At this thought, Su Qing shook her head and whispered to herself, "Surely it hasn't come to that?"
Although Su Qing felt that she was occasionally a bit of a jinx, she didn't think she was quite that bad. It shouldn't be that just as she finished saying, 'I hope the Commandery Princess doesn't run into trouble,' the Princess actually ran into trouble on the road.
However, now was not the time to stand around thinking about it... Whether something had truly happened would depend on what the woman's prayer actually was. She couldn't jump to conclusions just because the wish was intense. Thus, with a thought, Su Qing located the Commandery Princess's prayer and listened to it.
But when Su Qing heard the prayer, her lip couldn't help but twitch.
She had thought that no matter what, she couldn't be that much of a jinx... yet it turned out she really was. Right after she hoped the other party wouldn't have an accident, the Commandery Princess really did have one.
Right now, the Commandery Princess was crying out for help to this jinx of a 'One-Leaf Bodhisattva'!
And she seemed to be in quite a hurry.
In the Northern Continent, within Great Emperor Zhenwu's Daoist field.
Su Qing, who was busy processing official documents, couldn't help but rub her brow, feeling slightly speechless.
"How can I be such a jinx? Whatever I worry about, happens... Fine, let's see what exactly happened to her first!"
She rubbed her temples, then with a thought, she split a portion of her consciousness and cast her gaze toward the small Bodhisattva statue the Commandery Princess wore on her person to see what was going on.
The Commandery Princess was a devout believer in 'One-Leaf Bodhisattva.' For this reason, she had specifically commissioned a Bodhisattva pendant carved from jade to wear at all times, making it convenient to pray or offer a silent bow whenever she wished.
After all, it was impossible for the Commandery Princess to carry a full-sized statue with her while traveling, so she had to resort to this alternative.
However, even if it was just such a simple statue, as long as it was on the person of such a devout believer, Su Qing could still cast her gaze through it.
Unfortunately, because the pendant was merely a simple carving and not a complete, consecrated statue, Su Qing couldn't directly manifest an incarnation through it as she could with a proper shrine.
Of course, it was barely enough to work with.
Regardless, Su Qing's clone was not that far from the Commandery Princess.
With the speed of the Somersault Cloud, she could reach the Princess's side very quickly.
Su Qing cast her gaze and easily saw the situation on the Princess's end.
However, the situation there was a bit difficult to describe.
Because right now, she looked like she was sleeping very peacefully... she didn't look like she was in danger at all. This left Su Qing somewhat puzzled. It couldn't be that she was just having a nightmare and was calling for help in her sleep, could it?
"This looks less like a dream and more like being pulled into an illusion..." Su Qing's brow rose. She then glanced at the surroundings, and soon she had her answer, confirming her suspicion.
Because around the Commandery Princess, several people were lying sprawled out in every direction... and there was no shortage of martial arts masters among them.
But unlike the Princess, some of those people had already drawn their last breath and become cold corpses.
As for the condition of the survivors, Su Qing couldn't tell for sure, but at the very least, they were still alive.
"It looks like they've encountered a ghost or a demon... and the strength of that entity is definitely not weak." Su Qing's brow twitched as she thought to herself, "If it were just a common illusion, I could use the residual power in the jade pendant to forcibly pull everyone out. But now that there's a ghost of unknown depth right beside them, I can't do that. If I provoke it, things could get troublesome. I can't save people while only being able to project my vision... As expected, I'll have to send my clone."
At this thought, Su Qing closed her eyes.
She prepared to focus her control on her clone for a while.
Since she was going to seriously rescue someone, she naturally needed to be a bit more focused.
It was a pity her other clone couldn't temporarily go into hibernation; otherwise, she could have concentrated entirely on the clone in Xingyang City.
In Xingyang City, in the backyard of the clinic.
Su Qing clapped her hands and said to Su Qingyu, "Go rest for a bit! I have some business and need to head out for a while."
The Su Qing here was a 'mortal,' so she couldn't cast spells right in front of Su Qingyu.
Therefore, she had to leave the clinic and go outside to perform her arts.
Su Qingyu was happy at first, but then she asked curiously, "Where are you going, Master? Are you going to buy something to eat? Can you take me with you?"
Su Qing didn't want to waste time chatting with Su Qingyu; after all, someone was waiting for her to save them.
Thus, upon hearing that Su Qingyu wanted to follow her, she didn't bother with excuses or long explanations.
As she walked toward the exit, she said to Su Qingyu, "I can't tell you, and I can't take you. Just stay in the backyard obediently. If you're bored, keep practicing. If you really can't handle it, go to the front and help out!"
Hearing this, Su Qingyu opened her mouth to speak but could only nod in the end. "I understand... I'll stay here obediently."
Although she really wanted to go out and play with Su Qing, she didn't dare talk back when Su Qing refused to take her.
She knew that if she kept pushing, Su Qing would actually make her rest time vanish, so she wasn't about to be stubborn. It was better to just listen.
Of course, she hadn't actually worked that hard today... most of her time had been spent slacking off and watching the drama earlier.
Seeing this, Su Qing nodded and said nothing more, simply heading outside.
As she left, Su Qing also sent a Sound Transmission to Ao Yiyi.
When faced with Ao Yiyi's inquiry, Su Qing only said she would explain when she returned.
After leaving the clinic, Su Qing performed a hand seal and vanished into the crowd.
She then walked to an open area, performed another hand seal, and mounted her Somersault Cloud to head toward the Commandery Princess's location.
In the sky, Su Qing didn't stay idle.
Taking advantage of the brief travel time, she quickly drew several talismans.
This was to ensure that when she rescued the people, the entity wouldn't seize them as hostages and make it difficult for her to act.
A moment later.
Su Qing's Somersault Cloud arrived in the sky above the place where the Commandery Princess was located.
Once she was above, Su Qing realized that the Commandery Princess and her party were inside a pavilion built in the middle of the wilderness.
The pavilion was built magnificently, looking like a summer retreat constructed by some wealthy family.
"The Commandery Princess is quite bold, actually daring to enter a place like this..." Su Qing shook her head and muttered to herself, "Forget it. Regardless of how she ended up running here, since I've come, I have to save them. This woman is an essential character in my plan... I've already wasted several months waiting for her; I can't let her die."
With that thought, Su Qing lowered her cloud and descended into the pavilion.
