Chapter 16: Resentment

"It was them?" He Wude's surprised voice came into He Yiming's ears.

He Yiming's heart moved slightly and immediately asked, "Grandpa, do you know their identities?"

"The two of them are disciples of Lingyao Peak, a generation shorter than me." He Wude hesitated for a moment and said, "Their father is an old friend of mine."

He Yiming's eyes flashed with light and said, "Grandpa, you think they are friends, but they don't necessarily regard you as friends."

He Wude wanted to speak but stopped, as if he was remembering his memories. More than 40 years ago, when he was expelled from the sect, there were really few people who really cared about him. Although the elders of these two women were also fellow disciples of Lingyao Peak, they definitely had no relationship with He Wujin and did not give him any good looks.

The conversation between the two grandparents and grandchildren was extremely light and they were hiding outside the cave. Although the two women were smart and cautious and cunning, they never thought that He Yiming would have such a magical skill as Shunfenger. They could actually hear their conversation from such a long distance.

After entering the hole, the two women looked at each other. They took out a hat and put it on their heads at the same time. Then, a woman took out a jade bottle from her arms, pulled out the cap, and shook it under Yuan Lixun's nose a few times.

After seeing their actions, He Yiming felt inexplicably relieved, knowing that they did not have much murderous intention, otherwise they would not have dressed up like this, so that Yuan Lixun would not have seen their faces.

The smell in the bottle is obviously hard to compliment, so even in a coma, Yuan Lixun still wrinkled her small and charming nose and then slowly woke up.

He Yiming thought to himself that he is worthy of being a disciple of Lingyao Peak, and even has this kind of advanced drug. However, a acquired master with the tenth level of internal strength actually needs to use this thing when dealing with a young woman with only sixth level of internal strength. This shows how cautious these two women are.

Yuan Lixun opened her eyes, and a confused look flashed in her eyes.

Although she is extremely intelligent, since she followed He Yiming, she has been praised no matter where she comes. Especially on the Lingyao Peak, even a top master with the tenth level of internal strength like He Wujin, she dared not put on the airs of an elder in front of her.

So for a moment, she could not associate her coma with being hijacked.

However, when she finally woke up completely, her big, smart eyes took all the surrounding environment into her eyes, and she immediately understood a little. At the same time, a hint of horror flashed in her eyes.

After all, she is just a girl. Although she has a strong backer like He Yiming, she is naturally panicked when she suddenly becomes trapped in such an environment.

"Little girl, you are very smart and have saved me some quarrels."

An old man's voice came from one of the women wearing a hat. The robes on both of them were thick and wide, and the hats that covered their heads and faces completely covered their identities. If He Yiming and the others had known their identities for a long time, then after hearing this, they would probably have misunderstood them.

Yuan Lixun forced a smile on her face and said, "Senior, I have never known you. Have you recognized the wrong person?"

Although she knew that the possibility was slim, at this time, she seemed to have no choice but to delay time.

"Hmph, I will not recognize the wrong person." The old voice continued: "We hijacked you here to ask you something. If you say it readily, we can naturally let you go."

Yuan Lixun was slightly stunned, but there was not much joy in her eyes.

Let’s not talk about how credible this person’s words are. Just talking about this person’s questions will not be so easy to answer.

"I don't know what I have to ask about it. I am an ignorant girl, so I may not be able to satisfy my senior."

The old voice sneered a few times and said, "You haven't listened to my question yet, but you actually answered like this. It's clear that you are ruthless."

Yuan Lixun's face changed a few times, and she lowered her head and said, "I don't dare."

The man was about to speak, but when he saw another person making a gesture, he suddenly realized and said angrily: "What a little guy, he dares to delay time in front of me."

Yuan Lixun complained in his heart, but a look of confusion appeared on his face.

The man snorted coldly and said, "I don't care whether you are pretending to be stupid or not. As long as you know, if you want to survive, then just tell me honestly. Where did He Yiming hide that innate golden elixir?"

