Chapter 86 Do you want to come back to Yingzhou with me?
"Sister, I didn't give you this much back then." Linghu Zhuoyu never expected that the silver bracelet would be taken back.
"Thanks to the antidote pills you gave me back then, this is just a small token of my appreciation."
Linghu Zhuoyu initially wanted to refuse, but after touching the warm touch of the object in his hand, he changed his mind and put the already worn silver bracelet on his wrist.
The black gauze draped low, and no one saw the boy in the veil gently stroking the silver bracelet, his gaze lingering.
"Sister, then I will accept it."
"That's better." Mu Jianjian nodded Xiaohua's head, letting it wrap around her wrist and wag its tail. "Oh right, Yuyu, are you planning to stay at the Xuanshuang Sect for a few days?"
"I will return to Yingzhou in half a month," Linghu Zhuoyu replied truthfully.
It was already extremely difficult for him to spare half a month to come to the Xuan Shuang Sect.
After finishing up the previous matters and dealing with the complicated affairs, he hurriedly went to the Xuanshuang Sect to see his sister, only to learn that his sister had "perished in the sea of fire." If he hadn't known that his sister had come out of the Xuantian Secret Realm unharmed, he probably would have come directly to kill her.
After healing the leader of the Xuanshuang Sect and parting ways with my sister, I will be forced to get involved in the mess stirred up by the Demon Lord of Yingzhou. I don't know when we will meet again.
Therefore, Linghu Zhuoyu cherishes every moment, as if he has stolen this time from himself.
"Half a month later?" Mu Jianjian estimated the time in her mind. In the original book, the Demon Lord held a banquet to restore his senior brother's identity as the young lord, which was about two months later. If that's the case, she can make preparations in advance.
She then added, "I'm going to Yingzhou too."
I wonder if Yueyue will be able to emerge from the secret realm within two months.
In the original story, Sang Wanyue spent several months in the secret realm, and only managed to catch up after she came out.
"Really, sister?" The girl's words were like a surprise from heaven, prompting Linghu Zhuoyu to involuntarily ask for confirmation.
Once he reaches Yingzhou, once he reaches his destination, he can…
Linghu Zhuoyu blushed, suppressing the thoughts surging in her mind, reminding herself to stay calm and not to be influenced by blood ties to become a monster like her mother.
After all, if his sister knew what he was thinking, she would definitely hate him and stay away from him.
Like his mother, he was hated by his father.
"Really." Mu Jianjian nodded, but she was still thinking about how to get to Yingzhou.
Should they go alone secretly, or go with the leader of the Xuan Shuang Sect?
Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, and she is still considering them.
“Although I don’t know why you’re going to Yingzhou, you can come back with me,” Linghu Zhuoyu said, flicking the hissing little flower on her head. “The Xuanshuang Sect is far from Yingzhou, and we’ll pass by the Golden Crow Temple and the Black Sea Cliff along the way. I can protect you.”
Of the four factions, two sects, and one continent on the mainland, apart from Yingzhou, which was separated from the Black Sea Cliff, the spheres of influence of the other four factions and two sects are relatively closely intertwined.
The Xuanshuang Sect is located in the southwest of the continent, connecting with the border regions of the Wushang Palace, Hehuan Hall, and Jinwu Shrine. If one wants to go to Yingzhou, the easternmost part of the continent, and does not want to take a detour, one will pass through Jinwu Shrine.
Mu Jianjian did not have a good impression of this faction.
Upon hearing Linghu Zhuoyu's words, she had a sudden thought, and then she heard the young man in front of her continue.
"What does my sister want to do in Yingzhou? If she needs help, I will definitely do my best to help her."
With her weak and inexperienced skills, she protects her senior brother, follows the original plot, and, more importantly, seeks the truth behind the original book's tragic ending.
She had a premonition that the people from the Upper Realm would definitely make a move this time, and their strength would definitely not be lower than those in the Secret Realm. After all, the Xuan Tian Secret Realm had cultivation restrictions, but things were different now.
Within the continent, anyone below the Nascent Soul stage is a possibility.
But Mu Jianjian opened her mouth but didn't say a word, "I met someone in the secret realm, and I want to go to Yingzhou to see her."
I should wait until I have a clear understanding of what's going on with my senior brother and the upper realm before speaking, so as not to drag unrelated people into this.
Linghu Zhuoyu didn't sense the girl's inner struggle; she was just annoyed and spoke out, her tone slightly sour, "Sister and her best friend have such a good relationship; even such a close distance can't stop them."
If he hadn't come to the Xuanshuang Sect this time, his sister would have come to Yingzhou, but in that case, wouldn't he have just been "by the way"?
Mu Jianjian felt that the words were somewhat sarcastic, but the boy's face was obscured by the hazy veil, so she couldn't see his expression.
She must be mistaken. How could such a cute and adorable girl like Yu Yu be sarcastic?
“He’s been very good to me, and I want to go find him and do something for him.”
It refers to his senior brother, Chi Wenqing.
Linghu Zhuo's face instantly hardened beneath his jade veil, and a chill emanated from him.
In fact, he didn't even understand why he was angry; he simply felt that his sister should focus all her attention on him.
"Oh, right," Mu Jianjian quietly approached the boy and asked, "Did Uncle Guo give you a cup to make the antidote using the water inside?"
As Linghu Zhuoyu watched the approaching girl, his oppressive aura vanished instantly, and he nodded slightly.
Upon seeing Mu Yutian, he immediately recognized the source of the poison—a Gu poison disciple of Cai Chu, one of the "Five Eccentrics" of Yingzhou. Now that he heard that Cai Chu had perished in the secret realm, the poison was most likely made by his sister, Cai Hua.
The so-called "Life Breath" poison, which is said to be incurable, is like a sleep-like state, gradually consuming and wearing down the cultivator's life until death.
Despite its drawbacks such as long production time and demanding conditions, many people still spend a lot of money to find a cure for this incurable condition.
He had heard of it before, but had never actually experienced it. It was only during the treatment today that he realized that Cai Chu and his sister had the ability to make "life-giving energy" another major secret technique of their sect, besides the humanoid Gu.
If it weren't for the cup of water that Uncle Guo brought out, he wouldn't have been able to cure the poison in a short time; at most, he could only delay his death.
That water... is a priceless treasure.
Linghu Zhuoyu's eyes flashed with fervor. If it weren't for the fact that the Second Elder was his sister's martial uncle, he might have poisoned the water and snatched it directly.
“I brought those out of the secret realm. After experimenting with them, I found that water can irrigate herbs and make them grow bigger and faster,” Mu Jianjian said, biting her lip. “I have some more here. When Uncle Guo no longer needs the cups, I can take some out and give them to you.”
"Huh?" Linghu Zhuoyu's eyes widened slightly, almost thinking he had misheard.
How could my sister just say something so precious?
