Li Yue noticed Qianyu's discomfort and asked, "What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

Qianyu mustered up her courage and said, "I want to ask... Ah Chu..."

She always felt it was strange. Logically, the two sisters should call Ah Chu "sister-in-law", but the elder sister hated Ah Chu so much, and the brother felt uncomfortable being caught in the middle, so she thought that she would have to ask for clarification sooner or later.

This time, when Li Yue heard the word "Achu", she did not immediately get angry, but sighed, "It's a pity that my brother is fascinated by Achu. It's useless to say anything. This proves that she is definitely not an ordinary person."

Qianyu asked doubtfully, "Just because of what that witch doctor said?"

Xi Ruo, who was standing next to her, was moved when she heard the words "witch doctor and ghost woman", but she knew that witch doctors and ghost women were considered taboos in the Jiuli tribe, and she didn't know whether she should tell them about her apprenticeship.

Li Yue added: "The witch doctor ghost woman is a master who has been passed down from the ancestral era. Although there are various rumors that she is evil, I trust her very much."

Qianyu was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Li Yue recalled: "In fact, I knew her when I was very young, and you have also seen her."

"Me?" Qianyu asked in surprise, "Why don't I have any impression of it at all?"

Li Yue continued, "You were only two or three years old at that time, so of course you can't remember. In fact, I was only ten years old, and we were still children. One time, I took you out to play, and we ran into a group of wild wolves. Their eyes flashed with green light, and they were all very hungry. My martial arts skills were very poor at the time, and I was covered in blood after fighting off one. If it weren't for the witch doctor and the ghost woman, both of us would have been dead long ago."

Qianyu and Xiruo both broke out in cold sweats after hearing this.

Qianyu instinctively checked her sister's injuries and said, "It turns out we went through such dangers when we were kids!"

Li Yue nodded. "The land of Nanman is full of miracles and charms, but also full of unknowns and dangers. Since then, I have never dared to take you out to travel again. At that time, the witch doctor Ghost Po saved us and treated and bandaged my wounds. Later, she asked me where I was from and whether I had learned martial arts since childhood. I answered truthfully, and she took my pulse and finally asked me if I wanted to become her disciple."

Xi Ruo naturally knew that one of the most important missions of the witch doctor ghost was to pass on the legacy, which was why she had started looking for a successor more than ten years ago. But for some reason Li Yue did not become her disciple.

Qianyu asked: "Then do you agree?"

Li Yue shook her head. "I have heard all kinds of horror stories about witch doctors since I was a child. Although it is different from what I saw with my own eyes, how can I dare to agree to a little girl with you?"

Qianyu thought about it and it made sense. Although the witch doctor saved herself and her sister, after all, one can never judge a person by his appearance. She had to be extremely cautious about such an important matter as becoming their apprentice.

Li Yue continued, "But the ghost grandma didn't make things difficult for us. She said she would often be near the Demon King Gorge. If I figured it out, I could go there to find her."

Qianyu asked, "Did you go there later?"

Li Yue nodded. "Besides the matter of Ah Chu, I went there once before, two years after you left. One day I missed you so much that I couldn't sleep for a few days, so I went to find her to ask about your whereabouts. But she is not a prophet after all, so she doesn't know your situation. Of course, I still didn't take her as my master."

Qianyu held Li Yue's hand and said, "It's hard for you, sister."

Li Yue smiled and shook her head.

Qianyu added: "It seems that this witch doctor is not as the rumors say. At least she is kind to you and has helped you many times."

Li Yue was not too happy, "Not really. Witch doctors have their own traditions and rules. In fact, the last time I went to see her, it wasn't that smooth."

Qianyu was a little curious, "Are you talking about Ah Chu?"

Li Yue looked at the Soul-Breaking Stone House. She didn't know why, but ever since she learned that she had become the target of Wan Yao's assassination, she always felt heavy in her heart. Especially after entering this house, she felt an indescribable fear and anxiety.

She looked at her sister and thought for a while. "Qianyu, to be honest, I have been feeling something is wrong these past two days. I am so scared. I am scared that I will be separated from you again."

Qianyu asked nervously, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Is something going to happen?"

"I don't know," Li Yue shook her head, "I just feel depressed."

Seeing her sister's concerned eyes, Li Yue took a few deep breaths and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you! Last time when I went to see the witch, I took out my brother's hair and blood and asked her to help me find out the reason. She didn't refuse me, but she had a harsh condition."

Seeing her solemn expression, Qianyu felt that the situation was serious and asked quickly, "What...what conditions?"

Li Yue was silent for a while. "Many of the witch's witchcrafts require blood as a medium. She said that performing this witchcraft is extremely laborious and requires... requires my heart's blood as a guide..."

"what!"

Qianyu was shocked and clenched his hands unconsciously.

Xiruo didn't have much experience, and said, "Sister Yue, what is heart blood? Is it... the blood here?" and pointed to her heart.

Li Yue saw that Xiruo was a little scared, so she touched her little head and said with a smile: "Yes, the blood there is very important to us. Once we lose it, it will take a long time to recover, so you have to protect it well, understand?"

Xi Ruo nodded in confusion, wondering in her heart: "Is the witch doctor a good person or a bad person?"

Qianyu calmed down for a while and asked, "Sister, how are you now?"

Li Yue sighed, "Heart blood is indeed important. Since then, I always feel less comfortable than before. I often feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. I am out of breath after killing a few monsters. Later... Later, I heard from the doctor in the tribe that if you lack heart blood, your life span will be shortened by at least 20 years."

"what!"

Qianyu was shocked. Twenty years? How many twenty years can a person live for?

She tried hard to hold back her tears, looking at her still smiling sister, a surge of blood rushed out of her heart, "Don't worry, sister, I will protect you from now on!"

Li Yue smiled and said, "That's great, Qianyu, it's great that you're back. Promise me, okay? If I'm gone someday, you'll take good care of me and support the Diying tribe for me!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Qianyu covered Li Yue's mouth with her hand.

Li Yue grabbed her sister's hand, but her expression was still serious, "Promise me, okay?"

Qianyu suddenly felt a huge pressure on her shoulders, which she had never felt in the previous ten years of her life. But looking at her sister who was working so hard for her brother and the tribe, she had no choice but to agree.

……

"Bah..."

Chen Qingzhou felt as if he was being burned by a flame of ten thousand degrees Celsius. His whole body was shaking, and the sweat on his body and face was immediately vaporized by the high temperature!

He endured the pain and tried his best to absorb the lightning energy through the acupuncture points of his Ren and Du meridians. The electric current and lightning energy in the lightning ball entered Chen Qingzhou's body bit by bit. The feeling was a bit like standing up after squatting for a long time, but it was a hundred times more painful.

But after enduring this pain, one can feel that all of his limbs are being pulled and nourished by the power of thunder, which is something he has never felt while practicing other martial arts.

The brightness of the lightning ball seemed to be gradually weakening, and its size was getting smaller and smaller.
