"Let me take a look at your injuries. As long as they are not too strange, I can handle them." Feng Baichuan walked to the bed and sighed.

Yun Che shook his head: “No need, I can take care of this injury myself, so I don’t need to worry about you. You are facing a great disaster right now, so there must be a lot of things that you, as the clan leader, need to do, so you don’t need to worry about us.”

Feng Baichuan did not insist and nodded: "Okay, you guys take a good rest here first, and call us if you need anything... I hope those villains can come later."

Feng Baichuan closed the door and walked out with a worried look on his face. Yun Che tapped his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Is your injury really not serious? You fell from such a high place before." Lan Xueruo asked worriedly.

Yun Che shook his head with a relaxed look on his face and said with a smile: “I remember telling Senior Sister before that I am a miracle doctor. To a miracle doctor, this little injury is nothing at all.”

The injuries on his body would definitely be considered serious injuries to others, but in his eyes, they were only minor injuries.

“Miracles doctor? Even if you really are a miraculous doctor, can you just throw away your own life like this?” Thinking of how Yun Che had saved her life twice in a row, Lan Xueruo’s eyes slightly turned red: “If you really died, I would never be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life.”

“Haha,” Yun Che laughed. “What Yuan Ba said is absolutely correct. Senior Sister is really too kind. Originally, it was me who caused Senior Sister trouble. I should be the one blaming myself, but now Senior Sister is blaming herself.”

Lan Xueruo's eyes flickered slightly, she bit her lip and whispered, "Junior Brother Yun, don't do that again, okay? In fact, I have many protective treasures on me, so I won't be hurt that easily. If something similar happens again, you can't risk your life to protect me, just protect yourself."

“I can’t do it.” Yun Che shook his head resolutely.

"Why can't you do it? Don't you value your life at all?" Lan Xueruo's heart skipped a beat.

“No! I cherish my life very much. No matter what happens, I will not allow myself to die. It’s just… it’s just…” Yun Che closed his eyes, not wanting Lan Xueruo to see the sadness in the depths of his eyes: “I once felt guilty towards a girl who treated me the best… But in the end, she died in my arms because of me… I think I will never forget the pain of that moment even if I live ten lives. From that day on, I swear that I will never let a girl who treats me well get hurt again… Never!”

“…That girl shouldn’t be your current wife, right?” Lan Xueruo looked at Yun Che, her eyes revealing a complexity that she herself didn’t understand.

"Of course not. But she was pretty good to me, so I should be pretty good to her, too." Thinking of Xia Qingyue, Yun Che smiled gently. Although the few days he shared a bed with her were brief, the memories were still very beautiful. It was just that he might never see her again, but she was firmly imprinted in his heart as his "wife". Because this was his first wife in his two lives - even if they were husband and wife in name only, not in reality.

“Junior Brother Yun, you are only sixteen years old! Not only have you gotten married at such a young age, but a girl has also died because of you… Maybe there are other girls who have also been harmed by you. I have seen many men who are promiscuous and sentimental, but this is the first time I have seen someone as young as you.” Lan Xueruo said with a smile. She knew the identity of Yun Che’s “wife” very well. Because she had someone go to Xinyue City to find out everything about Yun Che a few days ago, it was already known in Floating Cloud City that his wife Xia Qingyue was a disciple of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. It also made her Xia family become the first giant in Floating Cloud City, and no one dared to mess with them. After all, among the four major sects, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace had the fewest disciples and was famous for protecting its own shortcomings.

Yun Che smiled, but didn’t comment. He asked, “So, Senior Sister, do you have a crush on someone now?”

"Me? Of course not. Senior Sister wouldn't be like you, flirting with other girls at such a young age." Lan Xueruo pursed her lips and smiled.

“Huh, luckily there isn’t any, otherwise I would be so heartbroken.” Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief, and even his expression relaxed a lot.

"...You little boy! It's not wrong to say you're promiscuous." Lan Xueruo raised her nose with a look of reproach. Then she raised her beautiful face with a look of longing: "I, your senior sister, will marry a hero who can conquer the world in the future. A promiscuous boy like you is not my type at all, not to mention that you're already married."

Yun Che: “…”

"Have a good rest. Xiaoxue was too tired from flying before, and her strength is overdrawn. She may need to sleep for a while. When she wakes up, we can leave here. As for the people here, I have promised those two little guys that I will help them within my ability."

After talking to Yun Che for a few words, he could clearly feel that he was struggling more and more, so he stopped bothering him, walked out, and gently closed the door.

"Are you interested in what they are guarding?" Jasmine suddenly asked as Lan Xueruo left.

“Of course!” Yun Che closed his eyes and said, “Since there is the breath of the phoenix, it is very likely that it is something left behind by the phoenix! The ancient mythical beast phoenix! Even if it is just a feather of the bird, it is at the Divine Mysterious level! Now that an outsider has discovered this place, even if they fail to obtain the things they are guarding, they are very likely to spread the news here. By then, we don’t know who will get it.”

