“He saved you?” Mu Yu certainly did not expect to find an unconscious Tian Jiancheng on the ground, qi flow in disarray.
“I used the pill you gave me to sustain his life. I thought you would be able to resuscitate him. I do not understand why he came to my rescue. He used a technique I have never seen before to get me out of Martial Hill City at a critical junction,” reported Zhuge Xiaosheng.
“Who’s side is he on? Why did he risk his life for Old Zhuge?” Xiaoshuai hopped off Zhuge Xiaosheng’s shoulder onto Tian Jiancheng. He gave Tian Jiancheng’s chest a few knocks, then ushered spiritual qi into the latter with his tail.
“Don’t know. He refuses to talk,” Mu Yu replied, thinking, I am surprised he managed to escape from an Apotheosis Realm adept. Just where have I met his soul before?
Mu Yu managed to get Tian Jiancheng out of his critical condition in the end. “He should be up soon.”
Zhuge Xiaosheng inquired, “Mu Yu, this is…”
“Ah, I forgot to introduce you. He is Gu Jiangyou, a former disciple of Life and Death Sect,” Mu Yu introduced.
“Gu Jiangyou…? You are their best disciple from decades ago as well as their…”
Gu Jiangyou opened his eyes. “Traitor, yeah.”Zhuge Xiaosheng only regarded Gu Jiangyou with a nod of acknowledgement as an ally once Mu Yu relayed what transpired at Ghost Gate. Without the story, Zhuge Xiaosheng would have had viewed Gu Jiangyou as an enemy.
Mu Yu shared the spiritual energy collected from Twin Corpse Field with everyone as everyone was injured to some degree during the expedition. The purity of the spiritual energy after life and death qis refined it was what enabled them to actually refine it into their own spiritual energy. Mu Yu did not just recover from refining them but also saw his cultivation progress to Ascension Realm Fifth Layer!
Snacking on an apple whilst kicking back on a rock, Xiaoshuai queried, “Mu Yu, does this mean you can absorb spiritual energy from others to bolster your cultivation from now?”
Mu Yu checked his internal status, then answered, “Only spiritual energy from Ascension Realm cultivators will accelerate my progress. If it’s spiritual energy of a Body Synthesis Realm cultivator, it’s a drop in the bucket. At most, it could replenish my expended spiritual energy.”
Tian Ran spaced out on a rock at the cliff after she recovered, hoping the strong winds would blow away her woes. Mu Yu went over to her and comforted, “Don’t worry about what’s beyond you.”
“My seniors were innocent. Why did Lie Shang and Xiang Nan just slaughter everyone? Many of them were so kind to me. The only ones who deserved to die were the elders.”
The desecrated valley did not really help Mu Yu’s cognition even though he wanted to somehow comfort Tian Ran. The best he could do was offer logic, hoping it would be enough for her to see from their point of view. “They don’t know you’re alive. They purely wanted to avenge you.”
“I know what you’re trying to tell me, but I only planned to stop the harmful elders. I never intended to hurt my seniors.”
Tian Ran touched a small blade of grass growing in a rock’s crack. A blade of grass was but a thin and fragile existence, yet it was able to plant itself even in between rocks and live healthily, while other lives were taken away as though a breeze was all it took.
I can’t tell Tian Ran about my stance on killing now. I need to protect her purity. Besides, she can’t understand my perspective when she hasn’t been there to live through what I have, inwardly lamented Mu Yu, caressing Tian Ran’s hair.
In a soft voice, Mu Yu opined, “I just want you to know that the only reason they’ve been nice to you is because you inherited Shifu’s gifts. If you were but an ordinary folk, Secular World Sect would treat you like a bug under their foot. None of them stood up for you when you were oppressed. On the other hand, Lie Shang, Xiang Nan, Cheng Yan, I and more will always protect you and your father. Dustfallen Sect is a family that will challenge the entire world to protect their family. We are not a sect that values aptitude, merit and gains over all else. We are equals in Dustfallen Sect. We held back our qi when Elder Xun first arrived so as not to scare him. Others discharge their qi to assert their dominance. You are with Dustfallen Sect, not Secular World Sect.”
“Thank you… all of you…”
Tian Ran could understand that Mu Yu was right even though she did not spend long with them. As hard as it was for her to acknowledge, Mu Yu offered only facts.
“There’s no need to thank us. We still need to rescue Shifu.”
