Chapter 136: Zhao Qingzhu

Li Yu tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head, saying, "I'll go with you. In any case, I've already entered the Fourth Rank. In case we encounter danger, it can provide more security."

"You want to go with me?"

Lu Fang raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile.

Li Yu said indignantly, "I don't want to go with you, but what can I do? Who told you, Little Martial Uncle, to be so weak."

"Blame me?" Lu Fang hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head, "I need to do this thing alone. Rest assured, Martial Uncle, although my realm is a bit low, if I encounter a strong enemy, I can still run if I can't beat them."

The underground palace he was going to search for might have some unknown existence.

There was no doubt that it would be very dangerous there.

He would have liked to go with Li Yu, but if it were too dangerous, he would rather not.

Li Yu frowned and said, "Just pretend I don't exist. Go ahead and do your thing; I won't interfere with you."

Lu Fang shook his head, "I would also like to go with you, but I can only enter that place alone."

Li Yu nodded, "Then fine, Little Martial Uncle, go ahead. I will cultivate here for a while longer. If you finish that matter, if it's early, you can come find me."

"Okay," Lu Fang replied. After saying goodbye, he walked toward the outside of the temple. He sensed it, frowned slightly, and didn't feel any movement from the bloodline white jade.

It should be because this place was very far from that underground palace.

Even if various places in the trial grounds were dangerous, he had to try to reach these places as much as possible.

The trial grounds were very large. Lu Fang searched for the underground palace in a circular manner. After two days, he had gained nothing, but he had encountered several evil-intentioned monks. Fortunately, the other party's strength was not strong, and he easily avoided them.

It wasn't that he didn't have the strength to fight; he just didn't want to waste energy in this kind of place.

Most of the trial grounds were desert areas, with only a small portion being oases and mountain ranges. Special places like abandoned, dilapidated temples were extremely rare.

At least in the two days Lu Fang spent wandering around, he hadn't encountered a single one.

"Is this bloodline white jade really useful?"

Lu Fang tossed the bloodline white jade somewhat irritably. He wondered if the Fourth Senior Sister had done something to this white jade, after all, she didn't want him to take risks before.

Someone with Fourth Senior Sister's personality shouldn't do this.

After thinking for a while, Lu Fang still chose to believe in Fourth Senior Sister. After a short contact, he didn't think someone as heartless as her would do such a thing.

The two had been together all the time, and she was clear about Lu Fang's determination.

"Let nature take its course."

Lu Fang sighed and fled toward the east. When it got dark, he rested at the foot of a mountain range. After eating some food to fill his stomach, he began to sit and cultivate.

This kind of cultivation could not completely replace sleep, but for a month, it was possible to use cultivation to replace sleep.

Listening to the sound of birds and cicadas, Lu Fang fell asleep inadvertently. This situation was basically impossible to happen, but it happened here.

In a daze, Lu Fang opened his eyes suddenly. He was surprised to find that he was now on a grassy field, pitch black all around, and not far away was a pitch-black ancient castle.

"What's going on?"

Lu Fang had a bad premonition in his heart. He clearly remembered that he was cultivating, and for no reason, he fell asleep.

But soon he understood and looked at the ancient castle before him with pleasant surprise. If he wasn't mistaken, this was the place he was looking for.

Just then, the environment began to twist. Lu Fang felt as if he were in the darkness, and the pitch-black surroundings were gathering.

A beam of light shone down, and a woman appeared in the light.

Upon seeing the woman's appearance, Lu Fang blurted out, "Ling'er." But after looking carefully, he found that the woman's appearance still had some differences from Lu Ling's, but because they were similar, he would mistake her for her at first glance.

He realized, "Rita?"

The woman was somewhat surprised, and joy appeared in her eyes as she said, "You know me?"

Lu Fang laughed out loud. He had finally found someone. He remembered that the ascetic monk had also said that he saw Rita in a dream, and that was how he found the entrance to the underground palace.

On the spot, he told her about Lu Ling.

Rita covered her face and wept. Several times she wanted to speak, but she choked up so much she couldn't speak. It could be seen that her mood was very agitated now.

Lu Fang said somewhat tentatively, "How should I address you?"

Rita collected her mood, thought for a while, and said, "I have another name called Zhao Qingzhu. You can address me however you like."

Lu Fang replied and pursued, "The ascetic monk I encountered before said you were trapped in an underground palace. I don't know where the entrance to that place is?"

However, what Lu Fang didn't expect was that Zhao Qingzhu shook her head and said, "I didn't know that place was very dangerous before, but now I know, and I cannot tell you where that entrance is."

Lu Fang said somewhat anxiously, "Why? Don't you want to go out and see Ling'er? She really wants to see you."

Zhao Qingzhu couldn't help but cry out, but she still couldn't help shaking her head and saying, "I just want you to get out safely. You cannot come; that way I will harm you."

"You help me tell Ling'er that I didn't ignore her on purpose; there is a hidden reason. I am trapped here and can't go anywhere."

"After you go out, help me take good care of Ling'er. In the next life, I will definitely be a cow or a horse for you!"

"That won't do." Lu Fang shook his head, "You just tell me the entrance to the underground palace. Since I dare to come looking for you, I naturally have a certain confidence that I can save you."

Zhao Qingzhu still shook her head and said, "You really don't know the terror of that place. Leave here, go tell Ling'er that I really miss her."

Lu Fang was just about to persuade her again when the space began to twist again.

Zhao Qingzhu said full of emotion, "Time is running out. Don't stay here, go out and help me take good care of Ling'er."

Almost as soon as the words fell, everything disappeared.

Lu Fang opened his eyes suddenly. He found that he was still sitting cross-legged at the foot of the mountain range. The sound of birds and cicadas sounded somewhat annoying at this time.

"Was that just now a dream? Was it a case of 'thinking of something by day and dreaming of it by night'?"

He was somewhat uncertain.

Unlike the ascetic monk who obtained the location of the underground palace entrance from Zhao Qingzhu, Lu Fang now knew nothing, and he couldn't prove whether it was a dream or if he had really met a real person.

Zhao Qingzhu?

It didn't feel like a dream!

Lu Fang pondered for a while, somewhat leaning toward the idea that he had really met Rita. After all, this name Zhao Qingzhu couldn't have been something he thought of in a dream.

However, what surprised him somewhat was that the Shen family's intelligence hadn't found the name "Zhao Qingzhu." Was it because it was too remote? ===== CHAPTER 137 =====
