Wei Tu opened his eyes.

I was originally looking at the ceiling.

Then he saw Mu Xitong's face appear directly above him.

She seemed to be slightly bent over, looking down at herself, with strands of hair falling down on one side, swaying like a cascading waterfall.

"You're finally awake..."

Mu Xitong lowered her head and smiled, her smile alluring.

"You look exhausted."

Wei Tu blinked.

"I'm not made of iron, I get tired eventually."

Mu Xitong squatted down.

It was still facing his face, but the direction was different.

Strands of hair fell onto the boy's cheeks, tickling him slightly, yet feeling like gentle fingertips caressing him.

Until she finally reached out and touched the boy's cheek.

Wei Tu realized that the feeling was not the same.

"Then take a good rest. This place... has finally become a bit more fun because of your arrival."

Mu Xitong said with a smile.

Wei Tu, however, sensed the melancholy in the other person's words.

he asks.

"Why don't you find something else to do, or find a disciple to pass on your skills to?"

Mu Xitong thought for a moment.

"Life is not about how many landscapes you see or how many places you travel to. It's about finding your own meaning, and this is where my meaning lies."

Wei Tu blinked.

Then suddenly he raised his head, and before the woman could dodge, her delicate lips seemed to be lightly pecked.

When she came to her senses, the boy was already lying on the ground, smiling at her.

“There are many kinds of meaning: the meaning of life, the meaning of existence, the meaning of the individual… Sister Xitong is still so young, don’t define yourself too early.”

Mu Xitong smiled, her cheeks rosy, like a young girl.

"Little brother...you're so naughty, but your sister likes it."

She lowered her head and bit Wei Tu's nose. PS: I threw up, the air conditioner was dripping water... no, not dripping water, it was practically raining, the ground was completely wet, I'm speechless!!

69. A major event is approaching.

With most of the big and small matters dealt with, Wei Tu remembered something.

It seemed that Gong Ziqi, who was at Red Eyebrow Peak, had something special to tell him after their encounter that day.

Wei Tu felt that the current calm was just a superficial illusion, so he decided to head to Crimson Eyebrow Peak to find Gong Ziqi.

Crimson Eyebrow Peak is the largest mountain in the entire Abyss Sword Sect, and naturally has the most disciples, both men and women, with varying levels of strength.

There are many with high talent, but also many with mediocre talent.

In his previous life, Wei Tu didn't have much interaction with Chi Mei Peak. Apart from Xue Jian Peak where Su Mi was located and his own Xiao Yuan Peak, Wei Tu was too lazy to have any interaction with others. As for later fame and other peaks wanting to establish connections with him, Wei Tu naturally ignored them.

I never imagined that in this life, not only would I need to improve my strength, but I would also need to manage my interpersonal relationships well.

The disciples of Crimson Eyebrow Peak did not have any deep-seated hatred for Wei Tu, nor were they like those of Green Court Peak who were repeatedly humiliated by Wei Tu, nor were they like those of Purple Sandalwood Peak who relied on Qiao Zhiheng and felt they did not need to bow to anyone. Therefore, they had a strong sense of disdain and resentment towards Wei Tu, who was rising like a new star, and always felt that this young man had stolen the limelight that belonged to their senior brother.

The disciples of Red Eyebrow Peak greeted Wei Tu in a friendly manner.

The female disciples were like budding flowers, greeting him shyly and then awkwardly avoiding the boy's captivating eyes.

Wei Tu inquired about Gong Ziqi's residence and followed the mountain path upwards until he finally found Gong Ziqi practicing his boxing in a courtyard halfway up the mountain, shirtless.

Gong Ziqi was sweating profusely, each punch powerful and forceful, seemingly accompanied by a whooshing sound even without a breeze.

"Good punch."

When Wei Tu sincerely praised him, Gong Ziqi seemed to realize that Wei Tu had arrived.

He was surprised for a moment, then laughed heartily.

"Junior Brother Wei is here! Sorry, I was practicing my punches the whole time and didn't notice!"

Wei Tu, of course, didn't care about these things. He walked into the courtyard, watched Gong Ziqi put on his clothes, and then asked something as if he had thought of something.

"Senior Brother Gong likes boxing?"

Gong Ziqi finished dressing and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Actually, it's alright. I studied boxing for a few years before I came up the mountain. And I've never given up swordsmanship since I started practicing. Boxing can help people release their energy and strengthen their bodies. If Junior Brother Wei wants to learn, I can teach you too."

Wei Tu shook his head with a smile.

"Forget about that. I don't have the perseverance of Senior Brother Gong. I usually only work hard for three days and then slack off for two. Don't make Senior Brother Gong angry when he teaches me later."

Gong Ziqi chuckled, "If Junior Brother Wei is also only half-hearted, how are we, the mediocre senior brothers, supposed to survive?"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, but Gong Ziqi wasn't really good at it, and Wei Tu was too lazy to mince words, so he got straight to the point.

"By the way, what was that strange thing that Senior Brother Gong mentioned when we met last time?"

