Chapter 125 The Red Thread of Fate

Chapter 125 The Red Thread of Fate

Gushan City is rich in minerals, half of which are mined by the City Lord's Mansion, and the other half belong to several major forces in the city, among which the Tan family controls more than ten mines.

"When will the person be sent?" A sarcastic voice echoed from deep within the mine.

The man in black robes bowed respectfully and said, "Reporting to the lord, I have already urged the Tan family head to send the offerings here soon."

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

In the darkness, countless tiny bubbles rose from the ground, and a figure flew into the air. With a crisp snap of fingers, the cave suddenly became bright.

The man in black robes asked in astonishment, "My lord, you can leave the blood pool now?"

The bubbling spot was actually a pool of blood, which was now boiling violently, and several white skeletons of recently deceased individuals could be vaguely seen.

"Thanks to you, my capable assistant, my Blood Fiend Technique is about to be completed. When I go to Gushan City to absorb the blood essence, I will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop!" The Lord laughed wildly.

The blood offering he was referring to was none other than the Tan family patriarch, whose cultivation he had enhanced using secret methods. If it weren't for this, how could he have helped the other party break through to a higher realm?

The man in black robes said excitedly, "Your Majesty is too kind. This is what I should do. Once Your Majesty has mastered your divine skills, I will definitely follow you back to fight!"

The Lord sneered: "Those traitors, I will deal with them sooner or later."

He inhaled deeply into the blood pool, and more than a dozen wisps of blood mist formed, which he absorbed like a waterspout, revealing a satisfied smile.

This Blood Fiend Technique requires thousands of sacrifices. He had done the same thing in other cities before, consuming the blood offerings and then disappearing, leaving no one able to find him.

Gushan City was no exception this time. Once the last ten offerings arrived, he would be able to cultivate his technique to a minor level and comprehend the Blood Escape Technique.

Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator comes to capture him, he can come and go freely, unless there are more than three of them.

Just then, the master's senses jolted wildly, a sense of foreboding washing over him. He frowned and said, "Have you cleaned up your trail yet? Someone's following us."

The man in black robes was shocked: "What? Could it be someone from the City Lord's Mansion? My subordinates only appear at the Tan family's residence, and their actions are meticulous. They shouldn't have been able to detect us."

The master did not concern himself with whether he was wrong or not, and suddenly became excited, because according to his divine sense, there were two Golden Core cultivators among the people who came, and the rest were all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He wasn't afraid of anyone without a Nascent Soul cultivator!

The Lord's entire body surged with overwhelming killing intent as he laughed loudly: "The Blood Fiend Technique is only one step away from death. Since they are so eager to die, I will grant their wish!"

The man in black robes had complete confidence in him. Upon hearing this, he regained his composure and prepared to watch his lord display his divine power.

"Huh?" The master's smile faltered as a Golden Core cultivator disappeared from the lock of divine sense.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that it was nothing more than a technique of concealment that would eventually be revealed when the time came to make a move.

Unbeknownst to him, Ling Yunxiao crept into the cave, his gaze falling upon the pool of blood teeming with malevolent energy. His expression was grave, for he knew how many cultivators' lives had been sacrificed to create it!

Lou Yuqing arrived quickly. She also saw the blood pool, and her heart skipped a beat. She said coldly, "You killed all those cultivators?"

The Lord raised his hand to stop the man in black robes from speaking, and chuckled, "They are dead beyond any doubt. What, are you angry? Want to avenge them? But you alone are no match for me. Why don't you call out your companions?"

He wasn't saying this out of kindness, but rather to try and wipe them all out.

The next moment, he was met with a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket, crackling with electricity, which struck him in an instant.

"A cultivator with the Lightning Spirit Root!"

The lord's protective blood mist was shattered, and he was sent flying backward. He was both shocked and furious. Although the Blood Fiend Technique was powerful, it had its nemesis: lightning.

At this moment, he completely abandoned his contempt and formed hand seals.

As if summoned, the blood pool transformed into a pillar of blood that shot into the sky, eventually forming a blood dragon in mid-air, complete with horns and scales, and incredibly lifelike.

"go!"

With a flick of his finger, the blood dragon roared and charged toward Lou Yuqing, leaving a heavy stench in its wake, and the air creaked under its weight.

