Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 619 - 598: Second Update

The young man took a step forward.

"Lord Ju, what does this mean?" This was his last ounce of patience.

"Young Master Yin He—" Ju Nanyi began, with no intention of backing down—

But the moment he opened his mouth, the young man frowned, suddenly looked into the distance, and the next moment, he suddenly flew out, vanishing into the darkness without leaving a single word behind.

Ju Nanyi was slightly stunned but did not speculate much, as the situation in Ghoul Ravine was not relaxed enough for Young Master Yin He to be so leisurely.

Xing Yu was dumbfounded, what to do now? She wanted to go in to see her lady, but with Lord Ju blocking the cave entrance and that murderous look in his eyes, she dared not.

Only then did Ju Nanyi turn his head back, casting a cold glance at Xing Yu. After all, he wasn’t in a position to lose his temper and knew Zheng Nianru was like a hedgehog, disagreeable about anything not going her way; there was no need for him to stumble on such issues again. What Ju Nanyi truly resented was that his memories came too late, his time was insufficient, and his realization was delayed, leaving him no time to change anything.

Thus, he needed to seize more time.

"Aren’t you going to help your lady out?" Ju Nanyi spoke, and Xing Yu hurriedly rushed inside.

Zheng Nianru did not want to come out; she hadn’t finished soaking, especially since in this life, she hadn’t yet had the luxury to soak in hot springs daily as in her past life, when Ju Nanyi had drawn hot spring water into the Imperial Palace from Jun Mountain—a significant project where silver flowed like water.

"Where is Yin He?" Zheng Nianru asked.

"My lady, Young Master Yin He suddenly left, probably for something important," replied Xing Yu, that was all she saw.

Zheng Nianru nodded, no wonder Ju Nanyi had followed; was it out of concern for her safety?

"My lady, would you like to soak a little longer?" asked Xing Yu tentatively, although she thought Lord Ju might not have the patience.

"No need." Zheng Nianru had lost interest and didn’t see why Ju Nanyi’s presence there should embarrass her. In this life, she hadn’t married him, and besides, it was Ju Nanyi who had slipped into her bed that day, not the other way around, so naturally, she shouldn’t be the one feeling awkward.

"What happened?" Ju Nanyi was still in a daze when he heard her voice from inside, and he stood bewildered, unsure of how to respond.

What was she up to? Suddenly, Ju Nanyi wasn’t angry but confused. There was a moment of enlightenment, much like their interactions, where she mostly seemed indifferent.

Indifferent, huh? So, does it mean that it doesn’t matter whether it’s him or Yin He? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Zheng Nianru came out, and when she looked at Ju Nanyi, he, bewildered, came back to his senses.

"It must be some trouble." Ju Nanyi tried hard to steady his mind, barely concealing his desolation. Why is she indifferent if it’s Zheng Congyuan?

In his past life, Ju Nanyi had never thought this way, what if it involved Zheng Congyuan?

"Aren’t you coming along?" Zheng Nianru had already walked out and, seeing that Ju Nanyi showed no sign of following, was somewhat surprised; wasn’t he here to protect her?

...

Elder Su was startled by this powerful momentum and subconsciously assumed a formidable person was pursuing them, considering that Qiandao Temple was also a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There might still be experts around.

"Ling Shan—" Elder Su called out loudly, and several disciples of the Ling generation immediately rushed forward.

"Elder—" Before they could ask, a sobbing sound like a ghoul’s whine resonated from the darkness, chilling them to the bone and causing them to stare into the darkness.

"Go check—" Elder Su steadied his spirits, telling himself not to scare himself. Even if Ghoul Ravine was currently troubled, there were still so many disciples of Ghoul Ravine there, with fearsome strength and even more terrifying released energy. Even if some high master from Qiandao Temple appeared, they should be able to handle it, and besides, the Young Master was still there.

Ling Shan glanced at the person beside him, and they slowly walked forward, the dark bushes in front of them swaying with the wind, their shapes unpredictable and accompanied by the howling of the wind.

Just as they were about to reach the bushes, several figures suddenly emerged from behind them, one of them being carried on their shoulders.

"Ouch——" Both parties, caught off guard, collided, and Ling Shan quickly steadied the other.

"Brother Ling Shan, you scared me to death," said a disciple of Ghoul Ravine immediately.

Ling Shan looked strangely at the people behind them but didn’t hurry to speak.

"Was it you guys just now?" Ling Shan asked.

"If not us, who else? We’ve been back and forth twice now, with a few more people, so the two of us decided to carry one over first..." As he said this, the disciple of Ghoul Ravine on his shoulder emitted a strange cry and kept twisting.

"Brother Ling Shan, no more talking, let’s bring the person inside first..." that disciple of Ghoul Ravine immediately said.

Ling Shan heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hands, go on, go on...

It seemed they were too nervous, seeing threats in every bush.

Ling Shan still cautiously checked the bushes, found nothing, and then turned around, preparing to go back and report to Elder Su.

"Elder Su, besides them, there is no one else..." as Ling Shan spoke and had just taken a few steps, he hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly he saw his own master—Elder Su soaring up, looking terrified as he lunged towards him.

At the same time, Ling Shan heard that strange ghoul cry again. Shocked, he was about to turn around when suddenly, a dazzling light shot towards him. Before he could react, Ling Shan had already stood still, disbelievingly looking at his own chest, blood, spurting from his chest with such force that it threw him backwards.

Elder Su didn’t have time to speak, his entire body flew into the darkness, and a very swift and solid shield was still a step too late, only managing to be thrown directly at the enemy midway.

However, the shield that Elder Su threw with all his might was like a stone thrown into the river, not even causing a ripple; Elder Su was stunned, impossible.

No matter who it was, they couldn’t have instantly killed him...

The next moment, Elder Su looked up in horror, in the darkness, blending into the darkness was certainly not human; Elder Su slowly lifted his head and then looked up to see two crimson eyes in the darkness.

This...

This...

What is it?

Elder Su involuntarily took a step back, the disciples of Ghoul Ravine who had rushed out behind him also suddenly halted their motion but could not stop, falling to the ground, and scrambling away in desperation.

Elder Su’s mind was overwhelmed, yet, why was the aura of this thing so familiar?

Elder Su slowly retreated, only then did he clearly see the "monster" that appeared before him: a dark, ink-like creature with only a pair of crimson eyes, massive, as tall as two or three men, its body engulfed in ink-like black smoke that rolled continuously. As the monster moved, the trees and plants turned into char at a visibly rapid rate and crumbled away.

"Elder—Elder—" the voice of the disciples of Ghoul Ravine was filled with fear; they had never seen such a thing before.

Elder Su was at the forefront, forcefully suppressing the fear in his heart. The aura of this thing was very familiar; this familiarity puzzled Elder Su, but it was clear to anyone, this creature was extremely evil.

The next moment, the black "monster" finally moved, suddenly reaching out a hand; Elder Su hadn’t even reacted when he was already flung away.
