Returnee in Jianghu - C57

“Senior Brother, will the people in the water prison punish Eldest Brother?” Xu Miao stared at Luo Ling and said, “The book says that the water prison is filled with bugs and it still stinks.”

“That’s impossible! The Sect Leader Martial Uncle is such a spoilt senior brother, how could he lock him up in the water prison for the sake of such a lousy cultivation technique?” Luo Ling scratched his head in annoyance.

“But didn’t Senior Brother go to the water prison to ask?” Xu Miao jumped off the bed and grabbed Luo Ling’s clothes. “Let’s not care about that. First, let’s rescue senior brother. He must have suffered a lot.”

“But …” If he was able to save the eldest senior brother, the eldest senior brother would not be the eldest senior brother. ” Luo Ling asked hesitantly.

Luo Ling admitted that he did not understand the ways of the world, but he still understood the consequences of saving his senior brother.

The Eldest Senior Brother was locked up by the Sect Leader and Martial Uncle, if the Master couldn’t stop the Eldest Senior Brother from doing so, then it would mean that the Eldest Senior Brother couldn’t stay in the Cloud Sky Sect anymore.

“But, Senior Brother, didn’t you hear the sound of the water prison coming out when we went to ask around at the entrance of the water prison?” Xu Miao frowned.

Luo Ling gritted his teeth and finally made his decision.

“Speaking of which, what happened to that scream in the prison this morning?” A disciple asked the disciple beside him while he was cleaning up.

“Who knows?” Another disciple shook his head. “Don’t worry about that. It’s none of our business. Hurry up and clean up.”

The two disciples didn’t continue chatting and quickly cleaned up the mess. Soon, the water prison returned to its tranquil state.

In the water, Tang Ming quietly raised his head, his face deathly pale.

The water in the water prison was mixed with a special medicine, which would directly prevent the prisoner from operating his strength.

Tang Ming, who couldn’t use his inner strength, almost couldn’t hold himself in the ice-cold water.

“Crack —”

The door opened and the silver moonlight scattered on the ground, shining on half of Tang Ming’s face.

“Master …”

When Xu Miao saw Tang Ming, she was so excited that she wanted to run over and call him, but Luo Ling held her mouth.

“Wuu wuu…”

Xu Miao stared at Luo Ling, and Luo Ling whispered to Xu Miao, “Don’t let the water prison disciples notice it, okay? “Miao Miao.”

Xu Miao nodded.

“Senior brother, wait a moment, I’ll pull you up right now.” Luo Ling put down Xu Miao and finally arrived at the wooden pillar that held Tang Ming. He pulled Tang Ming’s chains and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

When was he struck with a dumb acupoint?

Tang Ming knew that even if his inner force was sealed, ordinary disciples would not be able to seal his mute acupoint.

The only people in the Cloud Sky Sect that could do this were the people from the Elders Guild, and … Master!

With great effort, Luo Ling finally managed to pull Tang Ming up. Xu Miao brought over a dry shirt and towel.

“Senior Brother, are you alright? Come here.” Luo Ling hurriedly helped Tang Ming clean his body, then used some dry clothes to wrap Luo Ling up, “Senior Brother, I’ll send you down the mountain right now.”

Tang Ming opened his mouth and gave up in the end.

“Miao Miao, you have to hold Master for tonight and tomorrow.” Luo Ling didn’t even notice Tang Ming’s expression as he said, “Anyway, I often sneak down the mountain. I’m familiar with the way down the mountain, so Master doesn’t care.”

Xu Miao nodded. “But where should we place our senior martial brother?”

“Before I entered the sect, my father was a rich man. When I entered the sect, my father bought me a house under the Cloud Sky Sect.” Luo Ling carried Tang Ming on his back and said, “I used to live here often when I couldn’t make it back. The servants have been cleaning the room.”

Xu Miao nodded her head in a daze. Luo Ling touched Xu Miao and said, “Junior Sister, hurry back to your room. Don’t let Master find out about this.”

Xu Miao beamed with joy and nodded seriously.

Luo Ling turned around and looked at Tang Ming, “Senior Brother, don’t worry. I’ve arranged everything.”

Is everything settled?

Most likely, Tang Ming hadn’t been pointed at and could now list the flaws in Luo Ling’s plan.

Disciples normally wouldn’t gossip too much. If Master really didn’t want Junior Brother to know that he was locked up in the water prison, even if Junior Brother were to pass a year, he still wouldn’t know that he was locked up in the water prison.

As for the layout of the water prison, it had always been arranged by Tang Ming. As for how strong the water prison’s defenses were, even Tang Ming could not guarantee that he would be able to sneak into the water prison when he was at his peak, not to mention that Luo Ling had a seedling with him.

In the end, Luo Ling did not know, but he did. Luo Ling did not go down the mountain once because of the tacit approval of his martial uncle. The defense of the Cloud Sky Sect was not weak enough to allow a disciple to freely enter or leave.

The only explanation would be that Master and Uncle-Master had invented a play and asked the Junior Brother to save them.

Indeed, just as Tang Ming had expected, Luo Ling carried him on his back down the mountain without any obstacles.

After about half an hour, Luo Ling finally arrived at the small house at the foot of the mountain and knocked on the door. Not long after, the old butler opened the door and saw Luo Ling and a miserable Tang Ming.

“Cut the crap, hurry up and arrange a room for me.” Luo Ling strode into the house.

“Alright, alright.” The old butler had worked at the Luo family for 40 years and quickly reacted.

“Junior apprentice-brother …” Tang Ming opened his mouth, but found that he could now speak.

“Senior Brother, I know you’re very sad right now. If you don’t want to say anything, then don’t.” Luo Ling carried Tang Ming to a warm room and said, “I’ve already had someone prepare hot water. Wait a moment.”

Tang Ming was silent for a moment. Finally, he did not speak. Instead, he looked through the window at the numerous peaks of the Cloud Sky Sect that still stood tall.

“Junior brother, from now on, Cloud Sky Sect will trouble you. Don’t lose Junior Sister, don’t be careless, and don’t make Junior Martial Uncle worry.” Just as Luo Ling was about to leave, Tang Ming suddenly opened his mouth and said with bitterness in his eyes, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to the Cloud Sky Sect.”

Luo Ling turned his head and saw Tang Ming’s pale face. With a forced smile, he asked, “Senior Brother, what are you talking about? I … I’m going back first.”

Tang Ming did not look at Luo Ling who had just left. He knew what Luo Ling would face in the future.

As the number one sect in the world, the Cloud Sky Sect had people who admired and spied on them. Tang Ming had been by Gu Han’s side ever since he was a child, so naturally he could see all sorts of faces in the martial world.

At this moment, in the grand hall of the Cloud Sky Sect, Chu Junran opened his eyes, “You’re down?”

Gu Han looked at Chu Junran with a complicated expression. He lowered his eyes and replied, “Yes, we shall follow Senior Brother’s instructions. Just as Senior Brother has predicted.”

“I’ve already written to Laughing Spring. In two days, he will come over, right? Tomorrow, I’ll pick him up.” Chu Junran thought about how Tang Ming was about to lose control of his body too. He sighed and said nothing more.
