al herbs, she knew that the older the ginseng, the more expensive it was. The difference between 500 years and 1,000 years wasn't just half the price; it was tenfold or even dozens of times more expe...Ye Bufan glanced back. At this moment, the Gu King had taken off the mask on his face and returned to being Long Xiaoyue as before.

She is now looking at herself carefully, as if she were a little girl who had done something wrong.

He smiled faintly, "Why apologize to me You haven't done anything wrong."

"Because I lied to you," Long Xiaoyue said with a face full of apology. "Little brother, in fact, I have never lost my memory. All those things were made up to deceive you."

Ye Bufan pulled her down to sit on a nearby boulder: "Then why did you lie to me There must be a reason."

Long Xiaoyue sat close to him and said, "In our Guwangzhai, according to the tribal rules, the Gu King never shows his true face. The purpose is to prevent being attacked during the transmission of power."

But sometimes these things are unavoidable, for example, I am sister An Cai'e.

My master passed away recently. Though I secretly took over her position as the Gu King, she still sensed it and was extremely unhappy about it.

Actually, I don't really care about the position of the Gu King. But before my master passed away, she specifically requested that I take it, and absolutely not allow An Caie to have it. I must follow her last wishes.

But judging from my previous strength, I'm not too far behind An Caier. My master is a bit worried.

Before she passed, she told me the location of the pool and said that the Xuan Yin Jujube fruits would ripen very soon.

Let me go and harvest some after which I can raise the level of my insect, she used to enter the Heavenly Rank thanks to a single Xuan Yin Zhu Guo.

So I went there alone, but I didn't expect that there were two big snakes in the pool, and they were much more powerful than what my master had said.

Because it was unexpected, I got hurt, but luckily I met Little Brother.

Ye Bufan said, "Then, after you woke up, you suspected that I had Xuan Yin Zhu Guo on me, so you lied, didn't you"

Long Xiaoyue's cheeks flushed: "Little brother, I had no choice. If I can't get the Xuan Yin Jujube Fruit, my gu worms can't advance."

If I can't ascend to the Heavenly Gu, I can't sit securely on my position as the Gu King, and I won't be able to fulfill Master's last wish, so that's why I deceived you.

But I don't understand, aren't you the Gu King What does it have to do with me giving you or not giving you the Xuan Yin Zhu Guo

It's nothing, I didn't think you would actually give me something so precious at the time.

"I was just thinking, what if I lost my memory Then I could stay by your side and secretly take the fruit myself."

"Speaking of this, Long Xiaoyue hurriedly blushed and explained, "Little brother, I'm not a greedy person. If you have three, I would only take one, and the rest would still be yours."

Ye Bufan said, "Then what happened Since you already had the Xuan Yin Zhu Guo to help the Gu worms advance, why didn't you just tell the truth or leave directly"

Later, when you so generously gave me the fruit, I felt very embarrassed. So I want to stay by your side and help you with some things as a way of repaying your kindness.

Little brother, these past few days with you by my side, I've been truly happy. But the more you treat me well, the guiltier I feel. Now, I can finally say it.

"Speaking of which, the little girl let out a breath and said to him, “Little brother, I really didn't mean to deceive you. Please forgive me, okay”

Ye Bufan said with a straight face, "Of course not."

Long Xiaoyue saw his angry face and immediately panicked. Her beautiful big eyes already had tears welling up: "Little brother, you wouldn't really be angry with me, would you I had no choice, that's why I lied to you at the time..."

"Alright, I was just kidding you." Ye Bufan said with a smile. "I've never been angry at you, so there's nothing to forgive or not forgive."

Long Xiaoyue said: “Really You’re not kidding me, are you”

"Of course it's true." Ye Bufan said, "Actually, this time I want to thank you. If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have been able to take down the Shangguan family so quickly, and I might even be in danger. So, I really should thank you."

As for your identity, to me it really doesn't matter. Whether you have amnesia or whether you are the Gu King of Guwang Village, in my eyes, you are just Long Xiaoyue.

"Little Brother, you are so kind. You are the only person in this world I can completely trust."

The little girl excitedly finished her words, then fell into a despondent mood. "It's a shame I couldn't find the antidote for Sleeping Beauty."

Ye Bufan patted her shoulder and sighed, "It's not your fault that the Shangguan family is gone."

Long Xiaoyue said, "Little brother, what do you plan to do next"

"I don't know yet." Ye Bufan said resolutely. "But no matter what, Xue Ning was poisoned because of me. Even if I have to search every corner of the world, I will find the antidote and save her."

“Little brother, you’re so good to your girlfriend,” Long Xiaoyue said. “Actually, you could discuss it with Old Master Zhu You. The Zhu You family originally came from a family of medicine practitioners. And Zhu You’s skills are truly miraculous, often bringing people back from the brink of death. Perhaps he could save your girlfriend too.”

Ye Bufan's eyes lit up. He had seen records about Zhu Yu Shu in the inheritance, although he didn't believe it, he was also extremely impressed by its effects.

"You're right, I'll go find Mr. Zhu Yu right now."

He finished speaking and stood up, just as Zhu Yongji came over from the side.

"Young Master Ye, could I have a word with you"

Wishing Guangji finished speaking and glanced at Zhu Youjian standing beside him. His eyes were filled with complex emotions: love, regret, and pain.

Long Xiaoyue saw that the two people had something to discuss, so she directly put on her mask and walked away.

"Grandpa, I also have something to ask you."

The two of them spoke again and sat back down in the same spot. Zhu Youguangji said, "Brother Ye, our Zhu family has offended you before, please forgive us."

"Those who don't know shouldn't be blamed, it's nothing to make a fuss about," Ye Bufan said.

"Young man, I have a favor to ask of you. My old bones would like for you to return my sword to the Zhu family so he can rest in peace. What do you say"

This is the result of his careful consideration. Whatever happens, Yu Jian has already died and it's best for him to rest in peace.

But he had just seen it himself, his own grandson was now someone else's corpse puppet, and a very precious golden corpse, comparable to a Heaven Rank warrior.

In this case, if he brings up this request again, it would be excessive and the other party probably won't agree.

But no matter what, he had to give it a try. After all, this was his grandson, the one he'd loved most since childhood. He couldn't just stand by and watch him become someone else's puppet.

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Ye Bufan, his eyes filled with hope.

"Ye Xiaoxia, the old man also knows that this request is a bit too much. If you need any kind of compensation, just say it. Even if we empty our entire Zhu You family, we will satisfy you."

Ye Bufan did not directly answer his question but asked instead, "Elder, how much do you know about the art of refining corpses"

"This… is utterly clueless. We, the Zhu Family, specialize in medicine and Zhu's Healing Arts. We have no involvement whatsoever with necromancy."

"Master Yu Guangji said, 'Old man just happened to be a little curious, so I dared to ask. Brother Ye, you're not a cultivator from an evil sect, why are you so proficient in the art of refining corpses, and even more skilled than the Shangguan family'". You wouldn't go through all this trouble to bring me here.""Since you're so eager to flee Tianlang City, I imagine facing my friends wouldn't give you much hope of victory."Ye Bufan tried to use his...
