Chapter 71: Escape
When Shen Jingxuan ran all the way back to Yaoguang Palace, Yun Qingmo was already waiting outside.
"Amo, have you packed your things?" Shen Jingxuan asked as she approached Yun Qingmo.
"I've packed up, where are you going?"
"We're not going anywhere. Let's go now." Shen Jingxuan went to the room to get the clothes she had packed in the morning, stuffed the bag into Yun Qingmo's arms, and pulled him away quickly.
As the sun reached three o'clock in the afternoon, the Great Elder sat in Feiyu Hall and fantasized about his future life. His mood became better and better.
Thinking of what Xuan'er had just said, that if there was something he wanted to do, she would learn it quickly, he became even more excited.
He rubbed his hands together, stood up and paced back and forth in the room. The smile on his face gradually became bigger, even showing his teeth.
Another half hour passed, and the Great Elder looked in the direction of the palace gate, but still did not see Shen Jingxuan appear.
An hour passed, and the Great Elder still didn't see Shen Jingxuan come back, so he walked out of the hall angrily.
"Where is the Palace Master?" asked the Great Elder.
"The Palace Master just went in the direction of Yaoguang Palace."
The Great Elder went straight to the Yaoguang Palace and asked everyone he saw, "Have you seen the Palace Master?"
"Great Elder, the Palace Master just went in that direction with Young Master Yun." The disciple raised his hand and pointed to the martial arts training ground.
The Great Elder changed direction and went to the martial arts training ground.
After walking around, he still couldn't see Shen Jingxuan, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
"Have you seen the Palace Master? Has he been here just now?" The Great Elder grabbed a person and asked, scaring the disciples so much that their faces were filled with fear.
"I, I..." The Great Elder raised his leg and kicked him: "Why are you stuttering? Speak quickly."
"Today, my little ancestor has never been here."
"Go and train." The Great Elder's forehead was throbbing. For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
He walked a few steps and suddenly stopped: "Someone, go see where the Palace Master is."
The people around quickly dispersed, and early in the morning in the Red Flame Temple, the drama of searching for the little ancestor was staged.
The longer the time went, the more anxious the Great Elder became. Where on earth did this damn girl go?
What he didn't know was that the disciples in the temple were indeed searching everywhere, but whenever they met other disciples they were secretly giving each other hints.
"Have you seen the little ancestor? The great elder is looking for him."
When people walking towards them see the questioner winking at them, they will calmly answer, "No."
Everyone in the entire Red Flame Temple knows that the little ancestor hates learning how to manage the affairs of the temple the most, and this happens almost every day.
They helped the little ancestor to cover up, and the elder was so angry that he was fuming, but only Shen Jingxuan was at ease and unrestrained.
At this time, Shen Jingxuan had already pulled Yun Qingmo away from the Red Flame Temple.
This time, the two of them deliberately dressed up a little uglier to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The two went straight to Longcheng and strolled leisurely on the streets of Longcheng.
"Amo, what do you think of Longcheng? How about we hold a branch meeting here?"
"Ah Xuan, let's go see if there is a good shop?"
Shen Jingxuan and Yun Qingmo's voices sounded at the same time, and the two smiled at each other.
I don’t know when it started, but there is an inexplicable tacit understanding between their thoughts and the way they do things.
The warm sunlight shines into the room through the window.
Xie Lingxiao, who had not slept all night, was sitting in a daze. He couldn't sleep for two consecutive nights because of Shen Jingxuan.
The night before, he was ecstatic because he had figured out Shen Jingxuan's feelings, but the night after, he felt heartbroken because of the way Shen Jingxuan smiled at that man.
After Xie Lingxiao got up and packed up, he brought Ling Feng and the others to the outside of the Red Flame Temple.
Ling Feng stepped forward and asked, "Brother, is your Palace Master here?"
"Not here." Yang Hai glared at Ling Feng.
He had seen them before. They were the ones who had come to cause trouble for the little ancestor a few days ago.
"Do you know where he is now?" Ling Feng continued to ask.
Seeing Ling Feng asking anxiously, Yang Hai glanced at Xie Lingxiao and said, "The little ancestor is really not here. He went out early in the morning."
Xie Lingxiao frowned: "She left alone?"
Yang Hai thought for a moment and replied, "No, the young ancestor left with Master Yun."
Master Yun? Could it be that man I saw last night?
Xie Lingxiao felt stuffy in his chest and turned away.
Ling Feng clasped his fists towards Yang Hai and said, "Thank you, little brother." Then he went to chase after his master.
"Ling Feng, go back and check on Master Yun. The more detailed the better." Xie Lingxiao instructed Ling Feng without even turning his head.
"Yes, master." Ling Feng replied with his head down.
His eyes kept turning as he thought about what had happened in the past few days. His master was becoming more and more strange.
When I came to Luofeng Temple before, my face was gloomy all the way.
It's only been a few days since he recovered? He's become incomprehensible again.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng was stunned for a moment. He remembered that it started from Hao Lin challenging his master every day.
His master's face was no longer gloomy, and he was no longer angry as before.
Yesterday, his master returned to his previous state, and people were afraid to approach him for fear of being angered by him.
Ling Feng's eyes widened. Hao Lin did not challenge him yesterday. This was the only difference in these days.
Could it be that his master...could it be that he likes Hao Lin?
Ling Feng looked at the people who were getting farther and farther away, and quickly caught up with them.
Walking beside Xie Lingxiao, he looked up at him from time to time.
Hao Lin is a man, so his master wouldn't be what he thinks he is, right? Ling Feng was puzzled.
The people outside the Scarlet Flame Temple gradually dispersed, but the people inside the temple complained bitterly.
The Great Elder waited for news in vain, and finally couldn't control his anger that had been building for days and exploded.
In the end, it was his secret guards who brought back the news, which made him so angry that he roared and screamed in Feiyu Palace.
The great elder glared at the person sitting next to him and said, "Look, all the disciples in the hall are helping the hall master to escape. Where have you seen this before?"
Seeing that he was extremely angry, the Second Elder tried to straighten his lips and said, "Yes, I haven't seen it. Don't be angry, brother. She is still young, so it's normal for her to be unable to control her desire to play."
"You are still speaking for her? She has been spoiled by you guys." The first elder glared at the second elder.
The third elder was delighted when he heard this: "You've spoiled her a lot, do you think we don't know?"
"You could have stopped her from running away, but you didn't do that?"
The elder's eyes were red. "Am I spoiling her? I let her go out because I was afraid she would get bored staying in the palace."
"Look what he did? He left without saying goodbye and teamed up with all his disciples to deceive an old man like me."
Li Luo was sitting next to him with his head down. If you looked closely, you would find that his shoulders were shaking rhythmically.
He could hardly hold back his laughter. Ah Xuan was so amazing that she even asked all the disciples to cover for her, yet she ran away early.
The third elder saw that the first elder was furious and comforted him, "Brother, don't be angry. You see Xuan'er is not bad either."
"Do you think any palace master can do this? Not only did she recognize a bunch of grandchildren, but she was also able to let those grandchildren cover up their little ancestor's escape. She must be a very capable person."
It must be said that the Third Elder would have been better off not comforting him. As soon as these words came out of his mouth, it was as if he had hit the First Elder's sore spot.
