Chapter 765: Chapter 375 Luoxue Finally Descends_2

In front of outsiders, she is Dugu Luoxue.

She is still the representative figure who advocates the path of abstinence.

Not the slightest vulgarity is permitted.

The woman silently recited the Meditation Mantra, her fingertips brushing through the strands of her damp hair, as if tidying her thoughts while attempting to ease the ripples within her heart.

Once everything settled, Dugu Luoxue lay back down on the bed again.

Instinctively, she reached for Jiang Shouzhong’s robe.

Clutching it tightly to her chest.

The surroundings were utterly silent, leaving only the sound of breathing and the echo of heartbeats, permeating the space with an indescribable subtle atmosphere.

"Who am I really..."

Dugu Luoxue let out a slight sigh.

...

Qu Hongling woke from her dreams to find Dugu Luoxue seated before the vanity, combing her hair.

The faint morning light streamed through the lattice window, softly draping her in a veil of golden silk.

The young girl rubbed her groggy eyes, gazing at the woman who never failed to stun regardless of the moment, and sincerely praised, "Luoxue Sis, you truly seem like a fairy from the heavens."

At times, Qu Hongling would see traces of Ye Sis in Dugu Luoxue.

But by comparison, Dugu Luoxue was more serene, more pure.

Certainly, she was also more reassuring.

Back in Anhe Village, even though Ye Sis firmly rejected Jiang’s romantic advances, Qu Hongling still worried, afraid that Ye Sis might suddenly change her mind and compete for her man.

However, when facing this equally stunning Luoxue Sis, she felt no concern that she’d ever develop anything with Jiang Shouzhong.

Perhaps it was due to her commitment to the path of abstinence, or perhaps it was because of her apparent indifference toward men, embodying a kind of "apathy" that brought forth a profound sense of security.

"Sect Master Qi was here just now."

Dugu Luoxue spoke softly, "Through the Nine Divinations Method, he speculated that Jiang Mo was likely transported elsewhere due to the Taoist Ancestor’s opportunities. As for the specific location, he couldn’t determine."

Elsewhere?

Qu Hongling furrowed her delicate brows.

Recently, Zhenxuan Mountain’s disciples had thoroughly searched every location, yet they still couldn’t find Jiang Shouzhong or the Taoist Ancestor’s remains.

Even Qi had already given up on the search.

Only she was still tirelessly searching.

At first, Qu Hongling was exceedingly anxious and enraged, her fury causing injuries to several Zhenxuan Mountain disciples.

Later, under Dugu Luoxue’s soothing words, she gradually calmed down.

As Dugu Luoxue analyzed, from another perspective, the inability to locate them actually implied that Jiang Shouzhong wasn’t in danger. It was highly likely he had obtained some kind of opportunity and temporarily "vanished."

As the Sect Master of the Sky Demon Sect, Qu Hongling had witnessed many extraordinary phenomena, and she herself had once been "transported" to a mysterious place.

For instance, that elusive Nether Spring back then.

Thus, upon hearing Sect Master Qi’s speculation, she didn’t harbor significant doubts.

But since Jiang was in another place, was there still a need for her to stay here and wait?

The girl hesitated slightly.

She lifted her head to gaze at the cold yet elegant Dugu Luoxue, her voice crisp and sweet, "Luoxue Sis, where do you plan to go?"

Dugu Luoxue was silent for a moment, then shook her head slightly, "I don’t know either."

Originally, she had planned to return to the Wanshou Mountains and Rivers.

As she had already received news that Emperor Zhou Chang was dead and the Capital was plunged into chaos, the Wanshou Mountains and Rivers, with its intricate connection to the court, would undoubtedly be affected.

Hence, she needed to go and oversee the situation.

But now, with no news of Jiang Mo, she couldn’t rest easy.

Most importantly, she was gradually embracing the Path of Falling Desire, reluctant to return to that familiar place... precisely because she didn’t want to stain that Holy Land.

"How about we go look for Jiang together?"

The girl lifted the thin quilt, got out of bed, and ran to Dugu Luoxue, clasping her slightly cool jade-like hand.

"Luoxue Sis, even if Jiang should be safe, there’s always a slim chance otherwise. He’s your only disciple, and if something happens to him, wouldn’t you, as his master, be devastated?"

Dugu Luoxue smiled faintly and raised her finger to tap the girl’s nose, "What little scheme are you brewing now, you rascal?"

