Chapter 294: Chapter 294: He Knows

Su Muyao still went to see Yue Wuhen.

It was mainly because of that sacrificial evil array from the Spider Clan. She wanted to ask Yue Wuhen about it; perhaps he would know.

She came to a palace where Yue Wuhen was temporarily residing, right next to the East Palace that was under construction.

When she entered, she heard the sound of grinding herbs.

Yue Wuhen, dressed in purple, was grinding herbs and seemed especially focused and serious with his movements.

Su Muyao didn’t know him at all, nor had she interacted with him, so she didn’t know how to start a conversation.

Probably hearing some noise, Yue Wuhen stopped and looked towards the entrance, then immediately saw Su Muyao.

"The Princess has arrived."

His voice was clear and calm, as if her arrival was not at all surprising.

It was as if it was the most normal thing.

"Young Master Yue, sorry for the abrupt intrusion."

Yue Wuhen, his peach blossom eyes carrying a faint purple luster, said, "It’s no intrusion; the Princess can come whenever she wishes."

Su Muyao was taken aback, not knowing how to respond to that sentence.

"Or if the Princess has anything she wants to ask, she can feel free to ask."

As Yue Wuhen spoke, he continued with his task at hand.

After preparing the herbs, he began brewing the medicine.

The scent of the medicine gradually spread, as Su Muyao stepped forward, handing a drawing to Yue Wuhen, "Does Young Master Yue know what this array is?"

Yue Wuhen reached out, took the drawing from Su Muyao, and then looked at her deeply, his peach blossom eyes shimmering as if he wanted to say something.

But he said nothing.

Su Muyao felt an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

Yue Wuhen just took one glance and then spoke, "This is an ancient Void Transmission Array, but this array has several incomplete parts."

Su Muyao’s expression changed; she didn’t expect Yue Wuhen to actually know.

"Void Transmission Array?"

Yue Wuhen looked down at Su Muyao’s puzzled expression and explained, "The Void Transmission Array is like tearing open the void to teleport to a certain place. However, the void is not so easily torn open, and it requires strong power to activate."

"In ancient times, activating such an array needed a Crystal Core, and it had to be a top-grade Crystal Core. However, after the war erupted in the Beast World, Crystal Cores became scarce. Without Crystal Cores, this array cannot be activated."

So that’s how it was.

Su Muyao suddenly understood, "Then what if life and fresh blood were sacrificed?"

Upon hearing this, a deep look appeared in Yue Wuhen’s peach blossom eyes, "If the life of a beastman is sacrificed, strictly speaking, it is also possible."

"But this method is too cruel, it goes against the Heavenly Dao. The beastman being transmitted might also lose their life, which is highly risky."

"Even if they survive, their body will have some issues."

After listening, Su Muyao immediately understood some things. No wonder the Spider Beastman didn’t arrange for the clan elders and masters to come out, but instead sent Liu Mengyan and other beastmen on missions.

Because this array is not foolproof; one careless mistake, and life could be lost.

"Thank you for informing me."

Yue Wuhen saw her being so polite, sighed lightly, and said, "No need to thank me. Anything the Princess wants to know, as long as I know, I will tell the Princess."

Su Muyao looked up at Yue Wuhen, meeting his captivating purple eyes, her heartstrings tingled, "Why?"

Yue Wuhen’s gaze was complex, and he said softly, "Because you have returned."

Su Muyao’s heart skipped a beat, her breath caught; for a moment, she forgot to breathe or react, her mind went blank.

She just stared blankly at Yue Wuhen.

Yue Wuhen nodded to her.

Su Muyao opened her mouth to find her voice again, coming back to her senses, "You... you know I..."

Yue Wuhen’s gaze was somewhat ethereal, speaking with a serene tone, "Yes, I know the Princess’s soul was previously dormant and taken over, and now the Princess has finally returned."

Su Muyao’s fingers trembled, her mind was violently shaken.

This was her secret that very few people knew, not even Wen Nanxi and the others.

Su Muyao took a few deep breaths, steadied her mind, and asked, "Did you know from the beginning?"

This was an acknowledgment of what Yue Wuhen said.

"Yes, I knew from the beginning, or rather, I knew before entering the Su Mansion back then."

"But Master said I couldn’t intervene, otherwise it could affect many things, or make it so you couldn’t return, so I could only wait."

"It was only a year ago that I received a secret order from my Master, telling me I must leave the Su Mansion to ensure you could come back."

"I’m sorry, I wasn’t there when you needed it."

Listening to these words, Su Muyao’s heart stirred with turbulent waves, like an ocean trying to swallow her whole.

She didn’t doubt Yue Wuhen’s words, because using the Time Reversal Technique, she had learned some things her father and grandmother had said, she realized that the exile was a plan her father and grandmother devised to weaken the Evil Thought Soul, to allow her soul to return at the right time.

After a pause, Yue Wuhen said, "Also, when I was repairing Xie Guixue’s soul back then, I saw you from another world."

"Even though it was just a moment, I knew that was the real you, it was just that you were harmed, and your soul was wandering in another world."

When Su Muyao heard the name Xie Guixue, her face changed dramatically.

For so long, she hadn’t mentioned Xie Guixue; only she knew internally, she feared talking about it, fearing her heart wouldn’t stay calm.

She looked into Yue Wuhen’s beautifully captivating peach blossom eyes, seeing the mysterious and deep purple luster, she thought, ’As expected of a descendant of the Wushan Witch Clan, possessing Wushan Divine Blood, they indeed know a lot.’

He could even see her in the previous life amid the apocalypse.

No wonder he was like an invisible person in the Su Mansion, even the Evil Thought Soul feared him.

Su Muyao was silent for a long time, piecing many things together, "Do you know what the matter with that Evil Thought Soul is?"

Yue Wuhen shook his head, "I don’t know. There should be a more powerful force trying to eliminate you, but you are under the protection of the Heavenly Dao. Being the Heavenly Destiny Girl, the Star of Salvation, you won’t be easily erased, so this power could only take over your body, controlling you to do things contrary to your will."

"My Master and I have been searching for this force, but we have yet to find it."

As he spoke, Yue Wuhen finished brewing the medicine, pouring it into a bowl, using his superpower to adjust the temperature, and handed it to Su Muyao, "Drink this medicine, and no Gu Worm can harm you."

Su Muyao took it and drank the medicine without hesitation.

For some reason, she instinctively trusted Yue Wuhen.

Her grandmother had said that before she was born, her grandfather had an arranged marriage set with the High Priest through star divination for the two of them, so there must be a reason for it.

This meant she could trust Yue Wuhen and trust the Moon Clan.

Having seen her drink it, Yue Wuhen breathed a sigh of relief, he was also afraid she would blame him for leaving back then.

But some things were beyond his control.

He still had the brocade bag left by Mr. Su.

Actually, in the star divination by Mr. Su and his Master back then, neither Su Muyao nor this Beast World Continent showed any signs of life.

But, in the end, something changed everything; when Su Muyao was born, the Star of Salvation descended.

After drinking, Su Muyao gave Yue Wuhen a light smile, "Thank you."

After a pause, Su Muyao pondered for a moment but couldn’t hold back from asking, "How is Young Master Xie... is he well?"
