Chapter 469: Not courting death is his last act of stubbornness
The little girl continued to eat by herself and didn't notice the change in the man in red at all.
…
The Beining Imperial City has now been renamed Qi City and belongs to the Great Zhou.
"Princess, we have been searching for almost two months, and we don't know how the little princess is doing now."
Bu Ruo continued flipping through the book: "Bu Bu is fine. I talked to her for a while yesterday. She has food and drink now. Apart from missing her parents, everything else is fine. She hasn't suffered any hardship or pain."
While making a dress for the little girl, Guo Lu said, "Little Divine Doctor Jin has been acting like a madman lately. Without Master Cen Nan to take him with him, he goes looking for cracks on his own. It's said that the secret guards who follow him have to rescue him several times a day."
Bu Ruo snorted lightly: "With his brain, he can't even tell which is northwest even if he wants to drink the northwest wind. Not seeking death is his last stubbornness."
Guo Lu smiled and said, "Who knows, maybe Doctor Jin will actually find it by accident in the end?"
Bu Ruo also laughed: "That's really possible. By the way, how is that woman doing recently?"
Guo Lu suppressed a smile, remembering something. "The True God has been... quite depressed lately. Sometimes he wanders around the city, not knowing what he's reading. Lately, he's been reading a new storybook while walking around. I heard he's been so engrossed in it a few times that he's even bumped into a tree..."
Bu Ruo: ...
Two days later, Bu Ruo, who was reading, stood up suddenly and said, "I think I know which direction the crack is."
Just then…
"Princess~Princess~It's bad, Princess."
When Bu Ruo opened the door, she saw the secret guard who was protecting Jin Congcong running towards her with sweat all over his forehead and an anxious look on his face. He even used his lightness skills to the extreme and only regretted that he could not fly.
"What happened?"
"Princess...Princess, it's Divine Doctor Jin. Divine Doctor Jin has fallen into a trap."
Doctor Du, who was roasting melon seeds for the little girl in the courtyard, didn't even look up: "Did he die from the fall? If not, bring him back."
"Really? I've been in Ruo'er's yard every day just to get the latest news about the crack, but what happened? There's no news about the crack, but news about him is everywhere."
"Dead... not dead, but I can't get out."
The secret guard swallowed and continued, "Jin Xiaoshen has fallen into a pit more than once in the past two months, but this time is really different. This time the pit is bottomless and there is no way to pull him out."
"The five of us secret guards could only use our internal energy to prevent him from falling, but we couldn't get him up. It was as if something was pulling at Doctor Jin from below."
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes: "Is it in the southeast?"
"Yes, it's on the southeastern outskirts of the city. It takes half a day to get here by carriage, but less than an hour if you use Qinggong or a fast horse."
"Over a hundred years ago, there was a house there. It seems a wealthy businessman built it, but it later became abandoned for unknown reasons. Not only was it abandoned, but the locals found themselves getting lost if they went near it, so gradually no one went there. This information was brought to light by an elderly local man who asked his son to register it. Few people know about the house now, and General Di asked many people but they didn't know."
"The young doctor Jin left early after hearing about it. But strangely enough, he found the house right away. He didn't have to struggle at all and didn't get lost. He just followed the general direction the old man gave him."
"My subordinates had been secretly following Divine Doctor Jin around the house without any problems, thinking it was just an ordinary residence. But then Divine Doctor Jin suddenly started smashing things up... and in the end, he even leaned against the rockery, holding the hairpin the princess always wore, and started crying."
"He cried for about half an hour. Just as Divine Doctor Jin was about to leave, the ground suddenly sank and a deep pit the size of a well appeared. Then Divine Doctor Jin fell in. We tried to pull him up but couldn't pull him out. That's why we couldn't come back to ask for the princess."
Bu Ruo closed his eyes and said, "Get ready for the fast horses. We have found the crack."
When Doctor Du heard this, he stood up and said, "I'll go too!"
Bu Ruo nodded and quickly left the inn with a few people: "By the way, where is my master now?"
Bi'er shook her head: "I don't know. The True God also went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."
"Alright, send someone here and wait for her to come back and tell her we've found the rift so she can be prepared."
An hour had passed when Bu Ruo arrived on horseback. Before they even entered the house, they heard a woman's mocking voice.
"Oh, I've been walking in this world for so many years and I've never seen anyone as unlucky as you. If I hadn't sealed my divine power, I would have to take a closer look at what's wrong with you."
"Haven't you guys eaten yet? Hurry up and pull him up~"
The secret guards were almost going crazy watching the woman sitting on the stone bench next to them, chewing fruit and making sarcastic remarks. "God, it's not that we don't want to pull Doctor Jin up, it's that we really can't."
"Jin Xiaoshen is like a heavy weight. The internal energy of his subordinates is like a stone sinking into the ocean, with no effect at all. Now we have to rely on brute force to prevent him from falling."
"This subordinate...can you please ask the True God to help me rescue the little Divine Doctor Jin? The little Divine Doctor grew up with the princess, and now the little princess and the prince have not been found. If anything happens to the little Divine Doctor Jin again, the princess will be even more anxious."
The woman didn't even raise her eyelids: "I can't save him. I came here with sealed divine power, but I'm still no match for you. Don't worry, he won't die. Your princess will be here soon. Just hold on for a while."
The secret guards had no choice but to continue holding Jin Congcong tightly and not dare to let go at all.
Bu Ruo, standing at the door, was so angry that he laughed: "You will die if you help them rescue the people!"
The woman turned her face away guiltily: "I can't die. I have to go back after using my divine power. I don't want to go back. I haven't had enough fun yet and want to stay for a few more days."
Bu Ruo said nothing, and waved his hand to pull out someone who had fallen into the pit.
"Ruo... Ruo'er... Wuuwuwu... I thought I would never see you again. I don't know what's down there. It's such a deep pit. When I kicked my legs, I kicked down a few stones, but I didn't even hear them fall to the ground."
Bu Ruo walked to the deep pit and looked down, his eyes full of surprise: "It is indeed here."
Someone was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting, "Ruo'er, are you saying there's a crack down there? Is that true? I was wondering why I felt like someone was pulling me down. If I had known earlier, I would have jumped down. This way, maybe I would have been the first to find Bubu."
The woman sneered, "You're making me laugh. What do you think a space rift is? You can just fall wherever you want."
"I guarantee that if you had fallen down just now, not only would you not have been able to reach that plane, but your entire body would have been torn apart, and your soul would have been lost there forever."
