Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2378: Chapter 2379: The Righteous One

After obtaining Lou Yingshi’s promise, Wu Ruiyun let out a long breath, and the flush on her face quickly faded away with that breath, revealing a face almost ashen beneath.

"Master, you saved my life back then, now I give it back to you! I, Wu Ruiyun, can die without shame in my heart!"

With that, Wu Ruiyun smiled and bowed heavily to the ground.

But after this bow, she never rose again.

Lou Yingshi cried uncontrollably and rushed to embrace Wu Ruiyun’s corpse.

"Grandmother, may your journey be smooth!"

Cha Wenliang was also slightly moved and then sighed lightly, "Gratitude repaid, Wu Ruiyun, although a woman, can be regarded as a righteous person! Wouldn’t you say so?"

Xue An was silent for a moment, then solemnly nodded, "Indeed! And a righteous person enough to make countless men ashamed!"

Flames soared to the sky, gently enshrouding Wu Ruiyun’s body, reducing it to ashes, which were finally placed into a small porcelain urn.

This was the only thing Wu Ruiyun left behind in this world.

Touching the urn which still held some warmth, Lou Yingshi once again burst into tears.

But she still forced herself to endure the pain, giving Xue An and Cha Wenliang a graceful salute, and then returned to the room that had just been arranged for her.

By this time, after a night of turmoil, daylight was faintly breaking.

Xue An and Cha Wenliang stood in the courtyard, silent.

After a long time, Cha Wenliang sighed lightly, "Honestly, I knew you went out tonight, but I didn’t expect you’d end up entangled in this mess!"

"You knew about this matter long ago?" Xue An asked back.

Cha Wenliang gave a bitter smile, "The Lou Family is one of the notable families in the Pharmacists’ Alliance. How could the matter of their annihilation not spread around?"

"And the members of your Pharmacists’ Alliance just stand by and watch coldly?" Xue An said coldly.

Cha Wenliang sighed, "What else do you think? Keep in mind that the ones who took action are the Si Family! The Si Family ranks steadily among the top ten families in the Pharmacists’ Alliance, ordinary people wouldn’t dare provoke them!"

"Including an elder member like you?" Xue An said with a hint of sarcasm.

Cha Wenliang was silent for a moment, then finally shook his head, "That’s different, I am a Loose Cultivator, though reputed, in terms of power, I am far inferior to these big families!"

Xue An sneered without a word.

Cha Wenliang smiled bitterly, "I know what you’re thinking, to be honest, I don’t have your courage, but since you’ve saved Lou Yingshi, naturally I cannot just stand by!"

Saying this, Cha Wenliang showed a touch of resolve.

"It’s merely a family, I, Ghost Needle Divine Doctor, am not afraid of them!"

Xue An’s expression warmed slightly, and then he said softly, "Do you think this is merely about a family?"

Upon hearing this, Cha Wenliang shook involuntarily.

"What do you mean?"

Xue An looked up at the distant sky and said faintly, "Do you know why I knew Lou Yingshi would appear here tonight?"

Cha Wenliang’s face showed a serious expression, "What’s going on?"

Xue An chuckled, then recounted the encounter with Tang Longtao and others at the Medicinal Workshop.

Upon hearing that the master behind the scenes was actually a man in black, Cha Wenliang couldn’t help but frown.

"A man in black? Who could it be?"

"I don’t know either, but what is certain is that there are obviously other families involved in this matter, otherwise do you really think the many families would stand by and watch the Si Family take action against the Lou Family?" Xue An said indifferently.

Cha Wenliang’s heart trembled.

For in Xue An’s words, he sensed a tremendous sense of crisis.

Vaguely, he seemed to see countless turbulent undercurrents hiding beneath the seemingly calm surface of the Pharmacists’ Alliance.

"In fact, the crux of all issues should lie with that family heirloom passed down through generations in the Lou Family. The Si Family, in order to obtain it, did not hesitate to make a huge move, which shows that this item is absolutely extraordinary! If only we could know what this thing really is..."

The latter words were left unspoken by Cha Wenliang, but the meaning was clear.

The fact that the Si Family was willing to destroy the Lou Family to obtain the item obviously signifies its importance, and the silence from other families was also quite suspicious.

Clearly, all issues stem from this item.

But after all, that item belonged to the Lou Family, so Cha Wenliang only mentioned it briefly and said no more.

But at this moment, the door in the corner creaked open, and Lou Yingshi walked out carrying the Jade Slip, coming before the two.

"Benefactor Xue, Divine Doctor Cha, I heard your conversation just now. Since you are willing to bear such pressure for my sake, I, Lou Yingshi, will etch this into my heart. As Divine Doctor Cha said, all issues stem from this item! So I have decided now to present it to you!"

"If it can be opened to see what’s inside, maybe we’ll understand the true reason for the catastrophe that befell my Lou Family!"

Lou Yingshi’s face was solemn.

Cha Wenliang felt a bit embarrassed, "How could I let you do that, I was just..."

He was about to refuse, but then Xue An casually accepted the Jade Slip.

"Alright, in that case, I’ll accept it!"

Now, Cha Wenliang couldn’t help but be a bit stupefied.

"This..."

Xue An ignored these words completely because he was engrossed in examining the Jade Slip.

Within the Jade Slip lies a concealed Array, blocking the intrusion of Xue An’s Divine Sense.

Xue An knew this was the self-destructing Array left behind by Wu Ruiyun before she died!

Although Wu Ruiyun had died, the self-destructing Array remained.

Unless Lou Yingshi’s strength reached a certain realm, or she sacrificed her soul, it was impossible to open that green Jade Slip.

This was why Lou Yingshi decided to present the Jade Slip.

She understood very well how critical the current situation was, so much so that there was no time for her to enhance her own power.

Thus, the safest and most effective approach was to offer the item to Xue An and Cha Wenliang.

"Can it be opened?" Cha Wenliang naturally noticed the extraordinary nature of the Jade Slip and couldn’t help but ask.

Xue An smiled, "It should be possible!"

As he spoke, a divine gleam flashed in Xue An’s eyes, vast Divine Sense surged forth, enveloping the Jade Slip.

Under the activation of Divine Sense, the Jade Slip faintly revealed the patterns of Talisman Spells.

But before they could connect, strands of Divine Sense blocked their path.

Following this, as Xue An’s hand brushed across the Jade Slip, the patterns of the Talisman Spell were progressively wiped away.

In the blink of an eye, the self-destructing Array on the Jade Slip disappeared.

Then Xue An’s Divine Sense penetrated within, and he was stunned.

Because within the Jade Slip was something he had not expected.
