Chapter 993: Luo’s Origins
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
To her, gambling on Ye Chen was worth the risk. Whichever mighty experts had created the stone tablets had clearly not done so as a joke.
Ye Chen put the three boxes into the Samsara Graveyard. He cupped his hands and said to Senior Ruo, “I thank you for your help. I hope you’ll forgive me for my previous offense.”
Whether it was the golden robe, the Sacred Herb Cauldron, or the three unopened boxes, these were all precious gifts that had been given to him. He naturally had to thank her.
However, she would not give him these things for no reason.
Senior Ruo glanced at Ye Chen and reached out to pat him. “Young man, if you really want to thank me, then you’ll have to live on at all costs. At least, you’ll have to survive until a year and a half from now.”
“The experts of the Blood Spirit Clan members in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm are not a major threat. The real threat and danger will be in a year and a half.”
“If something goes wrong then, the entire Kunlun Mountains and even Earth might be in trouble.”
“You might understand what I’m saying when that day comes. If you don’t make it to that day, I’ll just treat it as a huge joke from the heavens.”
“Alright, there’s not much time left. I’ll send you over to see Han Yun. As for whether he will meet you, it depends on your luck.”
Senior Ruo then brought Ye Chen out of the secret chamber. The walls closed behind them and everything returned to normal.
Then, Senior Ruo suddenly thought of something and smiled at Ye Chen. “I forgot. I might need to trouble you with something.”
Ye Chen was puzzled. Why would a Supreme Emperor realm expert like her need to trouble him with anything?
Senior Ruo gently pulled the door open. Luo was pacing back and forth outside.
“Luo, come in.”
When Luo heard Senior Ruo’s voice, her body trembled. She quickly walked into the hall and knelt in front of Senior Ruo. “Master, what instructions do you have for me?”
Senior Ruo did not waste any words and went straight to the point. “Luo, you’ve followed me for many years. I know you have many doubts in your heart, so now I’ll give you two choices. The first is to stay by my side. This might be boring, but it’s extremely safe.”
“Second, you can leave with Mr. Ye. Haven’t you always wanted to know about your origins? I’m afraid that the only person in the world who can solve the mystery of your origins is Mr. Ye.”
“I’ll give you five minutes to think about it.”
“No matter which choice you make, I will respect it unconditionally.”
When Luo heard this, her eyes widened as she stared at Ye Chen.
She was born without parents. When she was young, she was ridiculed by countless people because her dantian was different from others, and she sometimes even thought of herself as a freak.
She often asked her master about her past, but her master never gave her a proper answer. However, out of the blue, she was suddenly told that the man she met today could help her find the answer she was looking for.
How could she not be excited?
In less than ten seconds, Luo raised her head, her eyes firm and decisive.
“Master, I choose the second option. I’m willing to follow Mr. Ye.”
Senior Ruo nodded her head in satisfaction. “Good. I’m very satisfied with your answer. Now, you can leave first and prepare what you need. I reckon that we’ll be on our way soon.”
“Yes, Master!”
After Luo left, Ye Chen smiled helplessly. “I don’t like to travel with others. I’m used to being free and unfettered.”
Senior Ruo shook her head. “You don’t have to ask me about it. You will agree, as this girl is definitely useful to you. She is extremely sensitive to medicinal ingredients. Her talent and skills in alchemy are heaven-defying.”
“However, she is too naive. It’s time for her to see the outside world, but she needs a guide. You’re the best choice. I also believe that you can protect her.”
“Of course, these are not the most important factors. Most importantly, Luo’s origins should be related to the Blood Spirit Clan.”
These words were like a heavy bomb exploding in Ye Chen’s heart.
Luo was from the Blood Spirit Clan!
He had never expected that a member of the Blood Spirit Clan would be living peacefully in the Kunlun Mountains, even if it was in a secret realm.
Furthermore, she was such a kind and innocent girl.
Senior Ruo let out a long sigh and said slowly, “This girl has had a tough life. When I found her mother, Luo was almost dead. There were no signs of life from her mother. From the tattoo on her back, she should be from the Blood Spirit Clan, and from her clothes, her status among them should be quite high.”
“As for why she appeared in the Kunlun Mountains, I don’t know.”
“Due to the difference in cultivation techniques, Luo has always been regarded as a freak by the people around her. She cannot cultivate by regular means, and the only reason for her current cultivation level is because I nurtured her using every means possible.”
“I’ve held her back for too long. She doesn’t know her origins either, and hates the Blood Spirit Clan to the core, so I didn’t dare to tell her the truth.”
“I’ll leave this matter to you. I hope you treat her well, even if you treat her as a servant.”
“Although she has the blood of the Blood Spirit Clan flowing in her veins, she is really kind. She is not the same as those other brutes who slaughtered the cultivators of the Kunlun Mountains.”
Ye Chen’s heart was moved. He even felt sorry for Luo and her harsh life.
It was lonely living without knowing where or who one’s family was.
Thus, he agreed. “Senior, don’t worry. I will treat Luo as my sister and won’t let anyone bully her. As for the matter of her origins, we’ll take it one step at a time. If there’s a chance to resolve it, I’ll tell her.”
Senior Ruo was satisfied with Ye Chen’s answer. At least in her opinion, Ye Chen had proven himself to be a man of character.
Suddenly, she remembered something and handed a ring to Ye Chen. “The stone tablet is useless to me, but it might not be for you. Other than the Ye family’s stone tablet, the other three stone tablets should be somewhere in the Kunlun Mountains. Keep an eye out for them, as they will probably prove useful in your fight against the Blood Spirit Clan.”
Ye Chen accepted the ring and nodded. “Senior, don’t worry, I’ll find the rest of the stone tablets.”
“Alright.”
At this moment, Luo’s voice came from outside. Senior Ruo called Luo into a room alone and gave her a few instructions. Then, she said to Ye Chen, “Over the years, I’ve set up some spatial formations in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm. Now, I’ll use them to send you to Han Yun.”
After saying that, Senior Ruo walked over to a large formation plate. Her fingers formed a seal and a drop of blood essence was forced out.
The huge formation plate immediately began to emit dazzling light!
“You guys can come over.”
Ye Chen and Luo quickly stepped onto the formation plate. When they did, the light dissipated, and Ye Chen realized that s.p.a.ce was being torn apart!
Once the light dissipated completely, Ye Chen and Luo found themselves at the foot of a mountain.
On the right was a stone tablet, on which was engraved a single word…
Han!
