Chapter 1878: Must Enter the Reincarnation Path

Listening to Ling Zhiyu’s response, Gu Zhiqi furrowed her brows even more tightly.

Reaching out to Ling Zhiyu, she said, "Let me see the jade pendant."

As soon as Ling Zhiyu heard this, she immediately took off the jade pendant and handed it to Gu Zhiqi.

As soon as the jade pendant fell into Gu Zhiqi’s hand, she felt a trace of cold aura penetrate her hand.

She mobilized her Mystic Qi to envelop the cold aura and then devoured it bit by bit.

"Have you always worn this jade pendant?" Gu Zhiqi asked, holding the pendant and looking at Ling Zhiyu.

Ling Zhiyu replied, "I’ve always worn it close to my body, except when bathing."

Gu Zhiqi continued to ask, "Has it ever fallen into someone else’s hands?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhiyu lowered her eyes in thought for a long time, then shook her head at Gu Zhiqi, "No."

Gu Zhiqi asked, "Have you met a Mystic Master?"

Ling Zhiyu’s expression flickered slightly, her eyes showing a tinge of hesitation. Eventually, she nodded to Gu Zhiqi, "Now that you mention it, I recall something."

"Not too long ago, Chang Qing’s mother came to see me."

"She somehow found out that Chang Qing was inside the jade pendant and wanted to see him. Since she’s Chang Qing’s mother, I allowed them to meet."

Initially, Meng Furong wanted to take the jade pendant away, but Xu Changqing didn’t recognize her at all and refused to go with her, so she gave up.

She merely met Xu Changqing once and then left.

Gu Zhiqi pondered for two seconds, then said to Ling Zhiyu, "I heard that Xu Changqing’s mother sometimes loses her mind. Was she clear-headed when she came to you that day?"

Ling Zhiyu understood her implication and quickly replied, "That day, her mind was very clear."

It was precisely because Meng Furong was lucid that Ling Zhiyu permitted Chang Qing to meet her.

Otherwise, Ling Zhiyu also feared that Meng Furong, when not in her right mind, might harm Chang Qing.

Gu Zhiqi asked, "How much do you know about Xu Changqing’s mother?"

"I’ve just met her a few times."

Although Meng Furong and Elder Seo were once married, she was a Mystic Master and frequently stayed at the Mystic Alliance. After divorcing Elder Seo, her visits to the Immortal Medical Alliance became exceedingly rare.

Therefore, whether during Xu Changqing’s life or after his death, Ling Zhiyu and Meng Furong weren’t familiar with each other.

After listening, Gu Zhiqi pondered for a long time before speaking to Ling Zhiyu, "A Mystic Master has tampered with Xu Changqing’s spirit. Within ten days, he must enter the Reincarnation Path, or his soul will scatter."

Not only Xu Changqing.

If Ling Zhiyu continues to wear the jade pendant containing Xu Changqing’s spirit for too long, she might also meet an untimely death.

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s words, Ling Zhiyu’s pupils contracted, and she softly murmured, "Why... why is this happening?"

After gazing blankly for a while, she raised her head to look at Gu Zhiqi, "Master Gu, there’s... no other way?"

Gu Zhiqi shook her head, "He must enter the Reincarnation Path."

If discovered two days earlier, she might have had a solution.

But now, there’s no way.

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhiyu staggered back several steps; the news hit her hard.

Gu Zhiqi drew a formation on the jade pendant to seal the leaking cold aura and then handed the jade pendant to Ling Zhiyu, "There are only ten days left. During this time, he can no longer leave the jade pendant, but he can communicate with you."

Ling Zhiyu dazedly reached out to take the jade pendant.

Gu Zhiqi, seeing this, said nothing more and led Tang Yichen aside to dig for herbs.
