"Who?" It was too dark for Nie Qingyi to see clearly, so she shouted sharply, but her voice was filled with even more panic.

Su Jin chuckled softly, "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up with you, and that it would be more troublesome to make a move after you entered Lin'nan. I didn't expect you to be so considerate in waiting for me. I'm really touched."

"Su Jin, get out!" Nie Qingyi jumped out of bed in fright, not caring about the strong wind and the fact that she was only wearing a thin undergarment. Incredulous surprise filled her eyes, then, as if overwhelmed by the pressure, she screamed frantically, "How could you be here? Didn't you go to the Prince's mansion? How is this possible!"

Nie Qingyi had calculated that with Su Jinxia's shrewdness, she would definitely figure out that the Black Mushroom's real location was the Prince's Mansion, so why would she come looking for her?

Su Jin replied considerately, "I went and got the black mushroom. I have to thank you for this! I traveled day and night to catch up with you, but luckily we appreciate each other and I still managed to catch up."

Nie Qingyi really didn't expect that Su Jin could leave the Prince's mansion unscathed and catch up with her so quickly.

She's now kicking herself!

Su Jin glanced at the sky with some impatience. She hadn't had a proper rest in a long time and really wanted to go home.

"I'll give you ten chances to get dressed and come back to the Liuli Society with me, or I'll have someone come in and carry you out."

Nie Qingyi shrank to the corner of the bed. She panicked. She didn't want to go back to the Liuli Society. She knew that everyone there would want to tear her to pieces.

Su Jin sneered dismissively and clapped her hands.

The disciple outside the door came in and, without saying a word, dragged Nie Qingyi off the bed.

Nie Qingyi shouted, "Help! Help me!"

She was shouting to the neighbor next door, where her companions were.

Su Jin walked quietly to her side, leaned down slightly, and smiled mischievously, "Shout, shout as loud as you can, no one will come to save you even if you shout until your throat is hoarse."

Everyone in the inn was drugged by Su Jin and wouldn't wake up until dawn.

Nie Qingyi realized this, and in despair, she collapsed and was dragged away.

Nie Qingyi was thrown into the secret room of the Liuli Society.

Su Jin leaned against the door and smiled softly, "Just enjoy this darkness."

Nie Qingyi stared in horror at the bare walls without a single gap. She knew all too well what it felt like to be locked up here, because she used to punish people who made mistakes in the past.

At first, they won't do anything, but as time goes on, they will start to feel uncomfortable, then beg for mercy, then scream in pain, scratch the walls with all their might, and finally their inner world will be destroyed, and they will go completely insane.

"I don't want to! I don't want to stay here!"

"Su Jinxia, ​​I curse you, may you die a horrible death!"

The door closed, completely blocking out the light. Nie Qingyi pounded on the door, cursing and roaring wildly.

Su Hu frowned and said coldly, "She should have been killed with one blow."

Su Jin didn't take Nie Qingyi's angry words to heart; they were a sign of helplessness and cowardice. Before long, her anger would be completely replaced by fear.

Su Jinxia knew all too well what that feeling was like.

Su Jin walked down the corridor to the end, opened the door to another secret room, which was the Liuli Society's archives room.

She went inside, only to find that Su Hu hadn't followed.

Su Jin turned around and smiled, "Come in."

This place holds all the secrets of the Glazed Society, and only the Glazed Master has ever been allowed to enter. The reason why Nie Qingyi knows so many secrets about the Glazed Master is because she has been inside before.

Su Hu hesitated for a moment, but still followed him inside.

Inside the archives, there is a row of bookshelves filled with secret manuals treasured by the Su family and the Liuli Society over the years. These manuals record many unpredictable Gu and poison techniques, but these methods are too ruthless and cruel, and are inhumane. Many of them have been banned from use, and even disciples of the Liuli Society are not allowed to access them.

The initial master of Liuli would use some of these techniques more or less, which is why the Liuli Society was feared by the world and has achieved its current status in the martial arts world.

Later, once the Rurisha (Liuli Society) stabilized, it hid all these secrets.

Su Jinxia had never used these secret techniques. Since Su Jinxia returned, she hoped that Liuli Village could leave the mountains and live like normal people. Therefore, she could not allow the Su clan to be associated with evil, cruel and bloodthirsty practices.

On the contrary, thanks to Su Jin's efforts, people around the world have fully accepted the existence of the Liuli Society and the Guying Society, and regard them as objects of worship. Many people feel honored to join the Liuli Society and the Guying Society.

Once the world is unified, the Su clan can finally leave the mountains.

Su Jin looked up at Su Hu and asked, "Brother Hu, if you had to choose, would you choose to live in the mountains or in the city?"

Su Hu's eyes flickered slightly. He knew what Su Jinxia meant. "A hundred years ago, our clan settled in Liuli Mountain to seek refuge. If we could leave, who would want to live here? The children are like little birds. They want to fly to the sky and see more and farther worlds."

Su Jin took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling, "Once the world is unified, we can leave!"

Su Hu nodded deeply, his nose tingling slightly, and he choked up a little. He knew all too well how much effort Su Jin had put in for this day.

Su Jinxia walked to the innermost part of the secret room and gently placed her small hand on a long box. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. The Gu Mother seemed to sense a deadly danger, which churned in Su Jinxia's heart and made her feel painful.

"Be careful, stay away." Su Hu hurriedly came up and removed Su Jin's hand. He knew that the box contained dead wood.

The withered tree is the only thing in the world capable of killing the Glazed Gu.

Su Jin patted Su Hu's hand to reassure him. She looked at the withered tree and said, "All the disciples of the Glazed Society have switched to cultivating the Lone Shadow Heart Method. Although their strength is still weak and not as powerful as the Glazed Gu, they are still martial artists and still have the means to make a living. Therefore... the Glazed Gu should no longer exist."

"Ah Jin wants to kill the Glass Gu with the withered wood?" Su Hu's expression became serious. "Isn't there always a rumor that if the Glass Gu dies, the host will also die?"

“That’s right. Only two things can kill the Glass Gu Child: the Glass Gu Mother and the withered wood. If the Child Gu dies on the Gu Mother’s orders, the host will surely die. But what if it dies from its natural enemy, the withered wood? What if it’s not killed with a sword, but the withered wood is used as medicine?”

"Could a tiny amount of dried wood powder kill the Gu worms without harming itself?"

Su Jin's lower eyes darkened, a hint of madness in them. "I want to try."

"Nonsense! This is playing with your life! Who do you think you are?" Su Hu's eyes widened, his anger blazing.

Su Jin looked at him and couldn't help but chuckle, "I didn't say I was going to be used as a test subject, why are you in such a hurry? Aren't there already ready-made candidates?"

Su Jin looked outwards, and Su Hu suddenly realized that it was Nie Qingyi.
