CHAPTER 384: CHAPTER 357: GOOD THING YOU DIDN’T GO IN

It turned out that yesterday, as soon as Su Jingchen and Miao Yingyao confronted each other, Miao Yingyao recognized him and wanted to capture Su Jingchen without a second thought.

Su Jingchen was not willing to be captured easily. He had to run, but as he was escaping, Bai Qingying blocked his way. After a few rounds of fighting, Bai Qingying tore off a section of Su Jingchen’s sleeve, and due to being poisoned by a Gu Worm, Su Jingchen lost all his strength and fell off a cliff.

Fortunately, there was a small river below the cliff. After falling into the water, Su Jingchen swam desperately to the shore, took out a Blood Pill that Yu Xiaolian gave him for protection and swallowed it, before passing out.

When he woke up and had made a long detour back to the mud and grass hut, he found out that Yu Xiaolian had gone to the Witch Clan’s lair alone to find him.

"How did you find me?" Logically, those Witch Clan people were also looking for her, so how did Su Jingchen find her first?

"The Myriad Snake Cave is a forbidden area of the Witch Clan, those Witch Clan people dare not come here." Moreover, he saw that the Witch Clan people were not very keen on finding Yu Xiaolian, instead, they were fiercely competing for the position of leader.

Indeed, even if they found the master of the Longevity Gu, they couldn’t beat her, so why seek death? The immediate benefits were more worth fighting over.

"The Longevity Gu is gone, the Longevity Gu on my body is gone, we don’t have to go to the Snow Mountain anymore!" Yu Xiaolian said excitedly.

"What happened?" Su Jingchen was surprised; wasn’t it said that the Longevity Gu wouldn’t change hosts?

Yu Xiaolian told Su Jingchen about her encounter with Miao Danyi.

It’s just that the Longevity Gu had been temporarily awakened in her body, and she wasn’t sure if it would affect her in terms of future childbearing.

But it didn’t matter, now they had narrowly escaped death, and these things had become insignificant.

Su Jingchen embraced Yu Xiaolian, "That’s great, so you don’t have to wear colored contacts anymore, or worry about having the Longevity Gu in your body and being captured for bloodletting!"

Yu Xiaolian nodded excitedly, "Mm-hmm!

How do we get out? Do we go from the outside or from in here?"

Yu Xiaolian pointed to the dark, unlit passageway.

"Is this an exit?" asked Su Jingchen.

Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "I don’t know if it is, I was just going to try and see when you came in."

Su Jingchen walked to the entrance of the cave, stuck his head inside and took a few steps before returning, "There are traps inside, it’s a good thing you didn’t go in."

Yu Xiaolian shook Su Jingchen’s arm, pouting, "Luckily, you came in time!"

The two of them shared a smile, holding hands as they walked out of the cave.

With Su Jingchen, getting to the other side was no problem at all. Su Jingchen held Yu Xiaolian by the waist and leaped, grasping the climbing rope on the other side. With a light touch of his toes on the rock wall, he easily brought Yu Xiaolian to the top.

Yu Xiaolian retrieved the climbing rope and put it into her space.

"By the way, the old master’s descendants left a large amount of gold and silver behind, and now it’s all in my space. How should I give it to them?"

Yu Xiaolian did not lack money, and even if she did, she could earn it on her own. Miao Danyi left this property, and she wouldn’t keep a single cent of it.

Su Jingchen took Yu Xiaolian’s hand, "Come with me!"

Su Jingchen led Yu Xiaolian through a thistle-covered area into a forest.

This was the forest he had come through silently, and accidentally discovered a ruined bamboo building within it.

Su Jingchen had Yu Xiaolian place the money left by Miao Danyi in this bamboo building.

Fortunately, the bamboo building was large enough, otherwise, it really wouldn’t hold these things.

"Should we leave a letter here?" Yu Xiaolian asked Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen raised an eyebrow, "What do you want to write?"

Yu Xiaolian said, "Just to tell them the Longevity Gu is gone, not on me, so they shouldn’t come after me."

Su Jingchen chuckled, patting Yu Xiaolian’s head, "Those who want to trouble you won’t listen to your excuses.

So, there’s no need to leave a letter!"

Yu Xiaolian worriedly asked, "Will the Bai family people go to Luocheng?"

After all, she killed Bai Qingying.

Su Jingchen calmly replied, "Do you think after we’ve traveled this far, those Witch Clan people don’t know?

There are Gu Worms placed in the nearby bamboo forest and grassland, and as soon as a stranger intrudes, they will know."

Yu Xiaolian was shocked, "You mean they know our every move? They let us go on purpose?"

Su Jingchen nodded.

Yu Xiaolian frowned, "Do they know the Longevity Gu in my body has been awakened? Afraid I’d activate it, causing the complete annihilation of their clan?"

That must be the reason, otherwise, there’s no explanation for the Witch Clan people’s sudden pretense of ignorance letting them leave.

Yu Xiaolian patted her small chest, these past two days have been full of surprises and scares, a wave of unrest followed by another, but the ending was good.

But if they could sense the awakening of the Longevity Gu through the Gu Worm, they should also know it died. If they knew it died, they wouldn’t have let them go so easily.

Yu Xiaolian was extremely puzzled.

Could it be the Longevity Gu didn’t die?

Or Miao Danyi didn’t die?

No, it’s impossible!

Miao Danyi had no reason to deceive her; if he wanted to obtain the Longevity Gu, he didn’t need Yu Xiaolian’s cooperation and had no reason to pass his inner strength to her.

Leaving the bamboo building, Su Jingchen took Yu Xiaolian down a small path, passing unhindered down the mountain. When passing by the mountainside, Yu Xiaolian noticed that the corpses from last night had all disappeared.

There wasn’t the slightest trace at the mountainside, no bloodstains, no corpses, it was too strange, as if everything last night had been Yu Xiaolian’s hallucination.

Yu Xiaolian looked at Su Jingchen walking ahead, his left sleeve torn off by Bai Qingying, yet he was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, it all seemed unreal.

"Su Jingchen, sing me the alphabet song, I want to hear it!"

Su Jingchen paused, knowing Yu Xiaolian still doubted him, which made him feel a bit unsettled, but thinking back to Bai Qingying posing as him and deceiving Yu Xiaolian, surely leaving her with a shadow in her heart, her being cautious was understandable.

"ABCDEFG..." Su Jingchen hesitated only for a moment before he began to sing.

Yu Xiaolian exhaled a long sigh upon hearing the alphabet song, wondering if she was becoming a bit paranoid.

It was all Bai Qingying’s Disguise Technique being too lifelike.

She couldn’t stop recalling Bai Qingying’s face over Su Jingchen’s, with that sinister and frivolous smile.

After walking a while longer, Yu Xiaolian saw some Miao people cleaning up the fallen branches and debris beside the road. When they saw the two of them coming down the mountain, they showed expressions of shock, dropping everything and turning to run.
