Chapter 142 Fan Yao fainted
Ling Chuhe stretched out his fingers and gently fiddled with the incense ash in the cauldron, carefully searching for any possible traces, but there was nothing on it except the incense ash, not even a trace of a remnant soul left.
Ling Chuhe frowned, his eyes red, and thought to himself: "What on earth is this? Why is all this happening?"
Shu Wanwan, who was watching Ling Chuhe's actions, felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She gently patted Ling Chuhe's shoulder, trying to comfort him.
"Wanwan, go!" the voice sounded again.
Suddenly, she remembered something—that voice! The voice her master had spoken on the clifftop when he told her to leave! It was exactly the same voice she heard in the cauldron right now!
Shu Wanwan's eyes gradually became moist, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She still remembered that she hadn't listened to her master's words, choosing instead to engage in a fight. Now, thinking back, if she had listened to her master, perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened.
"Maybe... it's just a sound receiver." Shu Wanwan said softly, "This tripod may have received the master's voice." She knew that telling Ling Chuhe this cruel truth was too cruel, but apart from that, what else could she do?
Qingfeng Temple no longer exists, the master has passed away, and none of the fellow disciples are spared. Facing all this, Shu Wanwan feels extremely painful.
Ling Chuhe silently dusted off her hands and wiped away the tears from her eyes. After a long moment, she slowly turned around and said to Shu Wanwan, "Well, that should be it."
In fact, he had already felt it a long time ago. Master's spiritual power was unique. How could he not recognize it and feel it at the same time? If Master was really in the cauldron, he would have recognized him at the first sight.
Ling Chuhe continued, "I have something important to discuss with you."
Shu Wanwan glanced at Ling Chuhe and knew that this matter must be extremely important, otherwise he would not come here himself and would just send a ghost messenger.
But now Shu Wanwan also has something important to do, and that is Fan Yao!
Shu Wanwan quickly walked to the front of the Yanling Cauldron and put it away. "Go talk to Fan Yao."
Then a spiritual door opened.
The door opened into Fan Yao's company, a room that looked like a storage room. However, this time it was called a storage room but it didn't feel shabby.
Shu Wanwan, Ling Chuhe, and Yi Siyang walked into the room.
Shu Wanwan hurried out to take a look. Fan Yao was still in the meeting. She looked at the time again. Only fifteen minutes had passed?
"It seems that time flows faster in this strange world than in the outside world." Yi Siyang said this with his eyes narrowed.
"It seems so." Shu Wanwan also agreed.
Soon the three of them found a meeting room and sat down. Since Fan Yao was fine now, they decided to wait.
"Senior brother, what's the important matter?" Shu Wanwan asked Ling Chuhe.
Ling Chuhe glanced at Yi Siyang, but didn't hide it. "I've already looked up everything from this era, but there's no clue. Then, after meeting you, I thought that maybe my uncle is still alive, maybe reincarnated or something else. So he looked up the Book of Life and Death from our time and found a clue."
Shu Wanwan glanced at Ling Chuhe, sensing this might be the key to solving the mystery. She stared at Ling Chuhe intently, eagerly asking, "And then? What clues did you find?"
Ling Chuhe took a deep breath and continued, "According to the Book of Life and Death, Master-Uncle should have perished in that battle, but there's actually no definitive record of his death. This means that Master-Uncle is very likely still alive. The problem is, we haven't found any trace of him."
Hearing this, Shu Wanwan felt a surge of hope. If Old Man Shu was still alive, then they might still have a chance to see him. However, she also realized that things were not simple, because they had not been able to determine Old Man Shu's exact whereabouts.
"Has any further investigation been conducted?" Shu Wanwan asked anxiously.
Ling Chuhe shook his head, indicating that he had tried his best to find clues, but still failed to make any breakthrough.
"However, after meeting you this time, I suddenly thought of a possibility. Maybe the existence of my uncle is concealed by some kind of power, which makes us unable to detect his breath. So, I decided to come and ask you if you know some secrets about my uncle." Ling Chuhe's eyes revealed a hint of expectation.
Shu Wanwan pondered for a moment, recalling every detail of her time with Old Man Shu. Although she knew a lot about Old Man Shu's habits, she really didn't know much about his past. She had asked, but Old Man Shu never told her.
Shu Wanwan shook her head.
Ling Chuhe lowered his head and said nothing. He knew that Shu Wanwan must be feeling worse than him at this moment.
"Is there any other way?" Shu Wanwan asked softly.
Ling Chuhe raised his eyes and thought of another thing.
"What's strange is that although there are several names recorded in the book of life and death, the records of life and death are blank." Ling Chuhe continued.
After saying that, he glanced at Yi Siyang.
"Huh? One of them is me?" Yi Siyang spoke slowly, as if he had guessed this would happen.
Ling Chuhe ignored Yi Siyang and turned his face away. Then he said to Shu Wanwan, "I have already written the list." As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chuhe took out a piece of paper from the void and handed it to Shu Wanwan.
Shu Wanwan took the paper, glanced at it quickly, and was about to take a closer look when she suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside.
"Mr. Fan!! Are you okay!! Mr. Fan!"
The noise forced Shu Wanwan to put down the paper in her hand temporarily. She quickly put it away, then opened the door and walked out of the reception room.
Shu Wanwan walked out of the reception room and saw a group of people surrounding Fan Yao. She squeezed into the crowd and saw Fan Yao was pale and had his eyes closed.
Shu Wanwan quickly stepped forward to check Fan Yao's breathing and found that she was just unconscious. She breathed a sigh of relief and signaled everyone to help Fan Yao into the reception room.
After settling Fan Yao, Shu Wanwan turned to Ling Chuhe and Yi Siyang and said, "I'll check on her first. Please wait a moment."
Shu Wanwan used her spiritual power to check Fan Yao's physical condition. After a moment, she frowned and muttered to herself, "It seems like her soul is missing..."
Ling Chuhe and Yi Siyang looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.
What exactly happened to Fan Yao?
Shu Wanwan was silent for a moment, as if she had made some decision.
She raised her head, looked at the two of them and said, "She must have fainted. She must be dreaming. I want to enter Fan Yao's dream and see what happened. You wait here for me."
Ling Chuhe raised his hand and held Shu Wanwan.
"I'll go." Ling Chuhe's eyes were firm.
