Chapter 170 Farewell
Bai Lan was extremely straightforward. She traced a few lines on the Nine Nether Pearl with her jade-like fingers and then handed it to Luo Sifan.
“Brother, although this Nine Nether Pearl is a supreme treasure, it does not need to recognize a master. I have placed a restriction on the pearl to dim its precious aura, so that if you take it, it will be coveted by others.”
Luo Sifan reached out and took it, and sure enough, the bead became dull and lifeless in his hand.
"Although Yu Lishuang's soul is complete, it will probably take ten days to half a month to nurture it with this pearl. Don't be impatient. After her soul is restored, she can use this pearl as her cave dwelling. Not only will she be as good as a living person, but she can also learn some soul-based techniques. Her cultivation path will be no less than that of cultivators in the mortal world."
Before Luo Sifan could ask any questions, Bai Lan quickly and clearly explained everything that had happened.
Luo Sifan was overjoyed and couldn't put down the Nine Nether Pearl. He played with it for a while before carefully putting it away.
Inside the mirage pearl, Mu Ziyun was still fast asleep. Although she looked well, Luo Sifan couldn't help but worry. Fortunately, Bai Lan was there, so Luo Sifan had an idea and carried Mu Ziyun out.
Bai Lan watched as he conjured up another beautiful woman out of thin air, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, a half-smile playing on her lips.
"Sister! Don't worry! This girl is a good friend of yours. It seems she was ambushed by a cultivator from the Soul Realm and has been in a deep sleep ever since. Since you're here, please do me a favor and take a look at her!"
Luo Sifan was provoked by her funny expression and quickly offered an explanation.
He knew Bai Lan's expressions all too well; he'd suffered too many times because of them.
Bai Lan shook her head, it was unclear whether she had listened or not. She then smoothly took over Mu Ziyun's care and examined her.
"This is a soul-binding technique; it will be troublesome for me to undo it!"
Bai Lan gently stroked Mu Ziyun's forehead and said softly.
"However, since you possess the Nine Nether Pearl, things will be much easier. Place the Nine Nether Pearl beside this woman, and when Yu Li Shuang's soul returns, the soul-crushing technique that afflicted her will naturally be absorbed away, and she will wake up healthy."
Bai Lan casually handed Mu Ziyun back, looking relaxed.
"That's wonderful! Thank you, sister!"
Luo Sifan unexpectedly solved another major problem, which increased his admiration for Bai Lan even more.
"Any other requests? Please tell me all at once. After I receive this treasure, I will go into seclusion. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again for decades to come."
Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Bai Lan urged him on.
Luo Sifan stopped being polite and simply said:
"Sister, after this parting, I'm afraid I'll have to take a few more people with me when I leave this place."
She also took out the jade pendant that Shi Zhen had given her:
"Since it's Miss, I'd also like to see her, return the jade pendant, and express my gratitude."
With a flick of her jade-like fingers, several people and a dog appeared in front of Luo Sifan.
Shu Hongyi, Lin Qianxiu, Jiang Wanfeng, Lu Juefei, Uncle Qiao, Qingyao, Little Brother, Shi Zhen.
There was even one person lying limp on the ground, unconscious; it was Ji Yuan.
Suddenly, Bai Lan swept everyone into the void, and they greeted each other in a flurry of chatter.
Only Shi Zhen knelt tremblingly before Bai Lan, his expression complex:
"Shi Zhen greets Your Excellency!"
Bai Lan waved her hand:
"My younger brother insists on seeing you. Go and talk to him about it!"
After speaking, he flicked his sleeve and dodged away.
Luo Sifan, all alone, looked at Qingyao, his younger brother, and Lin Qianxiu embracing affectionately, and walked towards Shizhen.
“Miss Shi! It’s been a long time! I begged my sister to let me see you and return this jade pendant.”
Luo Sifan smiled and handed the jade pendant back to Shi Zhen:
"I have never forgotten Miss Shi's help, but I don't know how to repay her. If you want to say something to my sister, I believe I still have some favor to do for you."
