Chapter 473 Ling Luan Luan's Fate Chain

A Jing and Cheng Mu were in the study room of Zhaoxing Pavilion, concentrating on studying the files of the Lan Clan's Tiantou Linxian Clan for the whole morning. The two of them seemed to be in a maze, surrounded by numerous books, but their minds were all focused on the files in their hands, carefully searching for any possible clues.

After a difficult search, Ajing and Cheng Mu finally found some subtle clues.

These clues came from the files of the Greedy Clan, but strangely, all the news about Ling Luanluan's mother was strictly blocked or cleverly hidden. The files only briefly mentioned that her mother had passed away, but did not reveal her race at all, neither indicating that she was a Greedy Clan nor a Spirit Clan.

Cheng Mu's fingers rubbed back and forth on the line in the spirit clan file that recorded Xinzhu's disappearance, and his thoughts were surging in his mind.

He carefully compared the time and place of Xinzhu's disappearance and other details, and found that they were surprisingly consistent with the situation of Ling Luanluan's mother. This made his heart beat faster. A strong intuition told him that Xinzhu was most likely Ling Luanluan's mother.

He thought to himself: "From the time point of view, Xinzhu's disappearance is almost the same as the death of Ling Luanluan's mother. This is definitely not a coincidence. And the location is also in the same area. Could it be the same person?" Cheng Mu frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed a complex emotion of excitement and nervousness. He knew that this might be the key clue to uncover the mystery of Ling Luanluan's mother, but he also realized that the truth behind it might be more complicated.

"If Xinzhu is Ling Luanluan's mother, why did she disappear? Why was she rumored to have died? Did she encounter some irresistible force, or was she involved in some huge conspiracy?" Various possibilities kept flashing through Cheng Mu's mind, and his heartbeat became more and more rapid. On the one hand, he was happy to find this important clue, but on the other hand, he was worried about the unknown truth.

Cheng Mu took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and continued to look for more clues in the files. He knew that this was just the beginning, and to truly solve the mystery, more evidence and in-depth investigation were needed. But no matter what, he was determined to follow this clue to help Ling Luanluan solve the mystery that had troubled her for many years, and to explore the truth that had been buried.

As the afternoon sun gradually set, Cheng Mu was immersed in comparing the files of the Spirit Clan and the Greed Clan, as if he was in a world isolated from the outside world. The tall bookshelves around the study were filled with ancient books. The old smell filled the air, intertwined with the light coming in from the window, creating a quiet and mysterious atmosphere.

Cheng Mu's eyes moved quickly between the files of the Spirit Clan and the Greed Clan, his brows were always furrowed, his expression was focused and serious. His hands kept turning the yellowed and fragile pages, sometimes quickly browsing, sometimes stopping to carefully ponder the unclear handwriting, not missing any possible clues. As time passed, the sunlight slowly moved on the floor of the study, gradually lengthening his figure.

Unconsciously, it was already evening from afternoon, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto his tired but still determined face. At this moment, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes - he finally found a key clue: Qu Xinzhu had asked the spirits for a "Death Free Spirit Order", which was exactly what his daughter Ling Luanluan wanted.

The files of the spirit race recorded in detail the incident in which Qu Xinzhu came to request that his daughter be granted the "Spirit Order of Immunity from Death".

However, when he opened the files of the Greedy Clan, he found that although there were some scattered records about Qu Xinzhu, there was no mention of her asking the Spirit Clan for the "Death Free Spirit Order", as if this matter had been deliberately erased from history. Cheng Mu's heart suddenly surged with a strong sense of doubt, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Why did the Greedy Clan conceal this matter so deliberately? What kind of unfathomable and unspeakable secrets are hidden behind this?

Cheng Mu discovered that Qu Xinzhu was actually Qu Bing's distant cousin. This discovery was like lighting a bright light in the darkness, making Qu Xinzhu's identity gradually clear. Qu Xinzhu was a Ge Ling tribe member!

In the vast system of the Eldar, Qu Xinzhu occupies a unique and delicate position. Like Qu Bing and Yin Ting, she is regarded as a candidate for training as a future leader of the Eldar. The Eldar have high hopes for her, and her position in the tribe is crucial.

However, at some point, Qu Xinzhu disappeared without a trace. It is speculated that she met Ling Cong during that time. Ling Cong had always been at odds with the spirits, but Qu Xinzhu and Ling Cong got together.

Ling Cong and Qu Xinzhu seemed to be deliberately hiding the fact that they were together, not only from the Ling Clan, but also from Qu Xinzhu's death. This puzzled Cheng Mu, he really couldn't understand why Qu Xinzhu hid it from the Ling Clan, and why Ling Cong and Qu Xinzhu concealed all this.

Ah Jing frowned, his eyes revealing a shrewd insight into the world, and he said, "Isn't this easy for you to understand? There has always been a confrontation between the Spiritual Tribe and the Greedy Tribe. In this tense situation, whether they confess to the Greedy Tribe or tell the Spiritual Tribe, there will be no good ending for them. There will definitely be no good results."

