This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Old Mo smiled and agreed.

The group entered the house and asked many more questions, which were answered one by one by Mr. Mo and Mr. Lian.

Time flies by unnoticed, and night falls again. Both Mr. Mo and Mr. Lian have already left.

Lianxue returned to the inner room and sat on the soft couch as before. She began to meditate and draw talismans. She took out a talisman brush and paper and drew each stroke carefully with a focused and serious expression. The first talisman was ruined, so she started drawing it again.

This time, lightning crackled on the talisman brush, bringing out streaks of light. It seemed as if the talisman brush would be broken at any moment. The lightning consumed spiritual energy even faster because the amount of spiritual energy had to be controlled. Too much would cause the talisman to harm people, and too little would render it useless.

Fine beads of sweat could be seen on Lian Xue's forehead. Finally, after half an hour, a new Thunder Talisman appeared.

As the talisman brush fell, lightning flashed across the talisman. After a while, the lightning disappeared.

"Finally, I succeeded. If my senior sister knew, she would be so happy for me." Lianxue muttered to herself, feeling a pang of disappointment.

But I don't know where my senior sister is right now, and I can't go looking for her yet because Li Zhenzhen is deeply poisoned. Mr. Lian said that the poison can be controlled for about a year at most.

She couldn't disregard Li Zhenzhen's life.

Therefore, she insisted on going to the sect to help find the best detoxifying pills.

Regardless of what Li Zhenzhen was like, at least she carried me here, so she must have saved me.

[Senior sister, please forgive Lianxue for not being able to come to see you.] Lianxue said silently in her heart.

Banishing her worries, Lianxue glanced at Li Zhenzhen again.

He returned to his bed and began meditating.

It has been a long time since I practiced, so I am now practicing the Nine Turns Technique again.

The reason I had an odor last time was because the Nine-Bend Technique has the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow.

It removes impurities from the body, clears the meridians and blood vessels, and strengthens muscles.

Following the energy flow through the dantian acupoints again, I felt the spiritual energy cultivation, which was more than twice as fast as before.

With each breath, spiritual energy continuously flowed in.

What she didn't notice was that a wisp of spiritual energy slowly entered the Phoenix Bracelet.

Lian Xue thought to herself, "The Nine-Bend Technique is really good. The cultivation speed before I had the technique is incomparable."

A ray of moonlight slowly entered my body, making me feel much lighter.

Because she was by the window, the moonlight shone perfectly on her back.

The person on the bed lay silently and quietly.

No one saw the spiritual energy swirling around Lian Xue like a vortex.

The town of Xiaohe was quiet that night, the river flowed slowly, and the moon hung in the sky, half-hidden by the clouds.

Far from here, in the Ghost Forest.

A group of people hurriedly passed by, followed closely by two others.

"Stop! Leave Xia Lan here!" Lu Yaorao shouted from behind.

"Why are you framing me? Brother Qin, don't believe her." Xia Lan looked aggrieved.

"Shameless bastard! If you had kept quiet, I would have believed you, but you just had to keep talking. Who else could it be but you? Give me back my junior sister!" Lu Yaorao didn't stop chasing after her.

"Young lady, without evidence, it's best not to be so hasty." Qin Muzhou's voice was as gentle as when they first met; he knew Xia Lan was in the wrong.

From the moment she first met the little girl, Xia Lan acted in a way that seemed to target her at every turn. At that time, she pointed in the opposite direction, making it impossible for her to find an excuse to exonerate herself.

If they attacked together, they could easily defeat the two of them. However, they had no reason to do evil, nor did they want to. If Xia Lan were not a member of the sect and had some connection with him, he would really want to just walk away and leave without a care.

“Evidence? She let it slip herself, isn’t that evidence? What evidence do you need? If I don’t avenge my junior sister today, I’m not a Lu.” Lu Yaorao spoke faster and faster.

They searched downstream for about half a month, but still found nothing.

Just as she was feeling disheartened and giving up on herself, she happened to overhear a conversation between Xia Lan and Li Chang.

Li Chang said, "Junior sister, you've finally gotten what you wanted. The talisman I gave you was pretty good, wasn't it?"

Xia Lan replied, "Yes, I must thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother."

Lu Yaorao happened to pass by the two of them, who were hiding behind a tree. If you weren't paying attention, you really wouldn't notice them, but the two of them were talking without any restraint.

"Then how will Junior Sister thank Senior Brother?" Li Chang asked with a playful expression.

Xia Lan looked at Li Chang with a suspicious expression and said, "Senior brother, how many spirit stones do you need? I don't have many right now, but I'll give them to you when we get back."

She didn't know how much Li Chang knew, or whether he would try to extort money from her, given that Li Chang was somewhat cunning.

Previously, he had looked down on Li Chang, and Li Chang often tried to curry favor with him, but he always rejected him with a look of disgust.

"Oh, junior sister, I won't let a little spirit stone cause any trouble for you. Think about it again." Li Chang meant that he didn't need spirit stones, and anyone with a little common sense would understand that.

"Then, I..." Xia Lan was unsure. What exactly did Li Chang want?

"Junior sister, don't you know that I've always liked you?"

"You don't need to put yourself in such a difficult position. You can give me your answer after you've thought it through," Li Chang said, interrupting Xia Lan as she opened her mouth to say something.

"After all, I also gave the idea to kill that girl, so we're all in the same boat, and Junior Sister Zhenzhen is included too."

Li Chang spoke gently, but to Xia Lan at this moment, it sounded like a venomous tongue gnawing at her, making her feel uncomfortable and her blood run cold.

"What did you say?" Lu Yaorao couldn't help but ask.

"Say it again, what did you do to my junior sister... huh?" Lu Yaorao was extremely disgusted with her own powerlessness at this moment.

She rushed over, intending to attack.

"Wait a minute~ What's wrong? You must have misheard me." Li Chang was the first to react and hurriedly explained.

Xia Lan was stunned by fear. After Li Chang finished explaining his purpose, his words were full of threats.

He knew he had killed the two men because it was Li Chang who had given him the idea in the first place, and he had even been given a talisman. It turned out that he had already fallen into Li Chang's trap from the very beginning.

But before they could even express their opinion, Senior Sister Xue'er discovered their conversation and was stunned into silence.

She was stunned, but Lu Yaorao was not.

The dart flew out of his hand and hit Xia Lan directly on the shoulder, drawing blood. Li Chang reacted quickly, pulled Xia Lan away, and dashed out.

And so they ran back to the group, and it became a situation where they had to chase after them, demanding that they hand over Xia Lan.

She wanted to fight back, but there were too many of them, and they weren't bullying the weak. She couldn't attack Xia Lan directly either, because she didn't know how her junior sister was doing. Only if Xia Lan told her everything could she possibly find her junior sister.

Qi Nianbei was also furious when he learned about this, but his strength was inferior to these people. When Lian Xue first disappeared, the power of their contract was as weak as a thread, and it felt like it could break at any moment.

It wasn't until today that things started to improve. Just as I was about to tell Senior Sister Lu, she overheard their conversation, which led to the chase.

"What other evidence do you want? Do you want me to force her to tell me?" Lu Yaorao became angrier the more she pursued, feeling that she might lose control and kill Xia Lan at any moment.

"In short, you have no proof whatsoever, so why are you accusing me?" Xia Lan said stubbornly, looking aggrieved.

"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you." Qi Nianbei couldn't take it anymore. How could there be such a shameless person?
