3112 Something’s Happened
Mu Ling’s legs went soft when he heard this and nearly knelt down. This was his ancestor? Even his Master, their Mu Family ancestor, had to be respectful. When she had been introduced to him at the Immortal Sect earlier, he actually called her ‘Junior Brother’.
When he thought of this, his face turned pale and his legs softened, then he knelt down immediately. However, before his knees were able to touch the ground, he was pulled up by his collar.
“What are you doing?”
Feng Jiu glanced at him angrily and said: “No one other than my two disciples knew my ident.i.ty when I came in here. Don’t let anyone know and cause me unnecessary trouble.”
!!
Mu Ling suppressed the shock in his heart and he felt so nervous that he couldn’t feel his limbs. He took a deep breath, then he looked at Feng Jiu who was standing beside him and said quickly: “Don’t worry Grandmaster, I won’t say anything.”
“Just call me Mu Jiu, let’s go! Familiarise yourself with the surrounding terrain.” If they were familiar with their surrounding terrain, they would know which direction to escape to when there was danger.
“Yes.”
Mu Ling responded respectfully, not daring to be presumptuous in his thoughts and actions. Although he thought that he was unfathomable before, he didn’t know that he was her, let alone know that she was his Master’s Master, their Mu Family’s ancestor. Now that he knew , of course he would have a different att.i.tude.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and paused, and asked: “Grandmaster, is the woman really not human?”
Feng Jiu turned her head and glanced at him: “Do you think I would joke about something like this?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Ling’s expression froze: “If that’s the case, this woman can’t stay. We have to go back and drive her away so she doesn’t cause any trouble.”
As Feng Jiu walked forward, she said leisurely: “I told you this a long time ago, you didn’t listen. If something happens, it’s your fault.”
As they went back, the sky darkened gradually. When they returned to the resting place, Feng Jiu glanced over and saw that the woman and the disciple whose surname was Chen were not there. She frowned slightly and asked: “Where is that woman?”
“She and Junior Brother Chen went to pick branches nearby.” Pei Zixuan glanced around and said: “Strange, they’ve been gone for a while, why aren’t they back yet?”
“Oh no!” Mu Ling whispered: “Quick! Find him!”
When everyone saw his solemn expression, they didn’t ask questions but quickly searched around.
“Senior Brother Chen! Senior Brother Chen!”
The other two disciples whose surnames were Chen came back holding some branches, and when they saw them looking for someone, they asked: “What’s wrong?”
“Where is your clan’s Senior Brother?” Mu Ling asked: “Have you seen him?”
“He went over there with the woman, but we didn’t pay much attention.” The two disciples replied. When they saw their serious expressions, they asked: “What’s wrong? Why do you all look like this?”
“He might be in danger! We need to find him as soon as possible!” Mu Ling said, then he led some people in the direction the two disciples had pointed to.
At this time, in the cave dwelling they had chanced upon earlier, the disciple whose surname was Chen was hugging the woman. The woman’s clothes were half undone and revealed her fair white shoulders. The disciple whose surname was Chen was holding the woman’s waist with one hand and her back with his other hand as he pressed her against him while he buried his head in her chest…
“Ah… Senior Brother Chen… slow down…” The woman said softly as her hand extended slowly to the back of the disciple whose surname was Chen…
