The Journey of Flower Volume 2 Chapter 10

The man insisted he was Yun Yin, but Hua Qian Gu did not believe him. She tried to think who he could be and guessed he was Yun Yi. The man laughed coldly and ridiculed Hua Qian Gu for having a quick mind befitting of a sect leader.

Because of what Mount Mao had suffered, mystical traps were set up on the mountain so outsiders cannot easily go into the Main Hall, but the imposter moved around without any problems as if he had inside knowledge. Also, there were spells that prevented outsiders from using incantations so the imposter could not possibly morph to look like Yun Yin. Hence, Hua Qian Gu concluded he had to be Yun Yi, the disciple who betrayed Mount Mao.

Apparently, Yun Yin and Yun Yi were identical twins, with Yun Yin being older by two seconds. Their family tradition only valued the eldest son so Yun Yin received all the attention and love while Yun Yi was demoted to the status of a servant. From the time they were little, Yun Yi had to be his elder brother’s shadow and the purpose of his existence was to protect Yun Yin, even at the risk of Yun Yi’s own life. Yun Yi even had to become a disciple at Mount Mao because Yun Yin wanted to study here. For some reason, if Yun Yin felt pain, Yun Yi would also feel the same pain only twice as worse. Because of this, Yun Yi did not dare to harm his elder brother. Yun Yi always wore a mask so no one knew what he looked like, including Taoist priest Qing Xu and Yun Yin.

Hua Qian Gu had seen through his pretense so Yun Yi dropped the polite act. He bit a finger and slowly pulled out a thin stream of blood, which turned into a crimson rope. The Emotionless sword shook and flew out of its scabbard. Hua Qian Gu tried to fight back but quickly realized she was no match so she tried to run away. Yun Yin pulled out more crimson ropes from his other fingers. The crimson ropes followed Hua Qian Gu and wrapped around her until she could no longer move.

Hua Qian Gu could not breath anymore, her mind spinning rapidly to think of how to fight back, when she was anxious, the crimson ropes suddenly was cut by something into pieces, falling to the ground and turned into a pool of blood.

Yun Yi was alarmed, his first reaction was to put on his mask. He assumed Yun Yin and rescuers were coming, he looked around, someone in a purple robe stood on a tree branch in the distance. As the person flew nearer and the face came into focus, Yun Yi and Hua Qian Gu were stunned. It was a face from the heavens, a beauty that transcended the realms, an indescribable beauty.

The streaming purple hair floated in the wind, the purple robe drifted like in a dream. The white skin was translucent under the sunlight, the curves of the collarbones a bit exposed. Between the eyebrows was a crimson mark like a blooming flower, the red eyes were bright and innocent, a sky full of stars would even be eclipsed.

“Ah, so it’s Yun Yi, it seems I’m late again?” Hua Qian Gu looked at the newcomer, forgetting the danger she was in. She could not believe the person’s voice sounded so soothing, she thought Zun Shang had the best voice until now.

Yun Yi frowned, silently cursing this jerk Sha Qian Mo for purposely showing up to steal her, he snorted coldly, then retreated quietly.

Hua Qian Gu sat on the ground, watching as the person floated gently down from the trees, even the steps were light, the waist willowy, the purple robe danced in the wind, each movement was seductive, almost hypnotic.

“You’re the kiddo who’s the new sect leader of Mount Mao?”

Sha Qian Mo looked down at her, saw that the buns on her head were cute so reached out to poke at them.

“Don’t worry, get up, I already scared off the bad guy.” Sha Qian Mo was surrounded in a sandalwood fragrance, he smiled gently, his breath like orchids, his teeth like jades.

“Jiejie, you’re so pretty, but your chest is a bit small.” Hua Qian Gu innocently looked at “jiejie” as she spoke.

“Nonsense!” Sha Qian Mo rolled his red eyes, tapped at Hua Qian Gu, covered his smile as if pouting, his action irresistibly charming. Hua Qian Gu tried to prevent her nose from bleeding.

“Am I really pretty? How pretty?”

“Even more than deities.”

“Really?” Sha Qian Mo exclaimed happily, “What deities have you seen?”

“I’ve seen Chang’e, Qi Xian Nu, Bei Hai Long Wang, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, but they’re not half as pretty as you!” Hua Qian Gu reluctantly turned her head to look at “jiejie,” vowing earnestly.

Sha Qian Mo was extremely proud, what he liked most was hearing others praising his looks, but no one ever made him so gleeful through flattery like Hua Qian Gu.

“I can’t believe you’ve such a sweet mouth.” Sha Qian Mo squeezed her small face, not bothering to correct her that he was a man. “Jiejie” can be “jiejie,” this sounded pleasing, no one had ever dared calling him this, haha.

“Thanks for saving me!” Hua Qian Gu bowed to Sha Qian Mo. She had only been sect leader for a day and was almost captured by someone else, Yun Yin was probably very worried by now! She must return quickly!

But what was the background of this jiejie? So powerful that being here was enough to scare away Yun Yi?

“Can I ask what’s your name?”

“I’m called Sha Qian Mo, you’re Hua Qian Gu, right? Last year, you forced your way into the Qun Xian feast, causing chaos so it had to stop halfway through, right? You’re the new sect leader of Mount Mao?”

The name Sha Qian Mo sounded familiar, Hua Qian Gu bit her hands and thought for a long time, suddenly remembering at the Qun Xian feast, the Jade Emperor had ordered to capture someone, it seemed the name was Liu Huo Fei Tong Sha Qian Mo.

Hua Qian Gu stared, the appearance and demeanor made her think of a deity, who could imagine the person was a demon? Was the demon here to capture her like Yun Yi? She had jumped from the frying pan into the fire!

Sha Qian Mo smiled at her, his eyes curved exquisitely like a crescent moon: “Oh, you know who I am, right? I’m from the demon realm, are you afraid of me?”

Hua Qian Gu almost fainted from his alluring smile, feeling as if her body and soul were hypnotized by his red eyes. However, jiejie seemed pleasant and smelled nice, not demonic or murderous, if she had not heard the name before, it would be difficult to say this was an evil demon based on appearance, can evil demons look so ethereal? Well, if she had to die, she might as well die in the hands of a beautiful jiejie rather than from the gruesome crimson ropes of Yun Yi!

Hua Qian Gu scratched her head, answering honestly: “I’m not afraid of you, where do you want to take me?”

Sha Qian Mo’s eyes flashed: “Have you heard of my reputation? Are you really not scared?”

“You don’t look evil, you’re very gentle.”

Sha Qian Mo sighed: “No one in this world has ever said they’re not afraid of me, that I’m gentle.”

His white hand reached out to hold Hua Qian Gu’s hand, he whispered: “The Demon God will be resurrected, the demon realm will be divided, my strength is limited, it’s difficult for me to control everything. I was late before, which is why Chun Qiu Bu Bai was able to destroy Mount Mao. Taoist priest Qing Xu saved my life once, but I could not save him. He chose you as successor, I’ll protect you, I won’t let Yun Yi harm you, don’t worry.”

Hua Qian Gu allowed him to hold her hand, nodding in innocence.

“You believe me?”

“I believe you.”

Sha Qian Mo delightfully embraced her, this kid was so easy to trick, how can she believe a stranger? Haha, fortunately he had a good heart, he was the most beautiful out of the ones with good hearts, he had the best heart out of the ones who were beautiful.
