On the other side, a massive bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, crashing straight down into the ground. The lightning was thick and powerful, kicking up a cloud of dust as it struck the ground. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding space seemed to distort once again...
When Xu Yuehuai opened her eyes again, she found herself in Qingtao Valley. Her injuries had been properly treated. Not long after she woke up, someone pushed open the door and entered, looking on with surprise at seeing her awake.
The First Elder looked at Xu Yuehuai with kind eyes, patted the child's head, and said in a loving tone, "You child, if you can't finish the mission, you can't finish it. Why are you so stubborn? If the sect leader were here, he would definitely give you a good talking to."
Xu Yuehua shook her head, feeling like she had forgotten something. She tried hard to recall what she had forgotten, but no matter what, she couldn't remember. She braced herself on the edge of the bed, preparing to get out, but the First Elder pressed her back down, saying seriously, "What are you trying to do? Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, and you already want to get out of bed? Don't you want to die?"
Xu Yuehuai raised his hand in a bow, "That's not the case. It's just that there are still some things I don't understand and I want to find out more. My health is fine now, so please let me go, Elder."
Xu Yuehuai felt her thoughts were in turmoil. She shouldn't have ended up in Qingtao Valley. How did she get back? What happened in between? What happened to those people? Did the Ying family die in the end? What had she forgotten? She clutched her head, unable to remember…
The Grand Elder looked at her with loving eyes, her heart aching. How could Xu Yuehuai not have watched her get to where she was today? She knew a lot about the hardships and bitterness she had endured. How could a child from the lower realm want to gain a foothold in this place, become the senior disciple, and lead a group of disciples on missions?
It sounds unremarkable, but few people in the world can achieve this level, and Xu Yuehuai is one of them, which is truly admirable.
“I know what you want to ask. I don’t know how you got back, and I don’t know how I got back either. I went to Cangwu City with the sect leader to rescue you. I don’t remember anything that happened after that. I only remember waking up here.” The elder’s eyes were filled with confusion. She also told Xu Yuehuai that half a month had passed.
This means that Xu Yuehuai has been in a coma for half a month, during which time several elders have taken turns taking care of her.
Xu Yuehuai's eyes were filled with confusion. She had no idea that so much time had passed. She clearly remembered that she had just fallen asleep in the inn and woke up to this scene. She even wanted to ask what had happened.
But seeing the elder's state, she knew she wouldn't get anything out of him today, so she obediently lay back down, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts already scattered and in complete disarray.
She frowned as she pondered what had happened during this time, but she had no way of knowing. The people she was looking for were not in the sect. She was the only one who had been unconscious for half a month, while the others had been unconscious for two or three days, or at most five days.
Everyone was worried that she wouldn't wake up again, so they went out to find some rare and precious herbs for her so that Xu Yuehuai could recuperate properly.
Unable to get an answer from them, Xu Yuehuai asked Yuan Shui and Bai Ze. Both of them shook their heads. Yuan Shui was lying on his rocking chair, swaying back and forth.
The rocking chair was a little short for his current height and size, but that didn't stop her from sitting here and rocking back and forth. "We have no idea. We haven't been able to contact you since you left that strange forest. If you really want to know what happened to you, you've asked the wrong person."
It's been a long time since I've seen Yuan Shui, and he's become even more irritating with his words, making people grit their teeth in anger.
After Xu Yuehuai left the space, she was carefully cared for by several elders for several days, and they repeatedly assured her that she was really fine before they released her. There was someone with her when she was released, and that was Shi Mu.
Shi Mu's cultivation level was the lowest, so he was unlikely to find anything good outside. Therefore, the others asked him to stay in the sect to gather intelligence. If they needed to find any information outside, they would send him to the library.
Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen are also among those helping Xu Yuehuai search for rare and precious materials.
Xu Yuehuai spent all her time in the sect. When she went out, she was a little surprised to see Shi Mu standing at the door, but she was more happy than surprised. She asked, "I thought you went out with them."
Shi Mu knew what she meant; she was asking why he hadn't visited her for so many days. Shi Mu said with some grievance, "The elders wouldn't let me near this courtyard, saying that you're recuperating and I can't disturb Senior Sister's recovery. I've wanted to tell you this news for a long time, but I haven't found the opportunity yet."
Xu Yuehuai didn't blame him. She knew the pros and cons clearly and knew that Shi Mu had no one backing him up. If it weren't for her, he probably wouldn't have become like this at this point in time.
Although thinking this way might seem narcissistic and arrogant, she thought, isn't this the truth of the matter? If it weren't for Xu Yuehuai, Qi Guze wouldn't have come here, much less chosen him.
Xu Yuehua nodded, then said, "Can you contact them now? Ask them where they are and when they'll be back."
Shi Mu nodded and said, "I have already notified them, they should be back soon, no need to rush."
Xu Yuehua nodded and began to ask Shi Mu about the details of their trip to Cangwu City, but Shi Mu did not know either, and his memory was even more vague than Xu Yuehua's. "I didn't notice anything strange about it. It was pretty normal. I just can't quite remember what happened."
When Shi Mu said he couldn't remember, he scratched his head awkwardly, a hint of shyness flashing across his face.
Xu Yuehuai's brows furrowed. This matter was not simple. Shi Mu had no recollection of anything unusual about it. Could it be that someone was behind it all? But who was the mastermind behind this was still unknown.
However, what they could possibly know was probably not very important information; otherwise, it would have all been erased. At this point, Xu Yuehuai felt the most useful information was probably with Zisangyi, but Zisangyi was nowhere to be found; he had left not long after returning to the sect.
