Chapter 2152: Chapter 2010: Immortal Family_3
"When did it become that I owe you?" Zhao Ruonan said.
"It always was. You said you’d ask when you got back, but then there was no news." Song Xiaodong replied.
"I did ask when I got back, but I really can’t get access to those herbs." Zhao Ruonan said.
"General Zhao, you’re kidding me. You can’t access them? Are you trying to amuse me?" Song Xiaodong said.
"It’s true, and it actually has something to do with you." Zhao Ruonan said.
"How does it have anything to do with me?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Because you always treat the old leader, using those herbs, which are now in short supply." Zhao Ruonan said.
"Oh... I see." Song Xiaodong thought for a moment, finding it reasonable.
"Anyway, I can ask Old Li about it." Zhao Ruonan said.
"Then I’ll be waiting for some good news from General Zhao." Song Xiaodong said.
"In any case, I still have to thank you this time." Zhao Ruonan told Song Xiaodong.
"General Zhao, I really was just a bystander this time." Song Xiaodong said with self-mockery.
"You know, I actually wasn’t planning to call you at first." Zhao Ruonan said.
"Then why did you call me over? I almost died with them in the Great Desert." Song Xiaodong said.
"It was the young Taoist who asked me to find you." Zhao Ruonan answered.
"Why?"
"Because he knew that only your Dragon Gate’s silver needles could restrain the Yin Corpses." Zhao Ruonan said.
The implication from General Zhao was that Song Xiaodong could take down the first boss, but there were still two more.
"We really couldn’t investigate thoroughly, and we didn’t expect that besides the Yin Corpses, there were also Yang Corpses and Corpse Infants." General Zhao said.
"Of course, I still have to thank you." Zhao Ruonan said.
"Thank me for what?"
"The woman who appeared later came for you." General Zhao said.
"For me? Wasn’t it for the Corpse Infant?" Song Xiaodong was puzzled.
"The young Taoist and his group called that woman an Immortal Clan Member. They rarely show up unless it’s to save you that she took action." Zhao Ruonan said.
"Ah, I need to strive harder in my cultivation when I get back." Song Xiaodong sighed.
"There’s no need for the head of the Song clan to lose heart."
The young Taoist came in from outside the tent, joining the conversation with Song Xiaodong.
"Your Dragon Gate’s cultivation philosophy is to become an immortal only after becoming a perfect human, and you have to reach the Perfect Human Realm before you can start practicing spells."
Chapter 2012 - Every time someone dies, they call Brother Xiaodong.
"Though the start is slower, after becoming a perfect human, due to a solid foundation, progress in Taoist Arts will naturally be rapid, and the head of the Song clan’s future achievements in Divine Skills will definitely surpass that of the Immortal Clan woman, just not right now." The young Taoist comforted Song Xiaodong.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master."
"Mm." The young Taoist nodded and walked out of the tent again.
Song Xiaodong and the others boarded the return flight.
They arrived home in the evening.
Song Xiaodong carefully examined Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling.
"Sis, stop looking; neither I nor Xianling is missing even a single hair." Sun Yiyi told Song Xiaoru.
"Really?" Song Xiaoru still cautiously inspected Chu Xianling.
"Really, sis. We were completely just spectators this time. Each person who came was more extraordinary than the last." Song Xiaodong said.
Hearing that Song Xiaodong was about to tell a story, Miao Qingqing, Miao Xuanxuan, Xiao Yingying, Lin Su’er, Sun Ziyun, and Su Yuya gathered around.
"What were you doing there?" Song Xiaoru asked.
"General Zhao sent us to investigate Lop Nur." Song Xiaodong answered.
"What happened to Lop Nur?" Miao Qingqing asked.
"Nothing much, just someone died." Song Xiaodong answered.
"Why does General Zhao always call Brother Xiaodong whenever someone dies?" Xiao Yingying said unhappily.
"You can’t blame General Zhao for this; because this time the death was related to the Dark Night Sect, it was essentially a Dragon Gate matter. General Zhao stationed troops to assist us and even invited many extraordinary talents, so really, it’s General Zhao helping us out." Song Xiaodong said.
"How did someone end up dead in Lop Nur for no good reason?" Miao Qingqing asked.
"There’s a Cultural Relics Protection Station right next to the Ancient City of Loulan; the staff there reported seeing shadows moving in and out of the Ancient City at night, so they called the police." Song Xiaodong said.
"Mm, and then what?"
"Then they dispatched two officers to investigate. After their return, one officer jumped to his death, and the other was sent to a psychiatric hospital." Song Xiaodong said.
"Ah... a ghost story!" Xiao Yingying exclaimed excitedly with her big shining eyes.
"How could that happen?"
"I guess it was that female ghost causing trouble." Song Xiaodong answered.
"Did you go to catch ghosts?"
"I along with Yiyi and Xianling were just there to observe." Song Xiaodong said.
"Alright, in the future, when General Zhao wants you to go, just go to observe. It’s safe." Song Xiaoru nodded and said to Song Xiaodong.
"General Zhao just let me, Yiyi, and Xianling take a look inside the Ancient City of Loulan." Song Xiaodong said.
"Ha, General Zhao really is something, sending Xiaodong on such a perilous mission." Miao Qingqing wasn’t pleased.
"Not really, before we went in, General Zhao had already sent in two groups, and many warriors died." Song Xiaodong said.
"Oh..."
"This time, a lot of people actually died." Chu Xianling also sighed.
"When we entered the Ancient City of Loulan, we found skeletons everywhere, with a Skull Mountain at the city’s center, as tall as a three-story building."
"Wow, really? That’s terrifying!" Miao Xuanxuan looked at Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling in disbelief.
