The inner valley is less than a million li away from the Blood-red Ridge. Qin Yu's current speed is nearly 10 times faster than in the past so he arrives at the inner valley in just one day. Even those Purple Demon aquatic dragons in the Nine Spirits Hall cannot imagine such a speed.
Late stage Liu Xing's ability to compete with late stage Dongxu Xiuxianists is based on speed and the ability to condense attacks. In other words, late stage Liu Xing's speed is at least faster than late stage Dongxu Xiuxianists. From this, one can imagine how fast Qin Yu is.
Qin Yu flies to the entrance of the inner valley. At first glance, he can see that there is a continuous mountain range here. Outsiders simply cannot see that there is an inner valley hidden here.
"Big brother Liu Xing, no, big brother Qin Yu."
A purple-clothed girl who looks to be in her teens comes out from among the underwater plants. As soon as she sees Qin Yu, she shouts excitedly. Qin Yu turns his head and looks. He cannot help laughing: "Little Yan Zi, why did you come out of the valley?"
"The valley is stuffy, so I went out for a stroll." Yan Zi says while pouting her small mouth. The purple-colored fish scale between her eyebrows is shining. Her long purple hair reaches her hips and flutters wantonly.
Yan Zi's eyes suddenly brighten. She says: "Big brother Qin Yu, let's go. Come with me to the inner valley. If sister Li Er knows that you have come back, she will be very happy. Hurry up, don't be so slow." After saying this, Yan Zi pulls Qin Yu's hand and rushes directly into the mountain wall.
Qin Yu and Yan Zi's figures disappear into the mountain wall.
After entering the inner valley, Qin Yu looks at the familiar plants and scenery. His eyes cannot help but brighten. In the past, he also lived in this inner valley for 3 whole years. After returning to the inner valley, Qin Yu feels as if he has escaped from the bloodshed outside the valley and regained his peace of mind.
"Weng ~ ~"
Along with the sound of zither strings, the familiar zither music rises again. Standing outside the bamboo house, Qin Yu cannot help but close his eyes and listen quietly. A faint smile appears on the corners of his mouth. Time passed quickly with the sound of the zither.
The music stopped, and Qin Yu opened his eyes.
Only now does Qin Yu notice that Yan Zi has already entered the bamboo hut. At this moment, various Xiuyaoists gather around him. These Xiuyaoists are all from the ravine so they are very familiar with Qin Yu so they all greet him.
"Liu Xing. Oh, right, it's Big Brother Qin Yu." The fatty with the turtle shell on his back ran over excitedly and shouted.
As soon as he sees them, Qin Yu says smilingly: "Oh, it's Fatty, Skinny and White Armor. Faye hasn't been here recently so nobody wants to beat you. Have you been living a comfortable life?" Qin Yu says smilingly to the Xiuyaoists in front of him.
The fatty with the turtle shell on his back shook his head and said proudly, "Of course it's comfortable. I can sleep for three days and three nights without anyone disturbing me. When I'm free, I play Go with Skinny and the others. The Go that Uncle Lan taught me is really interesting. "
"It's just that …" The fatty frowned. "Sometimes I miss Boss Hou a lot."
White Armor, who is holding 2 daggers, also looks pensive. It seems he also misses Hou Fei a bit.
"You're really asking for a spanking." Qin Yu says jokingly. "All right, you guys keep playing. I still have something to discuss with Uncle Lan." Qin Yu says goodbye to them then directly enters the bamboo hut.
After entering the bamboo hut, Qin Yu immediately sees Uncle Lan, who is quietly sipping tea in the courtyard.
"Qin Yu, you've come." Uncle Lan slightly raises his head and says smilingly.
Qin Yu nods then walks up to Uncle Lan. Just like in the bamboo hut, Qin Yu sits down. Uncle Lan flips his hand and a teacup appears. He then pours a cup of tea for Qin Yu. Qin Yu deeply smells the fragrance of the tea.
"Uncle Lan, this is your Hundred Leaf Orchid Tea, right?" Qin Yu had drunk this Hundred Leaf Orchid Tea several times in the past.
"It seems like you still remember." Uncle Lan says with a smile. "Okay, Qin Yu, tell me, why are you looking for Uncle Lan? Don't tell me you're just looking for Uncle Lan to drink tea. It's possible that you're here to see Li Er. "Uncle Lan jokes.
At the mention of Li Er, Qin Yu turns his head to look. He can't help but focus his energy on his ears. Qin Yu can hear the conversation between Miss Li'er and Yan Zi.
"Yan Zi, what kind of flower is this? Where did it come from? It's so beautiful. Why haven't I seen it before?" Miss Li'er's voice sounds.
