Chapter 106: Two Deer Return to the Heart, Black Mist Disperses

No wonder the resentment was obscuring the sun; it turns out to be the heirloom of the Youlu Lu Clan.

Fuyin has heard of these Deer Horn Twin Blades, but why would an object of the Lu Family end up in the hands of this little girl?

While lost in thought, Fuyin heard Danzhu cry out in alarm; the girl on the bed was moaning as if in extreme pain, and threads of Spirit Qi were actually drifting out from her forehead, only to be blocked by the Dharma Array Fuyin had just set up, while outside the array were ribbons of Spirit Qi radiating from the Deer Horn Twin Blades.

The two sides of Spirit Qi were constantly trying to connect, but there seemed to be an invisible wall on the Dharma Array blocking them.

"Senior Brother! Could this object be trying to take this girl's life!?" Danzhu asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

Fuyin had initially thought the same, but although the Deer Horn Twin Blades were filled with towering resentment, they were, after all, blades for slaughtering demons in the human world; while this resentment could bewitch mortals, the Deer Horn Twin Blades would never commit acts that harm people.

Furthermore, this was clearly the pure Spirit Qi of the Deer Horn Twin Blades, not the resentment filling the room.

Fuyin pondered for a moment and dissolved the Dharma Array with a flick of his finger; Danzhu was shocked to see this, but after the barrier was removed and the two threads of Spirit Qi collided, the girl instantly calmed down.

Could it be that the blade spirit of the Deer Horn Blade was extending this little girl's life?

Fuyin spoke suspiciously: "I am Fuyin, under the seat of Sect Leader Lingxiao Zhenren of the Yuanqing Sect. I encountered this child in the marketplace just now and have already performed Needle Acupuncture to save her life. I have no intention of harming her, and I hope you, honorable blade spirit, will withdraw your divine power so that I may continue to treat her!"

Seeing Fuyin act this way, Danzhu hurriedly pinched a seal and performed a Spirit Communication Technique, and sure enough, he saw a black deer on the blade.

The black deer glanced at Fuyin, then looked toward the little girl on the bed. Just then, the little girl suddenly screamed.

"Mother! Mother!"

"No! Don't!"

At this moment, the Deer Horn Twin Blades suddenly glowed with a ghostly light and began to absorb the Spirit Qi from the girl's forehead into the blades one by one, and along with it, the resentment that filled the room.

A moment later, the gloom dissipated, and the girl calmed down. Fuyin Zhenren hurried forward to check, only to see that the girl's vitality had greatly increased.

Sure enough, Fuyin looked at the Deer Horn Twin Blades on the table; although they were still emitting resentment, it was not like the flood that had passed through earlier, but had converged significantly.

It seems it was protecting this little girl just now.

……

Fuyin Zhenren looked at Maidong on the bed, recalling the time he met her; could it be that something happened to the Deer Horn Twin Blades?

"Mother! Mother!" Maidong kept muttering in her sleep, sweat dripping from her forehead like rain, which made Guanyue, who was standing by, anxious and distraught.

"Master, what exactly is wrong with Junior Sister? You must think of a way!"

Guanchen was also anxious, but he held Guanyue back: "Stay calm. Master naturally wants to save Junior Sister; do not disturb Master's thoughts."

Guanyue stopped speaking immediately upon hearing this, and Fuyin Zhenren sighed at this moment:

"It is all fate!"

……

"Do you... wish to open it?" the old deer asked again, and as the old deer asked, that vertical stroke drew closer and closer.

Xin Yi was also filled with mixed emotions; although he was still young back then, he had secretly investigated the extermination of his family over the years. At the time, he did not understand why his father had placed him and his mother in his aunt's home and entrusted the Deer Horn Twin Blades to his mother for safekeeping. Now that he thought about it, he must have heard some rumors to make such arrangements, but...

But how did those demons know that the mother and son were not at the manor?

On the day the Demon Race slaughtered the Lu Family, why did those demons go to slaughter the Cheng Family?

