." The old woman's voice was clear and crisp, yet it sounded old-fashioned.
The gauze curtains of the sedan chair moved automatically without wind, slowly parting to the sides to reveal the figure sitting inside.
Russell looked up and saw that, indeed, it was a legal loli.
[The host has come into contact with the story character Wu Xingyun (Qing). The current causal connection is 0%, triggering a lottery draw. Do you wish to draw now?]
"You little thief! Don't think I won't teach you a lesson just because you're my junior brother!" Noticing Russell's gaze, the little girl's face showed displeasure, then her eyes fell on the Seven Treasures Ring on Russell's right thumb. The feigned maturity on her childish face instantly froze, and her pupils contracted slightly: "You've seen him?"
Russell nodded: "Indeed, I have already met my second senior brother."
The old woman stared intently at Russell, her voice trembling slightly, and asked hastily, "How is he now? Is he doing well?"
According to Wu Yazi, Tianshan Tonglao was unaware of his ordeal; otherwise, given her personality, she would have already hunted Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu to the ends of the earth.
He even told Russell that if Russell felt he was no match for Ding Chunqiu and Ding Chunqiu discovered his identity, he should go directly to Lingjiu Palace to find Tong Lao and ask for her help.
As for why he hasn't sent anyone to ask Lingjiu Palace for help all these years, there's only one reason: he can't bring himself to do it.
Back then, the two sisters fought countless times on Mount Tianshan for Wu Yazi's heart. In the end, Wu Yazi chose Li Qiushui, and the two went to Dali to live in seclusion.
For the next few decades, they remained estranged and never interacted with each other again.
He didn't come looking for her, and she didn't go looking for him either; one can roughly guess how resolute Wu Yazi was when he made his choice.
In this situation, it would be more practical for Wu Yazi to commit suicide rather than lower himself to seek help from Tong Lao.
