The Seven Emotions Valley's Business
The man in the white paper hat escaped, and Lu Yang and Zhao Po knew he wasn't someone they could catch, so they didn't take him seriously.
Zhao Po took out a small gong, tapped it gently, and it produced a pleasant sound.
"This is how I contact my friend. If she's in the valley, she should come out to meet us soon."
Before long, a slender woman emerged from the Valley of Seven Emotions. Upon seeing Zhao Po, her eyes lit up slightly, though she concealed her joy well. Then, in a slightly disdainful tone, she asked, "What Curse have you been cursed this time?"
Zhao Po didn't mind the woman's tone, smiled slightly, and introduced, "This is a friend I just made, Lu Yang from the Ask Dao Sect. He has something he wants to ask the Valley Master for help with."
"This is Luo Yu, True Disciple of the Seven Emotions Valley. Her master is the Valley Master of the Seven Emotions Valley."
"Lu Yang?!" Luo Yu was shocked to hear Lu Yang's name. "You're the Lu Yang who won first place at the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony and even beat up the judges after that?"
Lu Yang felt he had many strengths and didn't need to become famous in this way.
"I have a friend who is afflicted by Curse of unspeakable nature, which is very difficult to break. I would like to ask the Valley Master for help."
Luo Yu looked at Lu Yang with a hint of pity. Yet another Curse person who claimed to have a friend.
"Your master is about to emerge from seclusion, but it's uncertain whether she'll be willing to break the Curse for you. Please come in first."
"It wasn't me, it was a friend of mine," Lu Yang corrected.
"I understand."
The two followed Luo Yu through the array entrance and entered the Valley of Seven Emotions.
"By the way, do you guys at the Ask Dao Sect have someone named Xie Shanren?" Luo Yu suddenly asked.
"Yes, Xie Shanren is our Fourth Elder. Is there a problem?"
The Fourth Elder rarely leaves the outside world, and no Fourth Elder outside knows his name.
"There's a problem. When Master was young, he was in love with a man named Xie Shanren. The two met by chance, and Master fell in love with him at first sight. They often sat down to discuss the Dao and had a very pleasant conversation. Master even taught him how to break the Curse, wanting to prove his heart. Unfortunately, Xie Shanren did not accept Master's kindness in the end. He left Master, left the desolate state, and returned to the Ask Dao Sect."
"Judging from how often Master mentions Xie Shanren, she hasn't let go of him in her heart. As for whether it's love or hatred born from love, that's uncertain."
Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
No wonder the Fourth Elder didn't send the two of them to Seven Emotions Valley, the sect most skilled in Curse techniques in the Desolate State, but instead recommended them to the Corpse Driving Sect. So that's why.
Having already entered the Valley of Seven Emotions, leaving now would be a bit too embarrassing.
I hope the Valley Master will be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against a junior disciple of the Ask Dao Sect.
Lu Yang felt that he had sacrificed too much to break Meng Jingzhou's Curse; no father could have done more.
"Do friends all like to act like elders to each other?" The Immortal Fairy asked Lu Yang, as if she had just remembered something.
"I wouldn't say all of them, but only a portion of them are."
"I see."
"Is something on your mind, fairy?"
The fairy nodded, revealing a simple and honest smile, "The first time I cooked for the Qilin Immortal, he called me 'Mom.' It turns out he considered me a friend. It seems that eating together really can foster relationships."
The Immortal Fairy has a beautiful smile, much more pleasing to the eye than the aloof Senior Sister, but Lu Yang wasn't meeting her for the first time and wasn't fooled by her innocent smile.
"Explain this to me in detail."
"After I challenged Ying Tianxian and Qilin Xian, who were both above my level, I felt bad about it, so I invited them to dinner. At first, they were very wary of me, thinking I was going to poison them. But after seeing that my cooking was smooth and there was no sign of poisoning, they felt relieved and started eating."
"The Qilin Immortal took a bite of food, called out 'Mom,' and then fainted. He was probably too weak to handle the nourishment."
"Ying Tianxian also fainted."
"The Qilin Immortal was born from the union of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and has no father or mother. He must have been mistaking me for his mother." The Immortal Fairy gently shook her head, feeling that the Qilin Immortal was also a pitiful person.
Lu Yang thought that Qilin Immortal probably meant to shout "Damn, this is poisonous!" He fainted after uttering just one word and was misunderstood by the Immortal Fairy.
It would be difficult for later generations to judge the strength of the young immortal, but Lu Yang had his own methods.
Judging from the fact that Qilin Immortal could still utter a single word while Ying Tian Immortal couldn't utter a single word, Qilin Immortal's cultivation level must be superior.
In reality, as the three of them traversed the Valley of Seven Emotions, Lu Yang witnessed many people entering the valley seeking help to break Curse. These were all difficult Curse the disciples who were practicing medicine at the entrance could not resolve.
"Master, every night when I meditate, I can hear mosquitoes buzzing in my ears and my body is unbearably itchy. I heard that you have developed a new type of Curse that has this effect. Am I under this Curse?"
"Fellow Daoist, our Seven Emotions Valley has indeed researched this Curse, but in my opinion, there are no signs that you have been Curse, and the mosquito bites you have exposed suggest that there are indeed mosquitoes around you."
"I don't believe it, you must Curse me."
The disciple of Seven Emotions Valley sighed softly. "That kind of Curse is extremely expensive to create. With your cultivation level so low, who would cast Curse on you?"
"Very well, keep this item with you while you are in seclusion, and you will no longer be Curse."
"What's this?"
"Mosquito coils, three hundred Spirit Stone a plate."
"I'm a sorcerer. From childhood to adulthood, no female cultivator has ever liked me. Every time I confess my feelings to them, they all reject me without exception. Everyone my age is already married, and I don't even have a girlfriend. Am I Curse?"
"Fellow Daoist, your situation is not due to Curse. Your personal charm is undeniable; what you lack is only Spirit Stone. Our Seven Emotions Valley offers lending services. Would you like to borrow Spirit Stone from us? The annual interest rate is only twenty percent."
"Sorcerer, lately, after I kill someone, I keep seeing the victim's bloodied face before death. He roars and Curse me, saying he will never have peace. I still have nightmares where the victim is bleeding and crawling towards me, demanding my life. I'm so scared that I can't sleep."
"Recently, I've been feeling a chill down my spine, like someone is following me, but when I turn my head, there's nothing there."
"When I was in seclusion cultivating, I would occasionally hear eerie laughter, as if mocking my miserable state. I would flee in panic, but the sound would continue to echo in my ears."
"Sometimes a red figure appears before my eyes, but when I rub my eyes and look closely, the red figure disappears."
Am I Curse?
The disciple of Seven Emotions Valley saw that the other person's forehead was dark, his eyes were swollen, and his eyes were filled with fear. He nodded slightly, realizing that he had rarely encountered someone who was truly Curse: "You are indeed Curse, and it is an extremely difficult curse to break—a curse of wrongful death."
Is there a solution?
"Of course there are. There's no Curse that Seven Emotions Valley can't break. But this Curse is too difficult for me to break. Wait while I ask my senior brother for help."
Before long, the man from Seven Emotions Valley called over his senior brother, pointed at the other man, and said, "Senior brother, this is the murderer. I can't beat him, so let's work together to escort him to the authorities!"
The second update will be at 11 PM.
