Hearing Ah Ling’s words, Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but chuckle softly, as she was already planning this.
"I’ve got it!"
Xiaosuisui saw a man, clad in black and enveloped within a cloak, in Sister Ying’Er’s mories.
Why did she assu that the one in black was a man? Xiaosuisui’s answer was that she had judged this figure to be a man. Moreover, she had placed herself in the scenario, identifying this person as the so-called Mr. Wu!
"I have not successfully developed the Life-Extending Pill, but I can prescribe so other dicines for you. You can use them first to consolidate his health and delay his pain."
"If you haven’t developed the Life-Extending Pill, what about the one I obtained earlier? You can give it to my sworn brother, right? I’ve heard that the Life-Extending Pill can give soone at least three more years to live!"
Giving her sworn brother three years would also give her three more years, allowing her more ti to continue helping her sworn brother find the Life-Extending Pill.
"The Life-Extending Pill is all gone, but I have divined so predictions and can tell you how to obtain another Life-Extending Pill!"
"Where? Where can I get a Life-Extending Pill?"
As Mr. Wu was saying this, Xiaosuisui could see through Sister Ying’Er’s mories that Sister Ying’Er was extrely agitated.
"Rember this symbol. It is the mark on the dicine box carried by the doctors of the dicine King Residence on their travels. The Life-Extending Pill is created by the Divine Physician of the dicine King Residence."
When Xiaosuisui saw this, she realized that Sister Ying’Er’s mory had shifted to a different place. At the sa ti, Ji Youzhi and the others also heard Sister Ying’Er beginning her narration.
"About half a month ago, Mr. Wu told that he had failed in his research on the Life-Extending Pill. I was very sad at that ti and wanted him to give the Life-Extending Pill I had bought at the auction to my sworn brother. But he told that the pill was also gone. I was very anxious, so he pointed in a certain direction."
"What direction did he point you in?" Ji Youzhi imdiately inquired further.
"He showed a symbol, saying that it was the mark on the dicine box carried by the doctors of the dicine King Residence. As long as I rember it, I can find a Life-Extending Pill for my sworn brother!"
"You just believed him like that? Didn’t you ever consider that he might be fooling you?"
Li You’an felt that if it were him, he would never believe what this so-called Mr. Wu had said.
"I believe him, because he is a living Immortal, and almost everything he has said has never been wrong!"
"A living Immortal? Never wrong? What do you an by that?" It was still Ji Youzhi who inquired further.
This question triggered another one of Sister Ying’Er’s mories.
During the cold winter, refugees were everywhere. Two children in their teens huddled together, fleeing the famine. Heavy snow fell, and with nightfall approaching, they still hadn’t found shelter or food. In their panic, they began to run.
Because they were not familiar with the route, they didn’t know that the iced area ahead was a pond. They ran into the middle of the pond without realizing the ice was very thin.
The boy who was running ahead noticed sothing was wrong and attempted to stop, but it was already too late.
At this critical mont, the boy managed to push the girl back towards the way they had co from, but he himself fell into the pond.
The little girl was so scared that she burst into tears, trying to save her sworn brother. However, other people were only concentrating on escaping the famine and reacted with extre indifference to her plight. Then the man in black appeared.
Seeing this, Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but frown. Mr. Wu!
This was already the second ti that Xiaosuisui had seen this Mr. Wu in Sister Ying’Er’s mories.
With a re wave of his hand, he was able to make the little boy float up from the pond. Then he took the boy and the girl to a Mountain Cave and treated the boy. Finally, he told the little girl, "He has suffered from cold entering his body. I’ve managed to pull him back from the Ghost Gate this ti, but..."
"But what?" the little girl asked anxiously.
"His lifespan will be greatly weakened due to the ingress of cold this ti. I’m afraid he doesn’t have many years left to live."
The little girl burst into tears on hearing this and imdiately knelt down to beg the benefactor to think of a way to help her sworn brother.
However, he remained indifferent and left.
The scene shifted. The little girl and the boy continued to flee with the others. However, the boy’s health indeed started to worsen. He had to stop and rest after only a short walk, and his coughing never ceased. The girl was heartbroken, but the boy still comforted her.
"It’s alright, I’ve just caught a bad cold. I’ll be fine when the weather gets warr."
In front of her sworn brother, the little girl seed very natural, but behind his back, she cried her heart out; after all, it was to save her that her sworn brother hadn’t been able to run back in ti.
Later, when her sworn brother could not go on anymore, they collapsed in a dilapidated Temple, barely alive. Despite the bright sunlight outside and the lting ice, her sworn brother never awoke to see the sun.
The little girl knelt in front of the Temple’s Divine Statue, praying to the heavens to send an Immortal to save her sworn brother. She was willing to do whatever it took.
The mont she finished her prayer, Mr. Wu pushed open the door of the Temple.
He said, "I heard your prayer, so I ca to save you!"
The little girl was very surprised, but even more so, she was delighted.
Mr. Wu again... Xiaosuisui’s lips moved, her emotions leading her to mutter this under her breath.
Those around her inquired with confusion, "What?"
Xiaosuisui snapped back to reality, realizing she was currently peering deep into another’s mories. She couldn’t afford to be distracted, nor could she let the other person notice.
She then put on a serious expression, pretending she hadn’t said anything.
Over there, Ji Youzhi and the others were still questioning Sister Ying’Er as to why she claid Mr. Wu was a living Immortal.
"Why aren’t you speaking?"
Li You’an and the others quietly waited for Sister Ying’Er to explain. After a long wait with no response, he grew impatient and asked again.
Sister Ying’Er only snapped out of it after being prompted by Li You’an. She slowly began to tell her story.
"Years ago, my sworn brother and I were displaced. We suffered a cold disaster, and we were fleeing towards the capital. Later, my sworn brother fell into a pond trying to save . Because the weather was so cold and the pond was surrounded by ice, he couldn’t get ashore, so he never ca up. Just when I thought my sworn brother was dood, Mr. Wu descended from the sky. He simply raised his hand, and my sworn brother floated out of the pond."
Simply raising his hand could make soone float out of a pond? Most people present were astonished. The exceptions were Xiaosuisui, Ji Youzhi, and Zhu Xiuxiu, as they knew that anyone who had reached the Great Grandmaster Realm could accomplish such a feat.
Ji Youzhi mused internally, Does this an Mr. Wu’s Witchcraft has reached the Grandmaster level?
He then muttered to himself, If he truly is a Grand Master, then this will be troubleso.
