Chapter 279 Jian Mo is injured
The weather in Anyang City had been poor recently, with a fine, silky drizzle falling continuously, as if the sky and earth were shrouded in a thin veil. The dense rain weighed heavily, making people feel a sense of oppression for no reason.
It's not busy these days. Several fellow disciples are leading patrols around the city gate every day. Jian Mo is looking after the alchemy room, so Nan Xiao doesn't need to go there all the time. Now that he has some free time, he is curled up in a recliner reading a book.
"I haven't seen you go out for a while. Let me see what you've been busy with."
The book in Nan Xiao's hand was taken away. She tilted her head slightly to see who was coming. "Fourth Senior Brother, are you back from your work?"
"Yeah." Su Xun flipped through the book in her hand, which talked about the characteristics and classification of spiritual plants, and suddenly lost interest.
"Are there any spiritual plants you don't know about?"
Su Xun returned the book to her.
"Look at what you're saying. The world is so big, there are so many spiritual plants I don't know about." Nan Xiao lazily rocked on the recliner and asked, "Fourth Senior Brother, do you have something to talk to me about?"
There's no such thing as a visit without a reason. You can't be here to chat with her.
I feel lazy and sleepy on rainy days and don’t want to move.
Su Xun knocked her head and said, "You have no conscience. I just came to see you because I saw that you have been in low spirits these days."
"This is the water-repellent bead I got yesterday. Take it and play with it."
"Punch a hole in the center of the bead and make it into an accessory of your choice. It will look great on your neck, wrist, or waist. You can even breathe freely underwater with it. I think you'll like it."
Su Xun put a round, turquoise bead into her hand.
"There was originally a pink one, but Zhuo Hua bought it first. This blue one is also good. I'll give you a pink one next time we have a chance."
Nan Xiao took the water-repellent beads in his palm and played with them for a while, then said with a smile, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
As the two were talking, a young disciple came running in hurriedly in the drizzle.
"Fourth Senior Brother, Junior Sister is in trouble! The alchemy room was suddenly attacked by men in black. Senior Sister Jian and Miss Wen are both injured!"
Nan Xiao's lazy look instantly perked up. She stood up and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, let's go over and take a look."
Senior Sister Jian is a weak and incompetent alchemist who is kind to others and is also a direct disciple of Huanhai Sect. Who would dare to hurt her?
The two of them hurriedly ran towards the alchemy room.
The chaos in the alchemy room had been brought under control. Spiritual plants lay scattered across the hallway. Inside, the alchemy furnace had overturned, pills and broken bottles mingled in the medicinal liquid, and the walls were covered in traces of fighting.
Nan Xiao grabbed a young disciple and asked, "Where is Senior Sister Jian?"
"Next door."
Jian Mo had been struck in the abdomen by a sword and now lay weakly on the bed, her face as pale as paper. The young disciples were surrounding her, frantically tending to her wounds.
Wen Anruo's arm was also hit by a sword, it was just a superficial wound, nothing serious. He was anxiously watching Jian Mo's condition.
Nan Xiao walked quickly to Jian Mo's side, and the young disciple consciously gave up his seat.
"Senior Sister Nan, Senior Brother Zhang fed Senior Sister Jian a pill. We've bandaged her external injuries. Could you please take a look and see if there's anything wrong?"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Nan Xiao checked Jian Mo's physical condition. Her external injuries were treated well. Since she had taken life-saving pills in advance, her internal breath was relatively calm.
Nan Xiao felt relieved and asked, "What's going on? Where did Senior Brother Zhuo go?"
With Zhuo Hua around, it’s not so easy to hurt Senior Sister Jian.
The young disciple replied, "Today, Senior Sister Jian said she had run out of a spiritual herb and asked Senior Brother Zhuo to buy some. Later, Miss Wen arrived. Senior Sister Jian and Miss Wen had a conversation, and then a group of men in black suddenly appeared from nowhere. By the time we arrived, Senior Sister Jian was already injured, and Senior Brother Zhang had taken his men to chase them."
Wen Anruo, who was standing by, had a complicated expression and a look of apology: "I have caused her trouble."
Nan Xiao looked at her, various thoughts flashing through his mind, and finally his gaze fell on her wound: "Let's bandage the wound on your arm first."
A young disciple brought medicine and bandages to help Wen Anruo treat the wound.
When Zhuo Hua heard that Jian Mo was injured, he rushed back anxiously.
"Senior sister, what happened to my senior sister?"
He looked at the weak girl lying on the bed, his heart tightened instantly. He walked slowly to the bedside, his eyes red: "Senior sister, senior sister, wake up, don't scare me, I'll be gone for a while... Senior sister..."
Nan Xiao tugged at Zhuo Hua and said, "Senior Sister Jian's wounds have been treated. It's nothing serious. The most important thing now is to rest."
Hearing this, Zhuo Hua used his spiritual power to examine Jian Mo's body. After confirming that she was not in danger of death, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. He forced back the bitterness in his eyes and wiped them, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's too early to cry."
"It's so embarrassing with so many people watching."
Nan Xiao: “…………”
Damn, I was almost moved by the camaraderie between them.
Su Xun patted his shoulder and said, "You're worried and confused. I understand. It's no big deal."
It was rare that Zhuo Hua didn't argue with him.
"Junior Sister Nan, let's go talk outside and let my senior sister have a good rest." Zhuo Hua only left two young disciples to look after Jian Mo, and asked the others to go to the room next door.
"Junior Sister Nan, tell me the details. If anyone dares to touch my senior sister while I'm away, I'll kill him if I find out who it is."
His senior sister had never suffered such a serious injury. If his master and eldest senior brother knew about it, he would have no reason to live. He would just dig a hole and bury himself.
The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn.
"I don't know. I just arrived a little earlier than Senior Brother Zhuo." Nan Xiao looked at Wen Anruo, who was silent beside him, and said word by word, "I'm very confused by what Miss Wen said just now. Why don't you let Miss Wen speak?"
Facing all the looks around him, Wen Anruo felt uncomfortable.
Her face was filled with guilt, and her tone was heavy: "I'm truly sorry. Those men in black came after me, and Miss Jian took a knife to save me. I've caused trouble for her. I will cover all the expenses and spiritual plants for Miss Jian's recovery."
Zhuo Hua sneered, "We in the Huanhai Sect don't have any elixirs or spiritual plants that can cure illnesses and save lives. Miss Wen, please stop talking nonsense."
Wen Anruo hesitated.
Nan Xiao suddenly asked, "Is it the demon clan?"
Wen Anruo was a little surprised.
Nan Xiao said embarrassedly: "Don't look at me, I'm just guessing."
"I heard Elder Li mention before that a group of demons had infiltrated Anyang City. But I can't understand why the demons are so interested in Miss Wen."
Su Xun spoke appropriately: "It's true. I met Miss Wen and the others outside the city before. It seems that the demons' target was Miss Wen and the others as well."
The hint became explicit, and everyone was waiting for Wen Anruo to explain.
Wen Anruo sneered: "I don't know."
"An Ruo is very sorry about what happened to Miss Jian. Regardless of whether Senior Brother Zhuo needs it or not, An Ruo will show his sincerity and do his best to compensate Miss Jian."
"Goodbye."
After hearing that An Ruo had left, Zhuo Hua wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Su Xun.
"She doesn't want to say it. Even if you force her to say it, are you sure she's telling the truth?"
Zhuo Hua was a little angry: "Just let it go like that? I can't let my senior sister suffer in vain."
"Don't worry, she'll tell you."
