Chapter 983: Chapter 301: Yuncao Tower in the Corridor! Form a Paladin Team?

Yuchi stood up amid the young lady’s playful reproach, looking at Yinghan who also stood up. He gently hugged her and then held her delicate dress shoulder: "For now, don’t rush things. Don’t deliberately observe Xuexiang. Just cultivate as you used to."

"Then if anything happens, let me know."

"I certainly believe what you say, but we can’t conclude anything definitively right now. It’s hard to directly link hail with Xuexiang."

Yuchi honestly acknowledged the existence of the shadow, but given the current situation, hail and the shadow couldn’t be linked.

Can a shadow directly control the weather? That sounds a bit odd, and what’s the purpose of controlling the weather? Hoping to destroy a sect through weather changes?

It’s unlikely.

Of course, if such bad weather occurs again, then we can determine the situation directly.

Regardless, this trip to the State Capital isn’t just about finding Qin Miaoyu’s sister but also about finding Qi Baiyu to inquire about the location of Medicine Master Valley.

Although one could ask Miaoyu directly in the sect, this matter is significant; it’s better not to consult Miaoyu and instead ask Baiyu.

"Alright!"

Yinghan nodded seriously: "I’ll notify you as soon as anything happens, and you can rest assured that I’ll take care of Xuexiang’s feelings and won’t say anything unwarranted."

"Yes, our Yinghan is truly sensible."

Yuchi praised her with great satisfaction; indeed, having lived in the Stargazing Platform, and being his first woman, she truly embodied the warm-hearted big sister look.

"Then I’ll help you once more," Yuchi said.

"No, no, no, no."

Yinghan blushed, watching Yuchi prepare to remove his coat, she pushed him out while shyly saying, "I haven’t finished refining last time; it’s enough, it’s enough, I’m full. And Xuexiang’s matters are urgent, go handle them first!"

Yuchi laughed heartily: "Really not?"

Yinghan, blushing like an apple, said softly: "Next time, next time..."

Yuchi: "Next time for sure?"

Yinghan: "Next time for sure!"

...

After the burning incense stick, Yuchi left the Ascension Gate.

He appeared outside Tiesi City, indeed needing to head to the State Capital, it seems, this State Capital quest line is pushing him to go even if he didn’t previously intend to. Who knows if this trip to State Capital might earn him some gold and silver?

Indeed, the situation with Xuexiang is a bit tough.

"Could it really be as sinister as Yuan Xuan says? How long has Xuexiang been at Ascension Gate? Just a few days, and it led to such a situation?"

"It’s not likely. Can such sinister things truly ruin an entire sect?"

"That’s rather exaggerated."

Yuchi asked for directions to the State Capital from within Tiesi City, needing about three months to get there, a distance similar to going to Cuncha City.

He mulled over the current situation while on his journey.

Yinghan explained a notable detail that she could see the shadow and even a dead gray woman’s eyeball, but when the shadow entered Xuexiang’s body, it became invisible.

"Firstly, the shadow undoubtedly exists. Not only did Yinghan see it, but Yuan Xuan also mentioned it before; however, Yuan Xuan felt the shadow’s presence without seeing it directly with her eyes, unlike Yinghan."

"Secondly, the reason for such disparity might be because the shadow leaves Xuexiang’s body. Before it leaves, the shadow is dormant, detectable only by the Nascent Soul’s second Divine Soul, but not visible."

"Once the shadow leaves Xuexiang’s body, does it become visible to everyone?"

Yuchi remained very calm:

"So what is this shadow really? I’m reluctant to interfere with its existence, but if it harms my disciple, then it’s an issue. It’d better not cause trouble in my Ascension Gate, or I’ll consider asking Medicine Master Valley and Divine Skill Temple to directly transcend it."

Mountains and rivers vanished underfoot as Yuchi sped up.

He had taken an elixir, exploding with full force towards the State Capital.

Pedestrians looked up at the sky, seeing a very audacious trail cloud, speed surging with fiery presence.

"Yes, no matter what, this situation can’t be ignored. I might not understand the shadow, but Medicine Master Valley should."

"If necessary, I’ll bring Xuexiang to Medicine Master Valley for treatment; this can’t be delayed."

"Also, perhaps not only Yinghan sees it, other disciples might too, but the shadow is very elusive, with only Yinghan seeing it by chance?"

"This uncertainty remains, needing patience in observation."

"After all, if the shadow truly causes mischief, it’s unlikely it’ll act just once; others will undoubtedly see it then."

In reality, Yuchi genuinely hoped other disciples could also see it.

Like if Qian Qun could see the shadow’s existence too, questioning the singularity of Yinghan’s observation, is the shadow conscious?

Intent on provoking Yuchi purposely:

I heard you want this woman to observe me? Fine, then I allow observation, but dare you to kill me?

It truly started to declare war.

"It better not be as I suspect, or I’ll spend any amount of vitality and strength to destroy it; transcendence wouldn’t be mentioned, it’d harm my disciple, I’d obliterate its Divine Soul, assembling Medicine Master Valley folks to sing a birthday song next to it."

Yuchi grew increasingly discontent, flooring the gas pedal, forming a swirl, blasting towards the State Capital.

Of course, he had a trick up his sleeve.

That trick was the feather.

Indeed, if defeated, call upon the big-headed goose for aid; surely this goose is enormously adept, using the feather directly; preserving Xuexiang is of utmost importance.