Lou Yuqing was surrounded by crackling electric arcs and disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she was already behind the man in black robes, and her fist, crackling with lightning, slammed into his heart.

"My Lord, save me..."

The man in black robes clearly hadn't expected to become the target of an attack and panicked, trying to fight back.

However, his evil cultivation technique was no match for it, and his cries for help were stuck in his throat as he died.

Seeing his loyal subordinate die before his eyes, the lord felt utterly humiliated and roared in fury, "I'll kill you!"

His spiritual energy surged, and he made hand seals to unleash an even more powerful spell. Just then, a hand silently touched his neck.

The lord froze, twisting his neck with a cracking sound, and saw the true face of the person who had attacked him. He exclaimed incredulously, "How did you...?"

Logically, his divine sense should have automatically detected the other party the moment they appeared, but this was not the case.

Before he could finish speaking, his entire body shattered, like a mirror being broken, turning into countless bloody fragments that scattered on the ground.

Lou Yuqing asked in surprise, "Dead?"

"My blow was not enough to kill."

Ling Yunxiao glanced at the blood-red fragments, lost in thought. His goal was to injure this person and then join forces with her to capture her alive.

Lou Yuqing opened the gossip system and immediately unlocked the gossip about this evil cultivator, her expression changing instantly.

This person is actually a disciple of Blood Fiend Hermit!

More than two hundred years ago, the Blood Fiend Hermit wreaked havoc in the righteous realms, using the evil technique of stealing people's spiritual roots to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, committing countless atrocities.

If his master hadn't personally intervened, he would probably still be living a carefree life.

Ling Yunxiao immediately remembered this person.

Cen Xiaoyun once impersonated Song Li, the sect leader's daughter, and entered the third district of the Enforcement Hall to see the case file of Blood Fiend Hermit, hoping to use his evil arts to improve her cultivation.

Fortunately, Junior Sister Yuqing was there; otherwise, the Blood Spirit Root disciple who entered the sect at the same time as him would have been harmed by him.

This disciple was quite astute. Seeing the commotion caused by the Blood Fiend Hermit, he found an excuse to leave beforehand and narrowly escaped disaster.

Later, he further improved this evil technique called the Blood Fiend Technique, which only required a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators plus blood offerings to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Ling Yunxiao's expression grew increasingly grim.

Even those who possess blood spiritual roots are diligently cultivating, but some cultivators have impure intentions and use methods such as absorbing the essence and blood of others to improve their cultivation, which is outrageous.

[Found it, so that's how it is!]

The Blood Fiend Technique includes a disintegration technique that can transform the body into blood-red fragments to avoid damage or feign death.

Ling Yunxiao suddenly realized.

If Junior Sister Yuqing hadn't pointed it out, this disguise would have been flawless. Whether viewed with the naked eye or probed with divine sense, the blood-red fragments were indistinguishable from inanimate objects.

Lou Yuqing transmitted her voice: "Yun Xiao, there's something wrong with the blood-red fragment. Let's pretend we don't know, lower his guard, and then attack him."

Ling Yunxiao, who already understood, didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded in agreement: "Okay."

So, just as this evil cultivator was feeling uneasy, he heard Ling Yunxiao boastfully say, "Although this person is a bit troublesome, he is still no match for me."

Lou Yuqing exclaimed admiringly, "Senior brother is so amazing!"

Ling Yunxiao modestly replied, "It's so-so."

The evil cultivator: "..." So pretentious.

If he hadn't wanted to avoid getting entangled with them, would this kid have been spouting nonsense like this?

Once I advance to the Nascent Soul stage, I'll definitely capture this kid and see if he can still be so smug.

At this moment, the sound of their conversation faded into the distance. After the evil cultivator transformed into a blood-red fragment, he lost his sight, but through his hearing, he realized that they had left the mine.

Without further hesitation, I reassembled my body.

The blood-red fragments on the ground flew into the air and quickly formed a human shape, emitting a bright red light. The evil cultivator's physical body returned to its original form.

His vision returned, and he saw Lou Yuqing and Ling Yunxiao standing not far away. The smile on his face froze: "You didn't leave?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

The lightning ball in front of Lou Yuqing had been gathering power for a long time, and it crashed down on the evil cultivator with a thunderous roar, causing the mine to tremble.