“Humph! How can mortals get their hands on things belonging to ancient mythical beasts?” Jasmine snorted in disdain and stopped talking, as if to warn Yun Che.

In silence, Yun Che checked the wounds on his body, then immersed his mind into the Sky Poison Pearl. He soon found more than a dozen medicinal herbs he wanted to find. After a short smelting, he obtained a ball of pitch-black jelly, which he evenly smeared on his left shoulder, then closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When Yun Che woke up again, it was already the next morning. He was awakened by the chaotic noise coming from outside.

“…If you know what’s good for you, immediately unlock the seal array in the back mountain! You are the guardian family here, there must be a way to unlock it! Don’t refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!” Such a rough and violent voice was mixed with strong ferocity and threats.

"The seal has always existed, and we have no idea what it is! Let alone how to unlock it! We are just a small clan living in seclusion here. If there really is some treasure, how could our clan have fallen to this point?" This was Feng Baichuan's voice.

"Hahahaha! Do you think we are three-year-old children? I will believe your nonsense! Our leader and deputy leader have come in person today. If you continue to fool me, I will wipe out your entire clan!"

………………

These sounds... could it be...

Yun Che quickly sat up from the bed. His left shoulder was still in great pain, and his movements were not flexible, but it was much better than yesterday. Almost half of the injuries on his body had healed, and his body was no longer as weak as yesterday. At least he could walk normally. Just as he was about to get out of bed, the door was pushed open. Lan Xueruo rushed in. Seeing that Yun Che had woken up, she said anxiously, "Junior Brother Yun, this is bad. The Black Demon Mercenary Group has come today. There are more than a hundred people, and they have completely blocked the entrance to the village."

“How could it be so fast?” Yun Che frowned.

“Chief Feng and his men were also caught off guard. The entire clan is now on alert.” Lan Xueruo’s expression was filled with anxiety.

At this time, another loud roar came from outside: "Is that little beauty from yesterday here with you? No treasure? That's fine! Hand over that little beauty to me first! Let us have some fun first, maybe, you'll forget about the treasure, hahahaha."

A large number of lewd laughter came from afar. Yun Che's brows furrowed... He suddenly understood why this mercenary group called "Black Devil" suddenly attacked so urgently... Obviously, they were not sure whether there were any treasures here before. Judging from the profound strength of the people here, anyone with a normal mind could judge that even if there were any treasures, they would not be much better. But Lan Xueruo had fought with three people from this mercenary group yesterday. With Lan Xueruo's appearance, it was enough to shock them. They rushed here not for any treasures, but for Lan Xueruo! They were afraid that she would run away at night.

“These evil people!” Lan Xueruo bit her lip lightly, her face full of anger: “Junior Brother Yun, you are injured, stay here and don’t go out. I will go and teach them a lesson.”

If Lan Xueruo had killed those three people yesterday, they wouldn't have been so impatient to attack. Yun Che couldn't blame Lan Xueruo. After all, she was just a young girl with a soft heart. He grabbed Lan Xueruo and asked with a frown, "What is the cultivation level of the people in this mercenary group?"

"It seems that the entry standards are limited. All the people are above the Elementary Profound Realm! The lowest Xuanli is also at the first level of the Entry Profound Realm. There are more than 80 people from level 1 to 5, more than 30 people above the Entry Profound Realm level 5, and four people... should be their leader and deputy leader, who have even reached the True Profound Realm." Lan Xueruo frowned and said. Such a lineup is impossible for Feng Baichuan and others who are only at the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm to resist.

“True Profound Realm…” Yun Che took a deep breath and tightened his grip on Lan Xueruo’s hand, “No! You can’t go! You heard their shouts just now. They are probably coming to target you this time. Let alone the more than one hundred people in the Nascent Profound Realm, the leaders of those True Profound Realm alone are simply not something we can handle.”

“They have completely blocked the entrance to the village. Even if we want to escape, we can’t. Besides… maybe I can barely handle them.” Lan Xueruo said as she reached out and untied the pearl necklace around her neck. For a moment, her profound energy aura quickly rose in Yun Che’s surprised eyes: “The pearl on this necklace is called the ‘Locking Profound Pearl’. Wearing it can suppress the wearer’s profound energy by five levels. My true profound energy cultivation is at the third level of the True Profound Realm. It’s not that easy for them to hurt me.”

The change in Lan Xueruo's profound strength surprised Yun Che a little. An eighteen-year-old at the third level of the True Profound Realm... This was an astonishing realm that did not belong to Xiao Luocheng, the first genius of New Moon City! He was surprised and asked, "Senior Sister, why would you..."

"I don't want to draw too much attention to myself, so I chose this. Anyway, you stay here, and I will find a way to take you away from here."

Lan Xueruo was about to leave after she finished speaking, but was stopped by Yun Che again: “Even if Senior Sister has the strength of the True Profound Realm, the other party has four True Profound Realm masters! Maybe, their average level is even higher than yours... If there is absolutely no way out, I will go out with you.”
