Chapter Thirty: Who Knows What Calamity

  Just as the sword of the second sister was about to split Zhang Yu's face, a sudden slanting stab blocked it.

  "Second sister was shocked: 'Third sister, what are you going to do? Are you still going to let this beast off lightly?'"

  "Wait, don't act rashly," said the third sister. "Didn't the poem just say that only this person can dispel the evil curse on Eldest Sister? If you kill her, won't you be putting Eldest Sister in a difficult spot?"

  Second sister frowned, fiercely staring at Zhang Yufan for a moment: "Consider yourself lucky, I'll let you off the hook today!" Turning back to Xiaoshi, she said: "Little sister, tie him up with all the ropes in the woodshed. This person is very evil, don't let him escape."

  Xiao Shi responded with a sentence, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu Fan was tied up all over his body with countless ropes, looking like a wooden barrel.

  With a creak, the small poem closed the door, and Zhang Yufan slowly opened his eyes, thinking to himself: "Have all the disciples of Xiaozhu Peak gone mad? Why do they all look at me like a cat seeing a mouse? If I wasn't so quick-witted, that woman who was like a shrew would have swallowed me alive."

  He thought to himself, and tried to circulate his internal energy again. However, the strange and eerie chill grew stronger along with the increase in his true energy, causing him to feel a mix of hot and cold that made him feel extremely uncomfortable for a while. Why did this suddenly appear in his imagination? Jin Dashao's martial arts were clearly usable, but where did this chill come from? Could it be... He was suddenly startled - could it be the long sword that had been absorbed into his body in the Heavenly Emperor's underground palace? If that was true, then what should he do? In this world, everyone wanted to kill him. Without an ultimate technique to protect himself, it would be difficult for him to survive. If he really died, he would never be able to come back. Wouldn't his mother miss her son to death?

  Suddenly, the chill in the air surged, and Zhang Yufan felt like a block of ice, so cold that he started shivering. Gradually, his eyes became blurry, and countless golden characters appeared in his mind - it was the Five Volumes of Heavenly Books he had seen in the Heavenly Emperor's Palace. What was strange was that these characters were in simplified script. Could this be the mystery of the Heavenly Book? It emphasized meaning over form, and could transform into various scripts according to one's thoughts.

  One word at a time, it's as if carved into one's own mind. Although the meaning is still understood for the time being, with careful consideration, there will come a day when it will be thoroughly comprehended.

  Let's not mention Zhang Yu Fan for now, in the side room Lu Xue Qi was still unconscious. Outside, Xiao Shi carried Wen Min who looked like a wooden board into the room. This was something Wen Min insisted on doing, as among all of Zhang Yu Fan's disciples, Wen Min and Lu Xue Qi had the best relationship.

  As soon as she entered the door, Wen Min asked the other few sisters: "How is Xue Qi?"

  The three junior sisters were shocked at the sight of their senior sister and couldn't speak for a moment.

  "Shi... jie..." Lu Xueqi slowly opened her eyes and forced out two words.

  Wen Min looked at Lu Xueqi's pale face, and his heart felt a pang of sorrow. If he wasn't in this state now, she would definitely be like before, embracing her in his arms, gently stroking her hair, and slowly comforting the unhappiness in her heart.

  "Sister... how is he?" Lu Xueqi asked in a low voice, the sister disciples beside her just shook their heads, they themselves were in a mess and still thinking about that person.

  Xiao Shi suddenly appeared and said to Lu Xueqi: "Sister, take good care of your injury, I won't let him die if he doesn't want to!"

  Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. Is this crazy girl really crazy or what? With such a big tone, what is she actually talking about?

  Lu Xueqi looked at him and forced a smile: "Xiao Shi, don't be ridiculous!"

  Xiao Shi suddenly stood up and said: "Sister, don't look at me like that. Although I'm a bit mischievous on ordinary days, today I'll show you some real skills!"

  Everyone heard a snicker, only Wen Min knew what she was referring to, and she didn't respond. She continued to gaze at the person in front of her who was trapped by emotions. She didn't know about the events that occurred after Tongtian Peak's Huan Yue Cave, so she naturally didn't know where it happened. Gui Li took revenge for Bi Yao with a single sword strike and risked his life to destroy the Zhuxian Sword. It's said that the old man guarding the Ling Tang also died at his hands. Dao Xuan True Person was severely injured. The current Qing Yun is in chaos, destroying the sect's treasure is no small matter. Qing Yun Qi Mai sent out a large number of people to search for the heavily injured and escaped Gui Li, and once found, they would kill him without hesitation.

  This is also why Lu Xueqi was so worried.

  Xiao Shi said proudly: "Everyone, wait for me, I'll go get that guy and bring him to see you!" With that, he turned around and walked out.

  This person is used to causing trouble every day, and everyone else doesn't take it seriously either, so they just let her be.

  Barn.

  Zhang Yufan was carefully comprehending the Heavenly Book's outline, and he felt that the chill in his body had slightly dissipated. He was overjoyed, thinking that the cultivation method of the Heavenly Book was indeed extraordinary. At this rate, after a few more times, he would be able to merge the chill with the pure Yang energy of the Nine Suns Divine Technique within his body. As long as he could stir up a bit of his power, it would be enough to unblock Wen Minsi's acupoints.

  As she was thinking this way, the door was suddenly kicked open and a 16 or 17-year-old girl appeared in the doorway. It was Xiaoshi.

  "Debauchee, you've finally woken up!" Xiaoshi bellowed.

  Zhang Yufan was in the midst of comprehending the Heavenly Book when she suddenly had such a startling thought that her mind went completely blank. He glared at her fiercely and shouted, "What's it to you!"

