”AHH!” Hearing this, I couldn't help but exclaim. So it turned out that the Master Jun was actually doing this!
Zhang Ziyuan seemed to be shocked as well. He held on tightly to my shoulder as I leaned against his shoulder while trembling all over. It was as if I, too, had experienced such a tragic battle. It was as if I had watched Jun Mingzhu jump into the flames and burn his body to the point that not even his bones could be found.
Wu Qi could not help but sigh, ”Sigh, although we juniors did not experience that great battle, the actions of the Master Jun, when we heard it, shocked us greatly as well. Unfortunately, when Zhuo Feng realized that the Master Jun was gone, he immediately realised that she had gone to Fengdu Ghost City himself, and he followed her. But in the end, he was still a step too late, and Senior Zhuo only had enough time to see Jun Mingzhu jump into the flames, and from then on, Senior Zhuo, who had been provoked, had mental problems.
Zhang Shaowu recalled his own master Zhuo Feng, and also nodded: ”That's right, he's like this, and doesn't communicate with the outside world often. At that time, I didn't know that it was because he was provoked, so I thought he was just a born weirdo, and didn't think too much about it. So there's actually such a story. I really, really was, at that time, unable to properly take care of Master. ”
Shuo Yue closed her eyes and took a deep breath: ”After I found out about this, I went crazy, I kept thinking that I killed my master, and when others came, I kept muttering that it was me who killed my master, I didn't want to explain myself at all, no matter how they misunderstood me, I kept enduring it, because I really blame myself, truly.”
”However, from then on, Fengdu Ghost City was completely annihilated and the world finally became peaceful once more. You extinguished all of the ghost lamp in the ghost lamp building, but because you used too much power, you received heavy injuries. It's just because of your and Master Jun's sacrifice, that we achieved complete victory without any bloodshed. But everyone had misunderstood you, and they were presumptuous enough to believe that it was you who lured Master Jun and Senior Zhuo into the Ghost King's ambush, causing Master Jun to die without a complete corpse. You did not explain or deny it, and even more so confirmed that you were the culprit behind the deaths of everyone in Master Jun.
Shuo Yue shook her head with all her might: ”No, from a certain point of view, it's true that I killed the Master Jun, this point will never happen. I will also not defend myself, after all these years, I have lived a life worse than death, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't even want to live anymore.”
She? The sick woman in the guest room? Who was he?
Wu Qi slowly said: ”Just now, I had a look at his; that's why I came to meet up with you guys when she was asleep. But I feel that her condition is already extremely bad.”
I couldn't help but ask, ”About that, I don't know if I should ask, but who exactly is that woman?”
I thought I would ask in vain, but I didn't expect Shuo Yue to answer my question: ”He is my childhood sweetheart's wife, Ruo Yun.”
”You have a wife?” I looked at Shuo Yue in shock.
”Yes, I have a wife. She is a maid in the Master Jun, and is older than me by three years, but we grew up together, and we have very good feelings for each other, but I was still young when I was young, so I was very ignorant about matters of the heart. Just before I returned to the Fengdu Ghost City, we were still very good friends. But who would have thought that after what happened, she risked the danger of being despised by others to save me, and hid with me. And it was also at that time that she contracted the ghost aura from the Fengdu due to her weak physique, causing her body to be in a very bad condition, because after the death of the Master Jun, no one could wake up the pyretic lustre.
I dragged my chin as I digested Shuo Yue's words. I felt that there was a lot of information: ”So the person who saved you back then was that woman, Ruo Yun. You mean, the pyretic lustre is able to purify the ghost aura on Miss Ruo Yun's body? ”
Shuo Yue nodded her head, ”Mn, yes, you may not know this, but pyretic lustre is a descendant of an ancient spirit beast and its healing and purification abilities are extremely strong. However, it is said that after the death of Master Jun, he has been in a deep sleep and has never woken up.”
I was so happy that I wanted to jump up: ”I can wake up pyretic lustre now! Then, we can choose Miss Ruo Yun? Isn't that right, Wu Qi? ”
Wu Qi nodded his head: ”I was just about to say, it's like this, I came all the way to Hangzhou because of this matter, I was originally at my wit's end, and just heard that Su Su actually woke up the pyretic lustre, what great news, ah.”
Shuo Yue still did not seem happy. ”But, after all, I have caused the death of Master Jun, how can I ask the reincarnation of her, you, to do this for me? The guilt in my heart for all these years has not diminished at all, I do not wish to be able to obtain your redemption, but Ruo Yun is innocent, she is a kind lady.”
”Alright!” I say, why are you so old-fashioned and conservative? what do you mean by redemption? If you really treat me as Jun Mingzhu's reincarnation, then I'll begin to tell you now, Master Jun doesn't blame you at all. He's always been proud of you, his disciple! If she was still here, she would definitely save Miss Ruo Yun! So, you don't have to worry about so many things, what about me, I will bring the pyretic lustre to save Ruo Yun right now, you guys wait here! ”
Ah, I've never felt so happy helping others in my life. After saying a few words, my heart felt very comfortable. As a human, I really don't want to be tangled up on a single matter.
Shuo Yue seemed to be scared stiff by my words, she didn't say anything for a long while, then stared blankly at me. I decided to first go and save her, then explain to this fool what happened.
