272. The Last Side (3)
"Master, since my uncle and aunt have appeared as scheduled, then you should also fulfill your previous promise to me, right?" As he spoke, Gao Ran had already walked straight to Zhao Yi.
"Hmm. Don't worry, since I have promised you, then I will keep my promise. ”
"That's good!"
After saying that, Gao Ran deliberately turned around and glanced at Ye Jue. The instantaneous eye contact between the two made Ye Yu understand what she wanted to hint at her: since she wants to cooperate, then Gao Ran will not allow her to violate her bottom line!
However, she didn't plan to involve Zhao Yi in the first place, but now, Gao Ran forcibly left him behind, so she is naturally willing to cooperate: in the future, she will never take the initiative to contact him, let alone take the initiative to seek any form of help from him.
In fact, not to mention that Zhao Yi will soon succeed as the next valley master, so even if it is to not affect the medical valley, Ye Yu will not easily affect him! Moreover, even if Zhao Yi does not succeed the valley master, but she has already forced Gao Ran into the game, if she doesn't let him go, then I am afraid that Gao Ran will turn against her because of this! And now, in terms of her revenge and the aftermath afterwards, between Zhao Yi and Gao Ran, it is obvious that Gao Ran is more useful! Then she naturally knows how to choose!
As for Zhao Yi, he only needs to remember his promise to Gao Ran and truly stop interfering in their respective private affairs! For the rest, he doesn't need to know more. It's also better not to know more!
"By the way, why did you two fight each other just now?"
In order not to be aware that there might be a cat between himself and Ye Yu, and even suspect that the two of them may have done something privately between them that he can't let him know, when Gao Ran looked at Ye Yu, he actually just glanced at her in a hurry, and then quickly looked away, pretending to turn around to look at Zhao Feng, and asked by the way.
If she is like this, she will only make uninformed people mistakenly think that she is asking Zhao Yi and Zhao Feng at the same time.
In fact, the two of them really thought so.
But Zhao Yi refused to answer because he lost the competition. On the contrary, Zhao Feng was very happy and came to Gao Ran's side again, and proudly showed off to her: "Senior brother said that he plans to teach you the secret art of controlling the messenger, and I am naturally not convinced! Why should I learn from him? So I proposed that it would be better to compete, whoever wins the messenger, you can learn from whomever you want!"
Gao Ran couldn't help frowning with a little disgust, and directly refused: "I don't learn! I don't want to raise such a selfish and immoral thing!"
"No! according to the rules, since you have cultivated your internal skills to the eighth layer, then you have to start practicing the Messenger Technique!" But she didn't want to, Zhao Yi reprimanded her with a rare and rather severe reprimand.
"Why?" Seeing Zhao Yi's insistence so resolutely, he didn't even care about her true wishes—he was so abnormal, but it made Gao Ran feel that there must be something hidden in this! And it must be for her good!
Thinking about it like this, although he was reluctant in his heart, Gao Ran was no longer as strongly resistant to practicing this technique as before. However, she must know the hidden secret!
Therefore, in order to let Zhao Yi understand that she is not trying to confront him, but just wants to know the truth, in this way, even if she has to learn, then she can learn willingly......
In order to let him understand her feelings, so, after she was just angry and even a little angry, she asked Zhao Yi that sentence, and when she realized that it was a little inappropriate for her to ask like this, she hurriedly took the initiative to explain: "I just want to know the truth! Your attitude is so resolute, I know that you must be like this for my good! Then I should practice seriously according to your wishes." However, I want to know the truth! In this way, I can also learn to be willing! You know, if I am not willing, I will not be able to do anything; if I am willing, then whatever I do, I will get twice the result with half the effort—— not to mention, I will have to risk my life to practice this technique! Do you think I am willing to learn well? Or am I unwilling to learn passively?"
Gao Ran deliberately said that the matter was much more serious than the actual situation, but it was not a lie, so she couldn't believe it and couldn't move Zhao Yi to tell her the truth!
"That's right! Why doesn't she want to learn, you have to force her to learn?! Although according to the rules, it is true that she should have learned as you said, but if she doesn't want to, she can't learn either! The door rules don't stipulate that she must learn!" But he didn't think about it, Zhao Feng, who didn't know how to look at the atmosphere at all, also asked curiously with Gao Ran.
But his reaction made Gao Ran feel a different kind of helplessness. Although she probably already had the answer in her heart, she still asked Zhao Feng quite weakly: "Uncle Junior, you, shouldn't you even know the reason why your master has to teach me this technique, so you rashly challenged him in order to compete for the qualification to be my 'master'?"
"Ah, yes, what's wrong? Anyway, no matter what the reason, the final result is to teach you this technique, so why not if I go to fight for it? Besides, I am willing to teach you, that is your blessing! You dare to dislike it?!" Saying that, Zhao Feng glanced at Gao Ran with some anger, as if he had really been wronged.
