Su Murong looked at her, unable to hide his admiration: "As expected of the Lord of Freedom, your insight is still so sharp."
"If you want to apologize, you shouldn't come to me. As long as Xin Jifeng doesn't pursue the matter, I can ignore it."
He sneered: "Su Yao, you know very well that with Xin Jifeng's character, he will never let my brother go easily."
"That's what your brother deserves. Why didn't you consider the consequences before hurting someone and blaming them?"
"My brother was confused at the moment. He made the mistake for my sake."
"Coming up with this kind of excuse and expecting people to stop pursuing the matter, there's no such thing as a simple excuse in this world."
"I know...so, I came here with sincerity."
Su Murong slowly raised his right palm, and a magical weapon with a faint golden glow slowly emerged. It looked like jade but not jade, and its shape was like a coiled snake. In the center, a crimson gem shone brightly.
"This is Qingqiu's mountain guardian weapon, the 'Locking Abyss Scale Seal'."
His tone was calm, with a hint of caution, and he handed the magic weapon to Su Yao: "It can be used to explore the seal location of Dugu Jiu's true body, the nine-headed snake body."
His purple eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the magic weapon without blinking.
He continued, "Dugu Jiu's nine-headed true form was once used by the two great elders of Qingqiu to sacrifice their souls in the 'Nine Stars Linking Formation' to maintain world peace. The nine snake heads were then suppressed in the Nine Veins Spiritual Mountain."
"They are two of us. One is the Grand Elder of our clan, and the other is the seal bearer of the formation spirit. Setting up the formation requires the fusion of souls. The spirit and the soul are not there."
"To keep the secret secret, even I am not aware of it."
Su Yao remained silent, a hint of respect in his tone: "They died defending the realm."
Su Murong's eyes flashed with a complex expression: "Yes."
"They sacrificed their lives to prevent Dugu Jiu's remaining soul from appearing in the world, and also prevented the demon species from reviving."
She looked at the magical instrument, as if traveling through numerous memories: "This seal can trace the source of the Nine Heads?"
"The Scale Seal is maintained by a blood curse of formation, and contains the aura of the Nine-Tailed Ancestral Fire. It can sense the fluctuations of Dugu Jiuyuan's spirit. As long as his spirit is not exhausted, the sealed place of the nine snake heads will eventually reveal itself."
She put the magic weapon into the Nine Lotus Jade Bone Ring and said, "I will use it."
He frowned and said, "I must remind you that once the nine snake heads are recovered, Dugu Jiu's spirit will be complete, and the demon seed in his body will be fully awakened."
"When that happens, it will be beyond your and my control."
Purple eyes were calm: "I know my limits."
He sighed softly, but his tone suddenly changed: "This can be considered as my apology for causing trouble on Tu Yuehen's behalf."
She said, "I will plead for your brother with Xin Jifeng, but this won't happen again."
Black eyes looked into purple eyes and smiled slightly, "Thanks."
"From now on, I will take good care of my younger brother and sister, and will never plot against them or frame them again."
Just as Su Yao was about to leave, he suddenly said, "There's one more thing... Tiantian."
She stopped.
"Please... protect him."
She turned around and curled her lips: "If I can't protect you, don't you still have your 'Blood Contract Reversal Formation'?"
Su Murong smiled faintly: "You discovered it."
The stunning face was expressionless: "As Tiantian's father, this... is not bad."
At that moment, a glimmer of light appeared in Su Murong's eyes, like a lamp that suddenly lit up after a thousand years of silence.
He said in a low but serious voice: "Not only to my son... but also to you. I will protect you with my life."
Su Yao turned back coldly: "I don't need you to worry about me."
Before he finished speaking, his figure faded into the light and shadow, as light as smoke.
Su Murong looked in the direction she left, his hands slightly clenched into fists, his eyes persistent and complicated.
That slender shadow seemed to cut through thousands of mountains and rivers, and could no longer be brought closer.
He suddenly realized that there was no anger, no disgust, no resentment, or even no emotion in her eyes.
No hate, no love.
He smiled, but his eyes were filled with fragmented light, like scattered stars in a quiet night.
"Su Yao..."
He whispered softly, "Have I really lost you?"
…
When Su Yao returned to the B&B, he met Bai Hengzhi, the head of the Bai family, at the main entrance, with his two children on his left and right: Bai Lingxi and Bai Yiran.
"Director Su, I've long heard of your name."
Bai Hengzhi took the initiative to step forward and greet her. She bowed and said politely, "Master Bai, thank you for your compliment."
"Thank you, Director Su, for saving my son's life. Baijiabao will always remember this."
"As a doctor, it's my duty to treat illnesses and save lives. Don't worry about it."
Bai Lingxi smiled faintly and said, "Yes, father, Director Su is a man of great righteousness and will not use any means to repay our kindness."
"Lingxi, be careful with your words."
"Yes, father." She pretended to be obedient.
Su Yao was about to leave.
"Director Su, long time no see. How have you been recently?" Bai Yiran's eyes flashed. He was still moved when he saw Su Yao again.
During this period of seclusion, I made no progress.
When I see my sweetheart, I still can't control my emotions.
I wanted to stop disturbing her, but I couldn't help but chat with her.
Even just hearing her voice filled him with satisfaction.
Many times in his dreams at midnight, he hoped that the person who saved him was an old man or an ugly monster.
Not to the extent that he would think about it for so long.
He is a strong man.
What's more, it was a woman as stunningly beautiful as Su Yao... She saved his life, how could he not be moved.
She even didn't ask for anything in return.
It's like showing kindness to stray dogs and kittens on the roadside.
Just like Su Yao at this moment, there was no emotion in his eyes: "Thank you for your concern, Second Young Master. I am fine."
"Director Su, just call me by my name from now on."
She nodded, turned and left, as if she didn't want to go into the B&B with them.
