“You!”
After only letting out the word ‘you’, the sharp blade had slashed his throat. A moment later, blood splashed out like plum blossoms dyeing the ground red.
As Guan Xilin withdrew his broadsword, the Celestial mercenary also tumbled down.
Ye Jing came to him quickly. “How are you?” She noticed that he had some small bleeding wounds.
Guan Xilin glanced back at her. The lips beneath the beard widened into a smile. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
After giving a look at the corpses on the ground, he told Ye Jing, “Wait.” He went over and collected all the cosmos sacks and valuable things on the mercenaries.
While examining the content of one cosmos sack, he found Ye Jing’s belongings and handed her the cosmos sack. “This is yours. Keep it.”
“Mm.” Ye Jing answered and took the sack.
“Let’s go!”
He was ready to leave with Ye Jing, however, just as they turned around, an old man stepped out. “Brother, please stay.”
Guan Xilin stopped and looked at the man. He looked at him calmly and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“He he, may I know your name? I wonder if you’re a loose cultivator, if you are, may I invite you to my Lin family as a guest?” The old man asked with a smile.
Guan Xilin whispered, “Sorry, I’m not a loose cultivator.” As soon as he answered the old man, he took Ye Jing’s hand and walked away.
When the people around them saw the two walking away, their hearts were stirred.
Although they were envious that the man took away the Nine-headed Wolf Mercenary Group’s property, no one dared to stop them from leaving, let alone rob them.
It was because they knew that the bearded man’s cultivation was very powerful. The Nine-headed Wolf Mercenary Group was not his opponent, let alone them.
The city’s guards watched in the crowd. They saw them leaving, but they didn’t dare to ask them to stop. They could only come forward and clean up the bodies.
After they left, a cultivator suddenly exclaimed. “Ah! I remember! This man is Guan Xilin, the elder brother of Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu of Hundred Rivers City’s Heavenly Pill Tower. I saw him there once – driving back some people who made trouble in Heavenly Pill Tower.”
The cultivator said excitedly, “That long sword is Guan Xilin’s weapon. I never thought such a man could appear in this town. If he didn’t call himself Grandpa Guan just now, I wouldn’t remember who he is.”
The crowd burst into an uproar. They were somewhat incredulous. Who was Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu?
That’s the most talked-about person today. If that man just now was her elder brother, then everyone could understand why his battle strength was so powerful.
While the people here were discussing, Guan Xilin took Ye Jing to an inn and asked the waiter to open two rooms. After entering the room, he said to Ye Qing, “Sit down and I’ll help you unlock your sealed spirit energy.” Ye Qing nodded. She sat at the table with her back turned.
Guan Xilin moved the mystical energy breath in his hand and untied her sealed spirit energy breath. Not long after her acupoints were untied, sweat oozed from Ye Jing’s forehead and her face looked fatigued, so he told her. “Get some rest. I’ll ask the waiter to prepare hot bath water for you.”
Ye Jing wanted to say something, but he already turned around and left with large strides.. After a while, the waiter brought hot water and then left.
