Doomed by Fate, My Sect Urges My Comeback - Chapter 246

Finally, after examining the painting, Yan Shoulu set it down and looked up at Bai Roujing.

For a moment, Bai Roujing almost thought Yan Shoulu had recognized her, her hand ready with the prepared medicine.

But in the next second, Yan Shoulu shyly lowered his head, as if embarrassed.

“Thank you, Miss. May I ask where you bought this painting?”

Bai Roujing breathed a sigh of relief.

She secretly thought, “Thank goodness he didn’t find out.”

The system reminded her, “Host, it’s best to handle this quickly. You don’t have time to tangle with him. After absorbing his energy twice, you need to go into seclusion in the Opportunity Tower to cultivate.”

Bai Roujing responded impatiently, “I know, shut up. Teasing an innocent man is more enjoyable than watching them open up in bed.”

Yan Shoulu’s blushing face made him look like an innocent young man, something Bai Roujing hadn’t seen in a long time.

The system stayed silent.

Seeing Bai Roujing lost in thought, Yan Shoulu asked again, “Miss, where did you buy this painting?”

Bai Roujing smiled seductively. “I saw it at a roadside stall. Are you very interested in it? Is the person in the painting you?”

Yan Shoulu pondered for a moment. “Yes, it is me. This painting was done by my foster mother.”

He stood up eagerly. “Can you take me to see where you got it?”

Bai Roujing smiled brightly. “Sure.”

Meanwhile, Mo Yu was busy checking in at various places.

This time, most of the rewards she received were elixirs and cultivation manuals.

“Your check-in task is complete. Congratulations, you have received a Grade Ten Elixir, the Primordial Yang Pill.”

“Your check-in task is complete. Congratulations, you have received a Heaven-tier Spiritual Weapon, the Black Tortoise Sword.”

“Your check-in task is complete. Congratulations, you have received the ‘Heavenly Spirit Formation Manual’.”

“…”

There was even a formation manual among the rewards.

Mo Yu flipped through it casually, and the contents imprinted themselves in her mind.

The formations in the manual were extremely intricate, but she wasn’t interested in them. She decided to give it to Yan Shoulu later.

Yan Shoulu and Bai Roujing had a pleasant conversation. Although they didn’t find any clues about the painting, they agreed to meet again next time.

Before parting, Yan Shoulu shyly asked, “Miss, my Senior Sister and I are staying here tonight. Would you like to join us for dinner?”

Bai Roujing gently shook her head and put her veil back on.

“No, thank you. Let’s meet tomorrow. I’ll investigate the origin of this painting when I return.

Hopefully, we can find your parents soon.”

Yan Shoulu smiled. “Thank you.”

At dinner time, when Mo Yu and Yan Shoulu met up, Yan Shoulu cautiously turned and closed the door, drawing a formation on the door and walls before sitting back down at the table.

Mo Yu raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? Why so tense?”

Yan Shoulu lowered his voice. “Senior Sister, do you remember the day we were besieged by so many sects at the Blazing Fire Pavilion? There was a female disciple who appeared then.”

“Bai Roujing?”

“Yes.” A cold light flashed in Yan Shoulu’s eyes.

“That woman came to see me today and brought a painting.”

Mo Yu’s eyebrows furrowed. “She came looking for you?”

Bai Roujing was targeting Yan Shoulu again?

Yan Shoulu’s face was serious. “Our master once said that Tuo Yue Sect’s actions that day were very secretive. To this day, they don’t know how Shui Yun Sect found out about it, right?”
