A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 130 Secret Medicine Gu Heart

"Yueyu greets Lord Zuohu."

In the messy courtyard of Chaoyun City, Yan Yu walked into the dilapidated house alone again. The blacksmith with a green and red mask did not light a fire to forge iron today, and the house became particularly deserted.

"Your mission has failed." The blacksmith sat at a table, as if waiting for Yan Yu's arrival. His voice was still hoarse and cold.

"The root cause of this failure lies with Zhao Changhe. He acted on his own without telling Huanyu, which alarmed the court. In addition, the famous Li from Jiangnan has important officials from the court backing him up. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Huanyu had to stop." Huanyu, kneeling in front of the blacksmith, replied calmly.

"Don't you always boast of being smart? How come you can't even control Zhao Changhe?" The blacksmith sneered and poured himself a cup of tea. He stopped drinking and glanced at Yanyu with a mocking look.

"It is indeed Xuanyu who was careless this time. Please give Xuanyu another chance, Lord Zuo Hu."

"Have you been in touch with your sister in southern Xinjiang in recent years?"

"Lord Zuo Hu, you know that my sister sold me to Yingmen as a bargaining chip several years ago. Since then, she and I have been strangers and have no contact with each other." Xuanyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, like a sharp knife that made people shudder.

The blacksmith stared at the cold and ruthless face of Yan Yu in silence. After a while, his hoarse voice sounded again: "Although the sect master is quite dissatisfied with your action this time, he still concealed it for you. But you must succeed as soon as possible. If you delay any longer, if the higher-ups blame you, we will not be as tolerant of you as we are now."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Zuo Hu, and thank you, Lord Sect Master."

"Doesn't Zhao Changhe want to avenge his blood feud? Since he is a sharp knife, we should make good use of him and end the battle quickly." The blacksmith drank another cup of hot tea and continued to advise.

"Yes." Yan Yu lowered her head and frowned unconsciously.

"Go back to Southern Xinjiang when you have time. Although you and your sister haven't been in contact for many years, you are still blood relatives. Recently, I heard that the Poisonous Insect Valley has a secret medicine called Gu Heart, which can control people's minds and souls. Your sister, as the eldest disciple of the Poisonous Insect Valley, must know about it. If this secret medicine is used by our Southern Film, it will surely strengthen the Southern Film and will no longer have to be despised by their Northern Film." There was silence in the room for a moment, and the blacksmith suddenly stood up, changed his attitude and personally helped Yan Yu up, and spoke to her in a serious tone.

"Since Lord Zuo Hu has given the order, Huan Yu is willing to give it a try. However, since it is a secret medicine, the Poison Insect Valley will certainly not pass it on to others. Although Hong Hua is my sister, our sisterly feelings have always been indifferent. We are separated by our hearts, so I am afraid there is little hope." Huan Yu responded respectfully, but she could not help but sneer in her heart. Even the head of the Shadow Sect could not get the secret medicine, and a mere Zuo Hu wanted to have such greed? But based on her understanding of Zuo Hu over the years, he did not have the courage to look for the secret medicine privately. She thought he was looking for it for the Sect Master.

"It's okay, you can try it first." The blacksmith nodded with satisfaction.

When Yan Yu walked out of the courtyard, she suddenly smelled a faint strange fragrance. She frowned, sighed secretly, and left quickly.

"Come out." There was a wall blocking the end of the alley. After looking around vigilantly, Yan Yu spoke coldly.

"Huh? How did you find me when I was hiding so secretly?" A charming and alluring female voice sounded, and a graceful figure in Miao clothing and a red veil on her face walked out from the other end of the alley, twisting her waist and walking towards Yan Yu.

"Sister, why are you following me instead of doing business in southern Xinjiang?" Xuanyu stared at Honghua who was coming towards her with cold eyes, feeling a little impatient.

"Who said I followed you? Isn't it just a coincidence in this big world? Besides, does my business have to be done in southern Xinjiang?" Seeing his sister being so cold to him, Honghua instantly lost interest in joking. He then returned to normal, put his hands on his hips, frowned and snorted.

"That's me being nosy." Yan Yu didn't bother to pay attention and walked past the other person to leave.

"I didn't expect my sister to be such a good liar." Honghua suddenly sneered.

"Since you eavesdropped on my conversation with Lord Zuo Hu, you should know that the Shadow Sect is eyeing the secret medicine in your hand."

"So what if they're thinking about me?" Hong Hua chuckled, then sighed with regret and grievance: "The Shadow Sect wants the secret medicine, and I want it too, but unfortunately the master doesn't trust me as his eldest disciple, and only gave me a small bottle of finished medicine without passing on the formula. I'm not good enough to figure out the medicine, and in order to gain a foothold in Southern Xinjiang in the past few years, I've used up almost all the finished medicine."

"Since sister said so, I will report it truthfully." After Honghua finished her lie, Yanyu looked at her expressionlessly, smiled coldly, and turned away again.

"Where are you going, sister?" But Honghua behind her seemed to have no intention of letting Yanyu go today and followed closely.

"You should go and talk about your business. Why are you following me?" Yan Yu said as she walked without looking back.

"Business is not urgent. It's a rare opportunity for me to meet my sister today. Let's have a good chat."

"There is nothing to talk about between us."

"Who do you want to talk to? The young master of the famous Li family in Jiangnan, Li Yunye?"

Xuanyu's hurried steps suddenly stopped. The joints of her hand holding the sword turned white due to the force, and her breathing became gradually unstable due to nervousness and fear.

"It seems that my sister guessed it..." Seeing that her sister did not move, Honghua knew that she had hit the opponent's weak spot. She walked forward with a smug look on her face, but saw a terrible murderous look on that cold face. After a moment of fear in her heart, she frowned and said angrily: "What? You want to kill your own sister for a stinky man?"

"Sister? If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that you are my sister." Yan Yu smiled and looked at her sister calmly. Her cold eyes gradually showed resentment. If it weren't for this sister, she wouldn't have entered the Shadow Gate and suffered torture, and finally put on this ghost mask and lived in the dark.

"It's my sister who is sorry for you." Honghua, who was originally furious, couldn't help feeling guilty when she saw the resentment in Yanyu's eyes. She has always been ruthless and cruel, but she always feels guilty when facing her sister whom she had betrayed.

"How did you know that?" Yan Yu sneered at her sister's apology and asked in a cold voice.

"Of course it was the little girl next to you who told me." Honghua didn't dare to joke anymore and had to answer honestly.

"Hongnu, what did you do to her?" Xuanyu asked nervously with a stern look in her eyes.

"I didn't hurt her, I just wanted her to be obedient. How could I touch your sister?" Honghua couldn't help feeling aggrieved when she saw that her sister misunderstood her again.

"But you bewitched her!" Xuanyu was furious.

"I only used a little bit. It's not a big deal. It just made her unconscious for half an hour."

Huanyu ignored Honghua and turned around and walked quickly towards the dilapidated temple outside the city. She didn't believe her sister and wanted to see with her own eyes whether Hongnu was okay.
