Chapter 31: The Boundless Sea of Suffering and Endless Pain.
"His heart's blood altered your original blood, transforming you from a pure-blooded human into a pure-blooded sea creature," Lu Jiao explained.
After hearing his explanation, Lin Jianyu immediately thought of a type of cell in the human body.
Hematopoietic stem cells.
"What?" Lu Jiao's face once again revealed a clarity untouched by knowledge.
“It’s cells that can change a person’s blood.” Lin Jianyu seemed to explain, but not completely. She was more concerned about another issue: “I have the same blood as my master flowing through my veins, so can we still get married?”
"You actually want to marry the sect leader's junior uncle!" Zhu Liu exclaimed in shock.
"Is it strange? I've wanted to marry my master since I was little." Ever since her master saved her, she has never thought of repaying him with her body, even though her master would rather she serve him like a slave.
“It doesn’t seem that strange.” She had been particularly dependent on Lin Jinshui since she was a child, but he used to think that this dependence was the disciple’s dependence on the master. Now it seems that it shouldn’t be. “If it’s just a change in blood caused by a bone marrow transplant, it won’t affect marriage. But you and the sect leader’s junior uncle obviously didn’t have a bone marrow transplant.”
"Can my master and I still get married?" Lin Jianyu asked Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao didn't answer her question, but instead "looked" at her.
Although Lin Jianyu couldn't see his eyes, she inexplicably felt that the look he gave her was complicated.
"Can't I?" she asked tentatively.
"have no idea."
“It doesn’t matter if we can’t, as long as I can be with my master forever,” Lin Jianyu said.
Lu Jiao glanced at her again, and the feeling he gave her was even more complicated than the previous glance.
What's with that look?
"How did you see the boss's eyes through the red silk?" Zhu Liu asked.
Lin Jianyu did not answer his question; she looked at Lu Jiao, waiting for his reply.
Lu Jiao seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally speaking, "I remember telling you that he was about to die."
"Pah, get it out of my mouth! You're a jinx too." Lin Jianyu slapped his mouth, the force was too much, and the sound was a bit loud, like he had been slapped.
Lu Jiao: "..."
Lu Jiao had never been offended like this in her life.
Then, Lin Jianyu met with tragedy.
"I was just kidding with you, look what you've done to me," Lin Jianyu said while wiping the blood from her nose with a tissue.
Lu Jiao didn't actually hit her. He just had a thought, and she flew out and crashed into a tree. The force was so great that she didn't know whether to feel sorry for herself or for the tree.
"If you dare to lay a hand on me again, you'll lose your hand."
"We wouldn't dare do it again." Once is bad enough.
"That's not necessarily true." Zhu Liu felt that she didn't understand him well enough.
Lin Jianyu ignored him and asked Lu Jiao, "Is my master really not in Suzhou?"
"have no idea."
“That’s true, we’ve only just arrived in Suzhou and haven’t even started searching yet.” After saying that, Lin Jianyu caught a glimpse of the whale fall in her hand out of the corner of her eye and asked again, “Can the whale fall take us to my master?”
“Yes,” Lu Jiao said.
Lin Jianyu had only asked casually, but when he heard that it was possible, his eyes lit up: "How do you bring it?"
“Communicate with it, let it guide you,” Lu Jiao said casually.
"Do you think I might be able to communicate with it?" Lin Jianyu asked with a smile.
She didn't even know how to use her bloodline power, and Lu Jiao guessed she didn't.
"When you learn to use the power of your bloodline, you will naturally be able to communicate with it."
"If you know how to use the power of your bloodline, you can communicate with it?" Lin Jianyu asked.
“Theoretically, yes,” Lu Jiao said, “but you’re rather slow-witted, so it’s not certain.”
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Very well, I feel offended.
"I'll learn to use the power of my bloodline first." With that, she stood up and walked towards Xuan Zhan. "Senior Brother Xuan Zhan, I think I can still be saved."
Xuan Zhan used all his knowledge to try and save her for a long time, but he still couldn't.
“Accept reality! You don’t have the talent for this,” Zhu Liu said.
"No, I won't accept it." Lin Jianyu said stubbornly, "I'm going to fight this damn bloodline power to the death. I don't believe I can't control it."
"Go ahead and kowtow!" Zhu Liu didn't stop her.
"We'll do the kneading later, let's eat dumplings first, and give me a clove of garlic," Lin Jianyu said.
Zhu Liu handed her a clove of garlic and told her to peel it herself.
Lin Jianyu broke off a piece and asked Lu Jiao, "Want some?"
Lu Jiao shook his head.
"I won't eat it." After saying that, Lin Jianyu picked up a scallion and asked him, "Want some scallions?"
Lu Jiao shook his head again.
"You should at least have some vinegar!" Lin Jianyu pushed the bowl of vinegar toward him.
Lu Jiao picked up a dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, put it in his mouth, chewed, and swallowed. He then said, "No."
Lin Jianyu: "..."
He completely stifled the soul of the dumplings.
After finishing the dumplings, the group did not set off immediately, but rested on the spot. After all, they had just experienced a life-or-death situation and needed to recover both physically and mentally.
Lin Jianyu had always thought that the outside world was safe, and that even in the deep mountains and forests, she only needed to be careful of poisonous snakes and wild beasts. But after coming out this time, she realized that the outside world was full of dangers, especially in places where there were cultivators. Every time her master went out to cultivate, he was on the verge of life and death.
