With the combined efforts of inside and outside forces, the Holy Cult members were quickly routed, and Bai Qinghuai led his men to join Xiao Yuan and his group.
Although he was wondering who the woman next to Qingyu was, Bai Qinghuai didn't ask for the time being.
The cult leader was captured, and his subordinates were either killed or injured.
"You will all be punished by the new god!" the cult leader roared hoarsely.
Bai Qingyu rolled her eyes. Because someone was protecting her, she wasn't afraid anymore. She walked over disdainfully after hearing the sect leader's words.
He ripped off his cloak and then pointed at his nose, starting to hurl insults at him.
The injured Chinese people around had all been sent for treatment. Fortunately, these people's peculiar habits gave everyone time to receive treatment.
Tired of cursing, Bai Qingyu stopped, only to see that the cult leader's face had turned a deep purplish-red.
Xiao Yuan felt like he was about to die of anger.
"You should recognize us, right?" Xiao Yuan stepped forward and asked in a cold voice.
The cult leader squinted and carefully examined each of them.
After a long while, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
"You are from the Bai family, and you are from the Xiao family." The cult leader could speak a few words of Mandarin, which everyone could barely understand.
"So you've been the one targeting me from behind the scenes all along?" Bai Qinghuai continued to question.
The cult leader sneered, maintaining a look of faith even after being captured.
“The new god chose you, and I am merely following the new god’s instructions.”
The group frowned simultaneously.
Xiao Yuan recalled the time someone cast a curse that almost killed his younger brother, and then asked:
"Do your new gods also use those despicable and harmful methods?"
"Insolence!" the cult leader cursed.
“The new god is right in all he does. Since he has chosen you, you should obediently give up your lives for the Holy Church.”
Hearing his somewhat delusional words, everyone fell silent.
This cult leader seems to be mentally unstable...
Just then, Mo Yunze ran over. His undercover identity was that of a doctor here, so he usually had more contact with the cult leader.
Seeing that he was actually acquainted with Xiao Yuan and the others, the sect leader's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he began to curse even more fiercely.
“I always felt there was something wrong with the new god he was talking about,” Xiao Yuan said, frowning.
“That’s right. I just checked the room he never lets anyone in, and I found a statue of a person in his secret room. Judging from the incense and fresh fruit on it, it must be wiped clean every day.” Mo Yunze nodded in response.
"Could it be that this new god is human?" Bai Qinghuai asked in surprise.
They had always thought it was just a simple belief.
"If it's a human, then it makes sense. The assassination attempt on me and Yang Jing back then is probably related to this new god." A line appeared in Xiao Yuan's mind.
While these people were talking, no one noticed that the cult leader's eyes changed.
His eyes suddenly became dull and lifeless, and he appeared completely dazed.
The next second, the originally old cult leader suddenly became incredibly strong, broke free from the two people binding him, and rushed straight towards Bai Qinghuai.
Bai Qinghuai and Xiao Yuan were standing face to face, so Xiao Yuan noticed them immediately.
The cult leader was very fast, arriving in front of them almost in the blink of an eye.
Before anyone could react, the cult leader pulled out a hammer from somewhere, raised it high, and smashed it down on Bai Qinghuai's head.
Xiao Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he pulled Bai Qinghuai over.
But unexpectedly, the leader's real target was Xiao Yuan!
The hammer swung around a corner, and with a loud bang, Xiao Yuan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
Gritting his teeth and refusing to faint, Xiao Yuan turned around and kicked the sect leader.
His foot felt as if it had kicked a stone.
Xiao Yuan used all his strength, and the sect leader was forced back a great distance, but he did not fall.
At that moment, Xiao Yuan felt liquid flowing from his head.
"Something's wrong with him," Xiao Yuan said in a low voice.
Everyone realized what was happening, and the subordinates rushed forward to grab the cult leader tightly.
But no matter how much he was hit or pulled, the cult leader seemed to feel nothing.
Seeing Xiao Yuan so badly injured, Bai Qinghuai became ruthless and made a gesture to his subordinate.
Before Xiao Yuan fainted, he heard a loud gunshot.
When Bai Qingzhi received the news, Xiao Yuan had already boarded a plane back to China, but he remained unconscious.
Xiao Yuan was sent to his family hospital at 1 a.m. that night, where he was diagnosed with brain damage and there was a possibility that he would never wake up again.
Bai Qingzhi felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had darkened in an instant.
Bai Qinghuai remained silent, his heart filled with guilt.
Sitting blankly in front of Xiao Yuan's hospital bed, Bai Qingzhi's mind kept replaying all the things the two of them had done in the past.
In her memory, Xiao Yuan was omnipotent, extremely gentle, and always had a smile on his lips when he was with her.
Bai Qingzhi lost her appetite for three days and didn't sleep or rest, just staring blankly at Xiao Yuan.
Where no one could see her, she cried again and again, and then healed herself.
Finally, on the fourth day, she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted. Her family knew what she was thinking, so they didn't take her anywhere else, but instead arranged a bed for her in Xiao Yuan's ward.
The night was quiet, and the wind was exceptionally gentle today.
When Xiao Yuan opened his eyes, he was momentarily confused, his nose filled with the smell of disinfectant.
In an instant, I realized that I was in a hospital.
Xiao Yuan moved his head slightly, wincing in pain. He then carefully touched his bandaged wound, realizing that he was injured.
But I can't remember how I got hurt no matter what.
He heard soft breathing sounds nearby. Xiao Yuan slowly turned his head and, by the moonlight, saw the woman on another bed.
He doesn't know him.
The woman seemed to be sleeping soundly, though her sleeping posture wasn't very attractive, but Xiao Yuan didn't feel any disgust in his heart.
On the contrary, I felt like laughing.
The kind that comes from the heart.
He accidentally moved his hand and touched something nearby, making a slight sound. Immediately afterward, Xiao Yuan saw the woman on the bed move.
Bai Qingzhi slept soundly. In her dream, Xiao Yuan was not injured, and the two of them were still searching for delicious food.
He opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yuan; sure enough, the other party was still unconscious.
Bai Qingzhi got out of bed, washed her face, and then soaked a towel in hot water.
Listening to the sounds coming from the bathroom, Xiao Yuan felt completely lost.
Even though he didn't understand what had happened yet, he guessed that the woman might have a close relationship with him.
Otherwise, given his personality, how could his family possibly entrust this kind of thing to someone else?
The moment he saw the woman's feet step out, Xiao Yuan subconsciously closed his eyes again.
Soon, a warm sensation covered my face.
And those slightly cool fingers.
"Why won't you wake up? I've wanted to eat the steamed buns at that place in the west of the city for so long, but no one has taken me. And you promised me you'd take me to the amusement park when you got back." Bai Qingzhi said to herself, not caring whether Xiao Yuan could hear her or not.