"Oh...right! I almost forgot, I had such a great chat with Junior Brother Wei just now..."

Are you really happy?

Wei Tu's eye twitched slightly.

Gong Ziqi then sat down beside him, lowering his voice as if afraid of being overheard.

"It's like this..."

Gong Ziqi told Wei Tu about a strange thing.

Around the time Wei Tu went to the Shang Kingdom in the human world, one night, Gong Ziqi was resting in his room when he suddenly heard someone calling him. The voice sounded exactly like Gong Ziqi's father, so much so that Gong Ziqi thought he was dreaming.

But when he woke up, he found that it was not a dream, and the voice that sounded so much like his father was still calling to him.

He remained silent, still puzzled, and followed the sound out of the room.

The moon was high in the night sky and seemed normal. He didn't hastily assume that it was his father's ghost calling him, but rather that it might be some kind of mountain spirit that was imitating a human voice.

So he took his sword and walked out of the room.

Then, following the moonlight, they searched for the sound.

They eventually reached a lush wilderness. Gong Ziqi realized he had chased the sound for a long time, but the sound seemed to have an irresistible attraction, drawing him closer. When he pushed aside the tall grass that almost reached his knees, he found that the sound had stopped. He gripped his sword and searched anxiously in the moonlight.

But suddenly they discovered a place emitting a ghostly blue light.

Gong Ziqi swore that he had sensed something was wrong and told himself it was best not to go any closer, but when he saw the dark blue light, he was as if he was drawn to it and took steps toward the blue light.

Until they were almost upon each other.

Suddenly, his footing sank deep, as if he were in a giant trap, and he slid straight down into the cave below.

At that moment, Gong Ziqi thought he might have fallen into some kind of monster's trap, and that he was doomed to perish there. But then he suddenly remembered that he was still holding his sword.

So Gong Ziqi made a ruthless decision, and casually stuck his sword into the surrounding soft wall.

Then he stopped moving.

Still shaken, Gong Ziqi struggled to climb up, but couldn't help glancing into the depths of the cave, where he discovered a pair of deep blue eyes staring at him!

Gong Ziqi was so frightened that he crawled out in a daze.

Fortunately, nothing came out from inside and dragged me away.

Gong Ziqi didn't even dare to sleep. He immediately summoned the peak master of Crimson Eyebrow Peak, Elder Chen Ran, and his men to come and see what was going on in the cave.

He initially thought it was the work of some kind of monster, but he didn't expect that when Chen Ran saw the cave, he would immediately gather his disciples and seal off the entire area of ​​the back mountain near this place, forbidding anyone from approaching.

Gong Ziqi asked Chen Ran what was going on, but Chen Ran just shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this. Worrying won't solve anything. Remember not to go near it, and don't go out if you hear any noise at night. This isn't some ordinary monster. And don't spread it around, understand?!"

After listening to Gong Ziqi's account, Wei Tu also found it very strange.

It imitated the voice of Gong Ziqi's father... According to Gong Ziqi, his father had passed away many years ago. If it was a demon making that sound, how would it know?

In other words, there are only two explanations: either the voice was Gong Ziqi's auditory hallucination, but that's very unlikely.

Either this strange creature possesses a bizarre ability to know the most irresistible voice for a person, thus drawing them in.

There are indeed many monsters that set traps to harm humans, but Chen Ran's reaction is too strange. Wei Tu has read a lot of books in this period of time, but he has not found any monsters that fit this description.

Wei Tu asked Gong Ziqi.

"Since Elder Chen Ran told you not to spread this around... why did Senior Brother Gong still tell me?"

This statement was made to guard against the possibility that Gong Ziqi might fall for the trap, and to guard against the possibility that his mind and body might be controlled by that strange entity. After all, in Wei Tu's mind, Gong Ziqi was honest and simple, quite obedient to Chen Ran, and would never do anything to disobey Chen Ran. Moreover, he was a person who kept his mouth shut.

Gong Ziqi looked helplessly at Wei Tu.

"At first, I was determined not to tell anyone, but later I discovered that... on the five peaks of the Yuanjian Sect, there were varying degrees of disciple disappearances during this period, but the elders refused to tell the truth. Moreover, a few disciples who survived the ordeal secretly told me that they had encountered similar things. They heard voices calling to them at night, imitating them perfectly. They were calling to their beloved senior or junior sisters, deceased relatives, or even their master."

Wei Tu frowned.

No one else told me about this.

Either the secrecy was handled very well, or some people simply didn't know about it.

However, all of this highlights one message: within the Yuanjian Sect, there seems to be a sense of urgency regarding this matter, but they dare not take the initiative to attack, instead opting to blockade the situation and wait for it to subside.

His master should know, and Ran Xinxue should know too, but neither of them told him...

And it just so happens that I haven't gone to see them during this period.

Therefore, it is possible that this matter has only recently escalated and is showing signs of becoming uncontrollable.

Wei Tu did not act rashly, but looked at Gong Ziqi.
