Chapter 93 To Go or Not to Go
As Mu Jiantian carried the bowl of medicine into the room, she saw Mu Yutian coming out of the room. She quickly walked forward and called out, "Father!"
He glanced behind him.
"You came to see that kid?" Mu Yutian glanced at the steaming hot medicine in the girl's hand, his tone sour, "I haven't seen you bring your medicine to me."
“Didn’t Uncle Guo say that he would be in charge of Father’s side?” Mu Jianjian pouted, not buying it.
Since the internal strife within the Xuan Shuang Sect a few days ago, Mu's father and the elders have been extremely busy, making it difficult for her to even see them while she cultivates and recovers from her injuries.
I never expected to see Father Mu at Yu Yu's recuperation place today.
Mu Yutian looked down at the pretty and lovely girl in front of him, his heart softening completely. He reached out and ruffled the girl's black hair, recalling the praise and admiration that the disciples in the sect had given her recently, and felt even more proud.
After whispering a few more words of advice to the little girl, he watched her retreating figure as she walked into the room, then glanced at Song Yin passing by and said, "You, follow her in."
Song Yin: ?
Ignoring his stunned expression, Mu Yutian strode away.
How could such a good daughter of his be allowed to fall into the hands of that brat Yingzhou?
——
Linghu Zhuoyu lay on the bed, idly counting on his fingers, while his other hand manipulated his true energy to suspend a purple cauldron and fiddle with the pills inside.
Before long, the cauldron was opened, and five high-quality white pills appeared inside.
He glanced at it briefly, then destroyed the pill, the fragments scattering in the air. "Another failure, Little Flower."
As expected, fusing sacred lake water with ordinary pills is not so easy; perhaps he shouldn't have been so hasty.
If other alchemists were to witness such behavior and hear what the boy said, they would definitely shout that it was a waste of talent.
Who would be dissatisfied with such a high-quality elixir that they could refine it so easily?
Xiao Hua was speechless, curled up into a ball and remained silent.
Just as Linghu Zhuoyu was about to try again, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the courtyard in the distance. He immediately put away the cauldron, lay back down on the bed, and his breath became weak in an instant.
Xiaohua was even more speechless.
A hypocritical, despicable master.
"Sister, you've finally come to see me!" Linghu Zhuoyu said happily the moment she saw the girl's figure appear at the door.
Her voice was filled with undisguised excitement until she saw the man following the girl in.
His breathing became low again, and he clicked his tongue softly.
How annoying! Don't think he didn't notice anything. He's already too busy with Zhan Qingfeng's affairs, yet he still comes along and keeps an eye on his sister every time.
"Yu Yu!" Mu Jianjian walked to Linghu Zhuoyu's side with the medicine and handed it to her. "Didn't you say that it's not good to refine pills lately? So I asked the medical hall to brew some medicine."
Linghu Zhuoyu recognized the medicinal herbs just by taking a sniff, and a smile curved his lips. "Thank you, sister."
His raised hand trembled slightly, as if he couldn't lift it.
Mu Jianjian was taken aback and was about to speak when Song Yin interrupted her from behind, "Junior Sister Mu, let me feed the Divine Doctor. Elder Guo is still urging you to go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall. You can come over after you get the pill."
When Linghu Zhuoyu saw the girl smile apologetically at him, he felt incredibly frustrated, but he dared not reveal his terrible personality in front of his sister.
She could only watch as Song Yin fed her the medicine. By the time Mu Jianjian brought the medicine back from the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, Song Yin had already left, and it was evening as the sun was setting.
"Are you going back to Yingzhou in a few days?" Hearing the young man in front of her say this, Mu Jianjian handed him the pills she had taken from the traditional Chinese medicine shop and asked anxiously, "What about your injury?"
The route also passes by the Golden Crow Temple and the Black Sea Cliff.
If one's identity is well concealed, there is no need to worry about the Golden Crow Shrine. However, the Black Sea Cliff is a dangerous place with ferocious sea monsters, and many high-level cultivators have lost their lives there.
She would be relieved if Yu Yu wasn't injured, but now she can't even lift her hand...
"It's alright, sister. Although it's a bit dangerous for me to go back to Yingzhou alone, I have plenty of medicine even if I get injured."
There were only two people in the room. Linghu Zhuoyu had already taken off his veil, and his long gray-black hair shone brightly under the red-orange light, reflecting the boy's wet eyes.
