Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 553 - 213: Demon Sect Remnants, Saintess Followers

Qin Gengyun felt a bit helpless. Actually, he understood Little Hammer’s meaning. The so-called "liking" was not about romantic feelings between a man and a woman, but because during their journey to the Northern Wilderness, they fought side by side, hence developing a bond through adversity.

It’s just that Little Hammer’s way of speaking was careless, causing misunderstandings.

However, now, with Cheng Qingyu pressing the issue, Little Hammer’s disturbance actually provided a way out, making Cheng Qingyu dare not push it too far.

At present, he clasped his hands and said to several commanding disciples:

"Senior Brothers and Sisters, although Fairy Su is not a member of our Zhenyang Sect, she can still discern right from wrong, and knows that Lan Yin is innocently accused. Please, commanding disciples, do not be biased, lest we become a joke, allowing the real culprit to succeed!"

Zhang Zheng and Chen Yunfeng exchanged a glance, Zhang Zheng said, "Junior Sister Cheng, this matter is full of doubts, it’s indeed inappropriate to rashly suspect our fellow disciple."

Chun Ningzhi snorted coldly. He couldn’t stand this man who had let down Senior Sister Ye, but he still had some sense. He said coldly:

"You make sense, but after finding out the truth, you must give Senior Sister Ye an explanation!"

All three commanding disciples spoke, which made Cheng Qingyu’s face a bit unsightly. She said to Sister Suxin and Jian Yue:

"Senior Sister Suxin, Senior Sister Ye, what about you?"

Suxin sighed, "We should first gather the bodies of our two junior brothers."

Jian Yue’s voice was clear and cold, "Lan Yin was brought back by me from the Northern Wilderness. If he has any problems, I will be the first to bind myself and beg for forgiveness."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Qingyu had nothing more to say and could only turn away sullenly, not even caring about the bodies of her two lackeys.

Mo Xiaolan clasped her hands to several commanding disciples, "Thank you, Senior Brothers and Sisters."

Chen Yunfeng said, "Although Junior Sister Cheng was hasty, her words still hold some sense. We should capture the real culprit as soon as possible."

This meant that Mo Xiaolan’s suspicion has not been completely cleared, and it was also a kind of warning.

Mo Xiaolan said calmly, "I will certainly help Senior Brothers and Sisters catch the murderer!"

Then everyone gathered the bodies of Zheng Wei and the others, and assigned more people to stand guard, before returning to their rooms.

Qin Gengyun said to Little Hammer, "Little Hammer, thank you for helping us."

"I was not helping you!" Little Hammer snorted, pointing at Qiu Zhihe, "Hey, you owe me one. When we get to Cyan Lotus Mountain, you must fight me!"

After saying this, he carried his large hammer and hummed a little tune as he walked away.

They returned to their place, and Liu Su pulled Mo Xiaolan aside, saying:

"Xiaolan, was it really not you?"

Mo Xiaolan looked at her helplessly, Liu Su shrugged and asked Qiu Zhihe instead:

"Miss, was it you then?"

Qiu Zhihe glanced at her and said to everyone, "It’s not someone from the Zhenyang Sect."

Qin Gengyun was taken aback and quickly asked, "My wife, how do you know?"

Qiu Zhihe didn’t answer, she just said lightly, "Everyone’s tired tonight. Let’s rest."

Then she raised her hand to create a Defense Array and urged everyone to return to their rooms to rest.

"My wife..."

Qin Gengyun was about to speak when Qiu Zhihe said to him:

"You and Huang share a room."

Then she went into a room by herself and closed the door.

Liu Su scratched her head, "Miss seems a bit off, doesn’t she?"

The Phoenix let out a cry, expressing agreement.

Qin Gengyun paused in silence, then said calmly, "Everyone, rest."

...

An hour later.

In the woods outside the village.

"Damn it, they didn’t start fighting!"

"Elder Wu, what should we do?"

They expected the disciples of the Zhenyang Sect to have an internal fight but were disappointed. As they watched the opponents return to their rooms and the village regain its calm, they were at a loss for what to do.

"Damn it! Wu, why don’t we just rush in and kill them?"

Xue Wen rolled up his sleeves, eyes filled with murderous intent, and said to Xue Wu.

The two brothers, one in martial arts and one in literature, Xue Wen was impatient and, seeing a group of enemies right in front of him, couldn’t bear to wait any longer.

Xue Wu quickly said, "We might not even be able to handle Ye Xiyue alone, rushing in would be a death wish."

Xue Wen was furious, "I don’t care! I want to avenge the Saintess! At most, I will perish together with Ye Xiyue!"

"Yes! Rush in to avenge the Saintess!"

The others also picked up their Magical Artifacts, looking ready to sacrifice themselves generously.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of them.

Her features were stunningly beautiful, with half snow-white and half fiery-red hair, an exquisite figure both elegant and alluring, combining regal elegance with a bewitching charm.

Everyone was instantly stunned, and the brawny Xue Wen even burst into tears, falling on his knees:

"Saintess!!"

The others also knelt down, emotionally overwhelmed, tears streaming down their faces, voices choked with emotion:

"Saintess!!"

Xue Wu looked up, his forehead reddened with his earlier bow, trembling with excitement all over:

"So the Saintess is safe and sound! Heaven has not forsaken our Cyan Lotus Sect!"

The others all cried their hearts out, a group of big men kneeling before a woman, each wailing mournfully, it looked somewhat comical.

One can’t blame them. Since hearing of the Sect Leader and Saintess’s death, they had lost all hope, becoming lost souls.

They could only hide and wander, not daring even to return to Cyan Lotus Mountain, for fear of encountering those of the Righteous Path again.

Originally, they had vowed to seek revenge before committing suicide to follow the Sect Leader and Saintess.

Unexpectedly, today the Saintess appeared suddenly, like a dawn in the darkness, lighting up their hopeless path!

Xia Qinglian also had tears in her beautiful eyes, she helped them up one by one, saying:

"Xue Wen, Xue Wu, Ding Daohua, Teng Lian, Xiaoleng..."

Over thirty people, she called out each person’s name, finally choking on her own words:

"It’s wonderful that you’re alive!"

Back then, she and her master were lured away by Chen Qingmo. When they learned of the massacre at Cyan Lotus Mountain, they were surrounded by experts from the Three Great Sects.

After an earth-shattering battle, her master helped Xia Qinglian fake her death and escape. The severely injured Xia Qinglian fled to the Eastern Cultivation Land, where she met Qin Gengyun.

She thought, besides herself and Liu Su, everyone else in the Cyan Lotus Sect was dead. Unexpectedly, Xue Wen, Xue Wu, and others survived.

It’s just that Xia Qinglian and the literary and martial people all lived incognito, never crossing paths until now.

Today, while examining Zheng Wei’s body, she sensed the aura of the Enchanting Talisman, leading her to discover Xue Wen, Xue Wu, and others.

It took everything to remain calm until Qin Gengyun and the others fell asleep, then she snuck out for this reunion with her former comrades.

At this moment, she too was overwhelmed with emotion, tears flowing from her beautiful eyes:

"You’ve suffered so much!"

Xue Wu wiped away the tears from his face, knelt again, and said deeply:

"The Saintess is unharmed, truly heaven has not forsaken our Cyan Lotus Sect! We pledge to follow the Saintess through fire and water, fearing no death!!"

Xue Wen was staring at Xia Qinglian’s pretty face, and hearing his brother’s words, he quickly knelt too:

"To die for the Saintess is my lifelong wish!"

The others also knelt in unison, their voices filled with fearless resolve:

"Willing to die for the Saintess!!"
