Chapter 263 The Witch of the Martial World 4
Qingyu's eyes were clear and captivating. The mother and daughter didn't want to answer, but they couldn't help but start crying.
“My father has been missing for ten days now. The place he went to… is the place in town where evil spirits are suppressed. We went to look for it, but there was no trace of him. Now the house is…”
At this point, the daughter hugged her mother tightly and began to sob softly again, glancing at Qingyu between sobs.
Qingyu showed no emotion, but since she was willing to offer the money in order to elicit this explanation, she immediately nodded and said, "I understand. I will go find someone."
For some reason, the mother and daughter felt uneasy looking at the woman in front of them. The mother, who had seen more of the world, gritted her teeth and said, "Actually... there's no need for you to go to such lengths, young lady. That scoundrel treated me badly, but now that I have money, I won't have to suffer."
Qingyu looked up and sized up the two of them with a half-smile.
In the original storyline, the mother and daughter already had problems, which were only described as being forced. But now that Qingyu has seen it, she doesn't feel that she was being forced at all.
Her gaze was so intense, as if she could see through everything, that the mother and daughter dared not meet her eyes, and felt the silver in their hands burning hot.
Finally, Qingyu suddenly spoke slowly: "There is a young master Guo Xiao in this inn. He is quite skilled in martial arts and is very kind-hearted. If you... you could go and find him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyu got up and ran out the door.
The mother and daughter were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
After a long pause, the daughter bit her lip and tentatively said, "Mother...we've already come this far, why don't we go find that Young Master Guo? If possible...I'd like to take you away."
"But..." The mother clearly disagreed. They had indeed been hiding something from each other, and in fact, anyone who helped them might not get away with it.
"What are you afraid of? Those people came to town for what purpose... We're just using them, we didn't harm them. As long as we find the antidote, we can leave!" By the end, the daughter was clearly agitated, her eyes brimming with tears, looking quite pitiful.
Finally, there was no sound from inside the house.
Under the clear moonlight on the eaves, Qingyu's lips curved slightly, her eyes sparkling. The next second, the red figure had already disappeared.
------------
After resting for one night, Guo Xiao and his two companions began observing the streets the next day.
It has to be said that Yuya Town is a very strange place. It has some unique features, but there are very few locals and even few vendors. Instead, it is full of martial arts heroes wandering around. Apart from some lanterns and decorations, you can't see the festive atmosphere that Yuya Town should have.
At that moment, Qingyu stood quietly by the street, her beautiful eyes taking in the bustling scene before her.
At this moment, however, her mind was not on the festive atmosphere at all, but on how to find a suitable person to help her promote the legendary Six Yang Divine Skill.
After all, there's nothing for sale here.
Just as Qingyu was deep in thought, her gaze was suddenly drawn to a group of figures not far away.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Guo Xiao and his companions.
It’s really a narrow road between enemies.
Almost at the same moment, Guo Xiao also caught a glimpse of Qingyu standing on the side of the street.
His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively reached out to touch the piece of red silk hidden in his bosom.
This piece of red silk held extraordinary significance for him, as if it carried a hidden past and secrets.
Seeing Qingyu approach him with a half-smile, Guo Xiao tensed up, his ears turning red and his heart racing. He didn't understand this state and felt as if he had been poisoned.
"Young master, we meet again," Qingyu said gracefully, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
Guo Xiao drew his sword warily, his palm trembling. "Witch, what are you planning now?"
Seeing this, Lin Shinian hurriedly stood in front of Guo Xiao, saying, "You, there are many people here today, you mustn't be so presumptuous."
Qingyu raised an eyebrow slightly. "I'm just here to join in the fun. What, are you afraid I'll eat you up?"
"Who's afraid of you?" Guo Xiao gritted her teeth and tried to rush forward, but Lin Shinian held her arm down firmly.
The latter glanced around discreetly.
This can't be! Why would a witch come? She shouldn't be here!
Lin Shinian panicked a little. He exchanged a glance with Lin Shiwan, and the two of them immediately pulled Guo Xiao back. "Brother Xiao, we can't cause trouble here... there might be people from the Demonic Sect all around us!"
We can't interrupt this town's plans!
Just as the atmosphere was tense, the sky suddenly darkened, and everyone on the street was stunned. A few people suddenly shouted, "It's an evil spirit! An evil spirit has descended upon the world!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed by. Qingyu was now quite skilled in martial arts and had excellent eyesight. She immediately saw the shadow snatch a child away.
At the same time, someone in the crowd suddenly screamed in pain; they had been injured!
The crowd gasped in surprise, and Qingyu's eyes sharpened. She instinctively chased after him.
It's not about meddling; it's about being on the front lines to see what's going on!
Guo Xiao hesitated for a moment and then followed, leaving the Lin siblings with no choice but to follow as well.
The dark figure moved incredibly fast, stopping only at an abandoned temple outside the town. When Qingyu arrived, she was surprised to find that this place seemed to be the place where people said the evil spirit was sealed.
A question arose in her mind. Noticing footsteps behind her, she immediately darted away and hid.
It was Guo Xiao and his group who arrived.
Qingyu sat in the tree, already having figured out the plot in her mind. This scene was not much different from the plot. She suddenly remembered that Guo Xiao would also get a good thing this time...
Since we're already here, maybe... she could steal it from us?
Under the tree, it was too dark for Guo Xiao and his companions to spot Qingyu. After entering the temple, they cautiously looked around.
The temple was gloomy and dark, filled with a putrid stench.
"Everyone be careful, this guy is very cunning," Guo Xiao said softly.
He didn't believe in any evil spirits, but felt that someone was causing trouble.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, the candles lit up automatically, and strange runes appeared on the surrounding walls.
At this moment, the captured child appeared on the altar in front, his eyes lifeless.
Everything seemed eerie, startling Lin Shiwan, who was the most timid of them all, and she immediately rushed to Guo Xiao's side.
A hint of impatience flashed in Guo Xiao's eyes, but she still didn't push the person away; she just became more vigilant.
Qingyu sat leisurely. From her angle, there were several figures behind the platform, but they seemed to still be alive.
According to the plot, there should be a big battle next, and all she needs to do is grab the item and run away at the end.
Thinking about all this, Qingyu felt quite pleased.
Below, Lin Shinian approached the altar to save the child, but after taking only a few steps, the floor beneath his feet suddenly opened, and a huge black claw reached out and grabbed at him.
Guo Xiao reacted swiftly, severing the claw with a single sword strike.
A furious roar suddenly erupted from below, its overwhelming power causing everyone's expressions to change.
"Run!"
