Feng Hongying was fuming. Who wanted to exchange pleasantries with you?
Since Qi Xiao left Qingjing Peak, he had become increasingly audacious, even dropping the honorifics for his senior sisters and daring to speak to them like this?
Feng Hongying wanted to say more, but Su Lingyue pulled her back. She looked at Qi Xiao with a complicated expression and sighed softly.
"I know you have suffered in the past, and it's normal that you don't want to see us now. I will handle these matters, and I will come to find you later."
With that, Su Lingyue forcefully dragged the girl in red away.
Feng Hongying widened her eyes, wanting to curse some more, but a single glance from Su Lingyue silenced her. Although Song Xiaoling felt reluctant, seeing her senior sister's stance, she chose not to persist any further.
Qi Xiao watched them leave, feeling perplexed.
Su Lingyue's words seemed to imply she was defending him, as if she wanted to stand up for him. But he had already left Qingjing Peak; the past held no significance for him anymore and only brought annoyance.
What puzzled him was the meaning behind Su Lingyue's statement. Did she still harbor hopes of bringing him back to Qingjing Peak?
Qi Xiao felt utterly speechless and even found it somewhat amusing. Where did Su Lingyue get her confidence from, thinking he still wanted to return to Qingjing Peak?
Let them deal with those wretched people and matters themselves! How could he ever forgive those who had wronged him in his previous life?
On the other side, Feng Hongying was shaking her fists, eager to go back and confront Qi Xiao.
"Senior Sister, I think we shouldn't have been so polite to that brat just now. If we didn't teach him a lesson, he won't know his place!"
Su Lingyue frowned and snapped softly, "Enough."
Feng Hongying turned away helplessly, crossing her arms in frustration, clearly displeased.
Song Xiaoling voiced her discontent. "Senior Sister, although Fifth Junior Sister was a bit impulsive, she wasn't wrong. Qi Xiao doesn't care for us; why should we put on a warm front for someone so cold?"
Hearing this, Su Lingyue sighed again, her emotions growing more complicated.
Her junior sisters were too naive; they had no idea what had transpired before. Remembering the outcomes of their previous lives tightened her heart and made her resolve even stronger.
This time, no matter the cost, she was determined to set things right.
In the pharmacy, the Third Elder scrutinized the girl’s dazed and wooden expression, puzzled.
This isn’t right. There’s nothing wrong with her body, nor her spirit. Why is she unresponsive?
Beside him, the Fifth Elder stroked his beard and let out a cold snort.
Just because her spirit seems fine doesn’t mean it truly is. Have you all felt carefully? Doesn’t her spirit seem off to you?
Everyone focused intently, and soon their brows began to furrow slowly.
The Third Elder's eyes widened in surprise. This girl’s condition was indeed strange. Under my perception, the spirit of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator feels like a warm and steady candle flame, everlasting and bright. But her spirit resembled scattered fireflies—flickering weakly and appearing to be in a deep slumber.
The Fifth Elder nodded. Exactly. Although we don’t know what method she used, her spirit has indeed fallen into a state of slumber. To restore her consciousness, we must first awaken her spirit.
The Fifth Elder sighed softly. However, the technique to awaken a spirit is not something we excel at in Miaochun Valley.
The Third Elder agreed. Yes, Master Fan, this girl isn’t suffering from a physical ailment but from her spirit. We have no means to help her.
Fan Wuyou felt anxious. If even you two can’t help, then who else can? I implore both elders to show compassion; consider that she is still young and hasn’t enjoyed the beauty of life yet. Please think of a way.
They hesitated and exchanged glances, both reflecting difficulty in their eyes.
Oh dear, Master Fan, please don’t put us in a difficult position; we truly have no solutions.
The Fifth Elder stroked his beard thoughtfully for a moment. Although we are not skilled in spirit techniques, this vast world surely has cultivators who specialize in such matters. If we could find someone powerful in that area, perhaps they could provide a solution.
Upon hearing this, Fan Wuyou felt even more troubled. With the path to immortality cut off, there aren’t many cultivators capable of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage and touching upon the threshold of spirit. The four major sects already comprise most of them. If even they couldn’t identify the problem, could there really be another powerful figure out there who could find a solution?
Fan Wuyou stepped out of the pharmacy with his hands clasped behind his back and let out a long sigh.
Alas, perhaps this is just the fate of that little girl.
Master, what did you say?
Song Xiaoling had brought some food to the pharmacy to visit her junior sister but unexpectedly bumped into the Master as she turned a corner.
Hearing his words, her heart sank, but she still managed to lift the corners of her mouth and cautiously asked, "Master, did you just mention Junior Sister Three?"
Fan Wuyou felt a wave of regret wash over him. In his moment of distraction, he had let his emotions get the better of him and hadn’t noticed someone had come in, allowing this little girl to overhear their conversation.
He wanted to comfort her, but given the circumstances, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything false and fell into silence.
Seeing the Master’s expression, Song Xiaoling understood everything. This clearly indicated that Junior Sister Three's condition was very serious!
With a loud crash, the food box she was holding fell to the ground, and Song Xiaoling's heart plummeted along with it.
Stumbling over her words, she asked, "Master, what exactly is wrong with Junior Sister Three?"
Fan Wuyou lowered his gaze with sorrow. The two elders of Miaochun Valley were also at a loss. The only way forward was to seek out a powerful practitioner skilled in spiritual matters. If they couldn’t find one, Junior Sister Three might remain like this forever.
"How could this be? I don’t believe it!" She rushed to Fan Wuyou’s side. "Master, aren’t you a Transformation Stage cultivator? Can’t you help her?"
Spiritual matters were incredibly intricate; even for someone at the Nascent Soul stage who had just begun to delve into them, understanding them fully was a daunting task. A Transformation Stage cultivator, no matter how well-versed they were, wouldn’t dare claim complete comprehension.
Song Xiaoling stepped back, her face pale. "I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!"
She hurried to the Apothecary Hall, demanding a definitive answer from the elder there.
Seeing her anxious demeanor, the elder could only sigh softly in resignation. "It’s not that we don’t want to save her; it’s just that we have no means."
Lost and despondent, Song Xiaoling returned to her room and sat in a daze for a long time. When she saw Su Lingyue come back, she trembled as she recounted what the two elders had just told her, filled with anguish.
"If only we had noticed earlier, maybe Junior Sister Three wouldn’t have gotten into this situation."
Su Lingyue hugged her tightly with compassion and gently patted her back to soothe her. "It’s okay. If the Master can’t help, we’ll go back and find our Master; perhaps he will have a solution."
Feeling as though she had found a pillar of support, Song Xiaoling murmured repeatedly to herself, "Yes, Master must have a way!"
