Chapter 414: Chapter 413: The Business of Seven Emotions Valley_1

The man in the white hat fled, Lu Yang and Zhao Po knew he was not someone they could catch, so they didn’t dwell on it.

Zhao Po pulled out a small gong and tapped it lightly, producing a pleasing sound.

“This is how my friend and I communicate. If she’s in the valley, she should come out to meet us soon.”

Before long, a graceful woman emerged from the Seven Emotions Valley. A glint of recognition flashed in her eyes when she saw Zhao Po, but she hid her delight well, and asked in a slightly disdainful tone, “What curse have you gotten into this time?”

Unfazed by her tone, Zhao Po introduced, “This is my newly acquainted friend, Lu Yang from Seek Dao Sect, he needs Valley Master’s help for something.”

“This is Luo Yu, a true disciple of Seven Emotions Valley. Her master is Valley Master.”

“Lu Yang?!” Luo Yu was startled upon hearing Lu Yang’s name, “Are you the Lu Yang who won first prize at the Qingzhou festival and still felt unsatisfied so you even fought the judges?”

Lu Yang felt his many strengths didn’t necessitate this sort of reputation.

“I have a friend who was afflicted by an unspeakable curse and it’s extremely difficult to break. I would like to ask the Valley Master for help.”

Luo Yu cast a somewhat sympathetic look at Lu Yang, yet another “friend” claiming to be cursed.

“Master will be out soon, but whether she will be willing to help you lift the curse is uncertain. Please come in first.”

“It’s not me, it’s my friend.” Lu Yang corrected.

“I understand”

The two followed Luo Yu and entered through the Array Method entrance into the Seven Emotions Valley.

“By the way, does your Seek Dao Sect have someone named Master Xie?” Luo Yu suddenly asked.

“Yes, Master Xie is our Fourth Elder, is there any issue?”

The Fourth Elder seldom left the outside world, and his name wasn’t widely known.

“There’s a problem. When Master was young, she had a crush on a man named Master Xie. They met by chance, and she immediately fell for him. They often sat and talked together, discussing all sorts of things with joy. Master even taught him the technique of breaking curses, as proof of her feelings. Unfortunately, Master Xie did not reciprocate her feelings, left her and Wild State, and returned to Seek Dao Sect.”

“Judging from Master’s frequent mentioning of Master Xie, she has not let him go. As for whether it’s love or resentment born from love, I’m not certain.”

Lu Yang was sweating bullets after hearing this.

No wonder the Seven Emotions Valley, known as the best Sect in Wild State specializing in curse techniques, wasn’t recommended by the Fourth Elder to the duo. Instead, they were recommended to the Corpse Chasing Sect. So, this was the reason.

Having already entered the Seven Emotions Valley, it would be awkward to leave now.

Hopefully, the Valley Master will be magnanimous and won’t hold a grudge against a minor disciple from the Seek Dao Sect.

Lu Yang felt he had paid a hefty price for Meng Jingzhou’s curse. Even a father couldn’t do more.

“Do friends usually like to act as elders for each other?” Fairy Eternity, seemingly recalling something, asked Lu Yang.

“It’s not everyone, just some of them.”

“I see.”

“Did Fairy think of something?”

Fairy Eternity nodded and gave a sincere smile, “The first time I cooked for Qilin Immortal, he called me ‘Mom’. It turns out he saw me as a friend. It seems that sharing meals can promote relationships.”

Fairy Eternity looked lovely when she laughed, much more pleasing to the eye than the cold Eldest Senior Sister, but Lu Yang was not fooled by her sincere smile.

“Can you explain what happened in detail?”

“After I fought against Yingtian Immortal and Qilin Immortal in an rank-challenge, I felt bad and invited them to a meal. Initially, they were very suspicious of me and even thought that I wanted to poison them, but after seeing that my cooking process went smoothly, and having found no sign of poison, then they finally relaxed and started eating.”

“After taking a bite, Qilin Immortal yelled ‘Mom’ and then fainted, probably from his body’s inability to handle the replenishment.”

“Yingtian Immortal also fainted.”

“Qilin Immortal is a being born from the combined luck of heaven and earth, he has no parents, so he must be visualizing me as his mother.” Fairy Eternity shook her head slightly, feeling that Qilin Immortal was also pitiful.

Lu Yang thought that what Qilin Immortal wanted to yell was probably “Damn it’s poisonous” but after pronouncing only one word he fell unconscious, his words misunderstood by Fairy Eternity.

It is hard for later generations to judge the strength of the junior immortals, but Lu Yang had his own ways.

Considering that Qilin Immortal was able to utter one word, while Yingtian Immortal couldn’t utter a single word, Qilin Immortal should be superior in cultivation level.

Meanwhile, in reality, they walked through the Seven Emotions Valley, where Lu Yang observed a number of people seeking help to break curses – difficult ones that disciples stationed at the entrance couldn’t solve.

“Curse Master, every night when I meditate, I hear the sound of mosquitoes buzzing in my ears, and my body itches irritatingly. I’ve heard that you’ve researched a new type of curse that works like this, have I been inflicted with it?”

“My good friend, our Seven Emotions Valley did research such curse, but in my opinion, you show no signs of being cursed at all. And actually, your exposed skin has mosquito bites—it’s probably just real mosquitoes near you.”

“I don’t believe it, you must have cursed me.”

The disciple of Seven Emotions Valley sighed lightly. The curse was costly to create, who would waste it on someone with your low level of cultivation?

“Very well, take this, place it beside you when you’re meditating, and you will not be cursed anymore.”

“What is it?”

“Mosquito coil, three hundred spirit stones each.”

…

“Curse Master, from childhood to adulthood, no female cultivators have liked me. Every time I confess to them, they reject me, without exception. My peers are already married, and I don’t even have a girlfriend, have I been cursed?”

“Friend, your situation is not because of a curse. Your personal charm is undeniable, you only lack spirit stones. Our Seven Emotions Valley provides loan service, do you want to borrow spirit stones from us? The annual interest rate is only twenty percent?”

…

“Curse Master, recently, after killing someone, images of the victim’s bloody state at the point of death keep appearing in my mind. He screams that he will curse me to never have peace. Now, I even have nightmares. In my dreams, the victim, covered in blood, crawls towards me asking for his life to be avenged, scaring me so much that I dare not sleep.”

“Recently, I’ve been having chills running down my spine, as though someone is following me, but when I turn around, there is nothing.”

“When I’m in closed-door cultivation, I occasionally hear eerie laughter, jeering at my discomposure. I scramble to escape, but the laughter keeps echoing in my ears.”

“Sometimes, a red figure appears before my eyes, and when I rub my eyes and look carefully, the red figure disappears.”

“Am I cursed?”

The disciple of the Seven Emotions Valley noticed the black lines on his forehead, the swollen dark circles under his eyes, and the terrified look in his eyes. He nodded, finally encountering a real curse victim, “You are indeed cursed, and it’s an extremely difficult vengeance curse to break.”

“Is there a solution?”

“Naturally, there’s no curse that our Seven Emotions Valley can’t break. But this curse is too tough, I can’t handle it, please wait for me to call my Senior Brother.”

Shortly after, the disciple of the Seven Emotions Valley called his Senior Brother and pointed to him, saying: “Senior Brother, this is the murderer, I can’t beat him, let’s take him to the government office!”
