C59 Temporary Protection of Life
He had lied casually, but he didn't expect that it would cause everyone to fall into deep thought. However, this kind of silence wasn't a bad thing for Wu Di. At least, he didn't need to be afraid of being questioned again. If he said anything wrong, he would really lose his life.
After a few seconds of silence, it was still Protector Qiu who spoke in the hall, "That secret realm has been peaceful for many years. At the borders, there are also some low grade Demonic Beasts of the First or Second Grade. How can there be at least a Third Grade flood dragon?"
"Yeah, this is too unbelievable. Could it be that something has changed? Could it be..." Protector Qing hesitated as he spoke.
After he spoke of the key point, he was stopped by Protector Yellow, who was beside him. "Junior brother, don't speak nonsense without evidence.
"Senior brother is right. I misspoke." Protector Qing actually apologized respectfully.
At this time, Protector Red stood up and said, "Listen to this kid's nonsense. I think he might have found some ancient cultivator's cave. Kid, if you don't want to die, tell me the truth now."
Wu Di's heart started beating faster after hearing what Protector Red said. He knew that Protector Red was talking nonsense because of him. However, he didn't expect Protector Red to hit the nail on the head. It was so close to the truth.
"Every word I said was true. If not for my good luck, I would not have been able to defeat this giant snake. This is all thanks to my friend Mu Lee giving me many fire talismans. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to have a chance to escape."
"Alright. There's nothing for you to do here. You can leave now." Protector Qiu said calmly.
Wu Di didn't know why they called him here, but as long as they didn't want to punish him, he wouldn't meddle in their business.
"Wait a minute. He can't leave yet. This kid has a lot of problems. Maybe he was sent here by the other side. I think we need to investigate this kid properly."
Protector Red blocked Wu Di's path with a flash. His attitude was obvious after his words. He was not going to let Wu Di go.
Protector White snorted coldly and said, "Old Hong, I think you should stop embarrassing yourself like this, okay? It's fine if you are arrogant, but now, a Protector is trying to make things difficult for an outer circle disciple. If this matter is spread, the reputation of the Rainbow Protector will be tarnished by you alone."
"Hmph! Last time, you helped this kid speak up. This kid has a problem, could it be that you have a problem as well? " I think not only do we need to investigate this kid, we also need to investigate you as well. "
This Protector Red was a person with a nose and a face, and he was especially narrow-minded. Although Lee Hong had embarrassed himself, everyone knew that Lee Hong was Protector Red's man. Losing Lee Hong's face was equivalent to slapping Protector Red's face on the spot. Of course, he was targeting Wu Di at all times.
At this moment, Wu Di bowed his head and lowered his head. In other people's eyes, he was just a pitiful worm. If he didn't offend Protector Red, he wouldn't have to face such a situation now.
Protector Yellow patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Don't take revenge for personal grudges. I don't like this kind of people the most. Protector Red, we still have something important to discuss. Could it be that you want to delay the big matter because of your personal grudge with a junior? "
This sentence had a weight to it. It made Protector Red, who was still calm, feel embarrassed. However, he still glared at Wu Di and said. "Brat, just you wait. I won't let you off easily."
Wu Di finally walked out of the pavilion alive. He thought he would lose his life just now.
"What's wrong?" A cold but pleasant voice sounded behind Wu Di.
Wu Di subconsciously turned his head and saw Meng Bingyao's beautiful face. Wu Di had seen many senior sisters. Some of them were beautiful, but most of them lacked a lot of spirit energy. They were not like Elder Sister Meng. From her eyes, one could not see any emotions. It was as if she did not belong here at all.
Wu Di looked a little dazed. If Meng Bingyao did not walk a few steps closer, he would probably continue to stare at her rudely.
"Elder Sister Meng." Wu Di cupped his fists and bowed his head respectfully.
Meng Bingyao looked in the direction of the hall and said, "Come with me."
