Chapter 275 Half a Life Gone

Gong Yuhe glanced at the contents of the box, then turned and left without looking at it again.

After Yun Fuzhao waited until he was completely gone, she immediately took out the box that had been under the table.

The box looked quite old; the red paint on the edges had worn away. She had intended to open it to take a look, but discovered that it still had a small seal.

It made her scared; could there be some kind of evil spirit inside?

Yun Fuzhao temporarily put it into his storage bag.

Shang Ji: "This is the treasure you've been looking for? It doesn't look special."

“Of course we can’t tell now,” Yun Fuzhao said, stepping outside. “We’ll only know once we open it.”

The disciple who had just entered the Qingwen Tower was taken aback. "Strange, why is the barrier emitting golden light?"

"Is there a problem? A lot of people are talking about golden light today."

One disciple, his face flushed, asked excitedly, "Could it be that the ascended Holy Son and Holy Daughter have arrived?"

"I can't say for sure."

Everyone was talking about it.

Meanwhile, Yun Fuzhao, who had obtained the Saintess's pass, was already furtively preparing to return to his residence.

Halfway there, Yun Fuzhao realized a very serious problem: could Gong Yuhe have already seen her puppet?

This is a very bad situation.

She immediately shared the puppet's perspective, but found that she couldn't wake it up no matter what she did.

Feeling inexplicably uneasy, Yun Fuzhao was pondering a solution when the white jade at her waist suddenly lit up.

Gong Yuhe: Isn't Sect Leader Yun coming back yet?

She immediately felt a jolt, as if she were about to defecate.

This clearly meant she understood that the one wasn't the real her. However, the thought that she could find a thousand reasons made her calm down.

She slowly returned to her temporary lodgings.

Gong Yuhe sat at the table, next to the puppet that had been destroyed.

Yun Fuzhao immediately rushed forward, her heart aching. "Your Highness, was it necessary to be so cruel?"

Gong Yuhe remained calm. "I'm sorry, I thought it was a ghost clan member who had infiltrated the Hall of Rebirth."

Yun Fuzhao carefully inspected the puppet and tragically discovered that it was almost completely destroyed, and he didn't even know if it could be repaired...

Perhaps because her facial expressions were too rich, Gong Yuhe paused for a second before asking, "Did you buy this with spirit stones?"

"hold head high……"

Points are similar to spirit stones, or even several times more expensive.

"I can compensate you tenfold."

"!"

Yun Fuzhao's expression changed incredibly quickly, "Really?"

Gong Yuhe nodded, "After all, I was in the wrong first."

She was happy to deal with such upright gentlemen; she didn't even have to ask, and they had already thought of compensation.

"But there's one thing I'm curious about: why did Sect Master Yun leave a puppet here?"

What is supposed to come will come.

Yun Fuzhao coughed. "It's not staying here. This puppet is to help me protect myself from harm. You know I have too many enemies now. If I run into assassins or something, this is to save my life."

I was just taking it out to check it out today. I was only gone for a short while, and you destroyed it.

Her expression was flawless.

That sounds like a very plausible story.

Gong Yuhe looked at her for a moment, but ultimately didn't continue the topic. "You said you had something important to discuss with me, what is it?"

"Ah, this..." Yun Fuzhao's brain was working at a fast pace, "It's Kong Hao. He said some strange things to me and told me to stay away from you."

Something flashed quickly in Gong Yuhe's eyes, like a shooting star. "You don't need to pay attention to what he said."

With the crisis averted, Yun Fuzhao plopped down next to him and took a swig of tea. "That inspector of yours didn't seem like a good person. Did he do anything to you?"

Gong Yuhe's eyelashes fluttered slightly. After a long while, he gently shook his head. "I am the Holy Son of the Hall of Rebirth. What can he do to me?"

"That's good."

Thinking of something, Yun Fuzhao added, "However, since we're in the Hall of Rebirth, let's keep our distance. Aren't you holy sons and daughters forbidden from having too much contact with the opposite sex?"

"...No need."

Gong Yuhe looked at her and said calmly, "The innocent will remain innocent."

"Too."

The two exchanged a few more words, and then Gong Yuhe left.

Yun Fuzhao watched his figure disappear.

For some reason, she always felt that he wasn't telling the truth.

However, she didn't think much of it and took out the box from the storage bag.

It was square, painted red on the outside, and had a musty smell, making it look very cheap and low-quality.

It's hard to imagine that this is a precious treasure hidden in the treasure map.

Yun Fuzhao picked it up and shook it; the contents of the box made a "thump-thump" sound.

The seal was complex and ancient; she had no idea how to work with it. Perhaps she should ask her master about such a thing.

Since there was no way to crack it, Yun Fuzhao could only put it back for now.

Speaking of which, ever since she used the small-scale illusion that time, her cultivation has been on the verge of breakthroughs.

Upon arriving at the Hall of Rebirth, this trend of breakthrough became increasingly apparent.

Yun Fuzhao quickly sat cross-legged, and within a few breaths, his cultivation broke through a minor realm, reaching the mid-stage of the Returning Void realm.

This trip to the Hall of Rebirth was worthwhile; I obtained treasures and achieved a breakthrough in my cultivation.

Shang Ji stretched and yawned. "Cultivation is such a hassle. Thinking about it this way, being a ghost isn't so bad."

Since he had nothing better to do, Yun Fuzhao started chatting with the ghost. "How long have you been dead?"

"...Couldn't you have asked more tactfully?"

"Oh, okay," Yun Fuzhao said carefully, "How old are you this year?"

The poem, hanging from the roof beam, says, "It's been so long, I've forgotten. Maybe over a hundred years."

"So long," Yun Fuzhao looked him over, "were you also a cultivator in your previous life?"

"Beast Tamer. Isn't that amazing?"

"It's okay, but worse than me."

"..."

That night, Kong Hao suddenly came to see her, saying that the Palace of Rebirth had held a banquet for her.

While it was said to be for her, it was clearly aimed at Jiaoyu.

"it is good."

After saying this, Kong Hao did not leave immediately.

Yun Fuzhao was somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"Um," Kong Hao said reluctantly, "I spoke too harshly during the day, please don't hold it against me."

"What did you say?"

Kong Hao choked, his cheeks flushing red, "Fine, you don't remember!"

He turned and left.

After taking a few steps, Kong Hao looked back and saw that Yun Fuzhao had already closed the door.

He didn't know what to say.

The fact that the Holy Son would specifically come to enlighten him on such a matter is surprising. If it were anyone else, the Holy Son would have kept his distance without him even needing to warn them.

But Yun Fuzhao...

Kong Hao recalled the momentary softening in the Holy Son's eyes when he mentioned her name. Alarm bells rang in his mind.

No matter how you look at it, something seems off about the Holy Son and her...

The inspector tortured the Holy Son simply because he got a little too close to Yun Fuzhao. If he were to have any more intimate contact in the future, the Holy Son would be half-dead...
