A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 205 Promoted to Left Guard

"Yueyu greets the Sect Master."

On the night when Xuanyu returned to Chaoyun City from southern Xinjiang, the leader of the Shadow Sect appeared quietly in the broken courtyard. Xuanyu was not too surprised. After all, the leader was eager to find the secret medicine, so he would naturally send people to keep an eye on Chaoyun City at all times.

"Get up." The leader of the Shadow Clan was still dressed in solemn dark red, with a black and white mask on his face, but he did not open the red fan he was playing with in his hand in the cold winter day. He waved at Xuan Yu who was kneeling at his feet, and said softly.

"Master, this is the secret medicine Gu Xin given by the Poisonous Insect Valley." Yan Yu stood up and then presented the black porcelain medicine bottle in her hand to the master of Yingmen with both hands.

"Oh? The Poisonous Insect Valley gave you the secret medicine so easily?" The leader of the Shadow Clan did not take the medicine bottle immediately, but looked at Yan Yu vigilantly, with suspicion in his heart.

The secret medicine Gu Xin that the Lord in Charge went to Southern Xinjiang in person but failed to obtain, was given to her so easily by the Poisonous Insect Valley?

"Of course it's because the Poison Insect Valley owes the Shadow Sect, and they don't want to offend the Shadow Sect, so they took the secret medicine Gu Xin as a way of expressing their apology." Being suspected by the Sect Master, Xuan Yu was frightened, but she still replied calmly.

"What do you mean?" The leader of the Shadow Clan showed surprise in his eyes and continued to ask.

"Yue Yu has personally verified with the Poison Insect Valley that three disciples of the Poison Insect Valley did steal some poisons and defected from the valley half a year ago, including the red scorpion poison. The Poison Insect Valley has been searching for these three people but has not found any results so far. I never thought that these three people would poison and kill the left protector of our Shadow Sect. The Valley Master of the Poison Insect Valley felt guilty. Although the three people had defected, they were from the Poison Insect Valley after all and were killed with the Poison Insect Valley's unique red scorpion poison. The Shadow Sect and the Poison Insect Valley have always kept their distance from each other. The Valley Master of the Poison Insect Valley did not want to have a grudge with the Shadow Sect because of these three traitors, so he generously gave them a bottle of secret medicine Gu Heart."

Of course, Huan Yu was unable to answer truthfully that the secret medicine Gu Xin in her hand was given by her sister. Now the Poisonous Insect Valley is also under the control of her sister. This reason was not made up by her on the spur of the moment, but she had informed her sister long ago. Therefore, even if the leader of the Shadow Clan sent people to southern Xinjiang to confirm it, there would be no flaws.

"No wonder even the Lord Chief has noticed your abilities. Good, good. It is rare to find a woman in this world who is both beautiful and intelligent." Listening to Huanyu's story, the doubts in the eyes of the Shadow Sect's leader gradually faded. Finally, he smiled with relief, took the medicine bottle from Huanyu's hand, and praised her generously.

"Master, you are too kind. I have only done my duty. However, we have not yet found the murderer who poisoned Zuo Hu. Please punish me." However, Huanyu pretended to be terrified and sad, and knelt at the feet of the Master of Yingmen again to blame herself.

"How can you find someone who couldn't even be found in the Poison Insect Valley?" The Shadow Sect leader smiled and helped Yan Yu up, and continued to comfort her in a young and feminine voice: "The murderer has his own shadow warriors from all over the world to find him. It's a waste of your ability to use it here."

"Master, this token..." After the master said this, Yan Yu heaved a sigh of relief and handed over the left guard token that she had borrowed earlier. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, the master of the Shadow Sect stopped her:

"From today on, you are the new Left Protector of the Southern Shadow Sect. This token naturally belongs to you. I hope you will continue to perform your duties diligently and be loyal to the Shadow Sect in the future."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Master. Xuanyu will definitely live up to your expectations." Although it was expected, Xuanyu's face still showed joy.

