"I was just doing my duty, is that wrong?" Bai Zilin said somewhat angrily.
“That’s right, but can’t we do things within our capabilities?” Ye Xingchen glanced at her: “I stopped you twice in Xu Jie’s matter, and because of protecting you, I was infected with corpse poison twice.”
"If it weren't for the innate true energy within me, I might be lying in bed right now. When you were on a mission, didn't you ever cause your teammates to sacrifice themselves because of your recklessness?"
"I..." Bai Zilin was stunned. She couldn't help but recall that because of her stubbornness, her master had been injured and forced to retire.
Because he gave a death order, his team members were killed...
One by one, the dead and the wounded appeared before her eyes.
"Because of your mistakes, some of them have died and others have been injured, while you have been showered with honors. Have you ever thought about them? Behind every one of those who have died or been injured, there is a family?" Ye Xingchen said sternly.
Bai Zilin stared at Ye Xingchen, tears streaming down her face.
She acts without considering the consequences, charging forward with the unyielding courage passed down in the Bai clan.
However, she never considered the consequences until Ye Xingchen brought it up today, which was like a wake-up call, making her completely realize the situation.
"I've healed you today, but remember, always act within your limits. You can die yourself, but don't drag others down with you, understand?" A sharp glint flashed in Ye Xingchen's eyes.
He just used his divine sense to plant a spiritual imprint on Bai Zilin.
Ye Xingchen did this to make her remember Biao Chu's matter; otherwise, even if he saved her today, she might very well implicate others in the future.
"I understand." Bai Zilin nodded.
"Take the medicine, I promise you'll feel better after taking it." Ye Xingchen brought the medicine to her lips.
Bai Zilin opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine.
After taking the medicine, the dark aura on her face dissipated at an extremely fast speed, and soon her complexion became rosy again.
Bai Zilin tentatively moved her hand.
"How are you feeling?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"It's alright, it's just that my hands and feet are a little numb," Bai Zilin said.
"This is a normal healing reaction, don't worry," Ye Xingchen said. "It will be fine in half an hour."
After staying there for a while, Bai Zilin was able to get up and walk slowly, and she was fully recovered half an hour later.
"Alright, you've recovered. Don't go on any calls for the next week. Take leave and stay home," Ye Xingchen said. "Contact me if you feel unwell."
"Xu Jie, what are your plans to do?" Bai Zilin asked.
"That's not something you should be worrying about. What I just said was like talking to a brick wall," Ye Xingchen said helplessly.
Bai Zilin blushed. Indeed, Ye Xingchen had been trying to persuade her earnestly, but it seemed unlikely that she would change her stubborn nature in a short time.
"Thank you." After a while, Bai Zilin let out a breath.
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Yijin. She went to the black market to buy medicine for you." Ye Xingchen pointed at Li Yijin.
"No need to thank me, it's all my duty. If I hadn't called you out, none of this would have happened." Li Yijin's face flushed slightly.
After dealing with things here, Ye Xingchen and Li Yijin left.
"Honey, am I safe now?" Li Yijin grabbed his arm and rubbed against it, making Ye Xingchen feel itchy.
"That depends on whether your Li family has any enemies left." Ye Xingchen said helplessly, "I'm leaving Yanjing..."
"What? You're leaving Yanjing? Where are you going? I want to go with you." Li Yijin grabbed his arm desperately and wouldn't let go.
"It's time to avenge Su Ruochu. Don't worry, I'll take her to Qingxianju and get justice for her before I come back," Ye Xingchen said.
"You scared me to death! I thought you were leaving." Li Yijin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but she hugged Ye Xingchen even tighter: "Sister Su's background is also pitiful."
"There's nothing we can do. Everything is fate, and we have no control over it," Ye Xingchen sighed.
"She's a good girl." Li Yijin glanced at Ye Xingchen secretly.
"Yes, she's a good girl, what's wrong?" Ye Xingchen looked at her with some curiosity.
"She likes you." Li Yijin gritted her teeth.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Ye Xingchen asked, both amused and exasperated.
"I think no one could resist such a beautiful girl, right?" Li Yijin blinked her big eyes.
“No one usually refuses.” Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Why don't you take her in, and we..."
"Shut up, let's go home." Ye Xingchen knew what she wanted to say, so he covered her mouth, both amused and exasperated, and left.
Su Ruochu's strength has been restored. Before her death, her grandmother bestowed all the luck she had cultivated upon her, and now she is like a lotus flower about to bloom.
When Ye Xingchen found her, she was sitting in front of the artificial lake, meditating. The lake was filled with blue lotus flowers, and the beautiful lotus flowers were in full bloom.
A faint, wisp of wind swirled around her, keeping even mosquitoes at bay.
Meditation is an extremely profound concept in Buddhist meditation. Because the old lady blessed her with good fortune before she passed away, she awakened her Buddhist intentions. Now she practices both Confucianism and Buddhism.
Ye Xingchen stood quietly behind her until she exhaled a wisp of white breath and then slowly opened her eyes.
"How long have you been here?" Su Ruochu asked Ye Xingchen with a puzzled look.
"It's been a while." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "It seems your strength has improved again, and you've even grasped the essence of Zen, combining Confucianism and Buddhism. Your future prospects are immeasurable."
"This is a gift my grandmother gave me before she passed away." Su Ruochu sighed softly, "It's a pity she's no longer here."
"The old lady was a Buddhist practitioner, and a person of great wisdom. Although she broke the three precepts to enter Buddhism that day and exhausted her life force, she still retained wisdom."
Ye Xingchen said, "If she can enter reincarnation, she will definitely remember what happened in this life. At that time, you can find her and continue your past life's destiny."
"It's just that she can't take the initiative to contact you. In this vast sea of people, whether you can find her depends on fate."
"Really?" Su Ruochu was both surprised and delighted. She never expected things to take such a turn for the better.
“Really, so your top priority is to improve your strength. In three days, I will take you to Qingxian Residence to deal with Ding Yulong,” Ye Xingchen said.
“Alright.” Su Ruochu nodded heavily: “It’s a pity that everyone says Qingxianju is a holy land of martial arts, with three realms in one school. There are many sycophants in the martial arts world. Who would care that Ding Yulong is a ruthless killer?”
“Ding Yulong is now highly respected.” Ye Xingchen said calmly, “After all, Yanjing is located at the junction of three provinces and is not a martial arts center. Even a master of celestial phenomena is highly respected.”
