Uncle Li had absolutely no liking for the mysterious man in white who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
If it weren't for him, my young lady wouldn't have been abandoned so early.
But Fang Yun'er shook her head after thinking about it.
"If you're going to save someone, go all the way, Uncle Li. I want to save him."
"Don't blame him; we've always had to rely on ourselves."
She was as delicate as a lotus flower in the wind, her face still wet with tears, and a hint of fear lingered in the depths of her eyes. Yet, she took a deep breath and mustered her strength.
The next moment, her fingertips trembled, and a Linglong jade bottle appeared in her palm.
The jade bottle was small, but when Uncle Li saw Fang Yun'er pour the pills out of the bottle and feed them to the white-robed man, his expression changed drastically.
"No!"
"Miss, this Heavenly Zenith Pill is for you to use during the Grand Competition!"
The Heavenly Zenith Pill is a medicine for repairing injuries. It can restore most injuries instantly. Fang Yun'er and her mother were of humble status and spent a lot of effort to finally buy one.
The reason for purchasing this elixir is to avoid being seriously injured during the Lineage assessment and being unable to complete the assessment tasks.
This provides an extra layer of insurance.
Uncle Li was extremely anxious, and he felt his tongue tighten.
Fang Yun'er is just too kind!
If the task is given to this young man in white, what will happen to the assessment?
Given Fang Yun'er's talent and abilities, the probability of her passing the Fang Household's assessment was already quite low.
However, even with Uncle Li's attempts to stop and remind her, Fang Yun'er had no intention of giving up. She shook her head casually and walked around Uncle Li's hand that was blocking her way.
Those bright eyes shone with a determined light.
Ignoring Uncle Li's anxious expression, she brought her fingers close to the white-robed man's lips and gently inserted the pill into them.
The Heavenly Zenith Pill melts upon entering the mouth.
It transformed into a warm medicinal liquid, instantly nourishing the broken body of the person before him.
Fang Yun'er then smiled and gestured to Uncle Li.
Human life is of utmost importance.
She only 'said' those four words.
In reality, Fang Yun'er lowered her head slightly, stared intently at her palm, and slowly clenched her fingers.
She knew.
My own abilities are very poor.
His natural talent was also average.
Compared to others, she was even less capable of Divine Sense, unable to even perform the most basic telepathic communication. In a land teeming with the Divine Continent, to be a mute was simply laughable.
The Heavenly Zenith Pill was her last chance.
She has to catch her.
But can I really hold onto it?
Honestly, Fang Yun'er didn't think she had that kind of ability.
Therefore, the moment she saw the young man in white, an extremely crazy idea popped into her mind.
Save him!
Even though he was in a coma, he gave me the feeling that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Even if the other party doesn't have any special skills, it would be good to establish a good relationship. Based on the life-saving grace, she could always find a way to maintain her and her mother's livelihood.
As for whether the other party is good or bad...
Fang Yun'er clenched her palms; the dampness revealed her nervousness.
That's right.
She's gambling.
If you win the gamble, things might calm down, or they might lead to a bright future.
But if you lose the gamble, there is only utter ruin.
However, the moment she saw this person, only one thought remained in her mind.
bet!
Two crescent moons hung in the sky, emitting a cold, eerie glow.
The campfire crackled and flickered, casting faint blue-green phantoms in its light. It emitted a pungent, exotic fragrance—the scent of animal-repelling incense—which could also create a certain illusion, giving people a moment of respite in the Desolate Forest night.
After setting up the array plate he carried with him, Uncle Li walked to the campfire, looked at Fang Yun'er's small face illuminated by the firelight, and couldn't help but sigh.
Miss...
Fang Yun'er's attention, however, was focused on the nearby Qilin Dragon Horse carriage.
She was mute, not deaf. Almost as soon as there was a sound in the carriage, she opened her eyes wide, lifted the hem of her skirt with a hint of nervousness, and hurried over.
Inside the carriage, Lin Xuan finally woke up.
His head throbbed with pain, his Divine Sense was almost frantically reminding him of the fact that he was seriously injured, and everything around him was extremely unfamiliar.
Look at this...
Am I inside a carriage?
After taking a slow, deep breath, Lin Xuan tried to calm himself down and recall what had happened.
He remembered that he had previously undergone tribulation in the Endless Sea.
After successfully transcending the tribulation, before he could leave, he encountered a rampaging teleportation palace. The terrifying teleportation power, carrying the power of Principle, directly attracted him, locking him in place and pulling him to the outer hall of the teleportation palace. It didn't give him any chance to explore; instead, it frantically absorbed the Spiritual Power from his body.
Even with his numerous tricks, he almost couldn't withstand it.
Fortunately, he had experience crossing realms once before, but he had his Spiritual Power drained and was injured. At the last moment, it seemed that the palace vomited him out like garbage...
He then immediately lost consciousness.
Now it seems that I was...
Was he rescued?
Just as he was pondering, he suddenly felt a bright light before his eyes. The firelight shone through the lifted carriage curtain, and a face as delicate as a lotus flower appeared before him.
The girl's eyes held surprise, hesitation, and wariness, but when she met his gaze, she still managed to raise the corners of her lips and give a smile.
Upon seeing the other person, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Name: Fang Yun'er
Age: 16
Realm: First-Level Venerable
Identity: Fourteenth daughter of a collateral branch of the Fang Household in Jinglan City
Destiny: Cattail and Willow Sprouting (Green Grade 7)
Recent events: On her way to Azure Wave City to participate in the Fang Household's main lineage assessment, she rescued an injured man and was abandoned by the convoy.
The system interface popped up, Lin Xuan glanced at it, and then looked away.
Injured man...
It refers to yourself, right?
This made him clearly aware of who his savior was.
A moment later, sitting by the campfire, Lin Xuan looked at the flickering flames and finally asked that question.
Where am I?
Across from him, Fang Yun'er rested her chin on her hands, her lips slightly parted, but she didn't utter a single word.
On the contrary, the old man who was somewhat displeased with him paused, glanced at him, and finally answered.
"This is Desolate Forest. Don't you even know where you got injured?"
As the campfire gradually dimmed and Uncle Li got up to add more firewood, Lin Xuan finally understood from Uncle Li's story that he had actually come to the Central Continent by a twist of fate!
Central Continent!
Even though he had long wanted to come here, Lin Xuan's heart still skipped a beat when he actually arrived.
This place seems even more vast than the Eastern Continent, with an indescribable rhythm between heaven and earth.
When he broke through to the Saint Realm, he sensed that the Principle of the Eastern Continent seemed incomplete; in other words, the Eastern Continent might have been shattered in the past.
It's like a sacred land scattered across the Central Continent Plains.
More importantly, legend has it that an immortal once used unparalleled means to open the gate to the boundary and step into the legendary Central Heaven — the Central Divine Continent!
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat; that was the realm where the Lin Saint Clan resided.
He had searched the entire Eastern Continent but could not find a way to return to the Central Divine Continent, yet he unexpectedly heard this legend here.
