Chapter 366 The Aloof and Holy Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [42]
Although his eyes were always calm and indifferent, as still as water, undisturbed.
But when Xiu Jie rushed over after hearing the commotion, he felt that Xiu Jie's gaze was very different from the one he had shown when facing him that day.
The high priest's eyes were so cold and devoid of any human emotion that day.
It was as if that face, devoid of desires and wants, would never reveal any emotion other than that.
But now, perhaps it was the moonlight, Xiu Jie felt that the Grand Master's gaze seemed to soften for a moment for no reason, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be an illusion caused by his haste to arrive.
Perhaps the Grand Master's gaze was actually just a cold, scrutinizing look, like the moon.
The person he was scrutinizing, the person he was embracing, was none other than the Demon Emperor.
Xiu Jie snapped back to reality after seeing Jiang Xiyu's face clearly.
When he saw that Jiang Xiyu was leaning weakly in Shijia's arms, his face was turning pale and then red, looking rather unwell.
The Grand Mage's actions in causing such a commotion in the First Domain were already inappropriate. However, remembering Jiang Xiyu's instructions, Xiu Jie decided not to shut it down. He saw the sword shadow formed by the golden lotus fall directly to this place and thought that Shijia had found what he was looking for. He wanted to come and see what it was that could make the Grand Mage come to the Demon Realm to find it. He did not expect to see such a scene when he arrived.
After hesitating for a while, Xiu Jie coughed heavily, looked at Shi Jia, then at Jiang Xiyu whom he was holding, and asked, "What is the Grand Master doing?"
Shiga moved his hand that was gripping Jiang Xiyu's wrist, his fingertips subtly probing his meridians. Seeing that the energy in his body was stable and that the pain between Jiang Xiyu's brows had lessened, he slowly raised his eyelids and coldly glanced at Xiu Jie.
He did not answer Xiu Jie's question. His aura was as vast and tolerant as the sea, yet it also carried an innate solemnity like that of a Buddha, inspiring awe and making him seem unworthy of desecration.
Xiu Jie did not believe in Buddhism, but he knew that this was someone he could not afford to offend. Moreover, he respected Buddhism's ability to save people from suffering. So, he put his hands together and said, "Great Master, you have set up a magic array here late at night. I wonder if you have found what you are looking for? If you have, I can go back and report to the Demon Emperor."
Xiu Jie emphasized the words "Demon Emperor" very heavily.
He also glanced at Jiang Xiyu almost imperceptibly.
Jiang Xiyu seemed to sense something and shifted her gaze away, giving him a brief, indifferent look before looking away as if she didn't recognize him.
Xiu Jie knew that Jiang Xiyu's identity could not be exposed, and seeing that Jiang Xiyu's face was pale, he did not understand what had happened to Jiang Xiyu, so he could only remain silent.
Shiga waited quietly for him to finish speaking, and when he stopped talking, he said in a low voice, "This thing is hidden in the Demon Emperor's Palace."
The magic circle first points towards the Demon Emperor's Palace, and only then towards this place.
After hearing this, Jiang Xiyu's pupils widened slightly, then she lowered her eyes, her expression calm.
Upon hearing that the item Shiga was looking for was in the Demon Emperor's Palace, Xiu Jie's expression turned serious. He said, "This is a major matter. If it is truly as the Grand Master said, I must first report to His Majesty the Demon Emperor before I can make a decision."
As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Xiyu again and continued, "However, His Majesty's whereabouts are a mystery. I would like to ask the Grand Master to wait a few days."
The Demon Emperor's Palace is unlike any other place.
Shiga knew this, so he nodded slightly in agreement with Xiujie's words.
Jiang Xiyu leaned quietly against him, and from the meaning of Shijia's words, she was probably convinced that evil thoughts were in his palace.
He closed his eyes, tilted his head, and transformed back into his original form.
Shiga reached out and pulled him into his arms.
He looked down and saw that Jiang Xiyu had closed her eyes and looked listless, as if she were sick.
Just as he was about to carry him away, Xiu Jie said in time, "Grand Master, this cat demon in your hand is somewhat similar to the spirit pet I lost after the battle at the Immortal Cultivation Sect..."
Shiga calmly raised his eyes, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
He waited calmly for Xiu Jie to finish his sentence. His hand, which was resting on Jiang Xiyu's back, had long sleeves that seemed to unintentionally cover most of Jiang Xiyu's cat-like face.
Seeing Jiang Xiyu's sickly appearance, Xiu Jie assumed that something had really happened to him, so he suggested, "But, let's just leave the lost one behind. I'll just get another one."
"However, the cat I see now seems to be sick. Why don't we invite the Grand Mage to stay at my palace for a few days? This will allow us to await His Majesty's reply and also observe the movements of the item you are looking for in the Demon Emperor's Palace."
sick?
Shiga lowered his eyes, looking at Jiang Xiyu with his drooping white tail and cat ears.
He's never owned a cat before, so he doesn't know if he's sick...
All he knew was that when he arrived, the cat was badly injured and emanated an aura of malice.
Perhaps there are some wounds he is unaware of.
Shiga frowned slightly, raised his arm slightly, and pulled the warm body in his arms closer.
He looked at Xiu Jie and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Xiu Jie gestured for him to enter.
"You flatter me, Master."
After saying that, Xiu Jie took the initiative to lead the way, and Shi Jia carried Jiang Xiyu and followed slowly behind him.
Jiang Xiyu buried his fluffy head in Shijia's arms and listened for a long time before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
He pretended to faint so that Shiga would leave the place first.
Fortunately, Xiu Jie spoke up, saying that as long as Shi Jia stayed in Xiu Jie's cave, Jiang Xiyu had a way to handle things. He instructed Xiu Jie to arrange the rest. However, after feigning unconsciousness, he would still have to deal with Shi Jia's questioning when he woke up.
Jiang Xiyu felt increasingly tired as she thought about it, so she simply closed her eyes and rested in Shijia's arms.
He felt the aura surrounding him, and for some reason, he felt that the aura was very cold, even colder than when he was at Tide Ridge. Even when Jiang Xiyu was leaning against Shiga, he could hardly hear Shiga's heartbeat.
Everything was hazy, as if shrouded in mist. Eventually, Jiang Xiyu succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
The bright moon hangs high, the golden lotus has dispersed, and the people have also dispersed.
After they dispersed, the night became quiet and still.
Only one person stood behind the blooming roses, gazing at the night as the magic array dissipated, his pupils deep red.
Everything that happened within the formation was seen by Yuejia.
He naturally saw that Jiang Xiyu had gone to great lengths to protect him.
At that moment, the roses in front of him seemed to sense their master's pain. Their petals trembled and swayed, falling one after another onto his flowing white veil, forming a thin layer as if to shield him from the dust.
A rosebud that had not yet fallen was swayed by the wind, gently caressing the back of Yuejia's hand.
Yuejia lowered her gaze, her expression indifferent, her face devoid of any emotion.
He simply stopped to look at the rose of Sharon, a rare moment of quiet contemplation, his red eyes serene.
