What's your purpose in bringing me out of the dungeon?
The young man was as cold as a pool, yet his gaze was slightly aggressive, as if he were about to cut open Chu Zheng's soul.
Chu Zheng gave him a casual glance and said, "No purpose." Just want to be a good person.
"You have no purpose. Why did you save me?" This is like a dead loop problem.
"Because of you..." The following words would automatically mute. Chu Zheng paused and said, "I've already said it before. If you believe it, that's fine. If not, it's up to you."
Chu Zheng's calm and indifferent tone left the young man stunned on the spot.
He watched the first zither walk away. A gentle breeze brushed against his cheek, bringing a medicinal fragrance, bitter and astringent.

Another three days.
The injuries on Li Tang's body have almost healed, and he can now do some forceful movements.
The Soul-Destroying Nail had been in his body for so many years. It had been a long time since he felt as relaxed as he did at this moment. His body belonged to him, so there was no need to worry about exerting too much force and pulling the Soul-destroying nail inside.
Li Tang finished a set of movements and turned her head to look at the other end of the yard.
She lay lazily on the bamboo chair, her clothes drooping to the ground. As the chair swayed, she swept the ground back and forth.
Li Tang turned her eyes away and continued her practice.
From now on, he must become stronger.
Perhaps it was because Chu Zheng had given them enough spirit stones that the valley master, who had a bad temper and was somewhat mean, did not drive them away.
Li Tang's health is getting better day by day.
Chu Zheng was also getting lazier day by day.
When I left at night, where was she? When I woke up in the morning, where was she still? I didn't see her move at all.
However, for the first zither, the days when one doesn't have to think about how to spend money should not be too wonderful. One should enjoy them well and not let them go.
The moonlight fell upon the valley, and the entire valley seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil, hazy and indistinct.
When Li Tang returned from outside the courtyard, he immediately saw a person lying on a bamboo chair. The chair was still, and the person on it seemed to be asleep.
He went straight into the house.
After wandering around the room for a while, he came out with a velvet blanket and covered Chu Zheng with it.
"Just for your sake of saving me!" Li Tang muttered to himself, his gaze lingering on her for a moment, then quickly shifted away and turned to enter the room.
In the middle of the night, Li Tang heard a sound outside.
He immediately got up and went out, subconsciously looking towards the bamboo chair.
The person on the chair was sitting with a velvet blanket in his arms, his gaze fixed on the place where the sound came from in the distance, and then
Lay down again.
The bamboo chair swayed, making a slight sound.
There is a fight. Li Tang walked up to her side.
"Um." What does it have to do with me? Sleep! Sleep! It's so noisy!
Aren't you going to have a look?
We are just guests. What's there to see? I've never seen a fight! Chu Zheng said in a casual tone, "Do your duty as a guest."
"..." You are so honest!
The sound grew louder and louder, clearly coming towards them.
Xiao Zhu and the valley Master hurried past their courtyard. Li Tang looked at Chu Zheng, frowned slightly, and walked outside the courtyard.
Not far away stood a group of people. The children of Baiying Valley surrounded the valley master and stood on the other side.
"Who has the nerve to venture into the Baiying Valley at night?" The valley master couldn't contain his anger and almost jumped and roared.
"Master of the Valley, I've heard that you don't see any guests. You'll only offend more." The other party bowed their hands and said in a rather urgent tone, "Please forgive me, Master of the Valley."
What do you want to do? The valley master snorted coldly.
"Please, Master of the Valley, come to the rescue." "
"Breaking into my Baiying Valley, you still want me to save you?"
"Master of the Valley, I have no choice but to do so. I am eager to save someone. Please forgive me, Master of the Valley."
"Baiying Valley has its own rules. The quota for this year is already full." The valley master was very dissatisfied. Not to mention that the quota was full, even if it wasn't, he wouldn't rescue it.
"Master of the Valley, it's my fault to break into the valley. I'll accept any punishment from the Master. Please do come to my rescue, Master of the Valley."
Li Tang was so absorbed that suddenly he felt there was an extra person beside him.
He glanced sideways and saw Chu Zheng, with her hands crossed over her chest, leaning against the courtyard gate, looking over there indifferently.
Wasn't she uninterested just now? Why are you up again?
The leader of Baiying Valley was a strange person. Chu Zheng made an exception by smashing him with a spirit stone. But at this moment, this group of people just kept piling up the benevolence and righteousness of a doctor on the leader, promising that if the leader saved someone, they would surely offer a generous reward.
What if it can't be saved?
The valley master was so foolish that he raised his hand to make a gesture. A bamboo grove appeared out of nowhere among them, and then the group of people vanished.
"I'm so angry!"
"Master of the Valley, we've made an exception before. Why...?" Xiao Zhu was somewhat puzzled.
Humph. That person is a demon. Are they demons? The Lord of the Valley argued forcefully, "I heal twelve people every year. The ones I treated before weren't humans, so it's not an exception. Do you understand?"
Xiao Zhu nodded hurriedly, indicating that she was taught: "Ming..." Understood.
The Valley master led Xiaozhu away. Chu Zheng glared at Li Tang and said, "He just scolded you for not being human."
Li Tang: "..."
He wasn't a human being originally. In their eyes, he was just a monster.
Although I know it in my heart, I still feel very unhappy when it's said out loud.
Li Tang exuded a low air pressure all over her body. With a sullen expression, she turned and went in.
-
Girl, what are you doing here? Xiao Zhu looked at Chu Zheng, who had been standing outside the bamboo grove and posing for half an hour, very puzzled.
Were those people in there last night? Chu Zheng pointed inside.
No. They were driven out of the valley. Xiao Zhu explained with a smile.
"Um." Chu Zheng nodded calmly and seriously.
Then Xiaozhu watched Chuzheng turn around and disappear before her eyes as she walked with the wind.
Xiao Zhu scratched her head. So what was she doing standing here for so long?
From the mouths of the other children in the valley, Chu Zheng learned that the group of people had not left but stayed outside the valley. She heard that one of them had been kneeling for a day and a night, begging the valley Master to save them.
The person they were trying to save was a girl named Song Fenglan.
This name is very familiar to the original owner - Lin Chen's beloved.
Song Fenglan, who occupied the original owner's body and eventually even her soul became her weapon.
That night, she indeed heard it right. Lin Chen was still alive... However, the plot seems a bit off. At this time, Song Fenglan had just been injured and begged the master of Baiying Valley to heal her.
When the original owner met Lin Chen, Song Fenglan had already been to Baiying Valley.
So, Lin Chen learned that the way to have Song Fenglan use the original owner's body might have been obtained from Baiying Valley.
Chu Zheng had no doubt at all that the Valley Master of Bai Ying Valley would tell Lin Chen that this Valley master didn't look like someone who was just and upright and wouldn't save anyone who was not of his kind.
"Ouch..."
Xiao Zhu ran in a hurry and bumped into Chu Zheng head-on.
Chu Zheng reached out to support his shoulder. Xiao Zhu bowed and bent over, saying, "Hello, miss."
"Are you out of the valley?"
The master of the Valley asked me to invite people from outside the valley in. Little Bamboo Road.
"Is he going to save people?"
I don't know this. Xiao Zhu was at a loss. He was just following the instructions of the Valley Master. They couldn't figure out what the Valley Master was thinking.
Perhaps one second I wanted to save you, but the next second I didn't want to.
"You go later. I'll go and see the Valley master."
"Ah?"
Chu Zheng patted him on the shoulder seriously and said, "Wait here."
Xiao Zhu stared blankly at Chu Zheng and nodded as if by some strange force.
