ome greens to take home.As he approached the vegetable garden, about a dozen paces away, he noticed a trail of footprints on the ground. Although the footprints were faint on the dry, rocky path, Fang...After bandaging her wound, Lao Gui brought Qin Yao to a small wooden hut at the back of the cave for rest. 。
And then, he went back into the cave and began to sort through the broken bottles and jars on the floor. 。
"Tell me the whole story again." 。"Fang Yu stood aside and spoke." 。The old turtle pondered for a moment and said, "It was just an hour ago. I was here compounding medicine at the time, and Miss Qin Yao was in the ice room taking care of that little girl." 。"Then, I heard a voice from Miss Qin Yao's side. " 。She rushed to me and said, "The little girl is missing!" 。"I told her to let you know what was happening, and then she ran back out." 。Then, screams came from her side. Just as I was about to run outside, the girl appeared in front of me. 。"As soon as I saw her, she had a cold expression and an imposing aura. It was clear something was wrong. I immediately transformed back into my original form and retreated into my shell, barely escaping."
Listening to the old turtle's account, Fang Yu frowned and asked, "Was Ling'er lying on the ice bed all this time before this"
The old turtle stroked his chin and said, "Yes, Miss Qin Yao has been taking care of her. If she could have moved before, Miss Qin Yao wouldn't have been unaware..." 。"During the time you went to check on Ling'er, didn't you notice anything unusual" Fang Yu asked. 。"Speaking of which, there really is!" Old Turtle said. "I already felt something was off about this girl half a month ago." 。"
Why didn't you contact me sooner" Fang Yu asked. 。I asked Miss Qin Yao to contact you, but I heard that you were in seclusion or something, so I just let it be. 。 。"You sensed something was off about her, what was it" Fang Yu asked. 。"You human cultivators, your cultivation auras are all stable, at least in the short term... there won't be much fluctuation." 。“The old turtle said, ‘But that little girl’s condition at the time... her breath was weak one moment and strong the next.’” 。Sometimes it's so strong I don't even dare to stand beside it, but other times it's so weak that it's hardly noticeable. 。"This has been the case for the past two weeks." 。"Over these past two weeks, you should still have been observing her blood, right" Fang Yu asked again. 。The old turtle nodded and said, “Of course, but…”
At this point, the old turtle looked at the broken medicine bottles and liquids on the cave floor, tears welling up in his eyes. 。"All the collected blood is gone..." Old Turtle said with heartache. 。"It's okay if you don't have blood, just tell me about the changes in her blood." 。"Fang Yu frowned." 。The old turtle lifted its head, furrowed its brow, and carefully recalled. 。Over the past month, the progression of changes in her blood has noticeably accelerated. 。The old turtle said 。Over the past month or so… has it been related to the return of spiritual energy
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. 。Just like my previous conclusion, her blood is still changing, moving towards being more like yours. 。"The old turtle said, 'As for the most recent test, yesterday... her blood and yours, the similarity has already reached over ninety-nine percent.'" 。"So, there are still some differences" Fang Yu asked. 。"Yes, I think that was inevitable... She's not your blood relative, blood can't be exactly the same, otherwise you'd be the same person, it wouldn't make sense." 。The old turtle said 。Hearing these four words, Fang Yu's eyes flickered. 。When he fought with Ling'er, he truly felt several points on her that were extremely similar to his own. 。Sacred power, golden true qi, and fighting style 。
Plus that inexplicable sense of familiarity. 。These points, all together, made Fang Yu feel extremely strange. 。
Fighting with Ling'er... it felt like he was fighting against another version of himself. 。Besides blood, I've been researching another issue over the past few months. 。"The old turtle said, 'What triggered this girl's bloodline awakening Why does her bloodline converge with yours'
'Have you reached a conclusion' Fang Yu asked." 。The old turtle nodded, then shook its head. 。So, is there a conclusion or not 。Fang Yu asked. 。"We were almost there, but she got away." 。"The old turtle sighed and said, 'After a period of research, I found that there is an invisible mark in this little girl's body.'" 。。"Yes, it's an invisible mark, existing within her. Any physical changes she experiences should be related to this mark." 。"The old tortoise said, 'I was going to use my spirit mirror soon to try and locate this mark and copy its shape. Unfortunately…'"
As the old tortoise sighed, Fang Yu fell into thought. 。
Under such a multitude of strange circumstances, Ling'er's identity... became even more mysterious. 。Who exactly is she What is her relationship with Fang YuDuring their previous encounter, the beam of light that suddenly shot down from the sky was clearly not a technique wielded by Ling'er herself. 。This indicates that it's very likely that some external entity has taken it away. 。
Ling'er’s previous life trajectory was basically spent in that small sect. 。Who could she possibly know
Combining that with the invisible mark Old Tortoise mentioned...
