Chapter 76 - The Mystery of Ye Tianxin
Ye Tianxin’s head was lowered. Due to her prolonged stay in the cave, she appeared listless. Most of the time, she appeared unconscious. Although her cultivation base had been disabled by her master, her physical constitution was good. The cold from the Cave of Reflection was not enough to take her life.
Out of curiosity, Mingshi Yin approached Ye Tianxin before helping her up. However, as soon as he touched her, he almost pushed her away out of shock. He discovered her skin was currently as white as jade, and her hair was much whiter than before as well. Without her cultivation base, it was inevitable that her body would deteriorate. However, it should not have deteriorated to this extent. He furrowed his brows as he thought to himself, ‘What’s happening? In any case, this isn’t normal.’
Zhao Yue asked, “Fourth Senior Brother, what’s wrong with Junior Sister Tianxin?”
“I’m not sure… I’ve never seen anything like this. She doesn’t seem to be hurt, and this isn’t a residual effect from losing her cultivation base. Look closely…” Mingshi Yin motioned toward Ye Tianxin’s skin with his eyes. There were no wrinkles on her skin. It was smooth just like a piece of white jade. He was also at a loss as to why she was unconscious.
“Junior Sister Zhao Yue, please look after her. I’ll try to beg for mercy from master.”
“Senior brother… Junior Sister Tianxin has committed such a grave mistake, what if master no longer cares about her?” Zhao Yue was slightly worried. She had a feeling there was something else afoot apart from her cultivation base that had been disabled. She could not help but feel that it was dangerous.
Mingshi Yin did not waste any time and shot out of the Cave of Reflection. When he saw some of the female cultivators from the Derived Moon Palace hurrying about, he called out to one of them, “Prepare a stretcher…”
“M-mister Fourth! Why do you need a stretcher?”
Zhao Yue gave it some thought before answering, “I don’t know.”
“When you’ve sorted out your thoughts, we’ll talk more about witchcraft,” Lu Zhou said before he left. He saw that Zhao Yue’s loyalty was only about 30. That was far from enough.
Moreover, this was Lu Zhou’s first time dealing with witchcraft. It would be easier for him to kill someone. A Deadly Strike Card would have done the trick. However, item cards could not be used to undo witchcraft spells. Since he was still uncertain about Zhao Yue, it was best to leave her in the Cave of Reflection for now.
After leaving the Cave of Reflection, Lu Zhou made his way to the south pavilion. This was where his nine disciples once lived.
Little Yuan’er and Mingshi Yin quickly caught up to Lu Zhou.
Little Yuan’er asked, “Master, how did Senior Sister Tianxin end up in that state?”
