Chapter 352 Master, How Do You Look at Men?

Chapter 352 Master, how do you look at men...

"Pa...Paduo?"

Hua turned to look at Mikael immediately, but the latter shook his head at her, indicating that he didn't know.

"What happened? No, how did you get up the mountain?"

"Uh...cough cough cough! This is a long story...Okay, okay, let's try to make it short...but with so many people, is it really okay?"

Paduo's eyes swept across the seven disciples and finally stopped at Mikael's face.

"Well, let's talk about it separately."

Mikael nodded, and in the blink of an eye, the figures of the three appeared outside the house.

"Cough cough!"

Paduo took off his hood and lightened his throat heavily.

For every "pioneer", their lives seemed to have stopped at that moment 50,000 years ago, and time would no longer leave any traces on their bodies. But it is limited to the "body", and the wear and tear on consciousness is inevitable - except for Pado, she is the only one who can still live heartlessly after 50,000 years of wear and tear, so that now when talking about serious matters, she needs to pretend to be serious.

However, even if her expression can be forced to be serious, Pado's wording remains unchanged:

"Ahua, we have a three-sentence version, a two-sentence version and a one-sentence version. Which one do you want to buy... Well, okay, the one-sentence version is-Australia has an abnormal Honkai energy reaction, and someone needs to deal with it."

"Australia?"

Hua silently recited the place name expressionlessly, and then glanced at Mikael with the corner of her eye. She still didn't understand why Pado suddenly appeared in Taixu Mountain.

Among the heroes at that time, in addition to Kevin, Su and Pado in front of her, she could be sure that at least Mobius and Ying were still active outside.

According to the habits of Mikael and his friends, Padu should have informed Mobius and Sakura as soon as possible...

As for the abnormality of Honkai energy, to be honest, Hua really didn't take it seriously. First of all, Australia is sparsely populated, and even if some Honkai beasts appear, the damage they can cause is extremely limited.

What if it is the Herrscher that appears? Hua couldn't help but look at Mikael more. She didn't know what state Mikael was in now, but it seemed that he still held the power of the end, so the birth of the Herrscher was inseparable from him...Even if the Herrscher was really born in advance at this moment, Hua believed in Mikael's judgment.

Of course, there is another thing that is equally important-what about the Herrscher? She, Kevin, Su, Mobius and Sakura, which one doesn't have the ability to kill the Herrscher?

But she quickly shook her head again. Recently, she always seemed to be easily trapped in such a state of thinking alone. In fact, what is the specific situation, just ask Padu to know, right?

"Time, specific location, Honkai reaction intensity."

She squeezed out these three words from her mouth.

"Time..."

Pado frowned and began to count on her fingers. After counting for two or three minutes, she smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Ah...that...Ahua, I don't remember..."

"..."

"Okay, let Pado tell the story at her own pace."

Even Michelle, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore. It wasn't because of anything else...but because Pado's performance was a bit too much, but it wasn't a big problem, and it was within Michelle's expectations.

"Ahem! This is what happened!"

After receiving Mikael's order, Padu patted his chest, raised his head and explained in a reciting tone:

"That morning, I was going to go out to bask in the sun as usual, but before I walked out of the door, I saw the machine that Sister Snake gave me kept ringing..."

"What is the reading?"

"Eight... eight or nine hundred."

"A Judgment-level Honkai Beast?"

"Probably... right? Oh, Hua, listen to me! My first reaction was to notify Sister Snake and Sister Ying, but they didn't know what was going on and couldn't get in touch. As for Boss Mikael, let alone, I haven't seen him for hundreds of years, and I don't know what he is busy with. I thought about it, I can't go to Brother Kevin... Brother Kevin should still think I'm dead. If I suddenly appear like this, he might use the sky fire to save me!"

Hua's mouth twitched constantly, and he felt that what Padu said seemed to be fine.

"So I thought, the only person I can find who can handle this is you, Ahua! Boss Mikael told me that you don't come down the mountain very often, so I'll definitely find you if I come to Taixu Mountain to find you... So that's why I'm here..." At this point, Paduo proudly puffed out his chest again: "What I mean is that fortunately, in addition to eating and basking in the sun, I have learned some other skills in the past few thousand years. This time, I'm almost exhausted after flying for several hours in a row... By the way, the air quality on your mountain is a bit poor, I think it's better to park directly on the mountain. I couldn't find the place, it was gray everywhere and I couldn't see clearly, so I had to stop at the foot of the mountain! It was the same when I went up the mountain, the road was not clear, and there were so many forks. Fortunately, a family was preparing to go down the mountain, and they kindly sent me up..."

"Plane..."

Hua couldn't help but cover her forehead. From the moment she heard about the plane, she knew that for a long time in the future, the legend of flying swords would spread in the land of Shenzhou...

But it doesn't matter, it's just a few rumors. There are so many legends about Taixu Mountain, and this one is not missing.

