Chapter 118: Shui Yue's News, Incense Valley, Preparing to Descend the Mountain

"Really?"

"What do you mean? Did you hear Aunt-Master Su Ru say something?"

Seeing the worry in Tian Linger's eyes, Su Han's expression instantly became tense.

"No, no, no... nothing."

Seeing Su Han so agitated, Tian Linger quickly shook her head, but her tone seemed a little guilty.

"Then, Ling'er, Aunt-Master Su Ru went to Tongtian Peak? What did she go to Tongtian Peak for?"

"Isn't it because there's news about my Master?"

"Could it be that Master encountered some danger after descending the mountain?"

Su Han was a little worried at the moment, after all, Shui Yue was not just his Master, but also his wife.

And Tian Linger, seeing Su Han repeatedly questioning, sighed helplessly and gently shook her head.

She reached out, seemingly wanting to comfort Su Han, but then hesitated and withdrew her hand.

"Su Han, don't get agitated first, I don't have definite news either."

"It's just that yesterday, I accidentally heard my Mother and Father talking and they mentioned that it seemed possible that Shui Yue Shishu was injured."

"Injured?"

Hearing the words "injured," Su Han instantly frowned, his eyes filled with coldness.

He eagerly took a step forward and tightly grabbed Tian Linger's arm with both hands.

"How could Master be injured? Who injured her?"

"Ling'er, quickly tell me everything you know."

Tian Linger was startled by Su Han's reaction. She tried to gently pull away from Su Han's large hand, but couldn't.

"Su Han, calm down first. You're hurting me."

Su Han heard Tian Linger's words and only then reacted, releasing Tian Linger's arm.

"Sorry, Ling'er, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay, I know you're just worried."

Saying that,

Tian Linger gently held Su Han's large hand with her small hand and comforted him.

"Su Han, I just said it's possible..."

"Whether Shui Yue Shishu is injured or not is still uncertain."

As Tian Linger spoke, she pulled Su Han into the room and poured him a cup of tea.

"Have a sip of tea first to calm down."

"Okay."

Su Han took the teacup and smiled at Tian Linger.

But he wasn't in the mood to taste the tea now, so he placed the teacup directly on the table.

Seeing this, Tian Linger ruffled Su Han's hair, "Really, maybe I misheard. You don't need to worry too much."

Looking at Tian Linger who was comforting him thoughtfully, Su Han was slightly startled, and his heart warmed.

Then he smiled at her, "I'm much better, you continue."

Tian Linger then nodded, sat opposite Su Han, and continued speaking.

"Actually, I don't know the details either, after all, I only heard snippets of conversation between my Mother and Father."

"As for the specific reason..."

"It was when Shui Yue Shishu was pursuing some Ten Thousand Poison Sect Disciples near Incense Valley, she was suddenly ambushed by the demonic cultivators of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect."

"This battle naturally attracted the attention of Incense Valley."

"And Incense Valley, although recently at odds with our Qingyun Sect, is still part of the Righteous Path, so they naturally offered assistance."

"That's why I said that Shui Yue Shishu should not be in danger."

"At most, she's just recuperating in Incense Valley."

"And the reason why my Mother went to see Sect Head Dao Xuan was just to ask Sect Head Dao Xuan to send a message to Incense Valley to inquire about Shui Yue Shishu's specific condition."

Hearing this, Su Han let out a long breath, his tense nerves relaxing slightly.

After all, although Incense Valley and Qingyun Sect were currently in open and secret competition for the title of the world's number one Sect,

They were still relatively restrained on the surface and wouldn't directly attack each other's Head Seat Elder level figures.

Thinking of this,

Su Han leaned slightly back in his chair, his gaze falling on the teacup in front of him, and picked it up to take a light sip.

"So that's the case."

"Master might just be a guest in Incense Valley and not in serious trouble, at most just recuperating..."

Although Su Han's tone still carried a trace of worry, it was much more relaxed than before.

