Mu Qingli didn't expect that he would ask about Fu Chen, so he just opened his eyes and sat up straight, the smile on his lips faded a lot.

"Master, the Mu family doesn't have any secrets. If you want to know something, you can just ask me directly. But as a disciple, I have to say something upfront. My Mu family is famous for valuing friendship and loyalty.

The moment I woke up from the nightmare, I made a solemn vow to myself: If someone I care about hurts or harms someone, they will pay with their life. My adoptive father was like this, as were my master and my senior brothers.

Ji Zhen, holding the dry food, turned his head and met her cold eyes. He was more surprised than ever. At least those eyes were so gloomy that they didn't look like those of a little girl who was only ten years old.

He quickly averted his gaze, snorted coldly, and said in a calm tone, "You are quite good at talking. I just find it interesting that he is a man of the Jianghu, yet he works so hard and tirelessly to conquer the world for the emperor."

"You are wrong. My adoptive father only went to take care of his brother and protect him repeatedly because he was worried about him. It has nothing to do with the emperor."

Mu Qingli's expression remained unchanged, but this time she sat up straighter and tilted her head to speak to him, "By the way, Master, once I'm settled here, I'll write a letter home and ask them to go find the remaining herbs. That way, Master's worries will be alleviated."

Very good, this new disciple is indeed quite capable. He even knows his secrets. Even Xue Xingqi in the pavilion doesn't know who those herbs are for...

Ji Zhen glanced at her and his expression relaxed a lot. He seemed to have noticed something, but his eyes flashed slightly and he said nothing.

Qilan looked back and forth at them, then silently moved closer to the young lady, quietly looking down at the medical book.

The young lady was afraid that she would be bored on the road, so she prepared several new medical books for her. She had never read them before and they were really interesting.

Mu Qingli turned his head to glance at the girl beside him and raised the corner of his lips slightly.

Qilan is indeed lively, but whenever she comes across a medical book she has never read before, she will completely immerse herself in it. She has a unique talent and sensitivity in medical skills. If she can learn it in the Ferry Pavilion, I am afraid that even the imperial doctors in the palace cannot match her skills.

The carriage sped along, turning and taking many detours, heading towards the Ferry Pavilion. Mu Qingli did not lift the curtain to observe the route outside until the carriage stopped and Xue Xingqi asked them to get off.

Qilan got out of the car first, so that she could protect the young lady if there was any danger.

Mu Qingli jumped off the carriage without noticing. He looked around curiously and found that the carriage was parked on the edge of a cliff. There were clouds and fog about ten feet away, which looked a bit scary.

"Okay, stop looking. See this spot? Stand up from here, hold onto something nearby, and then stand still.

Xue Xingqi snorted lightly and then raised his chin towards them, motioning them to stand closer to the edge of the cliff.

"You...you want us to jump off a cliff?"

Qilan took a tentative step forward, and when she looked down, she began to feel dizzy. She subconsciously pulled her mistress back quickly.

Are you kidding? If you stand up from here, you will fall to the bottom!

Mu Qingli was very interested. He looked around and quickly found the place where the mechanism was opened. It was obvious that the mechanism had been opened by someone just now.

"I thought Guang Zun was teasing me, but I didn't expect it to be true. No wonder you guys at the Ferry Pavilion are so secretive. Hiding in the clouds, no one knows where you are. You're truly amazing."

She even knew the location of the mechanism?! How much did her adoptive father tell her when he was knocked unconscious? How could he tell everyone about all the family affairs?

Xue Xingqi's eyes widened and his face turned almost dark. He subconsciously glanced at the man beside him but didn't dare to say a word.

Perhaps because he had heard too many shocking secrets of the pavilion, Ji Zhen was not surprised at all at this moment. He simply stepped forward and stepped into the clouds to demonstrate to them.

Mu Qingli didn't say anything, but took Qilan's hand and followed. Soon the four of them stepped onto the iron frame hidden in the clouds and were lowered step by step.

I have to say that it was not easy for the Ferry Pavilion to come up with this trick. No wonder they had to rely on the betrayal of insiders and that thing to capture Guang Zun.

The four figures gradually disappeared in the clouds, and soon two people appeared from nowhere. One of them drove the carriage away skillfully, and the other cleaned up all the traces left behind. They cooperated with each other in perfect harmony.

As the iron frame gradually descended to the bottom, the clouds and mist slowly dissipated, and Mu Qingli was finally able to see the environment clearly. He didn't expect that the Ferry Pavilion was hidden in such a large valley and had so many palaces built.

Qilan subconsciously protected her side, reached out and quietly tugged at her sleeve, and spoke in a low voice.

"Miss, is this the base of the Ferry Pavilion? Do we really have to cooperate with them? You can't hide anything from me in other people's territory. I have to take good care of you!"

She only has some medical skills. Even if she made some medicine, if the enemy outnumbered her and a fight broke out, she might not be able to defend herself. How could she not be afraid?

"Relax, this is Master's territory, and that's my territory, it's also half my home. Master will protect me. We'll live here from now on. You must practice your medical skills and hidden weapons well for future use."

Mu Qingli glanced at the two people walking in front calmly, her voice calm, as if she didn't know what she was hinting at.

Qilan nodded obediently, quietly took half a step forward to protect herself, her eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, and she also hid a few silver needles in her hand.

Who knew that Xue Xingqi in front of him didn't even turn his head and just snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Alright, let your girl put away the things in her hands. No one dares to embarrass you here without the order of the Lord. It's better not to mess around."

"Did you hear that, Alan? There's no need to be so defensive. Just think of it as us coming out for a change of pace and living in the manor. It's all the same."

Mu Qingli also agreed with this point. This time she revealed so much information just to make the people in the Ferry Pavilion let down their guard against her in the shortest possible time. After all, there are some things that only the two Lords of Light and Darkness know.

Of course, this is the same reason she used for her adoptive father and brother. She doesn't have that much time for them to slowly accept her changes, so she can only use drastic measures.

After thinking for a while, she turned her head and pulled her master's sleeve, quickly putting on the half mask that had been in her arms for a long time, which perfectly covered the upper half of her face, leaving only her thin red lips exposed.

"Master, I don't want to reveal my identity so soon. From now on, I will use a code name in the Ferry Pavilion. My code name is Shura."

Shura appears in the world only for revenge~

Ji Zhen glanced at her deeply and put on the strange mask, then raised his chin towards Xue Xingqi.

"Ayue, go call everyone in your family out and have them recognize the people. You go and personally select a group of people from the Dark Valley for her to use. From now on, she will be the master of Shura Palace."
