Chapter 438 Past Life 2
"I will attend the aristocratic family gathering as the young master of the Lin family, and let Chen Luoluo go as your fiancée."

After leaving Cloud Peak, Lin Zhao was momentarily at a loss as to where to go.

She opened the Heavenly Mirror and accepted several small demon-slaying tasks.

"If only I could stay completely independent like this forever." Lin Zhao looked at his hands and sighed, "I need to find a cultivation technique to practice, otherwise staying in the Foundation Establishment stage all the time isn't going to work."

For this mission, I'll use my savings to buy a cultivation technique from an auction house.

She was too ashamed to go back to the Lin family to retrieve the cultivation manual after what happened on the summit of Cloud Peak.

After pondering the matter, Lin Zhao headed in the direction indicated by the Heavenly Mirror.

However, this mission went a bit wrong. The Heavenly Mirror had said there were only three Foundation Establishment stage minor demons, but when they arrived at the destination, they discovered that the other side was actually hiding a Golden Core stage demon.

Lin Zhao could only flee with the child who hadn't yet been eaten by the demons. Eventually, she lost consciousness and went black.

When Lin Zhao woke up, he found himself in a very dilapidated thatched hut. A tall figure was standing with his back to him, and a medicinal fragrance wafted from his direction, which made Lin Zhao's aching body feel a little better.

She tried to move her fingers, but found she couldn't move them at all, so she closed her eyes.

It seems that the bone has been injured.

How miserable...

Lin Zhao gave a wry smile and thanked the other party: "I am a disciple of Cloud Peak. Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist. I wonder if you..."

The other person turned around, and a pair of pale silver eyes instantly startled Lin Zhao, leaving him speechless.

The boy's skin was so white it was almost transparent, his silver eyes were aloof, and his thin cherry-colored lips made him seem even more indifferent. His dark hair was simply tied up with a white jade hairpin.

His appearance still retained the youthful spirit and naivety, but his temperament had acquired the cold and profound beauty of a lotus in the cold mountains.

Lin Zhao moved her lips, wanting to flatter her savior, but then she heard her savior scold her with disdain: "A Foundation Establishment stage idiot who doesn't even have a cultivation technique dares to go and save people so casually."

Lin Zhao, not to be outdone, defended herself: "The Heavenly Mirror says there are only three Foundation Establishment stage demons."

She could easily defeat three, or even thirty, Foundation Establishment stage demons!

The boy sneered, "Isn't that being an idiot?"

Lin Zhao: "..." Fine, the world is vast, but your benefactor is the greatest.

Who told the other person to save her life?
Seeing that the other person had placed the medicine on the small wooden table next to him, Lin Zhao smiled ingratiatingly: "Fellow Daoist, that little child with me..."

"He's still alive, and his parents took him away. Unlike you, who spent so much effort and almost lost your life trying to save someone, and nobody even paid any attention to you."

Lin Zhao chuckled, "Look at what you're saying! Didn't you save me? That's what they call good deeds being rewarded!"

The other person's gaze suddenly became subtle: "You think I'm saving you?"

Lin Zhao didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly asked, "Otherwise what?"

The young man smirked: "If it weren't for the fact that your Ancient Phoenix Luck is useful to me..."

Lin Zhao, who hadn't quite heard what the other person said, was now completely focused on the bowl of medicine. Smelling its aroma, Lin Zhao said, "Benefactor, I can't move right now, you..."

"It's just that your limbs can't move." A faint hint of malice flashed in the boy's eyes: "You can still move your body, figure it out yourself."

Lin Zhao: "..." The way he said he was going to find a solution, could it be what I was thinking?

"..."

As it turns out, that was exactly what they meant.

Lin Zhao could only fend for herself, like a dog, and slowly swallow her medicine.

Although the posture was not very elegant, it must be said that the medicine was extremely effective.

Just half an hour after drinking it, Lin Zhao felt uncontrollable pain in his limbs, as if they were being broken inch by inch.

Lin Zhao was covered in sweat due to the intense pain.

