The little mirror was in her sea of consciousness, and the voice was inside the little mirror's body. Fang Ruotang trembled with fright.
What is it?
Could there be a real person living in her sea of consciousness?
He kept calling him "Master."
[Master?]
Fang Ruotang paused, looked at the group of people from Medicine King Valley in front of her, and asked in surprise.
Is he Xun Zhu?
Yes, he is Xun Zhu.
The little mirror paused for a moment before replying, presumably to communicate with the owner of the voice.
Fang Ruotang was truly dumbfounded.
[No, wasn't he dead? Completely annihilated, like a ghost? How could he suddenly explode again? And if he's going to explode, why is he exploding in my mind's eye?]
Xiao Jingzi communicated with Fang Ruotang without hiding anything from her.
Therefore, Gu Yanjin and the other six could hear their conversation and were immediately unsettled when they heard that a man lived in Fang Ruotang's sea of consciousness.
One by one, they eagerly spoke up.
[We're in Medicine King Valley, let's get him out of here quickly.]
[What kind of work are you doing? There was a living person in the storage room, and you only just noticed?]
What use are you? You can't even handle this simple task.
Fortunately, no one had malicious intentions this time. What if next time someone with ill intentions takes her in and harms her within Xiao Liu's consciousness?
Get the person out first.
Fang Ruotang listened to the voices in her mind with a headache. The five men spoke at the same time, like hundreds of ducks quacking together.
This was the first time he had ever seen these distinguished men so noisy, just like ordinary people chatting.
[Don't speak yet, Little Mirror, quickly get Xunzhu out of my mind. He's in my sea of consciousness, and it feels so strange!]
The little mirror paused, then immediately took out a piece of jade.
[He was sealed inside, and there were many others sealed like him. There was a large array inside that was absorbing their souls. Once they were drained, they would be gone. This Xunzhu, I don't know how, suddenly regained consciousness.]
Fang Ruotang didn't rush to take out the jade pendant. She was afraid that if she did, the people from Medicine King Valley would be able to sense it, which was highly likely.
Furthermore, she wanted to find out the whole story first.
Looking for bamboo?
Xunzhu, who was inside the jade pendant, only had a wisp of a soul left, and even her complete memories were gone, but she still responded to her own name.
Whenever he heard someone call his name, he would just keep calling out "Master, Master" like a wandering soul that was about to dissipate.
Fang Ruotang looked at the Valley Master in front of her and had a guess.
"Valley Master, may I ask how long it will take you to refine this pill? Should I wait here for a while, or come back in a few days?"
"I need to prepare some of the ingredients for this pill formula. Please come again in a few days!" the Valley Master replied.
As soon as he spoke, Xunzhu in the jade pendant seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and his soul became a little stronger, constantly calling out "Master, Master".
Fang Ruotang was a little surprised; how could the master and disciple have such a good relationship?
My soul was almost scattered, but just hearing his voice gave me a renewed sense of vitality.
Let me see the story of Xun Zhu.
After Fang Ruotang finished speaking, the small mirror revealed Xun Zhu's life story.
No wonder the reaction was so strong.
He was taken in by the Valley Master when he was just a baby, and the Valley Master raised him little by little, calling him his master, but their relationship was like that of father and son.
Fang Ruotang then went to check on the Valley Master's condition.
Upon learning of Xunzhu's passing, she found herself in a secluded place, reminiscing about him and silently shedding tears. That was... quite sentimental.
After thinking about it, Fang Ruotang decided to let the master and apprentice meet.
[Wait, what's going on with this jade pendant? Why does the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley always call him "Master" when he speaks? Why is there someone inside the jade pendant? Could it be Xun Zhu?]
Fang Ruotang's inner thoughts were heard at just the right time.
Everyone in the hall could hear it. The Valley Master immediately stood up and stared straight at Fang Ruotang.
[It really is Xun Zhu. So his soul is still here. Damn it, what should I do? When I killed Wei Ren Zhenren, I took too many spoils of war. I didn't know this thing was mixed in. If I suddenly bring it out now, will the people of Medicine King Valley become suspicious? Should I just ignore it? Anyway, I saw a large array in the jade pendant that imprisoned Xun Zhu absorbing his soul. Once it's absorbed, he'll dissipate, right?]
Fang Ruotang muttered to herself, pretending not to notice that everyone from Medicine King Valley had an anxious expression.
However, there were too many spoils of war for her to examine closely, which was absolutely true. After all, she had never carefully looked at all the treasures in the small mirror, let alone these that had been confiscated.
She basically just asks Xiao Jingzi for whatever she needs, and he gets it for her. So far, apart from the Spirit Tempering Pill, which Gu Yanjin and the other six didn't prepare because they thought she wouldn't need it, she has almost everything else she needs.
“Then… I’ll come back in a few days?” Fang Ruotang slowly continued the Valley Master’s previous sentence.
He changed his expression in the blink of an eye, saying anxiously yet warmly, "Sect Leader Fang has already gone through a lot of trouble coming and going, why don't you stay in our valley?"
Fang Ruotang asked hesitantly, "Is it convenient? There are many of us, won't it be too much of a disturbance?"
"No, no!" Apart from the Valley Master, everyone else also warmly invited them to stay.
Fang Ruotang didn't put on airs and agreed with a smile.
"Alright, I'll comply."
[It's fine if I stay in Medicine King Valley for now. I'll find an opportunity these next few days to throw this jade pendant out, preferably to have one of the Valley Master's disciples find it, so I can clear myself of any involvement. I don't want to do a good deed and then be suspected.]
Fang Ruotang was also chirping loudly in her heart.
Since she gained control over this mind-reading ability, she has become increasingly adept at using it, to the point that it has almost become her cheat code.
After all, the other party doesn't know that she can control her thoughts. When they hear her thoughts, almost no one will doubt what she says, so she can easily achieve her goals.
Just like now, Medicine King Valley has completely followed her wishes and kept them here. All she needs to do next is hand over Xunzhu and do her a favor, and the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sects will be a natural outcome.
Su Mu settled the group of seven people in the guest courtyard.
Before leaving, he looked at Fang Ruotang several times, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to.
Fang Ruotang pretended to be blind and didn't see anything. She fiddled with her storage ring for a bit and then took out the jade pendant.
Even though she knew that their little house was being watched from all sides, she still shook the jade pendant.
"Xunzhu, is that you inside?"
"Master, Master!"
"What's wrong? Have you gone mad? Why do you only ever call out 'Master' over and over again? Can't you do anything else?"
Fang Ruotang sensed that the aura in a certain place was unstable.
He frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed. Couldn't the Valley Master have hidden himself a little more discreetly?
They were acting like this, and she couldn't even notice, which made her seem so incompetent.
