Zhang Wuji felt a sense of melancholy in his heart, but still forced himself to be hopeful, full of expectation as he said, "Then I wonder where the path is for you to come down. Can I still go back now?"
Zhang Wuji planned to have the person in front of him take him out of this valley. Although this valley seemed like a paradise, it was too desolate, with hardly any birds or beasts appearing.
Jiang Han nodded and said, "I came down from the cliff outside. The rope should still be there..." Before he could finish, Zhang Wuji's face lit up with excitement as he exclaimed, "So I can go out now?!"
Overcome with excitement, Zhang Wuji didn't notice that the clothes wrapped around his waist had quietly fallen off.
Jiang Han facepalmed and said, "Little brother, you should put your clothes on first!"
Zhang Wuji's face turned bright red as he hurriedly put on his clothes.
After a moment, he pulled Jiang Han over to the fire and placed the prepared fish above it.
"Here, this is for you." Jiang Han casually tossed some seasoning over.
Zhang Wuji licked his lips, grinning as he accepted it and asked, "Brother Jiang, you said you also suffer from Cold Poison?"
Jiang Han nodded and replied, "That's right. I came here this time to find a rather spiritual White Ape to retrieve the secret manual that my ancestor had placed in its belly to resolve this terrifying Cold Poison."
Jiang Han skillfully shifted the topic to the search for the White Ape and the Nine Yang Manual, preventing this chatterbox from going on endlessly. Tilting his head slightly, Jiang Han seemingly casually asked, "Brother Wuji, you have been here for a while; have you encountered the White Ape?"
Zhang Wuji thought for a moment and then shook his head, saying, "There are plenty of little monkeys in these mountains that I have seen, but I have not had the chance to meet the White Ape. However, since monkeys tend to live in groups, it shouldn't be too difficult to find them."
At this point, Zhang Wuji looked at Jiang Han and said, "Brother Jiang, do you also suffer from Cold Poison? I do as well. By the way, is the Nine Yang Manual the supreme internal skill practiced by Master Jueyuan of Shaolin Temple? I heard my Master mention that only this divine skill can completely cure my Cold Poison. Speaking of which, both of us are afflicted with Cold Poison and share similar circumstances; it's truly fate that we ended up here together."
The simple-minded Zhang Wuji attributed all these coincidences to fate and did not think too much about it. Perhaps it was because he had been cooped up here for several days without having a proper conversation with anyone, or maybe it was due to Jiang Han being around the same age as him and sharing similar experiences; Zhang Wuji seemed quite chatty and friendly at this moment.
Even someone as naturally quiet and cold as Jiang Han found it difficult to develop any feelings of dislike towards someone as kind and innocent as Zhang Wuji.
It was through their increased interactions that Jiang Han truly realized that Zhang Wuji was not a complicated person, especially now, as Zhang Wuji still retained a kind and simple heart.
"Well, once I find the Nine Yang Manual, I will share it with you, not for any other reason, but just to ensure that this simple and honest person can live a little longer."
As for the position of Manichaeism Leader? There was no way he would relinquish it; it had long been reserved for him!
In the following days, Jiang Han had Zhang Wuji lead him around the valley in search of traces of the White Ape. They turned the entire valley upside down but still found nothing.
Zhang Wuji had actually given up in his heart long ago; he was never one to have much perseverance. However, seeing Jiang Han still holding on, and knowing that the Nine Yang Manual was crucial for them to resolve the Cold Poison afflicting them, he gritted his teeth and continued to accompany him into various remote areas.
Finally, on the morning of the seventh day, Jiang Han and Zhang Wuji finally found traces of the White Ape, and the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell.
Though he maintained a calm exterior over these days, deep down he had doubted whether his arrival in this world had triggered some butterfly effect, or if the White Ape had learned that humans were searching for him through the monkey group and had hidden away.
After all, even in the original work, the White Ape did not appear as soon as Zhang Wuji showed up. This highly intelligent White Ape must have been observing in the shadows for a long time, confirming that Zhang Wuji meant no harm before gathering the courage to reveal itself and seek help from Zhang Wuji.
"Don't move, we're here to save you!" Seeing the White Ape scream and retreat, Jiang Han couldn't help but step forward and pat its forehead, smiling as he spoke.
"Chirp chirp~" The White Ape retracted its fierce expression, looking somewhat suspiciously at Jiang Han and Zhang Wuji, and took a few steps back.
Zhang Wuji noticed the pus-filled wound on the White Ape's belly and quickly approached the now calmed White Ape, smiling as he said, "It might hurt a bit next; just bear with it."
Zhang Wuji had learned some medical skills from Hu Qingniu. Although he wasn't a master in the field, handling wounds and addressing minor infections like this was well within his capabilities.
Soon, the scriptures from the White Ape's abdomen were extracted by Zhang Wuji. When he handed the scriptures to Jiang Han, the Mechanical Voice in Jiang Han's mind rang out again: "Congratulations to the host for completing the Sign-in Task. Reward: 80% proficiency in the Nine Yang Manual."
