Chapter 2240: Chapter 2240: Medical Marvel Shocks the World (25)
Right now what Chuzheng needs to do is hurry up and find someone to complete a mission.
But Chuzheng realizes that the only living people in this town seem to be the two of them.
And this place is even bigger than the previous one.
This isn’t the scale of a town at all, it’s more like a city.
Chuzheng soon sees that corpse, sprawled on the ground, already cold, no idea how long it’s been dead.
"We thought we’d left the Wuyin Maze Array, but we actually hadn’t. That town was also part of the Wuyin Maze Array." Jing Po lowers his voice: "We’ve always been inside the Wuyin Maze Array. Now is the first time we’ve really come out."
"For all we know this is fake too." The moment the Evil Spirit disappeared, she should have thought of that.
In the first Illusion Realm, the coffin didn’t follow her, so it gave her a preconception.
The second Illusion Realm is obviously way more advanced than the first.
"Mm..." Jing Po thinks for a moment, then nods, agreeing with what Chuzheng said.
"Miss Chen Yin?"
A sudden voice sounds from a corner, then a young man appears at the end of the street, rather astonished, and then freezes: "You... are you real?"
"Fake."
Wu Yue stares at Chuzheng for a few seconds, then lets out a breath: "Then you’re probably real... you came in too."
Chuzheng doesn’t have much goodwill toward the people on Meng Weihan’s side, even if this man did give her a Thank-You Card.
Chuzheng is still a little suspicious, her gaze circling around Wu Yue—maybe she should kill him to see if he’s real.
[Missy, can you not be so utterly heartless? Time is running out~]
Chuzheng can almost hear the ticking of a countdown.
"You got anything on you?" Chuzheng very pragmatically switches what this target person is for.
Wu Yue is puzzled: "Anything?"
"Anything." Chuzheng takes out some Lingbi, full of earnest sincerity: "Sell it to me."
Wu Yue: "..."
-
Wu Yue actually does have some good stuff on him, and Chuzheng doesn’t fleece him; she only picks a bracelet worth a thousand Lingbi.
The King’s Account reminds her the mission is complete. Whether this is an Illusion Realm or not, at least Wu Yue himself is real.
The bracelet is exquisitely made, and it has a little bell. According to Wu Yue, it has a passive defensive effect.
Chuzheng casually snaps it onto Jing Po’s wrist.
The bracelet can freely change size, and once fastened on Jing Po’s wrist it automatically adjusts to fit.
When Jing Po lifts his hand, the bell rings with a clear, pleasant sound.
"This young gentleman is Miss Chen Yin’s..." Wu Yue curiously sizes up the person still wrapped in a cloak.
He’s been following beside her the whole time, yet has never shown his face.
And she just casually gives him something worth a thousand Lingbi...
"My... man."
Wu Yue catches Chuzheng’s meaning: "Miss Chen Yin..."
"My name’s not Chen Yin."
"???"
This time Wu Yue’s confusion is written all over his face.
This name is widely known, how can she suddenly not be called that?
Wu Yue reacts quickly: "Then may I dare to ask, how should I address you, miss..."
"Chuzheng."
Wu Yue: "???"
You seem to be messing with me!
That’s basically the bullet screen floating through Wu Yue’s mind.
Having the same name isn’t strange, but a name like this... now that’s strange.
Even Jing Po is looking at Chuzheng with a weird expression right now.
She’s never told him that her name isn’t Chen Yin...
So why is she telling this man she’s only met a few times?
Jing Po’s fingertips pick at the bell, lips pressed together as he looks at Chuzheng.
Wu Yue snaps out of it and hurriedly asks, "Miss, forgive my boldness, but why is your name the same as Elder Meng’s disciple?"
A coincidence?
How could there be that kind of coincidence?
"Her body is mine, so of course the name is mine too."
Wu Yue has never felt his comprehension skills to be this bad.
Every word separately he understands, but strung together, what does it mean?
"The one using that body now is called Yan Hongni, the woman Meng Weihan likes."
Wu Yue suddenly recalls that Meng Weihan has indeed used the affectionate address "Nini."
He only knew Meng Weihan had a disciple whose formal name was Chuzheng; he assumed "Nini" was a nickname, so he never found it strange.
Chuzheng uses just a few phrases to tell Wu Yue what Meng Weihan has done, leaving Wu Yue listening in a daze.
"H-he’s an Elder of the Pomo Sect, how could he do something like that?"
He adopts a disciple, only to prepare a vessel for the person he loves.
Wu Yue’s brows knit tight: "Resurrection Technique is a Forbidden Technique!"
The price of resurrecting someone is far more than what Chuzheng has described.
Who knows how many lives are buried behind it.
The Resurrection Technique has always existed on the Jiuzhou Continent, and it can indeed bring people back.
But because the price is too great, it has always been listed as forbidden, and later slowly vanished.
Would Meng Weihan really do something like this?
"...How am I supposed to know you’re telling the truth?"
"Believe it or don’t." Chuzheng’s attitude is very offhand, as if she’s just telling Wu Yue a story.
"???" Aren’t you saying it because you want me to believe it? How does it turn into "believe it or don’t"?
"Why are you telling me this?"
Chuzheng ponders for a moment, then very solemnly issues Wu Yue a Good Person Card: "You’re a good person."
According to the logic, those who hold Thank-You Cards generally aren’t bad.
And he knows Meng Weihan, even acts together with him, which proves he’s not some random passerby.
So telling him increases the chances of Meng Weihan and Yan Hongni getting screwed over to fifty percent.
This kind of sure-win, no-loss deal, of course she’s doing it!
Chuzheng lets Wu Yue digest it on his own and turns to check her cards.
Jing Po instantly grabs Chuzheng’s sleeve: "You never told me about this..."
"You didn’t ask."
Jing Po: "..."
How is he supposed to ask?
He didn’t have the slightest clue...
If she doesn’t say it, who would know?
But... the first person she told wasn’t him.
That’s what’s bugging Jing Po deep down.
Jing Po hooks his fingers around Chuzheng’s and asks, "Are you sad?"
"Sad about what?"
"All the things your master did..." So she’s been through so much, and he still knows far too little about her.
"Not sad." What’s there to be sad about? That’s not me.
Jing Po tightens his grip on Chuzheng’s hand, as if trying to tell her he’s here with her.
"Miss Chen... miss, I’ll investigate this. If it’s as you say, I will see that you get an explanation."
Using a Forbidden Technique is violating the taboos of the Jiuzhou Continent.
If it’s true, then even the Pomo Sect won’t be able to protect Meng Weihan.
Wu Yue asks a few more details. Maybe he’s not very familiar with Forbidden Techniques, so he doesn’t hit many crucial points. Chuzheng very thoughtfully fills in the missing pieces for him.
Putting in the effort to be a good person today too!
[???] It’s only when you’re doing this kind of crap that you remember to try being a good person!
"Let me reintroduce myself, I’m Wu Yue from the Jiuzhou Alliance."
Chuzheng looks blankly over at Jing Po.
This thing... neither Chen Yin nor the original owner has ever heard of it.
Jing Po seems to understand what Chuzheng means and quietly explains, "The Jiuzhou Alliance exists independently of the major Sects, but it’s formed by Cultivators from all the Sects. It’s like a supervisory body over all Cultivators on the Jiuzhou Continent."
