But before Mingyue could make any decision, her master returned.

"Mingyue, let\'s go; she agrees to have a talk with you."

"Alright," Mingyue replied as she followed her master, deciding to think about Lianhua later.

It didn\'t take long for her to reach the village.

To her surprise, the area was surrounded by a wall made of stone; Vesa also told her there were many arrays carved on it, with the majority being many types of illusion arrays.

Reaching the gate that was made from solid wood, she saw two people standing in front.

Different from the people she had met before, they wore colorful clothes with tribal patterns; some also had accessories like feathers on their heads.

"Welcome to Blue Cloud Village. Follow me; the high priestess is already waiting for you," said one of the men guarding the gate.

He didn\'t hold any weapon, but with many arrays in place, MingYue knew they were not defenseless.

Walking through the gate, she was greeted with a gravel-like road, but the stones were smooth and not sharp. It also felt elastic when she stepped on it, giving her a weird sensation.

If Alex were here, he would have told her this was a rubber-gravel mix and felt excited about it. This means rubber exists in her world and can be used to produce many things to sell to the populace, effectively raising their wealth and popularity and giving them an edge to compete with the established chamber of commerce.

Looking around the area, she could see many buildings with unique aesthetics, making her even more sure they were from another world since any city or village she had come across so far had similar styles.

The houses were round, made from wood, with roofs thatched. Walking through the area, she was greeted with suspicious gazes from the villagers; it was clear they didn\'t trust her at all.

She then passed by an open field with many seating areas; in the middle, there were many logs gathered, probably used as a bonfire. Moving forward, another building appeared in her eyes.

It was the largest building in the village; while others were made of wood, this one was made from something like mortar.

In front of the building, her master stopped, "This is where the high priest lives; other than those called by her, no one can enter, so I will wait for you here."

MingYue gave a nod; inside, she met with Lian Fang, now wearing simple clothing.

"So, you are really her student," she said as she looked at Mingyue\'s real face.

"Yes, have you seen me before?"

"A pic of you from one of my aunt\'s reports."

"I see. Well, should we get to it?"

"Before that, I need to ask you to sign a blood oath with me; the content is simple: what happened here? You cannot tell anyone else."

\'Cannot tell anyone? Well, that will work for others, but not me.

Even if the blood oath is strong enough, Vesa will hear everything, and so does Lianhua,\' Mingyue thought, but she had no plan to tell them this, nor did she plan to share the information other than probably Alex since the matter would be related to potential expansion of the sect.

"Sure, no problem."

Lian Fang nodded; a contract appeared in her hand. After carefully reading over it, she signed it with her blood.

"Follow me," Ling Fang said.

Seeing the small body from the back, Mingyue couldn\'t help but feel curious. "I heard some story about the clan from your aunt. How old are you?"

Ling\'s small shoulders shivered to hear the word; it was only for a moment, but it didn\'t escape Mingyue\'s eyes. She paused for a moment, then said, "Mind your own business."

"Alright, if you say so, I am just wondering if they really die or not since the ritual intrigues me; depending on the situation, I may be able to reverse it and also find the cure," Mingyue said, trying to bait her to gain more edge in their negotiation.

Lin Fang stopped in her steps, "They are dead, so what cure? A cure from death?" She replied coldly without looking back at Mingyue, but despite her voice, Mingyue could read her emotion thanks to Vesa.

[Target feeling: sadness, hurt, and hopelessness]

\'Mingyue, her story is quite similar to ours, although hers is worse. I cannot imagine how much weight her small body carries, all those family lives sacrificed, putting their hope in her.

At least in my case, I can often express my emotions by calling them greedy, but for her, all the family wants is to break the curse,\' LinHua said.

Mingyue frowned as she had never thought of it like that, but she didn\'t like talking about this topic. Ignoring Lianhua, she replied, "A cure from your family curse."

"You!? A cure for this curse? If you were not my aunt\'s disciple, I would have already killed you now by those words alone, but I don\'t think your current cultivation realm makes you invincible."

Mingyue\'s lips curled into a smile; she started walking closer to Lin Fang. "Let me prove it to you. I just need a drip of your blood to find out more information."

"A drip of my blood? What is it for?" Lin Fang frowned.

She felt hesitant since she had heard there exists a weird technique that can curse someone only from their blood. She knew this because her Calan had gone far and wide looking for any information about anything related or similar to curses.

"If you\'re worried, I can return it afterward. I just need to touch it once. As you said, you are not afraid of me, so what will you lose even if you do this?

Isn\'t it worth taking a risk to check if you have any hope or not?"
