Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind-Chapter 65 - 58: Siege

"Wha... what’s wrong?"

It was Ji Lingruo’s first time hearing You Su sound so distraught.

"What color is that Jade Pendant?" You Su’s tone was urgent.

"Light green."

Light green Jade Pendant? A test? What else could it be other than the Exorcism Order?

"Junior sister, come and see if it’s the same as this Jade Pendant in my hand." You Su forced himself to calm down and asked.

"Oh..."

After a moment, following the rustle of dressing, Ji Lingruo opened the door and came out.

Her cute face was solemn, she felt as if she had made a huge mistake.

After taking the Exorcism Order from You Su’s hand, she examined it for a while, "Yep, it looks very similar."

Ji Lingruo noticed You Su’s face turned unpleasant after she finished speaking and asked softly:

"You Su, why do you also have this Jade Pendant? Have you also gone to work at the City Lord’s Mansion?"

"Junior sister, how did that person explain it to you? Did they ask you to input Profound Qi into it?"

"Yes, he said it was to test cultivation, so I inputted Profound Qi into it."

You Su felt as if he was struck by lightning, even his breathing became heavier, he then asked:

"Did Master test it?"

"No, he was going to ask Master to test it but stopped when I said she doesn’t have cultivation."

"Did you notice any changes in the Jade Pendant after you inputted Profound Qi?"

"Yes, it became hot and also turned black," Ji Lingruo recalled while pinching her delicate chin, "That person told me the higher the cultivation, the hotter the Jade Pendant gets, and the deeper the color becomes."

You Su was nearly suffocating; he could practically confirm that the Jade Pendant was the Exorcism Order. He hadn’t expected his long-concealed secret to be stolen by someone else.

His heart was burning with anxiety, everyone in this city seemed unlikely to possess the Exorcism Order, but one person did! That was Mr. Liou, who got the Exorcism Order from Gu Yao this morning!

The Mandarin Duck Sword Sect is located in the most remote area of Chuyun City, the reason why the mansion attendant came here with that Exorcism Order could only be because of Mr. Liou’s secret instructions!

Could it be that Mr. Liou had long discovered the problems with junior sister and Master?

"You Su, what exactly is this Jade Pendant for?" Ji Lingruo asked curiously.

"Junior sister, did the mansion attendant mention who sent him?" Every piece of information was extremely crucial, You Su had to clarify.

"He said he came on the orders of Mr. Qi. Is that elder who helped us before named Qi?"

!!!

Mr. Qi? The first to notice was not Mr. Liou but Qi Daodong?

You Su’s mind was in chaos; he couldn’t figure out where he had slipped up to let Qi Daodong discover something suspicious, Qi Daodong hadn’t even visited the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect before.

It made sense that Mr. Liou would pass the Exorcism Order to the next City Lord before leaving, but why did he go to the Sword Sect to test the junior sister as soon as he got it, was it his idea or Mr. Liou’s?

He regretted so much, why did he bother with others’ life and death? He should have just returned to the sect to guard junior sister and Master.

You Su clenched his fists tightly, his fingers almost digging into his flesh. The surrounding fog drifted, a deep sense of defeat accompanied by a surge of anger rose in his heart.

Ji Lingruo noticed the change in You Su’s demeanor and asked with some concern: "You Su, what’s happening..."

You Su raised his head, placing both hands on Ji Lingruo’s shoulders, he solemnly said to her: "Junior sister, listen to me, pack up your things, we’re leaving here now!"

"Ah? So, so suddenly, and with such thick fog outside." Ji Lingruo looked perplexed.

"We’re not leaving the city, we need to find a place to hide inside the city, in short, we can’t stay at the Sword Sect anymore!"

You Su instructed anxiously, his hands on Ji Lingruo’s shoulders unconsciously gripping tighter:

"There’s no time to explain to you now, go pack your things, I’ll call Master!"

"Oh..."

Ji Lingruo felt pain in her shoulders, confused but obedient. Although she loved to oppose You Su, judging by You Su’s behavior, this was definitely a critical situation that didn’t allow her to be petty.

Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind blew over, dispersing most of the thick fog in the courtyard.

Dense footsteps sounded, from the mist outside the courtyard, dozens of figures emerged one after another, each wearing an angry and murderous expression, glaring hateful at the gate of the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect.

Leading them was none other than Qi Daodong!

He retracted his right hand after casting the Great Wind Skill and shouted loudly:

"You Su! You are harboring demons with ill intentions! Surrender at once!"

Every word was like a thousand-pound stone crushing down on You Su, leaving him short of breath. You Su was utterly devastated, he hadn’t expected these people to arrive so quickly!

Ji Lingruo was even more bewildered and frightened, her face losing color, she asked tremblingly: "You Su, what are they talking about?"

You Su took a deep breath and said to Ji Lingruo:

"Junior sister, don’t be afraid. Go back to the room, I’ll chase them away."

"No!"

Ji Lingruo’s lovely eyebrows rose in anger; although she didn’t know what was happening, she could feel the hostility from the people outside towards them. At this moment, she couldn’t just hide behind her senior brother; she couldn’t possibly accept that.

You Su gave Ji Lingruo a reassuring smile and gently said: "Just listen to senior brother one last time, go back to the room."

Ji Lingruo was stunned for a moment, the unmistakable refusal in You Su’s words made her hesitate.

At this moment, the gate was kicked down with a loud "bang," and Qi Daodong led the group in. Each of them looked like fierce devils emerging from the fog, which hadn’t yet entirely reformed.

Ji Lingruo was startled by the appearance of these people, which only strengthened her resolve to stand by You Su’s side.

Seeing Ji Lingruo’s determination, You Su no longer spoke. He shouted loudly at Qi Daodong:

"Mr. Qi, what are you doing?"

Qi Daodong let out a cold laugh, narrowing his sharp hawk-like eyes: "You Su, you’ve been hiding so well..."

"You Su doesn’t understand what Mr. Qi means, perhaps there’s a misunderstanding between us."

You Su tried his best to maintain a calm tone; if possible, he truly didn’t want to fight these people, even though he knew words might hardly calm them down.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding can I have with someone consorting with demons!" Qi Daodong angrily replied.

Another figure stepped forward beside Qi Daodong, his handsome face filled with regret, Wu Cheng sighed and said:

"You Su, just surrender, I believe you’re not in league with demons."

"Brother! Why bother talking to him! No wonder he wouldn’t let us search the house that day, he really was hiding demons! These fogs and the demons outside the city must also be related to his sect!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

A small figure emerged from the crowd, his sharp sword gleaming with treasure-like light, a twisted expression on his face, who else could it be but Wu Ping?
