Chapter 244: One Life for One Face
The heavy door opened, and a little boy in green looked at the figure kneeling upright in front of him.
Seven days and seven nights had passed, and the man's body had not moved at all, and he did not seem to want to give up.
The little boy didn't know what he wanted from the Pavilion Master.
It was strange that the Pavilion Master neither agreed to his request nor kicked him out.
"Young master, our Pavilion Master wants you to come in." said the little boy.
Su He's expression, which hadn't changed for seven days, finally showed signs of movement.
He wanted to stand up, but because he had been kneeling for too long and had been forcing himself to stand, he now had no internal strength.
This behavior was torture for him.
I lifted one leg, my lower body ached and I nearly fell.
The little boy who came to call him kindly extended his hand to help him.
Su He did not refuse, and even said for the first time: "Thank you."
The little boy looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old, and smiled shyly when he was thanked.
"You're welcome. Let me help you in," said the little boy.
Su He brushed his hand away: "No need."
After he stood firmly, he said to the child, "Please lead the way."
"Oh, okay, then follow me." said the little boy.
Su He followed behind him, and every step he took felt like needles pricking his feet. It wasn't fatal, but it was really uncomfortable.
Despite this, Su He had no intention of stopping.
He followed the little boy to an alchemy room.
After entering, the smell of medicine that hit Su He in the face reminded him of Song Yu again.
There is always a faint herbal smell on Song Yu.
"Master, I brought the person here." The little boy shouted inside.
"Ji'er, go out first, close the door, and guard the door. No one is allowed to come in without my order." A deep voice came from behind the alchemy furnace.
"Yes, Master." The little boy was extremely obedient. He turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Then he stood guard at the door, not moving an inch.
After closing the door, the light in the room was not as bright.
Su He looked around, but before he could see clearly, he heard someone say, "The character of the Qingling Sect Leader is truly incomparable to ordinary people."
Su He didn't say much, but just looked in the direction of the alchemy furnace.
After a while, I heard again: "However, what the leader is looking for is not easy. It goes against the will of heaven and goes against the will of heaven. The price you have to pay is not something you can easily bear."
When Su He heard this, his eyes lit up: "You mean, as long as I pay the price, it's okay?"
"Is that what I mean? How come you don't understand what I'm saying!" A figure rushed out from behind the furnace.
He was wearing white clothes and had long hair, which was scattered freely on his shoulders. His face was white and beardless, and he looked so tender that water could be squeezed out of it. His round eyes showed a cleverness, and he didn't look like a "sage" at all.
If you were standing in the market, you would never imagine that this was the legendary leader of the Tianji Pavilion who could predict destiny.
"I'm talking to you..." He walked quickly to Su He.
She stared at him with her eyes wide open, opened her mouth, and wanted to scold him, but she met Su He's calm eyes.
The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
Finally, he sighed helplessly, "I think you should be the same. Since you have been given the opportunity and your life is not over, you should live well. It was just a fleeting love affair that was not meant to be. Why bother to cling to it?"
When Su He heard him say this, his face turned cold, but he remembered something and suppressed the retort that was about to come out of his mouth.
“But please, sir, tell me the method,” Su He said.
The Pavilion Master narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Su He, and said, "Are you cursing me in your heart?"
Su He's eyes flickered slightly, neither denying nor admitting.
The Pavilion Master said, "You are truly determined. But if I tell you that even if you try your best, you can only see her once, and only once, and the price you pay is your life, are you willing to make this deal?"
Su He was stunned. One life in exchange for one side?
"Please tell me, sir." Su He fell to his knees on the ground.
The Pavilion Master originally thought that Su He would hesitate for at least a moment, but unexpectedly, the next moment, he knelt directly in front of him with a resolute expression on his face.
"Did you hear clearly? If you see her once, you will die. Are you willing to do that?" The Pavilion Master was afraid that what he said was not clear enough, so he reminded again.
Su He remained undeterred: "Yes."
"Why are you so persistent? What's the point of doing this?" The Pavilion Master was very puzzled.
Su He did not explain. One life in exchange for one side, anyone who is not a fool can know that this is a pure loss.
So what if we meet once? Meeting once won’t change anything.
But Su He just wanted to see Song Yu again.
Rather than living alone in endless loneliness, it is better to resolve the obsession in your heart and die.
Song Yu is his biggest obsession for the rest of his life, and also his only obsession.
The Pavilion Master didn't hear the answer, but he understood from Su He's expression.
He also wanted to persuade Su He that why he cared so much about Song Yu, but Song Yu might not feel the same way as him.
Perhaps the other person has already started a new life and has forgotten him.
But facing Su He now, he couldn't say these words no matter what.
"Okay, I'll help you, but I'm not completely sure. If you succeed, you can see him. If you fail, not only will you not be able to see him, you will also die." The Pavilion Master finally softened his heart.
Su He's eyes became more determined when he heard this: "Thank you!"
Then he stood up directly, and the Pavilion Master saw this and said, "However, I still need three things.
Boneless Relic, Qitian Sword, Golden Armor."
After the Pavilion Master finished speaking, Su He's expression changed slightly.
The Pavilion Master glanced at him, then looked past him at the sword behind him and said, "I know that the sword behind you is the Qitian Sword. As for the Boneless Relic, there is only one such sword in the world.
It has been absorbed by Ye Xu, and the golden armor has also been used by him."
Upon hearing this, Su He's body swayed and his face turned pale.
Seeing this, the Pavilion Master spoke again leisurely: "You don't have to be so disappointed. Since I said I would help you, I will find a replacement. As for the golden armor, you should know what it is now.
However, it takes the snake 500 years to form an inner elixir, and one elixir is already a priceless treasure.
It may not be easy to find it again, you have to go to the dense forest in the southwest yourself, but now you have lost all your internal energy, and this trip may be a life-or-death journey."
"I'll go." Su He said without hesitation.
The Pavilion Master said, "Don't worry, I'll find a helper for you."
"No need." Su He said.
The Pavilion Master didn't try to persuade him, but simply said, "That's fine, but if you're killed, I won't bother to help you with the rest of your affairs."
Su He hesitated for a moment.
Upon seeing this, the Pavilion Master snorted complacently: "Hmph!" You little bastard, you take it so easily.
Su He stayed in Tianji Pavilion temporarily, waiting for the helpers invited by the Pavilion Master.
The Pavilion Master wants to make something to replace the boneless relic, which requires 99 pieces of natural treasures from the world to be refined.
"Things can't be given away for free." The Pavilion Master said, "As the saying goes, even brothers should settle accounts clearly, and what's more, we are not brothers.
A thousand ounces of gold, not a cent less."
Su He didn't even frown when he heard the offer.
