In a quiet cave.

Wu Yao was casually thrown onto a cold stone slab.

Her golden eyes were fixed on a point three feet to the left, in a daze.

There, Zhao Mu was helping Yan Bingqing treat her wounds.

However, it was clearly just a shallow cut by a sharp blade, just a very common skin injury. For a cultivator in the Lingyuan realm, there was no need to worry about this injury at all, and it would recover in two or three days at most.

But he handled it very carefully, fearing that he had not done something well, and spoke in a gentle voice.

Even if Wu Yao was not jealous, she felt a little indignant at this moment. The gap in treatment was too big!

"Mother, what kind of husband did you choose for me back then?"

Looking at the figure who was caring about Yan Bingqing, Wu Yao said silently in her heart.

Thanks to her golden eyes, she had never met anyone like Zhao Mu since she was born. He was like a fog that could not be touched or seen through.

But there is one thing she can be sure of, that is, as long as you truly get into his heart, he will treat you with all his heart.

For some reason, looking at Yan Bingqing who was being cared for and scolded, she felt an inexplicable envy in her heart, a feeling she had never experienced before.

Unfortunately, all this has nothing to do with her, either now or in the future.

She could clearly feel that her 'fiancé' disliked her very much.

Wu Yao laughed at herself. This was the first time in her life that she felt disliked by others.

A full quarter of an hour passed before Zhao Mu brought Yan Bingqing back to Wu Yao's side.

"Tell me, what happened to make you, the little princess of Wudi City, so miserable?"

After sitting down opposite Wu Yao, Zhao Mu asked calmly.

Just now when I was treating Yan Bingqing's wound, I learned from her that the group of people who had ambushed them before were the ones recruited by Wu Yao in Qingshan Town.

Zhao Mu couldn't understand why his master Wu Yao was so badly injured, but the monks she recruited were all intact and even had enough strength to intercept and kill them.

Of course, although he couldn't figure it out, Zhao Mu didn't care too much about it.

What does Wu Yao’s experience, life or death have to do with him?

He simply wanted to use this topic to guide Wu Yao to talk about the current situation in the Qingniu Mountains.

"The Demonic Path learned about the Xuan Emperor Palace's news before us, and they also arrived at the Qingniu Mountains before us. They had already set up ambushes on some of the necessary routes. Because of this information gap, we were caught off guard."

"To help me escape, Granny Bai risked her life to stop the Purple Extreme Demon from the Devil Heart Valley. As for the other guards in the Liquid Realm, they were also on their way to escape. In order to protect me, they were slaughtered one after another by the people of the Demonic Path."

"Although I finally escaped using a secret method, I was seriously injured and exhausted, and fell into a coma near death. When I opened my eyes again, I saw you...you all!"

As if she remembered the scene when she just opened her eyes, Wu Yao changed "you" to "you all". At the same time, her golden eyes drooped slightly, not daring to look at Zhao Mu.

Demon Heart Valley? Purple Demon?

Hearing these two words, Zhao Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Isn't this an old acquaintance I've never met before?

Back then in Xuantian Square, when he and Senior Sister Daigua were in dire straits, his greatest hope was to wait for the old demon Ziji to show up.

But unexpectedly, the plot changed and this old guy never showed up from beginning to end.

Unexpectedly, he appeared in the Qingniu Mountains.

That...

After seeing Yan Bingqing, will the old demon Ziji take her back to the demon path...

Zhao Mu couldn't help but feel worried. Although he knew that Yan Bingqing's going to the Demonic Path might be more beneficial to her growth, he couldn't bear to let her go.

But then again, this old demon Zi Ji is really strong!

The old woman beside Wu Yao was at least at the Tiangang realm, but facing the old demon Ziji, she could only use her own life to help Wu Yao survive.

No wonder in the original plot, the old demon Zi Ji dared to break into the Xuantian Taoist Sect alone, and left with Yan Bingqing in an unstoppable manner.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mu got a lot of information he wanted from Wu Yao, and had a clearer understanding of the current situation in the Qingniu Mountains.

It’s chaos, not just ordinary chaos.

Not only people from the righteous and evil sides were involved in the affairs of the Xuan Emperor Palace, but even the demons in the core area of ​​the Qingniu Mountains intervened, and the evil spirits took advantage of the chaos to commit murder.

The area is now in complete chaos.

"The accident Duanmu Liang mentioned must have been an ambush by the demonic sect!"

Just as Zhao Mu's thoughts were drifting away, he suddenly heard a weak call in his ears.

"Hey?"

"I don't call hello!"

"But I don't know your name either!"

“…”

Zhao Mu suddenly realized that he had planted this trap himself. He waved his hands helplessly and said, "Hey, then, hey. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I'm seriously injured now. Can you protect me for a while?"

Seeing Zhao Mu's eyes suddenly change, Wu Yao thought he was unwilling, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly. As long as it is something I can give, no matter what you want, I will not refuse it."

"I hope you can help me this time for my mother's sake."

"I know you are against the engagement between you and me. I can help you with this."

"When we return to Wudi City, I will take the initiative to ask my father to cancel the engagement. I won't make it difficult for you."

Yan Bingqing stared blankly at Wu Yao's humble attitude and felt that she was so pitiful.

A fictitious marriage contract actually deceived her.

However, this also proves how powerful Zhao Mu is. He can trick the little princess of Wudi City into this with just a few words.

"Break off the engagement? You're too naive. If this engagement were as easy to resolve as you think, why would I have run away from home? I warn you, neither our engagement nor the fact that you've met me are allowed to be mentioned to anyone else."

Wu Yao was very smart and immediately understood what Zhao Mu meant.

For ordinary people, marriage may be simple, but for a huge force like Wudi City, the engagement is complicated. Whether a person is willing or not is often not important. This is why her "fiancé" left the family.

As for not being able to tell anyone that they had met him, it was obviously because they were worried that their whereabouts would be exposed and they would catch them.

"it is good!"

"I don't believe you, I swear to the heavens."

“…”

Wu Yao stared at the man in front of her with disbelief in her golden eyes for more than ten seconds before responding.

"I, Wu Yao, swear hereby: I will never reveal that I have seen..."

"Zhao Mu!"

"I, Wu Yao, swear hereby: I will never reveal that I have met Zhao Mu, nor will I tell anyone else that I know about the engagement. If I break my promise, I will be punished by heaven and die."

Boom~

Thunder roared in broad daylight, and the oath of heaven was established.

"I can protect you for a while. As for the reward, I hope you can fulfill what you just said."

Now we are very close to the barbarians' ancestral land. Once we enter that place, there is no need to worry about safety, because even if the barbarians come in person, they will not be able to find a way in, let alone others.

He took Wu Yao to stay in the barbarian ancestral land for a while, and after her injuries healed, he decisively kicked her away.

This is a business with absolutely no cost. How could Zhao Mu let it go if he could get benefits for free?

"I will keep my promise!"

Wu Yao nodded seriously, and at the same time felt relieved.

She was really afraid that Zhao Mu would abandon her!

"What are you daydreaming about!"

"what?"

Zhao Mu's voice brought Wu Yao back from her thoughts.

"Is it enough to just keep your promise? Take an oath to the heavens!"
