Chapter 75 – Heavenly Dragon (5)
Seeing the two evil people disappear in front of them in a few leaps, Lin Yu Tong had a strong sense of urgency. With the bit of martial skill she had, if she fought the other, she was nothing to them.
The crying of the child on the stone woke Lin Yu Tong up. She went over and picked up the child. The child was adorable. She did not know where the child had been stolen from, and they must be hungry to be crying like this. With these two people here, she could not use the things from the pocket space.
“Miss, will you search for the child’s parents?” Duan Yu saw that she was able to act to save the child and gave off a very open and chivalrous air, and felt positive feelings towards her.
Lin Yu Tong sighed, “Nowhere is as good as with the parents. Of course I will search. The parents of the child must be around No Measure Mountain.”
“But the No Measure Mountain is very large, and it will be hard to find.” Duan Yu said and then handed the fan in his hand to Lin Yu Tong. “Miss, you may try. But if you cannot find them, you can spread the news, saying that the child is in Heavenly Dragon Temple. Miss, if it is not convenient to take the child along, you can leave the child in the temple to raise. Maybe one day, his parents will search for him. Miss, you take my fan. They will accept this child. The monks of the Heavenly Dragon Temple are very kind, and will take good care of this child.”
Lin Yu Tong raised her eyebrows. Duan Yu’s way was a good solution. She took the folded fan and said, “Then thank you very much, Young Master.”
“It is nothing compared to Miss being able to save someone from the hands of No Evil Left Undone Ye Er Niang. Miss, you did not just save the child. She will not kill any child in the next three months. This is ninety lives. Miss, you have endless merit,” Duan Yu said embarrassedly.
Lin Yu Tong smiled. The child in her arms cried even harder. She could not stay long and made her good-bye.
“This one is Duan Yu, this is Miss Mu, Mu Wan Qing. We will meet again one day,” Duan Yu bowed and said.
Lin Yu Tong held the child and curtsied. “Good-bye.” Then she used her qinggong at full power and left the two’s sight.
“Still looking! If you look, I will gouge out your eyes,” Mu Wan Qing snorted.
Duan Yu shook his head and said, “This Miss Lin Yu Tong does not look like a jianghu person with her manners. She looks more like a miss of a aristocrat family.”
Compared to the wildness of Mu Wan Qing, the two’s bearing were very different.
Lin Yu Tong wanted to take the child into her pocket space but found that she could do so. Lin Yu Tong was a bit powerless. It seemed that the space limited any person other than her from entering.
She could only take out heated milk from the space and feed it to the child with a spoon. She found a piece of cloth and cut it for diapers, taking them along to change the child. It seemed that she had to first find the family. She could not take him along.
But after searching for a dozen days nearby, she did not get any news. There were those who had lost their child, but the birthmark did not match. Lin Yu Tong could only spread the news, and hope that the parents of the child would go to the Heavenly Dragon Temple to search.
Then she tied the child to her, and rode the horse to Heavenly Dragon Temple.
The Heavenly Dragon Temple was the temple of the imperial family and very majestic. Lin Yu Tong presented the folded fan. The monk who had welcomed her went and came back, saying that the abbot was inviting her in.
Lin Yu Tong thought, this was likely the effect of Duan Yu’s fan.
The abbot of the Heavenly Dragon Temple was Master Ben Yin. He was the nephew of Master Ku Rong, and very dignified.
“I do not know where Benefactor met the owner of this fan,” Ben Yin invited Lin Yu Tong to sit and then asked.
“This Young Master Duan is together with a Miss Wu. He should be going to No Measure Sword Sect to rescue one of his friends. No Measure Sect and the Divine Farmer Sect has a conflict and there are the Four Evil Persons meddling. I do not know the reason. I have been searching for the relatives of this child in these last days. I do not know where Master Duan is right now.” Lin Yu Tong could only give them a simple description of where Duan Yu was right now. It was not that she did not say the details, but that she did not know.
“Miss, thank you for telling. Why has Miss come to this temple?” Master Ben Yin frowned and then said to Lin Yu Tong.
Lin Yu Tong untied the child. “This is a child saved from Ye Er Niang. It is embarrassing to say, but I have to the trouble your honored temple to care for him. I have to the found his parents, and it will be up to luck in the future. If they are able to come, please give the child to them.”
