Chapter 112 No matter the final outcome, he will not give up.
Jing Shu hadn't expected the two to think like this. Hearing their decision, he couldn't help but glance at them a couple more times.
"Brother Jing, our training will be all about being carefree. Don't worry, we definitely won't hold you back," Ji Chen assured him, patting his chest.
"Whatever." Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Jing Shu stopped trying to get them to leave.
"Jing Shu, are they really alright? Could it be that they want to use us to find the artifact and then steal it?" Little Jing Shu expressed his skepticism about the two joining them.
"It's alright, I already reminded them. If they really want the artifact to recognize them as its master, they must have the ability to do so," Jing Shu said calmly.
"Why think so much? That divine artifact must die." The Nascent Soul looked indifferent; he didn't take the two of them seriously at all.
After handing the roasted pheasant to the two men, Jing Shu went into the tent.
Inside the tent, Jing Ran slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jing Shu, who had set up a barrier after entering, and said, "Xue Ning Sword said that the divine artifact is in the northern part of the Kunlun Mountains."
“Okay, we’ll go tomorrow.” Jing Shu took off his shoes and socks, sat down next to Jing Ran, and held Jing Ran’s slightly cool hands in his.
"Don't worry, Aran, we will retrieve your consciousness."
Upon hearing this, Jing Ran tilted her head slightly. "I'm not worried. I don't believe I'll just sit and wait to die after splitting my consciousness."
Jing Shu's expression froze for a moment, then he instantly relaxed, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I was overthinking it. How could Master not have a backup plan?"
Jingran released Jingshu's hand and gently tugged at his face. "Go to sleep. It knows I'm here and will definitely show up on its own."
After saying that, Jingran pressed Jingshu down and found a comfortable position to fall asleep peacefully.
Jing Shu smiled helplessly, but couldn't fall asleep; a hint of melancholy filled his eyes.
I wonder if Master will still like me this much after he regains his memories?
Jing Shu hugged Jing Ran tightly. No matter what the final outcome was, he would not let go, absolutely not.
The next morning, after Jing Shu and Shi Chuan packed up their tents, they set off with the others towards the north of the Kunlun Mountains.
"Brother Jing, are you sure we're heading north? Yunqi and I have traversed the northern part of the Kunlun Mountains several times, and we haven't found any trace of any divine artifacts," Ji Chen asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, sure."
This time, the group did not fly on their swords. Jing Shu held Jing Ran's hand and walked at the front of the group.
Ji Chen glanced at their clasped hands, lost in thought. Then he slowly walked to Shi Chuan's side and asked softly.
"Fellow Daoist Shichuan, um... is Fellow Daoist Jingran Brother Jing's Daoist partner?"
Shi Chuan was taken aback by this and quickly explained, "Of course not, why would you think that?"
"No? Then why are their hands still clasped?" Ji Chen asked, puzzled.
Shi Chuan was speechless. He couldn't tell Ji Chen about their master. The junior brother was holding their master's hand because he was worried that the divine artifact might cause trouble and take their master away alone.
How could they be mistaken for a couple?
"Anyway, it's not." Shi Chuan only said these few words before quickening his pace and moving away from Ji Chen.
Ji Chen was even more confused. Why hold hands? Don't you think it's strange for two grown men to hold hands?
Thinking this, Ji Chen glanced at Lu Yunqi.
Lu Yunqi overheard their conversation and saw Ji Chen looking at him. He then took a few steps back with a look of disgust, distancing himself from Ji Chen.
Ji Chen: "......."
"Crazy!" Ji Chen cursed under his breath, then stopped looking at Lu Yunqi.
But then, an unexpected event occurred. A bright light suddenly burst forth from the area where they were, followed by a strong sense of weightlessness that swept over them.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a white area, and they were still falling downwards.
"Lu Yunqi!"
Ji Chen instantly realized that they might have reached the hiding place of the divine artifact. Ji Chen subconsciously reached out to grab Lu Yunqi, who was even faster than him.
But during that playful fight, Lu Yunqi was too far away to catch him. Ji Chen watched as Lu Yunqi reached out his hand to him, but in the next instant, Lu Yunqi disappeared.
Not only that, Jing Shu and the other two also disappeared as they fell.
Damn it! What the hell is going on?! Ji Chen couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he gradually lost consciousness.
On the other side, the moment the feeling of weightlessness struck, Jing Shu pulled Jing Ran into his arms and held her tightly, preventing the hidden artifact from separating them.
The spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the surroundings felt very familiar to Jing Shu; this must be a secret realm created by a divine artifact.
Feeling his consciousness gradually fading, Jing Shu gently pressed his forehead against Jing Ran's forehead.
Ah Ran, Master...
After everything returned to silence, the divine artifact, which had been silent until now, let out a wild laugh from the shadows, "Hanluo! You've finally returned!"
"So what if you ran for two years! In the end, you still fell into my hands!"
The artifact was in a good mood when it saw Jing Ran, who was still being held tightly by Jing Shu even though he was unconscious. However, it did not take Jing Ran away directly.
"It's a pity that I had to create such a secret realm in order to capture you, but it's alright, consider it my mercy to let you live a few more days!"
As the artifact finished speaking, Jing Ran in Jing Shu's arms gradually disappeared. As if sensing Jing Ran's departure, Jing Shu, though unconscious, frowned slightly, seemingly struggling to wake up.
"Hmm?" The artifact suddenly looked at Jing Shu, and seeing Jing Shu struggling, it felt a sudden panic for some reason.
This person is very dangerous!
A flicker of fear crossed the artifact's mind, but it quickly hardened its resolve. This was its territory, and since this person had uncontrollable factors, it would make him get lost!
This time, it is determined to get Hanluo's body!

"Sir, look at this selection. All the goods this time were chosen from the Jiangnan region, and they are all very beautiful! How much would you like to offer?"
who? Who is speaking?
"Hmm—, not bad at all. Wow, this man is much prettier than the other girls!"
As Ji Chen's consciousness blurred, he felt his chin being lifted, and at the same time, a strong scent of rouge and powder assaulted his senses, causing him to frown involuntarily.
"That's him, that's him! I heard he's a down-on-his-luck young master! This guy's price is much higher than those girls'!"
The man smiled obsequiously and spoke in a flowery manner, but in reality, he was the only man who hadn't spent money to buy it. He had picked it up on the street, and since it looked decent, he decided to sell it along with the others.
Anyway, after selling this one order, he planned to take the money and run away. Even if this person was of noble status, he didn't recognize him and wasn't worried about being retaliated against.