He Yiming's grandparents and grandsons and Yuan Lixun inside and outside the cave immediately understood that all this was a crime of possessing a treasure. He Yiming even more understood that they must have searched several rooms while they were away from him and Yuan Lixun. But in the end they got nothing, so they hit Yuan Lixun's thoughts.

He Yiming's eyebrows moved slightly and he had already stood up. Since he knew the intentions of these two women, there was no need to listen anymore.

However, at this moment, He Wude reached out and pulled him to stop his next move.

He looked over suspiciously and heard the old man whisper: "Look at how Rikun answered."

He Yiming frowned slightly and said, "Grandpa, why do you do this?"

He Wude looked at him deeply and said, "I want to see if she can be the daughter-in-law of the He family and deserves you."

He Yiming was slightly stunned for a moment, then showed a firm smile and said slowly: "Grandpa, I can trust her."

In the cave, the man suddenly emitted a strong and creepy murderous aura. The moment when the master of the ten-level internal strength released all his momentum, it was far from a little woman with the sixth level of internal strength that could resist.

"I know He Yiming is refining elixirs and will be back soon, so you don't have to think about delaying time." The man's voice was cold like ice: "Either you or us, there is only one chance. You have to think clearly. If we can't get things up, then I promise, you will regret why you have to be born as a daughter."

Yuan Lixun's face could no longer help but change, and there was even a little more despair in her eyes.

The man's increasingly cold voice continued to ring, saying, "Don't tell me that he will carry this pill with him. If your answer is this, then you should be able to imagine your own fate."

Yuan Lixun's lips trembled, and she said tremblingly: "I, I am just an insignificant concubine of him. How can you know the whereabouts of the innate golden elixir? You are really looking for the wrong person."

The man laughed and said, "There is the last quarter of an hour left. If this time is over, then even if you tell the truth, we will not go up again." Her voice gradually turned cold, and she said, "We are not willing to face a congenital strong man."

Yuan Lixun finally bit her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me that after you know the news, you must let me go."

The man's voice immediately turned soft and said, "Don't worry, we have no intention of seeking your life. As long as the golden elixir is obtained, we will ensure that you are unharmed."

Outside the cave, a sharp cold light flashed in He Wude's eyes.

Yuan Lixun took a deep breath and said, "The young master has sent the golden elixir to the old master, probably it should be on the old master."

He Yiming and He Wude were both stunned. They both looked at each other and showed a hint of laughter and crying.

Yuan Lixun was also smart. He saw that since these two people did not dare to meet He Yiming, they must not be innate powerhouses. Since that was the case, they pushed the whereabouts of Jindan to He Wude.

Although He Wude is not a congenital strongman, he is at the peak of the tenth level of internal strength and is second only to the innate cultivator. No matter how capable the two women are, it is not so easy to make He Wude. Once He Yiming and the others find out that Yuan Lixun is missing, they will definitely be vigilant. It is basically unlikely that they will plot against He Wude.

Inside the cave, the two women looked at each other. They lived on the Lingyao Peak, so they naturally knew the relationship between He Yiming's grandparents and grandchildren. At this moment, this sentence is indeed credible. However, for them, there is no big difference between this golden elixir on He Yiming or He Wude.

He snorted angrily, and the man said gloomyly: "So, we can't get the golden elixir."

Yuan Lixun's body trembled. She had already heard the meaning, but she said, "Although Mr. He is holding a golden elixir, he may not put it on his body. Moreover, he likes to walk around. If you rush there now, you may be able to find the golden elixir in his room."

The man suddenly became silent, and Yuan Lixun's proposal really made her very moved.

However, at this moment, another woman sighed and said, "Second sister, don't ask." After that, she took off her hat and revealed her true face.

The woman who used the oral skills was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and took off her hat.

Yuan Lixun's face became increasingly ugly. If these two people didn't take off their hats, she would still have a glimmer of hope. But what these two people did at this moment clearly meant to take her life.

At this point, Yuan Lixun could no longer help but feel panic in her eyes.