Mu Jianjian nodded, "I can go back to Yingzhou with you, Yu Yu, you're not alone."
She calculated the time; she had already been in the Xuan Shuang Sect for over a month. Linghu Zhuoyu, who should have left long ago, had been delayed for several days. If something were to happen to him on his way back to Yingzhou alone, she was afraid she would feel guilty to death.
Moreover, she was very worried about her senior brother's situation in Yingzhou Kyoto. After all, he had just entered Yingzhou and was practically isolated and helpless. If she could go there in advance, she could arrive in Kyoto before the Demon Lord's banquet for the world and find out more about the situation.
"Really, sister?" Linghu Zhuoyu's pale face instantly flushed with a rosy blush upon hearing the girl's words.
The voice he spoke was incredulous, but he was incredibly proud of himself.
He knew his sister would feel sorry for him and stay with him.
——
Mu Jianjian wanted to tell her father about her decision as soon as possible, so she rushed to the front hall, where she happened to see her father discussing news about the mastermind with Uncle Guo, the Third Elder.
"Come out." Mu Yutian stroked his beard.
Mu Jianjian stuck out her tongue. She hadn't made any special effort to hide her aura, and after being discovered, she stood up confidently. "Father, did I hear you talking about the person who poisoned Yingzhou?"
Yu Yu found out that it was Cai Hua, the younger sister of Cai Chu, one of the "Five Eccentrics" of Yingzhou.
“Not entirely,” Mu Yutian slowly shook his head, not in a hurry to explain, but instead called the girl to his side, “Nannan, have you heard any news from Yingzhou recently?”
Mu Jianjian slowly shook her head.
News has come from Yingzhou? Wasn't this supposed to happen a month later in the original story?
After the internal strife within the Xuan Shuang Sect was quelled, she was busy confessing to Elder Mu and others about the information she knew about the Upper Realm. Then, she followed Senior Brother Song Yin to clean up the disciples with impure and disloyal intentions. She was basically working non-stop and was indeed completely oblivious to what was happening outside.
"The Demon Lord of Yingzhou has announced that Chi Wenqing, the son of the former Demon Lord Chi Qiong, has returned to the continent and invited everyone in the world to witness the event, including our Xuanshuang Sect."
"Huh?" Mu Jianjian stared blankly, speechless for a moment.
First, I feel that time has gone by too fast. Second... did Yingzhou invite the Xuanshuang Sect in the original book?
After the former Demon Lord Chi Qiong was besieged and killed by righteous cultivators, Chi Wenqing was supposed to be eliminated completely. However, due to Mu Fu's compassion, he took the still-infant Chi Wenqing as his disciple, using him to threaten Chi Qiong's former subordinates.
The relationship between the two is quite subtle.
But now that Chi Wenqing has returned to Yingzhou, and the Demon Lord has hosted a banquet for the Xuanshuang Sect, the balance between the two has been broken.
"Two forces have already responded: the Golden Crow Shrine and the Supreme Palace." Father Mu's voice echoed in the hall. "What do you think, my dear, should we go or not?"
“Go.” Mu Jianjian said without hesitation, “We can use this as an excuse to find out who is behind Cai Hua and take the initiative.”
Moreover, swallowing one's anger is not the style of the Xuan Shuang Sect. They will retaliate in kind for whatever the other party has done.
Mu Jianjian didn't even realize that she had naturally incorporated herself into the Xuan Shuang Sect.
"Hahahaha," Mu Yutian laughed and nodded, looking down at the determined-looking girl, and slowly asked, "Then, Nannan, would you be willing to represent the Xuan Shuang Sect in Yingzhou?"
He knew his daughter was hiding a secret from him, but he was unwilling to press her for details. Seeing that she was becoming more and more outstanding than before, he was even more eager to impart his resources and secret techniques to her.
Knowing that Jianjian dared to go to the Xuantian Secret Realm alone, Mu Yutian, after anticipating her intentions, knew that since he couldn't stop her, he might as well openly use the power of the Xuanshuang Sect to protect her.
Besides, that old guy from the Supreme Palace has been mocking him for having no successor, so he'll show him just how outstanding his daughter is!
Mu Jianjian's pupils dilated slightly.
He represented the Xuan Shuang Sect and went to Yingzhou.
