Chapter 550 Arrival at Yedu

Huh? That's not right, is it?

Yu Cang was stunned for a moment after hearing Tai Chu's words.

Love brain?

He must have heard it right.

Could these three words be related to Madam Yu?

Madam Yu’s large family flashed through Yu Cang’s mind.

...Who, so love-sick, would ban her husband and four children?

The corner of Yu Cang's mouth twitched.

oh.

He understood.

This is what everyone calls a yandere, right... Is, is that so?

"..." Tai Chu said slowly, "Now that I think about it, the Desolate Sect probably saw no way to recruit me, so they sent that child to me to study..."

Yu Cang frowned slightly: "Did they send a lot of people to study?"

"No, there's only Yu Wanqing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have discovered it recently." After a pause, Tai Chu continued, "Of course, it's possible that more people are already dead."

“…”

Yu Cang couldn't help but remain silent.

This step... for the person involved, it can only be described as crazy.

You have to know that Taichu, as the master of the Immortal Village, had a zero survival record among his disciples before Madam Yu went in to study.

Madam Yu is only a level six soul card master now... let alone level six, even level eight is nothing in Taichu's eyes, and it is impossible for her to escape from Taichu's palm.

In other words, as long as you accept this mission and enter Taichu's place... your life and death will no longer be decided by you.

Moreover, after sneaking into the Undead Village, Madam Yu was only a nominal apprentice. Just think about it and you will know that Tai Hyun will definitely not really teach her... If she wants to learn something real, she must engage in unilateral intrigue against Tai Hyun, use layers of acting skills, step by step make Tai Hyun accept her existence, and teach her skills.

The difficulty is definitely higher than competing for favor in the ancient emperor's harem.

What kind of psychological endurance does it take for Mrs. Yu to study under such pressure, and... finally escape?

Come to think of it... this process has a strong sense of déjà vu.

Was it the same thing for Wen Yang back then... He followed Madam Yu's orders and entered the treatment bureau, becoming a lamb to be slaughtered in the living room, and then used this identity to get close to Yu Cang, pass on information, and bring Yu Cang out to meet God.

This... At first, he thought Madam Yu's plan was too risky. What if Yu Cang didn't come to the treatment center or went to another place? What if the "live material" had already been used up before Yu Cang came?

Although from Cheng Mingye's later description, Mrs. Yu should have deduced Yu Cang's itinerary through various clues, there were still many uncontrollable factors in the middle.

The failure rate is too high... But now it seems that this might just be Mrs. Yu's bad taste.

Because you have been caught in the rain, you want your apprentice to get caught in the rain too, right?

Like something she could do.

While Yu Cang was thinking, Tai Chu continued:

"Actually, there's absolutely no need for Yu Wanqing to take such a risk. She became a card banner because of her lover. She could have told me that she was forced to come to me by the Desolate Sect... I have some sympathy for her situation and wouldn't mind sending her back to a safe place in Yan Country.

"Besides, if I knew that the Desolate Sect was using this method to covet my knowledge... Haha, I'm not Emperor Chang'an, who needs to consider his own lifespan. I don't mind teaching those flies a little lesson.

"She could have survived much more easily if she had just spoken, but she didn't. Her desire to reunite with her lover made her devote all her energy to learning under me... Honestly, when I later realized that her interactions with me were all just acting, I began to admire her a little."

Yu Cang nodded silently.

Indeed, being able to complete such a task under the nose of a myth like Shinhwa or Taichung is definitely a matter of pride.

Of course, this may also be because Tai Hina herself was not very prepared.

But, according to Tai Chu, Madam Yu is too affectionate towards her lover... Chang Weimin.

For the sake of his lover, he degenerated into a card banner and was willing to go through dangerous situations with almost no chance of survival... This love-brained person is really not an exaggeration.

But it's also true that she made those banned cards... Perhaps it was out of love turning into hate? Or was there a deeper reason?

That remains to be seen.

"Love is not a good thing." Tai Hyun yawned, "This is her weakness, I tell you."

Yu Cang was at a loss for words: "Senior... I can't use this weakness."

Even if Madam Yu is in love, it has nothing to do with her. She can't let him use her beauty to seduce her, right?

He doesn't want to end up being banned.

Moreover, maybe before that, Gu Jieshuang would kill him first.

"That depends on your approach." Tai Chu smiled gently and then changed the subject. "Okay, Yu Cang... give me some space. I need to carefully calculate the probability of your results. As for your girlfriend, I'll give her some advice after we get off the plane."