“Amitabha, good good.” Ben Yin bowed. “Miss, do not worry, this temple will take good care of the child here.” Then he summoned a monk. “Take the child.”
Lin Yu Tong reluctantly handed over the child. “Good luck, child.”
Lin Yu Tong watched the child carried away. She saw that Ben Yin had a worried expression. She thought, based on the timing, Duan Yu may have been captured by the head of the Four Evil Persons, Duan Yan Qing, and locked him up with Mu Wan Qing.
However, it was amusing to speak of. This Mu Wan Qing knew that Duan Yu was her older brother, and believed another person saying that they would become husband and wife. Such a good girl was taught badly.
Back when she had read the novel, Lin Yu Tong had not understood this. This Duan Yu was the son of the Crown Prince Yu Qing and Dao Bai Feng. The relationship between Duan Yu Qing, Duan Zheng Ming, and Duan Zheng Chun should not be very distant. They likely were cousins. Otherwise, it would not have been their turn to have the throne. Then, Duan Yu and Mu Wan Qing were all members of the Duan Family. Their fathers were cousins. In terms of blood, they were very close. Then why, in the end, Dao Bai Feng said that they could get married?
For blood of the same surname, even if they were beyond five degrees of relationship, were a bit taboo to form a marriage.
Thinking like this, seeing Master Ben Yin did not tell her of the situation, she did not ask. Even if she asked, she could not help. Also, the other was the protagonist.
Lin Yu Tong could not stay for long, and bid good-bye. They did not ask for her to stay, and sent a young monk to see her out.
Getting on the horse, Lin Yu Tong did not dare to delay, traveling towards the base of the Divine Farmers she had managed to ask around about in the last few days. The leader of the Divine Farmer Sect Sikong Xuan attacked Sword Lake Palace, and was being obstructed by Duan Yu. Because he had not performed well, and he could not endure the pain of the “Life Death Seal”, he had killed himself by jumping off a cliff. Most of the members of the Divine Farmer Sect had died. This time was the time to take advantage and get in.
Other people looked down on such a small sect, but she felt that there was value in coming.
The Divine Farmer Sect was also in the mountain range of the No Measure Mountain. They lived by harvesting herbs and making medicine. While their buildings could not compare to No Measure Sword Sect, they were respectable.
Lin Yu Tong watched and then sneaked in when it was night. This was no light to be seen in the entire manor. Lin Yu Tong circled outside for a while. Then she went towards the two-entry main courtyard. This should be the core of the Divine Farmer Sect. Just as she entered the courtyard, she heard noise from the main room.
She quietly came close and heard a fight between two disciples of the Divine Farmer Sect.
“…… Do not think to hog all this to yourself,” one person said in a hoarse voice.
The other person snorted coldly. “Of course it is the first person who gets it.”
Lin Yu Tong was very curious and poked through the window paper. One of the people was holding a square box.
“This is the foundation of the sect, you want it all for yourself, you have to ask everyone’s opinion,” the person with the hoarse voice said.
“Everyone, such a joke! There is no everyone now,” the person holding the box said.
Lin Yu Tong thought, was this what she was searching for?
She was overjoyed. She saw that the two’s martial skills were average. Thinking that the Divine Farmer Sect was more skilled in poison, she did not dare to be careless. She took out a pair of leather gloves from her pocket space, put then on, and then covered her face with a silk cloth.
She suddenly pushed open the window, and as she shot one of them with the dart gun, she jumped in. Her two hands landed of the shoulders of the other person. The other’s internal energies immediately flowed to her. This person was only slightly weaker than the two old women she had encountered before. Lin Yu Tong felt very lucky. The person lost his internal energies, and his limbs could not move. He could not even push away. He could only watch the woman in front of him suck away the energies of his body. Then he closed his eyes, having fainted. Lin Yu Tong picked up the box from the other person’s hand, throwing it into her pocket space but she absorbed the internal energies of this person. This one was a bit stronger than the other person.
She did not kill people. She just moved all the jars and bottles in this room to her pocket space. These were all good medicines. Maybe they would be of use sometime.
Lin Yu Tong did not dare to delay, and quickly left the Divine Farmer Sect. She flashed into the forest. Fearing that people would discover her tracks on the mountain and she would be unable to flee, she used all her power to sprint down the mountain.
