Chapter 89 Ancestor Hongyu
Chapter 89 Ancestor Hongyu
The island's teleportation array can transport people to a large reef in the South China Sea, so people need to fly on a sword or use a flying device to leave this area.
Therefore, as soon as Su Luo left the teleportation array, she immediately took out the Wind Travel Boat, affixed a Swiftness Talisman and an Invisibility Talisman, and sped up her journey north.
However, before picking up Qinghe and her family, she needed to go to a certain place first...
What Su Luo didn't know was that not long after she left, a winged bird followed closely behind, flapping its wings frantically to catch up.
With the help of more than ten talismans, the speed of the Wind Chariot increased to five times that of before. In less than five days, Su Luo arrived at Lingbei, a desolate place with few people.
Su Luo had already inquired about it on her way here.
The mountains here stretch endlessly, towering and majestic, covered with lush vegetation, but they are perpetually shrouded in miasma and teeming with poisonous insects and wild animals, making this a forbidden zone that almost no one dares to venture into.
The Wind-Riding Boat continued forward, and before long, Su Luo, standing on the Wind-Riding Boat, saw the thatched huts faintly visible below. She quickly controlled the Wind-Riding Boat to fly over, then stopped a few hundred meters away from the thatched huts before lightly jumping down.
As soon as she stood firm, Su Luo put on a protective talisman and headed towards the thatched hut with her Crimson Flame Spear.
The thatched cottage stood quietly on an open space, its walls mottled and its exterior looking quite old. Next to it was a large vegetable garden, where the vegetables were growing well.
There was also a young woman bustling around inside.
Su Luo narrowed her eyes, stood in front of the vegetable garden, and quietly watched, not in a hurry to speak.
To everyone's surprise, the woman had already turned around and looked at him. "You've come?"
It was a young and beautiful face, but her eyes were incredibly mature and world-weary, creating a striking contrast.
"Didn't you ask Feng Xiyue to tell me to come at this time?"
Su Luo remained unmoved, because she knew that the young woman in front of her was none other than the Red Jade Ancestor of the Lingxiao Sect.
In this novel, the Crimson Jade Ancestor is one of only four Nascent Soul level experts in the world. She is the most powerful diviner in the world, most adept at discerning heavenly secrets, and the spirit world has repeatedly turned misfortune into good fortune through her abilities.
The Crimson Jade Ancestor smiled and said, "Little girl, you've got quite a temper."
Su Luo pursed her lips, offering no further explanation, and went straight to the point, "What do you need me for?"
Old Ancestor Hongyu got up, patted the mud off his clothes, and then walked out of the vegetable garden and toward the thatched hut.
"Alright, come inside and have a seat."
Su Luo didn't move. "Just tell me here."
"This is a long story, and I'm afraid it can't be finished in a short time," Ancestor Hongyu chuckled. "What? Did you think I would deliberately do something bad to you?"
"..."
Su Luo hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed obediently into the house.
No matter what, this person is still the patriarch of the Lingxiao Sect, and wouldn't bully the weak just because of his cultivation level. Besides, she often heard Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue talk about the patriarch's deeds, so she was indeed not a hypocritical and cold-hearted villain.
The two entered the thatched hut one after the other. Old Ancestor Hongyu sat down at a table first and busied herself making tea.
Su Luo sat opposite her, her eyes wandering unconsciously as she recalled the night before Feng Xiyue left.
That night, Feng Xiyue took the initiative to find her, and then bowed to apologize with a complicated expression.
“Su Luo, there’s something I’ve been keeping from you, and I’m really sorry. Actually… the reason I waited for you in Biyue Town wasn’t to give Chu Wenqing anything, but to see you.”
"After the Ancestor emerged from seclusion, she suddenly found me for some reason and asked me to go to Biyue Town to wait for you, to see you, and to report your current situation to her. That's all! There was no other purpose! Actually, I should have left after meeting you that day, but I really like you and I was very happy to be with you! So, that's why I went to the human realm with you!"
"I...I'm so sorry I lied to you...You can blame me, you can hit me, but I really didn't mean to use you to achieve anything! So far, apart from what happened that night in Biyue Town, I haven't mentioned anything else to the Ancestor! Really, please believe me!"
By the end, Feng Xiyue's eyes were red with sadness.
Having spent this time together, Su Luo could clearly see Feng Xiyue's sincerity. She could tell that Feng Xiyue was truly heartbroken and filled with self-blame.
So she sighed and then comforted the other person, saying that it was a task given to her by the sect's patriarch, and she had no choice.
Feng Xiyue felt even more guilty. It wasn't until she asked the other party why the Lingxiao Sect's patriarch wanted her to report on her situation that Feng Xiyue finally answered.
"I don't really know the specific reason either. The ancestor just told me to see you and not to disturb you if you were doing well, but to help you if anyone caused you trouble. I didn't expect that the people from Tianyi Sect would come to cause you trouble that very night."
Su Luo didn't understand why that ancestor would make such an arrangement, and she couldn't help but laugh at herself.
She's such a hot commodity! There are only four Nascent Soul stage experts in total. One is trying every means to get her back, and another has someone guarding her, afraid that something might happen to her...
Su Luo suddenly felt very tired.
Ever since she transmigrated into the novel, she's been involuntarily drawn into all sorts of messy affairs. Now that time has reversed and she's even left the Tianyi Sect, there are still people who won't let her go, always paying close attention to her, not to mention the dog-like Heavenly Dao that suddenly appears in the sky from time to time.
This is so annoying! Why are these people and these things so persistent in bothering her?! What sins did she commit in her past life?!
Finally, Feng Xiyue's words interrupted her random thoughts.
"By the way, Su Luo. Today, the Ancestor suddenly contacted me through the sound transmission stone and asked me to tell you something."
"What?"
"The exact words were, 'If you are troubled, go to Lingbei on August 1st and find a thatched hut. I will be waiting for you there. I will help you find the answer.' That's it..."
After thinking for a long time, Su Luo finally decided to seek answers from this person.
Thinking of this, Su Luo came back to her senses and calmly looked at Ancestor Hongyu, who just placed the tea in front of her.
"The Lingxiao Sect is very poor, and I don't have any good tea here, so please make do with this."
“Ancestor Hongyu, I have come here to resolve my doubts.”
Su Luo didn't even glance at the tea, and urged, "I don't understand, why are you Nascent Soul experts paying so much attention to me? I'm just an ordinary cultivator who isn't valued."
Of course, she's also the cannon fodder junior sister in the novel.
Hongyu Ancestor looked up and stared intently at Su Luo. Suddenly, she stopped smiling, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
"Su Luo, if I told you that the reason we're bothering you is because you're the key to saving this world, would you believe me?"
Su Luo's eyes suddenly darkened.
