Wu Zheng looked down and spoke a while later . “She went to look at the situation in the mountain village and went to the back of the mountain afterward . ”

“Back of the mountain?” The Apothecary stopped whatever he was doing and turned around immediately . His eyes, which seemed to have been through the vicissitudes of life, sharpened . “The night is misty, and the back of the mountain is all steep slopes and cliffs . Lord Ye is young and should be more careful . You must pay attention and not let her be injured . ”
Wu Zheng narrowed her eyes and did not reply .
The Apothecary wiped clean his hands and looked at Wu Zheng’s side profile . The expression in the Apothecary’s eyes changed for a moment as he casually sat down at a side and took a sip of tea .
“Perhaps, I was overly worried . Lord Ye is a sect disciple and is obviously different from us . With her skills, she would not be injured . Why would a noble sect disciple need us, ordinary people, to worry for them? Rather, it is us who would become their burdens in times of danger…”
A rather husky voice with unclear meanings traveled into Wu Zheng’s ears .
The moment Wu Zheng heard the word “burdens,” his fists on the table were suddenly clenched, and he lowered his head even further .

“Lord Ye saw the inscription on the tablet at the cliff…”
The Apothecary’s eyes changed and turned hazy for a moment .
“Oh? Did she say anything?”
Wu Zheng replied . “That tablet had already been so broken, and the sky is dark . How can she see anything?”
The Apothecary leaned back in his chair and narrowed his eyes . After a sigh, he said bafflingly, “Yeah, it is already dark . Even if something happens… no one would know . ”
Wu Zheng’s shoulder stiffened while the Apothecary stood up and walked out straight .

In the pavilion, Ye Qingtang knocked on Lin Long’s door after washing up a little .
Lin Long was a little surprised to see Ye Qingtang but let her in without saying anything .
“How do you feel, Senior Sister Lin?” Ye Qingtang asked after entering the room .
Lin Long looked at the glaring blood spots on her arm and said calmly, “Nothing unusual . ”
Ye Qingtang slowly sighed in relief . She did not know much about this Blood Plague .

“Senior Sister Lin, why were you appointed here with Zhou Xuan?” Ye Qingtang asked with a faked casual tone . She already had a guess in her heart, but there was a fatal loophole .
Lin Long did not know why Ye Qingtang suddenly asked of this but replied regardless . “This mission was instigated by Zhou Xuan . Zhou Xuan and I did our mission at the same time previously, and according to the calculation, there will only be new sect missions appointed at least half a month later . However, Zhou Xuan suddenly requested to accept a sect mission in advance . Thus, this Spirit Condensation Mountain Village mission was appointed to us . ”
Sect missions were appointed at regular time intervals . Zhou Xuan accepted a new mission half a month in advance, and subsequently, Lin Long, who completed the previous mission the same time as him, was dragged into this new mission as well .
The moment Lin Long finished her sentence, Ye Qingtang suddenly stood up, and a cold light flashed across her eyes .
She finally found the reason for the loophole in her guess!
If it was really what she guessed, all the Xuanling Sect disciples in this mission would definitely die without a doubt .
But in her previous life…
It was already years after the current year when she entered the sect . And at that time, regardless of Zhou Xuan or Lin Long, both were still well and alive in the sect .
Ye Qingtang could not understand that but now…
Everything flowed!