Just as she was sprinting, she felt her hairs stand on end.Someone was watching her. Lin Yu Tong believed in the intuition of this body. In the forest, the instincts of the body were much more reliable than the alarm system of the pocket space. The alarm would only sound at the very moment of danger. But the intuition could tell Lin Yu Tong about the danger about to arrive.
She was very fast. It could not be an animal, then it could only be a person.
If she was being watched by a person, she could not just flash into her space. She stopped and said, “Which hero is pretending to be a ghost?”
Suddenly, a floating figure appeared in the distance, as light as smoke.
Lin Yu Tong immediately fled into the forest. Such skill, other than the very infamous Yun Zhong He, he could not be anyone else. They all said that his qinggong was the best. She was not a match for him. But if she found a hidden place to escape from sight, she could enter the space. This person was very lusty. She could not afford to provoke him.
This Yun Zhong He originally had stolen Zhong Ling, but then Zhong Wan Chou and Yue Lao San got her back. He had been very depressed. He did not expect to encounter a girl with very good qinggong. Just from the figure, she was a beauty, so he gave chase.
Lin Yu Tong wanted to hide, but this Yun Zhong He’s qinggong was too good, and he followed her very closely. Her internal energies could not compare to him, and if this continued, she would have no power left first.
Unable to run away or hide, but she could not win the fight.
Lin Yu Tong’s thoughts flashed. She suddenly changed direction and moved towards a cliff.
If not possible, she would just jump off the cliff. She would get used to jumping off cliffs.
“Beauty, you are unable to flee.”
Lin Yu Tong was shocked. How come this voice seemed to be right by her ear?
She immediately caught her breath and sprinted forward. The cliff was right in front of her. Lin Yu Tong jumped, but her body did not fall. Yun Zhong He grabbed her.
“Beauty, how come you do not want to live?” Yun Zhong He laughed and reached to lift Lin Yu Tong’s veil.
Instinctively, Lin Yu Tong grabbed his hand. She suddenly felt a great internal energy surge towards her body.
She was stunned. She could not manage to absorb this person’s internal energy, but the energy was not under her control.
Yun Zhong He was also stunned. Was this not the transformation method of Old Monster Xing Xiu?
His martial skills were higher, and he slapped at Lin Yu Tong. The pocket space’s alarm beeped. Lin Yu Tong was unable to move. Yun Zhong He’s hand came at her, but before touching Lin Yu Tong’s body, it was thrown back by a powerful force.
Lin Yu Tong knew this was the defense system of the pocket space. Last time, it had blocked the hidden weapons that Li Qiu Shui had set up in the prayer mat. This time, it managed to block Yun Zhong He’s blow.
It did not just block him, but threw Yun Zhong He’s arm back. Seeing him about to fall to the ground, it was a good chance, Lin Yu Tong aimed with her dart gun.
For a long time, she did not see Yun Zhong He get up. Lin Yu Tong firmed herself. This person had done many bad things. So what if she sorted him out today?
Thinking like this, she took out a bottle of medicine she had taken from Divine Farmer Sect last time. This medicine was called Thousand Day Sleep. The person who ate it would not wake up for a fortnight or so. She would have the time to slowly refine his internal energy.
She fed Yun Zhong He the medicine, and then dragged him into a nearby cave. Then she started to absorb internal energies and refine it. She would absorb some, refine, then repeat. She felt that her internal energies surged life the rushing river.
Lin Yu Tong did not know how many days it had been. When she came out of her space today, she did not see Yun Zhong He in the cave.
Lin Yu Tong paled at this. She had absorbed most of his internal energies and did not expected him to be able to flee.
She had underestimated the skills of these jianghu people. She was far lacking in experience. However, the other had not seen her face full on, and his internal energies were lost. In the short term, he would not dare to show his face in the jianghu. Otherwise, the people who wanted revenge on him would tear him to pieces alive.
Even if he recognized her figure and martial art, she did not fear him. With her present internal energies and qinggong, even if she encountered Duan Yan Qing, she may be able to flee from his hands.
The Divine Skill of the Northern Darkness was good, but it could not be used in the open. The only thing she could use was the Graceful Wave Step, but it did not have any offensive power. She had to think of a way to find more secret manuals.
