The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 564 - 323 New Eyeliner
Ning Xiaoxian was not afraid of them. She thanked Chun and Wu, bid them farewell, and turned to leave. Tu Jin and Qi Zai followed behind her, and the controlled He Lao also stepped forward to follow.
Being controlled in life and death was truly unbearable. She couldn’t wait to leave the Gold Storage Tower and breathe the air of freedom. Just as she reached the door, a sudden voice from Chun Ru Hai came from behind: "He Lao, when will your Master Fu return?"
"He Lao" stopped, turned around and respectfully said, "He should be back in two or three days at most." Of course, it was Tu Jin who controlled him to speak.
Chun Ru Hai was taken aback and said, "He travels to and from Central Province, and he can be so fast?"
Ning Xiaoxian and others were suddenly shocked. Master Fu Yunzhang’s patients were actually in Central Province? With the gathering of immortal sects and countless experts in alchemy Dao there, did he really need to run all the way to Xuanji Sect to pretend to gather herbs, and then rush back to treat someone? Unless, that illness was tricky.
The most crucial issue now was, how should they answer Chun Ru Hai?
With guidance from Changtian, "He Lao" replied with a normal expression, "To save time, the leader has already sent people to transfer the patient here, so there is no need to go to Central Province for treatment."
Perhaps this response muddled through, Chun Ru Hai said "Oh," and did not ask further.
After they left, Miss Chun angrily said, "I just saw a beautiful mirror recorded in the inventory of the warehouse. I rushed back to buy it, but she got it first. It really infuriates me!" She stamped her foot and left. Although she was the daughter of the Building Owner of the Gold Storage Tower, if she wanted something from the building, she still had to buy it with Spirit Stones and could only get a small internal discount. That’s the rule of Qianjin Hall.
Senior Brother Chen, who had been nodding and agreeing behind her, also hurriedly followed her out. Those inside the building could still hear her scolding the man beside her, "You said you liked me! Just now, why didn’t you stand up for me, letting that woman confront me directly?"
Senior Brother Chen thought to himself, these human cultivators have much deeper cultivation than I do, can I afford to provoke them? Of course, he naturally comforted her with kind words. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Chun Ru Hai’s eyes flickered, "He Lao is always noisy, why is he so silent today, and did not even greet us when leaving?" He thought for a moment and then said, "You mean, he sold the mirror first and then brought this group of people back to redeem it?"
Wu Liuzhi respectfully said, "Exactly. After coming in, He Lao shouted ’Manager Wu, save me’, and when I looked up at him, he was already jokingly saying it was a joke. But in my heart, I always felt something was off. Afterwards, it was this young lady who spoke, and He Lao remained silent."
Chun Ru Hai frowned and said, "Unless he is controlled by someone, that young lady has used techniques to control his actions. Not surprising, there are countless Divine Power Techniques in this world, and many people possess such abilities. Hmph, this is the Immortal Bandits’ own business. It’s better for us to interfere less." Then he thought again and said, "Why is she so anxious about the mirror? Tell me about that Magic Artifact in detail."

The few people walked out the small gate of the Gold Storage Tower the same way they came, Ning Xiaoxian and her group felt relieved, but He Lao wanted to cry. Having lived for so many years, he truly did not want to die, but it looked like these guys had no intention of letting him and Mei Gu go.
With the lesson learned before, Ning Xiaoxian did not intend to let Tu Jin remove the constraints, so the group silently walked back to He Residence.
"He Lao, oh He Lao, what should I do with you?" Ning Xiaoxian looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile.
He Lao was a clever person, and hearing this, knew there was hope to live, joyously said, "As long as you spare me and Mei Gu’s lives, just say what you want!" He was not usually such a weak person, but as his Life Span was nearing its end, he cherished his life even more, especially since Mei Gu’s unborn child was the continuation of his bloodline. No matter what, he did not hope for his family of three to perish here.
"Good," she raised her eyebrows and threw a blood-red Dagger to the ground, "Take the Heart Oath, be loyal to me, let me command you, and I will spare your lives." This was the best solution she could think of. She was not a bloodthirsty person, especially knowing that Mei Gu was pregnant, she was even less likely to harm them. One must have limits on what to do and what not to do.
He Lao’s several responses also showed his cleverness. If he could be subjugated, he might assist her in the future.
This was also the best outcome He Lao could imagine. He glanced at Mei Gu, no longer hesitated, picked up the Dagger, and fiercely swore a venomous oath, then stabbed it into his own chest. At this point, he was indeed very straightforward, not hesitating at all.
