Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 132: Resentment

Except for a few words with Monk, Yufan the guardian did not communicate with anyone else. He sat silently in the corner closest to the high priest.

The guardian Yufan is a low-key person. Perhaps people who are good at light skills are good at hiding themselves.

Just when everyone was hesitating, he said he wanted to stay.

Yufan: "Miss Meng and I will stay here. You all can go back."

In terms of strength, Cong Heng has the highest cultivation level, while Yu Fan ranks in the middle among the guardians. If it weren't for the barrier protection, Cong Heng would never agree to Yu Fan's suggestion.

It is safe inside the barrier, but people who leave the barrier will face more dangers.

The place they were in was extremely secretive, and there were formations all around. If there was no one to lead the way, it would be very difficult to return to the villa. In addition, there were often ferocious beasts in the deep mountains and old forests. Although the way back was not far, it was full of dangers.

As the eldest brother, Cong Heng had to protect the others. Cong Heng was cold and arrogant, but he was definitely not a heartless person. These people all worked for Monk, and as long as they were loyal to the high priest, they were all Cong Heng's brothers. Cong Heng would not ignore their lives.

It was a blessing in disguise that these people were able to escape from the dungeon alive. Now that the high priest could not protect them for the time being, Cong Heng, as the left guardian, had no choice but to do so. Even if it cost him his life, he would send them back safely.

Congheng must accept Yufan's proposal.

Cong Heng: "How are you injured?"

Yufan: "It's okay, just some superficial injuries. Don't worry, big brother."

Cong Heng: "Okay, I'll take them back first."

The matter was happily settled.

Meng Xianyu and the guardian Yufan stayed behind.

The two of them are enough to protect the high priest.

Cong Heng led the others back to the villa to report their safety. Their injuries could not be delayed any further.

Cong Heng didn't know whether this was absolutely right or wrong, but he was not a person who hesitated. Cong Heng decided to send these people back, and he immediately brought people over to meet them.

Except for Meng Xianyu, no one else communicated much with the high priest.

They woke up late, and Monk was a little exhausted. Cong Heng wanted to help Monk heal his wounds, but Monk refused.

If Linlang were here, she would definitely be able to arrange things clearly. Congheng was obviously a little overwhelmed.

The several guardians present were all action-oriented, and it was too difficult for them to come up with ideas.

Shanhu secretly told Meng Xianyu a few words, she was afraid that Yufan would say something excessive. Shanhu knew the temper of the guardian Yufan, it was useless to say anything to him. Yufan always rejected outsiders, once he made up his mind, it was difficult to change. Unless he could be beaten into submission.

To put it simply, the guardian Yufan deserves a beating.

So Shanhu had to remind Meng Xianyu not to care about what Yufan said.

Shanhu likes Meng Xianyu very much, even though Meng Xianyu is an outsider.

But Yufan firmly believed that all outsiders had purposes, but some of them concealed them very well.

The guardian Yufan has been following the high priest since he was a child, while Shanhu has only been following the high priest for a short time. Shanhu doesn't know many things, but Yufan knows them.

Without the high priest's order, Yufan would not tell Shanhu some secrets.

Neither Yufan nor Shanhu were wrong. It was just that Yufan was too cautious and showed it too obviously, which made Meng Xianyu feel a little uncomfortable.

The guardian Yufan is prejudiced against Meng Xianyu, and Meng Xianyu also has a grudge against him because of the issue of the real and fake Yufan.

Meng Xianyu listened to Shanhu's advice and decided not to argue with Yufan. She also advised Shanhu to go back and heal her wounds.

Given Shanhu's current physical condition, staying would only cause trouble. If she went back, she might be able to tell Linlang and the others about the situation here.

Amber was seriously injured, and she would definitely not be able to take care of other people after she returned. Congheng was very frugal with his words, and if he didn't speak clearly, Linlang and the others would be even more anxious.

If Shanhu goes back first, she can explain everything to Linlang and the others, and she can also go see Elder Jiayu earlier, thus killing two birds with one stone.

Cong Heng quickly left with the others, and the surroundings became quiet again.

Meng Xianyu sat in the corner watching over Monk.

Monk was seriously injured. If he didn't take it seriously, his foundation would be damaged.

After returning, he may need to retreat to heal his wounds. Even when he comes out, he may not be fully recovered. I am afraid that this injury will have to be healed slowly.

Although the two of them didn't communicate much, Meng Xianyu knew what Monk was worried about.

That's why Meng Xianyu took the initiative to offer to stay and help Monk protect the law.

She knew Wu Na would worry about her, but she was always an outsider.

She didn't belong here, she would have to leave sooner or later, and she was glad to do a few things for her good friend before she left.

She doesn't like to owe too many favors to others.

Elders Monk and Jiayu gave her gifts, in part because she was Wu Na's good friend.

But she was able to have such a great opportunity definitely because of Wu Na.

