"Oh, and—"
"Ahem." Dugu Bo was about to speak when Su Cheng interrupted him, "And there are some common herbs used to treat Senior Dugu's illness."
Su Cheng didn't elaborate on Dugu Bo's specific situation.
After all, he wasn't involved and couldn't easily reveal it to others.
If he bluntly said that this Poison Douluo wouldn't live much longer, regardless of Qian Renxue's reaction, Dugu Bo would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Is that so?"
Qian Renxue felt that what he said was somewhat untrue, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
She glanced at the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in Su Cheng's hand and shook her head, saying, "I don't want this."
"Hmm?"
"I want the Acacia Heartbreak Red."
Su Cheng's heart trembled, and he hesitated again.
He felt that Qian Renxue still had some unresolved issues.
Although their behavior just now had been very intimate, they were still hiding many things from each other.
Adding to the fact that Qian Renxue's current condition is somewhat off, and the effects of the Acacia Heartbreak Red are somewhat malevolent, not to mention whether it can be picked at all, using it might not be a good thing, and there's no telling if there will be negative consequences.
Immortal herbs are different from ordinary rare and precious herbs.
The medicinal properties of these immortal herbs have been accumulated over time, countless years, and are completely different from their original nature.
Coupled with the spiritual energy they contain, each immortal herb is unique, with its own characteristics.
Even immortal herbs of the same species and type have huge differences.
Su Cheng has always maintained a cautious attitude towards the use of such medicines.
In his heart, he still prefers not to use the Acacia Heartbreak Red.
However, Qian Renxue's attitude was resolute, and he felt guilty, so he could only say, "Then let's talk about it another day."
"You want to give it to someone else?"
"?" Su Cheng was taken aback. "Why do
you say that?" "Then give it to me now."
"This..." After hesitating for a moment, Su Cheng still looked at Dugu Bo. "Senior, I'll trouble you to make the trip again."
He glanced at Qian Renxue again and said seriously, "I can give it to you, but even if you can pick it, it's best not to take it lightly. Your talent is already unparalleled. Immortal herbs are just icing on the cake for you. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it."
Dugu Bo, on the other hand, hesitated and was worried about leaving Su Cheng here alone. He
frowned and looked at him. "Are you sure?"
Su Cheng glanced at the expressionless Qian Renxue and the seemingly insignificant Porcupine Douluo.
He nodded and said, "I'm sure."
If Qian Renxue still insisted on taking him away now, then he would accept it.
After Dugu Bo learned the physical characteristics of the Acacia Heartbreak Red from Su Cheng and left, the scene became quiet for a moment.
Although his trip to the Heaven Dou Imperial City had been fraught with unexpected events, he had essentially achieved all his goals.
He had joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's team, securing a ticket to the Soul Master Competition.
He had found a powerful backer among the three upper sects; with Bibi Dong's strength suppressed during the Divine Trial, the Hall of Offerings closed, and the Clear Sky Sect sealed off, his safety was basically guaranteed as long as he didn't do anything reckless. He
also had a Title Douluo as a bodyguard.
Dugu Bo was a loner, and the two got along well; his only granddaughter attended the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which would provide many conveniences for Su Cheng's future actions.
Most importantly, he had successfully pulled Qian Renxue out of the quagmire of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Moreover, the Qian Renxue before him had clearly regained her memories from the simulated world.
While Su Cheng felt some worry about this, he was mostly delighted.
To him, Qian Renxue in the simulated world was a very special existence.
She was the only person he had ever completely trusted, and the only person he owed a debt to.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to help Qian Renxue in the real world after leaving the simulation.
But that was merely a one-sided attempt to make amends.
At that time, he saw the Qian Renxues in the two worlds as completely different.
His subsequent actions, to put it nicely, were attempts to make amends; to put it bluntly, they were just seeking psychological comfort for his past actions, without considering whether the real Qian Renxue would accept his so-called "good intentions."
But besides relief, Su Cheng now had many more questions in his mind.
If he couldn't figure out the connection between the simulated world and the real world, it would undoubtedly create obstacles for his subsequent plans in the simulation.
Unfortunately, Qian Renxue clearly didn't want to elaborate on what had happened to her.
If the bridge between the simulation and reality was memory, then why didn't Bibi Dong, whom he had killed, react?
Logically speaking, she was the biggest victim.
Unlike Qian Renxue, her situation wasn't just a matter of her divine position being shattered; it was a true annihilation of her soul and spirit.
Moreover, compared to Qian Renxue, who was confined to Heaven Dou City, Bibi Dong could obviously mobilize more resources from the Spirit Hall, making it easier for her to find him.
"The most likely unexpected factor is probably that Qian Renxue who seems to have a split personality."
Just thinking about that strange state of the black-clad Qian Renxue gave Su Cheng a headache.
