Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

57: Chapter 57 E’er is not staying here.After resting for half a day.

Su Xuan and his companion set off for Jueqing Valley at Gongsun Lüe’s repeated and earnest pleas.

From two people and one eagle, it became three people and one eagle.

Apart from the addition of one person, there wasn’t much change.

Of course, the one who suffered the most was the Little Eagle.

Not only did she have to carry an extra person, but her meals had also drastically declined in quality.

Especially the meal right before departure—her so-called good sister, Li Mochou, actually fed her chicken bones!

A whole pot full of them!

It was truly infuriating for a bird!

Hmph! For Su Xuan’s sake, she, the great bird, would not stoop to the pettiness of a small-minded person and would endure it this once.

On the Little Eagle’s back, perhaps because it was her first time in the sky or for some other reason, Gongsun Lüe tightly clung to Li Mochou and the other, burying her head between them without separating for a moment.

The distance to Jueqing Valley wasn’t exactly far, but it wasn’t close either.

With the Little Eagle flying diligently, the three of them reached Jueqing Valley in just two days.

Jueqing Valley was hidden behind a waterfall. If not viewed from high above,

passing by its side, an ordinary person might never discover it in their entire lifetime.

The area around Jueqing Valley was utterly deserted, truly a perfect place for seclusion.

After setting the three down, the Little Eagle returned to the sky to circle once more.

The trio didn’t take the complex rockery and trap-filled paths.

Instead, they descended directly from the air into Jueqing Valley.

The moment they landed, they encountered Fan Yiweng, Gongsun Zhi’s Disciple who was even older than his Master.

”Junior Sister!?” Fan Yiweng exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the woman descending from the sky. ”Junior Sister, how did you come down from the sky?”

As he spoke, Fan Yiweng’s eyes glanced aside and saw Li Mochou standing nearby. ”Miss Li!”

”Junior Sister! Miss Li! You’ve actually returned together! Where’s Master? Why don’t I see Master?!” A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Fan Yiweng’s Face as his large eyes darted around, searching for any sign of Gongsun Zhi.

”Stop looking, he didn’t come back!” Before Fan Yiweng could find him, Gongsun Lüe said coldly. ”And don’t mention him in front of me ever again!”

”This... alright.” Fan Yiweng was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly.

Master had never liked Junior Sister much, and they had some conflict over the matter concerning Miss Li before.

Fan Yiweng thought they were still having a spat and didn’t pay it much mind.

Gongsun Lüe knew Fan Yiweng had misunderstood, but she didn’t bother to explain.

Fan Yiweng was blindly loyal to Gongsun Zhi. In the entire Jueqing Valley, not a single person had ever treated her with genuine sincerity.

She didn’t want to waste time on this either.

Turning around, she lifted her pretty Face, revealing a bright smile. ”Sister Li, Big Brother, let’s go~”

Su Xuan and the other smiled and nodded.

Then, Gongsun Lüe took their hands and led them towards the Medicine Pavilion.

Fan Yiweng’s attention had been solely on Gongsun Lüe and Li Mochou earlier; only now did he notice Su Xuan’s presence.

Just as he was about to inquire, Gongsun Lüe cut him off with a sentence, ”Don’t follow us!”

From the moment Gongsun Zhi tried to kill her, Gongsun Lüe had come to a realization.

Recalling the life she had led in Jueqing Valley for over a decade and the treatment she had received,

she held not a shred of fondness for this utterly cold place.

Of course, she wouldn’t actively seek to destroy Jueqing Valley either; after all, it was the place that had raised her for over ten years.

But she also didn’t want to have any further entanglement with the people of Jueqing Valley.

There had been none before because no one was willing to exchange sincerity with her.

There would be none in the future because she no longer wanted to exchange sincerity with these people.

The words Fan Yiweng was about to utter were swallowed back down.

Watching the retreating figures of Gongsun Lüe and the other two, Fan Yiweng felt something was odd.

This Junior Sister seemed somewhat different from usual.

Based on Fan Yiweng’s understanding of Gongsun Lüe, no matter how grievously wronged she felt by Gongsun Zhi, she would never have reacted like this before.

Moreover, Gongsun Lüe had always been gentle and amiable with everyone in the valley.

Why would she be like this today...
