Chapter 443: Life and Death are Not Any Different to Me
“Senior Brother, what actually happened back then when you were poisoned? Why have we not heard of you bringing this matter up before?” This suspicion was already hidden in Ling Yichen’s heart for a very long time. He had not asked before because Fu Chengyu was unwilling to talk about it. But he really could not resist asking when looking at his expression like this.
“No matter if you are willing or not willing to tell us, we will think of all ways to cure you. But if you don’t tell us, maybe it will harm us instead.” Ling Chuxi said.
Fu Chengyu gave a bitter smile. A tinge of warmness appeared in his eyes when he saw the determined expressions of the few of them. It was as if he was recalling something, but he only slowly opened his mouth after a long while.
“Yichen, the reason I have not told you this all this while is because I hope that you will not seek revenge for me. Back in those days my cultivation had reached Battle Qi Level 9. I was full of pride and travelled everywhere under the skies. But my way was blocked and I was attacked at Dong Yi at the Miao Borders. Not only was the other party’s cultivation above mine, he was an expert in using poison. Although I was fortunate enough to have escaped, I was still poisoned. With your cultivation, if you wish to seek revenge for me, it will only be digging your own grave.” Fu Chengyu paused before continuing. “All these years I thought that I had offended someone during my travels and so someone plotted against me. But from today’s situation, I found out that I have made things out too simple. Someone wants me dead. But who knows whether that person has concerns, or for whatever reason, they don’t want me to die too early.”
“Then who is the other party? Is it the Deity Temple?” Ling Chuxi had confirmed her previous speculations further after hearing Fu Chengyu’s words. Dong Yi at the Miao Border was a few thousand miles away. With the capability of the First Prince, his hands and feet would not have stretched so far out to that place.
“I cannot confirm. In short, even if I die, I absolutely hope that nothing will happen to you guys.” Fu Chengyu’s expression was very solemn as he finished saying these words. “If it really is a powerful force that we can’t deal with, I on the other hand, hope that you guys will not go look for the medicinal herbs.”
“No, Senior Brother! It is impossible for me to look on helplessly as your poison spreads!” Ling Yichen shook his head with worry on his face.
“Yichen, I am already very satisfied to be able to live till now. Life and death do not seem to be any different to me. Remember, I hope that nothing will happen to every one of you present here today. Give up on this matter.” Fu Chengyu smiled faintly and consoled Ling Yichen instead.
“Alright. You guys must be tired too. I will order someone to prepare food and warm water.” Fu Chengyu smiled as he stood up and headed outside.
Ling Chuxi knew that what he said was definitely not putting on an attitude on purpose. In fact, not long after knowing Fu Chengyu, she already knew that he had long disregarded life and death. If not for having such a broad mindset, it was most likely that he would not have been able to live so long after the invasion of the frost poison.
Ling Chuxi could also hear from Fu Chengyu’s words that he was actually suspicious of the Deity Temple as well. It was just that he could not confirm it.
‘Deity Temple! Deity Temple!’ Ling Chuxi thought of E Shulan and thought of Huangfu Qingjue again. This force was littered all over in each country, yet it was like seeing the head of a divine dragon but not seeing the tail. The Deity Temple became even more mysterious in Ling Chuxi’s heart.
“What should we do now?” Baili Han asked.
“No matter what, I will not look on helplessly as Senior Brother dies. I will spread the news first that I will buy the Snow Butterfly Grass at a high price. If I can’t buy it, then I will personally go to the ice cold polar regions to look for it.” Ling Yichen said with determination.
For the next few days, the few of them spread the news out everywhere. Even Feng Yan Union got a high amount of the reward to buy the Snow Butterfly Grass at a high price. Ling Chuxi and the rest believed that it was the effort that counted. They may not necessary be rewarded for their hard work, but they would definitely not get any reward if they did not work hard. No matter how powerful the force of the Deity Temple was, they could not cover the skies with one hand too. There will always be hope.
