Chapter 141 What color are the mermaid's tails?
As the distant chimes abruptly ceased, Mei Shiyu also withdrew from her memories of her past life.
Before our eyes, the surging waves in the center of the water formation gradually subsided, leaving only ripples spreading outwards.
A moment later, the ripples disappeared, and the pool in the formation had dried up.
Mei Shiyu glanced at the water stains left on the ground, looked around, but still couldn't see Xue Rendong. She wondered what he was up to.
Yun Songxuan muttered to himself, "The sect leader and the others... must have already clashed with the people from Xuanwu City! No, I have to go find them; they might be nearby."
As soon as he moved, Mei Shiyu immediately followed, drawing her sword and saying quickly, "Brother Yun, I'll go with you."
"Thirteen!" Yun Songxuan blocked his way with his arm. "This is a feud between my Yunlan Sect and his Xuanwu City. How can I involve you in it? I know you must have your own business to attend to in this place. It's dangerous here, so you'd better leave quickly and not cause trouble for yourself."
Mei Shiyu said solemnly, "But you are my friend, a very, very good friend. I can't stand by and watch you when you are in danger, because if it were you, you certainly wouldn't do the same. As for trouble... I've encountered plenty of trouble, one or two more won't make a difference."
He's like someone who's had so many lice he's not afraid of getting bitten anymore; he's just given up on himself.
Having finally shaken off Li Tingyun's entanglement, she is now facing off against Xue Rendong again.
He's incompatible with the people of Taiji Hall by fate!
Trouble is unavoidable.
“Alright,” Yun Songxuan was deeply moved by Mei Shiyu’s sincere words and gently patted his shoulder. “Little Thirteen, you really are…”
"Wait!" Mei Shiyu suddenly interrupted him, turning to look back. "Brother Yun, you don't need to go looking for them, they've already arrived."
He heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar.
Before long, several figures emerged from the alley, followed closely by several "water beasts."
Water beasts, as the name suggests, are "wild beasts" that resemble tigers, leopards, jackals, or wolves, but whose entire bodies are made of water.
When they move their limbs, they shimmer and sparkle, beautiful as they are, but their fierce and powerful appearance cannot be ignored, and they are extremely aggressive.
The group was chased by the water beasts and fled in panic. One of them looked up and saw Yun Songxuan, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes.
He jumped three feet high, waving his arms and shouting, "Elder! Elder, save me!"
They were disciples of the Yunlan Sect.
Perhaps he was too emotional, and as he was on the verge of death, a glimmer of hope appeared, and he jumped up with great excitement!
Then, he fell hard.
The water beast roared and lunged forward like a wild boar, its two tusks determined to pierce through his body.
Suddenly, a silver needle flew past, piercing the water beast's skull and disappearing into its transparent body.
The young cultivator who had fallen to the ground rolled over and looked in astonishment at the silver needle that pierced through the entire beast's body, bringing with it a splash of water, before embedding itself in the wooden stake behind it.
The water beast transformed into a clear spring, splashing water onto the ground, turning it into a puddle of dirty water.
The other water beasts were also attacked by the silver needles, each one bursting like a water balloon, splashing water onto the ground.
Yun Songxuan stepped forward and helped the younger members of his sect to their feet. With a flick of his wrist, he retrieved all the silver needles he had shot out into his sleeve.
You really shouldn't underestimate those who study medicine.
The healer's needlework was divine, comparable to a hidden weapon. If he were to coat the needle with poison and use it to target vital points, he could kill without leaving a trace.
The medical practitioners of the Yunlan Sect were indeed not good at martial arts.
But there are many ways to kill.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a fight to the death to determine the winner.
A spear in the open is easy to parry, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against.
The Yunlan Sect is a family tradition of medicine and poison. The Yun family members are not only skilled in medicine and medicine, but also adept at making poisons. They have some insidious methods that make people wish they were dead.
For example, their sect leader, Yun Songhe, is known as the "King of Medicine," but the "medicine" here does not refer to a good medicine for curing diseases and saving lives.
It was poison.
Extremely poisonous.
Yun Songhe was a master at concocting poisons.
Thieves can cause harm to people.
Yun Songxuan did the opposite of him, and liked to figure out how to cure the poisons he made. He was a true conscience of the industry. Yunlan Sect could do without him, but the cultivation world could not do without him.
Although Yun Songxuan's status in the Yunlan Sect is not very high, he has been practicing medicine for many years, is a free and easy person, and likes to make friends from all over the world. He has a wide network of connections, and in the entire cultivation world, his reputation is much better than that of his sect leader.
It is said that one should cultivate good relationships. Today, when he encountered trouble, he had a friend like Mei Shiyu who was willing to go to great lengths for him. Naturally, good deeds are rewarded.
The disciples Yun Songxuan had saved all surrounded him, while Mei Shiyu watched from a distance without disturbing him.
The disciples of the Yunlan Sect include both men and women, but they all wear their hair tied up and crowned, and wear loose robes with narrow sleeves.
They spoke all at once, their voices trembling with fear:
"Elder, the sect leader has found the exit of the border market. We know how to get out of this 'maze'!"
"But knowing this is one thing, right now we're surrounded on all sides. The people of Xuanwu City are ruthlessly attacking us. The few of us and the sect leader were all swept away by the water beasts..."
"The sect leader has already started fighting with Xue Rendong!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen a merman in his true form!"
"His tail is so long—"
"They even sent the sect leader flying!"
"..."
Yun Songxuan's face tightened, and he said solemnly, "What's wrong with you all? The sect leader has been sent flying, and you're all so excited?! Doesn't anyone care whether the sect leader is injured?"
"But I didn't even see where the sect leader landed after flying out, so how could I tell if he was injured or not... Did any of you see him?"
"No, all I saw was... the merman's tail was so big and magnificent!!!"
"Right? Right! I thought I was the only one who thought so. Hey, what color do you guys think his tail is? I feel like it's... a multicolored black!"
"Bullshit! It's clearly a shimmering, iridescent white!"
"..."
Yun Songxuan pondered, resting his chin on his hand: "Was what you saw really the same merman? Was its tail black or white?"
He realized he couldn't change the subject.
I might as well join the gossip squad.
He was also very curious because he had never seen a mermaid before.
During my previous trip to Xuanwu City, I didn't see Xue Rendong transform into her true form, but the mermaid's face was truly astonishing.
So they started discussing it amongst themselves.
The atmosphere was even somewhat cheerful.
Even Mei Shiyu, an outsider, couldn't stand the scene any longer. He had no choice but to step forward and say, "Brother Yun, can you talk about something serious?"
Yun Songxuan coughed suddenly, his face hardening, and he gave each of the younger generation a flick on the forehead. "What kind of time is this? You still have the mind to talk about such irrelevant things!"
The disciples quickly dispersed from their encirclement of him, obediently standing beside him and curiously sizing up Mei Shiyu. "Eh, who is this Immortal Venerable...?"
Mei Shiyu smiled slightly, about to reveal her identity, when a little girl opposite her tugged at her companion's sleeve and whispered excitedly:
"Ah, he smiled at me! He's so handsome, and he looks even more handsome when he smiles! He's so much less menacing than that fierce-looking mermaid from before. I guess I still prefer gentle men."
Mei Shiyu: "..."
He glanced at Yun Songxuan expressionlessly.
Yun Songxuan clasped his hands together, feeling utterly ashamed, and said, "My family's conduct is flawed, please forgive me! Little Thirteen, please don't tell anyone about our family's embarrassing affairs..."
How embarrassing!
