Number One Under Heaven

Chapter 109

The room has been silent for a while, with everyone but the girls and Senior Yao gone.

A frown hung on Tang Yi's face when she looked at the two headless corpse laying on the floor, dying the floor crimson red for the first time since this place was built.

The girls felt chilly, they never knew that their Senior Yao could perform such unreasonable acts.

After recalling what Tian Yi had said about not touching those who are innocent, their already cold blood began solidifying.

Senior Yao stood there, her eyes calm and the atmosphere around her silent. If one did not just witness her brutal actions, they would never be able to see such a vicious character in her.

Her voice still calm, she spoke without looking at the girls,"I will be going back to the Sect, and until I return, I forbid all of you to see that brat. This is a direct order."

Tang Yi and the girls shivered when they heard her voice that was calm yet had endless hatred hidden within.

"Since when did disciples from my sect start ignoring elders when they are being spoken to directly?"

Senior Yao added, her gaze still on the headless corpses.

Hearing that sentence, the girls trembled some more before bowing, "This disciple apologizes for disrespecting an elder, this disciple will obey," they all said in unison.

"I believe none of you will disappoint."

With nothing else to say, Senior Yao disappeared from the room like a ghost, leaving the pagoda dead silent, as if it had turned into an abandoned house.

"Senior apprentice-sister Tang, what do we do...?"
Since she was their senior and has the most authority amongst them, asking her was the right thing to do.

The frown on her face did not disappear, and she seemed to be hesitating.

"Senior apprentice-sister Tang, should we seek out Junior Brother Tian---"

"No!"

Tang Yi's panicked voice interrupted the zither girl, giving her a startle.

"Did you not hear what Senior Yao just said? We will give up on contacting him until she returns," she continued.

Disappointment could be seen flickering deep within the zither girl's eyes, and Tang Yi did not let it go unnoticed.

"I know that you are disappointed, but this is for your own good. Senior Yao's current mental state is not stable, we cannot anger her anymore or else..."

Even she was afraid of imagining the outcome of disobeying her orders at this moment.

"Yes, senior apprentice-sister Tang, we will listen," said every girl... but the zither girl.

"Junior apprentice-sister Zhi..."

The girls looked at her with a worried face.

The zither girl whose surname was Zhi smiled and said, "Do not worry senior apprentice-sister Tang, I will naturally do what is right and obey."

Tang Yi slightly narrowed her eyes at the smile on her face before nodding, "Good, then until Senior Yao returns, we will..."

She begins thinking about what they should be doing for the period of time that their senior will be gone for.

"W-We will... t-try to gain enlightenment from Junior Brother Tian's song..."

The girls looked at Tang Yi with a weird expression hanging on their face.
