Ch. 62 - Good News And Bad News

After listening to the disciples' gossip, Xiao Yunluo took the Gathering Spirit pills brought by the Alchemy Hall disciple and then flew at top speed toward the Legendary Waterside Pavilion, Lei Wanjun's residence in the sky, above the main peak.

"That second idiot..."

It would be a lie to say that she was not worried about Feng Yu Die.

Regardless of how Feng Yu Die usually behaved, on the back mountain that time, she did save her life.

Moreover, if something happened to Feng Yu Die, Pei Lianxue wouldn't be able to stay in the Black Star Sect as her companion anymore.

When she arrived in front of the Legendary Waterside Pavilion, she bumped into Lei Wanjun, who had also just returned.

Seeing Xiao Yunluo flustered, Lei Wanjun was quite puzzled and asked, "Young Miss? Why are you here?"

"Feng Yu Die... well... was she kidnapped?"

"It spread so fast already?" Lei Wanjun was slightly surprised and replied with a helpless smile. "Yes. Earlier, near the Willow Moon Lake outside of the Black Star town, a Seven Slayers Sect thug attacked her and the Hundred Lotus Sect's Young Master. She was captured, and the young master was injured."

"Then..."

Xiao Yunluo wanted to say, 'Gather the disciples and hurry to rescue Feng Yu Die.'

But when the words reached her lips, she suddenly realized what nonsense it was.

If she could be saved, the Black Star Sect must have already sent someone there, and it did not fall within her competence to tell Elder Lei what to do.

"..."

Seeing that Xiao Yunluo suddenly stopped talking, Lei Wanjun thought that she was worried, so he comforted her. "Miss, please rest assured. That girl Feng Yu Die is clever, she left a travel order before she was taken away."

"A travel order?"

"Well, it seems she took precautions. When she crushes the travel order, I will immediately know her location. Then, I will personally lead a team to apprehend the Seven Slayers Sect and bring her back to the Black Star."

"Ah, so it is... Good." Xiao Yunluo nodded. "Then, I'm counting on you, Elder Lei, please."

"No need to ask, I am one of the five Great Elders, after all. This time, the Seven Slayers Sect..."

Saying that, Lei Wanjun immediately got angry, but remembering the hand of the Matriarch, he quickly took a deep breath, suppressed his rage, and replied as calmly as possible. "The Seven Slayers Sect has crossed the line this time. Previously, the immortal sects of the Western Region had already planned to clear them out, but those rats dug holes everywhere, hiding their heads and tails, and they never found a chance to do it."

"..."

"I already sent someone to contact seven sects of the Western Region. This time, all the rats' nests here will be wiped out. Thanks to that girl, the Seven Slayers Sect has opened up a big breach. Otherwise, this matter will not see the end."

"Oh."

Lei Wanjun's words were very reassuring, dispelling all Xiao Yunluo's worries.

After hesitating briefly, Xiao Yunluo asked, "Elder Lei, can you take me with you? Feng Yu Die saved me before, and I want to return the favor."

Lei Wanjun pondered and shook his head. "This is not proper, no."

"Well, then... I will take my leave." Pursing her lips, Xiao Yunluo cupped her hands to Lei Wanjun and then left on her flying sword.

On the way back, she suddenly thought about the news that the Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect was seriously injured. She vaguely remembered that Pei Lianxue had said her elder brother was the Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect.

When they were sheltering from the snow in the cave on the High Snow Peak, Pei Lianxue had told her:

---"My brother is a big jerk!"

---"He barged in while I was taking a bath, beat me black and blue, broke my bones, fed me to monsters, poisoned me..."

---"My brother is a big villain with a human face and a beast's heart."

Although she didn't know why the Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect appeared at the Willow Moon Lake together with that second idiot, Pei Lianxue should still be very happy to hear this news, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunluo accelerated the speed of the flying sword, eager to tell Pei Lianxue the good news.

Of course, there was bad news as well, namely, that second idiot had been kidnapped...

...

Sword out.

Swish-swish---

Sword sheathed.

Pei Lianxue looked at the bamboo sliced by her sword in seven pieces and nodded with satisfaction.

She felt that her sword skills seemed to be a little better than yesterday, and her brother would praise her if he knew about it.

Pei Lianxue sheathed her long sword, looked up at the sun that went down behind the mountain and wiped the hot sweat from her forehead.

"Brother should be about to close the shop by now, right?"

After saying that, she walked back to the courtyard, ready to take a bath to wash off the sweat from her body.

After entering the house, Pei Lianxue saw that Feng Yu Die's bedroom door was still open, and she suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen that second idiot all day.

However, she didn't think much of it, took her towel, and headed to the bathroom.

At this time, a flying sword suddenly came down from the sky.

"Lianxue!"

Pei Lianxue looked up, and seeing that Xiao Yunluo's face was a mix of sorrow and joy, she tilted her head in doubt. When she landed in the yard, she stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Well..." Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips and asked, "I have bad news and good news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Let's hear the bad news first."

"That white-haired second idiot seems to have been kidnapped by the people from the Seven Slayers."

"Kidnapped?!"

Pei Lianxue raised her eyebrows, and although her face remained expressionless, she felt a little gleeful in her heart.

But then she thought about what her brother had said before, that it was not good to gloat.

---Nope, it's not good to gloat... hee hee.

Pei Lianxue hesitated and asked, "Will she be alright then?"

"She'll be fine." Xiao Yunluo paused for a moment, then said, "Well, she should be okay. Elder Lei said she would definitely be rescued safely, don't worry."

"Well... Since the Great Elder of the Black Star Sect said so, then nothing should go wrong."

Seeing that Pei Lianxue's reaction was quite bland, Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a while and then quickly continued. "There is also good news! Lianxue, you'll be absolutely happy to hear it."

"Say it." Pei Lianxue nodded.

"The Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect has been injured. I heard that he was seriously injured. He is now lying in the inner medical center of the Black Star Sect."

"..." Pei Lianxue's expression froze for a moment, and she stammered. "What... what?"

Something was wrong... Shouldn't Lianxue be happy? What was that look?!

Xiao Yunluo straightened her neck in fright and weakly repeated, "The Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect was injured... badly?"

Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and asked, "Who hurt him?"

"... Someone from the Seven Slayers Sect."

"Where is he?"

"In... in the Seven Slayers Sect?"

"..."

Pei Lianxue bit her lip, and squeezed the sword in her hand, then suddenly remembered her brother's previous admonition --- keep calm when something happens!

She took a deep breath, suppressing the worry that was about to overflow in her heart as much as possible, and asked, "Where is that inner Medical Center?"

"Over the main peak. Do you want to go? I'll take you there."

"...All right, let's go."

Xiao Yunluo hurriedly stepped on the flying sword again and rose into the air.

As for Pei Lianxue, she didn't bother to change her clothes. Still wearing the sweat-soaked shirt, she drew out her flying sword and followed.

"Brother..."
