Chapter 52: Junior Sister, Let’s Take Junior Brother Home
Such a big commotion in the desert naturally alerted Ning Xiaoxiao, who had been sending little sand rats to keep an eye on the desert’s activity.
Although Ning Ke had told her to hide and not come to the desert.
But she endured for half a year. Now, knowing the underground palace was exposed to the surface again, and hearing the Sand Rat Clan say they saw a figure suspected to be Lou Yunxiao…
She immediately rushed towards the underground palace.
All the disciples also chased along with her.
After traveling at full speed in the heavy rain for five days, Ning Xiaoxiao saw the underground palace that had turned into ruins from afar.
Flying over, her gaze fell on the person sitting in front of the stone stele for who knows how long.
That person had the Blue Silver and Red Cloud swords shielding him from the rain above his head, yet they still couldn’t hide his wretched state.
“Senior Brother!”
Ning Xiaoxiao’s next sentence, “Where is my brother?” was just about to be asked when she noticed the person tightly held in Lou Yunxiao’s arms.
That person was dressed in white, dyed red by blood, then washed into a pale pink by the rain.
It made the young man’s face look even more deathly pale, without a shred of vitality.
It was her brother.
It was Ning Ke, who had smiled and patted her head, promising to reunite with her.
Zhuang Yusheng also arrived.
Seeing this scene, he stiffened in place.
At a loss for words for a moment.
Lou Yunxiao sensed their arrival and just raised his eyes.
Those eyes, which were gray-blue before blindness, now actually presented the dark red color of a Demon.
“You’ve come.”
His voice was hoarse, weathered like an old man in his declining years.
His fingers stroked Ning Ke’s face, saying, “A-Ke, Junior Sister is here. Wake up and say a word to her, okay?”
“Don’t you love her the most? If she sees you sleeping like this all the time, she will be sad.”
“So please open your eyes…”
Speaking to here, he suddenly paused.
His fingers trembled violently.
Covering Ning Ke’s eyelids.
Eyes that were already swollen from crying began to shed tears again.
“Better not open eyes, don’t open eyes…”
“A-Ke can’t see anymore.”
“To save me, he can’t see anymore.”
He looked at Ning Xiaoxiao in panic and said, “Junior Sister, eyes, A-Ke gave his eyes to me, he gave them to me…”
“It’s all me, I’m not good.”
“I didn’t protect Junior Brother well.”
“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault…”
His mad ravings recalled Ning Xiaoxiao’s thoughts.
When the young girl came back to her senses, her face was already covered in tears.
Her thin body trembled, as if she would faint in the next second.
Zhuang Yusheng supported her.
But Ning Xiaoxiao shook her head and stood straight by herself.
Her heart hurt to the point of suffocation.
But looking at the delirious Lou Yunxiao in front of her, she couldn’t say a single word of blame.
As early as that day when Ning Ke smilingly stroked her hair, she had predicted that there would be such a day.
This brother of hers.
She understood.
He valued everyone’s life, but never cared about what would happen to himself.
Very silly, very silly.
The girl clenched her fists tightly, nails piercing her palms, allowing her to speak amidst the immense grief.
“Senior Brother, my brother is dead.”
“The one who should wake up is you, not my brother.”
“Everything my brother gave you was of his own willing accord, so you don’t need to blame yourself.”
“I think my brother did this just so you could live, live like before, live on carrying his share too!”
The girl let the raindrops soak her.
Standing in this boundless world, she heard discussions coming from behind.
“Fellow Daoist A-Ke died?!”
“Didn’t Fellow Daoist Ning say Lou Yunxiao was heavily injured by the Great Demon? Why does he look perfectly fine to me?”
“Instead, it was Fellow Daoist A-Ke who lost his life?”
“Did you see his eyes?! That is the dark red color only Demons have!”
“Could it be that Fellow Daoist A-Ke was killed by him?!”
“This person is too bestial, actually able to lay a hand on his fellow disciple!”
“He must have demonized! Keeping him will surely cause future trouble!”
As soon as this was said, a disciple immediately stepped forward, pointing his sword at Ning Xiaoxiao: “Fellow Daoist Ning, now you see it too! Of the two of them, one dead and one alive. Lou Yunxiao doesn’t have a single scratch, while Fellow Daoist A-Ke died tragically here!”
“You should stay away from that Demon Lou Yunxiao! We will clean up the sect for you!”
Zhuang Yusheng was also red-eyed from the pain of Ning Ke’s death. Losing his demeanor for once, he cursed at those disciples, “Before the matter is investigated clearly, what kind of bullshit are you spouting!”
In contrast, Ning Xiaoxiao was calm to an extreme.
In the next instant, he saw Ning Xiaoxiao holding the Jinglan Sword, slashing down ruthlessly at that group of disciples without hesitation—
Boom—
Unrivaled Sword Intent wrapped around the sword qi.
