Chapter 186: Chapter 185: Wonderful Method

"I remember the last time you wrote to me asking to check on her, the daughter of an ordinary farming family from Lotus Village of the Gu Family, chosen by the people of Xuanzong because she was a girl of the Four Pillars Pure Yin. The people Xuanzong picks don’t care about the other person’s background; it should have nothing to do with her real identity.

As for the Gu Family... the Gu Family has been farmers in this village for generations, nothing special about them. The only thing special is that her maternal Lin Family produced a Top Scholar more than ten years ago, just when the new emperor ascended the throne and was cultivating his power everywhere. This Lin Qinghe was indeed fortunate, just happened to be chosen. He is now a First Rank Great Scholar in the imperial court; it’s not impossible that someone might be targeting him because of this.

It’s just that... this village girl was chosen by Xuanzong eleven years ago to start cultivating Yin, and eleven years ago, Lin Qinghe was of no use to anyone, so why would..."

Both immortals had serious expressions, and Jin Zijin didn’t speak. After a while, the man in white spoke again, "A Pure Yin Body girl is not so easy to find, and to find one of the right age is even harder. Moreover... looking at her handwriting, she could not have achieved this without over ten years of practice—such a woman used in place of an ordinary village girl would be too great a loss both emotionally and rationally. If you suspect she has been switched, I find it unlikely!"

Jin Zijin didn’t deny it, which was precisely what he couldn’t figure out.

From inside the clothing on the rock by the shore, Jin Zijin pulled out another piece of coarse cloth, a prescription that Gu Youyou had written last time.

The man in white took the cloth and after looking at the prescription, his eyes were wide with shock.

His pupils dilated, his face incredulous.

"This... This handwriting is the same, all from her hand?"

"Correct! She used it for herself," Jin Zijin said in a low voice.

By the moonlight, the man in white rubbed his eyes, then looked intently again.

After a long while, sounds of admiration came from the man in white within the empty mountain forest.

"Brilliant, truly brilliant! This prescription is exactly what’s needed to counteract the extreme yin poison of Xuanzong. Our Tianzong sect has thought of many methods to no avail. I would never have thought, this prescription could be used in such a way. Zijin, has the poison in her body been resolved?"

Jin Zijin spoke indifferently, "If it were an ordinary person afflicted with this cold poison, this prescription might’ve already cured them. But she has a Pure Yin Body; how could such poison be so easily resolved? She’s only used this prescription to suppress the poison inside her body."

"Then who exactly is she? A person with such skills cannot possibly be that daughter of the Gu Family," the man in white said, suddenly agitated.

Jin Zijin didn’t answer; he couldn’t answer.

The silent night sky fell back into a lull, the man in white holding the two pieces of ordinary coarse cloth, his fists getting tighter.

Time passed, and Jin Zijin started to feel a chill; only then did he move in the cold spring water, getting up to put on dry clothes.

"Leave this matter to you, investigate!"

He gently dropped these words and began to meander toward the thatched cottage halfway up the mountain.

The man in white gave a wry smile and said in a low voice to Jin Zijin’s departing figure, "Investigate? Easy for you to say; you’re with her all day, why don’t you go investigate?"

This night was destined not to be an ordinary one.

Gu Youyou ran off in a huff, someone who hadn’t been seen for years also showed up, and...

Jin Zijin sat up from the bed, his gaze falling on the window.

In the moonlight, the cloaked man cast a long shadow, imprinted on the paper-covered window.

"Come in, I’m alone," Jin Zijin said calmly.
