Zhuge Lan looked at Bai Chenxiang's determined eyes, his heart warming. He stroked Bai Chenxiang's hair.
He said gently, "No! Spirit Hall is making such a big move this time, which means they must have made a very strict plan. It's too dangerous if you go with me. I won't feel at ease. After all, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, those two old guys, are Titled Douluo powerhouses. Who knows if there are more powerful people there."
"But..."
Bai Chenxiang was about to insist on accompanying Zhuge Lan, but Zhuge Lan interrupted her: "Xiang'er, I know you're worried about me. It's fine. Don't you remember who I am, right? I'm the invincible Zhuge Lan!"
Zhuge Lan comforted her, "Now our Speed Clan has just suffered persecution from Spirit Hall. We are at a critical moment of post-disaster reconstruction. My dear, you are the Young Sect Master of the Sect. At this time, the most important thing for you is to be with the clansmen, rebuild our home, and give everyone confidence!"
Bai Chenxiang bit her lip, her eyes full of worry and reluctance, but she also understood that Zhuge Lan's words were not unreasonable.
"Zhuge Lan, then you must be careful. I will wait for you to come back at the Speed Clan. If you encounter danger, you must find a way to escape. Don't fight head-on."
Bai Chenxiang's voice trembled slightly.
Zhuge Lan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, my little fool. Once I rescue Bìluò, I'll come back to you immediately."
"Oh, and."
Zhuge Lan suddenly remembered something. He took out an exquisite treasure box from his sleeve. The surface of the box was also engraved with patterns of soaring dragons.
Zhuge Lan handed the exquisite treasure box to Bai Chenxiang and said, "Xiang'er, inside is an Immortal Herb I obtained by chance before. It's very helpful for cultivation. Take it and cultivate diligently to strengthen your spirit power while I'm away."
Bai Chenxiang took the treasure box and opened it, and a rich medicinal fragrance assailed her nostrils.
The Immortal Herb in the box emitted a faint green glow, clearly not an ordinary item.
She looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, at Zhuge Lan: "Zhuge Lan, you always think of me. I will definitely cultivate well. You must return safely from this trip. I don't want to lose you."
Zhuge Lan gently embraced Bai Chenxiang, whispering, "I will definitely return safely, don't worry. When I come back, we'll go see the most beautiful scenery together."
"Also."
Zhuge Lan took another book from his pocket and handed it to Bai Chenxiang:
"This book, 'Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow,' is a set of high-level cultivation techniques suitable for the Speed Clan. It can help our Speed Clan members better Exploit their speed advantage, and improve the speed and efficiency of their spirit power cultivation.
This cultivation technique will allow them to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth faster and control spirit power output more precisely during high-speed movement, giving them a qualitative leap in both speed and strength."
"If I haven't returned in three days, this technique will be used as the grand prize for this competition, and you can present it to the champion."
Bai Chenxiang tightly clutched the book, tears welling up in her eyes. She choked out, "Zhuge Lan, don't say such things. You will definitely be back on time. I will keep this book safe and wait for you to personally present this grand prize."
Zhuge Lan smiled, his gaze full of tenderness and determination: "Xiang'er, rest assured, completely."
Then.
His gaze turned serious as he slowly turned his head and spoke solemnly to the image of School Master Ning in the Ancient Book Mirror:
"School Master Ning, this is an emergency. Did you see which direction they went? This concerns Bìluò's life, and we must find their tracks as soon as possible."
Ning Fengzhi frowned, saying with a worried expression, "They went in the direction of Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall is like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair. Their actions this time must be well-prepared. You must be extremely careful. The people of Spirit Hall are insidious and cunning; they must have set up many traps along the way, just waiting for you to walk into them."
Zhuge Lan said:
A hint of resolve flashed in Zhuge Lan's eyes as he said solemnly, "I understand, School Master Ning. You must also constantly pay attention to your own safety. Since the people of Spirit Hall dare to boldly capture people outside, their ambition and courage are evident. Perhaps they will also be unfavorable to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, after all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also holds a crucial position on the Douluo Continent. You must strengthen your Sect's defenses, and be more wary of the insidious tricks and covert actions Spirit Hall might employ. Never let your guard down."
With that, Zhuge Lan closed the Ancient Book Mirror.
Bai Chenxiang carefully packed his clothes for him, and with her fair, slender hands, she tidied his collar.
Zhuge Lan looked at Bai Chenxiang's eyes, filled with care and reluctance, and his heart surged with unprecedented warmth and strength.
He gently held Bai Chenxiang's hand, kissed Bai Chenxiang's warm, jade-like forehead, and said softly: "Xiang'er, take good care of yourself. Wait for me to come back!"
Bai Chenxiang nodded, her eyes shining with determination: "I will. I will cultivate diligently and not let down your expectations. At the same time, I will also lead our clan to rebuild our home and let it radiate new vitality. When you return, I hope to see an even more prosperous Speed Clan!"
Zhuge Lan, carrying his pack, bid a reluctant farewell to Bai Chenxiang, then resolutely embarked on his journey.
As soon as he stepped out of the house's front door, he saw that familiar figure—Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo's iconic green long hair swayed in the wind, shimmering in the sunlight, appearing exceptionally dazzling.
He stood with his hands behind his back and nodded slightly after seeing Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan, seeing Dugu Bo, also said with a hint of surprise, "Oh, Old Poison, why are you here? Could it be that there are poisonous herbs you like nearby? Oh my god, don't scare me, I'm afraid of dying."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's originally indifferent face immediately showed a hint of displeasure. He glared at Zhuge Lan and said, "Just passing by, you fool."
Dugu Bo saw Zhuge Lan carrying his pack, looking ready to depart.
He frowned and asked, "Where are you going? Carrying so much stuff."
"Spirit Hall kidnapped my person, and I'm just about to go teach them a lesson."
Zhuge Lan said indignantly.
"Spirit Hall?"
"Tell me the details of what happened."
A hint of worry emerged in Dugu Bo's heart.
"Ah, it's nothing, just that a friend of mine was captured by Spirit Hall, and the School Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School happened to run into them on the way, and he told me."
Zhuge Lan explained.
"Then where are you going to rescue her? Do you know where they took her?"
Dugu Bo stood with his arms crossed.
"Listening to Ning Fengzhi, it seems they went towards Spirit Hall."
Zhuge Lan said thoughtfully.
"Spirit Hall?"
Upon hearing these three words, Dugu Bo's eyes could not hide his panic and fear.