One strike split the rain curtain.
Leaving a three-zhang-deep ravine on the ground.
If those few disciples hadn’t dodged quickly, they would definitely have been injured at this moment.
“It’s actually Sword Intent?”
“How old is she?!”
Not only those people, even Zhuang Yusheng felt shocked.
Ning Xiaoxiao’s progress was truly too fast.
Looking at the girl again, her aura was quiet, her eyes chilling to the bone.
Deep within surged immense grief.
She summoned the Jinglan Sword, pinched a spell, and formed a hundred sword shadows, constructing a sword array to protect Lou Yunxiao inside.
Her voice, wrapped in spiritual energy, penetrated the rain curtain, resounding through heaven and earth.
“Whoever dares to touch my Senior Brother.”
“Pass me first!”
Ning Xiaoxiao never had a weak character.
It was just that in front of Ning Ke, she was willing to act coquettishly, willing to rely on her brother.
But now that her brother was gone, she had to force herself to grow up.
Brother liked Eldest Senior Brother, so she would protect Eldest Senior Brother for her brother!
The Sword Sect disciples stood separately beside Ning Xiaoxiao, forming a sword array.
Shouting: “Senior Brother A-Ke once said he would always believe in Eldest Senior Brother, so we believe too!”
“Our Sword Sect’s household doesn’t need you people to clean it up!”
Zhuang Yusheng looked at this group of Sword Sect disciples, admiration rising in his heart.
Lowering his eyes, his gaze fell on Lou Yunxiao.
He saw that the person who looked dazed before now had a faint light in his eyes.
Then, he slowly stood up.
Only when standing, he stumbled and half-knelt on the ground, but he didn’t jolt the person in his arms in the slightest.
Zhuang Yusheng wanted to say something, extended his hand, but withdrew it, ultimately saying nothing.
He watched Lou Yunxiao walk from behind the Sword Sect disciples to the front, shielding Ning Xiaoxiao behind him.
His gaze fell on the disciple whom he had injured before.
That person’s face was glowing with health; he must have recovered well.
At this moment, he was glaring furiously at Lou Yunxiao, wishing he could kill him.
Lou Yunxiao’s gaze was indifferent.
He calmly stated.
“I was possessed by a Demon, and I indeed stabbed you once.”
“So, I will return a stab to you.”
He shouted aloud: “Blue Silver!”
The Blue Silver Sword cried mournfully, but finally cut through the air, stabbing into Lou Yunxiao’s chest from behind.
It didn’t hit a vital point, but it was extremely severe.
As the sword fell, blood spilled from the corner of Lou Yunxiao’s lips.
Yet he felt that this pain couldn’t compare to the pain Ning Ke felt from his injuries.
Even less compared to the heartache of losing A-Ke.
The disciples stared blankly at this scene.
That injured disciple was also full of shock.
“This sword strike, returned to you.”
Lou Yunxiao stood straight.
Continuing to speak: “My Junior Brother, in order to save me, exhausted his life to draw the inscription with blood, reinforcing the Great Demon’s seal, and died at the hands of the Great Demon himself.”
“I must live to repay his grace.”
“If you hate me, want to clean up the Demon Head for the Human Race, want to clean up the sect for the Sword Sect, then come ahead.”
“At that time, life and death are up to fate; I absolutely will not hold back.”
Living had always been more painful than death.
Especially for people carrying heavy burdens and hatred.
Lou Yunxiao was like this.
But having walked this far, he had received the grace of too many people.
Even if it was painful, he should strive to survive with all his might.
The rain gradually stopped, and sunlight spilled through the clouds.
Those disciples were all suppressed by Lou Yunxiao’s aura and words.
Speechless for a long time.
After all, they asked themselves if they were made to stab themselves with a sword, they couldn’t do it.
What’s more, they weren’t fools; they could see that Lou Yunxiao’s current strength was unfathomable.
If they really went to challenge him, that would be rushing to their deaths.
“Senior Brother, your wound…” Ning Xiaoxiao couldn’t help speaking.
But Lou Yunxiao shook his head and said, “I’m fine.”
He held Ning Ke and walked to a sunny spot.
Golden sunlight sprinkled on their faces and bodies.
As if plated with a layer of faint halo.
Lou Yunxiao lowered his head, pressing his cheek against Ning Ke’s pale face, feeling the temperature of the other’s cheek rise slightly compared to when in the cold rain.
He pursed his lips.
Teardrops rolled down.
Wetting the sides of both their faces.
Ning Xiaoxiao chased after them, but only saw Lou Yunxiao turn around, his voice drifting over.
“Junior Sister, let’s go.”
“Let’s take Junior Brother home together.”
