Seeing Xiao Yanran fall off her horse and faint, A Bao quickly jumped off and caught her.

"Brother, Sister Yanran's lower abdomen is covered in blood, and the wound is festering!"

Abao still had a good impression of Xiao Yanran. Although Ling Yun fawned over Xiao Yanran like a lapdog, she ignored him but never said anything insulting to him.

In private, Xiao Yanran did not treat A Bao like a servant.

Ling Yun glanced at Xiao Yanran's wound and knew that she hadn't treated it much after being injured, and had been riding her horse on the road.

Ling Yun was puzzled as to why Xiao Yanran would come looking for him after the engagement had been called off. He didn't think Xiao Yanran still had feelings for him.

"Little Green!"

Ling Yun summoned the Wood Spirit Witch Xiao Lü to heal Xiao Yanran.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yanran slowly opened her eyes and turned her head away angrily when she saw Ling Yun.

Ling Yun asked:

"How did you get here?!"

"None of your business!"

Xiao Yanran rolled her eyes at Ling Yun and said irritably.

"Alright, Bao, Ruyu, let's go!"

Lingyun jumped onto the horse, ready to take Abao and Yan Ruyu away.

Abao didn't move, so he quickly advised:

"Brother, it's too dangerous to leave Sister Yanran here alone. Her previous injuries must have been from encountering bad people on the road."

Yan Ruyu also advised:

"Brother, Miss Xiao must have something important to tell you. Why don't you listen to her?"

Ling Yun turned to look at Xiao Yanran and asked:

"Don't act like a spoiled princess, I'm not falling for that now."

"Hmph!" Xiao Yanran felt very wronged. She had finally become an outer disciple of the Immortal Martial Academy.

As a result, her mother wouldn't let her cultivate at the Immortal Martial Academy and insisted that she follow Ling Yun instead.

They also said that Ling Yun was no longer the cowardly abandoned son of the Ling family, and that he would surely become an unparalleled powerhouse who would dominate the Golden Cloud Continent in the future.

As long as Xiao Yanran follows Ling Yun, she will surely realize her dream of reaching for the stars and the sea in the future.

Xiao Yanran initially refused, but couldn't resist her mother's persuasion. She followed in Ling Yun's footsteps all the way, practically listening to Ling Yun's stories.

In Kowloon City, a thug was killed in the street; in Yuanling City, countless people were healed; and in Sword Immortal City, the Spirit Sword Sect was nearly wiped out.

A series of shocking events greatly changed Xiao Yanran's opinion of Ling Yun.

Xiao Yanran was aware that Ling Yun had been good to her back then, but Ling Yun was too cowardly and always swallowed his pride, which was not her type.

She likes men who are upright, fearless, and can take her on a journey through the stars and stand at the pinnacle of success.

"My mother insists that I follow you, so I have no choice but to!"

Ling Yun was slightly taken aback; Lin Qingchen's actions were somewhat unexpected.

However, Ling Yun knew Xiao Yanran too well; she had too many temper tantrums and couldn't endure hardship.

"Ahem~ Miss Xiao, you should go back. You'll go hungry three times a day if you stay with me, and there are people chasing you everywhere."

The naive Abao quickly said:

"Brother, we have tens of thousands of taels of silver, how could we let Sister Yanran go hungry?"

"You... fine~" Ling Yun was immediately speechless. It seemed that A Bao really wanted Xiao Yanran to join the team. Thinking about it, it was understandable. Xiao Yanran had found A Bao in the beggar's den.

Although it wasn't Xiao Yanran who saved Abao, it was she who asked Ling Yun to save him.

Seeing Xiao Yanran's aggrieved expression, Ling Yun sighed and asked with concern:

What happened to your injury?

"It's all because of you!" Xiao Yanran said irritably.

"I heard in Sword Immortal City that the Immortal Martial Academy was gathering many martial artists to ambush you in Zhongling City."

I rushed to tell you about this, and on the way I encountered two martial artists at the sixth level of Martial Soul Realm, and I was injured.

Ling Yun never expected that it was really because of his own injury.

After saying that, Xiao Yanran jumped onto her horse, looking aggrieved, and turned it around to leave.

He thought Ling Yun would be happy to see him and would be as attentive as before, but he was unexpectedly cold and indifferent, as if he owed Ling Yun five million.

"Hmph! Why aren't you trying to stop me from leaving!"

Seeing that Ling Yun didn't speak, Xiao Yanran slapped the horse's head in anger and muttered to herself:

"As expected, once you find a new love, you forget your old one."

Seeing Xiao Yanran walking further and further away, A Bao hurriedly said in a panic:

"Brother, Sister Yanran is gone. What if she encounters danger again?"

"Miss Xiao was also injured because of my brother. What if something else happens on the way?"

Yan Ruyu said with concern.

Ling Yun shook his head helplessly, knowing that Xiao Yanran was proud and arrogant, and that he didn't need to get angry with a woman.

"Ahem~ Miss Xiao, let's go together!"

Xiao Yanran's pretty face lit up with joy, but she immediately turned her horse around with a stern expression.

"You invited me!"

Ling Yun ignored her and rode forward on his horse.

Abao quickly waved his hand, signaling Xiao Yanran to follow.

On the way, through A Bao's introduction, Xiao Yanran learned that Yan Ruyu was also like herself, having been sent by her family to follow Ling Yun, which immediately lessened her hostility towards her.

As if she had just thought of something, Xiao Yanran quickly said:

"Ling Yun, you're still going to Zhongling City? There are many martial artists lying in ambush for you there!"

Ling Yun said calmly:

"Fearless!"

Ah Bao, standing to the side, laughed and said:

"Sister Yanran, my brother is now a great sword immortal. You didn't see how he almost wiped out the Spirit Sword Sect with a single sword strike..."

As Xiao Yanran listened to A Bao recount his experiences along the way, she was completely stunned.

Is this still the cowardly abandoned son of the Ling family? This is clearly the aura of a great emperor who looks down upon the world.

"Has this guy been possessed?"

Xiao Yanran suddenly had this thought in her mind.

A day later, Lingyun and his three companions passed by a mountain range.

At this moment, Xiao Yanran pointed to the depths of the mountains and said:

"Last time, when my master and I passed by here, we discovered a spiritual spring. Soaking in the spiritual spring once has the benefit of cleansing the marrow and tendons."

Soak in the sacred spring!

Ling Yun looked at Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran:

"Shall we soak together?"

Xiao Yanran rolled her eyes at Ling Yun, "Dream on! Ruyu and I will finish our baths first, then you can go!"

Without waiting for Yan Ruyu's reply, he pulled her into a valley deep in the mountains.

There really was a sacred spring inside, emitting billowing white mist.

Ling Yun glanced at the spiritual spring and nodded approvingly; it was indeed a good place for a bath.

"What are you two still doing here? You really want to be together!"

Xiao Yanran chased Ling Yun and A Bao away.

Ling Yun shook his head helplessly; Xiao Yanran's temper seemed to be much worse than before.

Then, Ling Yun patted Xiao Ma on the shoulder and said:

"I'll go find some herbs and give you a medicinal bath later to strengthen your body. Of course, you shouldn't be idle either; hunt some wild game and barbecue it. They must be hungry after traveling all day!"

"Okay, bro!"

After Lingyun left, Abao killed four Golden-Winged Rocs. After they were roasted, he saw that Lingyun had not returned.

Ah Bao then went to look for Ling Yun, but after searching around, he couldn't find Ling Yun, so he returned to where he was.

However, upon returning, they discovered that the four golden-winged rocs were gone.
