Chapter 373 Master, there is news about the princess!
Chu Zixi stood there quietly, the breeze blowing gently, blowing a few strands of messy hair on her forehead.
She frowned slightly, twitched the corners of her mouth, and her eyes revealed a bit of helplessness.
She said softly to the strange old man in front of her, whose hair and beard were all white, whose clothes were tattered, but whose eyes were unusually bright, "Um... I don't have a master."
After hearing this, the strange old man grinned, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to dance along with the laughter, forming an extremely vivid and interesting picture. He said with joy: "That's good, that's good, in this way, I, an old man, will be your only master!"
When Chu Zixi heard this, she couldn't help but frown, muttering to herself that this strange old man's behavior was a little weird.
She reached out and touched her rumbling stomach, feeling the protests from her empty intestines.
She took a deep breath. "I'm very hungry now. I just want to find some food to fill my stomach. I don't want to talk about anything else."
After hearing what Chu Zixi said, the strange old man nodded slightly. Then he turned his head and set his eyes on the black-robed man who was standing aside and looked a little embarrassed.
His tone was filled with a kind of authority that could not be refused, and he ordered, "You, quickly go and prepare some food for my good disciple."
The black-robed man was slightly shocked when he heard this, and seemed a little aggrieved, but he still said with gritted teeth: "Senior..."
However, before the man in black robes could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sharp look from the strange old man. The strange old man frowned slightly and said in a cold voice: "What? Any objection?"
The man in black robe felt a tightness in his heart and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak again.
He knew the old man's temper. If he continued to refute him, he would probably annoy him, and he would be the one who suffered.
So, he could only glare at Chu Zixi fiercely, his eyes full of viciousness and unwillingness, then he turned around and left quickly.
Chu Zixi looked at the black-robed man's departing back and snorted coldly.
Chu Zixi asked curiously: "Senior, do you know that black-robed man?"
"Not very familiar with each other. I, an old man, originally wanted to find someone with a destiny to inherit my mantle. At first, that guy was pretty good, and his poison was pretty good, so I wanted to take him in as my apprentice. Well, after seeing some of my methods, he also had the idea of becoming my disciple. However, after meeting you, girl, I, an old man, like you more now." The strange old man said, staring at Chu Zixi with burning eyes.
Chu Zixi was slightly stunned when she heard this. She was standing not far away with her hands gently spread out, looking a little helpless.
"Senior, we can talk about becoming your disciple later. I'm missing now, and the people around me must be worried about me, so I have to go back first." Chu Zixi said softly.
When the strange old man heard this, his eyes narrowed suddenly, "No! You must take me as your master and learn skills from me." His tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
Chu Zixi stared at the strange old man in front of her, "I can take you as my master, but you have to let me go back first, or you can go back with me? That way the people around you won't worry."
The strange old man heard this and said, "No, you must become my disciple right now. Follow me and learn skills. After you have learned it, I will not stop you from going anywhere. But before you have learned it, you can't go anywhere."
Chu Zixi frowned, "Stinky old man, why are you so stubborn? If you come back with me, I can learn it too."
The strange old man just smiled and said, "No, I don't have much time left. You must stay here and learn well."
Seeing that no matter how she persuaded him, she just sighed helplessly and gave up trying to persuade him any further.
She walked aside with a depressed look on her face and sat down on a large, protruding rock, bored.
The sunlight shone through the sparse leaves, dappled onto her body, but it failed to dispel the fatigue and hunger in her heart.
She gently stroked her slightly aching abdomen, her eyes full of helplessness.
"This weird old man is so stubborn!" Chu Zixi couldn't help but complain, "I've said it so many times, but he just won't let me go."
The strange old man was very powerful and she was no match for him at all. She couldn't beat him. Besides, the strange old man just wanted her to stay here to learn poison techniques and had no intention of killing her, so she didn't want to expose the secret of her space.
Chu Zixi sighed, wondering what the situation was like in the military camp. The antidote had been successfully prepared and given to Jun Feimo, so no more soldiers would die from it.
"Jun Feimo..." Chu Zixi whispered the name softly. She wondered if he would be worried if he knew she was missing. He seemed to be anxiously looking for her whereabouts.
It has been a while since she was taken out of the military camp by the strange old man. Jun Feimo must have discovered that she is missing.
Thinking of this, Chu Zixi couldn't help but frown, feeling worried. She really hoped to return to him as soon as possible and tell him that she was safe.
Chu Zixi guessed correctly. Jun Feimo's reaction after learning that she was missing was extremely anxious.
Normally he always had a cold face, as if he kept people at a distance, but at this moment, he became gloomy because he was worried about her safety. His face looked extremely ugly, as if water was about to drip out of it.
The cold aura emanating from his body was like the chilly wind in the coldest months of winter, making people shiver, as if even the air around them was frozen.
Tianyi stood cautiously at the side, with his head lowered, not daring to look into Jun Feimo's eyes that were as deep as a cold pond.
Although he didn't look up, he could already guess how bad his master's mood was just by the chill emanating from his master.
Tianyi took two steps back unconsciously, praying in his heart that he would not get unlucky and become the target of his master's anger.
At this moment, An Yi appeared like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Jun Feimo, knelt on one knee, and said, "Master, there is news about the princess!"
Hearing this, Jun Feimo's eyes lit up slightly, and his originally frowned brows relaxed a little. He said lightly: "Speak." Although it was only a short word, his tone was low and powerful, as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth, with an unquestionable majesty.
An Yi did not dare to be negligent and reported immediately: "To the west, there is poison powder on the branches along the road. It should be left by the princess..."
Before An Yi could finish his words, Jun Feimo's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant like a gust of wind, leaving only a trace of afterimage and a cold breath in the air.
On both sides of the path, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the breeze blew, making the leaves rustle. Jun Feimo rushed westward along the path. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he did not miss any tiny clues.
