Chapter 26 Reason
Shortly after, inside the quiet room.

Lu Yu and Little Fairy Doctor sat facing each other, their hands forming a mudra. The surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) was drawn in by the two of them, transforming into trickles that flowed into Little Fairy Doctor's body. As the energy continued to be injected, her pale complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.

A moment later, the two finished their practice simultaneously. Lu Yu let out a long sigh and asked with concern, "How did you feel?"

"She's out of danger." Little Fairy Doctor gently shook her head.

Lu Yu frowned slightly: "What exactly happened? How did you get targeted by the Mo family?"

"It's my fault..." Little Fairy Doctor explained apologetically, "Three days ago, Qinglin broke through to the Dou Zhe level. Seeing how hard she usually cultivates, I decided to reward her and took her to the biggest restaurant in the city for a meal. During the meal, Qinglin's eyes suddenly became hot, and the innkeeper happened to see it..."

"I was too busy worrying about Qinglin at the time to pay much attention..."

"But when we were about to leave, three elders of the Mo family suddenly appeared and said they wanted to forcibly take Qinglin away." A fierce glint flashed in her eyes. "However, they underestimated my strength and were injured by me, so they did not succeed."

"A restaurant?" Lu Yu frowned.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded and said, "Later, Brother Xiao Ding inquired and found out that the restaurant was owned by the Mo family. As one of the four major families in the Northeast Province, the Mo family's eldest elder, Mo Cheng, is not only a five-star Dou Ling, but I heard that he has also climbed the social ladder by attaching himself to the Yunlan Sect. He is an outer sect steward of the Yunlan Sect and is known as 'Executioner Mo'."

"With the support of the Yunlan Sect, the Mo family is extremely powerful, known as the head of the four major families, and controls a large number of industries in the Northeast Province. That restaurant is just one of them."

"Qing Lin has already broken through to the Dou Zhe level?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yu asked.

"Hmm." Little Fairy Doctor nodded gently. "Her physique seems to be quite special. She absorbs Foundation Establishment Elixir much better than ordinary humans. In addition, I used the Yin Scroll of the Great Floating Pagoda Technique to nourish her meridians, so breaking through to the Dou Zhe realm was a natural progression."

At this point, a strange light flashed in her eyes: "However... Qinglin's eyes seem quite unusual. When she broke through, her pupils suddenly glowed with a green light, and I accidentally made eye contact with them..."

Little Fairy Doctor paused slightly, "If it weren't for the Great Floating Pagoda Technique stabilizing my mind, I probably would have been in a daze for quite a while."

"I see."

"Take good care of Qinglin during this time, and leave the rest to me."

Lu Yu's expression grew cold, and his tone became frighteningly calm.

"The Grand Elder of the Mo Clan is a five-star Dou Ling, don't be impulsive!"

Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed drastically. She was all too familiar with Lu Yu's demeanor—the calmer he appeared, the stronger his killing intent.

"Don't worry, I won't act rashly."

Lu Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "But since the Mo family has set their sights on you, they will never give up easily. Rather than waiting for them to come knocking on our door..."

"Why don't we strike first?"

"you……"

Little Fairy Doctor wanted to dissuade him, but Lu Yu raised his hand to interrupt: "I know you're worried. Come on, I'll take you to see someone."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the outer hall, and Little Fairy Doctor had no choice but to quickly follow.

At this moment, in the outer hall.

Hai Bodong was leisurely lying on a rattan chair, while Qinglin obediently made tea beside him.

Upon seeing Lu Yu and his companion approaching, the old man's eyes widened slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them: "Young Lu, speak your mind."

"I would like to ask Elder Hai to accompany me to the Mo family."

Lu Yu spoke frankly.

"This is the third thing." Hai Bodong toyed with his teacup and said meaningfully, "I naturally don't care about a mere outer sect steward of the Yunlan Sect, but are you sure you want to bear the wrath of the Yunlan Sect?"

Lu Yu chuckled upon hearing this: "I won't offend others unless they offend me. In this world, crisis and opportunity often go hand in hand." His gaze deepened as he said, "If I were the King of Fighting today, would the Mohists dare to be so presumptuous? Unfortunately, I am not yet..."

"Fortunately." He looked at Hai Bodong, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Senior is indeed..."

Upon hearing this, Qinglin and Little Fairy Doctor both looked at Hai Bodong in shock. The old man's lips twitched slightly as he listened: "Boy, let me make this clear from the start. Destroying the Mo family is easy, but if the Yunlan Sect comes seeking revenge..." He paused, "in my current state, I may not be able to protect you."

Hai Bodong's eyes gleamed, and he added meaningfully, "However, if I were to recover to my prime, it wouldn't be a problem. If you could find a way to speed up the process of breaking the seal..."

"Old fox..."

Lu Yu cursed inwardly, but a helpless expression appeared on his face as he said, "I wish I could, but unfortunately I am powerless to do so."

"Perhaps, once the younger generation's strength improves, we can speed up the process of solving the problem."

Hai Bodong raised an eyebrow and waved his hand listlessly: "Never mind, I was just mentioning it casually."

"Even if we commit murder and dispose of the body, the Yunlan Sect might not be able to find out. When should we set off?"

"Once I have made some preparations, we will set off tomorrow."

"Good lad, decisive enough."

Hai Bodong glanced at him in surprise, then stood up, his sleeves fluttering even without wind: "Then this old man will accompany you on this journey."

……

In the dead of night, the candlelight flickered.

Lu Yu sat on the bed, looked at Qing Lin who was looking nervous, and said gently, "Don't be afraid, I just want to confirm some things."

He took out a fine iron dagger and placed it in front of Qinglin: "Do you remember that day at the restaurant, when your eyes suddenly felt hot?"

Qinglin nodded timidly, her little hand unconsciously reaching for her eyes.

“Now, try to focus your attention on this dagger,” Lu Yu guided. “Imagine it as a threat, and I am your enemy, attacking me with your eyes…”

“But young master…” Qinglin shook her head in alarm.

"Trust me," Lu Yu said firmly. "I know what I'm doing."

Qinglin took a deep breath and then tried to concentrate on the dagger, but he was still unable to evoke that strange feeling.

"Young master, I can't do it..."

Qinglin looked troubled, his eyes filled with unease.

"It's very simple...like this."

A glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and he suddenly grabbed a dagger and threw it out the window. The cold blade gleamed in the moonlight, and strangely, it spun back towards him!
"Young master, be careful!" Qinglin cried out in alarm.

In an instant, the girl's emerald eyes suddenly shone with an eerie light, three strange patterns swirling within her pupils. The surrounding air distorted violently, and an invisible force erupted, blasting the incoming dagger away through the air.

"really!"

A look of surprise flashed in Lu Yu's eyes as he said, "The Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil has truly awakened!"

Then, he seemed to ponder, "Either breaking through to the Dou Zhe realm activated your bloodline, or the nurturing effect of the Great Floating Pagoda Technique took hold."

He gently pressed down on Qinglin's trembling shoulders: "This is an incredible opportunity, there's no need to be afraid. From today onwards, I will teach you how to control this power."

"Do you want to avenge your Little Fairy Doctor sister?"

"miss you!"

Qinglin raised her head, a hint of unprecedented determination flashing in her emerald eyes.

Lu Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Then you must master this power as soon as possible. Starting tomorrow, I will make a training plan for you. Don't slack off."
