Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 130 A Trip to Penglai (23)

Luo Zai Shui ultimately failed to wait for Ting Han to return home. When she was conscious, she kept packing her belongings, and when she was unconscious, she kept recalling the past.

Her life wasn't exactly smooth sailing, but thankfully she had her master and fellow disciples, which erased all the pain, leaving only memories and regrets.

She probably didn't want to leave; this land was filled with traces of her life. But she was very fortunate to be able to pass away quietly on this land, without leaving any regrets.

It would be even better if my senior brothers didn't come back. After all these years, they still haven't learned to accept separation calmly, and neither has she.

Thinking of this, Luo Zai Shui sat by the window and wrote her will.

To my senior brother:

How fortunate I am to have met you, to have known you through thick and thin, to have grown up with you, childhood sweethearts—this is truly a blessed union.

Luo paused for a moment while writing, sighed softly, put down the wolf-hair brush, picked up the thin letter on the table, and held it against the candlelight.

If my senior brother were to see this farewell letter, he would surely be in even greater pain. If that's the case, then it would have been better not to write it at all.

The candlelight burned a corner of the letter, and the noise outside interrupted her. Luo Zai Shui hurriedly put down the letter and rushed outside.

"You're not allowed in!"

Ignoring her own fear, Su Wusi reached out and stopped Wen Lian outside the hall, while Xue Xin also stared at Wen Lian with a wary expression.

"Young Master Wen, is it not impolite of you to come uninvited?"

Most of the disciples from Xianyun Peak had gone to suppress the demons, leaving few disciples inside the sect. The sect's defensive formation had always only blocked the demons, which allowed Wen Lian to slip in with a large group of people.

Someone brought Wen Lian a stool, and Wen Lian sat down without any regard for his image, crossing his legs and looking down at the sky: "This young master has come here to request to marry Luo Zai Shui, the second disciple of Xianyun Peak. What, do you have a problem with that?"

Xue Xin smiled insincerely: "Weddings are not a trivial matter. Even if Young Master Wen is interested, he should ask my senior sister's opinion first. Moreover, the sect leader and elders should also discuss it. Young Master Wen came to Xianyun Peak to propose marriage without even giving a word. This is really breaking the rules."

When Luo arrived, she overheard Wen Lian talking about proposing marriage. Her mind raced; this man's timing was definitely not a good thing, and she needed to contact outside help as soon as possible.

She first sent messages to Xie Jing and others, and then contacted the disciples of other sects. If she could stall for a while, she should be able to force this person to leave.

Wen Lian didn't take Xue Xin seriously at all. He snorted coldly, "Who gave you the right to speak here? Where's Luo Zai Shui? Tell her to come out!"

The Wen family members approached step by step with their weapons. Su Wusi braced himself and stepped forward: "This is Xianyun Peak territory. Don't even think about causing trouble!"

"Oh ho, if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't be able to tell the difference between the king and the king, will you?"

The Wen family was about to make their move when Luo stopped them with a drink.

What are you doing?

Dressed in white, she approached step by step. Although her face was pale, her aura of authority was enough to make people wary.

"Senior Sister!"

A flicker of joy flashed in Su Wusi's eyes, quickly turning into worry. She whispered, "You shouldn't have come. Go now!"

Luo Zai Shui patted her shoulder, stepped forward, and scanned the people Wen Lian had brought with him. Then his gaze settled on Wen Lian: "Young Master Wen said he was asking for marriage. Is this your sincerity?"

When Wen Lian saw her come out, he waved his hand, signaling his men to leave. His disgusting gaze swept over her body, as if he were appraising a valuable object.

He then grinned and said, "I sincerely wish to ask Miss Luo for her hand in marriage. I wonder if Miss Luo will grant me that request?"

He spoke of saving face, but his gaze fell on Su Wusi and Xue Xin behind her, his tone full of threat.

Luo Zai Shui looked at him coldly: "Firstly, I am not familiar with Young Master Wen, so how could there be any talk of us becoming Daoist partners? Secondly, Young Master Wen said that he sincerely wanted to marry me, but he brought so many people with him. Anyone who didn't know better would think he wanted to kidnap me. Furthermore, marriage is a major event that should be reported to heaven and earth and to one's parents. I have no parents, so my master and elders should at least know. Young Master Wen's disregard for etiquette is probably inappropriate."

Wen Lian realized that Luo Zai Shui was also threatening him. His actions would surely be condemned by the world. Moreover, she had her master and sect as her backing, so she was naturally not afraid of him.

Unfortunately, if it were the old Xianyun Peak, he might have been more wary, but now, how many people Xianyun Peak can send back is up to the Wen family.

Thinking of this, Wen Lian stood up and walked to Luo Zai Shui: "You probably don't know yet, but your junior brother is a member of the Demon Clan. All the major sects and families are now investigating him. You don't think your Xianyun Peak can escape this calamity, do you?"

Luo Zai Shui frowned. The implication was that someone was deliberately targeting Xianyun Peak. It was obvious who that person was.

Seeing that she still hadn't changed her expression, Wen Lian felt he hadn't said enough, so he slowly paced back and forth: "Oh, by the way, your master and the others are all in dire straits right now. Aren't you planning to come with us now?"

He stretched out his hand: "If you want to protect Xianyun Peak, you'd better listen to me."

Just as his hand was about to touch Luo Zai Shui, Su Wusi swung a weapon at him: "Stay away from my senior sister!"

The sword was blocked by his men before it could get any closer to him, and Luo Zai Shui took the opportunity to avoid the man's groping hands.

"Tsk, you won't listen to reason, so here comes the punishment! Let's do it!"

Luo Zai Shui hadn't expected this person to make a move directly. The Wen family had brought top-notch experts, and their disciples were certainly no match for them.

"Everyone, retreat to the main hall!"

The slower disciples had already died under the swords of the Wen family. Luo Zai Shui forced herself to calm down. She threw out talismans while leading her people into the main hall. The main hall was set up with an array that the Wen family could not break in a short time.

Blood stained Xianyun Peak and the eyes of the disciples.

"Senior brother, I'm scared..."

The towering flames destroyed everything on Xianyun Peak.

Wen Lian stood guard in front of the palace: "Luo Zai Shui, are you really not coming out?"

Luo Zai Shui clenched her fists so tightly that her fingertips dug into her palms, causing the veins to bulge.

"Senior sister, you can't go! If you go, you'll fall into the Wen family's trap!"

Su Wusi pulled her behind him, his eyes red-rimmed, but his posture firm.

Xue Xin also reassured her, "Senior sister, it's alright, Master and the others will be back soon."

"Are you still waiting for someone to rescue you?" Wen Lian guessed what they were thinking and scoffed. "Don't even think about it. Your good master is probably already in dire straits himself. Luo Zai Shui, I advise you to behave yourself, otherwise, once we break this formation, all the people behind you will die. Smash it!"
