"Well..."
Ye Zhu shook his head and sighed with a complicated expression.
"Master, why are you sighing?"
Suddenly, a child's voice rang out.
Ye Zhu turned around and saw a timid child standing opposite him, his face covered in dirt and his clothes tattered.
Xiao Mo!
A barely perceptible hint of surprise welled up in Ye Zhu's calm eyes.
Xiao Mo stared at Ye Zhu's blood-soaked clothes. "Master, how did you get injured?"
Ye Zhu asked, "You escaped?"
Xiao Mo nodded. "I heard the sounds of fighting outside, so I sneaked out! Master, we're fighting, aren't we?"
Ye Zhu gave a wry smile, "What did you find out?"
Xiao Mo, "It seems like we're fighting against the whole world!"
"No, no, it's that the whole world is our enemy. Master wants to save all living beings, but they won't let him."
"Yes, I understand, they are bad people!"
"Let's go, it's not safe here."
Ye Zhu looked around and saw flames of war raging in the distance.
Xiao Mo, wearing straw sandals, came running over, tugging at Ye Zhu's clothes, and said, "Master, I know a cave that's very secluded. I'll take you there!"
Pill Maple Academy.
When Xie Feng woke up groggily, he found himself lying in bed. When he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar ceiling above him.
There was something warm beside me, and nestled a fluffy little head. Its white tiger ears twitched slightly, shimmering and soft in the slanting sunlight. It turned out that Sushang was sitting on a small stool, lying on the edge of the bed, fast asleep.
Xie Feng reached out his finger and gently ruffled her hair.
The guy was sleeping so soundly he didn't feel a thing.
Xie Feng smiled slightly.
He propped himself up with his hands and sat up; he was now shirtless, and the scars had vanished without a trace.
The previous battle with Ye Zhu only resulted in superficial injuries, which were insignificant to someone of his level. The only problem was the excessive energy expenditure, requiring him to recover his energy.
When Xie Feng sat up, his movements were inevitably a little unsteady. Sushang, her face buried in her arms, smiled with her bright almond-shaped eyes open.
"Brother, you're awake?"
Her voice carried the languidness and drowsiness of someone just waking up, like a well-behaved little kitten.
Xie Feng said, "I'm fine!"
Sushang pouted and muttered, "You said you were fine, but when Senior Brother carried you back, you were unconscious and had so many injuries!"
"Are you injured? Where are you injured?" Xie Feng joked.
"Hmph, I've healed it all, it's definitely not injured anymore!" Sushang rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm a lucky person, I'll always be blessed." Xie Feng blinked.
"..."
Sushang's lips twitched; he didn't know whether to believe it or not!
"Junior brother, you're awake?" Kong Qiusu floated over and asked with concern.
"I'm fine!" Xie Feng said, moved.
" Xiao Xie, you're awake?" Shui Yunjun came over and asked with concern.
"I'm fine!" Xie Feng nodded.
"Lord Xie, you're awake?" Lü Yan approached, equally worried.
"I'm fine!" Xie Feng smiled.
"Young Master Xie, you're awake?" Xiao Tianzi approached, expressing the same concern.
"..."
Can all of these people finish speaking at once?
Why must we torment someone who is "recovering from a major injury"?
In the end, Xie Feng could only manage a perfunctory smile.
Xiao Tianzi didn't care at all. He was a very emotional person. As soon as he came in, he sat on the edge of the bed, wiping away tears in front of Xie Feng, and muttering to himself, hoping that God would bless him, the new owner of Floating World Bank.
Xie Feng asked, "Senior Brother, are your people so superstitious?"
Kong Qiusu, "His personal actions shouldn't be generalized to me!"
Xie Feng: "..."
Kong Qiusu said, " Ye Zhu is a strange person. He possesses a body that is ten thousand years old, but his soul is unusually young. The most common reason for this is that he has received some kind of inheritance. The result of your battle with him is not surprising. If you were the same age, or even if you were half the age of Ye Zhu, then you would not have let him escape today!"