"Alas—" Gao Ran sighed helplessly. She knew what would happen to him with such a freak as him, and it was really hard to say —— him, the biggest and most unpredictable variable in it!
As soon as she thought of this, Gao Ran was a little worried about whether having him by her side in the future would be more beneficial or disadvantageous to her?!
"Master, let's just say it! You should also know that if you want to practice this technique, it will be a great burden on my body, and it may even be fatal! But even so, you still have to ask me to practice...... Then you must have your concerns! You might as well say it directly!"
"Let me tell you!" Seeing that Zhao Yi seemed to be unable to bear to tell the truth, Ye Yi took the initiative to speak for him.
When Gao Ran heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Ye Yu. At this moment, she was immediately convinced of one thing in her heart: sure enough, the reason why Ye Jue deliberately looked at her so meaningfully before was obviously because she already knew the real reason for this!
"But, how could it be? Or did she actually experience the same experience?!That's why she knew it so well?" For Ye Yu, who had just met, would be so well versed in the real reason why Zhao Yi was so indispensable, Gao Ran could not find other more reasonable explanations besides such doubts!
"Because to cultivate a messenger, you must first make a blood pact with them!"
"Blood Pact?What Blood Pact?!"
"Whatever form of the messenger is, until it is cocooned, it is only a drop of bone and blood from the 'holy object'! As for what will grow into the cocoon after metamorphosis, it depends on the master's own temperament!"
"Uncle Shi, you still haven't told me what the blood contract that must be made is?!"
"Never betray the Valley of Medicine—— if you break this contract, the messenger will enter the master's body and die with the master!"
"What?!"
Gao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhao Yi in disbelief. She didn't expect that in order to prevent her from really being unfavorable to the Medical Valley, Zhao Yi would not hesitate to force her to risk her life to cultivate the messenger!
It wasn't until this moment that she understood: no wonder even if the Medicine Valley has been passed down to the present day, even if only a few people can cultivate the art of curse poison, it can still make the disciples follow it in an orderly manner without relying on the shackles of those few people's curse poison...... It turns out that the reason why this can be done is actually the existence of another blood contract that can replace the bondage of the curse!
"Therefore, if you have cultivated the inner strength to the eighth level or above, but still have no intention of cultivating your own Messenger disciples, although it is true that the rules of the sect do not force them to practice this technique, in fact, all those who do not consciously practice it will eventually be eliminated for various reasons?——!
"Girl......"
"Master doesn't need to say it! I understand! You don't want to see that I may go behind your back at any time to the detriment of Yigu, nor do you want to see me be regarded as a potential 'traitor' by my fellow disciples because I refuse to consciously practice this technique, and finally die tragically at the hands of my fellow disciples, so you have to force me to practice this technique. I know! I really do! This is indeed the best of both worlds for you, and the only way to do it!
"It's just that if I had known that there was such a rule in the Medical Valley, then I would rather have abandoned the practice of internal strength in the first place! At least, now, I don't have to give you a good excuse in vain, so that you can be so natural to guard against me!"
Although she said that she understood him, in the end, Gao Ran still expressed her resentment towards Zhao Yi! At this moment, her heart was not so much angry as disappointed! Full of disappointment!
How could he not believe her?! Don't believe it: as long as he becomes the next valley lord and abides by the agreement and no longer interferes in their private affairs, then she will never touch the medical valley in the slightest! He will even do everything to protect the medical valley—— why doesn't he believe her?!
Or is he more afraid to risk the survival of Yigu than to believe in her?! What he cares about most in the end is still Yigu! Even, he would rather sacrifice her for Yigu!
Thinking of this, Gao Ran had nothing but disappointment in Zhao Yi......
However, at this moment, Ye Yu had quietly walked to her side and patted her on the shoulder, but said nothing.
Gao Ran, on the other hand, clearly knew what she wanted to convey to her because of her simple action: Ye Yu just wanted to tell her that she had experienced something similar to how she felt at the moment......
Gao Ran unconsciously sneered with a little self-deprecation, and at the same time, he also glanced at Ye Yu meaningfully.
At this moment, only they know what they are thinking about each other......
Gao Ran came back to his senses, instinctively covered up all his negative emotions, and said to Zhao Yi very calmly: "Since the master is so well-intentioned, then I have to agree!"
Then, he turned his head to Zhao Feng and said, "Uncle Junior, I'll come to you again in a while and ask you for advice on how to control messengers!"
After that, Gao Ran reached out and pulled Ye Yu's sleeve and said to her, "You come with me, I have something to ask you!"
Now, for Gao Ran, if there is anyone among these people that she can trust, then Ye Yu is the only one left! And she must know the truth about what Gao Ran is suspicious of at the moment! Therefore, she naturally wants to ask her—— but she must not ask in front of Zhao Yi and Zhao Feng!
Ye Yu understood what Gao Ran meant, so he briefly explained to the two of them, "We'll be back in a while, you guys wait here first!"
With that, he led Gao Ran out of the clearing and walked back to the depths of the dense forest overgrown with grass and trees again......