Coming down the mountain, she put away Black Whirlwind. The horse was too eye-catching, and would tempt others.
She thought of finding martial art secret manuals, and also of finding Spirit Vulture Palace. It appeared that she had to leave Dali. Before leaving, Lin Yu Tong wanted to go to Heavenly Dragon Temple and visited the child.
When she came to the temple, she saw a group of people carrying Duan Yu inside.
Seeing that Duan Yu’s face was swollen, Lin Yu Tong’s heart moved. This guy clearly had absorbed too many different kinds of internal energy and had not refined it. She knew the refinement she spoke of was to guide the energies to the dantian through the fine internal energy methods, and did not have to be like her, with a crude method that took both effort and time. However, the internal energy methods were secrets only passed down in the sects. How could she find them? However, she was eager for the internal energies in Duan Yu’s body and hurriedly called, ” Young Master Duan, how can you be so rash?”
Everyone turned and saw a young girl in apricot colored robes. They all looked at Duan Yu. This heir was just like his princely father, one with lovers everywhere. Here was another one.
Duan Yu found the voice familiar and opened his eyes to look. Seeing it was Lin Yu Tong, he smiled and said, “Miss Lin, are you well?”
Lin Yu Tong frowned and said, “You forcibly absorbed so much internal energy, you are going to suffer now.”
Duan Yu’s eyes lit up. He thought of Lin Yu Tong’s elegantly moving foot work. It had been the Graceful Wave Step. He had been wondering when he had saw it before when he practiced it. This Miss Lin should have a history with his own master. She should know of the goddess.
On the other side, the Emperor Baoding, Duan Zheng Ming and the Zhennan Prince, Duan Zheng Chun heard the words, and their eyes lit up. Did this miss know the problem with Yu’er?
A middle aged man said, “Miss, are you able to heal him?”
Lin Yu Tong did not answer. Another person said first, “It is not convenient to speak here.”
Lin Yu Tong curtsied, very polite.
Master Ben Yin heard why they had come, and invited them into the room.
Lin Yu Tong looked at the seating, and guessed the one in the middle was Duan Zheng Ming, and the one next to him was Duan Zheng Chun.
She heard Duan Zheng Ming say, “Miss, do you have a way to heal him?”
“I have to look to make sure,” Lin Yu Tong stood up and said.
Duan Zheng Chun immediately stood up. “Miss, at your ease.” Just now, from his son’s talk with this girl, they knew each another. Also, he and the others were looking from the side. It should be fine.
Lin Yu Tong put a hand on Duan Yu’s arm. She just started to channel the art and hurriedly stopped. How many people had this person absorbed internal energies from?
“How about it?” Duan Zheng Chun asked.
Lin Yu Tong nodded at him. “It appears that Young Master Yu and my master has some history. I can try.”
If she got a bit of the internal energy, not even half, just a small part, she would go up a level.
“Help him up,” Lin Yu Tong said.
Duan Yu opened his eyes. “Miss Lin, should……”
“Do not speak, control your internal energy.” Lin Yu Tong sat down in lotus position across from him. “Release your Lesser Metal Point……”
Just as she spoke, Duan Yu’s eyes lit up. People who did not know the Divine Skill of the Northern Darkness could not say such a thing.
The two’s palms touched. The internal energies in Duan Yu’s body surged out. It was more powerful than Lin Yu Tong had imagined. Lin Yu Tong controlled the internal energy to be slower. Even so, after a short time, sweat beaded on her forehead.
Duan Zheng Ming saw this from the side, and asked some of the monks to help, putting hands on the backs of both people.
Lin Yu Tong felt a warm feeling move through the meridians in her body, then returning to her dantian. She was overjoyed. This was a method to guide the energies, a very profound internal energy method. She was happy, but did not dare to think more. She just followed the path to channel internal energy. After they settled, she felt how dangerous it had been. She had sealed her internal energies in her limbs, and only a small portion had been in her dantian. If she had not coincidentally been guided onto the right path by Duan Zheng Ming, she likely would have exploded.
This favor was very big.
She focused, and slowly entered a meditation state. When she opened her eyes again, she felt full of energy, and light in body. She had absorbed a lot of internal energy, and she had the internal energies of Yun Zhong He’s twenty years, she had just not known how to store them beforehand. When she stood up, she was the only person in the room.
