Chapter 298 Do I look like a fool to you?
The young apprentice next to him trembled, not daring to interrupt.
He didn't dare say it, but he could tell at a glance that the Ling family was not simple.
Only the master truly believed in them.
What kind of good family would be willing to be exiled but not go to the place of exile?
After Yun Zhao finished applying the eye drops, he asked, "Where are they now? As far as I know,
They were supposed to be exiled to villages near Liang Town, so why did they become your disciples?
Guiguzi was displeased and immediately told Ling Xuerou her location.
"She's in Ghost Valley! I've raised this family of ungrateful wretches for nothing!"
He said through gritted teeth.
Yun Zhao and the others were speechless. The young apprentice who was applying the medicine to him poked him hard.
"Ouch! What's wrong with you, you little medicine apprentice? You're such a useless piece of trash who doesn't even know how to apply medicine!"
He yelled and started cursing.
The young medicine boy got angry and backed away while still holding the medicine.
"I'm useless. It seems your body can heal itself. Perfect, let's save the medicine for the common people!"
"Hey, you little medicine apprentice, why are you getting angry just because your senior is teaching you a few things?"
Guiguzi was seriously injured, and if he did not receive treatment, he might develop a chronic illness.
"If someone kindly applies medicine to you and you don't appreciate it, you can't blame others."
If it weren't for questioning him, why would Junior Uncle waste medicinal herbs?
"You're not famous, so who would know where Guigu is?"
Yun Zhao said irritably.
This infuriated Guiguzi.
"You little brat, why are you resorting to personal attacks? Guigu is Guigu Mountain! Everyone in the area knows that! You're just ignorant!"
Oh... this mountain really exists?
Yun Zhao looked at Xu Ming with a puzzled expression.
Xu Ming has been in charge of Jishetang in Lingnan for ten years, but he has never heard of the name Guigushan.
He shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
The young apprentice beside him raised his hand tremblingly.
"My master was referring to Guxia Mountain."
That's how Yun Zhao found out.
There is a valley in Lingnan, whose terrain resembles a box, sealing its contents inside.
Because of the dense miasma inside, it is often shrouded in thick fog during the day, hence the name Guxia Mountain.
Why did you change someone's name?
But she remembered that in her previous life, the Ghost Sect was located in Jiangnan.
How did we end up at Guxia Mountain?
"However, the miasma there is too thick, so we've already decided to move."
The young apprentice continued.
Yun Zhao then understood.
It seems the miasma was too severe, and people couldn't bear living there for long, so they moved.
No wonder Ling Xuerou wanted to go in.
Lord He is surely hunting down the Ling family members now. Once caught, they will face the crime of having their entire family executed.
Guiguzi must have installed many traps inside; it would be very dangerous to go in and capture people.
If we can force her to come out, that would be good.
So what do you plan to do now?
Yun Zhao stared at Guiguzi, wishing he would shout "Expel him from the sect!" right now.
"Plan? I plan to kill her! Daring to use me, she's got a death wish! Release me now, and I'll kill her for you!"
Do I look like an idiot to you?
Guiguzi harmed so many people; a sentence of execution in the autumn would be too lenient.
"Then at least make me expel her from the sect!"
Guiguzi was like a child who hadn't grown up; he would bite back even if a dog bit him.
"It's impossible for you to leave now, but it's possible to have your apprentice go back and help."
Yun Zhao turned to look at his little apprentice with a smile.
The young apprentice nodded repeatedly.
"Master, I can help you!"
"Heh, so you're letting him go or not, huh?"
Guiguzi turned his head away unhappily.
Whether he agrees or not, it's impossible to release him.
Xu Ming handed it over to the officials of Liang Town, and the young apprentice embarked on his journey to Guxia Mountain.
Before leaving, Yun Zhao avoided everyone and gave his little apprentice a pill alone.
"If you help me hold her off at the mountain pass, I will give you the antidote and plead with Lord He on your behalf so that you can make amends."
The young apprentice looked at the little dumpling that hadn't even reached his waist yet, and couldn't help but feel fear.
He turned his face away and nervously rubbed the hem of his clothes with both hands.
"If I help you, will I be spared from death?"
He didn't want to die; he had younger siblings at home.
If he dies, how will his young child survive?
"The crime you committed is not punishable by death. Try to make amends and seek a lighter sentence."
"Thank you, Miss Yun Zhao!"
The young apprentice immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.
Watching his departing figure, Yun Zhao sighed wearily.
Her and Ling Xuerou's rebirth led Guiguzi to commit such evil deeds at this time.
Fortunately, it was discovered early, and fortunately, he wasn't as insane as he was in his previous life.
Otherwise, who knows how many more people would have died.
It's hard to say whether her rebirth is a blessing or a curse.
Suddenly, a heavy pressure came from above.
Yun Zhao struggled to lift his eyes and look up.
It is Zhuge Yue.
"Why is the little kid looking so gloomy?"
Yun Zhao hugged Zhuge Yue's leg and tilted her head up to ask, "Sister Yue, when do you plan to set off?"
Zhuge Yue's eyes darkened, knowing that she was reluctant to part with him.
She bent down and hugged Yun Zhao: "After celebrating your birthday, we've decided to follow General Yan back to the capital from afar."
She had to personally eliminate the injustice done to the Zhuge family.
Whether one lives or dies, it's all fate.
If I survive, I will stay by Yun Zhao's side and protect her for the rest of my life to repay her kindness.
However, she didn't say it directly.
A vow that cannot be fulfilled is a joke, and there's no need to say more.
"Hmm... Sister Yue, shall we go back for lunch? I miss Mom and Dad a little."
She was sick a few days ago, and she still feels like the root of the illness hasn't been cleared up.
"Okay, you go to sleep. I'll go rent an oxcart to go back. Hua Hua, come along."
Zhuge Yue pressed her head onto his shoulder and called for the tiger to leave.
Liangzhen was not wealthy; there were no horse-drawn carriages available for rent, and oxcarts with roofs were considered quite good.
The rented space is right next to the largest restaurant, Fuyun Restaurant.
When Lianyin returned from her errand, the enormous tiger immediately caught her attention.
"Miss Yun Zhao?"
She strode forward, and Zhuge Yue turned to look at her.
"What's up?"
Zhuge Yue did not go to the dock with Yun Zhao last time and did not know Lian Yin.
Lian Yin secretly sized up the person in front of her, then raised her hands in a fist salute: "I am Lian Yin, a friend of Miss Yun Zhao. Is she alright?"
“Ge Yue left too early today, she's probably tired.”
Zhuge Yue lowered her eyes slightly; Yun Zhao had already fallen asleep on her shoulder.
"I see. Why don't you let Miss rest at Fuyun Restaurant for a while?"
Lianyin did not explicitly state her relationship with Fuyun Restaurant, but Fuyun Restaurant has a partnership with Yunzhao.
If this Miss Ge is acquainted with Yun Zhao, she would know something about the restaurant.
Zhuge Yue pondered for a moment and asked, "Does the restaurant have carriages available for rent?"
"Yes, please come with me, Miss Ge."
Lianyin gestured for them to proceed.
Zhuge Yue then followed her to the backyard.
Not long after, Wei Jingchen came from the front yard.
Seeing the two of them, he was quite surprised and quickly walked forward.
"Sister Yue, what's wrong with Zhao Zhao?"
