Chapter 309 Mysterious and Unpredictable
"You mean you met the trapped World Spirit in the True Blood Palace, and the World Spirit told her the truth of history, while she sent some important information to the outside world through a letter."
At that moment, the lines written in blood suddenly flashed into Li Xiaoyi's mind, and he said in shock, "Then those lines are the key to saving the World Spirit!"
Shen Xu pondered for a moment before replying, "That should be the case. Huo Yan must have tried to rescue the World Spirit, but she ultimately failed."
But the fact that she was able to venture into the True Blood Palace alone and meet the Realm Spirit shows that Huo Yan's strength is definitely not weak. The question is, what exactly did she encounter in the True Blood Palace that forced her to write that blood-written letter?
"Sister Yunyao said your guess is very likely the truth. If the spirit of the Blood Central Realm were still alive, it wouldn't allow the Blood Central Realm to become like this. As for what's inside the True Blood Palace, we'll only know if we go in."
If things are really as you suspect, then we must rescue the Realm Spirit, as it is almost our only hope of returning to the True Origin Continent.
But you don't need to worry too much. Even if Sister Yunyao can't act freely, I can still keep you safe.
"Huo Yan is a disciple of Mingkong Sword Saint of Yuancang Sword Sect. She definitely has more ways to protect herself than you do. It's best to be careful in everything you do. I'll go see Xiao Jing tomorrow. I think he should know something."
“Yuancang Sword Sect? That seems to be a sacred place where the Sword Saint once stayed for a period of time,” Li Xiaoyi said thoughtfully.
"What a coincidence?"
"It shouldn't be a coincidence. Yuancang Sword Sect is the closest holy land in Zhongzhou to Ningzhou. The status of the elders of Yuancang Sword Sect is also an important factor in the Sword Saint's ability to establish the Four Directions Sword Alliance."
"I'll go with you to see Xiao Jing tomorrow! There are some things you should discuss privately."
……
The next morning, Shen Xu and Li Xiaoyi knocked on Xiao Jing's door. When they saw the woman who had been standing with Xiao Jing the day before opening the door, Shen Xu's eyes widened in surprise.
"Sister Fan, we came here to see Brother Xiao. Is he here?"
"He's inside. What do you want with him?" Fan Qi asked, somewhat puzzled.
“I know a girl whose father has the same name as Brother Xiao, and they are about the same age, so I wanted to ask Brother Xiao to confirm whether she has a daughter.”
"Xiao Jing does indeed have a daughter. May I ask her name?"
"Her name is Xiao Si! She's from the Xiao family of Fumo City."
"It really is! I never expected to get news of his daughter here. It's fate. Please come in, both of you. I think Xiao Jing must also be eager to know about Xiao Si." Fan Qi seemed pleasantly surprised.
"Then excuse me."
"We should thank you for bringing news about Xiao Si."
"Do you know Xiao Si too?"
“I don’t know Xiao Si personally, but I’ve heard Xiao Jing mention that he feels very sorry for his daughter.”
He really wanted to ask about the woman's relationship with Xiao Jing, but it was someone else's family matter, and it would be impolite for him to ask too many questions.
"Qi-mei, didn't you say I don't receive guests?" The man in the room said with some dissatisfaction after seeing Fan Qi lead them into the room.
“Xiao Jing, Brother Shen and Miss Li said they have news about Xiao Si, which is also news about your daughter.”
"Brother Xiao, I apologize for my intrusion in visiting you."
"Xiao Si? Are you sure it's Xiao Si?" Xiao Jing's face showed an expression of disbelief.
"There's probably only one Xiao Si left in Fumo City."
"Is she...is she alright?" Xiao Jing asked hesitantly.
“Not good. Her health has always been poor. Only Old Master Xiao cares about her a little. Your brother sees her as a threat, and Old Master Xiao is nearing the end of his life. He probably won’t be able to protect her for much longer. Perhaps her final fate will be to be married off to a stranger by your brother!” Shen Xu replied with a smile.
