"Wu Wang?"
"What's going on?"
Shen Qing took Wu Wang from Li Xian's hand and gently stroked the blade. She could feel that Wu Wang was in a deep slumber.
Li Xian took out Chen Xi Sword and placed the two swords side by side. There was a hint of lingering fear in his eyes.
"Shen Qing, originally we couldn't have escaped. Han Ze had set up a magic formation around. No living being could leave the Five - Element Dao Sect. If it weren't for several great masters breaking the formation by force, and Wu Wang and Chen Xi resisting with their true forms, we would have been trapped and died in the formation."
"After the formation was broken, Wu Wang and Chen Xi carried us flying for days and nights before finally reaching the South Sea."
"Now we're in a cave in the South Sea. Beyond the whirlpool is the Merman Palace. They were exhausted after saving us."
"Before Wu Wang fell into slumber, it told me that when you put Master's body away, it sensed a wisp of spiritual energy hidden in Master's body. It seemed that his Dantian was sealed by something, which made it look like he had fallen."
Hearing this, Shen Qing suddenly remembered the thundering clouds above Yu Xuzi when he fell.
She hadn't thought much about it at that time and assumed it was all created by Han Ze.
But now thinking about it, Yu Xuzi used the Kunlun Disk to divine the future, which was peeping into the secrets of heaven. Then he took the risk of being punished by heaven and told all he knew.
In this case, Yu Xuzi was like an unconscious puppet before losing consciousness. Wasn't that a sign of having his five senses sealed?
Thinking of this, Shen Qing's eyes lit up. If it was just because his five senses were sealed, then Yu Xuzi might still be saved!
This was the punishment from the Heavenly Dao. If he could endure it, he would be fine!
These two good news in succession instantly swept away the haze in Shen Qing's heart. She was filled with motivation. Originally weak - limbed, now she felt that she could jump off the stone bed and swim around the South Sea twice.
She happily patted Li Xian and exclaimed excitedly, "Great, Li Xian! Master is okay, and the Qingyun Sword Sect is okay too. Master is so powerful. He must have foreseen everything. By this reasoning, the Beast - Taming Sect and the Green Wood Sect must be okay too!"
"How amazing our master is!!"
Seeing Shen Qing finally smiling from the bottom of her heart, Li Xian couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Yes, yes, yes. Our master is really amazing." Li Xian echoed Shen Qing's praise of Yu Xuzi. Just as he was about to say something, he accidentally pulled the wound on his cheek and quickly gasped in pain.
It wasn't that he was being overly delicate. The wound caused by the dragon was much more serious than ordinary ones.
It was not only difficult to heal but also felt like being cut by a knife all the time, causing unbearable pain.
After learning the news that Yu Xuzi might still be alive, Shen Qing couldn't wait to drag Li Xian into the space to check on Yu Xuzi's condition.
But hearing Li Xian's pained cry, she then remembered that Li Xian's wound needed to be treated as soon as possible.
She raised her hand, intending to check Li Xian's wound, but saw Li Xian slightly frowning, his eyes moist, with a hint of grievance in them. In the dim cave, Shen Qing only saw Li Xian's hazy side face.
The smooth jawline and the high - bridged nose. All these superior facial features combined made people sigh that Li Xian's appearance was indeed the most outstanding among the cultivators Shen Qing had ever seen.
Coupled with Li Xian's current expression, his slightly disheveled hairstyle with two strands of hair hanging beside his ears just right, it added a touch of brokenness and fragility compared to his previous self.
Even though the situation and timing were inappropriate, Shen Qing was still dazzled by Li Xian's good looks.
Happy about the good news, Shen Qing also optimistically appreciated Li Xian's beauty.
Li Xian bit his lower lip. Just as he was about to ask Shen Qing if there was any way to relieve the pain of his wound, he turned his head and met Shen Qing's lecherous look.
That blatant lust was as if she was about to strip him naked immediately.
Li Xian's ears turned red involuntarily. He even subconsciously wanted to avert his eyes and not meet Shen Qing's gaze.
But then he thought that if he did so, their roles would seem to be reversed. So he forced himself to look directly into Shen Qing's eyes.
But in the end, Li Xian lost.
"Why are you looking at me like this? My face is injured. I'm not good - looking anymore..."
Li Xian felt his face burning when he said this. He knew that Shen Qing didn't mind these things, but somehow, he seemed to have inherited the merman's tradition of loving beauty and unconsciously said this.
Then, he gritted his teeth in annoyance and pretended to be tough. "Stop looking!"
"Ahem..." Shen Qing coughed twice, secretly scolding herself for being a flower - crazy girl at the wrong time.
She seriously checked Li Xian's wound. Then, after thinking for a while, she directly squeezed the unhealed wound on her neck, wiped off some blood, and smeared it on Li Xian's wound, directly covering the mark left by Han Ze.
Li Xian was startled and wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
But when Shen Qing's blood was smeared on his wound, he found that the stabbing pain disappeared instantly, and the wound seemed to start healing gradually.
Li Xian stared at Shen Qing speechlessly as he saw the blood seeping out again from the wound on her neck that had just been treated.
Shen Qing blinked innocently, smiled, and was sure that Li Xian wouldn't scold her.
The two quickly treated their own wounds, and then Shen Qing took Li Xian and the two sleeping swords into the space.
Even though he had heard Shen Qing's description before, Li Xian still felt very curious when he entered the space.
"Is this the temple and the inheritance place of the dragon clan you mentioned? It seems a bit similar to the Merman Palace."
Shen Qing nodded. "They are all ancient spirit beasts. Their inheritances are naturally somewhat similar."
The two came in to find Yu Xuzi, but when Shen Qing put Yu Xuzi into the space, it was too urgent, and she hadn't had time to specify a place. So she didn't know where Yu Xuzi was at the moment.
The two walked around the small stream and the temple twice, searching everywhere, but still couldn't find Yu Xuzi.
Shen Qing frowned, her eyes full of confusion. "Strange. I'm sure I hid Master here. Why can't I find his trace?"
Li Xian looked at the clear stream, the boundless green grassland, and then looked up at the temple.
Suddenly, he turned his head and gave Shen Qing a strange look. "Do you think... could Master be on top of the temple?"
Hearing this, Shen Qing immediately refuted without thinking. "Are you kidding? How could that be? Would I put Master on the roof??"
But after saying that, Shen Qing looked at the roof of the temple nervously and murmured, "It can't be..."
Li Xian twitched the corner of his mouth, and their eyes fell on the roof at the same time...
