Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 454 Refining Human Pills?

To say it's not peaceful is an understatement, Xie Changling was being conservative.

When the two arrived at Elf Valley, they were met with rivers of blood and corpses strewn everywhere.

The empty houses were surrounded by red.

Xie Changling raised an eyebrow.

"The whole family was wiped out; they acted very quickly."

Despite the devastation in Elf Valley, Yan Nanfei showed no emotion. She walked quietly through the valley.

"Do you know the inside story?"

Xie Changling shook his head and carefully looked around. "I heard some rumors a few days ago. You know, my Xie family doesn't have a hobby of prying into other people's secrets."

Yan Nanfei: "I don't know."

Xie Changling: "..."

His lips twitched slightly. "Is it necessary to be so blunt?"

That being said, Luo Yi is only about twenty years old. Isn't he afraid of seeing so many corpses and blood?

Yan Nanfei didn't speak.

The young man had no choice but to continue.

"No one survived in the valley. All the precious jade and high-grade medicinal herbs were looted. The person who wiped out the family was quite greedy."

Greed means leaving clues for others.

Yan Nanfei didn't care whether the people who wiped out her family were greedy or not. Her gaze searched the valley thoroughly, and even Xie Changling noticed something was amiss with her focused expression.

"What are you looking for?"

Yan Nanfei: "Human."

"people?"

The young man paused.

What brings the people from Elf Valley here?

Xie Changling was about to speak when he heard Yan Nanfei's voice rise slightly.

"found it."

He looked and saw a woman standing ten meters in front of him, pulling a woman covered in blood from a pile of corpses.

Upon seeing her familiar face, Yan Nanfei's face revealed an expression of "I knew it."

This puzzled Xie Changling.

What do you need a corpse for?

Judging from her breath, the woman was definitely dead.

Yan Nanfei put the person into his storage bag, clapped his hands, and prepared to return. "I'll naturally have my uses. Xie Changling, keep your mouth shut."

The young man frowned.

"Luo Yi, let me remind you, using corpses to refine pills goes against the natural order, and it's not good for you or for Luo San and the others."

He couldn't think of any other reason for coming specifically to find a corpse except for alchemy.

Refining elixirs from corpses?

Yan Nanfei paused, turned her head and looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot, "In your heart, am I this kind of evil cultivator?"

Is he not mentally ill?

"Moreover, although I am familiar with some pharmacology, I do not know how to make pills myself."

Xie Changling pursed his lips, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and quickly tried to make amends with a grin.

"That's not what I meant, of course, but Luo Yi, what are you doing with the corpses of the Elf Valley disciples?"

Luo Yi is very strange.

Xie Changling knew this from the first day he met her.

This person seems to have an endless stream of tasks; every time I try to find her, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Wait, a mission?

Xie Changling remembered the woman who had been refining pills for the past half month.

Could this corpse be what her so-called master needs?

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

Xie Changling asked aloud,

"Luo Yi, you're never here when I look for you. Is it because you've gone to complete the tasks your master assigned you?"

Yan Nanfei nodded, "Yes."

really.

Xie Changling's curiosity was piqued.

"Who is your master? How could someone as talented as you be willing to work for her?"

"Did she teach you all those skills?"

Yan Nanfei gave a selective answer.

"Ah."

Xie Changling remained silent.

His narrow eyes were deep in thought.

Luo Yi is very strong. It can be said that within the same class, she is completely invincible with her strange movement techniques.

Even Luo San exuded the same aura as Luo Yi.

Xie Changling could confirm that the cultivation techniques they practiced should have originated from the same source.

Such a powerful assassin-like technique was unheard of on the mainland, even with the Xie family's intelligence network, which shows how deeply it was hidden.

His ambition to recruit talented individuals has come to an end at this point.

However, where there's a will, there's a way.

"Luo Yi, why don't you break your contract with your master and come to me? Our Xie family will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

Xie Changling started undermining the foundation again.

Yan Nanfei rejected him as always.

"I appreciate your kindness, Young Master, but my master and I are sworn brothers, and I will not betray her."

Xie Changling sighed and picked at his ear. "Here we go again, the exact same answer. Even if you're just trying to brush me off, can you at least not repeat every single word?"

He had heard those words four times already, word for word!

Yan Nanfei flew through the air, listening to Xie Changling's dissatisfied smile as he said, "Well, you've said that four times without changing a single word!"

Xie Changling: "..."

The young man's lips twitched. "Fine, I can't argue with you."

After leaving the Elf Valley, Yan Nanfei bid farewell to Xie Changling, saying, "Let's stop here. I'll leave the rest of the journey to you, Young Master Xie."

Xie Changling paused, "You really aren't going back to MixC?"

Yan Nanfei: "I'm not going. I need to go find my master."

The young man tentatively asked, "Can't I go?"

The woman shook her head, her words leaving no room for negotiation, "What follows is a sect mission, Young Master Xie, you should not get involved."

Sect mission?
