Chapter 172: Old Friends Meet
Sister, I need to see Master urgently. Where is she now?” Liu Liansha asked anxiously.
“Urgent? You can tell us what it is.” another senior sister said.
“No, I must speak to Master about this! Sister, please just tell me where Master is.” Liu Liansha stamped her feet anxiously.
“What do you need me for?”
At this moment, a cool voice rang out.
A woman wearing a white robe with sheer gauze draped over her shoulders walked out from behind a curtain.
She had unusually sky-blue long hair, a tall figure, and flawless features, as delicate as if carved from a painting. Just standing there, she became a beautiful sight.
However, she emanated an aura that kept people at a thousand miles’ distance.
Seeing this woman, all the Frost Cold Palace disciples present lowered their heads and called out in unison: “Greetings, Master.”
She was Su Lengyun, the current Palace Master of Frost Cold Palace.
As Liu Liansha saw Su Lengyun, Fang Yu also saw her.
Indeed, it was that little girl from years ago.
Su Lengyun’s fine brows slightly furrowed as she looked at Liu Liansha and said: “I just punished you to closed meditation for a month, and not even two days later, you’ve come out without permission…”
“Master, let’s not talk about that now, I really have something urgent!” Liu Liansha interrupted Su Lengyun’s words.
Seeing Liu Liansha’s pale face and anxious expression, Su Lengyun asked: “What is it?”
“Can, can we talk inside?” Liu Liansha glanced at the senior sisters around her and said softly.
“Come with me.” Su Lengyun turned and walked behind the curtain.
After entering the inner hall, Su Lengyun looked at Liu Liansha and asked: “Tell me, what’s the matter?”
Liu Liansha immediately knelt down and said: “Master, someone has placed a curse mark on my soul, you must save me.”
“What?” Su Lengyun’s expression changed as she stepped forward and placed her flawless white hand on Liu Liansha’s head.
A white light emanated from her palm, and indeed, she sensed an unusual energy within Liu Liansha.
This energy was very faint and subtle, hiding within Liu Liansha’s body.
Su Lengyun used her divine consciousness to search for this energy.
But after searching, she still couldn’t determine its exact location.
Su Lengyun frowned deeply and said: “Liansha, tell me, when did you receive this curse mark?”
Curse techniques were actually soul techniques.
And soul techniques were the most obscure and difficult to understand among all arts. Few people wanted to learn them, and even fewer could master them.
Su Lengyun didn’t know much about soul techniques and felt somewhat helpless.
“It was when I… ah…” Before Liu Liansha could finish speaking, she screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Su Lengyun’s body erupted with energy, her eyes turned cold as she spoke: “Who are you?”
“Not bad, reaching the Martial Sovereign realm in just over twenty years.” Fang Yu’s voice appeared in the inner hall.
Su Lengyun’s expression changed slightly, as she found this voice very familiar.
It was the voice of someone she had often thought about over all these years.
“I have no ill intentions toward your disciple. On the contrary, she tried to attack me first for one hundred million dollars. Now, I’m just giving her a small punishment, having her do something for me.” Fang Yu said.
“Who… are you?” Su Lengyun hesitantly asked.
Instead of answering this question, Fang Yu said to Liu Liansha: “Remember to complete what I asked you to do.”
After saying this, Fang Yu fell silent.
Su Lengyun stood there in a daze for a while.
Liu Liansha, pale-faced, got up from the ground.
Seeing her master in a daze, Liu Liansha tremblingly asked: “Master… am I beyond saving?”
Su Lengyun came back to her senses and asked: “Liansha, who is the person who placed the curse mark on you?”
“His name is Fang Yu. He’s very strange. He looks like he’s not even twenty years old, and his cultivation level seems to be just an Innate Martial Artist like me, but his true strength is very powerful, and he’s extremely cunning. I just…” Liu Liansha kept talking, not noticing the change in Su Lengyun’s eyes.
At this moment, Su Lengyun stood frozen in place, her eyes slightly reddened.
It really was him!
It was Fang Yu!
She had thought she would never see Fang Yu again in this life.
