Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Let’s Make It Clear
Only the willing heart can plan for the future of the Cult of the Watching Moon.
After the five elders had left, Yun Jinnian invited Chu Yu over and recounted her situation.
Chu Yu pondered for a moment before saying, "According to them, there must be a Saintess from Nanjiang in the Yun Family, whether it’s on your family’s side or the Han Family’s, it calls for an investigation!"
"It shouldn’t be someone from the Yun Family side; my ancestors were not known for their medical skills. On the other hand, my maternal grandfather and great-grandfather both had medical skills!"
"Then it must be either your maternal grandmother or your great-grandmother!"
Yun Jinnian fell silent.
No matter who it was, she now had to make a decision.
"I’ve decided to go to the Cult of the Watching Moon. I believe there will always be a way to solve this!"
Chu Yu looked at Yun Jinnian, his heart aching slightly, "You don’t have to sacrifice yourself like this, we all understand!"
"Who said I’m sacrificing myself? Look, not only did I save the Commandery Prince, but I also have unique Medical Books to look through. It’s the best of both worlds. I can also negotiate with the five elders to be the Saintess of the Cult, but I won’t be in charge, I must return to the Capital City!" Yun Jinnian paused, "I don’t think they are particularly interested in the Sacred Relic and the Spiritual Poisonous Insect; they seem to want something from me instead?"
It was just that Yun Jinnian didn’t know what that something was for the moment.
Chu Yu looked at Yun Jinnian, the girl was still the same girl, but now she showed more determination than before.
After so many experiences, her eyes no longer held only fear and caution; they had gained a hint of carefreeness and warmth.
This made her already stunning face even softer and more beautiful.
Chu Yu took a deep breath, "You had thought it through already, hadn’t you?"
Yun Jinnian didn’t speak but her silence was her response.
Chu Yu stepped forward and embraced Yun Jinnian in his arms.
Yun Jinnian’s eyes widened in shock, but after a while, she slowly closed her eyes and gently curved her lips.
"Thank you, Jinnian, thank you!" Chu Yu murmured softly.
Chu Yu was somewhat excited, his hands trembling.
From the moment he kissed Yun Jinnian and she acknowledged him, Chu Yu had become bolder.
But he was still nervous.
There he was, holding Yun Jinnian, completely overwrought, his palms sweaty.
Yun Jinnian hesitated for a long time before gently pushing Chu Yu away with her hand and speaking softly with a blush, "You are my Big Brother Chu; there’s no need for formalities with me!"
Chu Yu chuckled foolishly in response.
His eyes shone brightly as he looked at Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian gave Chu Yu a brief glance before speaking seriously, "From now on, you can’t lay a hand on me or kiss me or hug me again!"
Chu Yu nodded vigorously.
"If you do such things again, I won’t bother with you anymore!" Yun Jinnian sternly warned.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yu was immediately startled, "No, no, I won’t do it again!"
It was just that he couldn’t help himself.
"Do you mean what you say?" Yun Jinnian pressed sternly.
"A gentleman’s word is his bond; you can rest assured, I won’t do it anymore!"
Seeing Chu Yu’s promise, Yun Jinnian let the matter rest, "Good, go make arrangements then. I still need to talk things over carefully with the five elders, and you’ll help me out with some ideas!"
"Alright!"
Chu Yu sent someone to invite the five elders over, and Yun Jinnian got straight to the point, "I am willing to be your Saintess for the Cult of the Watching Moon, but I must also return to the Capital City. I am willing to leave the Sacred Relic and the Spiritual Poisonous Insect with you all!"
Upon hearing this, the five elders looked at each other in silence.
A Spiritual Poisonous Insect that has consumed the blood of a Saintess will not consume another’s blood, and without the Saintess’s blood to sustain it, the insect cannot lay eggs inside the Sacred Relic.
What they truly wanted was not the Sacred Relic or the Spiritual Poisonous Insect, but the Saintess herself!
