A highly capable heir of an ancient martial arts family unexpectedly transmigrates into ancient times! Not a princess, not a daughter of a noble family, but a villainous mother whose home was just ...
The fact that the old Valley Master could stand up again meant something even deeper and more to Linghu Zhou. He wanted the old Valley Master to be able to stand again more than anyone else; it was his deepest obsession. If he hadn't lacked sufficient strength, he wouldn't have hindered the old Valley Master's leg at all. Therefore, he felt that the old Valley Master's current state was entirely his fault. Upon hearing that it was still curable, Linghu Zhou agreed without hesitation, "Okay, we'll go with you."
Linghu Zhou said he was going with Xu Yuehuai, not with the rest of them. In his heart, he only trusted Xu Yuehuai, so the concept of "the rest of them" didn't apply to him, and he didn't want to acknowledge the existence of anyone else. Xu Yuehuai thought the old valley master would be the first to agree, since it was the old valley master who was injured and wanted to rise again. Clearly, this incident had left a deeper scar on the old valley master, who longed for a new beginning. Linghu Zhou was unexpected.
Old Stubborn was stunned for a moment. He knew why Linghu Zhou had agreed so quickly. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He had just wanted to think about it some more. After all, this place was quite nice, and he didn't necessarily have to stand up. If life could just continue like this peacefully, wouldn't that be a good thing? But when Linghu Zhou agreed, he knew that this child was still as thoughtful as ever, taking everything to heart, even his injured leg.
Xu Yuehuai wasn't sure if the old valley master was really willing to leave, so she looked at him. The old valley master nodded, "Since A-Zhou agreed so quickly, let's go out and see together. I haven't seen what the outside world is like in a long time; I've almost forgotten. The journey back won't be peaceful, little girl. You must protect this old man, or you'll return with nothing but a corpse."
To avoid an awkward silence, the old valley master joked with her. Xu Yuehuai smiled and said, "Don't worry, valley master, we will definitely not let anything happen to you. Leave this to us, you can rest assured."
Emerging from the cave, Xu Yuehuai returned to the camp. The others gradually rose as well. Baili Xiuwen and Fu Ziyi approached Xu Yuehuai. Fu Ziyi had initially intended to walk past her, but the scene of her meeting that man kept replaying in her mind. She couldn't help but stop and ask, "What's your relationship with that man? You've only known each other for a short time, and you two are already chatting. What if he's a fraud? Also, were you close before? Why have I never heard you mention him before? And after so long, are you so sure he's still the same person? Hasn't he changed at all?"
His series of questions left everyone stunned, staring blankly at Xu Yuehuai and Fu Ziyi, as if to say, "How could so many things have happened in just one short morning? It's truly astonishing."
After asking these questions, Fu Ziyi suddenly realized what he was doing. His eyes darted around, and he wanted to run away, but he had already spoken, and leaving now would seem a little guilty. Xu Yuehuai looked at him strangely, as if he were constipated. "You guys are all not doing your jobs properly, and now that I've done something important, you're turning around and criticizing me. You're really something. You think you can persuade them to leave with just a few words? You really have underdeveloped cerebellum and cerebrum."
Xu Yuehuai was ruthless when she started cursing. People had to think carefully before they could understand what she meant, and she would interpret it as her saying that they were stupid.
Fu Ziyi hadn't considered this possibility. At the time, he didn't think so much. Under Baili Xiuwen's guidance, he only thought that her relationship with that man was unusual and that the two were a good match. That was all.
For a moment, everyone acted like cowards. No one stood up for Fu Ziyi this time. Anyone who did would be scolded. Nobody was that stupid, so they simply kept quiet.
Fortunately, everything was resolved. Now all that was needed was to pack up. Xu Yuehuai had returned to tell them about this. Linghu Zhou was very anxious, as if worried that Xu Yuehuai would change his mind. He immediately agreed and asked to leave right away. So the group didn't dare to delay and quickly packed up their things, dismantling all the traces they had made. After placing the trees on the ground and arranging them neatly, everyone went to the cave entrance. This was the first time the others had seen this place. No one looked around. The person in front of them was a very famous figure in the outside world, and no one dared to act recklessly in front of him.
After the old valley master finished packing his things, he was about to say that he needed two people to help him walk when Linghu Zhou took out something that looked like a chair from somewhere. Xu Yuehuai could tell at a glance that Linghu Zhou probably wanted to make a wheelchair, but he had too little time and this thing was only a rough model, so it didn't look very similar.
The old valley master looked at the thing in front of him, then glanced at Linghu Zhou's eyes, realizing that he wanted him to sit on it. "Although my legs are weak, I think I can walk. Besides, there are very few places in the mountains where this movement can be used. Most of the time, it will require the help of two people. You keep this thing, and I will sit on it when we get down the mountain. What do you think?"
The old valley master didn't want to discourage the child's good intentions. Linghu Zhou hadn't thought of this problem, only that the old valley master would feel better sitting inside. Suddenly, he realized that the path down the mountain wasn't as smooth as the one he usually walked around here, so this method wouldn't work. He could only put the wheelchair into his spatial storage.
Xu Yuehuai thought of something, took out a piece of cloth, and placed it in front of the old valley master. "Senior, lie down on this, and it will carry you. Don't worry, this thing is very stable and there won't be any problems."
Xu Yuehuai had made this magical artifact before when she came from the border town. She had used it before, but later she used it either as a spirit boat or in the sect. She felt it was too ostentatious, so she never used it again. It was left to gather dust in a corner. If Linghu Zhou hadn't taken out that strange-looking thing, she really wouldn't have remembered that she had such a treasure.
The old valley master had never heard of such a thing before. He sat down with great curiosity and found that the cloth rose up smoothly. It wasn't very hard, but rather soft, and not so soft that one would sink into it. It felt like stepping on a pile of cotton. "This thing is good! This thing is good! Little girl, where did you get this thing? I'll buy one of these someday. It'll be perfect when I don't want to walk!"