When she heard that familiar voice earlier, she was stunned.
She thought she had heard wrong.
But after hearing what Liu Liansha said, she was certain.
This person really was Fang Yu!
“Liansha, where did you meet him?” Su Lengyun looked at Liu Liansha and asked.
“In Jianghai City in Jiangnan…” Seeing her master’s eyes slightly reddened, Liu Liansha’s heart skipped a beat.
Could it be… she really couldn’t be saved?
“Master, am I beyond saving?” Liu Liansha asked tremblingly, her face bloodless.
“Hmm… no, you’ll be fine.” Due to her emotional state, Su Lengyun’s speech became somewhat confused.
In Liu Liansha’s mind, her master had always maintained a cool and calm demeanor.
But now, Su Lengyun couldn’t even speak clearly, and her eyes were reddened.
“Master is just comforting me… there must be something seriously wrong with my body, I’m going to die…” Liu Liansha felt her whole body go weak.
She was only twenty-three years old, she still had a long life ahead, she hadn’t earned enough money yet!
Dying like this was too tragic.
“Do you know where Fang Yu lives now?” Su Lengyun asked again.
“…Yes.” Liu Liansha answered weakly.
“Good, tomorrow I’ll go with you to Jianghai City to find him.” Su Lengyun bit her lip, hiding her inner excitement.
“Master, you’re going to find Fang Yu with me!?” Liu Liansha’s eyes lit up.
With Master’s strength, there was a chance of defeating Fang Yu!
If they could really defeat Fang Yu, the curse mark on her body would naturally be removed!
“Master, thank you!” Liu Liansha knelt down again.
…
Fang Yu lay on the bed in his room, thinking about some past events.
He should have met Su Lengyun twenty years ago, or maybe it was more than ten years ago.
At that time, he was living in Yangzhou in Huaibei.
The Su family was a local secular family in Yangzhou, with decent heritage, ranking among the top three in Yangzhou.
However, because the Su family head was too upright at the time and unwilling to cooperate with other families in doing unethical things that could earn huge profits.
Not only that, but he also reported these families’ illegal businesses to the authorities.
Over time, the Su family faced increasing hostility from more and more families.
As a result, several families joined forces and hired more than ten assassins with a hefty sum to storm into the Su family compound, killing everyone they saw.
That night, Fang Yu happened to be out for a late-night snack and passed by the Su family mansion’s entrance, where he noticed what was happening inside.
He originally didn’t want to get involved, but a girl’s crying voice caught his attention.
He turned to look and saw a six or seven-year-old girl sitting on the ground in the courtyard inside the mansion.
The girl had sky-blue hair, which looked particularly unusual.
A middle-aged man stood in front of her, covered in numerous bleeding wounds, but still standing with his arms protecting the girl.
“You can kill me, but can you spare my child!?” The Su family head shouted with bloodshot eyes.
“Sorry, Master Su, our orders are to eliminate your entire Su family.”
The assassin coldly smiled and raised his sword, slashing toward the little girl.
The Su family head used all his strength to throw himself forward, using his back to shield the little girl from the sword.
The little girl was terrified, crying and calling for her father.
Her father didn’t respond anymore.
At this point, the assassin raised his sword again.
The girl cried out, instinctively crawling outward, and happened to make eye contact with Fang Yu who stood at the door.
Fang Yu saw the fear and sadness in the girl’s big eyes, along with her glistening tears.
At that moment, Fang Yu’s long-numbed heart trembled slightly.
So, he saved this girl and killed all the assassins.
Afterward, he kept the girl with him and lived together for about half a year.
After half a year, because the girl’s pure yin constitution was very suitable for practicing Frost Cold Palace’s Ice Heart Scripture, Fang Yu sent the girl to Frost Cold Palace, and then left Huaibei.
The next time he saw the girl was today.
This girl was Su Lengyun, now the Palace Master of Frost Cold Palace.
“Time flies so fast, in my memory she was still a little kid who loved candy.” Fang Yu thought to himself.
…
The next morning, as Fang Yu walked out of the residential complex, he encountered two men in plain clothes.
“Mr. Fang, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
