Chen Ning paused for a moment. He looked at the sweet-looking girl and asked,""Did you save me?"
"That's right. My sister and I brought you back last night. You were so seriously injured at that time…I didn't expect you to wake up. It's good that you're awake.”The sweet girl patted her chest with the medicine bottle in her hand and sighed. Then, she walked to Chen Ning and handed the medicine bottle to her."This is the medicine I took from my father. Remember to apply it on your body later. It will be very helpful for your injuries.”After saying that, the sweet girl blinked her big, clear eyes and gave Chen Ning a mischievous smile.
Chen Ning took the bottle and looked at the cute girl. He nodded slightly and said weakly,"Thank you, Mother, for saving my life."
"My name is Qin Zixuan. What's yours? Why were his injuries so severe in the Demon Beast Mountain Range? Are you being chased?" Hearing Chen Ning's gratitude, Qin Zixuan's cute face immediately smiled. Then, she continued to ask Chen Ning like a curious baby.
Qin Zixuan's words reminded Chen Ning of Black Panther's team's destruction. He thought of Black Panther's big brother, Hu Wen, and the brothers who sacrificed themselves to save him. Chen Ning's originally calm face was instantly filled with sorrow. It was as if there was something stuck in his throat. He choked up and could not speak. In just one night, his big brother had died at the hands of the Cyan Demonic Wolf because of him. The laughter and joy he had with his big brother in the past kept flashing through his mind.
Seeing that Chen Ning didn't answer her and instead had a sorrowful expression on her face, Qin Zixuan's cute face showed a trace of apology. She stuck out her tongue and said weakly,"Big brother, did I say something wrong?”
Hearing Qin Zixuan's words, Chen Ning came back to his senses and shook his head gently. He forced a smile and said to Qin Zixuan,""No, my name is Chen Ning."
Seeing that she had not said anything wrong, Qin Zixuan smiled again. Then, like a lark, Qin Zixuan kept asking Chen Ning," Big brother, where is your home? What's your realm? How old are you? Have you been out there for a long time?"”
Looking at Qin Zixuan, who seemed to have known each other for a long time and kept chattering non-stop, Chen Ning did not feel any impatience other than a slight headache. If it were anyone else, they would not find it annoying to face a cute and beautiful little girl who had not only saved them. From Qin Zixuan's words, Chen Ning also learned that Qin Zixuan was the daughter of the Qin Clan Leader of a first-rate clan in the Heaven's Wall City. Although she was compared to the eight great clans in the Heaven's Wall City, she was still a force that could not be underestimated.
"Zi Xuan, where did you go?”
Just as Chen Ning was being questioned by Qin Zixuan, a woman's voice came from outside the house. Her voice was very gentle and interrupted their conversation.
"Oh no, my sister is looking for me. I'll leave first, big brother.”Qin Zixuan panicked when she heard the noise outside the woodshed. She immediately stood up and ran out of the woodshed after telling Chen Ning.
Chen Ning leaned against the wall and vaguely heard the woman outside the woodshed scolding Qin Zixuan. He wanted to get up and take a look, but the moment he moved, he felt a wave of pain all over his body. He had no choice but to give up. Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand, Chen Ning slowly untied his clothes and applied the medicine in the bottle to the injured parts of his body. When he was done, Chen Ning let out a long breath. When the medicine touched the wound, it caused intense pain, making Chen Ning feel that the process was extremely long. Fortunately, it was all done.
Looking at the delicate porcelain bottle in her hand and the cooling sensation of the medicine applied to her wounds, Chen Ning could not help but think of the petite and cute little girl from before. A faint smile appeared on her face.
It was daytime, so Chen Ning estimated that it should be around noon. After resting against the wall for more than ten minutes, Chen Ning began to practice. He circulated the Azulet Sword Scroll to absorb the Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth into his body. However, when Chen Ning absorbed the Xuan Qi into his body, he realized that he could not control it. When he absorbed the Xuan Qi into his body, it seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, and all of it flowed into his Dantian. He could not control it at all. Chen Ning was confused. He noticed that his meridians had been damaged before, but they had recovered completely and he had broken through to the next realm. Although he did not know what had happened to him, Chen Ning guessed that it must have something to do with the purple and green in his Dantian. They had saved him several times when he was on the verge of death.
