"Stop thinking about it."
Old Master Tu shook his head, "Extracting it is easy, anyone can do it. The Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect tried as well, but the mont he extracted it, it returned to my body. Even sealing the poison within himself was useless. This is Heart Poison, targeted only at , nothing can be done."
Lin Yue remained silent.
This explanation from Old Master Tu made him believe even more in the thod that the Fourteenth Prince had ntioned.
"It’s alright, silly child."
Old Master Tu reached out and patted Lin Yue’s head, his eyes sowhat gratified, "I have lived for several decades, been poisoned for eighteen years. I still have a few good years left, I am already content. Most ordinary folk only live this long anyway."
Ordinary folk… huh?
Lin Yue didn’t speak because he had started to cough violently again.
At this mont, he had made up his mind.
"Your Highness."
The Master bowed and asked, "Following what Prince Zhen has said, it seems that people dispatched by the Twelfth Prince might soon catch up to us. Shall we evacuate?"
"Let’s set out," Lin Yue said, "The Twelfth Prince will definitely be able to sense the position of the Life and Death Chess. We must hurry to Jingzhou."
"Shall we enter Di Hong City directly?" the Master asked.
"No," Lin Yue shook his head, "We’ll stay in Jingzhou for the ti being, Jingzhou is safe enough already."
The Master nodded gently, "Indeed, with the Eye of Heaven watching over, your identity in Jingzhou is indeed secure enough."
Lin Yue said nothing.
He was going to Jingzhou because he knew—
Once in Jingzhou, Duke Heng would be able to sense the inheritance mark inside the Life and Death Chess. Coupled with the Fourteenth Prince who would surely communicate with Duke Heng in advance, Duke Heng would naturally co to see him.
Duke Heng, whom even the Twelfth Prince feared, was a powerful ally.
Besides, he had no plans to go to Di Hong City.
"It’s a pity, Your Highness, if you had cultivated for another year or two, perhaps you might have been able to break through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier. Then you could have joined the Outer Hall of the Ancestor Hall and it would have been easier to form alliances through marriage," the Master said regretfully.
Regretting my lack of alliance, huh… Lin Yue glanced at him and said, "Master, it’s the sa now, as long as things go smoothly, we also have Duke Heng as a reliable support."
"As you say, Your Highness," the Master seed a bit worried.
Lin Yue suddenly looked around and asked, "By the way, where is Xiaoyu? Wasn’t she here before?"
Everyone was silent for a mont before the Master spoke, "When the Twelfth Prince arrived just now, I had Xiaoyu moved to another courtyard."
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow.
Was it because they were afraid the Twelfth Prince would recognize that Xiaoyu is the granddaughter of the Sixteenth Prince?
He didn’t ask further, just said, "Let’s set off."
"Yes."
...
Autumn on the plateau, the sky clear.
Behind Red Maple Lake, the massive mansion once again turned into a Flying Boat, roaring into the sky like a giant whale gliding away.
On the deck of the Flying Boat,
Lin Yue stood on the edge of the deck, watching the scenery below zip by, and looking at Liangzhou City, which he had never visited, he felt no particular regret.
Only this cough, a mont of distraction could trigger it.
After all, besides practicing cultivation, it was not possible to remain fully focused all the ti.
"Look at your cough, co, have a drink."
Old Master Tu, holding two jars of wine, ca over to Lin Yue and handed him one, "It’s for your cough."
Lin Yue looked at Old Master Tu speechlessly, thinking, Is this how an elder behaves? He was coughing so badly and still being handed a jar of wine.
Nevertheless, he took the wine and took a sip.
"Does it feel better now?"
Old Master Tu laughed heartily, took a gulp himself, then casually asked, "What was the fourth thod that Prince Zhen ntioned to you?"
