Chapter 276 The Witch of the Martial World 17
Hua unintentionally led Qingyu to a secluded valley.
The peach blossoms here are in full bloom, like a paradise on earth. Qingyu looked around curiously. To be honest, she found that the characters in these stories all liked to use these valleys as their gathering places.
Because open spaces have better air quality?
Seeing Qingyu scrutinizing her, Hua Wuyi's gaze softened, and she said softly, "This place is safe; those guys won't be able to find it."
After saying that, he suddenly coughed, accompanied by a bloody smell, and his lips were covered in blood, which looked rather frightening.
But his appearance is so exquisite that it gives him a slightly sickly and delicate look.
Qingyu took a step back, her lips moving slightly in concern, "Are you injured?"
Hua wiped her lips indifferently, a shadow of gloom flashing in her eyes. She nodded nonchalantly, "Internal injury, nothing serious. Don't go out for a while, things are probably going to get chaotic outside, it's not safe."
He had already begun planning what he had discussed with Xue Lingyuan. Those sect leaders would certainly not admit defeat easily, and the pursuit of the Demonic Sect would only intensify.
What he needed to do was to completely disrupt the relationship between the imperial court and the martial arts world during this period, and preferably promote the Demonic Sect...
The more Hua Wuyi thought about it, the more she felt that Qingyu was too weak and couldn't be allowed to go out so easily, completely forgetting that Qingyu was a saintess.
Upon hearing this, Qingyu was somewhat displeased. She frowned and disagreed, saying, "You want to treat me like a caged bird?"
"No," Hua Wuyi quickly denied, then fell silent.
He suddenly realized that there might be something wrong with his thinking.
Was he like this before?
It does not seem.
Qingyu snorted, crossed her arms, and said coldly, "Then why restrict my movements? Although I am in the Demonic Sect, I am not a helpless person."
Hua Wuyi looked up at her and said slowly, "I know you are powerful, but the situation is complicated now. Various forces are secretly surging, and many people see the Demonic Sect as a thorn in their side. If you are alone, you will definitely be targeted... I just don't want you to take any risks."
Qingyu sneered, her beautiful eyes tilting upwards, full of arrogance and disdain. "Have you forgotten that I am already at the center of the vortex? Those people want to kill me? Ha, can they kill me? Besides, running away is never the solution."
She would only run away if she was truly outmatched.
Hua frowned slightly, knowing that what she said made sense, but the thought of the potential danger made her uneasy.
Just then, a commotion arose outside the valley.
Hua Wuyi's eyes sharpened, and she whispered, "The Demonic Sect has come looking for us."
He turned to Qingyu and said, "You should go into the cave and hide there."
Qingyu waved her hand, then sat down on a rock to the side, her demeanor stern. "There's no need to hide. Is there anything I can't hear?"
Given his willful behavior, Hua Wuyi should have been angry, but looking at Qingyu, he felt helpless and had no choice but to agree.
A group of men in black surged into the valley, led by the two protectors, who bowed and said, "Master!"
After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, Hua inadvertently inquired about the situation outside.
Hearing that the Five Factions had fallen into complete chaos and the martial arts tournament had been postponed, Hua Wuyi nodded in satisfaction.
However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied when he heard that the Guo family members had not returned.
Hua Wuyi had also figured it out: those people from the Guo family might try to entangle themselves with his Holy Maiden.
In the past, he wouldn't have cared, but recently his mood has been off, so he won't let those people get close to the people he wants to protect.
Yu Guangzhong and Qingyu sat obediently to the side. Hua Wuyi had a faint smile on his lips before continuing to instruct the left and right protectors to do their work.
In reality, Qingyu had already grabbed the system and was kneading it from both sides, "Come on, let's see what Xue Lingyuan is doing? Is he messing around according to the plan?"
The system was being torn apart and felt a sharp pain. Although it wasn't a real person, it could still feel pain!
But looking into Qingyu's smiling eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say anything and quietly opened the video.
In the video, Xue Lingyuan, with a smile on his face, writes letters one after another at his desk—
Upon closer inspection, those letters were addressed to the officials and ministers.
Qingyu suddenly remembered that Xue Lingyuan said he knew some secrets of the imperial court. She didn't expect he knew that too.
"Isn't he a fugitive? How does he know so much?" Qingyu murmured to herself, her slender fingers gently tapping out some details about Xue Lingyuan's story...
Well, there wasn't much explanation, only that someone in the family used to be an official, but later they suffered a great change.
Tsk, looks like it's because of his "deep" family wealth.
As Qingyu was thinking, Xue Lingyuan in the picture suddenly stopped writing and looked up at the sky as if he had sensed something.
Qingyu was startled. Could it be that he had noticed they were observing him? Then he thought it was impossible.
This guy has a keen sense of things... no wonder he's a troublesome villain.
Xue Lingyuan smiled mysteriously, sealed the letters one by one, and then summoned a servant-like man.
"Send these to the designated place without fail," Xue Lingyuan instructed.
The boy took the order and left.
Seeing that no one was in the room, Xue Lingyuan picked up his pen and began to ponder something, stroke by stroke.
Qingyu zoomed in and saw the general outline on the paper—
She pursed her lips, closed the video, and couldn't be bothered to watch it anymore.
What a joke! She's been painted like this in almost every world. She's so beautiful, she's never short of suitors, there's nothing new about it.
They're just a bunch of people obsessed with looks.
After discussing matters with her left and right protectors, Hua Wuyi walked towards Qingyu and couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the latter staring blankly at a certain spot.
"What are you thinking about? You're so focused."
Qingyu turned off the screen without making a sound, casually picked up a blade of grass next to her and began to knead it. Her pink nails against the fresh green color were inexplicably pleasing to the eye.
"Are you sure you can trust Xue Lingyuan?"
Hua Wuyi lowered her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "This person is not to be underestimated. His actions are likely to stir up even greater storms. But since he has made a promise, we might as well try to believe him. There is no other way anyway."
Qingyu, however, didn't take it to heart. "We'll deal with whatever comes our way, as long as the final result meets our expectations."
Hua smiled indulgently.

"Sister? What happened to you? Did that witch cast a spell on you?"
Ever since Lin Shiwan returned, Lin Shinian has noticed something is wrong with his younger sister. When he suggested that they find a way to attack the Demonic Sect and capture the witch, Lin Shiwan actually refused!
“Brother, you don’t understand. Qingyu is innocent. She’s such a wonderful person, yet all of you have made things difficult for her. How heartbroken she must be!” Lin Shiwan said with a face full of heartache, which made Lin Shinian’s forehead veins bulge.
"Are you crazy?"
Lin Shiwan bit her red lips. She didn't know how to explain to her brother, nor did she want to.
Qingyu is so beautiful... If my brother knew, would he have any designs on her? Would he try to take her away from her?
This idea made Lin Shiwan wary of Lin Shinian.
Lin Shinian naturally noticed this, and for a moment he just felt it was absurd.
