Lu Ying and Tao Nian were brought out of the dungeon by Yin Huan. From the looks of it, both of them were fine, except that they were poisoned by a Gu, which sealed their cultivation and strength.
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Ying stared at each other from a distance. Counting the time, they realized that they had not seen each other for more than seventy years since they separated at the age of twelve.
If they were not cultivators, then their separation at the age of twelve would be for life.
Jiang Yuebai felt mixed emotions and frowned. He didn't feel too much joy of reunion, but only a sense of relief to see that she was still alive.
Lu Ying saw Jiang Yuebai from afar, standing there, and just glanced at him, then turned her head away to avoid eye contact.
Because it was too dazzling, Jiang Yuebai was even more dazzling than Lu Ying remembered, making it impossible for her to open her eyes or breathe.
She tried her best and even risked her life to do something that failed, but Jiang Yuebai could solve it easily.
This made Lu Ying feel deeply frustrated, and this reunion happened at her most embarrassing time.
Jiang Yuebai sighed silently and glanced at the young female cultivator following behind Lu Ying. Although she had grown up, Jiang Yuebai still remembered that she had seen this Tao Nian before.
When she went to her grandfather's hometown to find Wuwei Temple and inherit the "Five Elements Return to Truth" technique, she went to the small town and saw from afar the four generations of the Tao family living together. Little Tao Nian was there at the time.
Could it be that the things he left behind in Mixianling that year led Tao Nian to the path of immortality
If this is true, then it is truly fate!
"Xia'er, Xia'er~"
Hearing Lan Biqing's voice, Jiang Yuebai retracted his gaze and turned around, and saw two female cultivators from the Snake Village, fully armed and wearing gloves that could isolate poisons, escorting a sixteen-year-old girl towards them.
The girl's hair was disheveled, she was bewitched and unable to speak, her hands were tied, and her eyes were defiant, like a lone wolf, glaring at Lan Biqing with hatred.
While struggling, Jiang Yuebai saw a large piece of snake scales exposed under her collar, which transitioned from gold to orange like the morning glow, which was also a characteristic of an alien.
Lan Biqing frowned at the sight of Lu Xiaer, and was somewhat worried that letting the tiger go back to the mountains might bring disaster.
Lan Biqing's original plan was to tame her for a while. If she really couldn't be tamed, she would leave her essence and blood to the fetal Gu, and then kill her to prevent future troubles.
As long as the fetal Gu absorbs the essence and blood of two people, plus the Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang Qi, it can conceive a fetus outside the body, saving women the pain of childbirth.
However, there are still many drawbacks and defects of the fetal Gu that have not been overcome. A large part of the reason why Lan Biqing has been using it on both men and women in recent years is to improve the fetal Gu.
Lan Biqing walked up to Lu Xiaer, her eyes as gentle as water, "Xiaer, don't blame me. It's really the rule of the Wu Clan that we can't tolerate alien blood. I know you don't like it here, so I'll be kind and let you go."
"Remember, once you leave, never return to the Wu Clan. There is information about your cheap father in here. If you want to find him, go to the Foreigner Country to look for him. He left in a very heartless way back then."
Lan Biqing stuffed a jade slip into Lu Xiaer's belt through her clothes, hoping that Lu Xiaer would go to her adoptive father to divert some of her hatred and not bring bad luck to her.
Lu Xiaer was obviously a little stunned. She looked around and saw Jiang Yuebai. She was stunned for a moment. Then she saw Lu Ying in the distance. She immediately became manic. She kept struggling and roaring silently, and her mouth seemed to be calling for her mother.
Lan Biqing asked someone to let Lu Xiaer go. Lu Xiaer staggered to Lu Ying, and their eyes met, both filled with tears.
Tao Nian comforted the two of them and glanced at Jiang Yuebai from time to time.
Lan Biqing handed two medicine bottles to Jiang Yuebai, "This contains the antidote to the poison in their bodies. When I go to Tianyan Sect in the future, Master Wangshu must remember our old friendship and come to pick it up in person, otherwise I might say something~"
Lan Biqing stretched out her hand towards Jiang Yuebai. She directly used the thread of her spiritual consciousness to roll away the medicine bottle. A stream of air spread out from her body, knocking the person away.
"I await your arrival!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuebai glanced at the three people in the distance, then turned and left.
