Chapter 1761: Chapter 1368: Elder Yuh Requests an Audience!
A strand of hair white as snow slipped down the side of Shi Wujue’s face, highlighting his elusive complexion, making it appear even paler!
Duo Shu felt for a moment that his master’s silhouette was incomparably desolate. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the words couldn’t come out!
Is the master’s heart cold?
The Shi Family has borne so much, endured so much for the people of the Ancient Country He Clan, yet just last night, those clan members did something that chilled their master’s heart—they suspected that their master, out of personal motives, would abandon them...
The master sent everyone away, telling them to return to the Sand Sea. Though the clan members were concerned for their master’s health, their hearts were filled with guilt, and they were too ashamed to face their master, so they chose to comply...
Now, beside the master, only he remains!
Seeing his master like this, even if Duo Shu is someone used to scheming and doing bad things, his heart ached too!
Isn’t it just a woman?
For a woman, his master is so melancholy and unhappy!
Duo Shu doesn’t understand love and romance. His whole life, he has adhered to the promise he once made, to protect the person in front of him. His only private wish is to avenge his brother Duo Ao’s death, but now, this vengeance seems unattainable...
"Duo Shu, do you think if she truly can unlock the Divine Demise Land, open the Goddess Palace, this palace..." Shi Wujue murmured softly, but soon shook his head on his own...
What does it matter?
Even if she can enter the Divine Demise Land, open the Goddess Palace, find the ultimate answer for the Ancient Country He Clan, and seek a slim chance of survival for him, what does it matter?
Who would love a man who meticulously plots against her?
Any woman wouldn’t, let alone that woman is Gu Changsheng!
"She will, Hall Master! She will! Didn’t her image appear on the bright moon? She is the one chosen by the Moon God, she will definitely be able to enter the Divine Demise Land, and find the opportunity for your longevity!" Duo Shu exclaimed anxiously upon hearing these words.
"But, if she finds out this palace’s identity, knows this palace is the person behind the scenes, then even if she finds that slim chance, she would not extend my life..." Shi Wujue responded, a self-mocking curve appeared on his lips, shaking his head with limitless bitterness.
"Hall Master, no, you have done so much for her. If it weren’t for her, your tribulation wouldn’t have arrived so early. Even if she finally knows the Hall Master’s identity, she will help you!" Duo Shu quickly stepped forward after hearing this.
But even after saying this, Duo Shu couldn’t be entirely convinced himself!
Will she?
Would Gu Changsheng, that woman, who is clear in her love and hatred, still be willing to extend the Master’s life after knowing the Master’s identity despite him doing so much for her?
Duo Shu was uncertain...
"Heh... this palace has nothing to ask for. The justice pursued by the Shi Family for ten thousand years, since she is the only opportunity to solve the mystery of the Ancient Country He Clan, this palace will not give up. This palace can die, this palace can sever emotions and love, but this thousand-year-old country guarded by my ancestors and this palace must not perish!" Very quickly, Shi Wujue took a deep breath, his face, that amazed the world, was filled with resolute determination as he spoke.
Riding a tiger and finding it hard to dismount!
In such a predicament, not just Gu Changsheng alone?
Is he not the same?
He regards the world as a chessboard, setting up this massive scheme, to fulfill the burden he carries, to live up to the trust of his ancestors, and for the lives of his clan people. But despite calculating everything, he miscalculated one thing—himself!
Since it was his own mistake, the flaw was within him, naturally, he will bear all consequences alone—after all, it’s just a death. The only hope before he dies is to break the shackles that have bound the Shi Family for millennia and to see her safe and sound...
"Hall Master, it’s time to take the medicine!" Seeing Shi Wujue’s complexion worsening, Duo Shu worriedly stepped forward again, offering the Jade Bowl in his hand.
Within the Jade Bowl, the blood shone like amber, clearly fresh blood...
Upon hearing this, Shi Wujue turned his head, glanced at the Jade Bowl, an uncontainable disdain flickering in his eyes, yet his death tribulation had triggered, the line of life and death already begun to extend, only the blood of clan members could extend his life—and he couldn’t die now...
Slender fingers reached out, took the Jade Bowl from Duo Shu’s hand. Shi Wujue’s lashes drooped slightly, opening his mouth to drink the fresh blood from the Jade Bowl in one gulp...
This life of eating raw meat and drinking blood...
He was living it now, and his Shi Family ancestors, unwilling, wanting their descendants to break free from the shackles, who knows how many generations had lived such a life...
This life is truly unbearably bitter!
Exhausted in body!
Even more exhausted in heart!
After taking the blood brought by Duo Shu, Shi Wujue held a scroll in his hand, placing it down powerlessly, and gradually closed his eyes.
