A rare opportunity

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door! Li Yu was at a loss for a moment, and had no time to think about it. He had to lie down quickly and cover his head with the quilt!

When he heard someone approaching his bed, Li Yu's heart started pounding and his whole body started shaking! He didn't know where he was or who he was about to face, so he was naturally nervous!

The footsteps stopped beside his bed, and a clear voice said in surprise:

"Eh? Master, he had clearly gotten up just now, why did he lie down again? And he seemed to be shaking?"

Li Yu heard a slightly old voice saying:

"Cui'er! Go out first! Come back in when I call you!"

"Yes! Master!"

Cui'er agreed, then quickly left the room and closed the door.

There was a moment of silence in the room, which made Li Yu feel extremely depressed. He couldn't help but want to jump up and run away.

At this moment, the old voice sounded:

"Little kid, I know you're awake. Uncover the quilt first. I have something to ask you!"

When Li Yu heard this, he knew he couldn't escape, so he had to slowly stick his head out of the quilt, revealing a pair of frightened eyes!

An old man with a handsome face and dressed as a scholar appeared in front of him. When the old man saw Li Yu sticking his head out, he forced a smile. Maybe because he rarely smiled, his smile made Li Yu feel that it was uglier than crying!

Without waiting for the old man to ask, Li Yu quickly turned over and sat up, and asked anxiously:

"Excuse me sir! Where is this? Have I left Blind Mountain?"

In Li Yu's eyes, scholars are all people with knowledge and noble character, just like the teacher in their village, who, although poor, would try his best to help him. Therefore, he has an inexplicable liking for scholars.

When he saw that the man was dressed like a scholar, he determined that he was an elder with high moral character and was less wary of him.

The scholar was stunned! He didn't expect that he, the great elder of Qiyun Sect, would be regarded as a teacher! He couldn't help but look at Li Yu in confusion! Could he really be an ordinary person? Then why did he survive in Blind Mountain?

Although he didn't want to answer Li Yu's question, he couldn't resist Li Yu's eyes full of trust and desire, so he said in a deep voice:

"This is my home! Yes, you have left Blind Mountain!"

Li Yu couldn't help but feel happy, but suddenly he remembered something, and hurriedly jumped out of bed, pulling the Qiyun Sect's Great Elder and rushing to the door. While pulling, he shouted:

"Sir, run! If the three Blind Mountain ghosts come back and catch you, you'll be finished!"

The elder was a little impatient at first, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but feel moved! It seems that this kid really has nothing to do with the blind mountain, and his heart is not bad. He stood there motionless while Li Yu pulled him! He said casually:

"Huh? I have no grudge against them, why did they arrest me?"

When Li Yu saw that this person was so pedantic, he wanted to escape alone. He didn't escape when he was in Blind Mountain because he felt that staying in Blind Mountain was much better than begging outside! But now he wanted to escape because he had seen the viciousness of the people in Blind Mountain! Following them, although he could fill his stomach, his life would be in danger at any time!

But thinking that this person is a good person after all, it is better to persuade him! He immediately glanced at the door and whispered:

"Sir, you don't know that the people in the Blind Mountain are extremely vicious. They don't care whether they have a grudge against you or not. They captured you just to help them test the medicine, just like me! That is not a medicine to cure diseases, but a poison that harms people! You don't know, the pain is like the intestines being torn apart!"

The elder couldn't help but tremble his brows after hearing this! It was as if his intestines were pulled!

Li Yu continued:

"Old man, I think you look like a good person. I can't bear to let you be caught by them. Run away before they come back!"

He didn't know he had been rescued, he just thought he was brought here by the three Blind Mountain Ghosts, so he wanted to escape as soon as possible before the three Blind Mountain Ghosts came back! He never wanted to experience that kind of heart-wrenching pain again!

After saying that, he pulled the elder again, and seeing that he still had no intention of running away, he immediately ran away, muttering:

"Old man, you are not afraid of me, but I am very afraid! If you don't leave, then I will run away first!"

However, before he could reach the door, he felt his arm being grabbed by the gentleman. Even if he tried his best, he couldn't get rid of it! He couldn't help but shout:

"Old man! What are you doing? Let me go!"

The great elder said in a deep voice:

"Little kid! You don't have to be afraid. The three ghosts from Blind Mountain are not brave enough to come here and arrest people!"

Li Yu didn't quite believe it, and immediately fell to his knees, crying and saying:

"Old man! I beg you! You are not afraid, but I am not! The pain is so severe that I cannot die even if I want to!"

The great elder finally lost his patience and shouted:

"Shut up! Stand up and speak properly!"

Li Yu was stunned when he saw the gloomy face of the great elder! He was anxious and afraid, pouted and wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to. For a moment, he was at a loss and panicked!

He remembered that the teacher in their village was serious but never got so angry! But when this old man got angry, it made him feel cold!

The elder seemed to feel that his tone was a little too strong and frightened the man in front of him, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself. What was he doing? He was just an ordinary man, and it was inevitable that he was afraid of the three ghosts of Blind Mountain. Why did he lose his temper? It was just that this kid was entangled and annoying!

Seeing Li Yu's distraught and trembling appearance, he immediately softened his tone and said:

"Little kid! You don't know that you were rescued from Blind Mountain by us, not brought here by the three Blind Mountain ghosts! Don't worry, the three Blind Mountain ghosts are not here!"

Li Yu was skeptical when he heard this! He remembered that he seemed to hear footsteps before he fainted. Judging from the footsteps, those people were the three ghosts of Blind Mountain! Even Ma Ji and others from Qiyun Sect were not their opponents. How could such an old man save himself? Could it be that this gentleman who looked like a good person was in the same group with them? Did they deliberately deceive me? But I am a beggar, why would they deceive me? Did they know the secret of the powder box?

Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but be shocked! He wanted to reach out and touch the powder box, but after glancing at the old man in front of him, he finally resisted the urge to touch it.

Seeing Li Yu's face full of doubt and surprise, the Great Elder just thought that Li Yu didn't quite believe that he was rescued, but he never expected that he was regarded as an accomplice of the Three Blind Mountain Ghosts!

In order to dispel Li Yu's doubts, the elder said in a deep voice:

"No need to doubt! I am Situ Qingtian, the great elder of Qiyun Sect! This is not only my home, but also the seat of Qiyun Sect. Even if the three ghosts of Blind Mountain were given great courage, they would not dare to come here and act wildly!"