The Cheng Family were not demon hunters!

"Do you wish to open it?" the old deer asked tirelessly, its voice striking Xin Yi's heart like a morning bell.

Do you wish to open it? Opening it would solve all the mysteries!

"Do you wish to open it?" The old deer did not give Xin Yi time to think deeply, and that vertical stroke was about to return to its place.

The three characters "Chengguining" were about to be completed!

The words the old deer said earlier suddenly echoed in Xin Yi's ears.

"It will tear open a person's heart wound, causing her defenses to collapse, and making it difficult to recover."

"Calling me Senior Sister is too formal; why not just call me by my name? It will seem closer, won't it?" Maidong's smiling appearance suddenly appeared before Xin Yi, that bright smile exactly the same as when she was a child!

"No! Don't open it!" Xin Yi shouted, his face covered in tears, but they were not shed out of unwillingness.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Curse Seal on the White Jade Stone Gate began to change rapidly, and with heavy sounds, it transformed back to its initial appearance in an instant.

And at this time, not even a trace of wailing could be heard.

"Why not open it?" the old deer spoke, as if questioning, and as if commanding.

Xin Yi knelt on his knees, and after a long time, he replied: "Even if the truth is close at hand, if it will harm her, I will never touch it. I thought I was all alone, but I didn't expect her to still be alive. Perhaps heaven is merciful to have allowed me to meet her. So what if I have been pursuing the truth for so long? The living are always more important than the so-called truth!"

After saying this, Xin Yi touched his forehead to the ground and began to cry, heart-wrenchingly and indescribably.

At this time, the old deer trotted closer, like an elder, watching the prostrate Xin Yi quietly. And under this gaze, Xin Yi gradually calmed down.

He stood up and looked at the old deer, and the old deer also looked at him.

"Head of the Lu Clan, you must remember: abide by the clan rules, eradicate demons and eliminate evil, follow kindness and virtue, and act with benevolence and righteousness."

The old deer lowered its front limbs and actually knelt before Xin Yi!

Xin Yi was stunned and reached out to touch the old deer's antlers. The moment he touched them, the surrounding illusions dissipated instantly, and what he was holding in his hand was the Deer Horn Twin Blades.

……

Maidong on the bed stopped muttering, the pallor on her face faded, and she looked as if she were asleep.

"Master!" Guanyue shouted, interrupting Fuyin Zhenren's thoughts. He followed his finger and saw Maidong's eyelids move, and then she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Huh? Master? Senior Brother? Why are you in my room?" Maidong looked confused. What was this? Could it be that Master wanted to pass the position of Head of Discipline to her? That would be great; she could show off in front of Lingxiang.

"You... you..." Guanyue stared in shock, "You just now..."

At this time, Guanchen hurriedly interrupted him: "Junior Sister, you were probably tired just now and fainted in the courtyard, so Master came over to check on you." Then he gave Guanyue a look to stop him.

Guanyue understood and hurriedly chimed in, but Maidong looked disappointed; so it wasn't to pass the position to her...

She was about to get up, but suddenly felt a numb pain in her forehead. Just as she wanted to touch it, she was stopped by Fuyin Zhenren.

"The Silver Needle on your head hasn't been removed yet, and you're touching it so carelessly. Do you want to ruin your face and not be able to get married later?" Fuyin Zhenren said as he pressed Maidong down and removed the needles one by one.

Maidong was puzzled; it was just fainting, did it really require Needle Acupuncture? But she didn't think much of it and just joked: "Who said I wanted to get married? If I got married, wouldn't Master be sad and heartbroken to lose such an obedient disciple? I wouldn't let Master be sad!"

"Oh? In that case, you are indeed filial. Then from now on, you will stay by my side and are not allowed to leave even half a step, so as to avoid going out and causing trouble for the other brothers of the sect all day long." Fuyin Zhenren bit down on the word "brothers" and pulled out a silver needle.

Whether out of pain or in response to Fuyin Zhenren's joke, Maidong only shrieked:

"Master!"
