Chapter 590 - 590 Entrusted

590 Entrusted

“From the looks of it, yes. This thing is too profound. Everyone’s experience seems to be different.”

Su Chong pondered for a moment. He did not expect Zhou Heng to have a different feeling from him.

What would happen if he persisted until the end? He really wanted to know, but he did not dare to take the risk. If he was too greedy, he would end up with nothing.

However, he could not rule out another possibility. Perhaps it was just the beginning of a new round of tests.

“Right, let’s ask them.”

Su Chong looked at Zhou Heng’s men.

They did not hide anything and reported respectfully. Their feelings were different.

“Sen Er, tell me about it.” Zhou Heng looked at one of the secret guards.

“Master, it was the same at first, but I felt it for a very long time. The feeling of being able to clearly sense it did not appear. Until I made the decision, that feeling had never appeared,” Moriji answered truthfully.

The others nodded. They had not sensed the feeling Su Xiaolu mentioned.

This time, everyone fell silent.

Sensing ability was an abnormal thing to begin with. It did not matter if they could not figure it out now.

In the future, perhaps in the near future, all the mysteries would be answered.

The forest seemed to get even colder. There would be frost at night, and it might snow soon. Everyone knew that it was time to go out. The winter here should be abnormally cold.

At night, the temperature dropped drastically.

Su Xiaolu couldn’t sleep. She walked out and found snowflakes in the sky.

This was a light snowfall that had yet to reach the point of snow.

It was colder inside than outside, and it snowed about a month earlier.

The camp was very quiet. The secret guards on the night watch didn’t talk to each other.

For some reason, Su Xiaolu suddenly thought of Zhou Zhi. She remembered that the people around Zhou Zhi seemed to be much more lively, but in terms of strictness, Zhou Heng’s people were stricter. They listened to orders and would not be emotional.

After two hours of light snow, the snow stopped.

Su Xiaolu returned to the wooden house to rest.

She sank her consciousness into the space. The little guy was very close to her. When it sensed her coming, it immediately whined and wanted to crawl out of the nest.

It seemed to have grown a little bigger. Now, it looked as big as a newborn puppy. Its long tail became shorter, and its white fur was more comfortable than good silk.

Su Xiaolu held it in her arms and it flipped its stomach for Su Xiaolu to touch.

It still did not open its eyes. Su Xiaolu put it down after playing for a while.

At dawn, the group began to leave.

The journey out was also very smooth. Small animals were nothing to be afraid of, and they did not encounter any large ones.

The layer of fog isolated the two regions. In comparison, it was not cold outside at all.

This time, Su Xiaolu, Old Wu, and Gui You really decided to leave.

Zhou Heng was also preparing to return to the capital.

At night, Su Chong came to the inn. As he ate, he asked, “Xiaolu, we’re going back to the capital. Where are you going? Do you want to go together?”

“I’ll be in the capital in November. It won’t take that long to go back. I’ll listen to the two Masters.”

It was already October and she had to detoxify Zhou Zhi in November. It was inevitable that she would return to the capital.

However, it was still early. She could still accompany her two Masters.

“The three of us have to play around. We won’t be able to go with you.”

Old Wu stroked his beard and said. Traveling with his disciple was different from traveling normally. He would walk around Furongzhou and pass by Jizhou to ascend the Immortal Monarch Mountain. Then, he would play all the way back to the capital and guarantee that they would enter the capital in November.

After the new year, he would take the girl and go back to the further north. He would bypass the north and go to the west. Then, he would go to the south and finally return to the capital.

The three of them could visit all the new areas. They did not believe that they would not gain anything along the way.

“Alright, then let’s say goodbye. Uncle-Master, Master, have a safe trip.”

Su Chong smiled.

They would let Su Xiaolu see the good scenery on their behalf.

Su Chong returned after dinner.

Gui You stared at Old Wu as he trained. Old Wu began to wail again.

Su Xiaolu did not look at the old man. She went back to her room.

She could only wait until it was about time before coming out to apply medicine on the old man.

After packing up, she returned to her room to sleep.

Before dawn, Su Xiaolu was woken up by the commotion.

She rubbed her eyes and listened. It sounded like Chen Xi and his wife.

Not long after, Chen Xi and his wife left.

The two Masters did not come to call her, so Su Xiaolu fell asleep again.

At dawn, Su Xiaolu woke up.

The three of them ate breakfast together. Old Wu said, “Girl, we’re going to Yulin. Your Uncle-Master Niu is about to pass away.”

Su Xiaolu was very surprised. “Uncle-Master Niu, he…”

They had only been separated for a few months, but the next time they met was to part.

Su Xiaolu thought of that warm and kind face and felt a little sad.

“Master, let’s go over quickly.”

Su Xiaolu thought of Little Niu. His smile was very bright and he had cute canine teeth. He must be very sad.

Old Wu nodded. After dinner, the three of them immediately set off for Yulin.

Yulin was a little far away. When they arrived in Yulin county, it was already the sixteenth of October.

Su Xiaolu asked worriedly, “Master, where are we going to find Junior Brother and the others?”

Old Wu sighed. “Life is like dust. It’s naturally the most downtrodden place. Your Uncle-Master Niu has suffered from hunger and poverty all his life. It’s the same even when he dies.”

As he spoke, Old Wu took a small piece of silver and asked a beggar on the street where the most dilapidated temple in Yulin county was.

The beggar happily took a bite of the silver. Seeing that it was real, he happily put it away and said with a smile, “Benefactor, if you want to talk about the most dilapidated place in Yulin county, it should be the Treacherous Official Temple in Sanlipo, west of the city. It can’t shelter you from the wind or rain. Even beggars won’t stay there. Everyone who passes by will spurn it. It’s worthy of being number one.”

After finding out the location, the few of them headed there.

When they arrived, Su Xiaolu’s heart ached.

The weeds were taller than the house, and the roof was so tattered that there was not even a tile. There was no one here.

There was no sign of anyone coming or going here. Gui You had already grabbed Old Wu and jumped. Su Xiaolu followed.

The dilapidated house was filled with smelly moss and mud.

By the wall, Su Xiaolu saw a figure that made her heart ache.

It had only been two months since they parted. Elder Niu’s face was deathly pale, and Little Niu knelt beside him, chanting sutras for him non-stop.

“Junior Brother.”

Su Xiaolu choked.

Gui You and Old Wu had already stepped forward. Gui You injected some Internal force into Elder Niu. Old Wu took Elder Niu’s pulse and took out the silver needles to perform the acupuncture.

Su Xiaolu held Little Niu’s hand. She felt terrible. Little Niu’s hand was so cold. He had lost weight and was almost skin and bones. She did not know how many days he had not eaten. The skin on his mouth was dry and bloody, and there were tear marks on his cheeks.