The evil cultivator cursed her for her deep scheming, but dared not stop his actions. He took out more than a dozen defensive talismans to release a protective light shield, and summoned a blood dragon and a thunder ball to fight against her.

He has just used his disintegration technique and cannot use it again for a short period of time.

Ling Yunxiao saw his predicament and disappeared into thin air. Since breaking through to the Golden Core stage, his concealment technique had reached an unbelievable level.

No cultivator of the same realm could possibly see through him, and even a cultivator of a higher realm would not be able to detect his movements if their cultivation was not solid enough.

The evil cultivators, upon discovering that Ling Yunxiao had disappeared, naturally became more vigilant.

Lou Yuqing's attack was too fierce, and he was really overwhelmed. He could only spread his divine sense around his body in order to be able to react as soon as possible.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar erupted from the mine, followed by earth-shattering shaking. Rocks tumbled from the mine's surface, dust billowed, and in an instant, the mine turned into a yellowish-brown world.

After the disciples of the Wendao Sect set up the magic array, they waited outside the mine. Upon seeing this scene, they all used their magical artifacts to retreat rapidly to avoid being hit.

Si Nidie paced anxiously, "I wonder how my junior sister and the others are?"

Si Nanren patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, they'll be fine."

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, two figures shot out—it was Lou Yuqing and Ling Yunxiao, the latter carrying the unconscious evil cultivator in her arms.

Si Nidie exclaimed happily, "Junior Sister!"

Lou Yuqing nodded.

If it's just about killing evil cultivators, given her and Ling Yunxiao's ability to fight beyond their level, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

However, in order to capture the enemy alive, they had to be especially careful not to let the enemy self-destruct, which took them a lot of effort.

What Lou Yuqing didn't know was that this evil cultivator was extremely afraid of death and would never choose to commit suicide.

He left his master, Blood Fiend Hermit, out of fear of death.

At the same time, at the entrance of the Tan residence.

The burly man and the young girl embraced and wept bitterly: "My poor sister! The damned Tan family has actually kidnapped rogue cultivators in secret! Is there no justice in this world?!"

Tan Wentian stood to the side, wanting to say something but feeling guilty. Although he knew nothing about the matter, as a member of the Tan family, how could he escape responsibility?

Passersby were drawn to the city lord's guards and, seeing them break into the Tan family's residence, were initially confused about what was happening. However, upon hearing the burly man's words, they understood what was going on.

The crowd erupted instantly, some doubtful, some surprised, some hateful, and some angry. Coincidentally, a relative of one of the victims happened to be at the scene.

He questioned Tan Wentian: "You're from the Tan family, tell me, my brother disappeared on the black market, was it you who did it!"

Tan Wentian was speechless.

"So it really is your Tan family!" The man grabbed him by the collar, his voice filled with extreme anger. "Hand over my brother right now!"

It would be a miracle if Tan Wentian handed it over; he didn't even know whether the other party's brother was dead or alive.

But looking into the other person's sorrowful eyes, he couldn't say a word.

Seeing that Tan Wentian remained silent, the man lost his temper and threw a punch, concentrating all his emotions into his fist, which swelled up Tan Wentian's face.

Tan Wentian was in a state of panic and hadn't reacted at all. A sharp pain shot through his face, bringing him back to his senses. He blocked the other man's fist, saying, "Wait, I..."

"Die! You bunch of beasts!" The man's eyes were already bloodshot, and he couldn't hear anything. He stabbed the dagger in his hand into Tan Wentian's chest.

If this stab had landed, Tan Wentian would have been dead without a doubt.

"when!"

The dagger fell to the ground.

An immense spiritual pressure descended, making it difficult for those present to breathe.

"It is right to seek revenge, but targeting the wrong person will not only allow the real enemy to escape punishment, but will also implicate you and send you to jail, or even cost you your life."

The man forced himself to look up, but saw a pair of dignified eyes, and the murderous intent in his heart quickly dissipated: "I will remember what you say, senior."

Lou Yuqing withdrew her oppressive aura and said calmly, "The truth about the Tan family will soon come to light. You should all disperse immediately and not interfere with the City Lord's investigation."