Chen Ning spent the entire day in cultivation. Although his cultivation did not increase by a single bit and was still at the Sixth Level of the Mystical Realm, he could now keep a portion of the Celestial Chi he had absorbed for his own use. The purple and green lights in his Dantian were also flickering weakly. He had absorbed all of it in the morning and had recovered to 80 percent of his previous level, leaving Chen Ning with 20 percent to strengthen his own abilities.
The night was very quiet. Perhaps it was because Chen Ning was in a remote woodshed, but there was no sound other than the croaking of frogs outside. Chen Ning, who had been immersed in cultivation, slowly opened his eyes. Although his injuries had not healed under the medicine Qin Zixuan had given him during the day, he could not feel any pain as long as he did not move too violently. Chen Ning could not help but sigh at the miraculous medicine Qin Zixuan had given him. However, when he thought about how the other party was a first-rate family in the Heaven's Wall City, and how it was the medicine bottle in his clan leader's room, he felt at ease.
Looking at the room filled with firewood, Chen Ning stood up and walked towards the door, feeling bored. He opened the wooden door and walked out of the woodshed. What greeted Chen Ning's eyes was a small lake and some flowers and trees. Beside the small lake was a small path filled with stones. The small path was also filled with flowers and plants. There was also a small pavilion beside the small lake. There was a stone table in the pavilion, and there were four stone stools beside the table. The frog cry that Chen Ning heard came from the small lake.
At night, a bright moon hung high in the sky, emitting a bright white moonlight that dyed the pitch-black sky a faint silver. Even the scattered clouds in the sky could be clearly seen.
Chen Ning came to the stone table in the pavilion and sat on a stone bench. He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and fell into deep thought. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as numbness and diarrhea. The night breeze blew Chen Ning's messy hair and tattered clothes.
In Chen Ning's mind, the memories of his time with Black Panther kept flashing. During the battle with the Blue Demonic Wolf, Black Panther, Hu Wen, and the other mercenaries had sacrificed their lives to stall the Blue Demonic Wolf so that Chen Ning could escape. Although he was not from this world, Chen Ning could not forget those scenes. The scene of Brother Black Panther, Hu Wen, and the mercenaries not fearing death was like a brand that had been deeply imprinted into the depths of Chen Ning's soul. He would never forget this.
Especially Black Panther, who had always been devoted to him and never expected anything in return. No matter what Chen Ning did not understand, Black Panther would patiently explain it to him. He had also protected Chen Ning during the battle with the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. There were a few times when he was injured while helping Chen Ning. Especially when he saw that he was about to die under the Green Demonic Wolf's mouth yesterday, he did not hesitate to save him. In the end, he lost his life. Chen Ning could never forget this scene. Heibao was no longer just his big brother. In Chen Ning's heart, Heibao was his family. However, he could not do anything as he watched Heibao die in front of him. Two streams of tears rolled down Chen Ning's face.
"Big brother, what is your greatest wish in this life?"
"My greatest wish in this life is to form the strongest mercenary team in the Xuantian Continent in the future. No immortal mountain or sacred dynasty will dare to be my enemy. Hahahahaha…"
The scenes from the past kept replaying in Chen Ning's mind. Chen Ning sat on the stone bench, and his dull eyes gradually regained some light. He clenched his fists tightly and muttered,"Big Brother, don't worry. I, Chen Ning, will definitely fulfill your unfinished wish. I, Chen Ning, promise you that I will do my best in this life to establish a mercenary group that will stand at the top of the Xuantian Continent in your name.”Chen Ning's low voice was filled with determination.