Fang Yu's brow furrowed 。Half an hour later, Fang Yu glanced at the small wooden house in the distance. 。His current situation doesn't allow him to take Qin Yao back. 。"Qin Yao will stay here with you for treatment first." 。"Fang Yu said, taking out a piece of talisman paper from the storage space in Kong Ling's ring and handing it to the old turtle, "If you encounter any situation, tear up the talisman paper immediately, and I will arrive as quickly as possible." 。The old turtle took the talisman paper and said, “If you have a way, hurry up and bring that little girl back.” 。"Researching halfway and stopping, it's too uncomfortable..."
"I try my best..." 。“Fang Yu replied,” 。
After saying that, Fang Yu walked outside. 。By the time they returned to the main house, Su Changge was already waiting for them on the top floor of the bamboo building. 。"Boss, you can already walk!" Su Changge asked in surprise. 。Stay away from me. 。Fang Yu said 。"Boss, I need to report on the banquet situation today..." Su Changge said. 。Go ahead and say it. 。Fang Yu said 。Next, Su Changge spent twenty minutes recounting everything he had seen, heard, and done at the Bai family. 。Even a slight expression from Bai Hengchuan would be noticed and pointed out by him. 。After listening, Fang Yu frowned slightly. 。Su Changge was a little nervous and asked, "Boss, shouldn't I have killed Wang Mingtong in public That's what I thought too, but Saint Javelin Brother doesn't think so…"
"No, killing Wang Mingtong is killing. I'm just curious... why would the Bai family and the Wang family come together..." 。"Fang Yu said" 。"That's really odd, they theoretically shouldn't intersect very often." 。But when Bai Hengchuan saw Wang Ming arrive, he was overjoyed, as if seeing a close brother. He invited him into the inner room. 。Su Changge said 。Fang Yu thought for a moment, then asked, "When you left, did Huixu not leave"
"Yes, Lord Huixu said he still had something to do" 。Su Changge said 。"Ou Yang Xiuyuan is here too, what does he want to do" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. 。Two hours passed, and the Bai family banquet ended. 。Guests in the hall all departed. 。This includes Ouyang Xiu and his son. 。The father and son had just stepped out the door when they came face to face with Huixu and Zhengze. 。"Thinking of me" Ouyang Xiu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly forced a smile and asked, "Are you waiting for me specifically" 。“With a faint smile, he replied lightly.” 。"Well, it has been a while since we had tea together..." 。"Ouyang Xiuyuan's eyes flickered as he said, “Every time before, I’d come to your mountain villa for tea. This time, why don’t we switch it up and have tea at my place I just moved into a new house in Beidu, and you haven’t been there yet." 。"If you say so, then I'll go to your place." 。He nodded in agreement. 。Seeing that Huai Xu agreed so readily, Ouyang Xiuyan was taken aback for a moment before breaking into a smile and saying, "Good! Then let's go back now." 。On the side, Zheng Ze silently observed the expressions of Ouyang Xiu and his son. 。At this time, Ouyang Xiu appeared quite natural. However, a look of obvious surprise and panic flashed across Ouyang Cheng's face. 。A strange look flashed in Zheng Ze's eyes. 。Subsequently, Huixu and Zhengze... followed Ouyang Xiuyuan and his father, leaving the Bai family together and heading to their newly built Ouyang residence. 。ful eyes and asked."Mm." Qin Yimo nodded lightly, without saying much, but looked at Fang Yu instead.Qin Yimo's eyes held a mixture of dissatisfaction and confusion."The situation just now obviously d...
