I never thought I would get myself into so much trouble, getting entangled with ghosts and monsters, and now it has even led to the Exiled Ridge Lineage.
Thinking about this, my expression suddenly turned grim as I looked at He Si, who lay unconscious on the bed, and asked Gu Chen and the others, "Master, did Fourth Brother say anything about Mu Yan when you found him?"
No matter what, seeing He Si like this made me most worried about Mu Yan.
Gu Chen nodded slightly but didn't rush to answer.
Seeing his hesitant demeanor, my heart tightened, and I tentatively asked, "Did something happen to Mu Yan?"
With He Si in such a state, it was hard not to think the worst.
Noticing my sudden change in expression, Gu Chen shook his head and said, "No."
I frowned slightly and asked, "Then what is going on?"
Gu Chen sighed and replied, "When we found He Si, he only said one thing before falling unconscious."
A wave of concern washed over me as I asked, "Master, what did Fourth Brother say?"
He looked at me and then said, "He mentioned that Mu Yan was taken by a person with suspicious movements, and he was injured while pursuing this person."
A person with suspicious movements.
I immediately furrowed my brows tightly and couldn't help but say, "That person must be from the Exiled Ridge Lineage."
Gu Chen nodded and said, "Maybe."
I immediately felt anxious and exclaimed, "Then what do we do now? If Mu Yan falls into their hands, what will they do to him?"
I looked at Gu Chen with a pale face, my heart suddenly filled with immense worry.
Gu Chen's expression was grim, and he remained silent. Zhou Zhen, noticing this, quickly reassured me, "Xiao Lin, don't panic. Even if we rush now, it won't help. Let's wait for He Si to wake up and see if there’s any news."
I nodded, but my heart felt as if countless ants were crawling over it; I couldn't relax at all.
Xiao Juan also noticed my concern and chose to remain quiet this time, not bothering me.
After a moment of silence, Mingyue suddenly said, "Perhaps there's a place you can visit that might yield unexpected results."
Her words made us all furrow our brows. I couldn't help but ask first, "What place?"
Mingyue interjected at that moment, and I thought whatever she was referring to must be related to Mu Yan, which is why I was so anxious.
Mingyue didn't answer directly but said calmly, "When dawn breaks tomorrow, I'll take you there."
I wanted to ask more questions, but seeing Mingyue's demeanor clearly indicated she didn't want to elaborate further, so I had to let it go.
Gu Chen then casually told Anfu, who was standing nearby, to book a room for Mingyue. Anfu nodded and went off to do so without any objections from Mingyue.
The room was ready, and Mingyue naturally returned to her own room to sleep. She glanced at the time; it was still not late. Gu Chen then instructed Anfu to stay in He Si's room to take care of him.
After that, he told everyone to go to bed, but I couldn’t sleep. So, I got up and knocked on Gu Chen's door.
It was clear that Gu Chen was also still awake. Hearing the knock, he quickly opened the door. When he saw it was me, he didn’t ask much and simply said, “Come in.”
I nodded and closed the door behind me as I walked in. Gu Chen leaned against the bed and looked at me calmly, saying, “Speak up. What’s on your mind?”
I was slightly taken aback but quickly nodded again. I had indeed come to him with some thoughts. Without hesitation, I said, “Master, I want to learn skills. I want to become strong enough to protect myself and those around me.”
After speaking, I quietly watched Gu Chen, my breathing a bit rapid.
Gu Chen looked at me with a calm expression, raising an eyebrow as he asked, “Those around you refer to Mu Yan, right?”
I nodded once more. Without a doubt, after spending some time together, Mu Yan had indeed become someone close to me; this was something I firmly believed in my heart.
Whenever I faced danger, Mu Yan would always appear by my side.
However, now that she was in danger, I not only wasn’t there for her but didn’t even know where she was. This made me feel ashamed and very sad.
So just now, I thought a lot about how I needed to become stronger and more capable instead of relying on others like I did now.
After a brief silence, Gu Chen didn’t speak but continued to look at me with an indifferent gaze. His steady stare made me a bit nervous; I wondered what he was thinking and whether my words would provoke his displeasure.
The room fell into a brief silence, and his gaze felt somewhat oppressive.
After a moment, he nodded at me and said, "You should go to sleep."
I immediately felt anxious and hurriedly replied, "But Master—"
"Go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow," Gu Chen said, waving his hand dismissively.
I swallowed the words I was about to say, feeling a bit dejected as I nodded and walked out of Gu Chen's room.
At that moment, I felt a mix of disappointment and anger. I had wanted Gu Chen to teach me some secret techniques or spells, but he had simply sent me away.
However, when I woke up the next day, what Gu Chen did next filled me with excitement.
Early in the morning, he came to my room and tossed a thin notebook at me. With a serious expression, he said, "This is a handwritten copy of the Spell Section from Lark's Secret Record. Study it carefully, but remember to keep it safe and never share it with anyone."
Upon hearing this, I was momentarily stunned, my eyes wide with surprise as I looked at Gu Chen. I was captivated by the mention of the "Spell Section."
Nodding vigorously, I clutched the notebook tightly in my hands.
Seeing my excitement, he said calmly, "Lark's Secret Record has been passed down through our Ancient Family for generations, refined over time. Besides the Spell Section I've copied for you, there are two other volumes."
"What are the other two volumes, Master?" I asked eagerly.
“Feng Shui Scroll and Demonology,” Gu Chen replied calmly. “I will send you these two scrolls after some time. For now, focus on studying this.”
I quickly nodded and said, “Master, don’t worry. I will definitely study hard and won’t let you down.”
Gu Chen ignored my enthusiasm and coldly warned me, “You must remember one thing: cultivating these techniques is not something that can be achieved overnight. Haste makes waste; do not rush it, or unexpected troubles may arise.”
I nodded deeply, engraving his words in my heart.
Then Gu Chen said no more and casually added, “You should tidy up. Mingyue is already awake, and we will go with her shortly.”
Upon hearing this, I immediately asked, “Is she taking us to the place she mentioned yesterday?”
Gu Chen nodded. I quickly asked again, “Master, do you think the place she’s taking us to is related to Mu Yan, or could Mu Yan be at that location?”
As Gu Chen walked towards the door, he paused slightly but did not turn around. He nodded and said, “Perhaps.”
Good night, everyone. After reading this, you can check out the Maoshan Taoist Exorcism Records; the author and I know each other.