When Diao Chan came to deliver medicine on Gu Changsheng’s orders, she found Shi Wujue’s courtyard empty, her face full of confusion. However, thinking of Shi Wujue’s unfathomable nature, she wisely kept silent.
And Shi Wujue, lying slanted on the soft couch, clearly had no intention of speaking. Apart from Gu Changsheng, no one could interrupt his rest; from beginning to end, he didn’t even open his eyes.
Until Duo Shu took the medicine delivered by Diao Chan, and Diao Chan turned to leave, Shi Wujue’s wicked but somewhat powerless voice sounded, "The tonic medicine came from her, it should be very good. You, drink it..."
"..." Duo Shu, hearing this, showed a face full of bewilderment.
"Now, of all the people in this hall, only you are left by my side to act as medicine, you must not die! Drink it, this hall does not want to drink what she brought..." Shi Wujue’s tightly closed eyes still did not open, and the hand by his side moved barely noticeably, yet he forced it down...
The medicine she brought...
What right do I have to drink it?
I’m probably the least qualified person in this world to enjoy her care!
I harmed her, then saved her, deceived her, yet love her...
Since knowing that the Female Star of the Occupation Room, Ying Zhao, was her, I have been scheming step by step, calculating step by step, and by the time I met her at Linyuan City, even if I wanted to regret, it was too late, because, once the move is made, there is no turning back, bearing so much upon my shoulders, I am the one with the least room to retreat!
If this feeling was really only to become a memory, then it’s better to learn to distance, to stay away, to spare myself from reprimanding myself at the final moment...
Holding the steaming hot medicine bowl brought by Diao Chan, Duo Shu had no clue of the complexities in Shi Wujue’s heart, and after thinking for a moment, felt his master’s words also made sense, because his master didn’t want to see those clan members who doubted him, at the moment, he was the only one left who could provide blood to maintain his master’s life, he indeed couldn’t afford to die!
As for the master, well, as his own master said, Gu Changsheng, no matter how brilliant her medical skills, she can cure diseases, but she cannot cure fates. As long as the mystery of the Goddess Palace remains unsolved, no one can change the master’s fate...
Thinking this way, Duo Shu didn’t hesitate and tipped his head back to drink the entire bowl of medicine!
Not drinking it would be a waste!
Gu Changsheng that woman, although not appealing, her medical skills are indeed good, compared to the witch doctors in the Sand Sea, she is much better, and tonic medicine, is just right to replenish his blood!
Shi Wujue, reclined on the soft couch, heard Duo Shu drink the medicine in one gulp, his long eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, but ultimately, there was no reaction at all!
After visiting Shi Wujue and dealing with Borjigin Lvchi’s annoying subordinates, Gu Changsheng felt refreshed. Without those annoying people, the air in the Guesthouse felt much fresher!
However, very soon, Gu Changsheng discovered that there was still someone a bit in her way!
For instance, Elder Yuh, who had once again come to request an audience!
Gu Changsheng looked at this man who was so heartless he could even abandon his own daughter, her eyebrows could not help but furrow.
It is said the tiger, though fierce, never eats its cubs, yet this saying clearly doesn’t apply to Elder Yuh, whose heart is truly harder than iron, very cruel indeed!
Yu Lianyi was brought back by herself, he naturally knows this, but still, he has said many good words in front of her, but not a single word about Yu Lianyi...
This is, indeed, truly heartless!
Ignoring Elder Yuh’s flattering words, Gu Changsheng turned her head to the person following behind Elder Yuh...
Among the Hidden World Clan, Yu Mansion and the Wei Family are connected through marriage, Gu Changsheng knows this, but now accompanying Elder Yuh is actually Elder Bai Wuao of the Bai Family!
Gu Changsheng had little impression of Bai Wuao, but she remembered well the woman from his family who did not appear on the Linyuan City stage, an entity of the Primordial Transformative Realm!
The Yu Family and she have deep-seated hatred, though Elder Yuh may have forgotten now, the skilled master Yuh Zhiqian from the Yu Family died when she fell into demonization, Gu Changsheng remembers this clearly, but the woman from the Bai Family, rumored also to be a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm, had never appeared in her sight from beginning to end, which is precisely why she escaped the catastrophe during the Hidden World Clan’s great tribulation at Linyuan City!
In hindsight, this Elder Bai who looks so harmless with his downcast eyes is indeed quite influential among those who can bounce around in the Hidden World Clan, otherwise, why would Elder Yuh bring him to see her?
"Southern Emperor, look, this is the Geomancy Map Fragments we found in the Valley of Forgetfulness. The Far North Land, the extreme north, the Southern Emperor must have heard of it. This fragment is the geomancy map fragment of the Far North Sand Sea, as long as it can be pieced together..."