While she was writhing and struggling on the bed like an irregular stick insect, the silver-eyed boy was leisurely writing and reading.

Once Lin Zhao had endured the pain and found that he could move his hands again, he immediately felt that he could go through the pain all over again!
"You can only drink the next bowl of medicine in three days," the boy reminded her, as if he knew what she was thinking. Lin Zhao didn't understand: "Why?"

The boy said coldly, "Because I won't be in the mood to brew the medicine until three days later."

Lin Zhao: "..."

However, the other party still prepared a wheelchair for Lin Zhao, who was unable to walk during this period.

Of course, he did this not entirely out of kindness, but to order Lin Zhao to do the work.

Lin Zhao, in her wheelchair, chopped firewood, repaired rooms, gathered herbs, minced meat, caught chickens, and cooked rice for him, doing almost everything she could.

During their time together, Lin Zhao also discovered that this young man was like a sharp-tongued and noble cat. No matter where he was, he always made himself look beautiful and otherworldly. He was very picky about the things around him and disliked being restricted or arranged.

Overall, the two of them got along quite well.

On the third day, while preparing the medicine, Lin Zhao learned the boy's name.

Qu Shu.

Qu Shu explained his name as follows: "Qu means highbrow and unpopular, and Shu means extraordinary and unparalleled."

Lin Zhao has also acquired a new skill for getting along with him during this time, which is to tease him from time to time: "It can also be the difference between different worlds and different things."

Qu Shu looked at her coolly, and then introduced himself again in a sarcastic tone, "My name is Qu Shu. Qu as in 'highbrow and unpopular,' and Shu as in 'different world and different affairs.'"

Lin Zhao laughed awkwardly, quickly raised his hands in surrender, and introduced himself: "Lin Zhao".

After all, he still needs to rely on his opponent to heal his injuries.

However, the more Lin Zhao spent time with Qu Shu, the more she realized that he seemed to know everything, to the point that she would habitually ask him about anything she couldn't understand.

Although Qu Shu is fastidious and has a cleanliness obsession, and is also sharp-tongued and arrogant, Lin Zhao can still answer her questions by smiling and coaxing her a few times.

When Lin Zhao fully recovered, she was somewhat stunned to see the young man opposite her hand her a scroll.

"This is?"

"The Heavenly Phoenix Guide." Qu Shu gently stroked the scroll with his hand: "It's a cultivation technique that my mother left for her child. I'm not suitable to cultivate it."

Lin Zhao asked, "Aren't you her child?"

Qu Shu curled her lips: "I am not the child they want. I am just a phoenix with the fortune of an ancient phoenix, unable to cultivate the Heavenly Phoenix Guide, and unable to become the savior of the clan."

Lin Zhao looked at the scroll for a while, "No one is obligated to be a savior."

Qu Shu looked at her.

Lin Zhao pushed the scroll back: "I've been eating and living in your house these past few days, it would be too much of an inconvenience to take anything from you again."

Now that she has recovered and can mobilize her spiritual energy again, of course she should repay her properly!

Lin Zhao spent a long time rummaging through his spatial ring before realizing that he had given all his things to his junior brother and Chen Luoluo over the years, and that he didn't actually have anything of value on his own.

Lin Zhao: "..."

Qu Shu was quite pleased to see her in such an embarrassed state, and laughed heartily without giving her any face.

Lin Zhao simply took out the symbol of her identity from the ring and handed it to Qu Shu.

"This thing is worth some money."

Qu Shu: "..."

"Then you can consider this Heavenly Phoenix Guide as a purchase."

Qu Shu in the early stages: She was just a tool for me to climb the social ladder.

Later, Qu Shu said: It's good that she doesn't remember.

Qu Shu is the most awkward of the male leads, like a cat. Unlike Su Bai and Ning Wengui, who would express their feelings to Lin Zhao when they needed them, he wouldn't. He's stubborn to the extreme.

The next chapter will conclude the story of the previous life. After these two chapters explain the events, we will move on to dealing with matters concerning the Heavenly Phoenix Plane.