Looking down, her clothes were soaked in sweat. Lin Yu Tong went to the inner room, flashed into her space, washed, and then found a same set of robes to change into. She had not had a bag with her. If she changed clothing, it would be very odd.
There were no monks in the entire Heavenly Dragon Temple. Lin Yu Tong was puzzled by this. Hearing the sound from outside, she hurriedly ran over.
Seeing the old monk dressed in foreign attire, Lin Yu Tong’s heart jumped. Would this be Jiu Mo Zhi?
Suddenly, fire flashed. Master Ku Rong burned the manual for the Six Meridians Divine Sword. Lin Yu Tong thought, Jiu Mo Zhi wanted to go to Sparrow Manor for the books in the Murong Family’s water pavilion. The Mantuo Manor had the “Blessed Jade Cave” that Madam Wang had moved from the No Measure Mountain. Her internal energies were not bad, but she did not have any attack moves. These two places had the martial art manuals of the world. Even if she only got one, it would be enough.
While it was not very respectable to scheme for another’s possessions, had others gifted the owners with the manuals? No, they had been stolen. She was not a gentleman, but they were not much better. At most, it was the black eating the black.
But both places were surrounded by water and not so easy to get into. Even Qin Hong Mian and Mu Wan Qing were not able to find where Mantuo Manor was.
Without Jiu Mo Zhi leading the way, she feared it was not possible.
She had to think of a way to follow this monk.
As she was thinking, she suddenly heard Jiu Mo Zhi laugh, “…… Your Majesty, please lower yourself to a trip to this Tufan Country.”
The change frightened the people below, and also Lin Yu Tong. Duan Zheng Ming had taught her an internal energy method. The favor was a great one. She could not allow the emperor of a country to be captured and embarrassed.
Duan Yu said, “Release my uncle.” Then he flashed towards Jiu Mo Zhi.
Duan Yu’s Six Meridian Divine Sword was very powerful. Lin Yu Tong aimed at Jiu Mo Zhi with her dart gun and shot, but only hit his left arm.
Everyone here was an expert and could see that someone had mounted a sneak attack on Jiu Mo Zhi. Jiu Mo Zhi was not just ordinarily strong. He tapped on two of the meridian point on his left arm and stopped the anaesthetic from spreading. Then he suddenly leapt towards Lin Yu Tong. Lin Yu Tong had a lot of internal energy, and used qinggong to dodge, but Jiu Mo Zhi caught her arm, and her sleeve was torn off.
Lin Yu Tong was very annoyed by this. This monk was very powerful.
Jiu Mo Zhi laughed and said, “The Zhennan Prince of Dali is very loose, I fear this is another lost pearl.”
Lin Yu Tong looked down. So the scar on her arm had been exposed. On her white arm, the “Duan” character was very harsh.
Dang it! Absolutely an accident. Lin Yu Tong had no way. She remembered that her dress was three layers, and the skirt was two. She tore a piece off her skirt, and wrapped it around her arm so it was not so awkward.
Duan Zheng Ming was being kept outside by others, and at this time, he brushed the crowd aside. Duan Zheng Chun was staring at Lin Yu Tong’s face. He had many women, and did not remember who it could be. Seeing this miss so full of spirit and her appearance very fine, he was a bit confident.
Lin Yu Tong said with a smile, “Everyone, do not misunderstand, I have the surname of my enemy. Now, my enemy has been killed. This enemy has nothing to do with the imperial family of Dali.”
But who would believe it?
Lin Yu Tong immediately felt like a bucket of dog blood had been poured over her head.
She did not know how to explain when she felt a great force on her body. Her feet left the ground, and she was sent flying.
At the side was Duan Yu’s cries for help.
Then she heard Jiu Mo Zhi say, “Zhennan Prince and Princess, please make a trip with me.”
Damn! Not a princess! The people in the matter did not admit it, but this person gave her a title. The alarm in the pocket space was so bad, if her life was not danger, it did not warm her. She wanted to follow Jiu Mo Zhi to see the Water Pavilion, but not in such a way.
On the other side, Master Ku Rong stopped the people about to give chase. “Young people suffering some hardship may not be a bad thing.”
Duan Zheng Ming agreed and then looked at Duan Zheng Chun. “The girl has the surname Lin, do you know her origins?”