Gu Jieshuang quickly said, "Thank you, senior!"

Yu Cang also expressed his gratitude to Tai Chu, and then tactfully pulled Gu Jieshuang away.

At this time, Tai Hyun suddenly said:

"Yu Cang—Is Di Chang'an going to do something dangerous?"

"Huh?" Yu Cang was stunned. "Didn't Emperor Shenhua tell you?"

"...My relationship with Di Chang'an is not as close as you think." Tai Chu said calmly, "We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years."

After all, Tai Hina is a card banner.

The relationship between the Undead Village and Yan Country is at best a tacit understanding, and there will never be real, open cooperation.

In Yan Country, if a card banner shows his head, he will die, and Di Changan must set an example.

If the two of them really had frequent contact, Yan State would not have discovered the traces of the Desolate Sect only when they arrived at the Fire Star Club.

Tai Chu would occasionally have a brief chat with Di Chang'an, but he didn't think it necessary to communicate with Di Chang'an about things like the few remnants of the Desolate Sect trying to make a comeback.

Who knows, in a few years he will die in some remote corner, and he may even stop believing in it.

Who knew those few believers could grow to the size they are today? She didn't know there was something like the Wild God backing them up.

"Is that so?" Yu Cang laughed dryly.

Di Changan is the one who has seen Tai Chu's body... Is this kind of relationship not considered close?

Ahem...Emperor Chang'an is indeed a legend. It seems that he had experienced many adventures when he was growing up in his early years.

"Well, it's a little dangerous... but Emperor Mythology said his survival rate is 100%, and this isn't a bad thing."

"……good."

Tai Hina seemed to sigh.

It is so subtle that it is almost imperceptible and inaudible.

Di Chang'an, an old friend.

There are very few people in this world who can talk to her.

Seeing that Tai Chu didn't say anything else, Yu Cang stopped disturbing her and returned to his seat with Gu Jieshuang.

The flight went smoothly without any setbacks.

Yu Cang took out a blank soul card and spent some time making the soul card that Gu Jieshuang had summoned in the battle just now.

…

Soul Card Name: Tian You Xing Shuang

Category: Equipment Card

Star level: Level 14

Quality: Synchronic

Attribute: Ice

ability:

Sword Intentions: Frostfall + Synchro Summon Non-Adjustment Equipment Card

[Extreme Cold]: Attack with a massive chill. Targets below level 14 are instantly frozen. Frozen targets remain in a near-death state, unable to interact with the outside world. As long as this Soul Card remains on the field, targets frozen by this effect cannot be thawed.

[Frost Born]: When this Soul Card is summoned, select an existing temperature to activate, directly changing the temperature within the range to that value and maintaining it constant. Then, select one Soul Card, one on the field and one on Death Cooldown, within the range to disconnect them.

[Star Frost Annihilation]: Attacks summon Star Frost to assist. After this Soul Card is destroyed, you can choose not to enter Death Cooldown, but instead transform into Star Frost to follow the user. At this point, you can condense Star Frost into Celestial Star Frost at any time, treating it as a Soul Card activation. Actively activating this ability directly destroys Celestial Star Frost.

…

Although it was a fourteenth-level heirloom soul card, it was an extra card deck after all, and the rhythm was incomplete, so Yu Cang worked hard and finally made this soul card before the plane landed.

This soul card focuses on simplicity and brutality.

There are only three effects, but each one is very powerful.

These three are easy to understand. They are the enhanced version of [Cold Air], the domain skill similar to [Cold Day], and the endurance skill similar to [Broken Return].

This soul card is the handed-down form of Gu Jieshuang's family sword intent. It is at the same star level as Hantian Jinzhan, but their areas of expertise are quite different.

Frost Sky Slash is a soul card that focuses on large-scale environmental transformation and field clearing capabilities, while Heaven Blessing Star Frost is a soul card that focuses on continuous suppression and single-point output.

Moreover, the difficulty of summoning Tianyou Xingshuang is higher than Hantian Jinzhan, and it requires non-adjustment of synchronized summoning!

In other words, only soul cards like Sitian or Pofeng Hantian are qualified for summoning.

From this point of view alone, this soul card is definitely stronger than Hantian Jinzhan.

As for where its strength lies... I'm not sure.

