Upon hearing this, the nun instructed the young nun to steer the boat to shore. She then stepped out of the cabin, went to the bow, and said softly, "Don't worry, young lady. We've been lingering on the river and haven't gone far."
Seeing the nun's composed and compassionate demeanor, and her thoughtful consideration, Su Jin felt ashamed and lowered her eyes slightly, saying, "I was rude. My friend is in critical condition and needs my help... I..."
Four days, a full four days, people can die.
The anxiety in Su Jinxia's heart overwhelmed her like a surging river.
The nun said, "Everything in this world has its destiny, so please don't worry. But you, by raising the Gu with your own body and going against the will of Heaven, will shorten your own lifespan."
Su Jin's lower body stiffened, her face appearing even paler in the moonlight, as if she were a wisp of transparent light, about to be scattered by the wind.
That's right, the Glass Gu has side effects.
All its power comes from the host's life force; the more power it uses, the faster the host's life force dissipates.
None of the previous masters of the Glazed Tile have lived past forty.
Even among the disciples of the Liuli Society, none lived to a ripe old age.
This is a secret known only to the Master of the Liuli Society; even the disciples of the Liuli Society are unaware of it.
Lu Ming is known as a divine doctor, but he couldn't even detect the Gu poison in Su Jin's lower body.
However, the nun in front of her easily knew the truth and directly grasped the essence of the Glass Gu.
"It seems you know that you almost lost your life because you overused its power."
The nun sighed softly, her voice carrying a distant echo.
"Humans are born with many entanglements and obsessions, and they give everything for them, not knowing that letting go is the way home. Girl, why don't you come with me, and you may have a chance to survive."
Exhausted, Su Jin knelt down softly. "Master, I can't let go. I used to think that life was just about living, about living desperately. But I later realized that's not how it is. Everyone dies eventually, but it depends on how you die."
I can die, but my parents can't die, Tiger can't die, and Shen Qianxue can't die either!
Even if it means death, Su Jinxia will clear away all obstacles for them!
The nun showed no regret, as if she had expected this.
"Although we met by chance, I know you are a good child. If you remember me in the future, come to Leien Temple to find me."
Su Jin looked up and saw the nun's composed demeanor, and her heart gradually calmed down.
She tried to open her sea of consciousness to check on Nie Qingyi and the situation of the Liuli Society.
Unexpectedly, the sea of consciousness could not be opened.
She quietly clenched her fingers, forcing herself to calm down.
Everything will be alright.
Definitely not!
"Master, we've reached the shore," the young nun said.
Su Jinxia used the boat plank to stand up and jumped ashore.
Unable to express his gratitude in words, Su Jin could only bow deeply to the abbess.
"Girl, slow down. Be careful with the wound on your back; it might reopen," the young nun warned worriedly.
Thank you.
Su Jin smiled at the little nun as she looked down, then noticed the straw rope on the bed.
"Could I borrow this rope?"
The young nun looked at the abbess, who nodded.
Su Jin took the rope and ran away quickly.
"Hey! Slow down!" the little nun called out in frustration. "Did she even listen to me?"
The nun was also somewhat helpless, and said softly, "She didn't."
She didn't listen at all.
The following morning, Su Jin finally returned to the narrow passage.
She found a sturdy foothold, tied one end of the rope to the foothold and the other end to herself, and slowly walked down the cliff.
The tension in her body undoubtedly aggravated the injury on her back; she could even hear the sound of her skin tearing apart.
Even she, who was never afraid of pain, felt the pain.
After being pampered in Phoenix Pavilion for several months, she is becoming increasingly unable to endure hardship or pain.
Fortunately, Su Jinxia still possessed internal strength and was light-footed, so she arrived at the large rock where Mai Zizi was without much effort.
However, the person disappeared.
Su Jinxia was filled with anxiety, praying that Mai Zizi had been rescued and hadn't fallen, as she continued walking down.
She had to go down and check to make sure Maizizi hadn't fallen.
As they walked, they ran out of rope, and the cliff was still very deep.
Su Jin could only untie the rope and rely on his arm strength and the sword in his hand to continue down. Only when he saw the bottom of the cliff did he use his lightness skill to fly down.
Footsteps were scattered at the bottom of the cliff, and the weeds were trampled badly, indicating that many people had been here.
However, apart from the bloodstains left by Su Jin before she left, there were no signs of injury to anyone else.
Su Jin thought to herself: Phoenix Pavilion will definitely send someone to look for Mai Zizi; perhaps she has already been rescued.
So, if Maizizi is rescued, where will she go?
Su Jinxia left while pondering her next move, completely oblivious to the fact that her clothes on her back were stained red.
As the sun set, Su Jin walked to the town closest to the narrow passage.
If Maizizi is rescued, she will probably go to one of two places.
The first step is to return to Moon City.
The second option is to go to the nearest town to recuperate.
Su Jin first went to the town to inquire, thinking that if there was no news of Mai Zizi, she would then go to Moon City.
Although Su Jin was extremely worried about her parents' current situation, she had to ensure Mai Zizi's safety first.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Shen Qianxue.
Fortunately, the town was small, and Mai Zizi and her large group were very conspicuous when they entered, so Su Jinxia quickly found out about them.
Inside the clinic, Mai Zizi had rested for a day and a night and had just woken up.
Shen Xi was feeding her porridge.
"Have you found Su Jinxia?" The first thing Mai Zizi asked was about Su Jinxia's whereabouts.
Shen Xi shook his head.
"Didn't Brother Qianxue come?"
“I haven’t informed him yet.” Shen Xi said coldly.