"Hehe, there's an isolated island not far from the sea. I went up to pick it. There are many flowers there. However, this flower is a land plant and not suitable to grow in the sea. I hid it in my storage bracelet before bringing it to the bottom of the sea. "
"Kid, what are you listening to?" Uncle Lan's voice suddenly sounds in Qin Yu's ears.
"Ah." Qin Yu awakens and sees Uncle Lan with a faint smile, "This, ah, right, Uncle Lan, didn't you just ask me why I came back? I came back this time because I need your help with a very important matter. "
Uncle Lan snappily says: "Change the subject."
Qin Yu can only pretend to be stupid and laugh dryly.
"I can guess why you're looking for me. Did you get into trouble outside? The enemy is too strong. You don't have the confidence to deal with them, so you want Uncle Lan's help, right? " Uncle Lan looks at Qin Yu and says with a smile.
Qin Yu suddenly feels that at this moment, Uncle Lan's gaze seems to penetrate his heart.
"Expert, he really is an expert." Qin Yu exclaims in his heart.
Qin Yu doesn't lie and says honestly: "I caused some trouble. I killed a Purple Demon aquatic dragon. But it's not dangerous now. The enemy still doesn't know I'm the murderer. But just in case. You also know Faye's temper. When the time comes for a real fight, he won't stop. You don't want to see me and Faye being beaten to death by the enemy, do you? "
"You killed a Purple Demon aquatic dragon? No, that's not your misfortune. " Uncle Lan stares at Qin Yu with his wise eyes. "Your misfortune is that you took that jade sword. But it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse."
Qin Yu is dumbfounded.
"Uncle Lan, you …"
Qin Yu is dumbfounded. Could it be that Uncle Lan can predict the future? He only told Xiao Hei and Hou Fei that he got the jade sword. And Xiao Hei and Hou Fei didn't tell Uncle Lan. How did Uncle Lan know? This is really too terrifying.
"You want to fool me with those thoughts of yours? That jade sword is a bit troublesome, but you are qualified to take it. "Uncle Lan says after thinking for a moment.
Qin Yu listens carefully.
The more he interacts with Uncle Lan, the more Qin Yu finds that Uncle Lan is unfathomable. At the same time, Qin Yu also feels from the bottom of his heart that Uncle Lan really treats him very well. He also believes that everything Uncle Lan says and does is good for him.
"Mr. Liu Xing, oh, Mr. Qin Yu, you've come back?" Miss Li 'er, dressed in cyan and with her long hair tied up with a hair band, comes out of the room. Yan Zi is also by her side. Miss Li' er looks very happy to see Qin Yu.
After being separated for so long, Qin Yu's eyes brighten when he sees Miss Li 'er again. He immediately says: "Miss Li' er, I've come back this time to discuss some matters with Uncle Lan."
Uncle Lan looks at Qin Yu's expression at this moment. His expression changes several times, and his eyes turn slightly red. Miss Li 'er also notices the changes in Uncle Lan's expression at this moment. Immediately, the calm and natural Miss Li' er panics. She hurriedly says: "Uncle Lan, what's wrong with you?"
Outsiders don't know about Uncle Lan's matters, but Li Er does.
Qin Yu also looks at Uncle Lan in astonishment. During the three years he was in this bamboo house, once when Qin Yu and Uncle Lan were discussing about him, Uncle Lan also had such an expression. In these three years, Qin Yu has only seen it once.
"Qin Yu, I'll give you a word of advice." Uncle Lan calms down again and looks at Qin Yu calmly.
Qin Yu looks at Uncle Lan.
Uncle Lan looks at Qin Yu and says resolutely: "No matter what happens in the future, you have to stay true to your heart. In order to survive in this world, there are many times when you have to endure silently. But sometimes, if you endure too much, something might happen that you will regret for the rest of your life. Remember … sometimes, even if you die, you have to stay true to your heart. "
"Uncle Lan." Miss Li 'er looks at Uncle Lan and cries out in alarm.
Uncle Lan waves his hand and says: "Li Er, accompany Qin Yu and have a chat. Don't worry about me." After saying this, Uncle Lan directly stretches out his hand. A stone immediately floats into Uncle Lan's hand. At the same time, rays of purple, blue, and green light start to shine from the stone.
In just an instant, the stone turns into a transmission talisman.
"Qin Yu, I know why you have come to find me. If you are in danger, use your spiritual sense to transmit the message directly to this transmission talisman. I will naturally know. "Uncle Lan tosses the transmission talisman that he refined in an instant to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu is very puzzled.
If they wanted to communicate, wouldn't it be fine for him to use the transmission talisman to send it to Uncle Lan's transmission talisman? Why did Uncle Lan specially give him a transmission talisman and even let him use his spiritual sense to transmit it? Naturally, Uncle Lan understands why.
