BSI Chapter 167 Carry Me Back
Chapter 167 Carry Me Back
After a busy day, when he returned to the sword array center again, it was already dark.
Although it was ten thousand meters high in the sky, the climate in the Sword-hidden Valley was very suitable. The warm night breeze blew on his body, and the fresh air rich in spiritual energy was inhaled into his lungs. He felt refreshed and all his tiredness was swept away.
"Grand Master Ye, I have roughly understood the protective array. Now I will return the token to you."
Zhao Mu took the token and found Grand Master Ye Chengming who was still busy.
At this moment, Elder Ye was concentrating on fiddling with an exquisite and mysterious magic weapon in his hand. Every moment, tens of thousands of divine patterns were released from the magic weapon and fell into the core of the formation.
He had no time to pay attention to Zhao Mu at all. He waved his hand and said, "Keep the token. I don't need it."
"Then I'll take my leave."
Zhao Mu was secretly happy. If he could hold the token for a long time, it would be much more convenient for him to do things later.
"Could it be that you want this old man to keep you for a meal?"
This Grand Master Ye's temper was really bad.
Zhao Mu smiled and left resentfully.
Not long after, Zhao Mu returned home.
Before he entered the door, he saw Wu Miaomiao sitting on the stone steps outside the door. She seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
When Wu Miaomiao saw Zhao Mu coming back, she immediately jumped up and walked to Zhao Mu's side in two or three steps. She was very attentive to offer fragrant tea and a hot towel, massaging his shoulders and back, and tidying his clothes.
"Master, you are really too awesome. Today, the story of your Withered Tree Ten-Layered Array has spread. The Array Masters who work with us are almost praising you to the heavens. Many people want to ask you for advice. Hehe, I have sent them all away. Master, don't worry, your disciple knows that you like peace and quiet. With me around, no one will come to disturb you."
What a considerate little cotton-padded jacket.
Zhao Mu suddenly regretted it.
He regretted not taking in a few disciples earlier.
"Follow me into the house. Although it's a little late today, it's not a problem to find time to teach you."
Zhao Mu was still thinking about the number of times he didn't use today.
He also wanted to know if a little genius like Wu Miaomiao would be able to return more experience points if he taught array formations.
Wu Miaomiao was pleasantly surprised, but she still said carefully, "Don't worry, Master. If you are tired, it won't be too late to teach me when you have time. Disciple's primary task is to be filial to Master. Learning skills is secondary."
"This girl … has such a sweet mouth," Zhao Mu couldn't help but praise her.
At first, he thought that Wu Miaomiao was a shy girl from a respectable family. Who knew that she would reveal her true colors as soon as they got to know each other?
She was just a little bootlicker.
If it weren't for the sincerity in her expression, Zhao Mu would have suspected that she had been possessed by a thousand-year-old demon. Otherwise, how could she speak in such a greasy and mushy manner?
"Don't worry, I'll give you two hours. If there's anything you want to learn, just tell me."
Zhao Mu led Wu Miaomiao into the house.
Surprisingly, the empress was nowhere to be seen. She only left a note saying that she was going out for a walk and would be back late.
Most likely, he wanted to find the whereabouts of Old Ancestor Sheng Yuan.
To be honest, Zhao Mu was still a little worried.
Although there shouldn't be any danger in the Hidden Sword Valley, the empress's beautiful face was really attractive. If she was targeted by some perverted hooligan, there was still a certain risk.
Zhao Mu was about to go out and look for her, but he stopped after a few steps.
It wasn't good to be too nosy. She was the empress, not Little Candy.
"Little bastard, go out and work!"
Zhao Mu thought for a while and still didn't go out. But he still summoned the little bastard and let it follow the scent to find the empress.
Wu Miaomiao saw all of this and rolled her eyes. She moved closer to Zhao Mu and said, "Shizun, you really sympathize with your servants. Sister Tang Qing must be very happy to be with you. I'm so envious."
"Stop flattering me. Be serious and get ready for class."
"Okay."
Two hours later.
"Ding! You have imparted the array and triggered a thousandfold return. Your array skills have greatly improved."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for becoming an eighth-grade array master."
Damn it.
Hearing the system prompt, Zhao Mu was both surprised and delighted.
The effect was too powerful.
She had actually broken through to become an eighth-grade array master.
It seemed that accepting a disciple was indeed the right choice. It was much more efficient than chatting with five silly spirit beasts all day long.
Wu Miaomiao's face was also full of joy at this time.
In this short two hours of learning, she had benefited a lot.
"Master, you are really a genius array master. With your talent and attainments, I'm afraid it will only take a few years for you to become a grandmaster of a generation!"
"Go back and rest. I still have things to do."
Zhao Mu straightforwardly asked him to leave.
Wu Miaomiao nodded and left.
Zhao Mu also went out and followed the little bastard's scent.
Not long after, Zhao Mu found the little bastard beside a small river.
It was crawling on the ground, looking up at a broken bridge on the river.
A light drizzle began to fall from the sky. Tang Qing, dressed in black, held an oil-paper umbrella and stood on the broken bridge for a long time. His back was slightly thin.
Under the night sky, the cool night breeze blew through her silky black hair. She seemed to be a little cold and subconsciously shrank her body.
At the same time, a warm coat was draped over Tang Qing's body.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she subconsciously felt flustered. However, when she saw that familiar face, her heart immediately calmed down.
She even felt a rare sense of relief.
"I went to the Stars Sacred Ground today, but I didn't find any valuable information. I can't be sure if Sheng Yuan Patriarch is imprisoned here." Zhao Mu said.
"I can feel father's scent. He is here." Tang Qing looked at the water and said.
"The bottom of the river?"
Zhao Mu looked at the clear river water. This place didn't seem to be used to hide people.
"It's not the bottom of the river. It's in front of us."
Zhao Mu was even more confused. In front of them?
Besides the air and flying insects, was there anything else in front of them?
"The position is the same, but the space is different." Tang Qing explained.
The space was different?
Zhao Mu instantly understood.
There was a hidden space cave in this place!
"Is there a way to enter?" Zhao Mu asked.
Tang Qing shook his head. "Let's not talk about the current me. Even if I was at my peak, I wouldn't be able to open this layer of spatial barrier. This barrier was set up by the Sword God Qu Liu. Other than Celestial Realm experts, no one can open it."
Zhao Mu frowned.
This was not good news.
Did he have to deal with Sword God Qu Liu first if he wanted to save Ancestor Sheng Yuan?
That was one of the Five Supremes of the human race, the strongest sword cultivator in the Immortal Martial Continent, Sword God Qu Liu!
Zhao Mu fell silent. He couldn't think of a better idea.
Tang Qing didn't say anything either. Her slender and fair fingers tightly gripped the coat that Zhao Mu had draped over her. In the end, she let out a soft sigh.
"Let's think of another way. At least I know my father's exact location now, and I'm very sure that my father is still alive. This is already the best news for now."
Zhao Mu nodded.
"It's windy outside. You should go home first. Don't catch a cold."
"I'm tired. Carry me back."
"Hmm … Ah?"