Although Wu Di did not know what Elder Sister Meng was looking for him for, but to be able to do things for a beauty, this was what all men desired the most. Furthermore, Meng Bingyao was the most beautiful woman in the entire Seven Star Mountain.
However, this was all told by Wu Di. There was no way to verify whether it was true or not.
Meng Bingyao brought Wu Di directly to the edge of the cold pond. Only then did she turn around and ask, "The Protectors called you over. What is the matter?"
"Senior Sister, to be honest, I don't know. They just asked me why I advanced so quickly." Wu Di told her the truth.
At this time, Meng Bingyao knew she had to carefully check Wu Di's current cultivation, "Body Tempering Stage? You actually reached Body Tempering Stage so quickly?"
"Elder Sister Meng, this matter is a long story, but it is not because I used some evil technique." Wu Di immediately explained.
Meng Bingyao nodded and said, "I believe you, but you must have some fortuitous encounter. Otherwise, with your talent, it is indeed unbelievable."2
Wu Di's heart warmed up. This genius disciple who had only met him a few times actually believed what he said. For some reason, Wu Di's heart started beating faster.
"It's nothing. You can leave now." Meng Bingyao suddenly said.
Wu Di subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but he suddenly stopped. He wanted to say something but stopped. He might not be able to tell others, but if it was Meng Bingyao, he would. Could he?
"Senior sister..."
"What is it?" Meng Bingyao looked at Wu Di coldly. There seemed to be very little emotion in her eyes.
Wu Di's passion for the gas had all disappeared. He swallowed everything he wanted to say and said, "Nothing. I just wanted to say thank you for trusting me."
Meng Bingyao did not say anything. She closed the middle finger of her right hand and lightly waved it. The water-blue long sword on her back flew out of the scabbard. Meng Bingyao flew onto the sword and instantly turned into a ray of light and flew away.
Wu Di was a little envious when he saw this. This was the strength of the Earth Fiend Stage realm. It would be great if he could fly on his sword.
When Wu Di returned to his courtyard, the crowd had already dispersed. Only Zhao Tiehniu was sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, fiddling with something.
Wu Di sat opposite him, "Why is it here? You alone, where's Mu Lee?"
"That kid is so greedy. He won't be able to come back until he earns enough money." At this moment, Zhao Tiehniu placed something in front of Wu Di.
Wu Di looked and found it was a paper lantern. He was a little surprised. Zhao Tiehniu looked so rough. He did not expect to be able to do such delicate work.
"Everyone has to put the lanterns in the evening to pray for blessings. I see that each of you is busier than the other, so I made the lanterns for you."
"Light the lanterns and pray for blessings? That's right, I forgot about this matter." Wu Di muttered to himself.
There was an unwritten rule in Seven Star Mountain. Every year, there would be a lamp on this day to pray for blessings. Every disciple had to put a lamp on top of the sky. However, the sect did not tell them what to pray for.
In any case, this could be considered a grand occasion in Seven Star Sect. Those who paid attention to it would draw a beautiful picture on the cover of the lantern and even write a poem. Some people would make wishes or express their love to their loved ones through the lanterns.
At the beginning, these were all done secretly. Later on, when they realized that the sect didn't stop them, everyone became even more casual and treated this Blessing Assembly as a festival.
The three lanterns that Zhao Tiehniu made were the simplest. There was nothing on them. However, Wu Di still accepted the lanterns. He had some things to do and still needed to return to his room and chat with the Three-legged Small Caldron. There were many questions that he felt only the small caldron could answer.
After Wu Di entered the room, he locked the door tightly. At this time, the small Inhibition in the room had already been opened. He was not worried that someone would barge in.
Wu Di sat cross-legged on the bed. Not long after, he calmed down and let his consciousness enter his sea of consciousness.
The Three-legged Small Caldron seemed to be bigger than before, but Wu Di also discovered that his sea of consciousness was also bigger. This was a very normal situation. The size of his sea of consciousness meant that his spiritual consciousness was not strong enough.