She quickly extracted information from Padu's messy words:

"That is to say, the abnormal reaction of Honkai energy only appeared a few hours ago, and the location is Australia, but where is the exact location."

"This... we don't have a map either... Oh, right! The plane I drove here should have a navigation to go back... Hey, no, that's our nest in Australia, and we don't know exactly where the Honkai beast appeared. But well..."

Padu's eyes turned quickly, and naturally his eyes fell on Mikael:

"With Boss Mikael here, this is not a problem, right?"

Mikael shook his head decisively:

"I don't plan to interfere in this matter anymore."

Padu knew this answer a long time ago, and Hua was not surprised. She raised her eyes and met Mikael's eyes.

"I made some decisions for you, but, Hua, the final choice, whether they stay or go, is up to you."

"You want me to take them to Australia?"

"Yes."

"That... Boss Mikael, Ahua, what are you talking about?"

Paduo rubbed the cat ears on her head. She was just acting according to the script given by Mikael, and she didn't know what happened on Taixu Mountain before.

Hua ignored her interruption. She closed her eyes and thought for a while, then nodded heavily.

Yes, after so many years of accepting disciples, although it can't be called a good gathering, it should be a good parting. If they recall that the last moment they were with their master was that ridiculous assassination, it would be a bit unpleasant.

Besides...

"Are these also in your plan, Mikael?"

"Yes."

Mikael nodded without hesitation. Hua didn't ask him what the specific plan was, so he naturally didn't need to deny it.

"I understand... What about you?"

"I want to take a look at the Paradise of the Past. Kevin and the others should also receive the alarm of abnormal Honkai energy and rush to Australia. Taking this opportunity, I want to take a look at the Paradise of the Past."

"Michelle..."

"Pado will also come with me, and send Otto back to Tianming. Pado, just leave your plane to Hua. You should not have forgotten the password, Hua?"

"Well, that's it..."

Hua's eyes flickered. With just these few simple conversations, she could guess a lot of information...

"That's it, goodbye, Michael."

"Goodbye."

The light and shadow in front of her flashed, and when Hua reacted, the courtyard was already empty.

She stood there for a long time, at a loss, before finally accepting the fact that she was alone again.

It's strange to say that this kind of loneliness has accompanied her for five thousand years. She thought she was used to being alone. But the appearance of Michael shattered it all in just half a day.

Of course, it's not that as soon as Mikael left, she felt a pain in her heart and wanted to go with him. How could there be such a bloody plot?

She just felt a faint sadness lingering around her. The loneliness that she had thought was normal before, now she felt it was not so bad.

Her heart was as clear as before, without any debris, but if you look closely, you will find that there are a few circles of shallow ripples disturbing everything - that is the trace left by Mikael's hurried coming and going.

"It doesn't matter, time will smooth everything out."

Hua said to herself.

In another five hundred years, perhaps everything that happened today will not leave any deep memory...

If it can really be so, it will be good.

After tidying up her mood, she took another step and walked into the small house that was once full of murderous intentions.

When she reached out to push the door, a strange thought suddenly popped up in her mind: Is it possible that everything that happened in the past few hours was just a dream she had last night?

In fact, Mikael had never been here. Everything was just a dream she had developed based on the future that Mikael had told her five thousand years ago.

Now, through a thin wooden door, she knew there were seven people and seven swords inside. They were all the people she trusted most in this era, and what they were thinking was... they wanted to kill her.

Just as people could never deny the existence of the brain in the vat, Hua could not prove that this absurd idea was not true...

No, there is a way to prove it... There is one - as long as you push this door open, all the answers will be revealed.

Thinking of this, Hua slightly exerted force on the hand against the door, and the door "creaked" and opened to both sides effortlessly.

There was no sharp sword energy, and she faced seven pairs of complex eyes.

Hua's mouth corners unconsciously raised, it seemed that all this was not a dream.

But soon, she forced herself to change back to that somewhat serious and stereotyped image. In addition, she didn't know what image a master should have when facing his apprentice.

"Don't just stand there, pack up your things and get ready to go down the mountain."

"Go down the mountain..."

Lin Chaoyu, who was standing at the front, bit her lip and repeated the word.

"Ah..."

Hua knew they would think this way:

"Chaoyu."

"Master..."

"Get ready, let's go down the mountain together."

"Ah——"

"There is a demon in the South China Sea, I will take you to kill it, and then... we will go our separate ways."

The light that had just rekindled in Chaoyu's eyes was completely extinguished at this moment.

"I understand..."

After saying this, she lowered her head silently and took the lead to walk out. Su Mei moved her lips and took a step forward to replace Chaoyu. She and Hua were only half a step away from each other, but in the end she said nothing and bit her lip and followed Lin Chaoyu away.

The eldest sister and the second sister both expressed their obedience. The others naturally had nothing to say, but when they took their steps, they heard Hua say:

"Lingshuang, stay for a while."

