Chapter 444 - The Argument between the Two of Them

Half a month’s time passed with just a snap of the fingers. There was still no news of the Snow Butterfly Grass. Even Feng Yan Union could not do a thing about it.

At nightfall, there was only a star twinkling with a faint gleam in the vast skies. It was almost hidden by the vast moonlight and it appeared to be so lonely, cold and desolate.

“I have left home since young to follow my master to cultivate. But after Master left, I was always taken care of by Senior Brother. Almost all of the cultivation methods and martial skills had been guided by Senior Brother’s hand. If there was no Senior Brother, I will definitely not be here today. To me, he is actually not only my brother, he is actually my master as well and even my next of kin.” As he looked at the lone star in the sky, a tinge of faint warmth flashed in Ling Yichen’s eyes and there was also a faint sadness to it.

Actually, he did not finish saying what was in his heart. If not for Senior Brother, he might have long lost his chance to stay by Ling Chuxi’s side. If not for his encouragement, he might have long given up.

Ling Chuxi remembered when she had just met him initially. He had wanted to seize the number one in the trials too in order to collect the medicinal herbs to help Fu Chengyu drive out the frost poison. After slowly coming into contact and understanding Ling Yichen and Fu Chengyu, Ling Chuxi also gradually understood why Fu Chengyu had such an important place in Ling Yichen’s heart.

“Rest assured. We will definitely find the Snow Butterfly Grass.” Ling Chuxi said comfortingly.

“Perhaps it will be too late then. Once cultivation has reached a level like his, he can breakthrough any time.” Ling Yichen looked at Fu Chengyu’s small window upstairs and smiled bitterly. He raised his head and said with determination. “I have decided. I want to personally make a trip.”

“We will go together.” Ling Chuxi naturally knew where he was referring to. It was just that in the ice cold polar regions, the skies were cold, the grounds were frozen and there was a vast expanse of land. It was rarely trodden by people and there were even monster beasts lurking around. It was said that only those who had lived in it for generations could go in and out freely. Any outsiders who entered would lose their sense of direction and not be able to find their way out anymore. How could Ling Chuxi let him go there alone?

“No. You guys don’t have to go. I will go alone this time. If anything happens to Senior Brother, you guys can still look after him.” Ling Yichen opposed resolutely.

“If something really happens, what help could we possibly provide?” Ling Chuxi smiled bitterly. If Fu Chengyu had achieved a breakthrough, when the heavenly lightning striking the body had restructured his meridians, at the same time, the poison would also deepen into his meridians. And even her hands would be tied then.

“Anyway, you cannot go.” Ling Yichen said firmly. He would not be willing to watch helplessly as Ling Chuxi got involved in a dangerous situation.

Just as the two of them were arguing with each other, a servant hurriedly ran in and said to Ling Chuxi. “Miss Ling, there is a letter from your family.”

“Oh.” Ling Chuxi accepted the letter and sure enough, she saw the stamp of the Ling family. Her face had a delighted smile as she opened the letter.

“Alright, Yichen. We can stop arguing. Second Elder has just sent a letter saying that he has just returned from buying medicine and he happened to buy a shrub of Snow Butterfly Grass. Once he got back, he heard that we were looking everywhere to buy it at a high price. He is sending someone to bring it over to us.” Ling Chuxi smiled and said to Ling Yichen as she finished reading the letter. This was really sending coals during wintertime and it was so timely. If it were slightly later, they would have already been to the ice cold polar regions. It was unknown if they could find it or not. It was further unknown if they could safely come back after finding it. It was such a great surprise now that this good news from Second Elder had come.

“Really?” Ling Yichen took the letter over in delight. He could finally relax. He had been really worried that Ling Chuxi would insist on going along with him. With Ling Chuxi’s character, he most likely would not have been able to dissuade her.

It looked like things were going on very smoothly. But was it really so?
