Chapter 788: Chapter 789 Owe You a Sentence

Lu Mingshu’s body lit up with a green glow, as if being drawn by something, the shadow of a sapling lighting up on her body.

Then the two merged into one.

Without any hindrance.

After a while, Qiu Yu exhaled, “Indeed, you and the person recorded by Senior Ling Xiao are the same.”

Lu Mingshu opened her hands, and the mirror easily detached from Qiu Yu and landed in her hands.

Both of them said nothing, watching as the mirror spun incessantly in her palm.

After a moment, Lu Mingshu asked, “Senior, would you like to see what that thing looks like?”

“Of course,” Qiu Yu replied without hesitation, “But can you show it to others?”

“I could try.”

Previously, she wasn’t able to bring others into the Heavenly Wheel, but after absorbing the Ruomu Wood, she underwent a slight change.

The mystic force inside her body was assimilated by the Ruomu Wood.

In other words, she and the Ruomu Wood had bee one.

Since the Ruomu Wood and Heavenly Wheel originated from the same source and the former was much more powerful, it significantly enhanced her power as well.

She could temporarily use the power of the Ruomu Wood to disguise Qiu Yu and bring him in for a look.

But the time was very short, and Qiu Yu must not resist consciously.

She repeated her conditions, and Qiu Yu nodded, “No problem.”

This was akin to entrusting his life to her hands, for if she harbored ill intents, she could easily erase his sentience.

However, with the answer he had sought for many years right before his eyes, Qiu Yu was willing to risk it all.

“Senior, please close your eyes, and suppress your mystic force and consciousness.”

Qiu Yu plied.

Lu Mingshu held his hand, the power of Ruomu Wood transferred over, quickly assimilating him into a part of the Ruomu Wood, then with a strong tug—

“Senior, you may open your eyes now.”

When Qiu Yu opened his eyes, he saw a towering tree.

“This is…”

Lu Mingshu summoned the Wood Wheel and started checking the items one by one.

Qiu Yu kept exclaiming in admiration, “Interconnected through the Myriad Realms, how marvelous!”

Suddenly, everything blurred before his eyes, and he was sent out by Lu Mingshu.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Mingshu still with her eyes closed, not yet out of the Heavenly Wheel.

At that moment, inside the Heavenly Wheel, Xiao Sang’s cold voice rang out, “You shouldn’t have done this.”

Lu Mingshu replied indifferently, “I thought there was nothing shameful about the Heavenly Wheel.”

Xiao Sang’s emotionless voice carried a rare trace of anger, “Doing this will break the rules of the Heavenly Wheel. Do you wish to bee a target for others, to be hunted for the possession of the Heavenly Wheel?”

Lu Mingshu smiled, but asked an unrelated question, “Ruomu, Mulberry, Kong Sang… your names are really similar! Indeed, you share the same mother tree, right?”

Xiao Sang fell silent.

“Xiao Sang, can I see your true form?”

Still silent.

Lu Mingshu gently said, “At this point, why keep hiding. In those two years, Ruomu Wood remolded my body, now I can barely be considered the same species as you, right?”

Xiao Sang’s tone softened, “You are still human.”

“True, I am human. But now my aura is infinitely close to that of Ruomu Wood, barely distinguishable from yours,” Lu Mingshu said, “Moreover, knowing of the existence of hunters, I am about to embark on the same venture, all of this, I’ll abandon. What harm is there for a bit of recklessness now?”

Xiao Sang responded, “Mystic Lady did not force you onto this path.”

Lu Mingshu still smiled, “I hate being passively subjected to fate. If I don’t follow this path, should I wait for those people to e after the Mystic Lady as they would hunt me down?”

Xiao Sang remained silent.

Lu Mingshu did not press further, “Alright! I’m not asking you to do much. I’ll only be wilful this once, and won’t trouble you thereafter.”

A moment later, Xiao Sang’s voice sounded: “You don’t have to follow my guidance. If you manage to do so, it’s your own petency.”

“Hmm.” Lu Mingshu gently responded and said, “Then I’ll head out first.”

Her figure disappeared, and Heavenly Wheel became empty once again.

After a long while, the faint image of a woman slowly emerged.

…

Qiu Yu looked at Lu Mingshu opening her eyes and asked her, “You didn’t suffer any backlash, did you?”

Lu Mingshu shook her head.

“This thing…”

Before he could ask, Lu Mingshu handed back the mirror to him and said, “Senior Qiu, there isn’t much I can say about this matter for now. These are all I have. In some time, I’m afraid I will have to take a trip to the Nine States.”

Qiu Yu was taken aback, feeling something was amiss.

Lu Mingshu had already stood up: “I shall take my leave for now.”

Qiu Yu watched her back vanish at the end of the mountain path, and after a long time, he shook his head. This child came to see him presumably with something to say, yet it seems like she spoke only half of it. How strange, what’s so difficult about saying the other half?

…

Lu Mingshu slowly walked back.

She did not expect things to turn out this way.

In her two-year slumber, she pletely absorbed the Ruomu Wood, thereby triggering the sealed memories of the mystic lady in the Mystic Lady Secret Realm.

It turned out, her previous guess was somewhat correct from a certain perspective.

There are people in this world whose target is to hunt the owners of the Heavenly Wheel.

The mystic lady died at their hands.

Yet, strangely, these people do not seize the Heavenly Wheel; they seem to only cause destruction.

Here with Xiao Sang, she could not get an answer, and the mystic lady herself did not know much.

No one knows where these people e from or what they want to do.

She also asked Huai Zhongke, but unfortunately, there were no clues.

Xun Zining sent her a message, he had also entered the Void. Hence, she planned to find Xun Zining and cooperate with him again.

Knowing the cause of the mystic lady’s death, Lu Mingshu could not be sure if she could escape being hunted.

The mystic lady was so powerful, yet she died at the hands of the hunters; she may not be any more formidable than the mystic lady.

If that was the case, the person she worried about the most was Xie Xingchen.

The master is fine, and so is Nine Jade Palace; they can survive without her. But Xie Xingchen…

He does not possess the Heavenly Wheel, and the Bring-a-Friend Charms are few; it’s not easy to live and die together.

And she, in order to avoid being hunted, might frequently travel between different realms in the future, not staying long in any one place.

If so, does their relationship still hold meaning?

“What a coincidence, we meet again!” Zhou Ruying’s voice rang out.

Lu Mingshu looked at her hanging from the tree in front, originally filled with worries, yet now she couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

“Do you really think I’m heartless? Chasing endlessly like this.”

Zhou Ruying flipped down from the tree: “Lu Mingshu, I need to tell you something. Do you know what’s really annoying about you?”

She raised her eyebrow: “Hmm?”

“You always underestimate how important you are to others,” Zhou Ruying said earnestly, “Not even sending a message to me, do you think your death wouldn’t matter to me?”

Lu Mingshu also seriously thought for a moment: “Actually, counting this time, we have only met three times, right?”

“Uh…”

“In a span of several decades, only having met a few times, do you think, under normal circumstances, we can be considered good friends?”

“Uh…”

“But, you’re right.” She sincerely apologized, “I do owe you an apology.”