After what happened just now, no one dared to guess the master's thoughts, and no one dared to disobey the master's decision, but when Hua turned around, he saw that in addition to Lingshuang, the sisters Wanxi and Wanru were also standing at the door and had not left.

"What's wrong?"

Hua raised his eyelids and asked in a deep voice.

"Um, Master... This is our bedroom..."

"... Lingshuang, follow me to the main hall."

The main hall is only a few steps away from this small courtyard. Of course, the passage of time seems to be much slower than Hua expected. When she took Lingshuang across the extremely smooth stone brick road and pushed open the door of the main hall, she saw that the candles in the hall had not yet burned out.

Seeing that there were no other people present, Lingshuang's originally lifeless face gradually became a little lively. Although she still pursed her lips tightly and did not say a word, she did not ask why the master only called her, but just let her eyes move around, taking in all the details in the hall.

After entering the main hall, Hua stood at the head of the bed for a long time without any movement, and naturally did not say anything, but Lingshuang ran around in the main hall without any scruples.

Even seeing that the master had no intention of stopping her, she actually pounced on Hua's bed. If others saw her like this, it would be the most conservative description to say that they were shocked.

After all, in the eyes of others, she is the one who is infinitely close to the master in terms of strength and personality. To put it nicely, she has a calm personality, and to put it bluntly, she is indifferent and doesn't look like a child at all.

"Huh?"

She grabbed a handful of black hair from Hua's bed sheet.

"Is this the hair that Master just cut off?"

While Hua was still thinking about other questions, Ling Shuang ran behind Hua with the pile of hair in her hand, stared at the cut at the end of her hair for a moment, and said something shocking:

"The cut is not clean and neat, which shows that the swordsman's swordsmanship is mediocre, relying only on his energy and brute force to swing. This is not like Master's style... Master, didn't that guy cut it for you?"

"..."

Even though Hua claimed to have experienced five thousand years of ups and downs, she felt a little panic in her heart when facing Ling Shuang's question, but she still answered truthfully:

"Yes, how?"

Ling Shuang tilted her head and pouted:

"Master, your vision of men is not very good."

"..."

"Uh, cough, Master, I'm just joking, you don't have to take out the Xuanyuan Sword..."

Seeing Hua take out the Xuanyuan Sword without saying a word, Ling Shuang kept backing away because she felt guilty.

But it was obvious that Hua was speechless, and she would not draw her sword for such a small matter. She turned her wrist, grasped the hilt of the sword, and handed the sword to Ling Shuang.

"Uh uh, Master, what are you doing..."

"Your sword is broken, I'll give you a new one."

"Thank you, Master! Uh, so how many Xuanyuan Swords do you have?"

"..."

"Uh... Master, that's all, I'm going to pack my things first."

"Stop."

Hua sighed.

"What do you have to pack? Talk to me."

"Ah... ah?"

Regardless of whether Ling Shuang agreed or not, Hua said to herself:

"Among the seven disciples, Chao Yu has been with me the longest, Su Mei is the smartest, Su Yi is the kindest, Yan Qing is the best in martial arts, but the only one who has become the Taixu Sword God and has reached the Taixu realm is you, Ling Shuang. Why do you think this is the case?"

"Master... I don't know if you ask me..."

Hua shook her head. She was not asking a question.

"Zhao Yu, I will let her create her own sect under the name of 'Taixu Sword Sect'. Su Mei may never return to Taixu Mountain in the future. With Yan Qing's personality, I'm afraid she will follow her... Only you, Ling Shuang, I want you to inherit the mantle of Taixu Mountain."

"Ah?"

Ling Shuang rubbed his ears, thinking that he had misheard his master's words.

After a brief thought, she gave an answer that Hua had expected:

"I don't want it!"

Hua smiled slightly:

"I know what you are thinking, but I have already passed on all the Taixu Sword Qi to you. The so-called inheritance is not a skill or wealth, but just a secret... about me, about more people, a dusty past - you also want to know why Mikael looks like he has gone crazy, but he can maintain his sanity and human form, including the girl who looked like a monster before, and even your master... myself..."

"But... why did the master tell me only this?"

"It's very simple, because he glanced at you in the house at that time."

"Ah?"

Ling Shuang frowned and took a long time to understand this sentence.

"He won't be aimless. You must play an extremely important role in the future he wants, or be related to an extremely important role. As for me personally...

"After all, you are my best disciple. Is there a problem that the master wants to tell her best disciple about her secrets?"

Actually, there is a third reason - I don't know when it started, an indescribable premonition shrouded Hua's heart. This premonition is hard to say whether it is good or bad, but it is too similar to the premonition she had before using Yu Duchen's first rated power twice before.

How is that possible? There should be no enemies on Earth today that she needs to use Yu Duchen's first rated power to solve...

But no matter what, if things really come to that point, she hopes that someone can keep these memories for her and protect this land of Shenzhou for her before she regains everything...