"No need to thank me, you got it with your own ability." The Shadow Sect leader was also very happy after getting the secret medicine Gu Heart. He patted Yan Yu's shoulder twice with the red fan in his hand, and then asked curiously, "I heard that the Poison Insect Valley is still hunting someone recently. This person is the Poison Insect Valley's eldest disciple, your sister, Hong Hua."

"Well, I was nearly killed by the people from the Poisonous Insect Valley because I looked like my sister. Fortunately, the sect leader had the foresight to lend me the token, so I escaped and successfully met the owner of the Poisonous Insect Valley." Yan Yu replied calmly. Her sister had a falling out with the owner of the Poisonous Insect Valley several years ago, but the owner of the Poisonous Insect Valley was always afraid of her eldest disciple's medicine-making skills, so he did not openly break up with her. This is why the outside world has always believed that Hong Hua is still the eldest disciple of the Poisonous Insect Valley.

"Why is the Poison Insect Valley hunting down your sister? Did she defect as well?"

"I don't know the details, but I heard the head of the Poison Insect Valley scold my sister for betraying her master and ancestors, and her crimes are extremely heinous."

"Humph, this Poison Insect Valley has been betrayed by disciples one after another, I guess it's not a place for people to stay." After hearing what Yan Yu said, the leader of the Shadow Sect sneered and asked, "Didn't you see your sister in Southern Xinjiang?"

"She is being hunted by the Poison Insect Valley and her whereabouts are still unknown. Don't say that I can't find her. Even if I can find her, I am now a member of the Shadow Clan. If I contact her, I am afraid that I will offend the Poison Insect Valley."

"Well, you've thought it through." The Shadow Clan leader nodded with satisfaction, then turned and walked out.

Xuanyu sent him out of the hospital. After the leader of the Shadow Clan left, she looked at the Left Protector Token in her hand with joy and smiled. She finally took this position.

"Congratulations, young lady, on your promotion to left protector." The red slave behind her bowed slightly and smiled at Yan Yu.

"From now on, more people will be watching us, and we have to be extremely careful with every step." Hong Nu's voice woke Yan Yu up from her joy. She couldn't let Hong Nu, who was so weak as to not even tie a chicken, continue to follow her.

"Miss, what should we do next? Although the leader didn't say it directly just now, now that you are back, you can't stop caring about the mission of the famous Li in Jiangnan." Hong Nu naturally didn't know what Yan Yu was thinking at the moment, but just sighed with a sad face.

Huanyu stood in the snow in the yard in silence. Her sister had advised her about this matter as well. The missions of the Shadow Clan were always to the death. Jiangnan Mingli would definitely not be able to escape from the Shadow Clan's target. Even if she sacrificed her life, she might not be able to protect Jiangnan Mingli.

The horror of the Shadow Clan was clear to Xuanyu, who had been there for five years. She did not expect to save the entire Jiangnan clan by herself. She could ignore the life and death of the Jiangnan clan, but she had to protect Li Yunye, no matter what.

Inside the gatehouse of the Shadow Sect, the sect master, who was dressed in dark red and had a black and white mask on his face, rang the bell hanging under the study window. Soon, a shadow warrior in red jumped in from the window:

"Master!"

"Go find someone tough enough to try the medicine and see if he will succumb to you after taking it. Remember, this medicine can be taken in three doses. You need to observe for a few more days to see when the effect of the medicine wears off." The leader of the Shadow Clan handed a bean-sized red pill to the red-clothed Shadow Man.

"Yes." The red-clothed shadowman took the medicine and disappeared out the window.

"If the secret medicine can really control people's souls, then my years of hiding here will be worth it." The leader of the Shadow Sect muttered to himself as he looked at the black porcelain medicine bottle in his hand. The pair of eyes under the black and white mask gradually turned blood red, revealing his murderous aura.
