“Thank you, Master.” Ling Chuxi said to Mu Liufeng. She did not doubt Mu Liufeng’s words. Whether it was his mysterious, unpredictable cultivation or his identity, there was no need to deceive her. The most important thing was that he was her own master. Although he was an irresponsible master, Ling Chuxi knew very clearly that Mu Liufeng never had any malicious intentions toward her.
“Go ahead. You guys don’t have to take care of things here.” Mu Liufeng waved to Ling Chuxi and the few of them.
Ling Chuxi and the few of them did not stay any longer. They carried Second Elder and Fifth Elder respectively and returned to the capital speedily. Fifth Elder had already long fell unconscious. Although he was covered in wounds, he did not sustain any fatal injuries. Ling Chuxi used the golden needles to stop the bleeding and there would not be anything serious after recuperating for some time.
“My Lord, we should leave.” A few middle-aged men with grim expressions only appeared after the figures of Ling Chuxi and the few of them had left and said to Mu Liufeng.
“Clean up this place first. Don’t let anyone make out any clues.” Mu Liufeng said indifferently.
“Yes.”
“My Lord, why did you not recruit them into our camp?” A man who was hiding behind Mu Liufeng like a shadow asked.
“Because they can go further and stand taller.” Mu Liufeng looked at Ling Chuxi’s back which was disappearing from his sight and his eyes were full of anticipation. He really looked forward to seeing how far Ling Chuxi could actually go and how tall she could stand!
At dawn, a ray of sunlight shone in a slanted manner into the house.
Second Elder was lying on the bed with his eyes shut tightly. If one were to not observe carefully, one could almost not feel his heart beat and breathing. The loss of his life could only become slower by entering into this state of fake death which was enough to last him for half a year. Although he did not have the slightest consciousness, a comforted smile still hung on his face.
Ling Chuxi guarded by the bedside. She had not slept the whole night and there was a faint bloodshot in her eyes.
“You should depart, little Chuxi.” Fifth Elder said to Ling Chuxi.
“Fifth Elder, I will entrust Second Elder to you.” Ling Chuxi stood up and said to Fifth Elder.
“Little Chuxi, just do your best. No matter what happens, remember to come back well and alive. You are the hope of the Ling family and also the hope of Second Elder.” Fifth Elder said to Ling Chuxi.
“Master, rest assured. I will not move a step away from him within this half year. Absolutely nothing will happen to Second Elder.” Luo Li also stood up and said.
“Thanks for the trouble.” Ling Chuxi nodded at Luo Li. With Luo Li guarding by Second Elder’s side, she was more relieved as well.
Ling Chuxi took a deep look at Second Elder and went downstairs. The servants had prepared a few fast horses which were waiting for her downstairs. They were all sturdy horses which were chosen among thousands. Some were saddled while some were not, and these were prepared to be exchanged while riding on the road. The road toward Ling Xi City of Shang Yuan Country was a far and difficult journey from here. If they did not exchange the horses that they rode on and if their horses had stumbled midway, they could only walk.
Ling Yichen, Baili Han and Fu Chengyu stood by the side. After helping to settle Second Elder down, Ling Chuxi had already prepared the antidote for Fu Chengyu and his complexion looked much better.
“Baili, Big Brother Fu, you guys don’t have to go this time. It will do for Yichen and I to go.” Ling Chuxi said to the few of them.
She only wished to find the Crisis Reverse Pill as soon as possible during this journey to Shang Yuan Country. She did not want to delay a single moment. Fu Chengyu had just taken the antidote and had yet to breakthrough and advance into the Great Fulfilment. And Baili Han… Ling Chuxi hoped that she would not need to go look for him everywhere if they were to meet with any trouble. If this directionally-challenged idiot were to get lost during a critical moment, it would make one’s chest ache with pain. Oh, no. It would cause one to have a very bad headache.
