Chapter 105: You’re With Me Tonight
Too lazy to circle around with her, Lin Qingyue simply laid it all out, then drew his sword. At the same time, he rang the bell.
“It’s useless. Even if they come, you will have already become me, and I will have become you. Don’t be afraid. Be good, it will be over soon.”
Lin Qingyue shouted, “Wait! Don’t attack yet, you have a vegetable leaf on your front teeth.”
The opponent paused. Lin Qingyue’s sword was already out.
“Amitabha.” Lin Qingyue smiled. “Sorry, my mistake.”
The Thousand-Faced Face Peeler blocked his sword with a sleeve and sneered, “A meager trick.”
“Everyone, come out!” Lin Qingyue yelled.
Swish, swish, swish. A pile of swords appeared, attacking the Thousand-Faced Face Peeler.
“Who told you I only had a few swords?” Taking advantage of the gap, Lin Qingyue shouted towards the door, “Eldest Senior Brother, save me!!”
The door was kicked open. The Thousand-Faced Face Peeler’s barrier was shattered.
“Little Junior Brother, are you alright?”
Ye Jingxian stepped forward to block in front of him, explaining, “There is another Thousand-Faced Face Peeler outside.”
Lin Qingyue was astonished. What was the situation? Someone was a copycat? “Which one is the real one?”
Ye Jingxian, who had already engaged the opponent, said, “I don’t know.”
The opponent’s strength was inferior to Ye Jingxian’s. Being wounded and knocked to the ground, she turned to flee. Seeing this, Lin Qingyue shouted, “Eldest Senior Brother, we can’t let her escape!”
On the other side, the other Thousand-Faced Face Peeler dodged the group’s attacks, came over to pull up the woman in front of Lin Qingyue, and the two vanished into the dark night.
They wanted to chase, but the enemy was more familiar with the terrain than they were. The opponents fled without a trace; even using tracking spells couldn’t locate them.
Ye Jingxian: “They escaped.”
Yu Qianqian didn’t understand. “Why were there two Thousand-Faced Face Peelers?”
Lin Qingyue sat down and poured himself a cup of hot water to warm his body. “I don’t know, but they are definitely working as a gang. That woman could change faces, so she should be the real Thousand-Faced Face Peeler. What about the one you all encountered?”
Ye Jingxian: “The moment he appeared, we attacked. He had some skills.”
This was why when Lin Qingyue was surrounded by the barrier, they hadn’t arrived immediately.
Yuan An (The leader of the Saber Drawers) said, “We are going to the Wu family tomorrow. We can split up then.”
Yu Qianqian: “We want to go too.”
After speaking, she looked at Ye Jingxian and Wen Hongyu. “Right, Senior Brother, Senior Sister?”
Wen Hongyu: “Mn, the plea for help was sent by the Wu family, so naturally we should go take a look. Besides, the Wu family has the most people who were skinned.”
Lin Qingyue was getting sleepy. He didn’t even hear clearly what they were saying; his brain wasn’t turning at all, he just wanted to sleep. Quietly yawning twice, Ye Jingxian resisted the urge to pat his head and spoke up, “It’s late. Let’s talk about everything tomorrow morning.”
Hearing that he could sleep, Lin Qingyue turned and walked toward his room. Before he reached the door, he was blocked by Ye Jingxian.
“Little Junior Brother, tonight you’re with me. Second Junior Sister will be with Junior Sister Yu.”
Lin Qingyue nodded. “Sure.”
Turning around, he walked into Ye Jingxian’s room. Ignoring everything else, he pulled up the quilt and got into bed, leaving half the space for his Eldest Senior Brother. “Eldest Senior Brother, I’m sleeping first. I left half for you.”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of deep breathing could be heard. Ye Jingxian stood by the bed looking at the bundle of blankets. He hesitated for a moment, then climbed into bed with light movements.
