Hearing Ru Shuang's answer, Xiao Fan wasn't surprised at all. He took out the perfectly round jade pendant left by Yue Yao from his pocket, placed it on the table, and spoke earnestly:
"Given Yin Gu's status, he must be aware of the duties of the Moon Goddess Envoy. He will help me, and once the Holy Maiden grows up, Yin Gu will surely gain even more."
Ru Shuang looked at the round jade on the table, a hint of struggle in her eyes.
She has been at the six-star Dou Zun level for many years. Her talent is naturally not bad to have been able to cultivate to this level. With her talent, it is not impossible for her to try to break through to Dou Sheng.
However, with Yin Gu behind her, she couldn't focus entirely on breaking through to the next level, which is why her strength has been stagnant all these years.
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, her resolve wavered, and a hint of attraction arose in her heart.
Given his status as the Moon Goddess Envoy, if he helps Yin Gu, there will be no need to worry about Yin Gu's future development.
Moreover, judging from the information she received from Qin Xin, Xiao Fan, apart from his identity as the Moon Goddess Envoy, possesses superior talent and temperament. To achieve such accomplishments at such a young age is no easy feat.
Judging from the other party's past behavior, they are not the type to abandon someone after using them, so...
What do you want Yin Gu to do?
Ru Shuang didn't refuse immediately, but wanted to see what this young man was planning first.
There is a play!
Xiao Fan's eyes lit up when he heard Ru Shuang's answer, and he knew that he had not made a mistake in coming to Yin Valley.
He came to Yin Valley with the intention of giving it a try.
After all, Xiao Fan was completely clueless about the situation within the Spirit Clan, and what Xun'er learned from the Ancient Clan was mostly superficial; she hadn't found anything of deeper meaning.
As a subordinate force of the Spirit Clan, the Sound Valley must have a much deeper understanding of it than ordinary people, which is why Xiao Fan chose to try his luck in the Sound Valley.
As expected, Ru Shuang didn't refuse, which meant she had this plan in mind. Thinking of this, Xiao Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and didn't intend to hide it from Ru Shuang, so he spoke directly:
"Do you know anything about the so-called Trial of the Moon Goddess?"
As Ru Shuang listened to Xiao Fan's question, she gently raised her head and said calmly, "Of course."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ru Shuang's beautiful eyes turned to Xiao Fan, and she said meaningfully, "So, you want us to help you pass the Moon Goddess Trial?"
"Ha, you really overestimate us!"
Ru Shuang stared at Xiao Fan as if he were an idiot, took a sip of hot tea, and said, "The Moon Goddess Trial is not something we can interfere with."
"Even within the Spirit Race, they cannot interfere in the trial. At most, they can exert some influence through their status as Moon Goddess Envoys. The trial grounds are located within a palace in the Spirit Realm, and can only be entered when the trial begins."
"The trials recorded in the history of the Spirit Race have always resulted in heavy casualties. Moreover, even after the trials are over, the survivors never talk about what happened during them, so the contents of the trials are never leaked."
“So strict?”
Xiao Fan frowned slightly upon hearing Ru Shuang's words, then sized her up and said, "How could even Yin Gu know such confidential information?"
Upon hearing this, Ru Shuang glanced at Xiao Fan. Realizing he had misspoke, Xiao Fan showed an apologetic expression and awkwardly changed the subject.
"Why did you change to a different kind of tea? Why not the same tea as last time? The last tea tasted better."
"Do you think Tianji Tea is as common as cabbage?"
Ru Shuang frowned and said, "This news may seem secret to you, but there is no need to hide it in the Spirit Realm. It is a fact that almost everyone knows. It's just that the Spirit Realm rarely has contact with the outside world, so no one knows about it."
Xiao Fan nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "So, does that mean the Spirit Race is always at a disadvantage when facing the Moon Goddess's Trial?"
Ru Shuang looked at Xiao Fan as if he were an idiot, wondering if he was really as exaggerated as the rumors outside the world said.
"Just because we can't say it doesn't mean we can't do it. Although the specific details of the Moon Goddess Trial are unknown in the Spirit Realm, the surviving Moon Goddess Envoys and Saintesses will naturally devise a way to deal with it."
"Unfortunately, the former Valley Master of Yin Valley became the Moon God's Envoy, so he left behind a way to deal with it."
What the hell is this called a surprise? This is what a surprise is!
Xiao Fan looked excited, and his gaze toward Ru Shuang became somewhat fiery.
Ru Shuang looked at Xiao Fan, took a sip of tea, lowered her head, and concealed the emotion in her eyes.
"Unfortunately, something unexpected happened in the valley..."
" ah?"
Then, under Xiao Fan's heartbroken gaze, Ru Shuang slowly uttered her next words.
"The Valley of Sound has survived to this day because of the presence of the Moon Goddess's messenger, but later..."
"After the passing of that senior from Yin Valley, no one from the valley has ever entered the core circle of the Spirit Realm again. In fact, their status in the Spirit Realm has dropped considerably, and in recent years, they have hardly been active in the Spirit Realm at all."
"And news from within the valley regarding the Moon Goddess's Trial..."
A hint of helplessness and pain appeared in Ru Shuang's eyes. She took a deep breath before slowly speaking.
