The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 757: Search

Once this was said, it immediately attracted all sorts of gazes.

Even Jiang Yucheng knitted his brows and glanced at her in extreme disapproval. “Wan’er, everyone is severely injured now, so it’s most important to leave as soon as possible. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate if we go to Mirror Lake now.”

Shangguan Wan pressed her lips against each other and knitted her brows. “But I haven’t found a single herb for Father.”

“Besides, even though there’s trouble in the Mystic Forest, the Mirror Lake might be okay. Dahuang Swamp is vast and wide. If we only make a trip to the Mystic Forest and leave without finding anything… Then, what’s the meaning of this journey?”

After thinking for a while, he could only agree. “Alright, then we’ll go to Mirror Lake next. But if we meet with similar dangers again, we must leave Dahuang Swamp without hesitation!”

Shangguan Wan naturally agreed.

The two people with the highest authority had already made up their minds, so even if the remaining people didn’t want to do so, they had to follow.

Quite a few Black Guards exchanged glances and could see the reluctance in each other’s eyes. They were Tianling Dynasty soldiers and were different from those who were always stationed in Xi Ling. Most of those who came to Dahuang Swamp had once battled here and experienced countless life and death scenarios. They long knew how dangerous this place was and had already prepared themselves.

None of them were afraid of dying, but now… They felt a little strange.

Shangguan Wan didn’t even care about them and even damaged the Princess’s pure gold armor. In their eyes, this was something they couldn’t forgive.

Hence, the atmosphere around the Black Guards was completely different compared to at the start. They couldn’t be convinced by Shangguan Wan!

At this point, the Mystic Forest’s exterior had already stopped collapsing. Even though the ground was uneven, everyone could still leave smoothly.

Behind the crowd.

Mu Hongyu and the rest didn’t move as they stood beside Qin Yi with worried gazes. “Big Brother Qin, can you find out where Liuyue is now?”

Qin Yi kept quiet for a moment and lightly shook his head. “There’s a force below that shuts everything outside, so I can’t detect her location. However, I can confirm that the force is coming from the mother tree, so… It definitely has something to do with the Mystic Forest’s current state.”

Ye Ranran clasped her hands and worriedly asked, “T-then will Liuyue be under that mother tree? If we go down, can we find her?”

“Liuyue… is still alive?” A shocked and surprised voice sounded.

The few of them turned around. “Senior Brother Zhu Hong?”

Mu Hongyu’s gaze quickly swept across Zhu Hong. His injuries had basically healed, and the people behind him were Dragon Teeth Mountain’s disciples.

“You didn’t leave with them?” Mu Hongyu asked curiously.

Zhu Hong shook his head. “Liuyue saved our lives, so how can we just leave like this?”

Previously, he also thought that Chu Liuyue was already dead and was upset over this for quite some time. Seeing that Mu Hongyu and the rest were still standing here, he was curious and walked over. Then, he coincidentally heard them discussing how to find Chu Liuyue.

Not mentioning the others, Qin Yi and Lei Laosi were extremely strong. If they said that Chu Liuyue was still alive, then it shouldn’t be wrong.

He originally didn’t want to believe that Chu Liuyue was already dead. Now that he heard there was hope, he naturally wanted to find her whereabouts.

Zhu Hong then looked at Qin Yi and solemnly bowed. He could tell that the latter was the strongest amongst these people and that he was like their backbone. The most important point was that Qin Yi was willing to help find Chu Liuyue!

“Young Master Qin, we know that we’re a little weak and that we’re even injured, so we might not be able to help much… But Liuyue is our benefactor. We must repay her favor! If you have any requests, just say it!”

Qin Yi glanced at the other with a warm gaze, but he still shook his head. “I understand your kind intentions, but this place is indeed dangerous. You shouldn’t stay here.”

Zhu Hong and the rest looked disappointed.

“The force hidden below is extremely terrifying. If it explodes, even Four or I might not be able to protect all of you. If something really happens, won’t you waste all her efforts in saving all of you?”

Qin Yi sounded calm, but every single word he said was like a rock that smashed against the crowd’s hearts.

Zhu Hong laughed bitterly. He knew that Qin Yi was being very tactful with his words.

All of them had injuries to varying extents. They weren’t afraid that they couldn’t help—they were afraid that they would become their burdens and that it would backfire.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Hong sighed deeply. “Young Master Qin, you’re right. Then… I have to trouble you to find Liuyue!”

Zhu Hong looked at Mu Hongyu. He initially wanted to convince the latter to leave with them, but thinking that she and Chu Liuyue were bosom friends and that she definitely wouldn’t want to leave, he didn’t say anything.

Mu Hongyu nodded. “Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, please take care.”

Very quickly, Zhu Hong and the rest also left with the main team.

Only Qin Yi and the rest were left behind.

The mother tree was still quickly wilting!

…

After walking a distance, Shangguan Wan turned around to take a look and vaguely saw a few people standing at their original spots and not moving.

Jiang Yucheng followed her gaze and slightly knitted his brows. “Why did the few of them stay behind?”