Duan Zheng Chun grimaced. “I truly cannot remember, but should be…… Can’t be wrong.”
Duan Zheng Ming sighed. “I originally taught her the internal energy method because she and Yu’er are from the same sect. I did not teach the wrong person. This girl’s manners are top class, and she knows to repay those who help her. I heard that she saved a child from Ye Er Niang. There is nothing more to be said in terms of her character.”
This was the first time his imperial brother spoke in such a definitive tone of his bastard daughter.
“But she does not recognize me,” Duan Zheng Chun said.
Duan Zheng Ming did not speak and turned back to the temple.
Lin Yu Tong had her meridian points frozen by the monk, and she was not able to use her internal energies at all. Right now she was tied to the back of the horse, and because of the shaking, her organs felt like they were going to shake out. She had never suffered like this.
Careless! She had been too careless. During the night, they found an inn, but he tapped her meridian points, and she felt a great pain.
She heard Jiu Mo Zhi say to Duan Yu, “If you write down the method for the Six Meridian Divine Sword, I will release this girl’s meridian points. Will you bear to watch this girl in such pain?”
Lin Yu Tong took out the pain killers from her pocket space and shoved them in her mouth. Then she shook her head at Duan Yu.
Duan Yu saw Lin Yu Tong only show a pained expression at the start that had disappeared now, he felt reassured. Jiu Mo Zhi saw that Lin Yu Tong did not change expression, and was a bit wary. He did not understand her path.
For example, that hidden weapon was so fast it was peerless. Based on his skill, he was unable to dodge it. This was not a speed of ordinary people. He had sealed her meridian points, but people could not guard against things like hidden weapons. He had some desire for this kind of hidden weapon. He was waiting to first pressure Duan Yu and they are pressure her into handing over the hidden weapon. He did not expect her to have more than one method. It could be seen that there were many great martial arts in the world, far beyond what he could see.
Lin Yu Tong was interrogated the entire way. She was brought to Gusu again.
It had been six years since she left Gusu.
She suddenly thought of how Qiao Feng had seen her off outside Gusu and she smiled. After this matter was resolved, she could find Qiao Feng.
Jiu Mo Zhi smiled and said, “Miss Lin, you are a very optimistic person, even now, you are able to smile.”
Lin Yu Tong looked at the rippling blue water and said, “Such a beautiful scene, why should I not smile?”
Duan Yu thought Lin Yu Tong one of his sisters, but he did not know whether this is an older sister or a younger sister. Because the two came from the same sect, he felt closer to her. He said, “Yes, yes, the beauty of Jiangnan is different from Dali.”
Just as he finished talking, elegant singing came from the lake. Looking from afar, a small boat was moving on the water. Lin Yu Tong felt that it was a scene so beautiful it could not be described.
The boat came close and a girl dressed in green stood up. She was about to ask something, but when she saw Lin Yu Tong’s face, she stopped, her gaze odd.
“Miss, do you know how to reach Canhe Manor?” Jiu Mo Zhi asked
The girl looked at Jiu Mo Zhi and said with a smile, “Other people do not know of Canhe Manor.” As she said, she looked at Lin Yu Tong out of the corner of her eyes. Even Duan Yu saw something was wrong and glanced at Lin Yu Tong.
Lin Yu Tong had a bad feeling.
When they were on the boat, Lin Yu Tong could not endure her gaze and asked, “Miss, what are you called?”
“I am Abi,” Abi looked at Lin Yu Tong and could not help but examine her.
As expected, Lin Yu Tong smiled and did not speak. She looked over, and saw a borderless lake. Lin Yu Tong was very jealous of this. This Murong Family truly knew how to select place it is, easy to guard and hard to attack. Living here was very safe.
They kept on going forward. The lotus flowers on the water were blooming, and the sedge leafs were spread out. When the wind blew past, they seemed to dance and please a person.
This was the Grand Lake. The water channels criss-crossed like a game board. All the intersections were about the same, and it was not possible to remember the path.
After swaying on the boat for four hours, they reached a small island. There were only a few small houses on the island. Lin Yu Tong naturally knew that this was not for Murong Fu to live, but the temporary residences of Abi, Azhu and the other servant girls. However, the benefits of the Murong Family was very good.