Luo Sifan now naturally understood that Shi Zhen's initial goodwill towards him was out of respect for Bai Lan. He had also witnessed the homesickness and yearning for escape of many cultivators who had been confined to this place for thousands of years, and he deliberately revealed his feelings to Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen's heart pounded, and he secretly glanced at Bai Lan's back a few times.
A deafening roar filled my ears, followed by several cold laughs from Bai Lan:
"Shizhen, since I'm in a good mood today, just tell me what you want. Remember to be mindful of your place and don't go too far! This favor will be on my younger brother's behalf."
When will Shi Zhen be so favored by Bai Lan? Hearing this, he was overjoyed and instinctively wanted to bow down in reverence.
"Thank you..."
The words had barely left his mouth when Shi Zhen suddenly realized what he was doing, turned to the bewildered Luo Sifan, and bowed respectfully:
"Young Master Lin is a man of refined elegance, and I am deeply grateful for your assistance. However, many members of the Shi family have been here for a long time, and some of us are homesick. If Young Master Lin can obtain His Majesty's permission to allow three members of my Shi family to return to their homeland, we will forever remember this great kindness!"
Before Luo Sifan could reply, Bai Lan, who was standing to the side with her hands in her sleeves, spoke up:
“Shi Zhen, for my brother’s sake, I will agree to your request. Go back and make preparations, select three people, and I will send them out of the country.”
After speaking, Bai Lan waved her hand, sending Shi Zhen, who was about to express his gratitude, back to her.
With Shi Zhen's matter settled, Luo Sifan turned around cheerfully and greeted everyone. Although he had changed a lot, Qingyao and her younger brother recognized him at a glance. Having not seen him for nearly a month, the two little cuties chatted incessantly and were incredibly enthusiastic.
Jiang Wanfeng was overjoyed to hear that he had a chance to go home, while Lu Juefei looked embarrassed and had no words to express his suffering.
"Brother Lu, do you perhaps still intend to make a living here?"
Although Luo Sifan wasn't particularly close to Lu Juefei, seeing the strange look on his face, he still asked a question.
Lu Juefei struggled for a long time, then smiled bitterly:
"Brother Lin has secured this opportunity for me to return home, and I, Lu, have received this invitation without any merit, which is truly shameful! As the saying goes, one feels timid when nearing home. I am already old, and my cultivation has stagnated. If I were to return home rashly, I fear I would not be welcomed. Speaking of cultivation, this place is more suitable for an ordinary person like me!"
Seeing that he was still reluctant to leave, and that he was still attached to the Frostbite Sword Domain, Luo Sifan did not force him and secretly informed Bai Lan.
Bai Lan remained indifferent, paying no attention to the cultivators within the Yinshuang Sword Domain, and casually sent Lu Juefei back.
Seeing that Luo Sifan and the others had finished chatting, Bai Lan called him over:
"Little brother, I don't have the time to waste chatting with you anymore. If things are settled, I'll send you out now!"
Luo Sifan looked back at everyone and nodded:
"We have no more worries, so please, sister, use your power to send us away from the country!"
Luo Sifan gave a shout, and Uncle Qiao fiercely lifted Ji Yuan up. The crowd naturally gathered together, looking at Bai Lan with various expressions.
Apart from the clueless Jiang Wanfeng, Uncle Qiao and those who knew Bai Lan's power all showed some fear.
"Let's go!"
Bai Lan showed no lingering attachment, but rather a sense of relief. She stretched out her arm, let out a cheerful shout, and the figures of the crowd faded away.
"elder sister!"
Luo Sifan suddenly remembered someone and started shouting:
"Be nicer to Yu Lianxin!"
The voices gradually faded away, disappearing into nothingness along with Luo Sifan's figure.
With a smile on her lips, Bai Lan strode towards the Lotus Treasure Realm, where the restrictions had been lifted. It was unknown whether she had taken Luo Sifan's parting words to heart.
