Chapter 718: Chapter 712: Blood Sacrifice

Jin Zijin sighed, "I don’t know much about the Blood Sacrifice Soul Transfer Array, which I learned a few days ago when my master was in Beijing and lucid enough for me to get some information from him."

He had always been uneasy about Gu Youyou’s state of existence. Hence, when he had the chance, he asked Tian Jizi but unexpectedly, the true purpose of the Blood Sacrifice Soul Transfer Array was indeed not any sort of ascension into the daylight, but... to plunder another’s body.

Therefore, when Yu Jizi chose Jin Ziyuan to help the emperor conquer the world while keeping the Fifth Prince and the many forces of the Third and Fifth Princes from the past covertly intact, it probably wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed on the surface.

"So what?" Gu Youyou had a bad premonition.

"So..." Jin Zijin really didn’t want to frighten her, but he felt it was better to inform her in advance.

"So, the blood sacrifice of the medicine man should take place before the election of the State Preceptor."

Gu Youyou felt a chill in her heart. The evil old society and blood sacrifice—just these two words were terrifying enough. It couldn’t be the kind that drains a person’s blood completely, could it?

It was too cruel, especially since she was one of the sacrificial offerings.

"Roughly when?" Gu Youyou’s teeth chattered as she managed to utter the question.

Jin Zijin pondered for a moment, sitting on the boat, staring at the gently rippling lake with a chill in his eyes.

He said in a low voice, "It should be because the medicine man is not ready yet, otherwise he would not ignore you guys."

’You guys’ referred to Gu Youyou, who obediently stayed at the Lin Residence, Jin Ziyuan who was planning a rebellion, and the one they found in Jinxiu City.

Gu Youyou bit her lip and said fiercely, "My situation didn’t come from a blood sacrifice; he can dream of succeeding. Even if it really comes to that day, I’d rather smash my head to death than let him have his way."

Jin Zijin held her tight and gently patted her back, saying, "You won’t have such a day, since his medicine man isn’t ready yet, then..."

Before he finished speaking, they heard the sound of oars moving through the water from the lotus patches ahead, and they stopped talking, focusing carefully instead.

Listening to the sound, they guessed that the boat on the opposite side was still quite a distance away. Gu Youyou whispered to Jin Zijin, "It wouldn’t be good for them to see us like this, hard to explain. Let’s quickly row back."

Jin Zijin nodded slightly, hmm’d in agreement, and began to lower the oar, rowing the boat in the direction opposite to where the sound came from.

Who knows who it is—really, even hiding in the middle of the lake doesn’t give one peace.

They hadn’t even managed to steal a quick kiss before being forced to flee.

Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin were now rowing the boat as if they were fleeing for their lives.

On the other side, another boat seemed to be tracking them, determined to catch up and find out what was afoot. Judging by the sound of the oars, there were four oars and two people rowing.

Gu Youyou, watching Jin Zijin rowing the boat with all his might in the sweltering heat, felt distressed and wanted to help, but their small boat only had two oars.

So all she could do was use a lotus leaf to fan him, while quietly panting and encouraging him in a hushed voice.

"Come on, faster, give it your all... "

Jin Zijin: "..."

Gu Youyou: "..."

Why did these words sound inappropriate?

"Shut your mouth, and fan me quickly."

Jin Zijin swore, even when he got caught stealing chickens with Yue Rujing and got caught red-handed, it wasn’t this embarrassing.

Getting caught stealing and being caught in adultery were two different concepts.

Jin Zijin had tried his best, short of using Qinggong to escape with Gu Youyou. Unfortunately, his two arms couldn’t compete with four hands, and they were still caught up.

Gu Youyou was preparing her excuse when the boat behind got closer, only to find that the people on it weren’t familiar faces from the manor she had guessed, but two strangers.