No one dared to linger any longer; to oppose a high-level cultivator was something only a fool would do.

Moreover, the other party also said that the matter would be resolved soon, and they only needed to wait for news from the City Lord's Mansion.

Apart from the man and the girl who were still hugging and crying, and the person who injured Tan Wentian, the rest of the onlookers dispersed.

"Wait, why are they all gone?" The man suddenly realized something was wrong. Without everyone around, how was he going to expose the Tan family's heinous crimes?

Lou Yuqing glanced at him: "You siblings should enjoy your reunion. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just keep an eye on the City Lord's Mansion's announcements, and you'll get the answer."

The man immediately shut his mouth and nodded vigorously.

The girl looked at the man in surprise. Her brother was always stubborn, and she had already figured out how to persuade him. She didn't expect him to have such faith in this senior.

The man patted her head and transmitted his voice, "I've met this senior before. She's from the Wendao Sect, so she's reliable."

Actually, that's not the case. He had developed a sense of awe towards Lou Yuqing. During their previous meeting, although she seemed to have a good temper, she could explode without warning.

Tan Wentian flew to Lou Yuqing and thanked her, saying, "Thank you so much, Captain Lou, for saving me. I am deeply grateful."

Lou Yuqing looked at his swollen face, paused for a moment, and said, "You're welcome. You should reduce the swelling first; it was an undeserved misfortune."

"This disciple understands." Tan Wentian touched his face and sighed deeply. "This disciple will avoid any appearance of impropriety in matters concerning the Tan family."

This incident was a big blow to him. Although he wasn't completely devastated, his spirits were certainly dampened.

Three days later, the city lord's mansion posted a notice announcing the crimes of the Tan family: kidnapping cultivators and colluding with evil cultivators. This aroused the condemnation of the entire city, and the Tan family's reputation plummeted.

Meanwhile, just in case, Lou Yuqing led her disciples to inspect Gushan City.

Finally, after tallying the amount of offerings submitted by the city lord, the group returned to Wendao Sect.

This time, they didn't use Lou Yuqing's Azure Jade Boat; they directly used the teleportation array to travel, and after several teleportations, they quickly returned to the sect.

“A disciple of the Blood Fiend Hermit, who has improved the Blood Fiend Technique. I will personally interrogate this person.” Kui Houming looked at the evil cultivator bound on the ground, his expression solemn.

Lou Yuqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and asked curiously, "Captain Wei, how's the Demon Tide going?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples pricked up their ears, eager to know what would happen next.

Kui Houming said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, we discovered the demonic tide in the Luoqi Mountains by chance, which thwarted the Black Demon Cult's plot to spread demonic energy."

"The demonic tide in Blackwater Ravine has been dealt with. As for the remaining Frozen Secret Realm, the elders have decided to use a magic array to open it ahead of time in case of any unforeseen circumstances."

Ling Yunxiao pondered, "The location of the Frozen Secret Realm is at the junction of the three major sects. Besides our Wendao Sect, the other two sects should also contribute, right?"

Kui Houming smiled faintly and said, "You're right. The Hundred Spirits Sect and the Cloud Soaring Sect have received the news and are on their way to the Frozen Secret Realm. Just wait for the news to come."

"Can we relax a bit now?" Si Nidie used to lie low in the sect, but as soon as she went out, she encountered the demonic tide and the evil cultivator incident, running around and getting exhausted.

Lou Yuqing also misses her carefree life. Improving her cultivation level inevitably means taking on responsibilities, and she hopes that the tasks assigned to her in the future will be easier.

Kui Houming chuckled and said, "You all get some rest. I'll let you know if anything comes up."

"Long live Captain Wei!"

The two girls happily gave each other a high five.

Ling Yunxiao glanced at Lou Yuqing hesitantly, then asked Wei Houming, "Captain Wei, is there any overseas mission you need to handle? I happen to be free right now."

Lou Yuqing turned her head in surprise, "Rolling King?"

Looking back on Ling Yunxiao's trajectory after joining the sect, it seems he was either carrying out missions or participating in trials, making him a true workaholic.

Lou Yuqing sincerely exclaimed, "There are really not many people as passionate about their work as you."

