Clouds and Moon Shadow

What urgent matter will occur in Chapter 482?

As luck would have it, Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu barged in.

"Yes".

Once outside, Nian Yuwei finally let out a long sigh of relief.

She raised her hand to touch her waist, where she had just bumped into the door frame and was now in considerable pain, but she had to persevere for a while to convey the Holy Maiden's orders; she absolutely could not delay.

Upon receiving the Holy Maiden's order, Doctor Qin was startled for a moment, but immediately set off with his men, along with medicinal powder specifically for Protector Ling.

Without this medicinal powder, Protector Ling would never be able to leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.

As for the reason, only the Holy Maiden and Doctor Qin know.

She then went to inform Old Wu of the Holy Maiden's orders before returning to her room.

Moyu Palace.

The saintess sat before the mirror, with long, dark green curtains hanging from the roof behind her, making the hall look like a mysterious cave, mysterious and gloomy.

She looked at her charming and assertive face in the mirror, raised her hand to stroke it, and closed her eyes slightly.

A moment later, she fluttered her hands, and several black jade butterflies flew out from her sleeves.

"Keep an eye on Protector Ling, and make sure nothing goes wrong," she said, flicking a wisp of black powder into the air.

The witch butterfly fluttered merrily through the black powder before flying out the window.

The saintess turned to watch the witch fly away. She raised her hand to look at her fingernails, where a trace of black powder remained, faintly tinged with the scent of blood.

This is a soul-chasing incense made with blood and herbs; the blood is the blood of the Ridge Protector.

Once the witch butterfly devours it, it will follow the blood's master forever, becoming his shadow.

"How could you possibly escape my grasp? I've spent fifteen years trying to win you over, so from now on—you'll stay by my side forever!"

The saint muttered to herself.

Recalling the man's handsome face and tall, upright figure, she immediately broke into a strange yet captivating smile.

Suddenly, her blood surged, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. She raised her hand to wipe it away, leaving a smear of crimson on her jade-like hand.

"Someone, summon the witch doctor," the saintess's voice rang out in the hall.

Back in her room, Nian Yuwei lay quietly on the couch, a deep despair in her eyes.

When will this kind of life ever end?

She had been indebted to the Holy Maiden when she was young, but ever since she entered the Wizard's Temple to serve the Holy Maiden personally, being beaten, scolded, and even subjected to poisoning and humiliation has become commonplace.

But this is the path I chose, and I have to keep going, even if I have to crawl.

Nian Yuwei raised her hand and touched the corner of her eye, where there was a tiny scar. It was from when she lost her child and tried to leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers to look for her, and was beaten by the Holy Maiden.

At the time, blood flowed profusely; now, only a scar remains.

But after all, I was hurt before.

Just like that child, although she hadn't seen him for many years, she had loved and cherished him like a precious jewel.

But is he still alive now?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it.

Nian Yuwei narrowed her long, fox-like eyes. Fine, let's figure out how to survive first!

I hope I'll have the chance to find him again in the future.

"Sister, that mountain peak looks like a soaring eagle!"

Xiao Nian's cheerful voice rang out in the valley, causing Gu Qingyue to burst into laughter.

"You must have seen countless eagles along the way, right? At least... seven or eight?" Gu Qingyue teased.

Xiao Nian is still a child at heart; since entering Moon Shadow Pavilion, she hasn't played much.

This time, it's like a wild horse that's been unleashed.

Along the way, whenever they see a strangely shaped mountain, they will say it looks like some kind of small animal.

For example, he has described seven or eight mountains as resembling eagles.

"Sister, doesn't that look like Brother Yu Mo's carrier pigeon?" Xiao Nian's voice rang out again.

Gu Qingyue turned around and saw him almost jumping up in Yue Ling's arms. She wanted to facepalm.

This little guy never stops moving.

"Look!" This time, it was Gu Yuanen's voice.

Gu Qingyue and the others looked up upon hearing this.

Sure enough, a grayish carrier pigeon was circling overhead.

Gu Qingyue recognized at a glance that it was the pigeon that Yu Mo used for communication.

"It is indeed Yu Mo's letter."

As soon as Yue Ling removed the small paper roll from the pigeon's leg, Xiao Nian immediately took the pigeon away.

Gu Qingyue shook her head and opened the letter.

A moment later, she looked at Mu Yun Chu in disbelief, “It’s a letter from Zhang Qing Xuan inside.”

As she spoke, she handed the letter to Mu Yun Chu.

Mu Yun Chu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, which was indeed unexpected.

The letter contained only a few simple words: We have very important news to tell you in person; we have arrived in Qihe Town, Nanzhao.

The signature is Zhang Qingxuan.

After reading the letter, Mu Yun Chu looked at Gu Qing Yue and fell into deep thought.

Gu Qingyue was still holding Yu Mo's letter, which said that he had accompanied Zhang Qingxuan and Zhang Xubai to the courtyard in Qihe Town and had written to inquire about their whereabouts, wanting to come and meet them.

Mu Yun Chu and Gu Qing Yue exchanged a glance, both feeling extremely strange.

What urgent matter could it be that Zhang Qingxuan accompanied Zhang Xubai at this time?

"Could it be that Master Zhang Xubai has recalled some important memory?"

Gu Qingyue touched her chin and asked uncertainly.

"Very likely."

Mu Yun Chu's eyes flickered. He naturally knew about Gu Qing Yue's treatment of Zhang Xu Bai, and it was said that some of his memories had returned.

Perhaps, this time he remembered something related to Lizhou? Something that concerned life and death?

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come in such a hurry, even though they knew Mu Yun Chu should be with the Great Chu delegation right now.

"Let's go! Head to Qihe Town at full speed!"

After discussing it for a moment, Gu Qingyue and Mu Yunchu immediately had Yue Ling reply to Yu Mo.

The group quickly mounted their horses and galloped towards Qihe Town.

A few days later, in Qihe Town.

In a small courtyard, a group of people sat down in the main hall.

This place was the one that Gu Qingyue had Yue Ling and the others buy, intending it to be a meeting point for Yueying Pavilion in Qihe Town, Nanzhao.

This is just what I needed.

After several months apart, Zhang Xubai's spirits were clearly much better, especially his eyes. The blankness and hesitation that occasionally flickered in his expression when they met at Linfeng Academy were completely gone.

Gu Qingyue was very gratified, which showed that the medicine she left behind was still very useful.

But at this moment, Zhang Xubai stared at Gu Qingyue and Mu Yunchu, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"What happened?" Mu Yun Chu asked Zhang Qing Xuan, who was sitting opposite her, first.

"You should tell me, Uncle."

Zhang Qingxuan didn't know how to start the conversation, so he looked at Zhang Xubai beside him.

Zhang Xubai nodded, "I remember the reason for my amnesia."

One sentence, like a pebble thrown into a lake, made Gu Qingyue, Mu Yun Chu, and the others feel a tightness in their hearts amidst their anticipation.

They had a premonition that what they were about to say might shock everyone.

After Zhang Xubai finished speaking quietly, Gu Qingyue and Gu Yuanen were completely stunned!