"I initially took on two disciples. My eldest disciple was exceptionally talented, far surpassing my own abilities. I saw hope for the rise of Yin Gu in her, so I always held her to high standards. She did not disappoint me; in both talent and character, she far exceeded her peers. Just when I thought Yin Gu would flourish under her leadership, an unexpected event occurred..."
Xiao Fan listened to Ru Shuang's words and nodded slowly.
They're aligned.
To get the quest items, don't you have to complete the quest first?
It's just unclear what the situation is with this eldest disciple that Ru Shuang mentioned.
"In the history of the Spirit Race, the Moon Goddess Envoys were the Holy Maiden's personal guards, so they were all women."
At this point, Ru Shuang glanced at Xiao Fan and said, "There has never been a male Moon God Envoy."
"Forehead......"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected that the Moon Goddess Envoy would have such a secret.
Ru Shuang shook her head, ignoring Xiao Fan's astonishment, and continued, "However, later, my disciple was bewitched by a villain, developed worldly desires, and was unwilling to enter the Spirit Realm again, nor to become a Moon God's Envoy, and even..."
"She even betrayed the Valley of Sound for that bastard. But back then, I was grooming her as my successor. I entrusted everything in the valley to her, including the token of the Moon Goddess Trial. So if you want to improve before the trial, you can only retrieve the token from her."
Xiao Fan nodded slightly upon hearing Ru Shuang's words, then frowned and asked directly, "Where is your eldest disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Ru Shuang shook her head and slowly said, "After she left, I pretended that she was not my disciple. Not attacking her is already the biggest concession I've made. You should ask her for more information."
Ru Shuang's face darkened unusually, and she looked indignant. She stood up, took a step, and returned to the Sound Valley.
At the same time, a voluptuous middle-aged woman slowly stepped out of the Valley of Sound, with a purple jade flute at her waist and her embroidered shoes lightly touching the ground, landing not far from Xiao Fan.
"Qin Xin, the current Valley Master of Yin Valley, sends her greetings to Blood Lord."
Qin Xin, with a slightly chubby face, stood a few steps away and bowed solemnly to Xiao Fan.
Now that she manages the entire Yin Valley, she naturally knows how terrifying this young man is in the outside world, and therefore cannot treat him as calmly as her master.
"Uh, Palace Master Qinxin is too polite."
Xiao Fan returned the greeting, his gaze fixed on Qin Xin, and asked curiously, "I wonder about the disciple that Senior Ru Shuang mentioned..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xin hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking:
"She is my senior sister, Baili, Yin Gu Baili."
Chapter 304 The Supreme Elder Has Passed Away (Good Luck on the College Entrance Exam)
"Baili?"
Xiao Fan looked at the unfamiliar name in the parking lot with a puzzled expression. After a moment of contemplation, he realized that he had never heard of this Bai Li before.
As soon as Qin Xin finished speaking, Xiao Fan's reaction was as he expected, after all, his senior sister had always been calm and composed.
After experiencing the upheaval of that time, her personality changed quite a bit. If I hadn't found her by chance and kept an eye on her, I probably wouldn't have been able to find her now.
Qin Xin looked at Xiao Fan and slowly said:
"Back then, my senior sister and I were both under the same teacher. My senior sister's talent far surpassed mine. Originally, the position of Valley Master of Yin Valley should have been hers, but she was deceived and left Yin Valley."
"However, after leaving, during an encounter with someone from the Soul Palace, my senior sister saw through that person's cowardice and timidity. She felt guilty and ashamed to face our teacher, so she did not return to the Sound Valley."
As Qin Xin finished speaking, her tone shifted, tinged with a hint of melancholy.
"My teacher and senior sister are both the same type of person. Even though I've tried to persuade them many times, it hasn't had any effect..."
Qin Xin spoke slowly, then shook her head, gave Xiao Fan an apologetic look, and said:
"It seems that what the Blood Lord needs is in Senior Sister's hands. Senior Sister is currently living in seclusion in a valley in the Eastern Region. I will draw a map for you."
"Thank you very much, Valley Master. As for the name Blood Venerable, please do not mention it again. If you do not mind, please call me Xiao Fan."
Xiao Fan bowed to the other party, his tone carrying a hint of pleasure.
Qin Xin nodded slightly, looked at Xiao Fan and said, "Senior Sister's residence is usually set up with formations. If you go there directly without any proof, it will be almost impossible for Senior Sister to believe you, and it will be even more difficult to get anything from her."
“I can give you a token, and I need to prepare a map for a while, but... no man has ever set foot in the Valley of Sound, so... I will have to trouble you to wait here for a while.”
Hearing Qin Xin's words, Xiao Fan smiled, cupped his hands in a slight bow, and said, "It's nothing, thank you!"
Qin Xin nodded slightly, then turned and returned to the Sound Valley, leaving Xiao Fan alone in the pavilion.
Xiao Fan's gaze swept across the surrounding mountains, looking out at the scene within the Sound Valley. He had to admit that the formation in the Sound Valley was integrated into the mountains to gather spiritual energy, and even the concentration of battle qi within the mountains was much stronger than outside.
Even setting aside the rare and exotic plants that grow in the mountains, the scenery alone far surpasses that of the outside world.
Having received Qin Xin's consent, Xiao Fan was not in a hurry.
After resting for a while in the pavilion, Qin Xin's figure slowly emerged in the Valley of Sounds.
"Give!"
Qin Xin's figure landed back inside the pavilion, and she took out two items from her storage ring and handed them to Xiao Fan.