Qu Hongling chuckled awkwardly, "I simply want someone accompanying me. Otherwise, looking alone would be too lonely, and I genuinely enjoy being with Luoxue Sis."

Dugu Luoxue pondered with difficulty, "But we don’t know where Jiang Mo is, how would we search?"

"The Taoist River Map knows," the girl said.

Dugu Luoxue was stunned.

Qu Hongling’s eyes glimmered mischievously, "Jiang is the master of the Taoist River Map, so he’s bound to sense it. Therefore, Luoxue Sis, you understand what I mean, right?"

Dugu Luoxue looked at the girl with a strange expression.

Suddenly, she recalled that over these past days, during her search for Jiang Shouzhong, Qu Hongling lingered the longest in the forbidden areas with formations.

She had initially thought the girl was simply searching for him.

But now it seemed that this rascal had long been probing in secret.

Harboring intentions to seize the Taoist River Map all along.

Qu Hongling lowered her voice and softly said, "Luoxue Sis, I know where the Taoist River Map is hidden. With our combined skills, we can surely steal it."

Dugu Luoxue did not respond.

She wasn’t opposed to seizing it.

After all, it was indeed Jiang Mo’s possession, and as his master, she had vowed from the start that even if the Taoist Ancestor’s test was unsuccessful, she would forcibly take it back.

But she was apprehensive about another matter instead.

Why had Yan Changqing returned the Taoist River Map to Zhenxuan Mountain?

The reason was that the Taoist River Map within Jiang Shouzhong’s body was ultimately a flawed item. To harness its true power, it required the Taoist Ancestor’s approval for activation.

Moreover, she had recently examined many texts in the Book Collection Pavilion.

A few contained records about the Taoist River Map.

Without the Taoist Ancestor’s approval, the map’s functionality and power would only amount to thirty percent of its potential.

But if activated successfully, the Taoist River Map’s functionality and power would be astounding beyond imagination.

Yan Changqing placed immense hope on Jiang Shouzhong.

If they forcibly seized the Taoist River Map now, would their well-intentioned actions actually ruin it?

This was something Dugu Luoxue dared not gamble on.

Qu Hongling wasn’t foolish; she naturally understood what worried Dugu Luoxue, pursing her pink lips as she remarked:

"Since Sect Master Qi said Jiang received the Taoist Ancestor’s opportunity, it indicates he’s already been acknowledged by the Taoist Ancestor, so taking it early wouldn’t affect anything.

Additionally, let me say something unpleasant—everything in the world follows the principle of causality.

As the ancients said: ’What’s destined in fate will come to pass; what’s not destined cannot be forced.’ What belongs to Jiang, even if the Taoist Ancestor does not acknowledge it, will still belong to him. Whether we seize it or Jiang claims it himself, what’s his will never be lost..."

Her words were like a light piercing a foggy dream.

Destiny calls forth opportunity...

The girl’s remarks made Dugu Luoxue realize she had indeed trapped herself within confusion.

Jiang Shouzhong must have already earned the Taoist Ancestor’s acknowledgment, that much was certain. Since he had gained approval, it indicated the Taoist River Map had already been activated.

Their seizure of it ultimately would have no impact.

Understanding this, Dugu Luoxue resolved herself.

She smiled warmly at the radiant girl before her and softly said, "You’re quite perceptive, little one."

Qu Hongling arched her brows slightly, "So then, shall we... strike?"

Dugu Luoxue thought for a moment and spoke frankly to the girl, "Due to some unique circumstances, my strength has deteriorated significantly. With my current capabilities, I can merely manage to entangle Sect Master Qi. The others would be up to you to handle..."

Qu Hongling interrupted her, patting her chest with a grin, "Don’t worry, Luoxue Sis, I’ve got a plan."

While speaking, the girl’s gaze happened to land on the pile of clothing in the bamboo basket nearby, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Aren’t those Jiang’s clothes?"

Dugu Luoxue maintained her calm, "I was just planning to wash them."

"Let me wash them," the girl offered.

Before Dugu Luoxue could protest, the girl picked up the man’s garments. Suddenly, she sniffed lightly and wrinkled her nose, "Huh? A strange smell—seems like..."

"It’s infused with Zhenxuan Mountain’s special soap liquid."

Dugu Luoxue explained.

As someone who had shared marital relations with Jiang, Qu Hongling was quite familiar with such scents.

Yet, with no one else present in the room aside from herself and Dugu Luoxue, and given the fragrance carried a peculiar distinction, upon hearing the explanation, the girl didn’t think further about it.