"How could this be?" Xiao Jing clenched his fists.
Seeing this, Shen Xu gave Li Xiaoyi a wink, realizing that it was indeed inappropriate to talk about old flames in front of a new love.
"Sister Fan, you haven't finished telling me the story you told me last time. I wonder if you could finish it this time?" Li Xiaoyi asked Fan Qi.
Fan Qi glanced at Xiao Jing and Shen Xu, nodded, and then led Li Xiaoyi out of the room.
After the two left, Shen Xu casually found a seat and sat down, then slowly asked, "Why did you leave when Xiao Si was so young?"
I don't need to answer your question.
“Xiao Si entrusted me to find her mother, and I also changed her tragic fate. I think I should be qualified to ask you this question on her behalf.”
"I'm also looking for her mother! And do you think I'd willingly abandon her?" Xiao Jing's emotions were inexplicably agitated.
"But as far as I know, you lied to Huo Yan and made her marry you. All she asked you to do was to take good care of Xiao Si. Not only did you fail to do so, you also took away the cultivation resources that Huo Yan left for Xiao Si."
"Who are you?" Xiao Jing suddenly stood up.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is whether you have any defense against what I've said?" Shen Xu's lips remained curved in a smile.
"I did lie to Huo Yan and betray her trust, but I didn't take any of the cultivation resources she left for Xiao Si!"
"You mean the Xiao family didn't give those cultivation resources to Xiao Si? That's impossible! I gave all those things to my father. Didn't you say he cared about Xiao Si the most? How could he not give them to her?"
Xiao Jing became more and more agitated as he spoke, and finally went directly to Shen Xu's side to confront him.
"Facts speak louder than words. No matter how loudly you speak, you can't change the fact that Xiao Si cultivates spiritual blood." Shen Xu picked at his ear.
"How could she cultivate spiritual blood!" Xiao Jing was stunned and took two steps back.
"You underestimated people's hearts, and you also underestimated Huo Yan."
"Let me ask you another question. How do you know that Huo Yan has been to the True Blood Palace?" Shen Xu asked casually.
"It was President Gu of the Ancient Methods Research Association within Yunyang Academy who told me. He approached me and said that Huo Yan was very likely to come to the True Blood Battlefield to find the True Blood Palace. It was after hearing his words that I decided to leave Xiao Si and come here to find Huo Yan," Xiao Jing replied in a deep voice.
"What!" Shen Xu felt his mind go blank.
Huo Yan, Xiao Jing, He Yu... and himself, were all gathered at the True Blood Palace by that old guy. What exactly does he want to do?
"Do you remember what he told you?" Shen Xu quickly asked.
"He only said that if I was fast enough, I could catch up with Huo Yan. Huo Yan did come here, but I still didn't catch up with her in time. In the end, I wanted to go back but I was trapped here and could never get out again," Xiao Jing said, and couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Shen Xu frowned: "On the one hand, he sent Huo Yan to the True Blood Palace, and on the other hand, he asked Xiao Jing to bring Huo Yan back. The old man's actions are very contradictory."
Shen Xu felt that sending Huo Yan to the True Blood Palace was the old man's real purpose, but why did he take the initiative to find Xiao Jing? What was there about Xiao Jing that the old man could scheme against? He simply couldn't figure out the old man's motives.
“I’ve never heard Xiao Si use the term ‘father’ before. She must hate you. Be prepared for what’s to come.”
"Can I still go out?" Xiao Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It's all up to human effort. I promised Huo Yan that I would take good care of Xiao Si. Bringing her father to her side is also a way of taking care of her. Besides, you didn't intentionally abandon her."
Just wait! The day will come when we get out.
"You promised Huo Yan!! Has Huo Yan gone back?" Xiao Jing's voice suddenly became excited again.
"No, it's a message she left for me in her jade pendant."
"Jade pendant?" Shen Xu felt as if he had grasped something, but it was also somewhat elusive.
