Thinking of this, Ling Ying carried Xiang Sheng on her back, rose from the ground, and flew out of the tiankeng in the blink of an eye.
The tiankeng was not far from the main city of Zhiyao Star. After Ling Ying had identified the direction, she turned into an arrow and rushed towards the main city.
Less than half an hour later, a large number of city guards rushed to the tiankeng...
…
It was three days later that Xiang Sheng "woken up".
Ling Ying was not good at healing, so after returning to Tingfeng Tower, she immediately invited a medical immortal to come and treat her.
There was a power that defied the heavens covering the outside of the blood hole. The medical immortal could not see anything. He just said that it was not serious and the poisonous smoke had not been completely eliminated. He asked the patient to drink medicine for three days and then see.
So Xiang Sheng waited very punctually for three days.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Sijiu standing by the bed.
Sijiu was always paying attention to Xiang Sheng's movements. When he saw her open her eyes, he was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Sister Chen, you're finally awake! I'll go call Master Ling now!"
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry without waiting for Xiang Sheng to speak.
Xiang Sheng curled the corners of her lips helplessly and was about to sit up when the piercing pain in her right shoulder made her brows droop suddenly.
The injury worsened...
"Chen Xiang!"
Before Ling Ying's people arrived, a voice came from outside. Xiang Sheng immediately smoothed his brows and propped himself up to sit up.
The next moment, Ling Ying, dressed in fiery red, stepped through the threshold and sat down beside the bed. "You're finally awake, but why are you still so pale?"
Upon hearing this, the Medical Immortal following behind immediately stepped forward to take Xiang Sheng's wrist pulse. After a moment, he let go of his hand with a slightly confused look and said hesitantly:
"He's fine now, but his complexion... maybe he was too frightened and hasn't recovered yet."
Ling Ying was relieved when she heard this, "That's good, Chen Xiang, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiang Sheng smiled and shook his head slightly: "I'm fine, I was just scared."
"This is just the beginning. I'm in the Red and Green Army..."
Ling Ying was halfway through her words when she saw the Medical Immortal still there. She waved her hand and asked her to leave before continuing, "When I was in the Red and Green Army, this level of danger was commonplace. Your mind is so fragile, you need more experience."
Xiang Sheng smiled when she heard this, "Sister Ling is absolutely right. I'm grateful for your advice."
"Girl, if you want to learn, then learn. Why are you laughing?"
Ling Ying snorted softly, and then her voice became a little weak. "But this incident is indeed not common."
Xiang Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and she pretended to be surprised: "Sister, you figured it out so quickly?"
"Of course it wouldn't be that fast if I checked it myself."
Ling Ying's expression became a little complicated: "But this time it was City Lord Ji who died. The next morning, people from the Ji clan came, and Tingfenglou assisted.
But within just two days, the truth of the Blood Pill case was revealed."
"City Lord Ji is dead?!" Xiang Sheng was horrified.
Sijiu stood by and watched Xiang Sheng's performance with a dim gaze.
Sister Shen's acting skills are really flawless. He is so far behind...
Ling Ying didn't notice Sijiu's abnormality, sighed, and nodded:
"Yes, he's dead. He was also responsible for the blood pill incident.
You casually reminded me in the carriage to be wary of everyone, including City Lord Ji. Unexpectedly, your words actually came true.
After the Ji family came here, I realized that Ji Teng was a man you can’t judge by his appearance.
In his early years, he used evil cultivation methods to achieve the Golden Immortal, but was discovered by his clan, deprived of his Dao and exiled here to guard the city.
Unwilling to give up, he secretly contacted Huacheng and bought a batch of blood pills. However, when he was taking them, something unexpected happened and he was unable to suppress the medicinal properties of the ghost grass, so he exploded and died.
He was originally a Golden Immortal, and there was still some Dao left in his body. After his self-explosion, his origin was in turmoil, disrupting time and space, and even the Golden Immortal could not trace it back.
No one knows what happened to him before he exploded, or how many blood pills he consumed, so it's impossible to convict him."
But the people have been blown to pieces, their souls annihilated, so it is meaningless for us to discuss the severity of their crimes now."
At this point, Ling Ying smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something happy.
The blood pill was traced back to its source, and my mission was completed. I will have made many contributions after returning.
You deserve at least half of the credit. Tell me, what do you want? I'll get it for you."
Xiang Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really...really?"
"certainly!"
Ling Ying patted her chest and promised, but then felt that she was too confident and added: "As long as it is within my ability."
"Then... Sister Ling, can you recommend me to join the Red and Green Army?"
Xiang Sheng finally revealed his true intentions, "My sister said that I need more experience. I... I think joining the Red and Green Army would be a good choice."
"That's easy!"
When Ling Ying heard that Xiang Sheng's request was so simple, she smiled and was about to agree, but then she remembered the former's cultivation level, which was only a second-level immortal, and the smile on her face froze.
The minimum threshold for a casual immortal to join the Red and Green Army is three tribulations, two tribulations... She doesn't even have room to maneuver, how can she agree?
Looking at the girl's face full of expectation, Ling Ying's words of refusal got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
Thinking back to how she always boasted about how dangerous the battlefield outside the domain was, and how she urged Xiang Sheng to gain more experience...
This... could it be that this girl has developed a yearning for the Red and Green Army because she brags too much in her daily life?
If I refuse, wouldn't I become a huge sinner?
Ling Ying regretted her decision, but she had to admit her boasting even if she had to kneel down.
Thinking of the credit she would receive after returning this time, she gritted her teeth and nodded:
"Okay, I promise you!
However, your realm is not high enough to become a formal Red and Green Sergeant. If you don't mind, come back with me and serve as my attendant."
"I don't mind!"
Xiang Sheng showed joy on his face, but then he said embarrassedly: "I also know that my realm is not enough, and I have embarrassed Sister Ling.
After entering the camp, I will definitely serve tea and water to Sister Ling and do my duty as a waiter."
"That's your problem."
Ling Ying sighed, it was all her own fault.
"I don't need anyone to wait on me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have thought of having a waiter.
After you enter, you should practice diligently. When your realm is high enough, I will recommend you to take the assessment and become a formal Red and Green Sergeant. How do you do that?
"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Ling in everything."
"Well, we'll set off in two days. You should take a good rest."
Ling Ying gave some careful instructions and left with a bitter face.
Sijiu went over to close the door, returned to the bedside, looked at Xiang Sheng, whose face was still pale, tilted his head, and looked a little puzzled.
Lord Ling has gone out, why is Sister Shen still pretending?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Xiang Sheng suddenly groan, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
“Sister Shen!”
Sijiu was horrified and just as he was about to step forward, Xiang Sheng raised his head and gave him a pair of cold eyes, forcing him to stop.
"Go out and watch, and sound the alarm if anyone comes."
"I'll go right away!"
Sijiu nodded hurriedly, walked quickly to the door, took a deep breath, and his expression returned to normal. He opened the door and walked out.
Xiang Sheng watched him close the door, his eyes darkening slightly.
Sijiu is a good kid.