Meng Xianyu was penniless, and all the clothes she wore were Wu Na's. Even her encounter with Rumeng Guqin was due to Wu Na. Wu Na brought good luck to Meng Xianyu, allowing her to survive in a mysterious and exclusive ancient tribe.

If it weren't for Wu Na's family taking her in, Meng Xianyu might have been driven out long ago.

There wasn't much she could do for Wu Na, and she didn't want to owe Wu Na too much.

Protecting Wu Na's people, guarding Wu Na's father, and bringing Wu Na's parents together, these things can be regarded as Meng Xianyu paying back some interest to Wu Na!

I hope that even if she leaves, their friendship will last forever. I also hope that they can meet again if there is a chance.

Meng Xianyu's dream-into-guqin has the effect of healing, so she wanted to play a song to try it out. But the dream-into-guqin just lay motionless in the corner of the space.

Meng Xianyu remembered very clearly that she was trapped in that strange place before. It was only because of the sound of the dream guqin that she woke up.

It seems that Rumeng Guqin became like this in order to save her. Meng Xianyu didn't know how to help it, nor did she know when it would recover. Meng Xianyu didn't dare to disturb Rumeng, and her consciousness quietly withdrew from the space.

As soon as Meng Xianyu's consciousness left the space, she saw a big face in front of her.

Meng Xianyu subconsciously dodged and the other party also took a step back.

Protector Yufan felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Meng Xianyu had never really looked closely at the appearance of the guardian Yufan, and even if you looked closely, his skin condition was still okay. He just looked ordinary, but his facial features were regular and his appearance was pretty handsome. His skin color seemed a little strange, and Meng Xianyu felt like he had applied something on his face.

However, Yufan retreated too quickly, and Meng Xianyu didn't know if she had seen it wrong.

The guardian Yufan has extremely high Qinggong skills and is elusive. He often hides in the dark and is usually very low-key. His appearance suits him very well.

Meng Xianyu: "What does the guardian mean?"

Yufan: "Ms. Meng deliberately didn't answer Yufan's question."

Yufan's words sounded a bit sarcastic. I don't know if Meng Xianyu was being overly suspicious.

Meng Xianyu: "I was thinking about something just now, so I didn't hear it. What did the guardian want to ask?"

Yufan: "Did you meet anyone in the water dungeon?"

Meng Xianyu: “A lot.”

Meng Xianyu didn't know what Yufan wanted to ask. The two of them were not very familiar with each other and had no friendship. It was definitely impossible for them to chat about daily life. Yufan, the guardian, must be trying to prove something to Meng Xianyu.

Yufan: "Yufan also met some people, but I don't know if they are the same as the ones you met."

Meng Xianyu: "In addition to those people just now, there are also some of the Amber Guardian's men. Those people should be in danger. If the high priest can save them, they should be here."

Yufan: "Only them?"

Meng Xianyu: “Who else?”

Meng Xianyu didn't know Yufan's purpose, so she could only throw the question back.

Yufan: "Miss, have you heard any strange noises?"

Meng Xianyu: "You mean those sounds of crying and laughing?"

With a mixture of crying and laughing, he glossed over those strange noises.

Thinking back now, Meng Xianyu still felt a little scared. But she didn't dare to show panic, for she was afraid that Yufan would be suspicious.

Yufan: "That's right. The young lady heard it too. Didn't she try to find out the truth?"

Meng Xianyu: "I don't know what the guardian wants to ask. I was scared and ran away the first time I heard those strange noises. I'm different from you. I don't know martial arts, let alone cultivation. It's not too late to find out what's going on and run away!"

Yufan: "Girl, you're not even afraid of the water dungeon, so why are you afraid of those scary tricks?"

Meng Xianyu really admires Yufan.

Meng Xianyu: "I'm just a teenage girl. Why can't I be afraid of ghosts? You still want me to kill demons and monsters?"

Yufan didn't expect Meng Xianyu to say that. He didn't know how much of what Meng Xianyu said was true or false. But he couldn't find any flaws, so he could only stop here.

Yufan: "Miss Meng is such an interesting person."

Meng Xianyu: "Thank you for the compliment"

Meng Xianyu really didn't know how Monk chose his protectors. They all looked decent, but their brains were not very good. Did he only look at talent and not character? Or was it that he really couldn't pick out a few good ones?

Meng Xianyu was angry and included Zhuji, Linlang and the others in the blame. Even if it was just a collective punishment, it would be fine!

Some of these guardians are hot and cold, some are weird, and some are suspicious. I don't know how they got together. They are all a bunch of weirdos.

She, Meng Xianyu, went there to help, but ended up being suspected. Good intentions are really not rewarded.

If it weren't for the high priest, Meng Xianyu really wanted to teach this guardian Yufan a lesson.

It’s not the right time now, so Meng Xianyu had to write it down first.

Fortunately, apart from some frictions between her and Yufan and Amber, the other guardians were pretty nice to her.

If all eight of them were targeting her, Meng Xianyu would start to doubt whether there was really something wrong with her.
