Chapter 1733: Ten Thousand Wood Forest
“If that’s the case, then forget it.”
Old Man Turtle let out a sigh before breaking into a smile. “Be it the Merfolk Pearl, the Phoenix Bull Eye, the Seastone Stamen or the Nine Glory Spirit Fish, they are all items that cannot be found immediately. It would be putting the cart before the horse; losing more than we gain if it adds significant delay to your journey.”
“Besides, we have Little Yu now. She knows more secrets than I do. There is no need to seek the distant shop when there is one right in front of us[1].”
“Thank you for your understanding, elder.”
In fact, Ye Qing thought so too. He then asked, “Since we’ve found a way to retrieve memories, are you still coming with us to Dong Ji, elder?”
The reason Old Man Turtle was heading to Dong Ji was to recover his lost memories. Since he now knew the method to retrieve it, there was no need for them to risk his life with them.
“Of course I’m going. Why wouldn’t I?”
Old Man Turtle replied without hesitation, “For one, it’s easier to visit Dong Ji and enjoy its wonders once more than it is to recover my memories. Two, we now know a method to negate its influence anyway, so I do not need to worry about losing my memories a second time.”
“And third, I promised to help you find the evil suppressing spiritual treasure. I wouldn’t abandon my promise halfway.”
Ye Qing thanked him. “Your benevolence and righteousness are impressive, elder. This junior is impressed.”
It was at this moment Lingyu interrupted, “What’s an evil suppressing spiritual treasure? Is that the reason you’re heading to Dong Ji?”
Ye Qing smiled. “That... is a secret.”
