Chapter 1131: Xiaowan on the Mountaintop
At this moment, Lin Wushuang realized that Chen Tianlong had arrived just in time, but suddenly noticed the "woo woo woo" sound nearby, and Lin Wushuang immediately thought of Mo Xiaowan, while Chen Tianlong subconsciously looked over.
Instantly, stars appeared in their eyes; a moment ago, they had looked from a distance and hadn’t felt anything, but now up close, after glancing over, Chen Tianlong felt a sudden rush in his nose, almost causing a nosebleed.
Lin Wushuang noticed Chen Tianlong’s small gesture and immediately reminded him, "Ahem, ahem, Chen Tianlong, where are you looking?"
At this moment, Chen Tianlong realized Lin Wushuang was glaring at him, quickly retracted his gaze, and awkwardly said, "Mistake, mistake."
"Hmph, men are all like this, ogling at the sight of beauty."
Lin Wushuang scolded without much warmth, but deep down felt differently, wondering if she appeared like this before him in the future, would Chen Tianlong like it?
Thinking about it, her face started to blush. At this moment, Lin Wushuang couldn’t care much, directly untied Mo Xiaowan’s hands and feet, then took off a thin jacket and draped it over Mo Xiaowan.
Chen Tianlong turned around and discovered Mo Xiaowan’s clothes were in the nearby bushes. He got up and walked over, picked them up, and handed them back to Lin Wushuang with his back turned.
"These should be Mo Xiaowan’s clothes. Hurry up and dress her."
Lin Wushuang looked at Chen Tianlong’s appearance and found it amusing; you looked, and now she’s dressed.
But in such matters, she was too embarrassed to speak.
In a short while, with Lin Wushuang’s help, Mo Xiaowan had already put her clothes on. Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong also sorted out the nearby Xiao He, preventing any odd appearances from being noticed.
On the mountainside.
Cheng Qianjin, Master Mie Wo, and others slowly searched their way up the mountain. Suddenly, a thrown dart flew by, and Cheng Qianjin hurriedly caught it, focusing in on a piece of small paper.
"Sect Leader Cheng, Master Mie Wo, if you want to know where your disciples are, quickly head to the mountain top; if you’re late, you’ll miss the good show." The note had only this sentence.
After reading, Cheng Qianjin handed it to Mie Wo, who glared at Cheng Qianjin and said, "I told you, certainly your disciple abducted my Mo Xiaowan, plotting something wrong."
"Calm down, clearly someone is arranging things deliberately; otherwise, how could anyone even know our disciples are on the mountain top on such a night?" Cheng Qianjin said calmly.
"Regardless, if anything happens to my disciple, I won’t let it go."
Master Mie Wo spoke somewhat petulantly.
Cheng Qianjin was a bit speechless and reluctantly rushed to the mountain top, feeling somewhat anxious, fearing they might indeed see something they shouldn’t.
About half an hour later, they slowly reached the mountain top. By now, the horizon began to lighten; judging by the time, dawn was near.
As Cheng Qianjin reached the top, a group of people followed behind him; he saw Thunder Wolf leading a large number of disciples from the Qilin Tribe.
"Sect Leader Cheng, I heard your disciple Xiao He abducted Master Mie Wo’s female disciple Mo Xiaowan?" Thunder Wolf deliberately asked as soon as they met.
"Who did you hear that from? It sounds disgusting." Cheng Qianjin heard Thunder Wolf’s bluntness and was a bit annoyed.
"Haha, who said it doesn’t matter; the facts are right in front of you."
Thunder Wolf finally seized the opportunity to retaliate against Cheng Qianjin. Last time, Cheng Qianjin helped Chen Tianlong, causing their family such trouble.
"Hmph, nonsense. If you have no evidence, don’t recklessly slander and smear my disciple."
Evidently, Cheng Qianjin was provoked; such slander before so many martial arts people tarnished the reputation of the Five Elements Sect.
"Haha, whether it’s nonsense or not, it will be clear once we reach the top."
Thunder Wolf seemed quite confident.
With that, a group of people proceeded grandly to the mountain top. This place was beautiful, filled with forest, and there were many big trees. In the middle of the woods was an open clearing.
Soon, everyone reached this clearing. It was very close to the tree where Mo Xiaowan was just abducted. At this time, Chen Tianlong, with Lin Wushuang, Mo Xiaowan, and the dazed Xiao He, were hiding behind a big stone.
At this time, Hao Kan looked around, felt something was wrong. Earlier when leaving, the people were tied here, and the man was already drugged, how could they escape?
The most frustrated was Thunder Wolf, who had planned meticulously with Hao Kan, and now everything was lost.
He signaled to Hao Kan, who shrugged, indicating he was unaware of the situation.
Just then, Xiao He suddenly woke up and was startled by the three people beside him, letting out an "ah," which Thunder Wolf, who was closely observing the surroundings, heard.
"Who’s there?"
Hearing this, he became very excited. The plan had finally turned around, and he signaled to Hao Kan beside him.
Hao Kan now reacted, leading people to surround them, and just arrived beside the rock, Chen Tianlong suddenly jumped out, stretched lazily, and said with a smile, "Sorry everyone, we came too early, couldn’t help but nap for a bit."
At that moment, Lin Wushuang also reacted, hurriedly and slightly awkwardly walked out, grinning wryly, "Yes, it’s early for everyone."
"Hmph, early or not, I say you kid, coming here in the morning to sleep, isn’t it suspicious to everyone?"
Thunder Wolf inquired.
"Yes, indeed, I think Xiao He and Mo Xiaowan must have been abducted by him, crying thief himself," Hao Kan added fuel to the fire at this moment.
"We’ve mentioned it; we searched for Xiao He last night, ended up here along the way," Chen Tianlong said casually.
"Chen Tianlong, have you seen my Mo Xiaowan?"
Master Mie Wo hadn’t seen Mo Xiaowan yet and was very worried.
"Haha, doesn’t seem like it."
"You’re lying; Mo Xiaowan must be hidden by him."
Hao Kan knew they must be nearby. The path they came was the only way down the mountain; those two couldn’t have vanished.
"Oh? Mr. Hao, are you so sure?"
Chen Tianlong suspiciously responded.
He knew there must be a conspiracy among these people; now it seemed likely to involve Hao Kan.
But Chen Tianlong thought according to such a short period, to bring two people to the top of the mountain must involve more than one person; thus, to fish out accomplices, Chen Tianlong decided to wait and see.
"Hmph, sure or not, it will be clear once we check behind that rock."
At this moment, Thunder Wolf spoke.
Chen Tianlong truly did not expect the accomplice was Thunder Wolf; however, thinking it over, it made sense. Thunder Wolf’s father was severely injured; they absolutely needed the Great Rejuvenation Pill, and this trial offered such a reward.
The Great Rejuvenation Pill was scarcely available on the market, very hard to buy, so this was an opportunity. According to past trial experiences, there would be a stage where everyone competed for medicinal materials.
Thus, ultimately threatened were, of course, Emei Sect’s Master Mie Wo, and Five Elements Sect’s Cheng Qianjin.
After all, Master Mie Wo was a seven-star Celestial Dao figure; they belonged to the seven-star regional sects, like Shaolin and Wudang, independently existing, not within the eight major sects’ scope, but their strength wasn’t to be underestimated.
Thinking this, Chen Tianlong felt his thinking was mostly aligned.
"Everyone, search thoroughly behind the rock. If this kid really hid them, we won’t spare him." Thunder Wolf commanded.
"Wait, what if you don’t find anything? How do we account for your slander against me?"
Chen Tianlong calmly spoke to Thunder Wolf.