Ling Yunxiao smiled. He could only earn more contribution points by doing more tasks, which would allow him to exchange them for cultivation resources to improve his cultivation level. Otherwise, how could he have the nerve to pursue the person he loved?

Kui Houming took out a jade slip and said, "There is an urgent matter here that needs to be resolved."

Ling Yunxiao quickly scanned the jade slip and noticed that one of the seals had loosened, suspecting it was caused by some kind of underground monster. He then requested support from his sect.

Ling Yunxiao looked at Lou Yuqing: "Wait for me to come back."

Lou Yuqing paused for a moment, then said, "Okay." His gaze seemed different from usual.

Even after Ling Yunxiao's escape light flew away from the Law Enforcement Hall, she was still somewhat dazed. She pulled Si Nidie and asked, "Senior Sister, what did he mean by that?"

Why only say this to her? And why this one sentence?

Lou Yuqing's face showed a conflicted expression.

Si Nidie: "..."

Junior sister, are you made of wood? Can't you even understand this?

She patted the storage bag and took out three storybooks: "These are my treasures, take them and read them."

Lou Yuqing glanced at the titles on the covers: "The Overbearing Sword Master Falls in Love with Me", "A Love Story Between Human and Ghost", and "Love and Hate with My Nemesis".

Lou Yuqing: "..."

Before she could express her thoughts, a mechanical voice sounded.

[System upgrade in progress... Current progress 1%]

[System upgrade successful. Wishing you happiness, host.]

What is happiness?

Lou Yuqing opened the system panel in a daze and found that there was a new function.

[Module Functions: Audio and Video, System Tasks, The Red Thread of Fate]

As the thought focused on the red thread, an accompanying description popped up: This function allows you to see the red thread on each person's body; the darker the color, the deeper the feelings.

Lou Yuqing's eyes lit up; this was interesting.

She clicked on the Red Thread of Fate, and suddenly red threads appeared on the people in her eyes, extending from her wrists to the outside of the Hall of Law Enforcement.

But how come some people have several?

The system seemed to know her question and replied.

The red line indicates that the two people have an emotional entanglement, but it does not mean they are destined to be together.

Lou Yuqing: I understand, it tastes like melon.

Her gaze shifted to Si Nidie, and finding no red thread, she couldn't help but ask, "Senior sister, do you have someone you like, or someone you have feelings for?"

Si Nidie raised an eyebrow in surprise, thinking that she had come to ask for advice on dating. She thought to herself that she had figured it out in no time, thanks in no small part to the storybook.

“I don’t have anyone I like, but my brother does. Let’s go find him.” Si Nidie excitedly pulled her to find Si Nanren, ready to help her junior sister fulfill her wish.

Lou Yuqing's eyebrows twitched with joy. Sure enough, there was nothing there. The system's "Red Thread of Fate" was fantastic. She could go find Senior Brother Si and verify this new feature again.

The two people's thought processes are completely different.

On the other side, Si Nanren returned to his cave after completing his mission, and specially changed into a newly bought blue robe, adjusting his posture in front of the water mirror.

"My sister said this robe suits me very well, and she'll probably like it when she sees it," Si Nanren muttered to himself, a hint of shyness on his face.

At this moment, a sound transmission talisman was left outside the cave.

Si Nanren quickly opened the barrier and let it fly in. A woman's gentle voice came from the talisman: "Senior brother, I'm free."

"She agreed!" Si Nanren clenched his fist excitedly. He had invited her to Qishan, the sect's sacred place for lovers, so she must be interested in him.

Si Nanren straightened his robes in front of the water mirror before confidently flying towards Qishan on his magical artifact. However, as soon as he left the cave, he bumped into Lou Yuqing and Si Nidie.

"Something happened at the Hall of Law Enforcement?" he asked in surprise.

Si Nidie chuckled: "Junior sister is asking you for advice on love."

Si Nanren was surprised: "Really?"

Lou Yuqing pointed to herself: "Me?"

Si Nidie thought she was embarrassed, so she waved her hand and assured her, "The person is right in front of you, so ask away. I won't tell anyone."

Lou Yuqing was pushed and was a little flustered. She quickly came up with a solution: "Yes, I recently practiced a secret technique that allows me to sense people's romantic relationships."

Si Nidie asked in confusion, "Huh?"

It's not what she expected.

