Chapter 173 Helpless
Chapter 173 Helpless
Back home, nothing happened.
Ten days later.
"not good!"
Lu Luan, who was practicing, suddenly opened his eyes.
On his body, a talisman began to glow.
This is the talisman he left for Murong Xue to contact her, and it will be activated if anything happens.
So Lu Luan immediately stood up and walked out of the Lin Mansion.
Soon, he arrived at an inn not far from the Lin Mansion and went straight to one of the rooms.
When he opened the door, he found Murong Xue lying on the ground with her breath gushing out, blood still flowing from the corner of her mouth, and her life was in critical condition.
"Damn it!"
Lu Luan's face looked extremely ugly. He hurriedly walked forward, a red pill appeared in his hand, and he gave it to her.
"Why did the situation suddenly start to deteriorate?" Lu Luan said gloomily.
In fact, Murong Xue had already been seriously injured when she was plotted against by the Qinglong Gang, and ordinary elixirs could not recover from her injuries.
Next, he helped him up, put his hands behind his back, and began to use his internal energy to help him absorb the effects of the medicine.
An hour later.
"puff!"
After vomiting a mouthful of blood, Murong Xue slowly opened her eyes, but her face was still pale and bloodless, like a person who would not live long. In fact, she would not live long anyway with such a serious injury.
"Brother, you saved me again."
When he turned around and saw that it was Lu Luan, he called out weakly.
"call……"
Seeing her wake up, Lu Luan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he stood up and asked, "What's going on?"
"The effect of the medicine that Senior Brother gave me last time has worn off. I can't suppress my injuries anymore, so..."
Murong Xue's voice was very weak and low.
Lu Luan stopped talking.
Although this elixir was left to him by the sect, and although it is a good elixir, it can only suppress Murong Xue's injuries.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Murong Xue whispered again: "Brother, am I a burden to you?"
She was well aware of the severity of her injuries. She was already badly injured after escaping from the Qinglong Gang with the help of a talisman. She also went through a fight and was hit with a full-strength palm from a man who was at the tenth level of Qi Refining. Now, she was almost at the end of her rope.
"It seems that we need to let her enter the Lin family as soon as possible."
Lu Luan said silently in his heart.
He knew that the pill he gave now would not last for many days.
If Murong Xue wants to survive, she can only rely on the Lin family for help. After all, the Lin family is a prominent family with much stronger background than his.
Moreover, the severity of his injuries was beyond his expectations. After all, not everyone could cultivate the innate five elements of Qi like him and suppress injuries.
"Junior sister, have you figured it out?"
Murong Xue's eyes struggled immensely, but after a while, she finally compromised in her heart. A trace of misery appeared in her eyes, and she said in a dejected tone, "I'll listen to you, Senior Brother."
Finally compromised with myself.
"Hey."
Seeing her like this, Lu Luan sighed in his heart, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Yes, it is bound to make people feel sad that a proud child of a sect has fallen to this point.
But this world is so helpless, nothing comes without a price. Now it is not like when you were in a sect, where the elders would provide you with pills to help you recover as long as you were slightly injured.
In the world of independent cultivators, there is no such thing as free stuff anymore.
"But in my current condition, which force would take me in?" Murong Xue said in the twilight.
Lu Luan said: "Junior sister, don't worry about this. The Lin family is quite suitable for you. You can go there."
"Lin?"
"Well, you have yellow spiritual roots and are a disciple of a sect, so you have a clean foundation. The Lin family is only a third-rate force in the city now. You are very important to them. I believe that as long as you are willing to stay, they will spare no effort to help you recover." Lu Luan said.
The most talented person in the Lin family now is not as talented as him, so you can imagine how important Murong Xue is.
Neither of them spoke after that, and he waited quietly for her answer.
After a while, seeing that she was still hesitant, Lu Luan said again: "Junior sister, I hope you can stay in the Lin family with peace of mind. After all, the Zhengyang Sect has been destroyed, and the world of independent cultivators is dangerous. You are beautiful, but it will be difficult for you to survive without any strength to support you. In the Lin family, there may be a peaceful and pure land. Besides, I am also in the Lin family now."
"Brother, are you also in the Lin family?"
There was surprise in Murong Xue's eyes. Now, the only person she trusted was him.
"Yeah." Lu Luan nodded.
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements, brother," Murong Xue agreed.
Lu Luan walked gently and said, "But Junior Sister, what I am doing now is very dangerous. Can you guarantee that you will not sell out my information?"
Murong Xue quickly shook her head and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry, I definitely won't do that."
"How can I trust you if you say so?"
Lu Luan's eyes suddenly became sharp. This was something he had to guard against. After all, he had experienced the feeling of being betrayed before.
"This……"
Being looked at like this, Murong Xue was a little at a loss.
Lu Luan said with his hands behind his back: "Leave a piece of your soul with me, so that I can rest assured. After the matter is done, I will return it to you."
"soul?"
After hearing this, Murong Xue instinctively took a step back. After all, as long as it involved the soul, it was a matter of great importance.
Seeing this, Lu Luan began to entangle her with true Qi in his hands behind his back, and if she didn't agree, he would do it himself.
He is now at the tenth level of Qi training. Although he cannot search the soul yet, he can already use some small tricks related to the soul.
Murong Xue thought for a while and asked, "Brother Lu, will you really give it back to me?"
Lu Luan nodded and said, "Of course, after all, you and I are both from the Zhengyang Sect."
"it is good."
Murong Xue clenched her fist and nodded, then closed her eyes and let him do what he wanted.
