Chapter 573: There’s No Time Like the Present
About a hundred miles away from the inn, a young nobleman dressed in fine robes wore a frosty expression as he glared at the subordinate kneeling before him. “What did you say?”
The subordinate, drenched in cold sweat, gritted his teeth and repeated, “The man has arrived at the inn we arranged in Xueyue Town. The young lady from before has already left, but according to our informants, he was carrying a beautiful daoist nun in his arms when he entered the inn. We believe she is none other than the Red Fairy, Li Mochou.”
The young nobleman waved his hand, signaling the subordinate to withdraw. He simmered with anger, unable to find an outlet for his frustration. “Li Mochou? He’d even involve himself with a woman as notorious as her? Truly blinded by lust.”
Time passed as the nobleman seethed, but a sudden thought made him calm down.
“Could he have already figured out it’s me? Is he doing this deliberately to provoke me and test my reaction? Hmph, if you refuse to come to me, then I’ll go to you instead. Servants…”

In the inn at Xueyue Town, Li Mochou sat pale-faced, gazing at the man beside her.
“Is there really no other way?”
“This time, the backlash you suffered was due to the instability of your foundation. External forces can hardly help. That I’ve even managed to come up with two methods to save you is already the limit of my abilities. What other solutions could there possibly be?” Song Qingshu replied. “Of course, if you can persuade Master Yideng, his renowned One Yang Finger technique is said to bring the dead back to life. It might work for you.”