  Xiao Shi was furious and slapped Zhang Yu Fan twice, saying: "Now that my master's sister and the others have returned, I'm even less afraid of you, you lecher!"

  Zhang Yufan only felt a burst of golden stars in front of his eyes, feeling extremely uncomfortable for a while. Suddenly hearing her say this, he was shocked again, not knowing how to deal with Xiaozhu Feng and others. If Lu Xueqi also knew that I had made Wen Min like that, and couldn't untie the knot for the time being, would she really stab me with a sword?

  Just as he was thinking of a poem, she suddenly grabbed the rope on his back, looking like a weak woman, but with a thousand pounds of strength, Zhang Yu Fan was dragged away from the thatched house.

  As they approached Lu Xueqi's room, Xiaoshi suddenly shouted: "Lu Shijie, I've brought the person here!"

  The people inside the house didn't know what this crazy girl was doing, and soon she dragged in a person tied up with ropes and threw Zhang Yufan to the ground, saying: "Sister, isn't it this person?"

  Lu Xueqi was startled at first, but quickly calmed down and asked Zhang Yufan: "It's you, how did you end up on Xiao Zhufeng?"

  Wen Min looked at Lu Xueqi with a strange feeling, why his junior sister didn't feel surprised, greatly beyond his expectation.

  Xue Qi, just by looking at me like this, you should know the outcome already. Is your injury alright?

  Everyone was shocked again, when did the relationship between the two people develop to this point, and they actually called each other so intimately.

  "Can you tell me if he will die?"

  Zhang Yu Fan's mind was racing, Qing Yun had fought a battle and he hadn't seen that part of "The Great Sage", but he heard the classmate who sat next to him say that Zhang Xiao Fan was rescued by a monk from Tianyin Temple and managed to save his life. He said: "He has a chaotic demon fate, with a noble person saving him, he won't die."

  Lu Xueqi indeed did not believe it and asked in return: "A noble person, is there another noble person in his fate?"

  Zhang Yufan glanced at the poem and then looked at Lu Xueqi, saying: "Is this how you treat guests in Xiaozhu Peak? You've tied me up like a pig for slaughter, it's so uncomfortable!"

  Wen Min was even more bewildered by what he overheard, and although some things made sense, he still couldn't believe the reality in front of him.

  "Little poem, let him go!" Lu Xueqi said suddenly.

  "Absolutely not, Master Sister! Look what he's done to Big Master Sister! He's the one I caught and can't let off lightly!"

  "Alright then, I'll just sleep in Xue Qi's room like this. So many ropes and quilts are saved, haha!"

  He proudly kicked the little poem behind him with both feet, although it was quite forceful but didn't hurt at all.

  Lu Xueqi struggled to sit up, and the white Tianyao was placed on her bedside. He raised his hands, a blue light flashed, and countless ropes were cut off. "Don't be foolish, he's not Zhang - Xiaofan, capturing him is useless!"

  The people behind were even more shocked, and all eyes fell on Zhang Yufan's body at the same time. Who didn't recognize the first four of Qimaihuiwu? This person was clearly Zhang Xiaofan, why did Lu Xueqi insist that it wasn't him? Was it to get him off the hook? But looking at her expression, there wasn't a hint of falsehood!

  "Zhang Yufan!" Lu Xueqi said again: "I've already let you go, but you still have to undo that strange and peculiar technique for my Shifu's sister!"

  Zhang Yu Fan furrowed his brow and sighed, "An hour ago it was still possible, but an hour later I'm powerless. For some reason, my martial arts skills have disappeared, and I couldn't muster up any real strength. It's likely that I'll need a few more days to recover. However, if you follow my guidance and have someone from the Small Bamboo Peak with high attainments in the Dao point out a few acupoints for him, it might just work. If not, we can only wait until I've recovered before trying again."

  He spoke with a divine tone, but the small bamboo peak disciples around him had murderous gazes. If it weren't for Lu Xueqi being there, Zhang Yufan would have been in big trouble.

  After listening to Zhang Yufan's words, Lu Xueqi's complexion improved a bit. She suddenly thought of something and said to the various sisters: "Can all of you please withdraw for a moment? I have something to say to this person!"

  Everyone was puzzled, but Lu Xueqi had always been stubborn and unyielding, and with the support of her master, her words even surpassed those of the eldest senior sister. It seemed that in the future, the position of leader of Xiaozhu Peak would be hers for the taking. No one dared to say more, and they all got up and left. Xiao Shi glared fiercely at Zhang Yufan and carried Wen Min out of the room.

  "Xue Qi, are you asking me about the Heavenly Emperor's Palace?" Zhang Yu Fan said, standing up and not daring to pat the mud off his body, afraid of offending Lu Xue Qi.

  Lu Xueqi nodded and said: "I was just going to ask you about the Tian Emperor's underground palace in Nankiang?"

  Zhang Yufan gazed at Lu Xueqi, feeling incredibly happy to be able to see her pale face up close again. He thought to himself with a smile: "I was just about to ask you, where were you when you woke up?"

  Lu Xueqi also didn't care about the strangeness of the person in front of her, and after several meetings with Zhang Yufan, this seemingly steady but inwardly rogue person, she had a certain understanding of him, especially when he directly confessed to her in the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, which made her have a deeper understanding of this person. At the same time, she seemed to be exceptionally tolerant of him and would never get angry because of his frivolity. She said: "I'm at the Qingyun Tongtian Peak, Huanyue Cave."

  Zhang Yu Fan was greatly shocked and exclaimed: "Qing Yun Forbidden Land!"
