Chapter 310
Lingwu remained noncommittal.
The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "My master left a message before he went into seclusion: if you come here in person, I will entrust this item to you."
She was holding a ring.
Lingwu did not answer.
Seeing this, the woman sighed inwardly, knowing that if she didn't get a definite answer to this matter, the task entrusted to her by her master would certainly remain unfinished.
He had just spoken: "My rebellious disciple has repeatedly refused to mend his ways, and from this day forward, he is no longer a member of my Xuanqing Sect!"
"Master!"
"Shut up!" the woman snapped, then turned to Ling Wu with a smile and said, "My master also asked me to pass on a message to you."
Lingwu: "Speak."
Woman: "A gentleman's agreement."
Upon hearing this, Ling Wu raised her hand to take it, but without looking at what was inside, she spoke first: "Since he is no longer a member of your Xuanqing Sect, then I will take him away."
The middle-aged woman pursed her lips, her eyes filled with complex emotions, as if she could neither bear it nor speak.
Before she could reply, Ling Wu took the man back to Tianyi Sect and left him to Jingyi to deal with.
Jingyi, who was rubbing her wrist, looked puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?"
“The Xuanqing Sect gave him to me, and I’m giving him to you.” Ling Wu added, “If Senior Sister doesn’t like him, then I’ll give him to Junior Nephew. If Junior Nephew doesn’t like him either…”
Ling Wu paused for a moment, then said, "Then let's send him back to the Xuanqing Sect."
Jingyi's face remained calm at this moment.
She should be surprised, but then she felt that if it were her junior sister, it would be perfectly reasonable.
Before long, Jingyi nodded in agreement, "I'll think about whether I should lock him up to prevent him from going out and harming others."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up again and saw that his junior sister, who was so engrossed in cultivation, had disappeared without a trace.
She lowered her head with a complicated expression, first kicking the man who was restrained, before muttering to herself, "I was so naive before, actually thinking that my junior sister was provoking me."
What merit or ability did she possess to receive repeated help from her junior sister?
Ling Wu, who was leaving, overheard her words. A slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on her lips before she regained her usual indifference.
Then, he concealed his aura and landed in front of a dilapidated thatched hut.
Bai Yu showed signs of waking up; the scars on his face were raised and irregularly twisted at the edges.
The next moment, his eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes.
But his eyes remained lifeless. He sat up after a long while, and reached out to touch his eyes.
He's really blind!
"It will be alright." The woman's indifferent voice rang out, calming the turmoil in Bai Yu's heart.
Amidst the black-robed man's sneers and torment, he pathetically shed tears over this uncomfortable remark.
But knowing this was not the time for sentimentality, he repeatedly asked, "Did you save me? Where am I now? What's your name? How are my family members? Are they alright?"
"The outer disciples of the Tianyi Sect have already had their bodies prepared for burial," Ling Wu answered selectively.
Bai Yu remained silent for a moment, seemingly missing his family, before wiping away the tears in his eyes with his sleeve.
"My name is Bai Yu. I will definitely repay your life-saving grace in the future!"
Ling Wu ignored him and simply tossed him a bottle of pills. "Take one pill a day, and you'll be able to see again in two months."
If he continues to be blind, he'll get used to it. So let him go blind first, then regain his sight, and finally let him go blind again.
Two months later was the ceremony for accepting apprentices. How could he see the ridicule from others if he had no eyes?
Not hearing Ling Wu agree to his promise, Bai Yu felt a sense of frustration.
Indeed, after all, he was nothing more than an ant to her, and the idea of an ant repaying a debt of gratitude was truly laughable to her.
Just as he was completely devastated, a woman's voice softly rang out: "I look forward to that day."
Her voice was beautiful, clear and cool, like a flower that blooms in his hometown every winter and spring.
Even his pale, ashen eyes were now tinged with a glimmer of light.
She actually believed him!
"Hmm!" He nodded, clutching the bottle of pills still imbued with the woman's cool fragrance tightly in his hand.
Ling Wu took a step to leave.
People who have lost their sight often have an unusually sharp sense of hearing.
Bai Yu: "Are you leaving? Could you tell me your name?"
And... will she come to see him again in the future?
Panic rose in Bai Yu's heart as he waited for a reply. He threw off the covers and tried to get out of bed, but he tripped and fell heavily to the ground after only a few steps.
It fell right in front of Lingwu's shoes.
