Ye Lan didn't know that the current territory of the Pharmacist Sect was all the work of Wu Heng.
But he didn't want to expose it, so he was just happy in his heart, and pretended to be a good little brother. He got into the car with Ye Lan and left Feitian Ferry.
The car was driving on the road, with beautiful scenery and bright sunshine on both sides.
Wu Heng looked out the window, closed his eyes unconsciously, and raised the corners of his mouth, "This is very similar to the first time you sent me home."
Hearing this, Ye Lan also remembered the scene at that time, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "You weren't so happy then."
They searched for the Wu family all the way from the imperial capital, and halfway through, Wu Heng wanted to run away.
When the old embarrassing story was revealed, the young master touched his nose embarrassedly, thinking about how he was taciturn at that time and could not speak well. He obviously wanted to stay with Ye Lan but could not say it out loud, so he was silent and gloomy most of the time, wasting that time in vain.
Now I think I really shouldn't have done that.
He laughed, his dark eyes fixed intently on the figure on the other side, and said seriously, "I'm willing this time."
If possible, he would like to be with her for the rest of his life, no matter where she goes.
Unfortunately, Ye Lan didn't see the heat in his eyes. At this moment, she was looking at the vast expanse of abandoned farmland outside the car window with a bit of absent-mindedness.
Suddenly, something came out from the guardrail in front of the car. The driver could not dodge it in time and could only turn the steering wheel sharply to avoid it.
Seeing that the front of the car was about to hit the guardrail on the other side, Wu Heng urgently slapped the guardrail and used his internal energy to push the car away.
Creak——
When the sharp brake sound stopped, the driver patted his chest in shock, looked in the rearview mirror and said, "Young Master, it seems to be a person."
"Yeah." Wu Heng had already seen it, so he asked him to stay in the car while he opened the door and went down to check.
As soon as I closed the door, I heard movement from the other door and Ye Lan got out.
"I'll go and take a look. This area is not peaceful." Wu Heng hesitated for a moment and then advised.
Ye Lan shook his head and said directly: "I will take care of my own safety."
His tone was calm, as if he was not exposing his current predicament of being in a weak position.
This made Wu Heng feel a little ashamed, and he dared not say anything more.
The two men walked up to the figure and saw that the other person was covered in blood, and his face was blurry, as if he had been severely cut by a sharp weapon.
Fortunately, my chest was still rising and falling and I was still breathing.
Wu Heng's face looked bad. He squatted down and injected some internal energy into the other party to stop the bleeding. Then he called the disciples of Feiyundu to come and carry the person away.
"You know what hurt the other person." Ye Lan suddenly spoke, his words concise and to the point.
Wu Heng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "There has always been a monster at the foot of the mountain that eats people's left eyes. We have been hunting it for many years without any results. This person must have accepted the reward and came to catch the monster."
Unfortunately, these people only see the high reward but are not aware of the risk factors behind it.
Seeing this, Ye Lan knew that there were quite a few monks who had died here. He followed the bloodstains on the ground to the farmland outside the fence, walked all the way into the woods, and was about to go over.
"Don't go." Wu Heng reached out to stop her, disapproving, "That monster's cultivation is quite high. Even I have no chance of winning."
The implication of his words was clear.
If he went over there, he might not be able to protect Ye Lan.
Ye Lan didn't mind being treated like a delicate flower. After all, cultivation couldn't be faked. Her current level was just that of a rookie. However, "No one can protect me forever. I should also see the changes in this world."
If she is willing to be raised under the wings of others, she will be ruined.
Wu Heng pursed his lips and said nothing.
He really wanted to say that he could protect Ye Lan for the rest of his life, but he also knew very clearly that this was not the answer Ye Lan wanted.
Finally, the two men passed the guardrail and went down the slope, all the way from the farmland into the woods.
It was clearly broad daylight, and the forest didn't look very dense from the outside, but once you walked inside, the light felt dim, as if you had entered night.
There were sounds of fighting in the distance.
In the flickering light of the fire, Ye Lan and Wu Heng saw four young men in sportswear fighting with a black shadow.
The black shadow was extremely fast and agile, and it was very familiar with the forest. Not only did it jump up and down like a monkey and play with people, it also raised its sharp claws to hurt people from time to time.
"Ah!" One of the short young men failed to dodge in time and was scratched hard on the back. He screamed and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the other three could no longer hold on.
“Retreat first!”
At the command, the three of them carried their companions and ran out. They came to a big tree, drew a teleportation array, and began to move in the forest. Unfortunately, they couldn't get out when they reached the edge.
"Damn, the barrier of this one-eyed monster is too strong. I can't get out unless I kill it."
The group of four struggled for a long time but couldn't run away. Fortunately, they had temporarily gotten rid of the monster, so they sat on the ground exhausted and gasped.
Seeing one of them seriously injured, the young girl's eyes turned red. "I don't know how Binzai is doing. He was seriously injured. If he hadn't been treated in time, I'm afraid..."
She didn't dare to continue speaking, and just let out a whimper.
The tall, thin young man in the lead was helping the shorter man heal his wounds. Upon hearing this, he consoled him, "Don't worry. This place isn't far from Feiyun Ferry. There will definitely be disciples coming down the mountain who will find us. If the Medicine Master Sect takes action, Binzi will be fine."
The girl finally stopped crying after hearing this and responded, "Yeah."
The other person, however, was dissatisfied, panting and cursing, "If it weren't for Feiyundu, we wouldn't have come here to die. Such a small reward actually cost us something so deadly. We must be at least at the Xuanzhen stage."
Hearing the voice, the tall and thin young man said nothing and his face looked unhappy.
This time, they really underestimated the strength of the monsters.
It is easy to feel resentful and blame others when faced with difficulties.
They forgot that they came here in the first place because of the high reward and wanted to try their luck and make a fortune.
Now it's just hitting a wall.
Several people were feeling dejected when they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the woods. They immediately became alert and held their weapons tightly.
The next second, a torch came into view, and the young man led a slender woman out from behind the tree.
Seeing the shadows on the ground, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and frowned, asking, "Who are you?"
The tone was quite hostile.
Wu Heng understood and raised his hand to signal, "I'm from the Pharmacist Sect. I just came across a bloodied patient on the road. I was worried there might be patients here too, so I came to check."
Hearing this, the girl on the ground reacted immediately, "You saw Binzai, how is he now?"
"He's fine for now, but he lost too much blood and needs to rest. I've already notified my fellow apprentices to take him back to the sect."
After hearing Wu Heng's words, the girl almost cried for joy, and the others also looked much better.
Wu Heng also took the initiative to offer to examine the new injured, which won him the favor of everyone.
While he was checking and treating, the other three took the opportunity to assess Wu Heng's fighting ability.
It's a level they can't see.
The three of them couldn't help but feel happy.
