Lu Yanhuai stared at her: "Little girl, is it appropriate for you to pry into the secrets of my Wolf Sect like this?"
Xiao Changle was prepared: "I was just about to say that as payment for saving me, I promise you that I can grant you one request in the future, but it cannot violate my principles."
“Shen Fuguang has already paid the payment.”
"But I cannot forget your kindness."
Lu Yanhuai was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled: "I really like your personality. If Shen Fuguang hadn't already decided on you, I would have wanted you to be my successor."
"Poaching someone's talent is shameful!" Xiao Changle said sternly.
"Just kidding, just kidding."
Lu Yanhuai smiled and said, "However, what you said about hearing about it is true. If it weren't for the inheritance, how do you think I could have reached the ninth level of cultivation by my thirties?"
Xiao Changle's eyes lit up: "Such an amazing lineage!"
Lu Yanhuai's smile faded, and he looked at her solemnly:
"Xiao Chang Le, this is nothing to be happy about. Any unusual gain often comes at an unimaginable price."
"Like the secrets you carry."
"For example, mine."
Xiao Changle said with a smile, "You've seen the price I paid. I fused with the [Ten Thousand Thunder Technique], but my essence was severely damaged. Without you, I wouldn't live for more than a few years. What about yours?"
Chang Le, who was watching from the sidelines, was stunned.
A fusion of the [Ten Thousand Thunder Technique]?!
At nine years old, had he already fused with Ye Buqi's superpowers?
Did Ye Buqi grant her supernatural abilities before he died in that fire?
So what about the gift from the Chuihu Secret Realm later?
Was it just her imagination?
Or did Ye Buqi, existing in some form, reappear and awaken the ability that was once bestowed upon him?
Also, didn't she only gain the ability to fuse after her ability evolved in the Chuihu Secret Realm?
Over there, Xiao Changle received Lu Yanhuai's answer:
"The price I paid was my life."
"Those who successfully pass on their skills will have their lifespan halved."
Xiao Changle suddenly stood up and stared at him in astonishment.
Lu Yanhuai said helplessly, "What are you doing? I'm not going to be buried anytime soon, what's with that expression?"
With my physical condition, I should have lived to be over a hundred years old without any problem, and even if I were half that, I'd still be in my fifties or sixties, more than enough... Why are you crying?"
Lu Yanhuai was startled.
Xiao Changle was also stunned.
She raised her hand to touch her face and realized that it was covered in tears.
She pouted, her voice trembling with tears: "I don't know I'm crying, I'm just... I'm afraid of hearing about death."
Lu Yanhuai sighed softly, stood up, draped his coat over her shoulders, and patted her back.
"Don't be afraid, I won't scare you. Okay, Lele, you should go back to sleep now."
As they walked him to the door, Xiao Changle suddenly tugged at his sleeve: "Lu Yanhuai."
"Um?"
The little girl looked up, her expression serious: "If everyone is going to die, I want to go before you. I don't want to be left there alone."
Lu Yanhuai gently tapped her head: "Nonsense, you have a long life ahead of you. Go to sleep."
Chang Le felt his body regain consciousness, but the surrounding scene distorted for a moment.
She knew that the memories were coming to an end, and she had taken control of her body.
"Lu Yanhuai," Chang Le called out to him again.
Lu Yanhuai patiently responded.
He has a very good personality, and Chang Le has never seen him lose his temper.
Chang Le laughed, his tone serious: "Brother Lu, you can't die before me again. Let's call it a deal."
Lu Yanhuai was stunned.
Unable to respond to these words that transcended memory.
As soon as Chang Le finished speaking, the screen collapsed rapidly.
As consciousness returned, I heard heavy eyelids and Kulei's voice:
"Lele? Lele! Wake up, please, baby, wake up!"
Chang Le opened his eyes and found that it was still dark.
The two and a half months that Xiao Changle spent at Wolf Pack were over in the memories, but only a little over two hours had passed in reality.
"How could I..."
When Chang Le opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was a little hoarse.
Kulei breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw her wake up: "You had a fever, you know?"
Chang Le was stunned for a moment before realizing that Bai Xie and the others had woken up, and Iris and Wan Buxun had also come over.
She raised her hand and touched her forehead.
Wow! Almost cooked!
"Don't move, let me see." Bai Xie reached out and lightly touched Chang Le's brow with his fingertips, then withdrew his hand after a moment.
Chang Le noticed that he seemed hesitant to speak. After looking around, she realized that the Qianji team had also been woken up, but they were quite tactful and didn't come over once they determined that the matter wasn't serious.
She said, "Brother Bai, you can speak freely, there are no outsiders here. Do I have a fever?"
Bai Xie's expression darkened slightly, and he shook his head: "No, just now your brain's energy was disordered, and your mental power was also scattered in your consciousness. If you don't wake up, your mental power will not be able to be re-condensed..."
Without him saying anything, the others' expressions changed.
If one's mental energy cannot be concentrated, it's equivalent to the disappearance of thought. Wouldn't that turn one into a fool with only the instinct to survive?
"Lele, what happened?" Kulei asked. "You suddenly developed a fever and started crying. I called you for a long time before you woke up."
Chang Le was deep in thought.
Could it be that the process of recovering memories has triggered old injuries in the brain, leading to this situation?
Chang Le said, "I didn't feel anything, I just saw some things from the past."
Bai Xie frowned: "I see three seals in your mind, two of which have already loosened."
"Three paths?" Chang Le was stunned.
