"Xiao Xi, don't waste your time!"

Qin Huaiyu slowly opened his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the group quickly looked towards the bed. They were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the person was awake, but then their hearts tightened again when they thought of what had just been said.

"Huaiyu, you're awake!"

Shen Wan'er squatted down and leaned over the bedside, trying to force a smile, but her eyes were full of guilt and sorrow.

If it weren't for my father, how could Huaiyu have ended up like this? It's all the fault of the Shen family!

Oh, that silly woman!

Qin Huaiyu knew exactly what she was thinking, so he patted her head.

"It has nothing to do with you. He is him and you are you. You can't decide what happens to you, and you don't need to feel guilty about him."

He smiled as he spoke, and then stood up.

"Huaiyu, no..."

Shen Wan'er hurriedly tried to stop her.

Qin Huaiyu waved his hand and said:

"It's nothing, my body is fine, it's just that my soul is damaged."

"You heard everything just now?"

Shi Yu stood nearby, a hint of sorrow on her face.

Please, what are you all doing? I'm not dead yet!

Qin Huaiyu nodded silently, then turned his gaze to the old man beside him.

He wore a long purple-blue robe, had a ruddy complexion, and striking, handsome eyebrows, making him look quite extraordinary.

"This is Uncle Tian, ​​my family's butler, who also comes from Huangtian Pavilion," Shiyu introduced.

"Uncle Tian, ​​it's truly rude of you to encounter me like this on our first meeting," Qin Huaiyu said with a polite smile.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Tian's eyes were full of admiration. This kid is not bad. Even knowing that his life is in danger, he is still so calm. His temperament is far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Young man, you flatter me. I should be thanking you for protecting my young lady!"

"Shiyu has helped me too, it's just what I should do."

Qin Huaiyu maintained his smile and continued:

"Uncle Tian, ​​let's skip the formalities. How much time do I have left?"

The atmosphere in the room instantly turned heavy upon hearing this.

Shen Wan'er's eyes reddened slightly as she turned her head away. She didn't want to see Huaiyu's smiling face anymore; it felt like a needle piercing her heart.

Feng Yunming frowned, a nameless anger rising in his heart.

"What time is it? How can you still be laughing?"

Shi Yu suppressed the throbbing pain in her heart, but the glistening tears in her eyes were visible to everyone.

Oh dear, young lady, you've fallen in love!

Uncle Tian sighed, then turned his head and said:

"Given the effects of the Soul-Stabilizing Pill, it should only last for a month at most!"

One month...

Qin Huaiyu thought for a moment and decided it should be enough. No matter what Chu Langtian's identity was, as long as he was human, he would have weaknesses. However, he needed to set off as soon as possible.

"Huaiyu, I will find a way to retrieve the Heavenly Nether Flower," Shen Wan'er said firmly.

"Wan'er, Jian'an City is not like Pingxing Town. There are more cultivators there, and it's more dangerous. Moreover, you'll be facing the prefect, making it even more difficult!"

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and continued:

"I'll take the medicine myself. I'm also going to be away from town for a while anyway."

"Can........"

Shen Wan'er wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back. A sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. How useless I am. I am a burden wherever I go.

She was well aware of her own abilities; she was inferior to the others present and simply not capable of facing danger. The most suitable choice was Qin Huai, who possessed both strength and wisdom.

"I'll go with you!"

"Miss, you mustn't!" Uncle Tian shouted, his eyes wide open.

Shi Yu frowned. "Uncle Tian, ​​my mind is made up!"

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said:

"Shiyu, I appreciate your kindness, but you can't go!"

Why?

"Your identity is too special. This time I'm facing officials from the Wu Dynasty. They're not as easy to talk to as Uncle Feng. It might backfire if I'm not careful," Qin Huaiyu explained.

Women, I'm doing this for your own good. This trip is definitely not going to be easy. I'm already half dead, why should I drag you down with me?

Moreover, the Wu Dynasty is already wary of the Four Sects, so if you go, your chances will be even lower.

"Nephew is right. Miss Shiyu, you can't go. King Chu has never been friendly to your four sects, and his son will surely be the same," Feng Yunming echoed.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huaiyu was very puzzled. Wasn't Uncle Feng just a town mayor? It was one thing for him to know about the Four Sects, but how could he know so much about the Grand Marshal?

Could there be some hidden secret behind this?

"That's right, you can't go for the sake of this young man," Uncle Tian pleaded.

Shiyu wasn't unreasonable, but she was still a little worried.

"Can you manage on your own?"

"Don't worry, you still don't trust me!"

Qin Huaiyu feigned nonchalance and said:

"Besides, you've finished your business, it's time for you to go home and visit your family."

Shi Yu was startled. "You knew?"

"Uncle Tian has already examined my body, what do you think?"

Qin Huaiyu was heartbroken. The secret of the Seed of Heaven was well hidden, but now someone else knew about it. Fortunately, it was Shiyu, who meant no harm.

Uncle Ketian.......

Or we should get rid of him.

Bah! I'm a good person, how could I kill someone so easily!

Uncle Tian smiled unkindly:

"It wasn't intentional; you were in critical condition at the time, and I had no choice but to do it."

As expected, I couldn't hide it from him. He doesn't look very old, but he seems to know everything, just like my dad!

Shi Yu pouted, feeling both happy and somewhat unwilling. She had been searching for several years, only to find that the Heavenly Seed was already inside her body.
