So many years have passed, and Gao Hongyuan may have already raised a demonic Gu king. That would not only be a matter for Xiaoyue, but would concern the safety of the entire Nine Continents. He could not sit idly by.
Fu Linglong understood Xiao Yanchu's meaning, "Because some things happened later, I could no longer take care of Gao Hongyuan." At this point, Fu Linglong stopped talking and looked at Yuan Hong.
"At that time, my body was being devoured by the young Gu of the Demon Gu King, and I was extremely weak. If it weren't for Xun Zhi's excellent medical skills, I would have died long ago."
Even though my external injuries healed later, I was still weak inside and unable to control the Gu worms. I only knew the basics of martial arts, so going down the mountain to find Gao Hongyuan would be tantamount to suicide.
Once the young Demon Gu King has passed the second stage, it must be nurtured in the master's heart, absorbing the master's heart blood every day. Only in this way can the fully grown Demon Gu King be controlled. This process takes fifteen years, and I still have time.
Moreover, at this time, I encountered another event, perhaps it was all arranged by fate.
One night, I observed the celestial phenomena and discovered that the Emperor Star's light had dimmed, and a Purple Star had appeared, seemingly poised to replace the Emperor Star.
This foreshadowed the imminent arrival of a new emperor in Xiaoyue. Just then, a meteor streaked across the sky, and the newly appeared Ziwei star dimmed instantly.
On a whim, I walked towards the direction of the fallen star. When I arrived at the edge of the Lan River, I heard the sound of a baby crying. Following the sound, I saw a baby lying in a wooden basin, who looked like it had just been born.
I took the child out and saw that he had heterochromia (different colored pupils) and seven stars on his back—truly the countenance of an emperor. This is Xiaoyue's future emperor!
So it was Fu Linglong who found the Second Prince Ji Yanche, also known as Yuan Hong, who had been put into the river by the nanny!
At that moment, Su Ruojin suddenly felt that there really was such a thing as destiny in this world, and wondered if her rebirth also meant something.
"However, I also sensed death in the child, and this death aura originated from his heterochromatic eyes. I saw the future of Xiaoyue in him. With him, Xiaoyue will prosper; without him, Xiaoyue will perish. For Xiaoyue's sake, I must protect him."
I went to the orphanage and brought back a baby of the same size. I used a life-replication technique to copy the first half of the baby's life from the one in the wooden basin onto the baby in the orphanage.
"So Dap is the baby you brought from Cigutang? Because he copied Yuan Hong's fate in the first half of his life, he has heterochromia and the same seven moles." Su Ruojin couldn't help but ask.
Previously, Fu Linglong had been talking about Gu techniques, which made people overlook the fact that the people of the Star Gu Pavilion were also skilled in astrology.
But this life-replication technique, which can copy the first half of a person's life onto another person, is too unbelievable.
However, when Su Ruojin thought about her rebirth and the existence of Mao Mao, and how she had read in ancient books in her previous life that a powerful being had used the Seven Star Lamp to borrow life, it didn't seem so strange that Fu Linglong knew the art of restoring life.
“That’s right. The baby I found back then had one brown eye and one blue eye. Although he was just a baby then, I’m sure he was Yuan Hong.” Fu Linglong stared straight at Yuan Hong.
Su Ruojin then recalled why Dapu's blood had only flashed briefly before turning red again when it was dripped onto the Red Jade Bead. She realized it was because of the Life-Returning Technique.
This also explains why Yuan Hong and Da Pu have some similarities in appearance; perhaps they copied each other's fates and changed some of Da Pu's appearance.
Yuan Hong was completely stunned. He had finally accepted that he was not his adoptive parents' biological child, but he never expected that there would be such a difficult journey to come.
"How did Yuan Hong end up in the Great Chu?"
Su Ruojin still couldn't understand. Since Fu Linglong had picked up Yuan Hong and saved his life, she should have adopted him or found someone to adopt him in Xiaoyue. It was impossible for her to go to Da Chu.
The master said that Fu Linglong had never been to the Great Chu in her life.
What exactly went wrong in the middle?
