Song Yu woke up suddenly, although he didn't know why he was still awake. It was obvious that he had lost consciousness when he was controlling the female cultivator to approach him.
He first observed his surroundings and found himself ten meters away from the entrance of a cave. He was lying in a pile of hay. There was no one else in the cave, and there was a fire that was about to burn out.
Song Yu tried to move, and then he felt severe pain all over his body. Even though he was already accustomed to pain, Song Yu couldn't help but groan in pain.
"You'd better not move. Many bones in your body are broken. Although I have given you some pills, such serious injuries still require some rest before they can heal."
A cold female voice was heard. Song Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slim figure walking out of the darkness of the cave. She was wearing a purple gauze dress and holding a bunch of branches in her arms. Finally, there was a small face that was familiar to him.
"It's you?" Song Yu said. He was familiar with this face. This was the female cultivator who had fallen to the ground and was controlled by him before.
"Are you surprised?" Yan Baibai said, throwing the dry firewood in his arms aside, and then adding new firewood to the fire that was about to go out.
"I didn't expect you to save me." Song Yu said honestly: "Looking at your expression, you should have known that I was controlling you. I thought you would..."
"Kill you?" Yan Baibai continued Song Yu's words.
"Well, this is the worst ending I can think of. The best ending is that you ignore me and leave." Song Yu nodded honestly and spoke his mind.
"Shouldn't the best ending be that I come to the rescue, just like the current situation?" Yan Baibai suddenly laughed and waited for Song Yu's reply with interest.
Unfortunately, Song Yu didn't respond, but fell silent. Yan Baibai watched him and felt that he must be lost in some bad memories.
Song Yu was truly lost in memories, thinking back to the past. He had encountered so many things that he could no longer believe he had such good luck. It wasn't that simple, everything was a blessing and a curse, just like this time when he was framed and obtained the ancient book, and because of the ancient book, he was hunted down and fell off a cliff, and then because of falling off a cliff, he met this female monk.
"My name is Song Yu. What's your fairy's name?" Song Yu suddenly spoke.
"Yan Baibai, a swordsman." Yan Baibai also honestly said his name.
"Sword cultivator?" Song Yu seemed a little surprised that the seemingly weak girl in front of him was a sword cultivator. He immediately felt that his reaction was too strange and quickly explained, "I didn't mean anything else. I'm a talisman cultivator. I rarely see sword cultivators, so I acted a little surprised."
"So you're a talisman practitioner!" Yan Baibai looked at Song Yu in surprise, and continued, "I usually draw talismans, but they're just miasma-removing and blasting talismans, which aren't very powerful. And you can actually control other people's bodies, that's incredible!"
Song Yu didn't expect to receive such praise, and judging from her expression, it was from the heart. She was very puzzled and asked: "Aren't you angry?"
Song Yu felt that if he was being manipulated by someone else, Yan Baibai would definitely not react the way he did now.
"Why are you angry? I accidentally got poisoned by a flower and was lying there unable to move. If you hadn't come over, I don't know what I would have done. Logically speaking, you saved my life, so I saved yours, so we're even."
Yan Baibai smiled at Song Yu, hoping that this would ease his guard. Yes, Yan Baibai could sense it the entire time. Even though Song Yu seemed to be speaking to her calmly, his back was tense and one hand was hidden in his sleeve. Yan Baibai was certain that if she made any aggressive move, Song Yu would be able to strike back.
After hearing what Yan Baibai said, Song Yu was indeed much more relaxed. He actually wanted to ask Yan Baibai directly what her purpose was in saving him, but he was afraid of angering her. He was not in a very good condition now and was no match for Yan Baibai at all.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. When I went to collect firewood, I saw a few people wearing the same clothes as you looking for someone. I think they were looking for you." Yan Baibai said, "But I don't know what you were thinking, so I didn't alert them. If you want to go back, I can help you call for help."
"No need. They are here to hunt me down." Song Yu looked at Yan Baibai. He pondered for a long time and finally, as if he had made a decision, he told Yan Baibai about his situation. "I am an outer disciple of the Lingfu Sect. I originally thought that through this secret realm trial, I would be appreciated by the elders of the inner sect and accepted into the inner sect. Fairy, you should also know that the resources of inner and outer disciples are ultimately very different. Unfortunately, I accidentally offended the eldest brother of the inner sect, and they wanted to kill me in the secret realm."
Song Yu did not tell others that he had obtained the secret treasure "Source Talisman", after all, human heart is the thing that cannot stand the test of scrutiny.
Yan Baibai knew through the system that Song Yu had not told the whole story, but she would not say anything more. After all, if it were her, she would definitely not tell this to a stranger she just met.
"Fairy Yan Baibai, can I ask you for a favor?" Song Yu said hesitantly, "I don't know if you need these things, but I would like to ask you to do your best to protect me for a while. Of course, if it really comes to a life-or-death moment, you can abandon me."
Song Yu took out his storage ring, eliminated his own aura, and handed it to Yan Baibai.
"This is all I have, please don't despise it, fairy." Song Yu held up the ring and presented it to Yan Baibai.
