Shocking, unbelievable!
Zhang Hu and the others looked horrified, their backs chilled with fear.
They understood! Everyone understood now!
Why couldn’t their senior brother open his Heavenly Eye?
It was because the other party was an evil spirit!
Since it was an evil spirit, how could they possibly open the Heavenly Eye?
Why was their senior brother so debauched and obsessed with women?
Was it because of his nature?
No! It was because he was an evil spirit!
Why did their senior brother come to Dragon Tiger Mountain and deceive everyone, even the Grand Master, without being discovered?
It was because... he had colluded with the traitor of Dragon Tiger Mountain from years ago—Wind Ghost!
The two of them were in cahoots, aiming to lure all the elite disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain down the mountain and wipe them out in one fell swoop!
Putting aside their lack of Heavenly Eyes and their insufficient skills to perceive deeper auras, Su Muwan indeed only had an aura of malevolence and ill intent in their eyes!
There was no trace of the so-called evil spirit aura!
Their senior brother—no, that evil spirit—had been trying to confuse them, making them believe there was some great evil spirit in the world!
It was only now that Zhang Hu realized.
Even if there were some great evil spirit in the world, why would so many of their fellow disciples need to come down the mountain together?
What, could this evil spirit be more terrifying than the old tales of the "Hundred Spirits Night Parade" that used to scare people in the mountain?
This was pure nonsense!
It was already the year 66612 of the Martial Calendar!!
Martial arts were flourishing, and righteous energy pierced the heavens!
What evil spirit would dare to cause trouble now?
Zhang Hu’s face turned pale, his body trembling as he muttered to himself, "Evil spirit... evil spirit... Suan Tianxing is now an evil spirit."
"No, I must inform the Grand Master immediately!"
His breathing quickened slightly. A humanoid evil spirit had infiltrated their Dragon Tiger Mountain team, aiming to devour their souls.
This was nothing short of an absolute disaster!
However.
Qin Luo’s words made Zhang Hu hesitate for a moment: "Wait, we can’t let the others know about this."
"!!"
As soon as these words were spoken,
Zhang Hu and the others were stunned. "Why?" they asked.
Qin Luo solemnly put away his tablet and said, "Because rashly exposing this will only provoke the evil spirit into a desperate counterattack, leading to heavy casualties."
"Not to mention, would the other disciples even believe what we say?"
"Moreover... do you even know where Wind Ghost, that traitor, is hiding?"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Everyone exchanged glances.
They had been too shallow in their thinking.
"Right... Suan Tianxing has hidden himself too well. Even the Grand Master didn’t notice. Who can guarantee that the other disciples will believe us?"
After all, on the surface, Suan Tianxing was the new generation’s Grand Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain and their former senior brother!
The other disciples hadn’t been here to analyze the situation or see the evidence. How could they possibly believe it?
"And with Wind Ghost lurking in the shadows, watching us, what should we do?"
Everyone’s mood became incredibly heavy.
An evil spirit was hiding among them, yet they had no way to deal with it.
The next moment,
Qin Luo’s words reassured them.
"Don’t be so pessimistic. I already have a plan."
Zhang Hu and the others’ faces lit up with hope as they looked at Qin Luo as if he were their pillar of strength. "What’s the plan?"
"Haha... it’s simple," Qin Luo said with a slight smile, glancing at their tense faces. "Shangguan Xiao and Long Jiuxiao of the Long Family are about to have their wedding. At that time... many prominent figures from various families will be attending the ceremony on the cruise ship."
"The more people there are, the easier it will be for the evil spirit to reveal its true intentions."
"Or rather, Suan Tianxing, that evil spirit, chose this time to call you down the mountain because of Shangguan Xiao’s wedding."
"After all... in the vast ocean, isolated and helpless, the guests on the cruise ship would become their natural hunting ground."
"But at the same time, this is also our chance to expose Suan Tianxing’s true nature."
"The evil spirits will make their move, and we can set up defenses in advance! At that time... we’ll work together to... slay the evil!"
Sss—!
As soon as he finished speaking,
Everyone’s pupils dilated, and they collectively gasped.
Right!
Why hadn’t they thought of that?
Their previously confused thoughts were instantly cleared!
Qin Luo looked at Zhang Hu and the others with a serious expression. "Even if there are only a dozen of us,"
"for the sake of protecting all living beings, even if it costs us our lives, we must stop that evil spirit’s scheme!"
"Right!"
"For the sake of protecting all living beings!"
"For the sake of protecting all living beings!"
A moment later,
Zhang Hu and the others left with solemn and determined expressions.
They felt the weight on their shoulders grow heavier, perhaps because the safety of the entire world now rested on their dozen or so shoulders.
Qin Luo stood at the crossroads, watching as Zhang Hu and the others left.
A faint smile played on his lips, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
There’s going to be some fun soon.
As for how Suan Tianxing and Wind Ghost teamed up?
Hehe, don’t worry, the new version of Wind Ghost will provide the answers.
At that moment,
Su Muwan’s voice, filled with shock and a hint of existential crisis, reached him.
"Qin Luo... let’s go back now."
Qin Luo turned his head to see Su Muwan leaning weakly against the car seat, patting the empty spot beside her with one hand.
After sitting down and closing the car door with a click,
Qin Luo smiled at the visibly exhausted Su Muwan and asked, "Miss, what’s wrong? Why do you look so drained?"
"You... sigh."
Su Muwan opened her mouth, but when she saw Qin Luo’s smiling, lively face, she couldn’t help but avert her gaze.
She turned her head to look out the window, her expression full of helplessness.
Having witnessed Qin Luo’s actions, Su Muwan felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness in her heart.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that something bad was about to happen...
Her eyes were filled with melancholy as she gazed out the window and murmured, "Qin Luo..."
"Do you know what kind of person I am?"
Based on the attitudes of the Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples, Su Muwan had resigned herself to her fate.
Yes! Ha! Haha! Hahaha!
Her cursed luck was just like this!
So what if it was like this!
"What kind of person?" Qin Luo asked.
Hearing this,
Su Muwan took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "I’m pretty much the kind of person with a cursed luck. I can joke around with you and be easygoing most of the time."
"But if you really get close to me, you’ll see... just how much darkness I bring!"
As if driven by deep emotion, Su Muwan clenched her fist and said solemnly, "Qin Luo."
"I’ve been walking on thin ice my whole life."
"Do you think... I can still be a good person?"
"And also..."
She rambled on with some nonsensical words, pouring out her heart.
After a long while, when she didn’t hear any response,
Su Muwan swallowed her dry throat and blinked at Qin Luo. "Qin Luo, did you understand?"
"Mm."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded. "I understand!"
So the young lady’s chuunibyou phase isn’t over yet.
"Good!"
Having finally vented her feelings, Su Muwan felt much better. The energetic me is back!
With that, she patted the shoulder of the person in the driver’s seat. "What are you waiting for? Drive!"
In the driver’s seat,
Su Bailian, who had originally wanted to see what Qin Luo and Su Muwan were up to all day, now felt like crying as she stepped on the gas pedal.
Day after day, this master and servant duo are just ridiculous!
