The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1310: Chapter 388: A Brute and a Maniac—A Perfect Match!

He could only take the risk to use this spatial Secret Technique.

Fortunately, the gamble paid off!

"Cough, cough..." She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and turned to look behind her.

The man in black rolled over awkwardly to steady himself, but her cousin crashed into the ground like an iron tower, creating a humanoid pit in the rock from the impact.

"A brute and a madman, truly a perfect match," Yu Yan spoke coldly.

Zhao Muye suddenly sprang up from the pit, dust flying off him: "Cousin, you’re right! This brother of mine..."

He laughed heartily and clasped his hands together, but before he could finish his sentence, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground like a mountain.

The six coffin nails were still oozing black blood, clearly having caused deep damage.

Yu Yan’s expression changed drastically, and she bent down hurriedly to tend to him.

Green light flowed at her fingertips as she carefully pulled out those strange black nails.

With each nail removed, Zhao Muye twitched, and the battle patterns on his whole body dimmed a little.

When the last nail was out, she quickly placed an ice-blue Elixir into his mouth, which melted instantly, forming ice patterns to seal the wound.

After doing all this, she just turned to express her gratitude to Zhou Qing, only to see a spatial rift closing up.

She paused for a moment, shook her head, and sighed lightly: "Truly a strange man."

Though she said this, she respectfully made a Cultivator’s salute and bowed deeply in the direction where the rift disappeared.

...

"Zhou!"

When the spatial rift suddenly opened beneath the tree, Lu Yaoyao, who was holding an old hen, jumped in surprise.

The old hen flapped her wings and was about to squawk when Lu Yaoyao quickly covered its mouth: "Shh—"

Seeing Zhou Qing staggering out of the rift, Lu Yaoyao panicked and tossed the old hen aside.

Then she rushed to Zhou Qing in two strides, her small face turning pale, and her voice trembling: "You, you’re injured?"

Zhou Qing waved his hand: "It’s just a superficial wound, nothing serious."

"It’s all because Yaoyao is useless, like a burden, I can’t even help!"

Lu Yaoyao bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothing.

Zhou Qing’s mouth lifted slightly, and he said softly, "How about this, since we haven’t gone far, I’ll take you back."

"That won’t do!" The girl suddenly raised her head, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes, "Precisely because I can’t help, I must grow up sooner. Someday, I’ll stand in front of Senior Brother and protect you!"

She clenched her fist, her voice firm, "If I go back to shut myself away now, when will I ever break through to the Divinity Transformation Mid-stage?"

Zhou Qing reached out and ruffled her hair, speaking warmly, "So, don’t always belittle yourself. In Senior Brother’s eyes, you’re never a burden."

His gaze softened, "Precisely because you’re here, I dared to take risks and do some adventurous things."

Lu Yaoyao was stunned, tears still clinging to her lashes: "Rea... really?"

Zhou Qing nodded solemnly: "Of course, it’s true. Like this time, knowing there were four Spirit Severing Realm attackers after Brother Zhao, I still dared to help."

He looked tenderly at Lu Yaoyao, "Because I know, even if I’m critically wounded, as long as I can return here, there will always be someone who will protect me and take me to a safe place."

Lu Yaoyao wiped away her tears vigorously and smiled through them: "Yes! I’ll definitely do that!"

Her voice lifted, "Actually... I used to always think I was a burden, so I trained desperately, just hoping to be of some help, even if only a little."

"Hearing you say that today, I’m really, really so happy you..." Her voice choked with emotions again, yet she smiled brilliantly.

Zhou Qing helplessly wiped away the fresh tears on her face: "Why are you crying again? Let’s go, I’ll tell you an interesting story on the way..."

The two left quickly.

About the time it takes an incense stick to burn later, Zhou Qing hurriedly returned, and rummaged through the bushes to retrieve the old hen that was flipped over, before leaving again...

Half a month later, following the map left by Shen Yunzhou, the two, along with the hen, reached the center of a basin surrounded by mountains. They were rendered speechless by the sight before them.

"This... is the ancient Teleportation Array left here by the Dynasty Alliance?" Lu Yaoyao looked up, exclaiming in surprise.