Saying that,

Su Han raised his head and looked at the pretty Tian Linger in front of him, "Ling'er, thank you for telling me this."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know Master's situation and would probably keep worrying."

Tian Linger smiled slightly and gently waved her hand.

"You don't need to be so polite, Su Han."

"Our Da Zhu Peak and Xiao Zhu Peak are one family, helping each other is what we should do."

"Wait here for a while, wait for my Mother to come back..."

"At that time, you should be able to know the specific situation of Shui Yue Shishu."

Su Han nodded, "Okay."

"I'll first understand Master's specific situation, and then I'll go down the mountain for some training, and at the same time, pick up Master... and bring her home."

Saying that, Su Han looked at Tian Linger opposite him.

At this moment, a gentle breeze happened to blow quietly, gently stirring Tian Linger's hair.

Her silky long hair fluttered slightly, carrying a hint of charm.

"Unknowingly, Tian Linger has also grown up..."

Su Han sighed slightly.

However, Su Han quickly realized that Tian Linger seemed to be one to two years older than him.

In an ancient world like Zhu Xian,

If it weren't for cultivation...

Down the mountain, perhaps Tian Linger at this age would have already been married and had children.

It was only because cultivators' lifespans often lasted for hundreds of years that Tian Linger seemed young.

At this time, Tian Linger also noticed Su Han looking at her and couldn't help but shyly turn her head away.

Pretending to be indifferent, she said, "What are you looking at? Turn your head away!"

"I only know that the flowers are blooming beautifully, and if I don't appreciate them, it would make me seem a bit insensitive."

Su Han chuckled at Tian Linger.

"Hmph~"

Hearing this, the corners of Tian Linger's mouth curled up slightly.

At this moment, Su Han seemed to have thought of something and untied a small blood-colored jade pendant from his waist.

On the jade pendant, a lifelike leaf was carved.

The leaf was heart-shaped, extremely thin and long at the front, with a dripping tip, very beautiful, and emitted a faint condensed green light.

"Ling'er, this is for you."

Tian Linger's gaze was instantly attracted by this small and exquisite blood-colored jade pendant, her eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.

"For me?"

Tian Linger asked softly, with a hint of surprise.

"Naturally."

Su Han smiled and handed the jade pendant to Tian Linger.

"This is a magical artifact that I used to carry with me."

"But with my current cultivation, I think it can be used to its full potential if I give it to you."

Tian Linger carefully took the jade pendant and examined it closely.

The lifelike leaf on the jade pendant seemed to have some kind of magic, making her unable to take her eyes off it.

She gently stroked the jade pendant, feeling the warmth brought by the faint condensed green light.

"So beautiful..."

Tian Linger murmured to herself.

A look of joy gradually appeared on her face, and her eyes sparkled with delight.

Su Han looked at Tian Linger and smiled.

"As long as you like it, but don't just think it's pretty, that it's just a decoration."

"It is also a top-grade magical artifact."

"This jade pendant is forged from a hundred-thousand-year-old Bodhi leaf and a ten-thousand-year-old blood jade, quenched with the heart fire of the extreme cold land, absorbing the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and took eighty-one days to forge."

"This jade pendant can not only conceal the wearer's aura, but also help the wearer quickly calm their mind and focus, enhancing their spiritual sense and vitality..."

"It even possesses strong protective capabilities."

"Just by crushing the Bodhi leaf on it with your mind, you can gain the protection of Bodhi, which can withstand a full-force blow from a late Shangqing Realm expert."

Listening to Su Han's explanation, Tian Linger looked at the blood jade pendant, her eyes filled with even more joy.

But soon, shyness surged in her heart again. She lowered her head slightly, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"You... why are you giving me this?"

Tian Linger's voice was as small as a mosquito.

Su Han looked at Tian Linger, "What do you think?"

Tian Linger instantly lowered her head, "You, you, you..."

And just as Tian Linger was flustered and didn't know what to say,

At this moment, a rapid sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"Ling'er, Ling'er..."

"Old Seven said Su Han is here, is that right?"
