Lights on the other side

Chapter 93 Mask

Li Ruoci didn't look up.

A cold light came, and he raised his sword to block it. Xu Wan took this opportunity to retreat below.

Li Ruoci twitched his lips and said, "Sect Master Gu."

Wearing a black robe, Gu Ling walked in leisurely, followed by only two subordinates, who saw everything that happened, but seemed to turn a blind eye to it, he said: "Ruoci, you don't have to make such a big move."

Li Ruoci asked back: "Then what? I want his life, will he give it to me obediently?"

Gu Ling stepped forward slowly: "If you want to go, I won't make things difficult for you."

"That's what I thought when I came here, but now I've changed my mind."

Gu Ling raised her eyebrows, and a gust of wind swept past, forcing Li Ruoci to take a few steps back.Li Ruoci stabilized his figure, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll leave after I kill Xu Wan."

Gu Ling heard this, chuckled lightly, and said, "Then how about we discuss it?"

Li Ruoci didn't answer.

Gu Ling walked up to Xu Wan's side, and slapped her back mercilessly, shattering her internal organs.

This movement was so fast and ruthless that the people present didn't even have time to react.Xu Wan fell down in a daze, opened his mouth, and said in disbelief, "Sect Master."

But Gu Ling didn't look at him, she withdrew her hand indifferently, and said, "Now that I've killed him, can you give me the sword?"

An obvious sense of oppression came from Gu Ling's body, Li Ruoci's hand holding the sword tightened, and Pei Shi supported his shoulder from behind.

Pei Shi said: "Sect Master Gu, I'm afraid that if we give you the sword now, Mr. Xiaoyun will not be able to save him."

"Yun Liujin is my subordinate, I won't leave him alone, Xu Wan killed his fellow disciples privately, and I have already cleaned up the sect, so you don't have to worry about the rest."

Hearing this, Pei Shi and Li Ruoci looked at each other, then at Li Mo'er, who nodded slightly.

Li Ruoci nodded and said, "That's good."

Gu Ling waved her hand and said to the people behind her, "Bring them to Wumu Hall."

The two subordinates in black took a step forward and said, "Please."

The three of them walked out with the two subordinates.After entering Wumu Hall, Li Mo'er gently placed Yun Liujin on the couch, stood by his side, and helped him tidy up the messy hair around his ears.She said: "Yun Liujin, after everything is fine, let's go back together."

"Back to where?"

"Where are you talking? This time I went back and saw that the locust tree was still alive, and the flowers had bloomed for a few rounds."

"Really?" Yun Liujin slightly hooked the corners of his lips.

The color on his lips was gone, and his pale face made his ebony eyes even darker.Li Mo'er looked distressed, and said again: "I also met Bai Wanwan, she said she misses you very much."

"She misses me? Does she like me?"

Li Mo'er smiled with tears: "Yes, she has always wanted her family to betroth her to you. She has grown up now, and she looks pretty good. Your parents also know each other."

"I won't marry her, she has such a bad temper."

While speaking, Yun Liujin coughed a few times, his face paled a little from the pain, and cold sweat dripped on his forehead.

Li Mo'er hastily held his hand.

Li Ruoci came over and asked, "Is Guili Sword useful to you?"

Yun Liujin looked up at him and said, "Li Ruoci, I'm not dead yet."

Then, he said again: "I didn't expect Xu Wan to find you here."

"Who else is there besides Xu Wan?"

"what?"

"Did Yunlu participate in it? It can't be that Xu Wan is the only one."

"Yes, I saw Yunlu, but is he still here?"

Seeing Li Ruoci frowned slightly, Pei Shi asked, "What's wrong with this man?"

"He came here a few years later than me. From the beginning to the end, I never saw what he looked like, but he knew where I went and what I had in my hand, which made me wonder whether he was who?"

While speaking, a man in black came in from outside, and said respectfully: "Third Young Master, the suzerain asked you to go there."

Li Ruoci nodded: "Okay."

Pei Shi said from the side, "I'll accompany you."

Li Ruoci glanced at him, and said again: "Okay."

The man in black led the way in front, and the two followed behind. The corridor was winding and deep in the darkness, only the sound of footsteps and breathing could be heard, and the moist air rushed towards the face and penetrated into the lungs.

Pei Shi whispered to Li Ruoci, "Why do you want to build an underground palace? Isn't it good on the ground?"

Li Ruoci smiled silently, and said: "A flower in the dark can't stand the sun's rays. There is a possibility that it will be burned by the sun, and it will never recover. Another possibility is that it will long for the sun when it sees too much sunshine. I can no longer tolerate the current life, but sadly find that the sun never stays for it.”

Pei Shi seemed to be touched for a moment: "Will you stay for him?"

The figure in front loomed in the shadows, and the sleeves slipped silently in an instant.

"I didn't say this, it was Gu Ling who said it, and he was also a disciple of Wuxitian."

"Then he should have a deep understanding of these words." Pei Shi said.

Rumor has it that Gu Ling is not only jealous of Xie Zijin, but also covets the head of Wuxitian. So, is he the one who turns into ashes under the sun, or the one who spends his whole life chasing the sun that doesn't belong to him?

"Okay, let's not talk about this, here we are."

The man in black in front stopped in front of a door, then retreated silently.Without the slightest hesitation, Li Ruoci reached out and opened the door.He has been in Lianyetian for so many years, but he has never entered here.

Inside the door is a different scene. There is no faint blue fire, and there are imperceptible luminous pearls inlaid everywhere, exuding soft light, wrapping people inside, like a lover's fingers, gently touching.

Gu Ling was standing in the center, and the person wearing the white mask was also here. Beside them was a sarcophagus. Hearing the sound, Gu Ling raised her head.

Only then did Li Ruoci realize that the black pattern on the white mask looked like a strange smile, and he said, "Yunlu."

Yunlu responded: "Third Young Master, you found the sword first, but it is reasonable."

"What do you mean by that?"

Yunlu ignored him, turned around and said to Gu Ling, "Sovereign, it's alright."

Li Ruoci drew out the Guili Sword and said, "Give it to you."

He watched Yunlu approaching calmly.

The blade of the sword was facing Yunlu, and Yunlu didn't tell him to turn around, but just touched the blade lightly with his fingers, and the two met, as if reunited after a long absence.

Yunlu's finger continued to swipe across it, and finally stopped at a certain place. He smiled and said, "Why don't you let it go?"

"Because I don't want to give it to you."

"So far, have you regretted it?"

"I don't know what you want to do yet. I remember playing chess with you before. At that time, I only thought that you are good at chess. You always set up the game before a few moves, waiting for me to walk in."

Li Ruoci held the sword, raised his head, and looked at Yunlu through the mask.

He said again: "So, where do you plan to end up next? Xie Yun?"

The surrounding air became quiet for a while, and the people under the mask did not refute.

He laughed for no reason, slowly took off his mask, and said, "Ah Yan, how did you know?"
