Chapter 120: How Could Yu Ruowei Still Be Alive?!

Weisheng Yucheng was almost angered into laughter by the old ox's sudden change of heart.

Fortunately, he also knew that the old ox was merely joking.

He then feigned urging: "Since you have decided, be quick about it and give it a try."

"If it works, my Beast Taming Sect will surely open its doors to you in the future."

"If it doesn't, it's all the same."

After hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao felt slightly more confident in her heart.

A resolute light flickered in her eyes.

"Then I shall be presumptuous, Senior Ox!"

Just like before, the shimmering contract ribbon appeared between the two, a Spirit Power band radiating a deep blue light, connecting the two of them with perfect fluidity.

Then, it happened in the blink of an eye.

It vanished into the air, as if dissipating, or perhaps like the rippling of water.

Yu Jiaojiao was dazed for a moment.

The contracts in her memory had never looked like this.

The old ox, however, was somewhat joyful.

The way he looked at Yu Jiaojiao also became remarkably different.

Weisheng Yucheng was even more surprised.

"It actually succeeded?"

"So you, little girl, are the destined one!"

Yu Jiaojiao blinked in confusion and took a step back.

"What?"

"What a wonderful little girl." Weisheng Yucheng was already looking at her with a smile.

Lu Ren also felt quite astonished.

After all that turning and twisting, it had resulted in such an accidental outcome.

It could not be said to be bad, but it was truly laughable.

"Congratulations."

In this situation, he offered his congratulations from the side.

Only, his eyes flickered with an unfathomable meaning.

Just a moment ago, he had redeemed A Wisp of Memory of Yu Jiaojiao that had been refreshed in the shop.

Coincidentally...

It was exactly what he needed.

Lu Ren had originally intended to investigate the background of the Yu family, but unexpectedly, he discovered something else entirely.

It also made him even more interested in the Yu family; he had calculated everything but failed to account for this.

Something that would likely drive the entire cultivation world mad was actually held in the hands of such a small family.

During the grand ceremony, Feng Wuyou had gifted him a Spirit Stone Mine Spirit.

That was already a rare and precious spirit object.

But now...

There was a living Spirit Stone Mine Spirit that had cultivated into human form standing before him.

No wonder the Yu family was never short of money.

Who could have imagined? The entire direct lineage of the Yu family was almost entirely composed of Spirit Stone Mine Spirits that had cultivated into human form, or clones used as cover, while their collateral branches were adopted from childhood and aided by techniques so that others could not detect the bloodline relationship.

Truly ingenious, and also astonishing...

Who could have thought of this?

No wonder.

No wonder indeed.

Especially Yu Jiaojiao, this Spirit Stone Mine Spirit; she was not just a mine spirit, but a Top-grade Spirit Soul mine spirit—an entire mine condensed into human form, covered in countless spirit flowers and Spirit Treasures.

Yu Jiaojiao's extravagant spending now had an explanation.

And Yu Jiaojiao, who was not even of the Human Race yet possessed such great treasures, like a small child holding a gold brick while wandering the world, naturally belonged to the role of a supporting female character in the plot of the Heavenly Dao.

Not just a supporting female character.

But a supporting female character who provided assists to two Children of Luck.

One of them.

Was naturally Yu Jiaojiao's nominal sister.

Yu Chunlan.

The other was naturally Xiao Zigui.

A flash of contemplation crossed Lu Ren's eyes.

It seemed that Yu Jiaojiao could not be discarded.

Some things still had to be handled through her.

It was not that he could not deal with Xiao Zigui alone, but rather... it was a matter of amusement, which was extremely important and impossible to let go of.

For some reason, Weisheng Yucheng suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Lu Ren beside him, and narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Strange.

Why did he always feel that just now, Lu Ren seemed to be thinking of something terrible? After Yu Jiaojiao figured out that she had truly formed a contract with the old ox, she excitedly clenched her small fists, and her little face turned flushed.

Her eyes sparkled, and she swallowed, feeling cautious.

"In that case... could I follow you seniors and enter the Lingya Secret Realm together?"

Though she had her little schemes, they were open and aboveboard.

It could not really be considered annoying.

Weisheng Yucheng nodded with a smile, "Naturally."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Ren, "Rest assured, with our Family Head Lu here, he will certainly ensure we remain safe and sound."

Lu Ren cast a look at him with a smile that was not quite a smile.

He did not say anything, however.

It was just as well.

He was also extremely curious about Yu Jiaojiao, and keeping her by his side would make it convenient to observe her.

Inside a guest room at Lingbaoge.

As soon as Helian Qinghe entered, she clutched herself weakly.

Her tears fell instantly, and she choked with sobs.

"Brother Zigui, I have brought shame upon you..."

"It is my fault..."

"Qinghe should not have come."

"What is this?" Xiao Zigui had been displeased, but seeing his beloved in tears...

He could not resist that affection after all, and hurriedly hugged her to comfort her, feeling guilty.

"This is not your fault!"

"Do not cry."

Helian Qinghe sobbed and choked.

Just as the two were in a moment of deep affection, she suddenly discovered something amiss.

Helian Qinghe raised her head from Xiao Zigui's embrace in a daze; she looked around cautiously, only to find that the person she wanted to find was not there.

Helian Qinghe was suddenly somewhat bewildered.

"... Where is Junior Sister Tang?"

"Why do you care about her?" At the mention of Tang Yanyu, Xiao Zigui's eyes were filled with disgust.

However.

What Helian Qinghe said was not wrong.

If something were to happen to Tang Yanyu under his watch, it would be difficult to handle.

Xiao Zigui also subconsciously went to look for her.

Yet he did not find any trace of Tang Yanyu.

It was then that Yi Yaoyue spoke softly to remind them: "That Miss Tang went out this morning."

"This morning?"

The sun was already high, and it was noon.

Tang Yanyu still hadn't returned! "Could something have happened to her?" Helian Qinghe could not help but feel worried.

Although her mind was complex, she was not a particularly vicious woman; while Tang Yanyu was jealous and had a violent temper, she could barely be considered innocent.

Only an innocent person would be so straightforward and make no effort to hide their emotions.

Helian Qinghe could not help but say softly: "Let us go look for Junior Sister."

Xiao Zigui felt slightly irritable.

But he also knew.

Helian Qinghe was right.

Qin Yuan had been watching quietly from the side, not interjecting.

After Xiao Zigui and the other left.

Yi Yaoyue gently reached out her arms to wrap around Qin Yuan's neck, her tone tender, "What is it? You have been deep in thought since just now; has some problem arisen?"

Qin Yuan subconsciously shook his head.

He did not voice the suspicions in his heart, as they were too bizarre and made him seem overly paranoid.

But the feeling from just a moment ago had left an extremely distinct mark on his heart.

And it was at this moment that Qin Yuan's gaze inadvertently swept past the window, and he suddenly saw a back that looked extremely familiar to him, his eyes instantly narrowing.

He stared fixedly at the direction in which the figure disappeared, in disbelief and even somewhat horrified.

"Qin Yuan?!"

The next second.

Yi Yaoyue did not even have time to conceal it, letting out an exclamation.

Qin Yuan vaulted out of the window in one motion.

Conversely, Qin Yuan did not hear Yi Yaoyue calling after him at all.

He sped toward the direction of his dead soldiers, with only one thought in his mind.

Impossible! How could she still be alive?

Wasn't she already dead! Yu Ruowei could not possibly still be alive!

How could the back he just saw be her? But...

Why was it so familiar?! (End of chapter)
