Lu Jingzhi turned his head slightly, not looking at Xu Mucheng's eyes full of resentment.
"Mu Qing, don't be like this, I'm helping you."
At this time, the healing power of the wood element circulated around Xu Mucheng's body, wherever he went.
The effect of the medicine that was tormenting her dissipated quickly like ice and snow meeting the warm sun.
Xu Mucheng only felt that his originally hot body was gradually cooling down, and the indescribable heat and unbearable feeling in his body was slowly fading away.
But she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Looking at Lu Jingzhi who was concentrating on dispelling the effects of the medicine for her, she couldn't help but speak again.
"Do you dislike me? I have..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Jingzhi.
"Mu Qing, don't let your imagination run wild."
"I have Yan An in my heart."
Hearing this, Xu Muqing still pouted and muttered softly.
"You are the only one who is devoted, others are..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and a blush appeared on her face. She didn't know whether it was from the lingering effect of the medicine or because of shyness.
As the power of the wood element continued to take effect, Xu Mucheng finally regained consciousness completely.
She stood up, straightened her messy clothes, and looked at the corpse of the leader of the Hehuan Sect on the ground.
He looked at Lu Jingzhi in front of him again, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Jingzhi, thank you. If it weren't for you, I really can't imagine what would have happened."
Lu Jingzhi put away the power of the wood element, walked to Xu Mucheng, and patted her shoulder gently.
"I'm glad you're okay."
When Xu Mucheng saw Lu Jingzhi like this, the little resentment in his heart instantly disappeared.
"By the way, why are you here?"
At this moment, Xu Mucheng's white hair suddenly turned red.
His eyes became a little colder and sharper.
She clenched her fist and hit Lu Jingzhi on the shoulder.
Lu Jingzhi groaned and took two steps back.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you hit me suddenly?"
Xu Muqing snorted and said unhappily, "What did you promise me?"
Lu Jingzhi touched his head, looking confused. "What did I promise you?"
"You said you wanted to separate our souls and build me a body."
"I've been waiting for you for so long, but you didn't even bring me here."
Looking at her resentful expression, Lu Jingzhi suddenly understood.
"I...I forgot."
After a pause, he said solemnly, "But there's no need for you to come to the Sanctuary. It's very dangerous."
"I'll come back and help you when I'm done."
"Huh, who said my purpose was just to find you?"
"So what are you doing?"
"Of course I went to the Liu family to find Sister Liu Qian."
"By the way, take a look at the differences of this sanctuary."
"I see, let's go out first then."
"Okay, I've found all the herbs. You can help us separate them later."
Lu Jingzhi nodded gently, "Okay, but do you have a body to accommodate the soul?"
"Not at the moment. Let's separate first. I want to be free."
Whenever the white-haired Xu Mucheng takes over the body, he falls into a deep sleep.
This really made her feel helpless.
Then, the two walked out of the secret room.
At this time, the villagers who were walking towards them, as well as the women captured by the Hehuan Sect, all walked forward and knelt on the ground with a thud, their eyes full of gratitude and awe.
Their voices trembled with relief at having survived the disaster.
"Thank you for saving me!"
"If it weren't for you, we would have died long ago..." an elderly villager said with a sob, and before he finished speaking, tears were already streaming down his face.
Lu Jingzhi quickly stepped forward, extended his hand to help the villager up, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Old man, there is no need to do this."
Xu Mucheng stood aside, his eyes sweeping over the rescued women, and a pang of sadness welled up in his heart.
She stepped forward and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, everyone. The Hehuan Sect has been eradicated. You are safe."
A young woman raised her head, her eyes filled with tears. Her voice was weak but full of gratitude: "Thank you both, benefactors... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have become playthings of the Hehuan Sect, living a life worse than death..."
Xu Muqing patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "Everything is over. You can go home now."
The villagers and women all stood up, their eyes still filled with gratitude and awe.
Lu Jingzhi looked around and said in a deep voice, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Although the Hehuan Sect has been destroyed, there is no guarantee that other forces will not covet it."
"Everyone leave as soon as possible. There is a town five miles away. You can stay there first."
The villagers thanked him repeatedly, their eyes red from crying.
The women supported each other, their eyes showing both confusion about the future and the joy of regaining their freedom.
After everyone gradually dispersed, Xu Muqing raised the corners of his mouth and said softly, "You are such a nice person."
Lu Jingzhi shrugged. "I didn't want to get involved, but I took action after seeing you get arrested."
"The rest are just a piece of cake. Besides, I killed so many people. Doing some good deeds can alleviate some of my sins."
"I see."
Xu Muqing was moved and said sincerely, "But thank you, Jingzhi."
"That's not necessary, we are friends."
Then, Lu Jingzhi turned to look at Xu Muqing, "Muqing, what are your plans next?"
Xu Muqing pondered for a moment and said softly, "My sister plans to go to the Liu family to find Sister Liu Qian first. Of course, I will see if I can find a suitable soul body."
"And you?"
Lu Jingzhi nodded: "I still have some things to deal with. Let me start helping you separate your soul now."
