Elsewhere.
Su Shi'er hurried onward with little Feng Fei and the three Fang Shu brothers.
His internal injuries were too severe, so he did not fly through the air. Instead, he led the group along close to the ground with the Wind Riding Technique.
Wuliu Town was only fifty li from Wuliu Plain. Though the Wind Riding Technique was somewhat slower, the distance was relatively short, so it would not cost much more time.
But midway through their journey,
A streak of light suddenly tore across the sky, racing toward them from afar.
"Hmm? That is..."
Su Shi'er's brows rose, and he immediately became alert.
Yet the next moment, countless emerald bamboo leaves fluttered around the streak of light.
Then, a figure wearing a Bamboo Hat and fitted clothing drifted gracefully before them.
"It is Tang Zhuying, Martial Sister Tang!" Su Shi'er clasped his hands and hurriedly greeted Tang Zhuying.
Tang Zhuying's aura fluctuated. When she saw Su Shi'er, she was slightly stunned, then visibly relaxed.
When she noticed little Feng Fei following closely at Su Shi'er's side, her pupils contracted slightly, and her surprise deepened.
She immediately said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother. You have gotten your wish and saved your beloved disciple!"
Su Shi'er waved his hand with a smile. "I was merely lucky! Wuliu Plain was fraught with peril. The little girl was fortunate enough to hold on until I arrived; her life was not meant to end."
Tang Zhuying nodded lightly and continued, "It is true that she was blessed with good fortune, but it also could not have happened without Junior Brother's sense of responsibility. Since you were able to rescue someone from Wuliu Plain, you must know all about the changes there. Could you tell me exactly what happened in Wuliu Plain?"
"Your injuries appear serious.