Just after getting on land, Lin Yu Tong felt another gaze on her. She thought inside, what she feared had come.
Maybe because of her, Azhu did not have any thoughts of teasing Jiu Mo Zhi, and came to welcome them. When they stood opposite each other, Lin Yu Tong thought she had guessed right. Azhu’s face was similar to her, except that Azhu looked soft, while Lin Yu Tong looked harsh. Because of this, no one would mistake the two of people. When they looked, they were only half similar.
But people would not believe if a person said they were not sisters.
Duan Yu looked at this one and then at the other. He suddenly said to Azhu, “Sister, do you have a ‘Duan’ character on your shoulder?”
“Young Master, how do you know?” Azhu looked at Lin Yu Tong, and then at Lin Yu Tong’s arm tied up with a cloth.
Duan Yu looked at Lin Yu Tong and said, “Now, you cannot refute it.”
Jiu Mo Zhi immediately got on his guard. He did not expect his hostages to meet their family members. He sneered, “It seems that I truly did something good, and got sisters to reunite.”
Lin Yu Tong’s lips were stiff. She could not say that she was in a good mood right now. She turned her head and said, “Then, according to you, I should thank you.”
Azhu could see the two were hostile and her mind settled. She said, “People who come from afar are guests, please come in.”
They entered the waterside pavilion. Abi came out with tea and pastries.
Now, they finally got a normal meal to eat. Lin Yu Tong was not polite, drinking and eating. Duan Yu also had a good appetite. Only Jiu Mo Zhi did not dare to use the food.
Lin Yu Tong said with a smile, “If you are afraid, then let’s switch, I still need you to unseal my meridian points.”
Jiu Mo Zhi watched Lin Yu Tong eat and naturally was more assured eating what she had not finished.
Abi smiled and switched for the pair. Jiu Mo Zhi started to eat. Seeing that Lin Yu Tong showed no expression after eating what had been switched, he sighed in relief. But at the side, Azhu had seen Lin Yu Tong’s sleeve move quickly when she took a pastry.
As expected, Jiu Mo Zhi suddenly froze. Lin Yu Tong grabbed Duan Yu and then floated back.
Other medicines were not good to use, but this had been made by Physician Su from her last life. It was colorless and tasteless, and after it was applied, the victims felt very itchy.
“Monk, unseal our meridian points, and I will give you the antidote. Otherwise, you will scratch through your skin, and feel like you have been soaked up in spice water for two days,” Lin Yu Tong threatened.
Jiu Mo Zhi slammed down his hand, and the desk immediately split into pieces.
“Give me the antidote……” Jiu Mo Zhi said, and then he froze. The itchness seemed to come from his heart. No matter how he scratched, it was useless.
For people like him, pain was not something to fear, but itching did not feel comfortable.
Jiu Mo Zhi reached out, and channeled his power. Lin Yu Tong felt her body relax, like a lock had been released. She glanced at Duan Yu and he nodded.
“Over here,” Azhu called from outside the waterside pavilion.
So there had been a boat waiting for them already.
The pair jumped onto the boat, and Lin Yu Tong shouted, “Jump into the water, the medicine will naturally be removed.”
There was immediately the sound of a splash into the water.
Duan Yu smiled and said, “Older Sister Azhu, how come you thought of preparing a boat?”
“If this…… Miss had a solution, she likely will have acted against the monk on the way here, why wait to now? It can be seen that the medicine is not as Miss says,” Azhu looked at Lin Yu Tong as she spoke.
As expected, so smart. Lin Yu Tong nodded and said, “The medicine effects can only last for a half hour, and then disappear. If I acted on the road, we would not have been able to run away in that time.” Also, no one would have brought her to the Sparrow Manor.
“Then, why say that it will come off in the water?” Abi asked.
Duan Yu smiled and said, “The monk is a land duck. He likely is still splashing around right now, unable to give chase.”
Everyone laughed.
Translator Ramblings: Jiu Mo Zhi is from Tibet and Dali is modern-day Yunnan so I don’t know what movie/book magic made it they all ended up gathering at Shaolin in Henan, a few thousand kilometers away to the northeast. I can’t even imagine the diplomatic nightmare of a Dali Emperor moving about freely in Song territory, regardless of the Song Dynasty and Dali Dynasty being friendly.

Tell me something
