An Ling didn't expect that she would learn such a terrible secret just after she embarked on the path of cultivating immortals.

Is it really okay to tell her about this? Isn't Guo Zichou afraid that she will follow the same path? Does he really trust her character? Or is Guo Zichou himself...

An Ling likes to think a lot, and she is a bit mentally exhausted. Now her heart is very uneasy, so she starts to think about all sorts of things, and speculates about others with divergent thinking, which is really not a good habit.

An Ling felt cold all over. Without spiritual power to protect her body, she was now just a mortal with a stronger physique. She shivered, moved closer to the fire, stretched out her hands to warm it, and said, "Uncle Master, the fire is a little low."

Guo Zichou put his fingers together and lightly tapped the fire, and the flames rose a lot. The bright firelight shone on the two people and one ghost in the cave, reflecting An Ling's gloomy expression.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? So serious?" Guo Zichou said with a smile.

An Ling smiled stiffly and replied, "I just didn't expect that Master Uncle would trust me so much. Aren't you afraid that I might have ulterior motives?"

Guo Zichou was stunned for a moment, then smiled casually: "You are Yu Lang's apprentice, which means you are also my apprentice. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust? The fact that you are recognized by her proves that you are definitely not a treacherous and evil person. Otherwise, this Xiangzhu Sword would never be passed on to you."

"I..." An Ling stammered and lowered her head in shame. Is this really the case... She even doubted her uncle-master for a moment. Facing such an upright person, she was really judging him by her own standards.

"Uncle Master, I'm sorry. I just thought of some rude words. I'm really sorry..." An Ling said sincerely. She didn't know why, maybe it was the damage to her Dantian before, which was a big blow to her, causing her temperament to change a lot recently - even for the worse.

But is this really the case? When killing the sea monster for the first time in the fishing village, before she fell into a coma, An Ling had doubted whether the sea monster attack was intentional by the three immortals of the East China Sea. She is sensitive and suspicious, and always speculates about others. She is completely different from Guo Zichou and Yu Lang in character.

Guo Zichou sighed, and sat down beside the fire. He spoke in a gentle voice, "That's why I don't like dealing with intellectuals like you. It's so tiring to think about so many things every day. Besides, when dealing with people, don't just use your mouth, but your heart." He knocked his fist on his chest and said, "I trust you with my heart, that's enough. Do we have to be as clear as in court when dealing with each other?"

An Ling stared at Guo Zichou in a daze. It was as if a warm current slowly flowed through her cold heart, slowly thawing it. She smiled faintly and nodded, "Yes, this is also the broad mind that I have always lacked. I'm grateful for your advice."

At the same time, she silently added in her heart that Guo Zichou was truly a great hero.

……

After roasting for a while, Guo Zichou clapped his hands, stood up, and said to An Ling: "Okay, we have to start dealing with this ghost thing. Little An Ling, you have too many miscellaneous things, give me a compass."

An Ling looked at him in confusion. Guo Zichou met An Ling's confused eyes, patted his head in annoyance and said, "Oh, it's all my fault. I almost forgot that you are still injured and can't even open the storage bag... Okay, it doesn't matter. Just be direct."

After that, Guo Zichou pulled out a small knife from his boots, tossed his mop-like hair at An Ling, and said, "Bloodline tracing, I learned it from the evil cultivator. This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine!"

"No, it has relatives?" An Ling said in surprise.

"Uh..." Guo Zichou was stunned for a moment, "Relatives... How can there be no relatives? Isn't it the master who refined it from a human being?"

An Ling watched Guo Zichou carefully cut a line on Hong Sha's hand, muttering something, and then the streak of blood seemed to come alive and floated to the northwest.

"Hey, our old Guo is still as good as ever!" Guo Zichou said happily.

An Ling suddenly remembered the "body part tracking technique" she learned from Tang Feng in Qingfeng Temple when she was in Yunwu Mountain. It seemed that the method used by the evil cultivator to find the Wuque old man was similar.

It seems that the so-called good and evil magic actually comes from the same source.

"Northwest... let me see, Qianbei, Chaijiang... should be that side." Guo Zichou said in a low voice.

An Ling looked over the map in her mind. These places were very close to Jiangning, only a few days' journey away, so she said, "Uncle Master, I didn't expect that we would be on the same road."

Guo Zichou asked in confusion, "Same way? Same way what? Aren't you going to register with our sect? Where else are you going?"

An Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Master, my Dantian is gone. Someone told me to go find the headmaster of Shanhai Academy. He might be able to save me, so I'm planning to go to Jiangning."

Guo Zichou sighed, "Why go to that old man when you can find someone else? I tell you, there is no need to go to him. We have a lot of elixirs in our sect, why bother asking outsiders for help?"

An Ling sighed and explained, "In half a month, it will be the headmaster's birthday. I must go to celebrate on behalf of my second master and tell the headmaster about his news. Now that you say the masters are fine, that's even better. The headmaster will definitely be very happy."

Guo Zichou looked at An Ling in shock and asked loudly, "What do you mean by masters? How many masters do you have?"

"Three, three," An Ling replied stutteringly, "The Three Immortals of the East China Sea are a whole group, so it's natural that they accept disciples together."

"What a sin! How could such a good seedling be involved with that group of scholars!" Guo Zichou was heartbroken, as if he saw An Ling embarking on a path of no return.

An Ling didn't know why Guo Zichou hated scholars so much, and didn't dare to ask. She just said awkwardly: "Second Master is a very nice person..."

"Stop! Don't say anymore. I don't want to hear it." Guo Zichou stopped An Ling from speaking. He looked at An Ling sadly and sighed deeply. He sighed so much tonight that he almost made the leaves on the trees fall. Guo Zichou said dimly, "Then you go find the scholar. I will go investigate the Blood Vampire Sect first and then come to Jiangning to find you."

An Ling nodded.

Guo Zichou said again: "Give me some hair, otherwise it will be hard to find it when the time comes. Ha, what a birthday party, it's nothing more than a bunch of people messing around."

An Ling plucked out a few strands of hair and handed them to Guo Zichou. After Guo Zichou put them away carefully, he stood up and prepared to leave with Hongsha.

An Ling didn't expect him to be so anxious. He really just left without stopping.

Guo Zichou wrapped the Red Evil with his clothes and carried it on his shoulders. He then turned to An Ling and said firmly, "Girl, what you said before is very right. What I carry on my shoulders are not only the lives of the dead, but also those innocent ordinary people who may be harmed in the future. If I am a step slower, then more people will be harmed. The only thing I can do for them is to run faster and faster to kill the evil cultivators before they harm people. Only in this way can I protect everything I want to protect."

An Ling watched Guo Zichou's back running quickly in the dark night and smiled softly.