Si Nanren was even more confused: "Junior sister, you?"

The next moment, Lou Yuqing pointed in a certain direction and said confidently, "Senior Brother Si, your destined marriage is over there!"

Si Nanren was astonished to find that it was in the direction of Qishan. He quickly asked, "Junior Sister, you're amazing! Does that mean she and I can become Daoist partners?"

Seeing her brother's lovesick appearance, Si Nidie couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead.

Lou Yuqing said solemnly, "Senior Brother Si, I can only tell that you two are interested in each other, but whether you can seize this opportunity depends on yourselves."

"I understand, thank you, junior sister!" As if encouraged, Si Nanren flew towards Qishan with a resolute expression.

After watching the whole thing, Si Nidie was dumbfounded and said, "Junior Sister, are you serious?"

Lou Yuqing replied confidently, "Of course it's true."

Si Nidie stared at her for a moment, then suddenly grinned mischievously and said, "Then why don't you calculate whether you have a destined marriage?"

Lou Yuqing subconsciously looked down at her wrist, where a faint red thread was wrapped around it, the other end of which was somewhere outside the mountains.

Two blushes rose on her cheeks as she suddenly remembered the system's blessing; so that's what it meant.

But, would the dog system be lying to her?

The blush on Lou Yuqing's face faded, revealing an uncertain expression.

[Host, can you trust me a little more?]

Lou Yuqing thought to herself, "But how come I don't know who I have feelings for?"

If the system lies to you, you'll become a real dog.

Si Nidie was confused: "Junior sister, is it true or not?"

Lou Yuqing believed the system's oath completely: "There probably is, but I don't know who it is."

Si Nidie revealed a profound and unfathomable look, realizing that she was still in a state of liking someone without realizing it, and was thinking of giving advice based on what she had learned from storybooks.

"Cry!" A loud phoenix cry came from the sky.

The Azure Phoenix swooped down, flapped its wings, and gracefully hovered in front of the two.

Lou Yuqing stroked its feathers: "Qingqing."

Si Nidie also wanted to touch it, but she didn't have the courage.

Finally, the Nine Heavens Azure Phoenix carried Lou Yuqing away, soaring high in the sky.

Si Nidie followed behind miserably on her magical artifact. Fortunately, Qingluan slowed down, otherwise she would have disappeared long ago.

Si Nidie was moved: Qingluan still has me in her heart.

Medical Hall.

Shi Xiuxiu healed her injured disciple, then wiped away some sweat wearily: "Alright, go back and get some rest."

The disciple moved his arm with ease and was overjoyed: "Thank you, Doctor Shi."

Shi Xiuxiu smiled and said, "It's what I should do."

She turned to look at her master, Doctor Qin, who praised, "Well done, Xiuxiu."

Shi Xiuxiu's smile widened.

During this period, under her master's guidance, her medical skills improved by leaps and bounds, and she could easily handle minor injuries and illnesses.

With each patient she cured, she felt a greater sense of accomplishment, and this turning point in her life was all thanks to her benefactor.

Thinking of Lou Yuqing, Shi Xiuxiu was lost in thought.

However, some people just can't stand being nagged.

With a high-pitched cry, Lou Yuqing was brought to the entrance of the medical hall by the Nine Heavens Azure Phoenix.

Shi Xiuxiu glanced over discreetly.

Lou Yuqing noticed the gaze and smiled at her: "Is Elder Shi Hua here?"

Shi Xiuxiu was incredibly excited inside, but she remained calm on the surface: "Yes, Elder Shi Hua and Senior Medical Sage are discussing matters in the back hall."

"Please inform him that disciple Lou Yuqing requests an audience."

She had just been carried by Qingluan and flown around in the sky several times, enjoying the exclamations of the many disciples, before she came to find Elder Shi Hua with satisfaction.

After all, since I took the other party's natal spirit beast out for a ride, I should at least tell them so as not to upset Elder Shi Hua.

However, Shi Hua didn't blame her at all.

Upon hearing that she had arrived, he immediately put down his chess piece and rushed to the front hall like the wind. The Medical Sage smiled helplessly, put down his chess piece as well, and followed her.

Lou Yuqing saw them and was about to speak when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Their red threads seem to have connected?!
