Su Xiaolu agreed happily. “Sure, I won’t give up the treasures.”
Bai Xu laughed and looked up proudly. “Who asked you to give it up?”
She did not care. After meeting Su Xiaolu, Bai Xu felt much better. She looked at Su Xiaolu and became serious. “Xiaolu, thank you.”!!
If she hadn’t met Su Xiaolu, she probably wouldn’t have lived long. She might even have died miserably.
She thought about how many times she had met Su Xiaolu in her life. She seemed to be in a sorry state every time, but she was really lucky to meet Su Xiaolu.
She did not ask about Su Xiaolu’s parents and elders. They had probably passed away. Otherwise, Su Xiaolu would not have come out.
Let’s not talk about the past. It was fine as long as everyone got along well.
When the medicine took effect, Bai Xu became tired and fell asleep. She was relaxed in front of the friends she trusted.
After Bai Xu fell asleep, Su Xiaolu gave her some spiritual liquid to drink.
“Sister, why do you think she still wants to go in despite being seriously injured? She should be going out to recuperate now. In such a state, it’s even more dangerous to go in. It’s more like tempting fate.”
Su Kuo asked softly in confusion.
They had met a seriously injured woman, but he did not expect her to be an old friend of his sister. This old friend must have a lot of stories on her, and she looked like she had a lot on her mind.
Su Xiaolu looked at the sleeping Bai Xu and said softly, “There must be a reason why she has to go. We’ll know tomorrow. Go to sleep. I’ll keep watch tonight.” Bai Xu did not mention it just now because she was weak.
If she did not mention it tomorrow, Su Xiaolu would not ask. If Bai Xu did not say it, it must be because she did not want to say it.
A strong wind blew outside, and the whimpering wind sounded like wild shrieks and howls.
Su Xiaolu sat quietly. She looked at Bai Xu from time to time. Bai Xu believed her and was sleeping soundly. She looked like she had not slept so soundly for a long time.
What had happened to Bai Xu all these years?
The night passed peacefully.
When Bai Xu woke up, the sky was already bright. Little Niu and Su Kuo made some dry rations for her to eat. Bai Xu thanked them and took them. Her leg had recovered a lot. Grandma was now very strong. The chances of her saving Hu Changshou by herself were too low.
Bai Xu did not know if Su Xiaolu was willing to help, but after thinking about it, she decided not to let go of this opportunity. After Bai Xu finished eating, she looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Su Xiaolu, I want to ask you for a favor. You can ask for anything you want in return. Even if I can’t do it now, I’ll remember it.
When I get it in the future, I’ll definitely return it to you.”
Bai Xu was never someone who would ask for favors from others. She would always remember what others had done for her and definitely repay it when she had the chance.
Hu Changshou was also a cultivator. She had worked with Hu Changshou so many times. She knew that Hu Changshou’s mother, Su Xiaozhi, was Su
Xiaolu’s aunt. She also knew that Su Xiaozhi had once disappointed them.
After Hu Changyang became an adult and became a High Scholar, he became a small official in the town and guarded Su Xiaozhi. Sometimes, Hu Changshou would go home to take a look.
A few years ago, when Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao passed away, Hu Changyang went to their funeral. Although Su Xiaozhi did not go, she ate vegetarian food for Su Sanlang and his wife at home for three months. Last year, Su Xiaozhi passed away, and the relationship between the previous generation ended completely.
Thinking of this, Bai Xu was really uncertain. Seeing that Su Xiaolu did not speak, Bai Xu did not know what she was thinking, so she braced herself and told Su Xiaolu about Hu Changshou.
Speaking of which, this matter was a calamity she had brought to Hu Changshou. They had originally met Grandma Bai Liu outside. As soon as they met, Grandma recognized her. Beside Grandma was a young lady of 14 or 15 years old. Grandma recognized her at a glance.
Bai Xu did not want to have any interactions, but Bai Liu sent a message first and asked her to meet her. She said that after all, she had raised her for more than ten years. They should at least have a meal together.
Bai Xu agreed to go. Hu Changshou was worried, so he fell for it. Even if she and Hu Changshou joined forces, they could not defeat Grandma. Hu Changshou let her escape while Hu Changshou himself was captured. She did not forget what Grandma said. “Bai Xu, if you want to save your lover, come to the ice pond in the foreign land.”
The poisonous needle in Bai Xu’s calf had hit her at that time. She had entered the foreign land and found a shortcut to reach the ice pond first.
How could she leave when Hu Changshou asked her to? If she didn’t go, she wouldn’t be able to get over this for the rest of her life.
“Let’s go. My goal is also the Ice Pond.”
That pond was also her goal. Since they had run into each other, they would go together.
If there were treasures, there would naturally be fights. Bai Xu’s former
Grandma was also going, so it was inevitable that she would take action.
“What stage is Madam Bai Liu’s cultivation at now?”
Su Xiaolu thought of Madam Bai Liu and found it unbelievable. Her impression of this old lady was very rigid. She did not expect her to still be alive.
Her Master should be about the same age as her. In other words, that old woman was already more than a hundred years old.
Bai Xu looked worried. “Grandma’s cultivation level is very high. She should be about to reach the Nascent Soul realm. It’s very difficult for me to survive her.”
Bai Xu looked at Su Xiaolu and asked, “Su Xiaolu, what’s your cultivation level now?”
Su Xiaolu answered truthfully, “Late-stage Golden Core.”
Bai Xu was surprised. “You’re really amazing. I’ve also reached the mid-stage Golden Core bottleneck. What about your Junior Brother and brother? If their cultivation levels are also advanced, we won’t have to be afraid if we join forces.’
Su Kuo thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t cultivate.”
His abilities were innate and had nothing to do with cultivation.
Little Niu smiled faintly. “I’m probably at the late-stage Golden Core too.”
Bai Xu heaved a sigh of relief and gained a lot of confidence. “Then if the three of us join forces, our chances of winning are very high. Grandma must be going for the treasures in the Ice Pond this time. You guys must be going for the treasures too, right? I’m going to save someone. If we join forces, I don’t want any treasures. I just want to save him.”
There was still a chance to encounter and obtain the treasure in the future, but if she wanted to save Hu Changshou from Grandma, she had to join forces with them.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Alright, it’s settled then. We don’t owe each other anything.”
Su Xiaolu could tell that Bai Xu did not want to owe her a favor, so she would only save Hu Changshou and not snatch the treasure. This was Bai Xu giving in. Su Xiaolu also accepted it generously. This was good. When they separated in the future, they would not have to owe each other anything. Bai Xu nodded as well. The few of them moved forward together.
Bai Xu had been here before, so she knew the route.
Hu Changshou was not stupid. He would definitely try his best to stall for time. As long as they delayed a little, Bai Liu would definitely arrive slower than them. If he really could not stall for time, they would progress quickly and Bai Liu would not arrive that much quicker.
They traveled during the day and rested at night.
Su Xiaolu was curious about the relationship between Bai Xu and Hu
Changshou. Before she could ask, Bai Liu took the initiative to say, “After Hu Changshou stopped working for General Chu, he went out on his own. We were fated to meet many times and cooperated on several missions together. We’ve been together for the past ten years.”
Su Xiaolu’s pupils trembled.. Seeing that Su Xiaolu had misunderstood, Bai Xu quickly explained, “We’re exploring together, not together like you think!”
