Chapter 995: Monster Hunt (33)
Gu Jin bowed to Xuan Yi and said, "Thank you, Master Xuan Yi, for showing mercy to Yue Rong."
Yue Rong snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Mr. Gu, what kind of thanks are you giving? It's not your turn to comment on my affairs."
Gu Jin opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.
Yun Shen and Xuan Yi didn't intend to meddle in the affairs of the young couple. Just as they were about to leave the fox cave, the old Taoist suddenly rushed in with a whisk.
"Gu Jin, you are indeed connected with the fox demon!"
Gu Jin hurriedly blocked Yue Rong behind him and said, "Master Li, Yue Rong didn't harm anyone, please let him go."
The old Taoist priest was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You... are stubborn and unrepentant!"
Gu Jin tilted his head and whispered to Yue Rong behind him, "I'll hold him back, you go quickly."
Yue Rong looked at Gu Jin's profile, and felt a little moved when she thought of Gu Jin's subconscious action of protecting him behind him.
"Gu Jin, you..."
Gu Jin pushed Yue Rong and said, "Let's go now!"
After saying that, Gu Jin faced the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest dodged Gu Jin's attack and said, "Gu Jin, stop pestering me. If you continue to stop me from taking in this fox demon, I will not show mercy."
Gu Jin did not give in at all.
The old Taoist priest was furious. "Well, since you insist on doing this, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The old Taoist priest no longer competed with Gu Jin in martial arts, but directly used magic.
The old Taoist priest's whisk swept through the air and hit Gu Jin in the chest. He fell to the ground and coughed up blood.
Before Gu Jin was about to faint, he used up his last bit of strength to say two words in the direction of Yue Rong.
"Quick... go!"
Gu Jin fainted after he finished speaking.
Yue Rong, who had been stunned by Gu Jin's actions, finally took action. She slowly helped Gu Jin up and said, "Master Li, don't you want to take me in? I can do as you wish, but I only ask you to let Gu Jin go."
The old Taoist put away his whisk, stroked his long gray beard, and agreed: "Okay, if he hadn't insisted on stopping me, I wouldn't have hurt him."
Yue Rong was relieved. "A promise is worth a thousand gold. I hope Master Li will keep his promise."
The old Taoist priest held his head high and said, "I don't kill people."
Yue Rong gently put Gu Jin down and stroked his eyebrows. "Gu Lang, it turns out you didn't betray me. If you had told me your difficulties earlier, why would we have come to this point?"
The old Taoist priest snorted coldly, "It is against the will of heaven for a human and a demon to fall in love!"
Xuan Yi suddenly felt panicky for no apparent reason.
Yun Shen said silently in his heart, what a pedantic old man.
Yue Rong did not argue, she stood up and said calmly: "Master Li, let's do it."
The old Taoist was about to take action but was interrupted by Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi walked out from his hiding place and said, "Master Li, all things have spirits. This fox demon has a very high level of comprehension. Given time, it will surely be able to cultivate and become an immortal. Don't commit more sins by killing it."
Only then did the old Taoist realize that there was someone else in the fox cave.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Xuan Yi bowed to the old Taoist priest and said, "Xuan Yi."
The old Taoist priest was full of surprise, "Wuqing Daozun? Why are you here?"
Xuan Yi said calmly: "It's just an empty title, Master Li, there's no need to use a respectful title."
The old Taoist priest was puzzled and asked: "Master Xuanyi, why did you stop me from taking in this fox demon?"
Xuan Yi had already learned to lie without changing his expression, and he lied fluently, "This fox demon is quite spiritual and has never harmed anyone. Instead of capturing him, it is better to let him continue to practice. If he can practice diligently and become an immortal soon, it will be a merit for me and Taoist Li."