It's her fault, really. If it weren't for suppressing the abnormal changes in her body, her master wouldn't have to keep running to dangerous places. Her senior brothers are the same; they could have lived like ordinary people, but now they have to follow her and risk their lives everywhere.
"Why don't you go back?" she suddenly said.
"Go back where?" Zhu Liu asked suspiciously.
“Go back to Nan Yue, go back to Nan Zhao, go back to Second Uncle’s side,” Lin Jianyu said. “You two go back to Nan Yue and make a lot of money with Third Uncle. You go back to Nan Zhao and continue being your cook. You go back to Second Uncle’s side. Although it is also dangerous, he will protect you. I will go find my master myself.”
"Why are we suddenly being told to go back?" Zhu Liu asked, puzzled.
"Why even ask? It's because the outside world is too dangerous," Lin Jianyu said. "If the big boss and the others hadn't arrived in time, we would have all died. I need to find my master, which requires taking risks, and you don't need to take risks with me at all."
She didn't want to see them covered in blood anymore, nor did she want to see them fall one by one before her eyes. She hoped they could live well, in a safe place, carrying her share with them.
Of course, this doesn't mean she's definitely going to die. In fact, with Lu Jiao around, she's safe. As long as she doesn't do anything reckless, she won't die easily.
“Our junior uncle is not only your master, but also our junior uncle,” Xuanzhan said. “We cannot give up searching for him just because there are some unknown dangers ahead.”
“Zhanzhan is right,” Yun Dan agreed. “The path of cultivation is inherently cruel. Since we have embarked on this path, even if we don’t come out to look for water, we can’t always have smooth sailing. Sooner or later we will face danger.”
“We always knew this path was dangerous. When we chose to come out with you to find the sect leader’s junior uncle, we knew what we were about to face,” Zhu Jin said. “You were the only one who didn’t know this path was dangerous.”
"It seems like I don't need to say anything? Maybe I should say a few words!" Zhu Liu was thinking about what he should say, but Lin Jianyu didn't want to listen.
“No need, shut up,” she said. “I understand what you mean, but I’m not going back.”
“How could we possibly go back?” Zhu Liu said. “We didn’t come out with any intention of going back alive.”
“It’s not us, it’s just you.” Yun Dan corrected him. “We still plan to go back alive.”
“Yes.” Zhu Jin nodded.
Zhu Liu: "..."
Zhu Liu quickly patted his mouth and spat it out: "Pah, pah, pah! I also plan to go back alive."
"You should go back!" Lin Jianyu said. "You just said you would die, and you might really die."
“I’ve already spat it out.” He even slapped himself in the face for it.
"As everyone knows, there's no point in spitting out what a jinx says."
"Stop cursing me." After saying that, Zhu Liu cursed her again, "You jinx."
"What were your thoughts when you named the temple?" Lin Jianyu asked a question she had always wanted to ask.
"What's wrong with Guanming?" Zhuliu asked.
“The Crow Temple!” Lin Jianyu said. “Everyone in our sect has a jinxed mouth, it must be thanks to the temple’s name.”
"If I remember correctly, our sect is called Wuyai Temple." What the hell is Wuyai Temple?
"That's right, it's the Crow Temple."
Zhu Liu: "..."
Okay, that sounds a lot like the Crow Temple.
"Homophones are harmful."
“I remember my master saying that our sect is called Wuya Temple because the sea of suffering is boundless,” Yun Dan said.
"Is the sea of suffering boundless? Does that mean we should turn back to the shore?" Lin Jianyu asked.
“No,” Yun Dan shook his head. “It’s endless suffering.”
"Why choose such an... unlucky name?" Lin Jianyu asked, puzzled.
"I don't know," Yun Dan said. "My master said that our grandmaster had a knot in his heart, which brought him endless pain. That's why the Wuya Temple came into being."
"It feels very unlucky." Even more unlucky than the homonym "Crow Temple". "Why don't we call back and ask our senior uncle to change the name of the temple to 'Auspicious Temple'?"
“If my master would listen to you, I’ll cut off Zhu Liu’s head for you,” Yun Dan said.
Zhu Liu: "???"
Whose head?
"Why don't you listen to me? I'm the sect leader," Lin Jianyu said.
"As everyone knows, the position of sect leader in our sect is merely a title, without any real power," Yun said with a faint smile.
“They still wield some real power,” Zhu Liu said. “For example, they have the right to remain silent.”
Lin Jianyu: "..."
It's better not to be the sect leader at all.
"Once I find my master, I will return the position of sect leader to him."
Unable to persuade Yun Dan and the others to leave, Lin Jianyu could only learn as quickly as possible how to use her master's bloodline power so that she could find her master sooner.
However, using the power of bloodline is not something she can learn quickly if she wants to. She studied all night but didn't learn anything. The next day, she lay flat on Qianli's back.
Well, before, she had to hold onto Lu Jiao's legs tightly when she sat on Qianli's back, but now she can lie on it and sleep without fear. Occasionally, she even dares to jump off herself, because in the past few days, Lu Jiao would throw her off Qianli's back from time to time. He's just crazy.
She couldn't beat him, so she could only learn to enjoy it, treating it as skydiving training and indulging in the thrill of being a pilot. Anyway, he wouldn't let her really die; at most, he'd make her fall flat on her face.