She chose to believe it. After all, it was Lu Luan who saved her life. Perhaps, she also knew that she had no other choice.
Seeing this, Lu Luan was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. He then stretched out his index finger, tapped the center of Murong Xue's eyebrows, and said, "Bear with it, it will be a little painful."
"Ah."
Murong Xue nodded.
Next, a wave came from Lu Luan's fingers, and then it penetrated into her soul and began to split it.
Gradually, Murong Xue's face began to show discomfort.
After a while, it was finally fine.
Lu Luan retracted his fingers. At this time, there was still a wisp of something like smoke wrapped around his fingertips. This was the small part of Murong Xue's soul.
At this time, Murong Xue's face was already pale, with beads of sweat dripping from her cheeks.
The soul is the most important part of a monk. If it is damaged, it will cause big problems.
Of course, Lu Luan handled the situation properly and it wouldn't have any obvious impact on her.
But if the soul in his hand was shattered by him, Murong Xue would become an idiot if he didn't die.
Seeing her like this, Lu Luan said, "You should rest well in this building for the next few days. I will naturally have other arrangements later."
"Ah."
Murong Xue nodded.
Next, Lu Luan explained something in detail and then left.
……
Three days later.
"Have you heard? Master Lin Mou rescued a girl."
"I saw it, it's very beautiful..."
Lu Luan stood in the corridor, listening to the discussion of some people around him.
He knew Lin Mou very well. After he gave her instructions, Murong Xue was very smart and followed them without any mistakes.
Then it was time for the Lin family disciples to do morning exercises, so they went to the martial arts training ground.
In a room in the Lin Mansion.
"Grandpa, how is she?"
Lin Mou asked nervously to the old man who was checking Murong Xue's injuries.
This old man is Lin Xiong, the patriarch of the Lin family, who has reached the middle tenth level of Qi Refining.
At this time, Lin Xiong frowned deeply. After a while, he sighed and said, "Alas, the injury is too serious. The internal organs are damaged, and even the Dantian is affected."
Then he asked, "Where did you find her? This woman has an extraordinary temperament. Judging from her clothes, she must be from some powerful force."
Lin Mou said: "Today I went to check on the business of the family store. She fell in love with a healing elixir and suddenly fainted. When I checked on her, I found that she was seriously injured, so I brought her here."
"Where am I?"
At this time, Murong Xue slowly opened her eyes and looked around in a daze.
"Girl, you're awake."
Lin Mou hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"What are you going to do?"
Murong Xue subconsciously shrank to the corner of the bed and looked at them nervously.
Seeing this, Lin Mou quickly said: "Miss, you fainted in our store before, I brought you back. Now this is the Lin family, don't be afraid."
"You saved me?"
Murong Xue asked.
Lin Mou nodded.
Lin Xiong also said: "Girl, don't worry, we have no ill intentions. Which force are you from? I will send someone to report it now."
Murong Xue looked frightened and didn't dare to speak.
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. How did you get injured?" Lin Mou said.
Murong Xue looked at him carefully, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he was trying to figure out something. After a while, hesitantly asked, "You really won't hurt me?"
"No," Lin Mou nodded.
Murong Xue then said, "I was injured by some bad guys outside the city, so I went into the city to buy healing elixirs."
"Girl, are you a casual cultivator?"
Lin Mou asked with a frown, with some disbelief in his eyes. After all, the way she was dressed and looked like she didn't look like a casual cultivator. She could be said to be a lady from a wealthy family who had never done any secular work.
Murong Xue shook her head and said, "No, I am a disciple of the sect..."
Next, Murong Xue told them some of her life experience.
When they heard that the other party was actually a core disciple of the sect who had reached the level of a powerful Golden Core, they were almost frightened to the ground.
After all, the two words "golden elixir" alone are enough to make people tremble with fear.
However, after knowing that the sect had been conquered by the Demon Sect, he felt somewhat relieved.
But then Lin Xiong became so excited that his beard trembled, as if he was hit by a pie.
Murong Xue had the Zhengyang Gate badge, Zhengyang Order and other tokens on her, so her identity could be confirmed. Although they still had some doubts, they had already believed it for the most part. After all, from her tone, they knew that she had not experienced any setbacks.
"Girl, you should rest and heal your wounds first. We won't disturb you. We'll leave first and send someone to bring you the elixir later."
After knowing it clearly, Lin Xiong knew that it was important for the other party to heal his wounds, so he said.
However, Murong Xue glanced at Lin Mou and said, "Tell him to stay. You saved me, and I have something to tell you."
"this…"
Lin Mou was in a dilemma. Facing such a prominent woman, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
But after being glared at by Lin Xiong, he became obedient.
He walked forward and asked, "Girl, do you have anything else to say?"
"My name is Murong Xue, what's yours?" Murong Xue asked.
"Lin Mou."
Lin Mou replied.
"Lin Mou?" Murong Xue muttered softly.
Lin Mou was worried and said, "Miss Murong, you are seriously injured and have nowhere to go. You should stay at the Lin family to recover from your injuries."
"Puff," Murong Xue was about to answer, but her face changed, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and then she fell backwards.
"girl."
Seeing this, Lin Mou hurried forward and held her shoulders.
"It's okay, it just fluctuated and injured me."
Murong Xue took a deep breath and replied, then looked at Lin Mou's hands on both sides.
"Yes...I'm sorry."
Lin Mou quickly took it back, looking apologetic.
Just like that, Murong Xue had a serious conversation with him for a while and then let him leave.
