Fairy, help me practice

　The old man with a long beard sighed and was about to give up: "The distance is too far. I can't use magic. I risk exposing everyone for just him."

　"But we can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

　Lingzhou saw that the man's fingers had turned white and he would soon be unable to hold on, so he shouted anxiously.

　"Uncle Wu, please unlock the spiritual energy lock in my Dantian, and I will go save him. Whether he lives or dies, he and I will bear the consequences."

　"No."

　Lingzhou stomped his feet, untied his belt, wrapped it around a nearby tree, and jumped down.

　Everyone was stunned by her sudden action.

　"Idiot! Don't bother with her."

　The old man with a long beard waved his hand and was about to move forward.

　The little boy looked at the Lingzhou that was almost catching the disciple who fell off the cliff, and then looked at the shadow of the fire demon bat that was gradually moving away, and was in a dilemma.

　At this time, Lingzhou also saw his fellow disciples walking further and further away, and they didn't even care about him, which made him feel chilled.

　What she couldn't accept the most was that even if she took the risk of jumping off the cliff, she still couldn't save her fellow disciples.

　"Junior Sister Lingzhou, I'm being controlled by you! Go back now! I've already escaped the Fire Demon Bat's wings. The demons from the Demon Peak will soon swarm over here. Leave now!"

　The fellow disciples were grimacing, their faces covered in sweat, they had reached the extreme point.

　"No! How can you be righteous if you don't help someone in need?"

　Lingzhou tried hard to adjust his posture, and his hand was approaching the back of his fellow disciple's collar.

　The fellow disciple only held the rock with one hand and did not dare to move too much, so he did not dare to raise his other empty hand. He could only watch Lingzhou figure out a solution alone.

　Just when he felt his collar tighten and his heartstrings relax, a "ripping" sound of silk was suddenly heard.

　Lingzhou fell down suddenly. She knew something was wrong and her face turned pale with fear.

　"Junior sister!"

　When she brushed past her fellow disciples, she heard their anxious and guilty cries, and Lingzhou could only smile bitterly.

　Not only did he fail to save the person, but he also lost himself... However, if you don't do what is right, what's the point of living?

　Just when she thought she was going to fall hundreds of feet to the ground and be smashed to pieces, her body suddenly stretched, and although it was painful, it stopped her fall.

　Ling Zhou looked up in surprise and found that his feet were held in a warm big hand. Looking up again, it was the monk with the child who looked very similar to Chen Yao.

　"you……"

　She didn't know what to say. The relief she felt after escaping death and the guilt she felt for having implicated another person burst out in tears.

　"Next time you want to save someone, it's better to consider whether you are sure of it first, okay?"

　Chen Yao pulled her ankle and they both rose up at the same time.

　Only then did Ling Zhou realize that Chen Yao was holding one of the fire bat's claws with his other hand, and the fire bat's reluctant scream reached her ears.

　"Hold on to my shoulders. Luckily you're not as heavy as her, otherwise, this fire demon bat wouldn't be able to hold up the three of us."

　Chen Yao said to the monk hanging on the cliff.

　"Why, am I heavy?"

　Lingzhou felt ashamed and embarrassed.

Chapter 303 was recognized

　"Fellow Daoist, if you continue to act so stubbornly and do something that puts everyone at risk, then we will part ways!"

　The old man with a long beard said to Chen Yao coldly with a sullen face.

　He didn't care about Ling Zhou and his disciples who had escaped death. He just scolded Chen Yao and snatched the Fire Demon Bat away.

　Chen Yao glanced at him and said, "I was in a hurry. I'm sorry."

　The old man with a long beard snorted coldly: "I hope you can think more clearly next time."

　After saying that, he turned around and continued to climb the mountain.

　Lingzhou's face turned pale. He looked back at the cliff behind him and thanked Chen Yao sincerely.

　Chen Yao always felt that he could sense something different from her eyes.

　With the experience of Lingzhou and his disciples as a lesson, the others walked carefully and no accidents occurred afterwards.

　The surroundings became darker and the dark blue mountain scenery turned into deep purple.

　The old man with a long beard sighed: "It seems that I have slowed down today after all."

　As he spoke, he glanced at Lingzhou and Chen Yao, still extremely dissatisfied with them.

　Chen Yao turned a blind eye, while Ling Zhou's face turned ashen. She didn't say a word along the way, and seemed very disappointed with her fellow disciples' indifferent observation.

　"It's getting dark, everyone, let's rest here for the night and set out tomorrow! Xumu, take two people to patrol the area first. You'll be on guard for the first half of the night, so be careful and attentive."

　The old man gave an order and separated a small fire demon bat.

　A disciple stepped out, took the bat, and left with two or three people.

　The bonfire crackled.

　Chen Yao, Ling Zhou and others were squeezed into the shadow of a tree far away from the campfire.

　The child looked unconvinced: "It's obviously them who are afraid of danger and hide themselves in fear, so why do we seem to be at fault?"

　The disciple who fell off the cliff said with guilt, "It's all my fault."