"Little girl, do you want to know who we are?"

Yuan Lixun reluctantly pulled the skin on her face and said, "Do I have any choice?"

The woman with ten-layer internal strength smiled slightly and said, "Old body Gu Qiying, this is the old body's sworn sister Bei Youhui."

Yuan Lixun nodded to them, but she had countless thoughts in her heart, but she couldn't figure out how to get out of the situation without racking her brains.

"Sister, we can actually try our luck." Bei Youhui sighed lightly, with a hint of regret in her voice. After revealing her true face and telling her real name, she also understood that this smart and cute little girl could not be kept.

Gu Qiying's face was still full of smiles, but her eyes were cold: "Second sister, do you think she was telling the truth?"

Bei Youhui was slightly stunned and said, "Did you see the flaw?"

"No." Gu Qiying said coldly: "I don't know if what this little girl said is true, but no matter what, we can no longer obtain the innate golden elixir."

Bei Youhui wanted to speak but stopped, obviously because she was unwilling to accept it.

Gu Qiying's face darkened and said, "Second sister, He Yiming is a congenital strong man. Such a person is too powerful. As long as there are clues that fall into his eyes, we can't hide it anymore." She looked up at the hole and said, "According to the past rules, even if He Yiming has not finished his alchemy, it's almost done. We can't take risks, not at all."

Only then did Bei Youhui sigh in disappointment, and finally remained silent.

Gu Qiying turned around, and a trace of ferocious look appeared on her originally harmonious face, and she said, "Little girl, I don't care whether you are false or not, but I can't get the innate golden elixir and I am very angry, so I have to vent my anger on you."

When Yuan Lixun touched the eyes of this person, she immediately felt creepy, and she felt completely desperate.

In the past, we could have used the greed of these two people to seek a last chance to survive, but we didn't expect that this person was so cautious and refused to take any danger.

She closed her eyes and her breathing suddenly became rapid. Her heartbeats were like thunder, and she would never be willing to die here.

Gu Qiying sneered, she raised her hand and said, "Since you can't satisfy us, then we can't break our promise. The second sister once said that you want to make you regret being born as a daughter..."

Yuan Lixun's heart trembled, and even her body began to tremble due to excessive fear.

Gu Qiying's laughter gradually became sharper. When it came to people's ears, it was like two pieces of glass constantly rubbing, making huge noises.

However, at this moment, a clear voice cut through the void and calmly entered everyone's ears.

"I think you should ask for blessings."

Gu Qiying's laughter suddenly stopped, and her eyes immediately showed a look of a ghost. Then she reacted and immediately reached out to grab Yuan Lixun, who had no resistance.

However, when her eyes were blurred, Yuan Lixun disappeared in front of her, and a living person disappeared inexplicably.

In an instant, Gu Qiying and the others felt a bone-broken cold air rushing forward, almost frozen them.

Gu Qiying suddenly hissed: "Second sister, run quickly."

Bei Youhui turned around without thinking and ran towards the entrance of the cave, but Gu Qiying followed closely. Seeing that Bei Youhui ran out of the entrance of the cave, no one stopped him. Outside the entrance of the cave, she paused and immediately walked on another path. She hunched over and minimized the possibility of exposure, and embarked on the opposite path to the Bei Youhui who was running desperately.

At this point, Gu Qiying felt a little relieved. She knew that this happened and there would be no longer a foothold on Hengshan Mountain. So he simply wanted to get back to the mountain, thank God for his wish to escape smoothly.

However, she had just had this idea and her steps stopped.

In front of her, a young man carried his hands on his back, as if he had been waiting here for thousands of years.

Behind the young man, Yuan Lixun, who had resumed his actions, looked at her silently. However, unlike before, there was no fear in Yuan Lixun's eyes, and there was not much resentment when he looked at her, but there was only an indescribable pity.

It was just a moment, and the two of them had changed their roles.

Gu Qiying's face was ashes, and she subconsciously turned her head to look.