Lin Qingyue, who had fallen asleep instantly, rolled over and hugged the man directly, rubbing his small face against him twice. Ye Jingxian’s breath hitched. He turned his head slightly, looked at him deeply, and only closed his eyes after an unknown amount of time passed.
Early the next morning.
Lin Qingyue woke up, stretched his waist, and took two deep breaths. He was alone in the bed; Ye Jingxian had already risen. He walked out and saw Ye Jingxian, who surprisingly had faint dark circles under his eyes—looking no different than if he had seen the Thousand-Faced Face Peeler looking for him.
He asked carefully, “Eldest Senior Brother, did I snore, grind my teeth, or talk in my sleep last night?”
Otherwise, why did he look like he hadn’t slept well?
Ye Jingxian: “No, Little Junior Brother slept very quietly. I was just pondering the Thousand-Faced Face Peeler’s objective last night.”
Hearing this, Lin Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his sleeping habits weren’t the problem.
“Eldest Senior Brother, when the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a way. No need to think so much, we’ll catch them eventually.”
After speaking, he went straight out to find Wen Hongyu and Yu Qianqian, not forgetting to look back and tell his Eldest Senior Brother to eat a pill to refresh himself.
By the time they reached the Wu residence, it was already Sishi (9-11 AM). Hearing that people had arrived, the Wu family head came out personally to greet them. When the butler said two groups had come, he didn’t mind at all.
“Three groups, four groups, it’s all fine. As long as you catch the Thousand-Faced Face Peeler quickly and don’t let him stay in Cloud Peace City.”
Patriarch Wu spotted Ye Jingxian and the others immediately. “Are you the Daoists from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?”
Ye Jingxian nodded slightly. “Mn.”
Seeing their young age, Patriarch Wu didn’t show any disdain on his face. He simply shifted his gaze to the other group, ushering everyone inside. After tea and pastries were prepared, Patriarch Wu began to recount the story slowly.
This patriarch used to be high-spirited, but ever since his daughter was skinned on her wedding day, his son, nephew, and brothers had not escaped the same fate. Now, he truly looked much older.
His story was extremely pitiful. This Thousand-Faced Face Peeler, aside from liking good-looking people, seemed particularly fond of targeting their Wu family.
Patriarch Wu’s face was full of grief. After the grief came endless worry; he only hoped Ye Jingxian, Yuan An, and the others could help.
Lin Qingyue drank tea beside Ye Jingxian. Listening to it all, the daughter was just glossed over with a simple stroke. “When we entered the city, we heard that the Eldest Miss’s cultivation partner is a devoted lover. Where is he now?”
When he suddenly mentioned the young master of the He family, Patriarch Wu’s expression turned unpleasant. “He’s still guarding my daughter’s grave, saying he won’t leave until the Thousand-Faced Face Peeler is found. Hmph, if it weren’t for him failing to protect Ying’er, why would this old man have lost his child?”
Speaking of this, Patriarch Wu couldn’t help but cry. Clearly, it was a sad and tragic matter, yet Lin Qingyue didn’t feel much genuine sorrow from him.
Raising his eyes to look at the others, everyone was listening quietly. Only Yu Qianqian’s face was full of indignation and heartache. Lin Qingyue passed her a pastry he hadn’t eaten, signaling her not to be angry yet.
“We wish to visit Eldest Miss Wu’s grave,” Ye Jingxian stated.
Patriarch Wu looked troubled. “This… it’s not that I won’t let you see, it’s really that the kid from the He family has gone mad. He won’t let anyone near, let alone touch anything.”
Ye Jingxian: “Just tell us the location. We will resolve the rest ourselves.”
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry. They only learned how many people had died; they obtained zero information about the Thousand-Faced Face Peeler.
On the way, Lin Qingyue thought the Face Peeler was created by someone stepping onto the path of evil cultivation due to an extreme obsession with beauty.
But Ye Jingxian told him there might be another possibility. Lin Qingyue immediately thought of the theory he had read before.
“Eldest Senior Brother, do you mean…”