In the battle just now, Tian You Xing Shuang did not play much of a role. At the fourteenth level, it had no ability to break through Tai Chu's defense, so it was decisively abandoned by Gu Jie Shuang.

Originally, this sword was summoned just to lead the charge and conduct a test... Although Tian You Xing Shuang might be really strong, Gu Jie Shuang did not expect this weapon to cause effective damage to units that might be mythical.

Her real killer move was the sword in his back hand that he could barely even summon.

However, Yu Cang still couldn't summon the sword.

Just like the last time outside Tianmen, when Gu Jieshuang condensed all the power of [Hantian] and used the Spring and Autumn Sword Intention to launch an attack, this time, at the end of the triple star adjustment, Gu Jieshuang merely summoned an attack from the future.

It was equivalent to the activation of an ability of this sword from the future, or even just a normal attack. Even Yu Cang could not capture the rhythmic fluctuations sufficient to draw a soul card from such a brief confrontation.

However, the future has been glimpsed. As long as he keeps going, one day, Gu Jieshuang will touch that future with his own hands. At that time, it will not be too late to make it into a soul card.

Yu Cang looked up and down at the soul card, then nodded, looking very satisfied.

Buzz...

Layers of light and shadows passed by outside the window, and Gu Jieshuang woke up from her seat in a daze.

"Boss...are you here yet?"

"Well, the plane is already landing."

"Okay..."

Yu Cang smiled.

The changes in air pressure during takeoff and landing had no effect on Gu Jieshuang's body, so she was able to sleep soundly and didn't notice anything unusual.

"Here, it's for you." Yu Cang waved Tianyou Xingshuang in front of Gu Jieshuang.

"Huh?"

Gu Jieshuang was stunned.

She blinked and her vision quickly recovered. When she saw the name of the first soul card, she smiled and her sleepiness disappeared.

"This card... Wow, Boss, you're making Soul Cards faster and faster..."

A soul card can be made in the time it takes to take a plane flight.

So awesome!

Gu Jieshuang had long guessed that Yu Cang would make this soul card, but that still did not stop her from expressing her liking for it.

"Boss is so strong!" Gu Jieshuang threw herself into Yu Cang's arms and rubbed his chest wantonly, "I like Boss the most!"

Yu Cang smiled and touched Gu Jieshuang's head.

"Okay... time to get off the plane."

…

They landed in Yedu.

It was already evening when we landed.

With Tai Hina around, there wouldn't be any safety issues even if we set off at night, but there was no need.

Adequate rest is still necessary.

The association prepared a hotel for the group early on.

This time, there was no Lin Yunqing to help them take Qi'er away. However, during those days in the imperial capital, they had already gotten over the novelty of tasting the forbidden fruit, and now their enthusiasm was not as high.

So, the night before leaving Yan State, they decided to have a good night's sleep.

This made Qi'er very happy.

Because, this was the first time, she slept with her brother and sister at the same time!

Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang slept together on a big bed, with Qi'er curled up between them, looking very satisfied.

Now that the window paper has been broken, there is no need to sleep in separate beds. Qi'er has been craving for this kind of thing for a long time, so they naturally will not let the girl down.

The three of them were like a real family of three, turning off the bedside lights and falling asleep in each other's arms.

…

Yu Cang smiled as he watched the two girls fall into a deep sleep.

That’s great.

He was carrying more and more things.

Fortunately, as long as you see such a scene, there is nothing to complain about.

Qi'er and Gu Jieshuang are both family and comrades-in-arms. We are so lucky to be able to walk together. It is so lucky to have such people accompany us.

Thinking of this, he gently closed his eyes and fell asleep.

…

I don’t know how long it took.

In the hazy starlight, Yu Cang suddenly opened his eyes.

Where...is this place?

He remembered that he should have fallen asleep...was it a dream? But why was he so awake?

Suddenly, a voice sounded:

"This is the depths of the Starry Sky Vision."

"who?"

"It's me."

Buzz...

The starlight kept fluctuating. Yu Cang sensed something and immediately turned around, and saw... a figure slowly emerging from the starlight and walking towards him.

And, it stopped a few steps away from him.

Yu Cang's expression gradually became serious.

This guy... he is very familiar.

He had a face exactly like his own, but Yu Cang knew that it was not him.

It’s the Emperor Star!

"Didn't you say you would only come out after I died?"

"Of course," Di Xing said, "but thanks to your development of the Starry Sky Vision, I can occasionally meet you in the deep."

“…”
