Chapter 425 Confusing right and wrong
The waiter looked around nervously, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he leaned towards Bai Yaoyao.
He lowered his voice and said, "I don't recognize the fairy. You must have come to the Xuanling Mountains recently to hunt monsters, right?"
Seeing Bai Yaoyao nodded without comment, the waiter continued: "Fairy, you don't know that the person who kidnapped Xiao Lin that day was Meng Duan, the disciple of the master of Xuan Dan Sect. I am waiting here just to remind you, Fairy, not to rescue people easily. Xuan Dan Sect is a dangerous place for you right now. You can't go there!"
Bai Yaoyao raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Why? Just because I want to save a mortal?"
You must know that in this world, immortal cultivators regard mortals as grass.
Although her cultivation has only recovered to the late stage of Qi Refining, her consciousness is at the Nascent Soul stage, and she is considered to have some combat power in this small border area.
She originally planned to visit him directly and bring him back on the pretext that she had an old relationship with him.
If Shelin really did something offensive, at the very least, she would just pay some compensation.
Unexpectedly, the waiter laughed twice, "Although I don't know the fairy's level of cultivation, but based on her status as a fairy, if it was normal, Meng Duan would naturally give the fairy face to save a mere mortal. But, what if the fairy has something that Meng Duan wants?!"
"What is that?" Bai Yaoyao's heart trembled, and she narrowed her eyes dangerously, looking the waiter up and down.
This waiter was waiting here specifically, saying these ambiguous words to them for no apparent reason. What was his intention?
The waiter shuddered under Bai Yaoyao's cold gaze, but still forced a smile and said:
"Fairy, please don't misunderstand me. I have no ill intentions. I just happened to see what happened that day. Brother Xiaolin is usually very kind to me, so I don't want you to go to that tiger's den without knowing what's going on!"
Before Bai Yaoyao could say anything, She Wan, who was standing next to him, heard the waiter say that he saw what happened that day, and quickly spoke up.
"Little Second Brother, please tell us what happened to my brother that day!"
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Yaoyao's expression lighten up a bit, and quickly narrated what happened that day.
It turned out that on that day when She Lin delivered his prey to Zuixianlou, he accidentally dropped his purse on the ground when he was paying the bill, and a magic pill rolled out of it.
The elixir rolled to the feet of Meng Duan who happened to come in and was picked up by him.
When She Lin stepped forward to ask for it, Meng Duan's face changed drastically and he accused She Lin of stealing his elixir.
Everyone present, from the shopkeeper to the diners, knew that Meng Duan was the direct disciple of the Xuandan Sect's leader and was very favored. So, whether they had seen it or not, they all spoke up to testify.
She Lin was unable to defend himself and his struggle was in vain, so he was taken away by Meng Duan.
After hearing this, She Wan was so angry that she trembled all over. "How can you confuse right and wrong like this! I told you that my brother would never steal someone's things! Since you saw it that day, why didn't you help my brother testify?"
The second brother smiled awkwardly, "The immortals are so powerful, how dare we mortals disobey them!"
Bai Yaoyao smiled, "Oh? Now that you've told us this, aren't you afraid of disobeying the immortal?"
"Of course I am afraid, but..." The waiter showed a flattering smile on his face, "I dare not deceive the fairy. I have a younger brother who is also in the Xuandan Sect. Meng Duan always likes to bully him. I have no other ability, so I can only borrow the fairy's power to make things difficult for him. This can be regarded as my brother's venting of anger!"
Bai Yaoyao looked at the waiter deeply. She didn't expect him to be so single and tell her directly how he took advantage of her.
The waiter heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Bai Yaoyao did not make trouble, and quickly added: "If the fairy wants to save people, it is definitely not possible to do it openly. I am willing to offer a plan to let you enter the mountain without anyone noticing. Once you enter the mountain gate, if you want to save people, it will depend on your ability..."
After a few whispers, the waiter took his leave, and Bai Yaoyao and She Wan also left Xuanling Town.
On the way back to the mountain, Bai Yaoyao remained silent, and She Wan opened her mouth several times but hesitated to speak.
Finally, the yellow mud house was in sight. Bai Yaoyao said coldly, "You wait at home. I'll go to Xuandan Gate to check the situation."
She Wan shuddered and pulled Bai Yaoyao's sleeve, "Sister Yaoyao, are you angry?"
Bai Yaoyao frowned and said nothing. She Wan said anxiously, "Sister Yaoyao, don't be angry. Brother didn't mean to lie!"
Bai Yaoyao snorted coldly, "You didn't mean to deceive me? When I gave you the Pu Shou Pill, I told you that this pill can increase the lifespan of mortals. It is not easy to refine, so you need to take it immediately to avoid being known and causing trouble. She Lin lied to me that he had taken it, but in fact he secretly hid it. Now he has caused a fatal disaster because of this pill. Isn't it his own fault?"
What the waiter said was very clear. Why did Meng Duan bring She Lin back to Xuan Dan Men? Wasn't it because he knew that a mere mortal would not be able to refine such elixir? So he captured She Lin and waited for the alchemist to fall into his trap.
If she really rashly went to the door to ask for it, she would probably be in big trouble.
However, what people don’t know is that this Pu Shou Dan is extremely precious to mortals, but it is not of much use to those who practice cultivation.
So why did Meng Duan make such a big fuss?
Xu Wan knew that her brother had done something wrong, but at the moment, she had no other choice but to hope for Bai Yaoyao's help.
So I could only plead in a low voice: "Brother, he did something wrong, but he did it for me. Father once said that there must be a good medicine in this world that can eliminate my physical condition. Brother remembered this in his heart. In the past, no matter what precious things he had, he would save them, hoping that he could exchange them for that good medicine one day."
She Wan bit her lower lip and looked at Bai Yaoyao pitifully, "Sister Yaoyao, if you want to blame someone, blame me!"
Bai Yaoyao let out a breath of foul air, forget it, forget it, they are two siblings with a deep love for each other, and she is here with a gloomy face and acting like a bad person.
After all, the grace of saving a life is greater than heaven.
Just take a risk and rescue She Lin. This way, this favor can be completely repaid!
After instructing She Wan not to go out casually, Bai Yaoyao summoned the flying sword and headed towards Xuandan Town.
Xuandan Town is the largest town under the jurisdiction of Xuandan Sect.
There is a base of Xuandan Sect inside, which recruits mortals or independent cultivators with spiritual roots and talent for alchemy in the town all year round.
The strategy proposed by the waiter was to let Bai Yaoyao hide his identity, sneak in as an alchemist, and then try to rescue people.
Bai Yaoyao hid in the teahouse opposite the stronghold and observed for half a day. Finding nothing unusual, she walked in in disguise.
Bai Yaoyao was led to the martial arts training ground. In the center of the ground stood a half-meter-high alchemy furnace. A woman in a purple robe and with pearls and jade on her hair was concentrating on making an elixir.
Right in front of her sat two Xuandan Sect disciples in grass-green robes.
Both disciples were ethereal and handsome, and looked very similar. They were actually twins.
The person leading the way stopped outside the martial arts training ground.
"Please wait here for a moment. Once the two Wu brothers have finished testing the qualifications of the person in front, they will call you forward!"
