"Father and Mother?" Xinghe asked in a puzzled tone.

Sect Master Zhuang and the Grand Elder were also busy responding.

"Hey, Dad's here, Dad's here."

"Mother is here too, Xinghe, don't be afraid, your father and mother will rescue you."

At this moment, Sect Master Zhuang and the Grand Elder looked just like an ordinary couple, and it was impossible to tell that they were cultivators of a high realm.

Fang Ruotang understood this as well, since the little mirror had told her earlier that the cultivation world valued offspring more than the mortal world, since they had difficulty conceiving.

Unlike ordinary couples in mortal cities, every family there has five or six members.

It's already quite good for a couple of cultivators to have even one child. For someone like Sect Master Zhuang and the Grand Elder, who are both highly skilled and have two children, they are extremely rare and exceptional.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember you, and I've forgotten who I am." Xinghe's voice was soft and a little aggrieved.

Master Zhuang's eyes immediately reddened, and he said in a choked voice, "It's alright, you'll remember later, don't worry."

"Yes! Things will get better," the elder echoed.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.

"Excuse me, but now our family of three would like to have some alone time to figure out how to unravel this jade pendant."

"Good!" This is exactly what Medicine King Valley invited them for.

Compared to Zhuang Xinghe, who can still speak clearly, Xun Zhu's speech is unclear and his figure is indistinct, as if he is about to pass away.

They were even more anxious and wanted the people of the Tianyan Array Sect to quickly study the array and find a solution.

[I hope they find a way to break the formation soon, otherwise Xun Zhu and Zhuang Xinghe will both dissipate. Actually, I have a way to keep their souls from fading, but I can't tell anyone what it is. If I tell them, they'll definitely ask, which will expose my secret. Maybe I should just leave it at that? After all, I don't know them.]

Fang Ruotang said this on purpose, and sure enough, she saw people from both sects looking at her with expectant eyes.

She met his gaze silently, offering an innocent, faint smile.

She even asked a very naive question.

"What's up?"

Xun Zhu couldn't hold on any longer; her situation was even worse than Zhuang Xinghe's.

He couldn't help but speak first: "Sect Master Fang, I had originally planned to refine pills for you in the next few days, but I'm really sorry, my good-for-nothing disciple has had an accident and is now facing a life-or-death situation. I'm afraid the pills will have to be delayed for a few days, so I'll trouble you to stay in our valley for a few more days."

After the Valley Master finished speaking, he looked at Fang Ruotang expectantly, hoping she would continue asking questions.

As expected, Fang Ruotang feigned curiosity and asked, "What happened? Is it convenient for you to tell me? Let me see if I can help. If you can't tell me, that's okay too. I was just asking."

Gu Yanjin and the other five watched Fang Ruotang's performance and were deeply impressed by how much her acting skills had improved.

"I remembered the days when I acted with Xiao Liu." Gu Yanjin couldn't help but mutter to himself in his mind.

Ye Wuxia immediately responded.

【Who isn't like that! Back then, when she tried to grab my hand, I was walking ahead, afraid to even swing my arm, lest she miss. And she really didn't. Come to think of it, I've always wanted to ask, were you deliberately standing there to ambush her?】

Gu Yanjin didn't say anything. He reacted quickly, so why blame him?

While everyone else was wavering, he had already set his sights on his target. He didn't make a move, but seized the initiative. With such a favorable situation, was he just going to hand it over to someone else?

"Who says otherwise! Who wasn't a seasoned actor back then, playing along with Xiao Liu?" Cui Shixu chuckled, recalling the past.

The Valley Master immediately took out the jade pendant and told Fang Ruotang the whole story. Then he looked at Fang Ruotang expectantly and asked, "I wonder if Sect Master Fang has a way to temporarily nourish their souls and prevent them from continuing to weaken?"

"I do have such a treasure! But I cannot lend it to you. If you trust me, you can temporarily store the jade pendant with me."

Fang Ruotang didn't have any treasures; she just kept the jade pendant on her person, and they gradually recovered.

"Alright, alright, then we'll have to trouble Sect Master Fang. By the way, if Sect Master Fang has any needs, you can also send a few disciples to our Medicine King Valley to study, as a token of our Medicine King Sect's gratitude to Sect Master Fang."

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was very perceptive. As soon as he said that, Fang Ruotang's smile brightened, and she grinned and said, "Then I'll send ten disciples over too?"

"Sure, you're welcome."

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley agreed, and both parties were very satisfied.

Fang Ruotang took the jade pendant and returned to the guest house where she was temporarily staying.

"Are you just going to keep playing with this jade pendant like this?" Gu Yanjin held back for a long time, but couldn't help it.

The main reason is that they all know there is a man inside the jade pendant, and Fang Ruotang's handling of it looks to them as if she is caressing that man.

“Otherwise what? I don’t know how to help him recover.” Fang Ruotang said with a matter-of-fact expression, even asking Gu Yanjin in return.

"Or do you have a better way?"

Huo Zhige couldn't stand it anymore and reached out, saying, "Why don't you let me see? Maybe I can have the same effect if I wear it."

"You're quite good at patting yourself on the back," Little Mirror couldn't help but retort.

Huo Zhige ignored him.

He took the jade from Fang Ruotang's hand and immediately noticed its difference. It was a strange feeling, as if he knew the jade was alive.

He didn't say anything, but silently passed the jade through the hands of the other five people.

People who could normally suppress their jealousy couldn't hold back anymore.

Touching this jade wasn't like touching jade; it felt like touching a person's body. The six men immediately went wild.

Rong Xing didn't say anything, but took out a slightly damp handkerchief and silently wiped Fang Ruotang's hands, so meticulously that Fang Ruotang couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What are you doing?

"Something's not right with this jade."

"Isn't this something we already knew?" Fang Ruotang asked, looking puzzled.

"I mean, this jade feels weird, didn't you notice?" Huo Zhige gritted his teeth, his face turning red.

Thinking that Fang Ruotang might have touched Xun Zhu's body when she touched the jade, he felt terrible and wanted to drag Xun Zhu out and tear her to pieces.

"I can feel it! It feels very comfortable to touch, warm and cozy, very pleasant to the touch," Fang Ruotang said frankly.

The six men collectively lost their composure.

Gu Yanjin asked, "So you know that touching this jade is the same as touching Xunzhu's body?"

Fang Ruotang was stunned for a moment, her mouth agape in shock as she asked, "Impossible, right? Why are you making such a frightening statement?"

Gu Yanjin remained silent, only staring intently at Fang Ruotang.

Fang Ruotang snatched the wet cloth from Rong Xing's hand and wiped it vigorously. She felt that her fingers still had a tactile sensation, which was extremely frightening. She couldn't help but stuff both of her hands into Rong Xing's sleeve and touch his forearm all the way up.

Only when the warm touch replaced the previous sensation did her complexion improve. Then, she asked incredulously, "So you mean this is a piece of human skin jade?"
