Join the ServerSong Qingyao nodded heavily, her expression turning extremely serious.
Even though what Song Zhiyou had said was so absurd, she believed her.
She took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
Song Zhiyou sat beside her, doing nothing, her eyes vacant.
Once Little Seventh successfully formed the ultimate mutated ice spirit root, how was she going to pull Little Seventh’s hatred toward Long Aotian, so that Little Seventh would trip him up whenever she saw him?
Or maybe she could talk bad about Long Aotian?
No, no, that was too obvious.
What if she disguised herself as Long Aotian and stole Little Seventh’s spirit stone treasures?
Hmm… but Little Seventh was even poorer than her now…
If nothing else, she could just take Little Seventh’s IOU and force her to work for her?
Song Zhiyou’s eyes suddenly lit up.
She immediately got up and walked to the table, starting to list all the magical treasures and artifacts she had used along the way to save Song Qingyao…
Song Zhiyou filled two full sheets of paper, her hand a little sore from writing.
She looked up and glanced at Song Qingyao.
Song Qingyao’s face was bloodless, her whole body trembling as if she had been pulled out of water.
Cultivators regarded their spirit roots as their life. Forcibly destroying a spirit root was no different from lingchi.
What Song Zhiyou was enduring now was a pain like lingchi.
Just then, there came a bang on the door from outside.
Following that, a hurried voice.
“Yao Yao, how are you? Yao Yao?”
Song Zhiyou felt the voice was somewhat familiar, but that wasn’t important.
She rushed to the door and pulled it open.
“Who is it? What are you shouting about outside?”
The door opened, and Song Zhiyou looked left and right, but didn’t see anyone.
Just as she was puzzled, an angry voice sounded from behind the door.
“It’s me!”
Song Zhiyou froze for a moment, then closed the door slightly, and saw a man with a big red mark on his face from being slammed by the door.
So it was the second uncle of the Song family, Song Qingyao’s father.
Song Zhiyou squinted. “Second Uncle, why are you here?”
As she spoke, she moved to the door and quietly closed it.
The second uncle frowned, his gaze falling on Song Zhiyou with a moment of complexity.
But what he cared about most right now was Song Qingyao.
After glancing at Song Zhiyou, he looked back into the room.
Unfortunately, Song Zhiyou had already closed the door.
The second uncle frowned even deeper.
“Where is Yao Yao? I heard she was with you in this room.”
Song Zhiyou blinked. “Little Seventh is tired and resting. Second Uncle, you’d better not go in and disturb her.”
The second uncle was taken aback. “What did you call Yao Yao? No… what did you call me?”
“Little Seventh, Second Uncle.”
The second uncle’s eyes showed even more disbelief. After a long while, he spoke. “You’ve grown up after coming out.”
Song Zhiyou twitched the corner of her mouth. This father of Little Seventh was so mysterious.
But mysterious or not, even though she didn’t know how he found his way here, as long as he didn’t go in and disturb Little Seventh, it was fine.
She would add a mental damage fee for chatting with Second Uncle to Little Seventh’s bill later.
Song Zhiyou thought that was acceptable.
“I heard that Yao Yao was injured. Let me in to take a look. I won’t disturb her,” the second uncle said.
Song Zhiyou laughed it off. “That’s not true, Second Uncle. Little Seventh is fine. By the way, how did you get here? Maybe you should go settle in an inn first, or go back now. Little Seventh has already entered Xuantian Sect.”
Who was it?
Who had leaked the news that Song Qingyao was injured?
Besides, only a few people knew that Song Qingyao was injured.
Could it be… Zhao Nan?!
Just as Song Zhiyou was guessing, Li Xiaoye swaggered past.
“Hey, Uncle, why haven’t you gone in yet? This is the room!”
“I secretly told you that your daughter was seriously injured. Little Song You was anxious earlier but had to hide it. It must be very serious. Hurry up and go in to see if there’s any way.”
Song Zhiyou took a deep breath and looked at Li Xiaoye expressionlessly.
So it was this fool!
Li Xiaoye also noticed Song Zhiyou at this time and immediately greeted her warmly. “Little Song You, I’ve brought the person for you. Hurry up and go in. Don’t worry, I know you want to keep it a secret. I won’t tell anyone else!”
After saying that, he solemnly beat his chest.
Song Zhiyou’s temper melted like cream.
The kid was already this foolish, what more could she say…
Turning around, she met the second uncle’s scrutinizing gaze.
The second uncle strode toward Song Zhiyou, his voice cold.
“Move aside!”
“No!” Song Zhiyou spread her arms and legs in a big shape, guarding the door behind her tightly.
Seeing the tension between them, Li Xiaoye realized he had caused trouble and quickly ran in front of Song Zhiyou to block the second uncle.
“Ahem, Uncle, maybe I remembered wrong. That Little Song Yao is actually fine.”
But the second uncle ignored Li Xiaoye entirely. He only looked at Song Zhiyou with a serious expression.
“Song Zhiyou! Inside is my daughter. You must tell me clearly what happened to her today! If you don’t move aside, don’t blame me for using force!”
“Little Seventh is also my sister. I won’t harm her. She really can’t be disturbed right now. Second Uncle, please wait a moment.”
As she spoke, Song Zhiyou called out to the right corner.
“Yun Mian, lend me a sound-isolation array disk!”
In the corner, Yun Mian, wearing gray clothes, silently moved out.
She handed over the array disk and paused for a moment. “How did you find me?”
Song Zhiyou started activating the array and replied, “Your ears were almost sticking right in front of me!”
Yun Mian: “…”
The second uncle watched Song Zhiyou busy setting up a sound-isolation array and fell silent.
Song Zhiyou really didn’t seem like she was going to harm Song Qingyao.
But she insisted on not telling him what had happened to Song Qingyao and deliberately kept him outside the door.
As she spoke, Song Zhiyou even cracked the door open a hair and peeked inside.
The second uncle: “…”
Look at that! Is this appropriate?
After a long silence, the second uncle spoke. “Song Zhiyou, I won’t go in, but you need to tell me the truth. I want to know what exactly happened to Yao Yao.”
Song Zhiyou thought for two seconds, feeling she couldn’t hide it, and considered her words briefly.
“Little Seventh has an ice spirit root hidden inside her water spirit root. Right now, she is destroying her spirit root to re-establish a connection with that ice spirit root.”
The second uncle felt his heart stop.
