Only then did I finally get the general picture.
But I asked another question:
"Uncle Yu, what about the crystal? Did Xiao Yu take it with her?
And did Daoist Qingshan and Pan Ling leave again?"
This time, although Xiao Yu had appeared and slaughtered every last member of the Huang Family.
If Daoist Qingshan, Zhao Liansheng of the Secret Bureau, and the others had not shown up.
My master and I still would have had a hard time surviving.
After hearing me out, Uncle Yu immediately reached into his clothes and took out a talisman pouch.
Then he said:
"It's here. Miss Xiao Yu gave me the crystal.
She's only a wisp of true soul and couldn't take it with her.
She said that once you woke up, I was to give it to you, and you could return it to her when we got back to the Nine Corpse Tower in Mountain City.
Daoist Qingshan and Pan Ling haven't left these past few days either. The master and disciple even came to the hospital yesterday."
With that, Uncle Yu handed me the talisman pouch.
I laboriously raised my left hand and squeezed it in my palm. The little stone inside had already turned ash-gray.
"Uncle Yu, you and Master keep it for me for now! It takes effort for me just to move like this."
I gave a bitter smile.
Uncle Yu grunted and took the crystal back.
At the same time, Master, who was sitting by the bed, spoke up as well:
"Xiao Jiang, I'll remember this great enmity.
Recover from your injuries first, then we'll go get our revenge.
When Green Mountain came by yesterday, he mentioned something.
They've been in Gui City lately, cooperating with the Secret Bureau in an operation against the Huang Family.