Cheng Mu nodded gently, still with a bit of confusion on his face, and slowly said: "But even if Ling Cong chooses to conceal it, Qu Xinzhu really has no reason to hide it from the Ling Clan. After all, the Ling Clan has always maintained a relatively open attitude towards the Greed Clan. Judging from past situations, there is no need to conceal it."

Ah Jing listened carefully to Cheng Mu's analysis, nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Well, maybe Qu Xinzhu has her own unique considerations, and we can't understand the reasons for the time being. Let's put this aside for now and not delve into it. In the future, perhaps as the investigation deepens, new clues will surface. At that time, we will re-examine this issue, and perhaps we will have unexpected gains and find new breakthroughs."

Cheng Mu nodded again to show his approval.

Cheng Mu said seriously: "In any case, Qu Xinzhu is the key. Her death is of great significance to Ling Luanluan's recovery. Ling Luanluan's memory seems to have been tampered with, which led to her becoming a killing machine." After hearing this, Ajing suddenly realized it and realized this.

She sighed softly, with a flash of realization in her eyes: "So you mean that the many entanglements that Ling Luanluan has experienced are all caused by her mother?" Cheng Mu nodded silently, confirming Ajing's guess. Ajing then asked: "Where is her mother now?" Cheng Mu's eyes revealed a hint of sadness, and he whispered: "She has passed away." Ajing looked helpless, shook his head and said: "No wonder this part of Ling Luanluan's memory seems to be frozen. In this case, we really need to help her melt this piece of ice and warm her up."

Cheng Mu's eyes were firm and his tone was resolute: "We must revive his mother." Ah Jing's eyes widened in surprise and asked in disbelief: "How to revive?"

Cheng Mu crossed his arms and paced back and forth in the room. After a while, he stopped and said solemnly, "This matter seems difficult, but there are actually clues. As an immortal race, resurrection is not uncommon among the spirit race. If we want to achieve our goal, we must first find a spirit fruit, and then we must find the Qu family of the Geling tribe. Whether it is the Qu Bing lineage or the Qu Liu clan, both can be used as entry points. Once the right family branch is found, the next step is to plant the spirit fruit in a flowerpot, but the flowerpot needs to be filled with spirit soil. Only spirit soil can give the spirit fruit the energy and opportunity to grow, and wait for it to take root and sprout, and bloom again, before continuing with the subsequent steps. But this is not enough. In order to truly awaken the deceased, a drop of blood from their loved ones, a drop of affectionate tears, and endless thoughts are needed as nourishment. All three are indispensable to complete this resurrection ceremony that defies fate."

Ah Jing held his chin with his hand, thought seriously for a while, then looked up and said, "It sounds like the principle is not complicated, but in practice, it must be quite time-consuming and laborious. Every step cannot be missed, and it really requires us to be extremely patient and careful."

Cheng Mushen nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Any small mistake could lead to all the previous efforts being wasted."

A Jing's eyes revealed a determined look, and he immediately said: "In this case, we must act as soon as possible. Time waits for no one, so let's start preparing from now on."

Cheng Mu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who should we contact first? This person is crucial to the success or failure of the entire plan."

A Jing raised his lips slightly, a glimmer of confidence flashed in his eyes, and he said: "In my opinion, Qu Liu is the most suitable. I heard that Qu Liu and Yin Ting will be here soon, and their arrival may provide us with key assistance." Hearing this, Cheng Mu looked at A Jing carefully, his eyes full of admiration, and couldn't help but sigh: "A Jing, I find that your thinking has become more sharp recently, and your considerations have become more comprehensive."

Cheng Mu turned to face Ajing and said with concern: "Ajing, then you should contact Qu Liu as soon as possible to confirm their itinerary and exact arrival time. I will be responsible for the selection of spiritual fruits and spiritual soil."

Ah Jing nodded solemnly in response: "Okay."

Cheng Mu nodded slightly and added: "Well, in addition to the preparation of spiritual fruits and spiritual soil, the blood, tears and thoughts of loved ones must also be planned in advance."

Ah Jing nodded and said, "Okay, we'll start as soon as Qu Liu and the others arrive."

Cheng Mu looked at A Jing with full trust, and said earnestly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Ajing was smiling and full of confidence.

Cheng Mu said solemnly: "But we still need a key person."

Ah Jing asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Who is it?"

Cheng Mu replied: "Shou Sheng."

Ah Jing frowned and asked in confusion, "What's the matter with Guan Shousheng?"

Cheng Mu took over the conversation and said, "Before, Shouheng was in charge of the Order of Immunity to Death. Later, when Shouheng's life matured, Shousheng naturally replaced Shouheng. So now Shousheng is in charge of the Order of Immunity to Death. If the Order of Immunity to Death is not effective and approved, that is, it is not issued, then the sins of Ling Luanluan and the evil deeds she committed cannot be forgiven. In this way, she will not be qualified to resurrect the people of the spirit race."

Ajing suddenly realized and said, "So that's it." Ajing continued, "Okay, then I'll tell Shousheng." Cheng Mu nodded in agreement.

"…If the order to exempt the spirits from death is not effective and approved, that is, if it is not issued, then the sins and evil deeds committed by Ling Luanluan cannot be forgiven. In this way, she will not be qualified to resurrect the spirits."

Ah Jing suddenly realized: "So that's it."