Xie Feng's eyes flickered as he asked, "He escaped?"
Kong Qiusu nodded.
Sushang said, "Because you fainted, Senior Brother Qiusu didn't chase after you."
Kong Qiusu said, "It's alright. His internal injuries are severe. As long as he can't escape the Dao Realm, we can find him quickly."
Lü Yan asked curiously, "What if we escaped the Dao Realm?"
Kong Qiusu smiled, "It will only take a little time at most!"
Shui Yunjun nodded and said, " Xiao Xie eliminated an important figure, Xiao Shang cracked the Buddha Emperor Bell's soul-capturing sound, Qiusu severely injured Ye Zhu. With the three of you here, it is truly a blessing for the Dao Realm!"
"You flatter me, Master's wife!"
Kong Qiusu smiled slightly and answered modestly.
Lü Yan's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "The most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of Ye Zhu! It would be best to send people to patrol and increase the search efforts!"
Xie Feng said, "Where's Gu Meng? Have him take the Shadow Legion from Ghost Sorrow City."
"I'm going to find Lord Gu!"
Sushang ran towards the door and happened to run into Yellow Hair, Red Hair, and Green Hair, who walked over with sorrowful expressions!
As soon as Yellow Hair arrived, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Everyone was puzzled.
Sushang stared with her almond-shaped eyes. "What... what's wrong with you?!"
Green Hair said, "We just encountered Ye Zhu in the Heavenly Roaming Forest! Seeing he was severely injured, we thought we had a chance and tried to fight him, but Ye Zhu's strength was extraordinary. To protect us, Chief Qing Wu and the City Lord... sacrificed themselves!!"
The Yellow Hair said, "It was all because of my impulsiveness that they died! I'm willing to die!"
The room was completely silent.
The Yellow Hair raised his head uneasily, anxiously awaiting his death.
"Then I'll go on patrol!" said Shui Yunjun.
"I'll go check on the wounded soldiers!" Sushang said immediately.
"My medicinal herbs seem to have arrived, I'm off!" Xiao Tianzi hurriedly walked towards the door.
" Xiao Shang, I'll go with you," Xie Feng said, getting off the bed.
Everyone left without warning, and in an instant, only Kong Qiusu and Yellow Hair remained in the room.
The three men looked at each other, bewildered. Red Hair scratched his head and asked, "What's wrong with them? Why aren't they paying attention to us?"
Kong Qiusu asked, "How do you plan to manage this?"
Red Hair said, "We've made a huge mistake and we have to be punished!"
Kong Qiusu glanced down and asked calmly, "Now, how are you feeling?"
Green Hair: "So sad!"
Red Hair: "Sad!"
Yellow Hair: "You want to die!"
Kong Qiusu slowly put her hands behind her back, took two steps forward, and said leisurely, "Isn't this a punishment?"
The three of them were dumbfounded.
They never realized that guilt is also a form of punishment!
There's no such thing as Ghost Sorrow City!
"War inevitably involves casualties, it's just the way things are. Because of your weakness and impulsiveness, Qing Wu and Gu Meng were sacrificed. So, you've come here now to apologize."
"This kind of mental guilt is far more painful than physical punishment, and this lesson will inevitably make you more careful in your future actions."
"Cheer up! Now is a time when we're short of fighting power. Even if you want to die, your junior brother and mistress won't allow it."
Kong Qiusu patted the Yellow Hair on the shoulder and drifted away.
The three of them turned around in astonishment.
"Who... who is this?"
"Could the junior brother and mistress he mentioned be Lord Xie and Shui Yunjun?"
"Fool! Did you waste all that reading? This is Kong Qiusu, the Military Confucian strategist! The greatest Literary Dao in the Dao Realm! An unprecedented and unparalleled existence!"
Green Hair gritted his teeth, feeling utterly disappointed in his son.
The Yellow Hair and Red Hair were stunned!
