Chapter 68: One Body and Two Souls

"This is impossible..."

"Then I'll go to my adoptive father now and tell him some interesting little secrets..."

"You... OK! I can help you, but you can only tell him that you are still alive. When it comes to our plan, you are not allowed to mention a word..."

"OK!"

...

Sitong Town outside the border of Wu State, Su Lin, who had been searching for news in the wilderness for a whole day, had returned to the city and waited for news. He looked haggard and anxious. It had been more than two days since Dong Zijin left Sitong Town and entered the wilderness. Hundreds of Confucian scholars helped to find it. The wilderness of hundreds of miles had been searched, but there was no trace or news from Dong Zijin.

"Sulin, don't worry. Some Confucian scholars may go further and look for them and will come back later. Maybe good news will come in one or two hours?"

Hong Liyu looked at Su Lin at this time and felt uncomfortable, so he comforted him.

"Zi Jin is just a thirteen-year-old girl. She rides her horse alone to find me... How can you not be anxious if you call me?"

Su Lin raised his head and said, but immediately realized that his tone might be heavy, and said to Hong Liyu, "Li Yu, sorry, I'm not going to get angry at you. But now I can't do anything, and I can't find her in this way. I don't know what else I should do?"

Su Lin was a little confused. He had been going well in the days of Tianren Continent. Even when he encountered enemies such as Zhao Shuang, Zhao Zhi, Huang Tong, etc., he could defeat them one by one with his own talents and the help of the "wordless Heavenly Book". He even got the first place in the county exam when he first arrived.

This also encouraged Su Lin's confidence, and even felt that there was nothing that could not be done as long as he did it. But now, Su Lin felt helpless for the first time and felt that his abilities were limited. There were too many unknown factors in this world, and everything was not about him.

"Su Lin, I know and understand your current mood. Let's do it! Wait for me for a long time, and I will use my method to help you find out the whereabouts of Dong Zijin."

Hong Liyu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally made up his mind. After talking to Su Lin, he left Sitong Town and went straight to the Jade Rabbit Demon Clan.

"Xiaoyu, why are you back? Could it be that Grand Secretary Hong can't help you install it into the human race?"

Seeing his daughter Li Yu come back, the demon king Li Luo said in surprise.

"Father, Xiaoyu has successfully obtained the position of Tongsheng and opened up Zhihai. Now she just wants her father to help find a girl named Dong Zijin. She disappeared two days ago in the wilderness outside the border of Wu... "

It turned out that Hong Liyu came back to ask the father of the Demon King to help find Dong Zijin, but as soon as she finished speaking, the Demon King Li Luo was surprised and suspicious: "Li Yu, how could you know this Dong Zijin? She is the destiny Dharma body of the nine-tailed holy fox of the fox clan. A few days ago, the great elder of the fox clan, Tu Shan Kuiying, borrowed the innate osmanthus tree of our Jade Rabbit clan to use the innate energy to activate the innate Bagua to calculate this destiny Dharma body. This is the highest secret of the fox clan. If I hadn't had a good personal relationship with Tu Shan Kuiying, she would never have told me easily."

"What? Then... Father! Hasn't Dong Zijin already been taken over by the nine-tailed Holy Fox?"

Hong Liyu was also shocked when she heard this, and said worriedly, "If Su Lin knew this news, how sad it would be!"

"Well! It should be the day before yesterday! The jasper scepter turned into a congenital osmanthus tree automatically returned, and the Nine-tailed Holy Fox successfully seized the body. Now...if nothing unexpected happens, it should be in Yue Kingdom."

The demon king Li Luo nodded and replied.

But Hong Liyu now knew the result, but she didn't know how to go back and explain to Su Lin.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you? Didn't your father tell you? Never get moved by the human man. Isn't your aunt Jiang Nu's lesson enough?" Li Luo saw something wrong with Hong Liyu, sighed and said.

"Father, Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu knows, he must... he will not."

When Hong Liyu said this, her heart felt a little uneasy. She said goodbye to the demon king Li Luo. Hong Liyu was extremely entangled on the way back to Sitong Town. She was wondering whether she should tell Su Lin the truth?

It was dark again, and there were only a few lights left in Sitong Town. Almost all the Confucian scholars who went out to investigate Dong Zijin's whereabouts today came back. Su Lin had been guarding the city gate. As long as one person came back, he would come forward anxiously and ask: "Have you found Zijin?"

However, the questioning with hope over and over again was exchanged for hope again and again. Until the end, even Su Lin himself was desperate.

When the only few lights left in the city were also gone, the hustle and bustle of Sitong Town is now lonely and deserted. The deserted wilderness outside the city reveals an indescribable bitter loneliness. Su Lin saw it from afar, a white horse galloped back in the dark night, and the handsome heroic figure on the horse was Hong Liyu back.

"Li Yu, is there any news about Zi Jin?"

There was no hope in his heart. Su Lin felt ashamed and just asked in a habitual manner.

Unexpectedly, Hong Liyu patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Yes! Su Lin, you don't have to worry about Dong Zijin. According to some sources outside the pass, someone saw with his own eyes that your fiancée Dong Zijin entered Yue Kingdom and everything was fine."

"Zi Jin went to Yue Kingdom? How is that possible? Here we are three or four hundred miles away from the border of Yue Kingdom. There must be many monsters and dangers along the way. Zi Jin... How could Zi Jin go through the wilderness and go to Yue Kingdom by himself?"

Su Lin's eyes lit up at first, and he was excited to wait for Hong Liyu's answer, but after hearing what Hong Liyu said, he sighed again, "Liyu, you also know that Yue Kingdom is my old enemy of Wu Kingdom. Even if I know that Zijin is in Yue Kingdom, it is impossible for me to chase me for the time being. I know that you don't want to see me depressed, so I made up this lie to comfort me. Right?"

"No. Su Lin, it's true. Dong Zijin is now in Yue Kingdom, and there will definitely be no danger. If you have achieved success in your literary position in the future, you may not have to sneak into Yue Kingdom to find her." Hong Liyu said confidently.

In fact, Su Lin was right. Hong Liyu was indeed afraid that he would be depressed, so he was making up lies to comfort him. However, Hong Liyu was right. Dong Zijin was indeed in Yue Kingdom, but she believed that Dong Zijin had been completely taken over by the Nine-tailed Holy Fox.

"No matter what, thank you. Li Yu, although I often joke that you are like a woman, after these days of getting along and sharing hardships, there is no doubt that you are my best friend in the world, brother! Thank you!"

Su Lin did not defend Hong Liyu anymore, but hugged Hong Liyu, truly treating her as his brother, and sincerely thanking her.

However, Su Lin's embrace without any maliciousness made Hong Liyu's heart beat faster, his face blushed and shy, and the demon spirit jade on his chest became hot and was about to lose its effect of transformation.

"I...Su Lin! I'm tired, I'll go back to the inn first..." Hong Liyu quickly pushed Su Lin away, then ran back to the inn. As soon as he closed the door, two cute rabbit ears suddenly appeared.

Su Lin looked at Hong Liyu's back as he left, and felt a little incredible. Her feelings for Hong Liyu were really strange. Sometimes she felt like a woman, but sometimes she felt like a brother. Just as Su Lin was about to go back to the inn, suddenly the sound of horse hooves sounded from afar, and he came from behind again.

"Su Case Head!Su Case Head...I...I have news...Quick! This is a letter, the handwritten letter from Dong Zijin you are looking for..."
