32. Feng Lili
A mortal enemy, Gong Musheng said it so casually, but Gong Yiling didn’t believe a word of it.
What kind of mortal enemies would help each other set up formations? Even if they became enemies later, this formation wouldn’t just be left here.
But it was their private matter. Although Miss Gong was curious, it wasn’t appropriate to pry, so she just followed behind Gong Musheng onto the wooden plank road.
The plank road was about one or two thousand meters long. When they finally reached the end, they felt as if they had walked for dozens of steps and suddenly found a wide open space.
The first thing they felt wasn’t the scenery or the faint sounds of shouting, but a wave of spiritual energy.
Yes, just as the introduction said, the spiritual energy concentration here was about ten times higher than in other areas.
Cultivating here would surely be twice as effective.
After sensing the different aura of this place, the beautiful scenery finally came into view.
This wasn’t a bustling city, but more like a village.
Not far away, they could even see a waterwheel by a stream, and fields with farmers in simple clothes.
“This place isn’t bad.” Gong Yiling breathed in the fresh air and stretched.
Although this world didn’t have any heavy industry, and the air outside was also good, it was still filled with worldly noise.
This place was perfect for retirement.
“What?” Yan Chuyue chuckled beside her. “The dignified Young Palace Master of a demonic sect, already thinking about retiring here?”
“What’s wrong with that?” Gong Yiling turned to look at her. “Life shouldn’t be so complicated. Having food, a place to sleep, and rest is good enough.”
This was the dream of every modern-day office worker.
“If only it were that simple.”
Yan Chuyue suddenly said something familiar, “Some people are blessed by the heavens, some are given great expectations, and some are destined to follow fate.”
Gong Yiling raised an eyebrow. “Why are you suddenly talking like a scoundrel? Do you want to learn divination from my Little Auntie?”
“But no, you’re my disciple. How can you learn from someone else?”
“Get lost.” Yan Chuyue rolled her eyes. “I just said it casually. Why are you still remembering it?”
“And my dear Master, have you ever taught me anything?”
Gong Yiling immediately put her hands behind her back and said seriously, “Eh, a smart disciple knows not to trouble her master. My disciple Chuyue is just like that.”
“Pah!” Yan Chuyue said with a laugh. “It’s a good thing I don’t trouble you. Think about how many times you’ve troubled me.”
“Didn’t I bring you here to see the scenery?” Gong Yiling said righteously. “See how good I am to you!”
“Heh…” Yan Chuyue, at a loss for words, just shook her head with a wry smile. After a while, she gently tugged at Gong Yiling’s sleeve and said, “Yiling, let me tell you something.”
“Call me Master.”
“Don’t joke around. I’m being serious.” Yan Chuyue put aside her playful mood and said seriously, “In the Hundred Ghosts Ridge, don’t trust anyone you think is a good person.”
“Huh…?” Gong Yiling was bewildered by her words.
Why would she suddenly say such a thing?
“What, are you afraid that I, a Young Palace Master of a demonic sect, will be tricked by a bunch of peasants?”
Yan Chuyue, seeing that she wasn’t taking her seriously, wanted to reveal more.
But before she could speak, a figure suddenly rushed over.
The person was incredibly fast, their palm strike like lightning, like a gust of wind, raising a cloud of dust several thousand meters high, and striking directly at Gong Musheng.
“Bam—!!!”
The impact created a deafening boom, the shockwave sending dust flying for kilometers.
Gong Yiling and Yan Chuyue didn’t even have time to react before they were thrown hundreds of meters away by the terrifying wave, their qi and blood churning, almost making them vomit blood.
When they finally struggled to their feet, the two were already engaged in a fierce battle.
However, despite the opponent’s powerful aura, Gong Musheng was no pushover.
They fought for a while, turning the entire entrance into a mess, but their clothes remained intact.
Seeing that she couldn’t win, the Ghost Physician finally roared, “Gong Musheng, you dare to show your face here?”
At this, Gong Yiling finally realized that this Ghost Physician… was actually a woman?
“Why shouldn’t I be here?” Gong Musheng smiled calmly. “Feng Lili, it’s been a long time. You’re still so enthusiastic.”
“You bastard!” Feng Lili angrily threw off her black cloak, revealing a head of fiery red hair. “Gong Musheng, do you think I don’t dare to kill you!?”
After revealing her face, Gong Yiling realized that not only was she a woman, but she also looked quite young, probably in her early twenties.
Of course, a cultivator’s age couldn’t be judged by their appearance. Her mother, who was at least in her thirties or forties, still looked like a woman in her twenties.
And when she and her mother stood together, it was hard to tell if they were sisters or something else.
However, since this Ghost Physician was also a woman, then her relationship with Little Auntie was quite interesting.
Could it be…
“If you kill me, the formation at the entrance will immediately dissipate, and the people looking for you will be able to track you down to your original home.” Gong Musheng glanced at her calmly and dusted off her clothes. “If you can find someone else who can solve your problem without asking for anything in return, then go ahead.”
“You…!”
Feng Lili frowned, annoyed, but she was helpless against the woman before her.
After a long time, she finally sighed and said with displeasure, “If you have something to say, say it. If you have nothing, then get lost.”
These three sentences were concise and fully displayed her personality.
Gong Yiling had thought this Ghost Physician was either a gloomy person, or an arrogant one, or a strange and unpredictable one.
But it turned out she was none of those.
