Quick Wear: The host is good at flirting, and the cold beauty's soul floats
Chapter 159 The Cold Taoist Priest is Really Charming 26
If they fell, the mother and daughter would fall directly to the bottom of the mountain.
After Zhu Jinnian walked for a while, Qiao Yudai found that the rugged mountain road in front of her seemed like flat ground under Zhu Jinnian's feet, which made her feel much relieved.
Zhu Jinnian carried Qiao Yudai on his back and walked slowly down. Qiao Yudai started to think a lot as she felt relieved. She leaned on Zhu Jinnian's back with tears in her eyes.
His son has grown up. He must have suffered a lot over the years to become such a reliable person today.
I wonder if Zhu Jinnian would be even better if he had always been with them.
"Jinnian, do you blame us for not finding you for so long?"
Zhu Jinnian paused for a moment, then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened: "No, I know you tried your best."
In the past few days, he has almost understood what happened before and after his disappearance.
After he was kidnapped by Zhu Changbai's business rivals, Zhu Changbai and his team found out who did it and gave in as the other party demanded. As a result, he did not come back.
Afterwards, Zhu Changbai reported the matter to the authorities without hesitation, and those people were punished.
Zhu Changbai and Qiao Yudai sent people to look for him for a whole month, but they could not find him alive or dead. Qiao Yudai cried every day.
Every year, Qiao Yudai would do good deeds and go up the mountain to pray for him, hoping that he would return home safely.
They had done all they could, so he didn't blame them.
Qiao Yudai sighed softly. Zhu Jinnian was too sensible.
"If we had searched further away, we might have found the Taoist temple where your master is."
Zhu Jinnian: "It's not certain that they would find me. Master often travels outside to hunt monsters, and he would take me with him. It's only in recent years that he has lived in the Taoist temple for a longer period of time. Even if you find the Taoist temple, Master and I may not be there at that time."
Qiao Yudai thought about it and agreed. "That being said, I still feel guilty. For so many years, I've dreamed almost every night of you asking me why I didn't look for you. After each dream, my master and I would send people out to look for you, but we always came back empty-handed."
Zhu Jinnian: "The world is too big and it's not easy to find someone. We are still destined to be mother and son, so we will meet again."
Qiao Yudai echoed, "That's what the master said. When I first came to the temple, the master said that our mother-son relationship still existed, and that one day we would meet unexpectedly. It really was, by pure coincidence, that day I ran into you."
"Yes." Zhu Jinnian looked at the high mountain and steep steps in front of him. In the morning, there was fog here, but the sun would eventually rise, the fog would dissipate, and there would be light.
Zhu Jinnian walked much faster with Qiao Yudai on his back than when he went up the mountain in the morning. He didn't put Qiao Yudai down until he reached the foot of the mountain.
Seeing that the sun was beginning to set, the two of them did not waste any time and got on the carriage to rush back.
Both of them had breakfast in the morning and were already starving, so they just ate some of the dry food they brought with them.
The carriage had been traveling for about half an hour when it suddenly shook and stopped abruptly.
Qiao Yudai immediately asked the servant outside nervously, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Yudai and Zhu Jinnian did not hear any answer, only the servant's screams.
Just as a breath of air suddenly approached the carriage, Zhu Jinnian's compass spun rapidly and his demon-slaying sword also shook wildly.
Zhu Jinnian realized that it was a wolf demon coming, so he asked Qiao Yudai to stay in the carriage and not go out. He drew out his demon-slaying sword, quickly opened the curtain and flew out, fighting quickly with the demon that was attacking the carriage.
As they exchanged blows, Zhu Jinnian saw clearly the monster in front of him. It had a burly figure, an ugly face, and its fangs were exposed. Who else could it be but a wolf monster?
Zhu Jinnian didn't expect that the wolf demon would follow them out. This place was still some distance away from Qingcheng, and the trap he set was not around here, so Zhu Jinnian could only use all his strength to resist the wolf demon's attack.
Although the wolf demon was injured, Zhu Jinnian's cultivation level was no match for him and he was quickly knocked to the ground.
Zhu Jinnian's demon-slaying sword was stuck in the ground. He held the sword with his hand to support his body, so that he would not fall to the ground in a mess.
Zhu Jinnian's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his body felt severe pain, and a fishy-sweet taste surged in his throat. He tried his best to suppress it, but still couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.
Zhu Jinnian stood up with his sword and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"You are the demon that hurts people in Qingcheng!"
The wolf demon said, "It's me. You are no match for me. If you weren't useful, I would have finished you off in one move. I advise you not to resist. After all, you have your mother behind you. If you don't want me to attack your mother, you'd better stand still and wait for me to take your heart's blood."
After the wolf demon finished speaking, he slowly approached Zhu Jinnian. Just as he raised his hand, he suddenly heard a female voice shouting "Stop". Just as he was stunned, Qiao Yudai ran down from the carriage, strode to Zhu Jinnian and protected him.
Zhu Jinnian had a headache. The wolf demon obviously had no intention of hurting Qiao Yudai. If Qiao Yudai stood in front of him, the wolf demon might not necessarily not attack her.
"Mom, please move aside."
"Don't be afraid, Jinnian, mother will protect you." There was fear of the wolf demon in Qiao Yudai's eyes, but her instinct as a mother gave her the courage to stand firmly in front of Zhu Jinnian.
A hint of hesitation flashed in the wolf demon's eyes.
Qiao Yudai is a kind-hearted person. When he was pretending to be sick, Qiao Yudai often visited him and was very attentive to his treatment. Later, when he developed his business, Qiao Yudai and others also helped him wholeheartedly.
However, the wolf demon only hesitated for a moment. He clearly remembered the purpose of coming to Qingcheng and getting close to the Zhu family. He had to remove any obstacles that prevented him from practicing and becoming stronger.
The wolf demon raised his hand without hesitation and struck Qiao Yudai. Qiao Yudai stood in front of Zhu Jinnian with a determined look in her eyes.
Just as Zhu Jinnian was about to push Qiao Yudai away, a figure flew over from a distance. Zhu Jinnian saw the other person's face clearly. It was Qin Yu.
"Wolf demon, how dare you show up and hurt people in broad daylight!"
Qin Yu attacked the wolf demon from behind, and the wolf demon had to temporarily give up fighting Zhu Jinnian and turn to fight Qin Yu.
Zhu Jinnian took this opportunity to push Qiao Yudai to the side of the carriage and told her to hide and not come out. He then attacked the wolf demon and dealt with it together with Qin Yu.
Originally, if Zhu Jinnian was alone, he would not be a match for the wolf demon, but with Qin Yu's joining, the wolf demon seemed to be having a hard time as it was injured and not fully recovered.
Just as the wolf demon was fully focused on fighting Zhu Jinnian and Qin Yu, he suddenly felt uneasy. He felt a powerful force coming towards them.
Although he didn't know who the other party was, his intuition told him that he couldn't beat them, so he turned around and repelled Qin Yu and Zhu Jinnian, then ran away.
Zhu Jinnian's first reaction was to chase after him, but Qin Yu stopped him.
"Don't chase him. Your mother is still here. We can't defeat him if we go after him alone. Besides, Mr. Bai has told us to wait until he comes back."