The night was calm. Chen Ning stood up and walked to the edge of the gazebo. He looked at the clear water in the lake. The bright moon was reflected on the lake, and the breeze blew Chen Ning's long hair that was scattered on his shoulders. He looked at the lake that occasionally rippled. He couldn't help but think of a song he liked in his previous life."Tonight, the breeze blew gently and moved my heart. How many sealed feelings of the past returned to my heart. The past drifted with the wind and hurt my heart. You are the most beautiful dream that I can't forget, hidden deep in my memories.”
"This person has passed away, but the living are like this. Big brother, I miss you.”Chen Ning looked up at the moon in the sky with a numb expression. In his misty eyes, he seemed to see Heibao's familiar face. Heibao was gone, and his only family in this world had left him. As an orphan, Chen Ning could not feel this kind of emotion.
Just as Chen Ning was standing in the pavilion with a lonely expression, a crisp and sweet voice sounded in her ear." Big brother, what are you doing here? What were you humming just now? It sounded so meaningful."”Qin Zixuan pulled a woman in white and walked slowly towards the pavilion where Chen Ning was. Qin Zixuan smiled at Chen Ning.
"A song from my hometown. Why is Miss Zi Xuan here…" Chen Ning turned around and forced a smile at Qin Zixuan.
"My sister and I came to see you, so we happened to hear the song you were humming just now.”Qin Zixuan wrinkled her cute nose and said to Chen Ning as she walked into the gazebo with the woman in white.
Chen Ning looked at Qin Zixuan. She was still as mischievous as she was during the day. The woman in white beside her was calm, but her eyes were cold. She only gave Chen Ning a cold glance. Seeing Chen Ning looking at her, the woman in white opened her small mouth slightly and said to Chen Ning in a cold tone,"I think your injuries are almost healed. If there's nothing serious, you can leave the Qin family tomorrow.”After saying that, he pulled Qin Zixuan's hand and gestured for her to leave.
"Sister, why are you chasing me away? Big Brother just applied medicine during the day, so he will recover so quickly. Big Brother, don't take it to heart. My sister is like this. She has a sharp tongue, but she is actually kind-hearted. It was the two of us who brought you back yesterday.”Seeing that the woman in white was about to chase Chen Ning away, Qin Zixuan snorted before Chen Ning could say anything.
"Thank you for saving my life. Chen Ning has no words to thank you. I will repay you in the future.”Although the woman in white's tone was cold, Chen Ning did not get angry because of it. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Moreover, she had saved him. If it were not for them, he would have died in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
"We did it in passing. You don't have to talk about repayment. Zi Xuan has seen him. He's fine.”The woman in white was unmoved by Chen Ning's words. Her tone was still extremely cold. After she finished speaking, she pulled Qin Zixuan away. "Big brother, I'll come and see you tomorrow.”Qin Zixuan waved at Chen Ning.
Although Chen Ning was unhappy with the woman in white's cold treatment, he could understand it. The Qin family was a first-class family in Heaven's Wall City, and he looked like someone who lived at the bottom of the society. The distance between the two was like heaven and earth. In his previous life, Chen Ning had already been used to society, so he naturally did not have any emotional fluctuations.
After Qin Zixuan and the woman in white left, Chen Ning stayed for a while longer before returning to the woodshed. He sat cross-legged on the straw mat and continued to cultivate. He only had one goal now, and that was to become stronger.
The night was quiet. Time passed quietly as Chen Ning cultivated. The next morning, Chen Ning, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the sunlight that shone through the window in the woodshed and picked up the package that was placed beside the straw mat. Chen Ning looked at the package in his hand and could not help but think of the black panther. His heart stirred and he could not help but sigh. He carried the package and the sword on his back and opened the door to leave the Qin family. Although Chen Ning should stay here for a few more days due to his injuries, However, the woman in white's words last night made Chen Ning not want to stay here at all. Although Chen Ning did not blame the woman in white's rather repulsive words, he did not want to stay here any longer. Chen Ning still had this arrogance.