After receiving the transmission talisman, Qin Yu feels that this transmission talisman is special. It is different from the objects in the past. This transmission talisman doesn't have any aura of energy.
"Uncle Lan." When Qin Yu raises his head, he discovers that Uncle Lan has already left the courtyard and returned to his room.
Miss Li 'er looks solemnly at Qin Yu and says: "Since Uncle Lan has given this to you, you must be careful. Qin Yu, remember Uncle Lan's advice. Don't forget it. "After saying this, Miss Li 'er lets out a sigh. It is unknown what she is thinking.
Qin Yu is very puzzled in his heart.
But he still firmly engraved that advice in the bottom of his heart.
"Miss Li 'er, you actually called me Qin Yu just now. That's really rare. In the past, it seems that you always called me Mr. Liu Xing or Mr. Qin Yu." Qin Yu says with a smile.
Li Er shakes her head and says with a smile: "Qin Yu, in fact, I feel that there is always a barrier between me and any Xiuzhenist. It is as if we are not people of the same world. So, for the most part, I keep a respectful distance from them. Okay, Qin Yu, in the future, don't call me Miss Li 'er. Just call me Li Er. "
Qin Yu's heart is shaken.
Didn't Li 'er's words mean that there wasn't any estrangement between them?
"Li Er, are you satisfied now?" Qin Yu does not reveal what he is thinking at all.
Miss Li 'er gives a smile then looks at Uncle Lan's room: "Qin Yu, do you know? In my clan, Uncle Lan is absolutely a genius. His power has already reached … How can I talk to you about this? Right, are you going to leave right away after talking with Uncle Lan? "
"No hurry. I'm going to stay here for several months." Qin Yu has calculated clearly that even if Di Tong dies and the people of the Nine Spirits Hall come here, given the speed of Dongxu stage experts, it will probably take them a year to reach the Red Blood Cave.
Miss Li 'er is slightly delighted.
"Qin Yu, I'm going back first. Let's talk later."
Qin Yu nods and watches Miss Li 'er go back to her room with a smile. Qin Yu always feels that Uncle Lan's change just now has caused Li Er's attitude towards him to change as well.
"Li Er and Uncle Lan always talk about clans. What kind of clan is that?" Qin Yu ponders for a long time in his mind without coming up with an answer. However, at the moment Qin Yu is in a very good mood because he feels that his relationship with Miss Li 'er seems to have become a bit closer.

There are 8 caves under the command of the Nine Spirits Hall. Among them, the one next to the Red Blood Cave is the Great Shell Cave.
The cave master of the Great Shell Cave is named Fu Hao.
At the moment, Fu Hao is lying on a chair carved from a huge block of smooth jade with a bulging belly. 2 ladies-in-waiting are massaging his shoulders and another 2 are massaging his legs. 2 ladies-in-waiting are standing on either side of him and feeding him some rare fruits.
Among the 8 caves, Fu Hao is the greediest and the fattest one. However, he is not very powerful and is simply no match for Chahón. He is only at the late stage of Yuanying but his cave-master throne is as stable as Mount Tai.
"Alright, all of you can leave."
Fu Hao says in a shrill voice that sounds like that of a eunuch. The 6 ladies-in-waiting immediately bow then leave Fu Hao's residence one by one. Fu Hao himself strokes his white and tender chin and starts to ponder with a deep frown.
Although he is fat, his skin is extremely white and tender and his eyes are as lively as a baby's.
"Based on the information from both sides, 8th Majesty should really be dead. Now 2nd Majesty, 6th Majesty and 7th Majesty have joined hands and rushed to the Red Blood Cave. Then 8th Majesty's death should have something to do with the Red Blood Cave. Given 8th Majesty's status, why would he go to the Red Blood Cave, which is closest to the Qian Long continent? "
Fu Hao ponders for a while.
"Could there be some kind of precious treasure?" No matter how smart Fu Hao is, he simply does not know about the existence of the 9 Swords so naturally he cannot think of this.
Suddenly —
"Fu Hao." A red light flashes and a person's silhouette appears in front of Fu Hao.
The newcomer is thin but as straight as a pole. He is wearing a blood-red robe and has an ice-cold expression on his face. Looking at the shape of his face, even if he is smiling, he still gives people a feeling of coldness.
As soon as Fu Hao sees this person, his eyes brighten and his face becomes full of joy. He bows and says: "Greetings, Lord Teng. May I know why you have come to see me? As long as I know, I'll definitely tell you everything. "Fu Hao smiles wholeheartedly. Together with his white and tender chubby face, he looks really cute.
"The 3 majesties of the Nine Spirits Hall should have sent you a message. Am I right?" This Lord Teng says smilingly.
His face is smiling but his eyes are as cold as the stars.