　"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You can't be wrong for the rest of your life just because you made a mistake once!" Lingzhou's tone was calm and firm, but his eyes were looking at Chen Yao.

　Chen Yao smiled at her.

　"I was wrong." Lingzhou suddenly said to him.

　"Do you regret saving someone?"

　Chen Yao felt that her gaze had some other meaning and wanted to interrupt.

　But he failed. Lingzhou shook his head and said, "I was wrong to follow the crowd."

　Chen Yao stopped looking at her.

　Ling Zhou suddenly stretched out her foot and rubbed his toes: "Do you want to sit over there with me for a while?"

　She pointed to a protruding cliff, like a broken bridge piercing the night sky.

　The sky was covered with rolling clouds, and it was pitch black, with no stars or moon.

　Lingzhou first sat down beside the broken stone, looked up and stared at Chen Yao intently.

　"You almost fell off a cliff during the day, and you dare to come here at night?"

　Chen Yao avoided her gaze and teased with a smile.

　"I know who you are."

　Lingzhou was straightforward.

　Chen Yao sat down beside her and looked at the mountains, forests and plains in the distance, and the faint village lights that were smaller than sparks.

　"I guess you guessed it."

　"Then why did you save me? Wouldn't it be better to just let me fall to my death?"

　Lingzhou observed Chen Yao's reaction from the corner of his eye.

　Chen Yao smiled and turned back to look at her: "Because you are beautiful."

　Ling Zhou was startled, and his dark face turned red.

　, avoiding his gaze: "I...I'm talking to you seriously."

　"I answered sincerely."

　"They were right about you being a lecher."

　"Well, there is some truth to that."

　"But they said you betrayed the Demon Sect. After today, I don't believe it anymore."

　"It's a bit arbitrary for you to say that. Maybe I saved you just to make you think that way?" Chen Yao said half-jokingly.

　"That doesn't make sense. I'm just a nobody, a little disciple whose death isn't even worth wasting time saving. There's no point in wasting your time on me. It would be more convenient for you if I fell to my death."

　"Maybe!"

　Ling Zhou turned around and looked at Chen Yao. "So, I think the sect's claims and criticisms of you are unreasonable. Did you really betray your master and ancestors? Did you really destroy Hanyu Peak?"

　Chen Yao thought of Ling Ning's graceful and attractive figure and shook his head: "Not yet."

　Yun Jiang snorted coldly in his consciousness.

　"It wasn't me who destroyed Hanyu Peak."

　"I'm actually skeptical. No matter how powerful you are, your realm determines the upper limit of your strength. How can you destroy the strongest peak ruled by Master Ling Ning by yourself?"

　"Then why do you seem to hate me?"

　Chen Yao remembered that she said last night that she wanted to cut herself into pieces.

　Lingzhou chuckled: "If I say it's because I admire you, would you believe me?"

　"You might as well say that you adore me, and that love turns to hate."

　Ling Zhou heard Chen Yao teasing him like this and spat, "You wish."

　“It’s not beautiful.”

　Lingzhou glared: "Why?"

　"Because I'm afraid you'll tear me into pieces."

　Ling Zhou chuckled, then turned stern. "Then you'd better be careful. I don't know what you're doing here, but it's best not to harm your fellow practitioners."

　Chen Yao smiled but didn't respond to her. He just looked at the crescent moon climbing up the eastern horizon in the distance.

　"At least you are being fair in your judgment of me now, thank you."

　Lingzhou smiled and said, "No, I should be the one thanking you."

　She also looked at the crescent moon rising into the clouds in the east and whispered, "Thank you for not letting me be completely disappointed with this world."

　"Perhaps disappointment is the best option..."

　Before Chen Yao finished speaking, the old man with a long beard scolded Ling Zhou: "Ling Zhou! Everyone is busy with their own things, how dare you sit there and talk about love?"

　"Who's talking about love?"

　Lingzhou stood up suddenly, turned around and glared at the old man with a long beard.

　The old man with a long beard sneered: "I hope you can be more clear-headed and not tarnish the reputation of the sect."

　He raised his voice: "Xu Mu hasn't come back for a long time, go find them."

　After saying that, he didn't even look at Lingzhou and started to stir the campfire in front of him.

　He didn't even give her the fire demon bats that could mask her breath.

　Lingzhou looked at him with gritted teeth.

　The disciple who fell off the cliff came over and said, "Junior sister, I will go with you."

　"No, you have another task. Come here and pluck the feathers of this golden pheasant and tidy it up!"

　The long-bearded elder threw over a dead chicken.

　The disciple took it and said in surprise, "You want me to do kitchen work?"

　"It can't be helped. Everyone has important things to do right now. We need to focus on training and recovering our strength. Only the kitchen is relatively simple, so we don't worry about you causing trouble."

　The old man with a long beard said coldly.

　The disciple gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, looked at Lingzhou apologetically, and went to the stream not far away to pluck the hair.

　Lingzhou smiled bitterly and prepared to go find Xumu.

　"I advise you not to go."

　Chen Yao said without turning his head.
