Mu Zhongxi was taken aback. “Huh? Little Martial Uncle is coming?”
Ming Xuan chimed in, “Doesn't he sleep all day?”
Calling him “he” left and right, with absolutely no respect for their elder.
Qin Fanfan said succinctly, “I heard that two dual-cultivation geniuses have arrived, and Xie Chuxue got curious, so he's coming in person.”
Xue Yu gave Luo Qingyu and Ye Qiao a sympathetic look. He suddenly felt that their quest was actually quite nice; anything was better than staying in the sect and being tormented by Little Martial Uncle.
Hearing that Xie Chuxue was coming, Luo Qingyu panicked inside. Although she had never been tortured by Xie Chuxue herself, recalling Ming Xuan and Xue Yu's past experiences made her conclude that Little Martial Uncle loved to roast kids over charcoal.
Just as the words left her mouth, the courtyard gate was pushed open.
A handsome young man walked in, rubbing his eyes as if he hadn't fully woken up yet. Spotting Mu Zhongxi, his light-brown eyes lit up slightly. “Are you that Ye Qiao?”
Ye Qiao leaned closer to Ming Xuan and couldn't help but whisper, “...Wait, is he blind?”
Ming Xuan pointed at his own head. “Little Martial Uncle has had issues up here for many years, yet our master still refuses to abandon him. Just bear with it.”
The ridiculous misunderstanding had barely ended, and before Luo Qingyu could even breathe a sigh of relief, Xie Chuxue suddenly turned his head, his gaze landing squarely on her as she watched the drama.
With a gentle smile, he spoke again, “Come, Xiaoyu, let Little Martial Uncle have a look at you.”
Alarm bells rang wildly in Luo Qingyu's mind, and she quickly stepped aside to dodge his outstretched hand.
Act, go on, keep acting. If she hadn't known the plot of the original novel, she probably would have been completely fooled by Xie Chuxue's current act today.
Seeing her dodge, Xie Chuxue immediately put on a hurt, aggrieved expression and turned to Qin Fanfan. “Does Xiaoyu hate me?”
Qin Fanfan couldn't take it anymore. He raised his hand and smacked him right on the head, saying in a low voice, “Get serious!”
Clutching his aching head, Xie Chuxue drooped his eyes pitifully. “I got it, Senior Brother.”
Turning to Xue Yu, Ming Xuan, and the other two, Qin Fanfan said, “You four head to Yunshui City right now. If there's danger, crush your jade slips to send a message.”
Mu Zhongxi was dragged away by Zhou Xingyun, looking completely reluctant.
Ming Xuan showed a look of sympathy and specifically warned the two, “Junior Sister, Fourth Junior Brother, Little Martial Uncle is extremely petty. You must stay far away from him.”
Beside him, Xue Yu opened his mouth to speak but hesitated. “You...”
“Just pray for yourselves.”
With that, he left as well.
Leaving behind a thoroughly bewildered Ye Qiao and a well-informed Luo Qingyu.
Luo Qingyu's heart tightened, and she immediately whispered, “Junior Sister, let's go! We need to run!”
She grabbed Ye Qiao's hand as she spoke, but before they could even take two steps, a complex array suddenly lit up around them, instantly trapping them both inside.
Caught completely off guard, Ye Qiao and Luo Qingyu crashed straight into the transparent barrier of the array.
“Holy crap!” Luo Qingyu clutched her bruised forehead and couldn't help but complain, “Little Martial Uncle, you're playing dirty!”
Xie Chuxue let out a lazy yawn, amusement dancing in his eyes as he spoke unhurriedly, “I had no choice. Who told you to try and run the moment you saw me?”
Ye Qiao instantly understood why Ming Xuan and Xue Yu had looked at them with such sympathy earlier.
She turned to Luo Qingyu. “Fourth Senior Brother, is Little Martial Uncle's brain wired normally?”
Luo Qingyu sighed helplessly. “I don't know if he's normal, but I do know that the two of us are about to suffer.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Chuxue snapped his fingers. The layout of the array instantly shifted, forcefully separating the two of them.
The moment they were separated, a barrage of continuous attacks rained down on them. There were sharp swords, demonic qi, and a mix of both magical and physical attacks.
Ye Qiao was caught completely off guard, unable to find the core of the array to break it.
Luo Qingyu, on the other hand, was doing relatively well, having already mentally prepared herself.
As the array's attacks surged toward her, her mind raced, quickly searching for the core hidden within the array.
Just as she was about to strike the array's weak core, Xie Chuxue said with a beaming smile, “I didn't expect Xiaoyu to be so capable, finding the core so quickly.”
With a wave of his hand, he casually altered the array's layout, and the surrounding attacks instantly shifted once more.
Luo Qingyu couldn't help but curse on the spot, “Damn it, Little Martial Uncle, you're a real dog!”
