The system is unreliable, the host can only save herself

In just a moment, a thumb-sized, ice-blue thing that looked a bit like a small beetle crawled out from the palm of his hand.

Gu Lili widened her eyes in surprise!

When the little ice-blue beetle had completely emerged, its body was covered with Yu Fengkai's blood.

The moment it came out, its body shook, and the blood was immediately absorbed completely, leaving no trace of blood on its body.

After he came out, he crawled along Yu Fengkai's palm, all the way to his shoulder, then onto his cheek, and finally stopped at the tip of his ear.

Gu Lili looked at the scene happening in front of her in a daze, thinking,

"Has this person been stimulated to the point of being a bit stupid? This little thing is not simple at first glance, and they are not familiar with it, so how can they take it out to show it to an outsider like her?"

Gu Lili immediately became alert, but Yu Fengkai seemed not to notice her alertness. He looked at Gu Lili with a melancholy look and opened his lips slightly.

As Yu Fengkai continued to narrate, Gu Lili finally understood his background, which was similar to what she had guessed.

This person was originally a descendant of a large family, but he left the family as early as his father's generation. Later, his father's development was actually better than that of his own family.

After his father passed away, he, who was weak in cultivation, was subjected to endless demands from his own family and was exploited the whole time. It was not until he was promoted to the Jindan stage that he began to resist.

His family had long been accustomed to asking for things, and regarded the things his father left him as theirs. How could they allow him to take those things back after he became powerful? That's why they kept suppressing him.

Fortunately, before his father passed away, he entrusted part of his wealth and a mysterious treasure to a high-level monk who owed his father a favor, and agreed to return it to him after he reached the stage of Dan.

Just a while ago, after he formed his elixir, the high-level cultivator found him and gave him the things his father had left for him. After that, the high-level cultivator began to go into seclusion.

Unexpectedly, the news that Yu Fengkai's father left him a mysterious treasure and a huge fortune spread within the family.

So, the elders of the family tricked him back by saying they wanted to offer sacrifice to his father and forced him to hand over the proceeds.

When he refused, they destroyed his cultivation, shattered his Dantian, and cut the tendons in his hands and feet to prevent him from escaping.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a mysterious treasure left by his father recognized his master and helped him escape.

Relying on the treasure, he changed his face and fled desperately. On the way, he used up all the magic weapons his father had stored in the treasure space. Just when he was dying, he bumped into Gu Lili.

Gu Lili knew everything that happened afterwards. After listening to him finish talking without any emotion, she asked,

"This is your business. Why are you telling me this? I have to make it clear in advance that I don't have the ability to help you get revenge or anything like that."

Even when talking about being backstabbed by his family, Yu Fengkai could remain calm, but when he saw the female cultivator in front of him trying to distance herself from the matter, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He laughed at himself. Compared to those poisonous snakes in the family who had been hiding in the dark and sucking blood, they kept saying things like they were doing it for the sake of family justice, but behind the scenes they were doing things that were dirtier than rats.

Gu Lili's blatant defense and rejection made him feel very upright.

Yu Fengkai just laughed at himself a few times and then stopped. He looked at Gu Lili and said:

"Don't worry, I have no hostility towards you. Since you saved me, I must tell you my origins. You have the right to know."

Gu Lili: ...Actually, I don’t care.

She glanced at the little thing on Yu Fengkai's ear and asked:

"Is it the little fellow who sent me a message before?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Fengkai took it off the tip of his ear, put it in Gu Lili's hand and said:

"This is the spirit of the treasure my father left me. It's called Lan Ling. It was seriously injured while trying to save me. But you can see my current state. It's almost impossible for me to fully recover on my own."

At this point, Gu Lili also understood, so she asked him directly:

"How can I help you? And what will I get in return?"

"I need Fellow Daoist Gu to take me to a place where there are space crystals that you can take as you like."

"Space Crystal, as far as I know, is it the Space Crystal that, after absorbing it, one has the chance to gain space ability?"

"Exactly!"

"make a deal!"

"However, you still need to swear a vow to the inner demon, promising not to spread this matter to others."

"No problem at all."

Gu Lili thought of another question, "How far is the place we are going to, and how long will it take to go back and forth?"

"About half a year."

Gu Lili thought for a moment and said, "Give me some time to arrange for my two friends. We will set off at this time tomorrow."

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please do as you please."

"Well, my name is Gu Lili. You should take a rest. I won't disturb you." After saying that, Gu Lili left the magic circle.

He walked out of the room and knocked on the door of the next room. The door opened and it was Gu Yi. "Master, you are here. Come in and talk."

"Yeah," Gu Lili nodded and walked in.

"Is Zhao Xuanyi still practicing?"

"Yes, master, he has not come out since he arrived at the inn yesterday."

"We need to live in Wanrong City for half a year. Do you know where there are some good courtyards for rent?"

"Master, what kind are you looking for?"

"A safer place with good spiritual energy, preferably one that is secluded, and you don't have to worry about the rent."

"Okay, I'll go ask right away," Gu Yi said, and then he nodded and bowed to Gu Lili again before leaving.

Gu Lili didn't leave either, but waited in his room, while she told Mu Qingyan what happened today in her mind.

Mu Qingyan didn't say anything. "That useless guy can't do you any harm. Besides, I'm here!"

If what he said was true, it would be a big profit.

Gu Yi came back very quickly, running back in about a cup of tea.

"Master, the shopkeeper said that there is an independent courtyard for rent behind their inn. It is not only safe, but also has a medium-grade spirit gathering array set up in the courtyard. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Gu Lili didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. "Let's go and take a look now."

So, Gu Yi took Gu Lili to the shopkeeper again.

When the shopkeeper saw that Gu Lili did not bargain after hearing the rent, he knew that she was probably someone with a lot of money.

He couldn't see through the other party's cultivation, but the servant who followed him was at the middle stage of the Jindan realm, so he didn't dare to neglect them and personally took the two of them to the yard behind the inn.

After seeing it, Gu Lili was very satisfied. She paid half a year's rent in spirit stones and moved in that day and lived in one of the rooms.

He told Gu Yi to wait until Zhao Xuanyi's retreat was over and then move in together.

After making the arrangements, he told Gu Yi that he would be in seclusion for half a year and not to be disturbed.

He returned to the house and set up a new protective formation inside, then took off the concealment cloak on Yu Fengkai.

He said to Yu Fengkai, whose face was still gloomy:

"I have arranged everything here. When do we leave?"

"Anytime," Yu Fengkai said, and took the blue spirit off the tip of his ear with his hand. He gently touched its body with his fingers. The little guy immediately understood and flew out of his hand with a "whoosh".

I saw the blue spirit flying into the air, and a tiny blue light needle spit out from its hollow body. As soon as the light needle appeared, it immediately stabbed towards the southwest wall of the room.

The light needle entered the wall, and a small path immediately appeared on the wall. The light needle retreated back into Lan Ling's body, and Lan Ling floated at the entrance of the path, motionless, as if waiting for them.
