Chapter 37 The Second Elder's Bizarre Hobbies
On the other side, the head of the Spirit Weapon Hall and the second elder brought Yuan Shuo to the outside of Spirit Moon Peak.
With their special tokens, they quickly entered the protective array of Lingyue Peak and searched everywhere for Lanyue's figure.
The head of the Spirit Artifact Hall was actually thinking the same thing as the sect leader. He was also very busy these days, busy trying to atone for his sins and busy searching for healing medicines for his little nephew.
However, when Yuan Shuo woke up, it was the time when he needed someone to be with him the most.
The head of the Spirit Artifact Hall was also very worried that the Demon Abyss Rift would reappear, and that strange demonic hand would grab his nephew.
After all, Lan Yue had already said that in the original story, it was his nephew who was originally captured by the demonic hand, not Yuanbao.
Now that the plot has changed, instead of living in constant fear, he might as well send his nephew to Lanyue.
After all, this is someone who possesses a celestial artifact! Moreover, the power of the Silver Snow Ancient Sword should not be underestimated.
Therefore, he trusted Lan Yue's side more than the sect's protective array.
"Xiao Shuo, you'll stay at Lingyue Peak for a while. I'll come pick you up after I'm done with my work." Yuan Su looked at the boy beside her, feeling a little reluctant to part with him.
However reluctant he was, there was nothing he could do; he had things he had to do, and...
The head of the Spirit Artifact Hall sighed inwardly as he looked at his nephew, who remained silent.
Moreover, Yuan Shuo may have been traumatized. Apart from saying last time that he would give the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade to Lan Yue, he hasn't said a word since.
The boy's face was exceptionally thin, smaller than the palm of his hand, and above that were dark, brooding eyes that looked very worrying.
How come he hadn't noticed those eyes that were so similar to Xia Xia's before?
The element felt heartbroken whenever it thought about this.
With a heart full of worries, he followed the Second Elder and found the two men who were already asleep on a patch of grass.
Beside the two little girls, a group of dark green spirit turtles were lazily lying there, as if guarding something.
As they saw the group of turtles approaching, the turtles became wary, stretching their green necks and swaying their long tails anxiously.
It was Erdan who recognized the two elders and let out a low gurgling sound, which quieted down the other spirit turtles.
"Are these two asleep?" The Second Elder looked at the scene and was both amused and exasperated.
He remembered that the sect leader sent Yunxi here so that she could cultivate properly, but once she met Lanyue, the whole thing changed.
Well, these children only have a few more years left to be carefree.
The Abyss Rift has reappeared, and there's movement again in the Demon Realm.
Based on Lan Yue's inner thoughts, it can be inferred that Nanling will only be able to live a peaceful life for the next few years.
"Yuan Shuo, you've been following Lan Yue around all this time. You even gave her something last time." The Second Elder squatted down and looked at the silent boy.
As expected, upon hearing Lan Yue's name, Yuan Shuo's eyes lit up, and he pursed his lips as he looked at the distant grassland.
The head of the Spirit Weapon Hall behind him was overjoyed. Sure enough, sending the person over was the right choice!
The two of them led Yuan Shuo slowly closer, and finally noticed what was in the mouths of those spirit turtles.
The Second Elder, in particular, looked suspiciously at the familiar fish tail and then at the bonfire that had been set up not far away, his sense of foreboding growing stronger.
When the spirit turtle in front of him flipped the fish in its claws over, revealing its complete body, the Second Elder's eyes were already bloodshot.
"No wonder there are fewer and fewer fish I'm raising, they've all been eaten by you!" the Second Elder said in a grief-stricken voice.
This roar completely woke Lan Yue up. She stretched on the grass, but before she could react to what was happening, Erdan grabbed her by the tail and quickly ran away.
Realizing something was wrong, the group of spirit turtles scattered and flew away. Even Yunxi was swept away and looked blankly at the Second Elder who was getting further and further away.
"Trying to run away? I should have known it was you! After all, the only place nearby is Lingyue Peak!!" The Second Elder chased after them with a look of grief and indignation, and the group of spirit turtles sped up in fright.
And so it fled while it chased, and the two engaged in a fierce pursuit.
Lan Yue finally realized what had happened. She felt incredibly guilty and quickly hugged Erdan tightly.
Influenced by this atmosphere, the spirit of the Silver Snow Sword behind her also appeared, jumped into her arms, and nervously looked around.
