Su Hu was full of doubts and disagreements, but he did not publicly refute Su Jin.
Han Qing was also somewhat surprised, after all, the Liuli Society was the origin of Su Jinxia and the foundation of the Su family, while the Guying Society was much less close to Su Jinxia.
Su Jin glanced at the sky outside; it was already quite late.
"That's enough for today. Let's go eat and continue tomorrow."
Everyone nodded; there were some things they needed to think about further.
That night, Han Qing and Yue Ziqi went to rest.
Su Jin stayed alone in her courtyard watching the snow.
It snowed again, a lot of snow, and soon I was covered in snow.
The snow crunched underfoot, but Su Jin didn't turn around. She knew who it was; she had been waiting.
Su Hu gazed at that stunning beauty amidst the snow, his heart pounding fiercely.
Aren't you cold?
Su Jin turned around with a smile and shook her head. "It's alright. A little cold will clear your head."
Su Hu sighed, "You knew I was coming to see you?"
"Um."
"Then why? Doing this will weaken the Ruri Society." Su Hu, as always, asked directly.
At the meeting, he didn't say it because he didn't want to disobey the will of the Glass Master in front of everyone, but now they are not only master and servant, but also friends and family.
Su Jin stood up and looked at Su Hu, her eyes dark and unfathomable, revealing a depth that Su Hu could neither fathom nor understand.
"Brother Tiger, the Liuli Society has been established for a hundred years. Have you discovered anything?"
Su Hu was puzzled.
Su Jinxia slightly averted her gaze, looking towards the dark woods in the distance, her voice distant and deep, "The Liuli Society has never had a long-lived person."
Su Hu's eyes widened instantly, and he murmured, "What do you mean?"
He seemed to be asking a question, but in reality, he had already considered a possibility.
This possibility has been rumored for some time.
Sometimes, disciples of the Liuli Society die mysteriously at a young age, and people speculate that it may be the result of the backlash from the Zi Gu.
Whenever such voices are heard, the organization steps in to suppress them, ensuring that everyone's deaths are unrelated to the Glass Gu.
Over time, people accepted it.
But why would Su Jinxia bring up the topic of longevity?
Su Jin spoke softly, her voice sounding ethereal in the cold wind and snow.
"The first Master of the Glazed Tile Society died at the young age of twenty-eight. Every subsequent Master has also lived to no more than forty. Although the disciples of the Glazed Tile Society can live a little longer, it is still difficult for them to live a long life. Very few of them live past sixty."
"Is it because of the Glazed Gu?" Su Hu asked incredulously.
Su Jin gave him a definite answer, "Yes!"
"Are you sure?" Su Hu still couldn't accept it.
If so, what exactly has the Liuli Society been doing all these years under the guise of protecting the Su family?
To take someone's life?
Su Jin sighed inwardly, her heart heavy. "As you know, every Glazed Gu Master receives the inheritance of the Gu Mother. This is clearly recorded in the inheritance: the power of the Glazed Gu comes from life force and will consume the host's lifespan."
"However, the inheritance also contains the last instructions left by the first Lord of Glazed Glass: keep this secret to the death and do not cause panic."
Therefore, this secret is unknown to anyone and has even been deliberately hidden.
However, Su Jinxia did not think so. Although she had to use this power in order to survive and seek revenge, she did not want to pass it on.
They also felt there was no need to pass it down.
“Brother Tiger, I will no longer create Glass Gu. I will also find a way to eliminate the Gu without harming the host. I want Glass Village and the Su family to return to a normal life, instead of living in cramped quarters here.”
“The children in the village have always longed for the outside world. I want them to live openly and honestly in the vast world, just like everyone else.”
Su Hu fell silent, surprised that Su Jin had thought so far ahead.
Without a doubt, Su Jin's idea was more beneficial to the future of Liuli Village.
"But the Liuli Society has been powerful for a hundred years thanks to the Liuli Gu. Without the Liuli Gu, can it really survive peacefully? Moreover, the world is in chaos now, without any laws. Can we really survive if we enter the world?"
Su Jin walked gently to Su Hu, took his arm, and her gaze was firm, giving people a sense of reassurance.
"Believe me!"
Su Hu's eyes welled up with tears. "Okay, I believe you. You still have me. I will always stand behind you and support you."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After Su Hu left, Su Jinxia was not sleepy. Taking advantage of the beautiful snow scene, she went out of the courtyard and wandered around, carefully considering everything she needed to do next.
Han Qing had somehow gotten behind Su Jinxia, and Su Jinxia only snapped out of her daze when he got close.
She patted her chest. "You scared me."
Han Qing laughed loudly, "You're just too engrossed in your thoughts."
Su Jin puffed out her cheeks. "You're out for a walk too?"
Han Qing said helplessly, "I don't have your interest. I came here specifically to see you."
As he spoke, Han Qing took out a brand new booklet from his pocket.
"This is the newly revised Lone Shadow Heart Sutra, which has greatly improved the problem of qi deviation. I think the disciples of the Liuli Society can also practice it, and they will become stronger."
In fact, everyone in Liuli Village can learn it and gain the ability to protect themselves.
Su Jinxia accepted the Lonely Shadow Heart Sutra, feeling a warmth in her heart, and softly said, "Thank you."
Han Qing gazed at Su Jin with deep affection, then gently shook his head. "I should be the one thanking you. My parents have let go of their hatred, and the Lonely Shadow Society will only get better and better. All of this is because I met you."
Su Jin didn't stand on ceremony, gave Han Qing a sweet smile, and carefully put away the Lone Shadow Heart Sutra.
All their feelings are unspoken; they will become the most trustworthy partners.
After several days, Su Jin and his entourage finally finalized a general plan and initial actions.
Han Qing had an official position and could not leave for too long, so he hurriedly returned after everything was discussed.
After Han Qing left, Prince Chu Heng of the Southern Kingdom, still unwilling to give up, came again.
Although he suspected that Liuli Master was targeting him, the help from Liuli Society was more important than saving face.
So he endured it.
This time, Chu Heng specially chose a master to accompany him.
However, the journey was smooth, and they did not encounter any strange creatures, nor did the disciple who led them up the mountain disappear.
The experts seemed to have no place to use their skills.
But for some reason, this road was unusually long. Chu Heng remembered that the last time he came here, the road was not this long or this steep!
They're not going up the mountain anymore, they're climbing it.
Exhausted and pale, Chu Heng couldn't help but ask, "Did we go the wrong way? Why aren't we there yet?"
The disciple replied, "We haven't gone the wrong way!"
"But I didn't take this long when I came last time!" Chu Heng said angrily, suspecting that the Liuli Society was still targeting him.
The disciple politely and earnestly explained, "Perhaps you are too weak after your serious illness, which is why it feels so far."