These mysteries could only be addressed later by trying to understand them through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Su Cheng was unaware that while he was silently pondering, Qian Renxue on the other side was also experiencing turbulent emotions, even a battle between gods and demons, far from the calm she appeared on the surface. She didn't
even notice the several winks that the Porcupine Douluo gave her from not far away.
Seeing his young master's absent-minded expression, the Porcupine Douluo felt helpless but then didn't care. He
thought to himself, "If the person in charge doesn't have those thoughts, why should I, as a subordinate, cause trouble?"
Golden light enveloped Qian Renxue's sea of consciousness, completely suppressing her turbulent emotions.
At the same time, a thick cloud of black smoke swirled within her heart.
Like a burning black flame, but lacking its scorching heat, it was strangely cold, sending chills down one's spine.
Upon closer inspection, the smoke vaguely took on a human shape, slender and alluring, exuding a bewitching allure.
"...This isn't your true thought! What about your previous promise!"
"You're wrong, this is my thought."
"Ridiculous! Foolish!" A pair of black eyes appeared on the face of the smoke figure.
Then, the smoke condensed into a clear human form.
Qian Renxue, dressed in a jet-black crown, stood amidst the raging black flames, her face filled with murderous intent.
"Giving up such a golden opportunity for nothing, I shouldn't have let you out, I was truly out of my mind."
"I can't let him down."
"What a joke! He deceived us all his life, what's wrong with us deceiving him once?"
Qian Renxue, dressed in black, had a gloomy face, yet she was helpless.
She had indeed considered letting Su Cheng go before, but that was because Dugu Bo was present, and the consequences would be too great to prevent her from acting.
Now that Dugu Bo was gone, it was the perfect opportunity.
However, it seemed that her recent close contact with Su Cheng had given the main personality in front of her a sense of security.
At this moment, the other party's mental will was exceptionally clear and strong, and she could hardly shake it in her current state.
"What about Ning Rongrong? Are you still keeping her?!" "
Ning Rongrong has nothing to do with the teacher. That's just Ning Fengzhi's wishful thinking."
"Naive! You'll regret it!"
Not long after, Dugu Bo returned.
Because he was worried about Su Cheng, he had been running at full speed the whole way and hadn't spent too much time.
"What's the use of this flower?"
Dugu Bo asked as he handed over the Acacia Heartbreak Red.
As a Title Douluo whose title was "Poison," he was quite interested in herbs.
"Strengthening the foundation and improving one's roots,"
Su Cheng replied casually as he took the Acacia Heartbreak Red.
Seeing the slight change in his expression, he immediately understood what the other party was thinking.
"Your granddaughter can't use this; she can't pick it."
Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat displeased upon hearing this. "Boy, don't underestimate this old man. Even if she could use it, this thing is yours."
Su Cheng was taken aback, then smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I misspoke."
He took the king of immortal herbs and approached Qian Renxue. After a brief pause, he handed her the Acacia Heartbreak Red that grew on the Black Stone.
"Remember what I told you, don't rush to consume this immortal herb."
Qian Renxue stared blankly at the familiar and beautiful flower before her, her thoughts churning, somewhat dazed.
After a moment, she reached out and took it.
Seeing her put the immortal herb away, Su Cheng said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxue, after you return to the Spirit Hall this time, don't rush to accept the Angel God's inheritance."
Of course, in theory, Qian Renxue wouldn't reach the Soul Saint cultivation level within a few years and wouldn't be able to start the Angel God's trial.
But just in case, it was still necessary to remind her in advance.
It wasn't that Su Cheng coveted the mysteries of the divine inheritance, but rather that he genuinely felt the Angel God's inheritance in this world was unreliable.
He would at least wait until he had a chance to research it thoroughly before considering it.
Besides, Qian Renxue's current state was very strange; if she truly accepted the Angel God's inheritance, she might not pass the test.
The test of the seven emotions and six desires—given her mental state, she probably wouldn't be able to pass it.
"..." Qian Renxue nodded, but didn't answer, instead staring intently at him with her phoenix eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Teacher, have you regretted it?"
Su Cheng was taken aback and fell silent.
Time slowly passed.
"No."
Hearing his answer, Qian Renxue smiled and didn't say anything more.
Turning to look at the Porcupine Douluo, she regained some of her former dignified aura and said softly, "Uncle Porcupine Blood, let's go."
Then, she and the Porcupine Douluo turned and left.
"People make mistakes, but they can't regret them."
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Su Cheng touched his lips, muttering to himself absentmindedly, "Because regret is useless."
"Hey, kid, they're gone. What are you still staring at?" At that moment, Dugu Bo walked over from a short distance away. "And what about that little girl? Aren't you going to take care of her?"
He then gave Ning Rongrong, who was still unconscious, a meaningful look.
Su Cheng finally snapped out of his daze.
