Chapter 1136: The Ancestral House of Ru Yu Village

Chapter 1136: The Ancestral House of Ru Yu Village

This startled Su Kexin and the Fox girl; after Lin Nuo finished asking, he just jumped down, and without using any wind technique, it looked just like a regular person committing suicide by jumping off a cliff.

“Senior Martial Brother! What are you doing?!”

Su Kexin shouted, internally thinking of going to pull him back, but he was already too far gone—Lin Nuo had jumped off without a chance to stop him.

She rushed to the edge of the cliff he jumped from. Oh no, if she got there, her senior brother would be smashed to pieces.

“Ah? Where is he? Where did he go? I can’t see him!”

Su Kexin gasped in shock. Looking over the cliff, she couldn’t see Lin Nuo’s figure at all!

Could he have really jumped off the cliff and crossed over?

And why didn’t he use sword flight? If he had flown over, they would’ve crossed together!

Oh no, he must be sincere in his intentions—only a direct jump down would be enough to move the heavens, allowing him to reach the place the Fox girl mentioned.

So, following her senior brother’s lead, she thought if she jumped down too, surely she would run into him again soon!

Su Kexin believed this wholeheartedly. Mimicking Lin Nuo, she leaped off the cliff.

The Fox girl watched, dumbfounded. What was happening? Why were these two jumping one after the other?

What should she do? Would they be okay?!

Lin the Knight should be fine, right?

He should…

Su Kexin closed her eyes while falling, thinking it was just like training—focus and transcend, and surely she would soon arrive at a new place.

Before long, she felt a pair of arms catch her.

“Ah, this is…?”

The sensation was warm and familiar. Those strong arms radiated power and security, and she immediately thought of who it was.

“Senior, Senior Martial Brother! You’re still here! Ah, so we’ve already arrived at the new place!”

Su Kexin opened her eyes in excitement.

“A new place? What were you thinking jumping down here? Just playing around? If I weren’t here, you’d be toast!”

“Ah, Senior Martial Brother? But you jumped down first, and I followed you! I was just keeping up with you!”

“I jumped down to test the waters! What are you barging in for? Come on, let’s go back up.”

Lin Nuo quickly gathered his strength, leaping effortlessly back to the edge of the cliff.

Their sudden appearance shocked the Fox girl who had been watching helplessly at the cliff’s edge, thinking they’d already crossed to a new place!

“Ah, Lin the Knight, you, you’re still here…?”

“Why wouldn’t we be? Can a little cliff kill us?”

Lin Nuo set Su Kexin down as he landed, releasing her.

Su Kexin was really in danger, jumping down with her eyes closed without any preparation. Did she really want to go to the underworld? The problem was, even if she wanted to, she couldn’t get there! Her resilience would definitely save her!

“It seems this ordinary jump didn’t trigger your previous crossing. There must be an opportunity—at least thick fog is needed.”

Lin Nuo said seriously, not knowing how to get past or what the triggering conditions were—it left him feeling frustrated.

Speaking of fog, the weather was indeed odd, with no signs at all. He remembered it was clear and sunny before he left, and based on his experience, after a few days, there wouldn’t be any fog or heavy rain.

It seemed this was not just an ordinary weather change; it was a prerequisite for the teleportation spot.

Lin Nuo’s gaze shifted to the Fox girl. Originally, he thought about having her jump down, but if she really jumped back into that monster-infested place while they couldn’t follow, they would be in deep trouble.

After all, they still needed her for the only clue, and the Fox people were far more sensitive to finding their kind.

“So, Senior Martial Brother, what do we do now…?”

Su Kexin grew anxious, her mind blank, unable to think of a solution.

“The cliff?”

Lin Nuo murmured. He had an experience of falling off a cliff once himself.

It was back when he was in Ru Yu Village, gathering herbs, and he had fallen off a cliff, where he had met Su Kexin.

Of course, he wasn’t sure how true that memory was, since it was merely a segment from a dream. Coincidentally, Su Kexin had a similar memory.

“Perhaps we could try going to Ru Yu Village.” Lin Nuo suggested.

“Ru Yu Village? Why would we go there, Senior Martial Brother?” Su Kexin asked.

“Do you remember that dream where we both fell off the cliff?”

“Oh! You mean that one! Right, that was really strange! So, do you think there could be clues there?”

Su Kexin’s mind started to work again, grasping Lin Nuo’s intention.

“Yes, of course. It’s been years, so even if something happened, it’s likely changed. But we can still give it a shot.”

Lin Nuo said, summoning his Spirit Sword to fly beneath his feet.

“Senior Martial Brother, your Phoenix… is still with me…”

“Use it for now; otherwise, how would you keep up with my speed?”

“Oh! Got it! Thank you, Senior Martial Brother!”

Su Kexin nodded repeatedly, believing that Lin Nuo had lent it to her, not knowing it was actually the Phoenix staying close to her.

If the Phoenix returned to Lin Nuo’s sword, Su Kexin would never be able to catch up with him again, which Lin Nuo didn’t want to see happen.

In fact, Lin Nuo could have easily left Su Kexin behind, but he wasn’t doing that now.

He realized that breaking through to the Demon Realm required her, and overcoming the barriers also needed her.

Now he understood how important she was.

Having the villain and the protagonist on the same side was rare, and Lin Nuo was temporarily willing to compromise.

“You come along too.”

Lin Nuo pulled the Fox girl onto the Spirit Sword as well. The Fox girl was startled, both excited and afraid, always worried she’d mess up and become a burden to Lin Nuo.

“Lin the Knight, if I can help with anything, please let me know!”

“That’s a given; why else would I bring you along?”

Lin Nuo said coldly, without waiting for Su Kexin to get ready, and flew off on the sword.

“Senior Martial Brother, you’re not going to wait for me…”

Su Kexin pouted. Her senior brother was always running off suddenly!

“You two, please help me catch up to my senior brother!”

Su Kexin addressed the Phoenix Dual Souls. These two sword souls were sentient, and as they manifested beneath her feet, they lifted Su Kexin, rapidly flying through the sky to catch up with Lin Nuo.

Before long, Su Kexin caught up to Lin Nuo, the Phoenix Dual Souls truly excellent in speed.

They flew for a while, smoothly arriving at Ru Yu Village, which was now sparsely populated, long past its former bustling scene.

This time, Lin Nuo returned to Ru Yu Village without heading straight into the mountains but rather went back to the ancestral house.

“Senior Martial Brother, you came here… hmm…”

Su Kexin looked at Lin Nuo’s ancestral house and remembered the previous illusion, where Ruo’er and Xia Hanmo were living together, and another version of herself had also been in Ru Yu Village.

“Senior Martial Brother, that… did she really… kill you?”

Su Kexin suddenly asked this question.
