Chapter 288 The Master's Appointment

Shan Zimo raised his head confidently with a mysterious smile, "Let's meet the Luohui Sect!" After that, he took Hua Yingxue and Shan Boyu and left Binyue Garden.

After a while, the eldest disciple Hua Yuyan walked in.

"Miss Que, the master invites you to the Qishe Palace!"

Everyone frowned in unison and looked at Hua Yuyan with suspicion.

"Excuse me, is there any problem?" Being stared at with questioning eyes by everyone, Hua Yuyan also became suspicious.

He squinted his eyes and said, "But, your junior sister just came to tell me that your master invited my young master to the back mountain for a gathering. Why are you inviting Miss Qu to the Qishe Palace again?"

Hua Yuyan frowned slightly, with a puzzled look in her eyes. "Miss, please go with me and we will know when we meet the Sect Master!"

Xuanyue nodded, stood up and was about to leave with Hua Yuyan, but was stopped by Dao Sheng behind him.

Dao Sheng held her hand, his eyes revealing anxiety and worry, "Do you want me to go with you?"

Xuanyue looked at her tenderly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Don't worry, sister, I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, he took Zi Ling'er and followed Hua Yuyan towards the Qishe Palace.

"That is to say," others sitting in the lobby stroked their beards as they watched the two people leave one after another, "one of them was deceived."

"Young Master Shan, there is a great possibility that you have been deceived!" Li also imitated what he saw at a glance, stroking the air under his chin in vain.

"Master, is there any danger?" Dao Sheng unconsciously folded his hands over his chest, tapping lightly with his fingertips.

He smiled knowingly at a glance and shook his head, "Believe in Young Master Shan, he is not an ordinary person!"

Shan Zimo followed Hua Yingxue towards the back mountain. The originally elegant scenery was gradually disappearing, and the dissipated mist reappeared near the back mountain.

The mountain behind seems to be in darkness all year round. The trees are tall and twisted, giving off an ominous atmosphere. There is a crooked path leading into the mountain, with broken stone tablets scattered on both sides of the road, covered with moss.

"Looking at this, there should be few people coming to the back mountain!" Shan Zimo didn't care at all. He put his hands behind his head, whistled, and admired the strange scenery of the back mountain.

"Young Master, what are these stone tablets?" Shan Boyu lowered his head and looked at the broken stone tablets scattered on both sides of the path, very curious.

"Yingxue," Shan Zimo said teasingly, "why don't you be our tour guide and introduce her to us?"

Hua Yingxue shuddered at Dan Zimo's sudden call and quickly shook her head, "I have been in the sect for a short time and rarely come to the back mountain, so I don't know much about these things. If the young master and the young master are really interested in them, you might as well go back and ask Senior Sister Yuyan, she knows a lot!"

On the path leading to the unknown, a cold wind blew in his face, and Shan Zimo quickly wrapped himself in his robe. Although he was not afraid of the cold, this was a biting cold air, which carried some resentment from the dead.

As we walked, we came to a point where the only mountain trail branched off into another road!

But this fork in the road is covered with weeds, and it seems that no one has walked here for a long time, but you can still see the broken stone tablets on both sides of the road!

Shan Zimo stood at the intersection and pointed in the direction of the fork in the road, "Where does this lead to?"

Hua Yingxue looked up, and it seemed that she had just noticed for the first time that there was a path here. She shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Shan Zimo was almost so angry that he laughed. He put his hands on his hips and looked gently at this girl who wanted to learn bad things but was kind-hearted. "I really suspect that you are a fake Luohui Sect disciple!"

"Bai Yu," Shan Zimo suddenly stopped, turned around and winked at Shan Bai Yu, "Do you have something to deal with?"

When Shan Boyu heard this, he looked at Shan Zimo's expression and replied in a daze, "I think there is something I haven't dealt with yet!"

"Then don't follow me. How can I get lost in Luohui Sect?" Shan Zimo raised his hand and pretended to touch his nose. He pointed a finger under his nose and pointed in the direction of the path. "You go back. I can go by myself!"

Shan Boyu frowned, indicating that he was unwilling to leave, but he could not stand the threat of Shan Zimo's eyes, so he had to respond, "I will go back right away. Thank you, sister, for taking care of my young master!"

Hua Yingxue shuddered again and nodded sullenly.

Shan Zimo continued to follow Hua Ying up the snowy mountain, while Shan Boyu waited until the two figures disappeared into the darkness in the distance. He looked around and saw no one, so he walked stealthily towards the path.

Hua Yingxue kept her head down and remained silent the whole time, which made Shan Zimo feel very embarrassed, so he would find topics to get her talking whenever he could.

"Your leader is quite young!" Shan Zimo took a few quick steps and walked shoulder to shoulder with Hua Yingxue. The narrow path allowed the two to be very close.

"Our leader has only been in office for three years. The Grand Leader abdicated early due to poor health."

Since the topic was about the Grand Master, Shan Zimo immediately seized the opportunity to continue asking, "Why isn't the Grand Master here? After all, the dagger I just sent over was an agreement between her and my Third Uncle!"

Hua Yingxue shook her head. "I only came here three years ago, so I haven't even seen the Grand Master! I only know that she has been practicing in seclusion and never sees outsiders!"

"You've reached the martial arts master level in just three years?" Shan Zimo suddenly looked at the thin woman in surprise, "You're really amazing!"

Hua Yingxue shook her head and sighed, "I was sold to the flower boat in Cangwu City by my brother that year, and it was the Left Protector who brought me back to the Luohui Sect."

"So what you said yesterday was true?" Shan Zimo was half-believing and half-doubting, looking down at the spirit snake hairpin on Hua Yingxue's bun.

"The master felt sorry for me and accepted me as his disciple. Now, my martial arts skills have just reached the level of a martial arts master." Hua Yingxue felt a little embarrassed when she said this, and even her ears turned red.

Shan Zimo laughed, trying to ease her embarrassment, "This mountain behind doesn't look high, but it will still take some time to walk up it!"

"It's almost there," Hua Yingxue raised her head and stretched her neck to look forward, "In another stick of incense, we'll be at the waterfall at the back mountain."

Shan Zimo snorted coldly, "This waterfall is a standard feature of all major sects!"

Finally, the roar of a waterfall could be heard faintly not far away, sometimes faint, like the murmur of drizzle, sometimes powerful, like thousands of troops galloping.

Behind the twisted branches and leaves is the waterfall pouring down, hitting the hard rocks, splashing countless tiny water droplets, and the formed water mist blends with the mountain fog.

Below the waterfall is a deep pool, with mist rising up to create a mysterious and hazy wonderland.

Behind the fairyland where water mist and fog blended together, Shan Zimo vaguely saw a figure standing behind the waterfall, like an immortal.

"Young Master, next, you swim over by yourself!"