Yinhuan took two steps to Lan Biqing's side and watched the few people leave the village with her. Yinhuan was filled with sadness. The person who disguised himself as a man in her village back then has now become the famous Wangshu Zhenjun of the Tianyan Sect.
If she had won the fight with Gu back then, who knows what would have happened.
"Chief, do you really want to let them go like this?" Yinhuan asked worriedly.
Lan Biqing tucked the loose hair behind her ears, and suddenly turned her head to stare at the silver ring.
Yinhuan was shocked, but there was a serious look in Lan Biqing's eyes. Yinhuan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded decisively.
"Then come with me. To be the village leader, you still have a lot to learn. I don't have much time to teach you."
*
Jiang Yuebai took Lu Ying and the others to the Shanhailou branch in Shezhai to rest for a while, and asked Yunchang to help them check thoroughly to make sure they did not have other Gu on their bodies.
In the backyard room, when Yun Shang was about to touch Lu Xiaer, Lu Ying hurriedly spoke out to stop her.
"Don't touch her. She is born with a poisonous body. She will become poisonous if you touch her."
"Let me do it."
Jiang Yuebai pulled Yun Shang away and directly pinched Lu Xiaer's hand. Lu Ying gasped in fear, and Tao Nian also stood up from the chair.
Lu Xiaer stared at Jiang Yuebai in a daze, "Are you...are you okay?"
The place where Lu Xiaer was touched was now emitting a very light blue color, which turned into poisonous mist and dissipated, invading Jiang Yuebai's body.
Because of Lu Xiaer's physique, it was very difficult for Lu Ying to raise her for sixteen years. Since she was a child, she had to use special cloth to touch Lu Xiaer. Several times, she was almost killed by the poisonous mist emitted from Lu Xiaer's body.
Jiang Yuebai was probing every part of Lu Xiaer's body while saying, "It's written in the book that your poisonous body is not extremely special. You can practice medical skills to neutralize the poison in your body, or you can practice corresponding poison skills to control it. If you can control it freely, you won't hurt others anymore."
Lu Xiaer's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she hurriedly asked, "Master, can you teach me?"
Lu Xiaer has been living in the Wu Clan's Toad Village for the past sixteen years, and the only place she has been to is the Shiwan Mountains. She has no way of learning about so many things in the outside world.
Lu Ying lowered her head in guilt, it was all because of her limited ability that she couldn't find a good martial arts method for Lu Xiaer.
Jiang Yuebai was sure that there was no other poison remaining in Lu Xiaer's body. He released her wrist and glanced at Lu Ying. From the time they left the Snake Village until now, Lu Ying still refused to look her in the eye. There was always something between them, just like when they were in Tianyan Sect.
Maybe a person's character cannot be changed just because you want to.
Jiang Yuebai said to Lu Xiaer, "Although I told Lan Biqing that you are my disciple before, I am sorry, I do not accept disciples. I was just trying to intimidate her."
Jiang Yuebai now has so many people in her lotus world, including ghosts, monsters, beasts and demons to take care of. If she accepts a disciple, he must be as dedicated and responsible as a master. She can't do it and has no confidence.
"In fact, I think what Lan Biqing said is correct. You can try to find your biological father. The Alien Country may be more suitable for you. After all, with the current situation in the Earth Spirit Realm, if your identity as an alien is exposed, you will still be in trouble."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaer subconsciously tightened her collar to cover the snake scales on her chest that spread to her back.
In fact, she was already extremely lucky. The only abnormal feature on her body was this piece of snake scale. She could cover it with her robes and live like a normal human monk.
But covering it up is just covering it up, it cannot change her bloodline.
Jiang Yuebai stood up and said, "You definitely can't stay in this Wu Clan any longer. You can discuss yourselves about where to go. Tell me when you've made your decision and I'll take you there."
Jiang Yuebai paused, looked at Lu Ying and said, "If you want to return to Tianyan Sect, I can also arrange it."
After saying that, Jiang Yuebai left the room alone. Yun Shang turned her head to look at her and could feel that Jiang Yuebai was not in a good mood.
The problem naturally lies with Lu Ying. People are different, and not all reunions after a long separation can be as free of grudges as those between Yun Shang and Jiang Yuebai.
After all, Lu Ying and Jiang Yuebai broke up because Lu Ying couldn't resolve the knot in her heart back then, so she chose to leave and escape.
Maybe... and maybe...