"We've been discovered! Quick, speed up!"
"My fellow turtle soldiers, listen to my command! We'll scatter and flee! Every one who escapes is a victory! If two escape, we'll have made a profit!"
Then, a group of spirit turtles scattered and fled in the air once again on Lingyue Peak.
The head of the Spirit Artifact Hall on the ground twitched at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, he shared the same thought as Yun Chong: Lan Yue seemed so unreliable...
Amidst the chaos, the leader of the Spirit Hall suddenly heard laughter.
He turned his head and saw that his usually silent nephew had somehow started to smile and was looking curiously at the group of spirit turtles flying in the sky.
The head of the Spirit Weapon Hall was practically weeping with joy!
What's this called? This is something you can get without even trying!
The Second Elder had already given up, intending not to stoop to the level of those kids.
Unexpectedly, the head of the Spirit Weapon Hall excitedly transmitted his voice to him: "Second Elder, my nephew smiled! As long as he smiles, it means he will soon be able to get over his inner conflict! I would appreciate it if you could chase after Lan Yue a little longer. When that happens, you can choose any spirit weapon you want from my personal cave!"
As one of the few weapon-refining masters in the Southern Region, Element is just that capricious!
As soon as he sent this message, even though the Second Elder had already decided to stop, he immediately picked up his spirit sword and continued to chase after them.
What's the point of having principles? He's been eyeing a magical artifact from the Spiritual Artifact Hall for a long time; only a fool would stop now!
Then Lan Yue noticed that the Second Elder had sped up his pace again!
She let out a terrible scream and secretly asked Yin Xue to help her by increasing her speed.
As the two sides continued their exchange, she watched the Second Elder getting closer and closer, and felt that things couldn't go on like this. So, she became emboldened and simply had Yin Xue take Yuan Shuo hostage.
Yuan Shuo's sudden disappearance caused chaos, and the head of the Spirit Weapon Hall also came after him.
"Are we running for our lives now?" the boy's low voice came through.
"Yes, of course we're running for our lives, and you've been taken hostage. If you know what's good for you, hand over your valuables!" Lan Yue snorted twice.
Yuan Shuo, who was being "held hostage," was stunned for a moment, then decisively handed over his storage ring.
This time, Lan Yue was stunned. She looked at Yuan Shuo as if he were a fool.
"Fine, you can keep it yourself. From now on, we're allies! If you see anything in the future, don't tell anyone!" Lan Yue said irritably as she stuffed the storage ring back into her hand.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shuo nodded obediently.
Looking at the well-behaved Yuan Shuo, Lan Yue suddenly felt a little guilty.
[Lan Yue: Sigh, such a good child, I can't bear to destroy such a beautiful flower.]
The head of the Spirit Weapon Hall, who was behind them, almost fainted from anger when he heard this voice.
What did Lan Yue just do? What does it mean to ruthlessly destroy a flower?
Don't ask, the head of the Spirit Weapon Hall is now filled with regret, deep regret!
[Lan Yue: Er Dan and the others have been eating fish for so long, and it turns out they were all raised by the Second Elder himself. I'm really sorry. How about I see if the Second Elder has been busy lately and secretly remind him?]
The Second Elder, who had been chasing after him, stiffened and almost gave up.
But thinking of the magical artifact he had longed for, he gritted his teeth and chased after it.
[Lan Yue: Huh? The Second Elder has such a bizarre hobby! He actually likes to listen to people fart!]
"Lan Yue, prepare to die!" The Second Elder was so angry that he almost lost his mind. What did he mean by liking to hear people talk nonsense?
He was just... he was just...
[Lan Yue: Holy crap, the Second Elder is serious! He's really angry this time!]
Lan Yue quickly climbed onto Yin Xue and then pulled Yuan Shuo and Yun Xi up behind her.
"Quick, quick, let's run! I'll apologize in person once the Second Elder has regained his senses!"
[Lan Yue: Who would have thought that such a dignified Second Elder would have such a peculiar hobby in private? You can only say that appearances can be deceiving!]
Even the elements looked at the Second Elder with suspicion and uncertainty in their eyes.
That look seemed to say, "Second Elder, so this is what you are like. I misjudged you before!"
The Second Elder was practically spitting blood; he could feel his Fifth Brother's despair.
Lan Yue really has a mouth; she dares to say anything that's on her mind!
