Chapter 5338 No Problem
He paused for a moment, looking at Hu Mazi. “The Hu clan’s spirits haven’t been found in the branch hall. According to You Wuxie and the others, they’ve been sent to the main hall of the Evil Path Hall.”
Mo Chen’s eyes lit up with understanding, and he looked at Hu Mazi with a hint of regret. “Mr. Hu, this matter… I’m sorry I’ve wronged you.”
Hu Mazi waved his hand, suppressing his disappointment. “It’s no loss. At least we know the spirits of our clan members might still be there. As long as the main hall still stands, I’ll find them someday!”
“Great expression, ‘as long as the main hall still stands,’”
Mo Chen’s eyes flashed with admiration. “The Sword Sect may be small, but if you need it, everyone in the Sword Sect is ready to support you.”
As he spoke, the surrounding Sword Sect disciples gathered around him, their gazes filled with admiration.
David recently taught Ling Xue at the Sword Trial Cliff, and later, he joined forces with Hu Mazi to destroy the Evil Path Hall’s branch hall. He has long become a legend among the Sword Sect disciples.
“Brother Chen, you are great!”
someone shouted, and the other students cheered, their voices echoing through the city gates.
David smiled and nodded, his eyes scanning the crowd, quickly spotting a familiar figure. Ling Xue stood at the back, dressed in white, holding a plain package.
Her eyes lit up at the sight, but a hint of nervousness lingered. She instinctively took a step forward, then stopped.
David’s heart was moved, and he moved closer to Ling Xue.
“Brother Chen…”
Ling Xue approached, her voice filled with joy, her gaze fixed on the bloodstains on Ling Xue’s body, her brows furrowed. “Are you hurt?”
“Just a minor injury, nothing serious.” David raised his hand, gently stroking Ling Xue’s furrowed forehead with his fingertips. “Sorry for worrying you.”
Ling Xue’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly shook her head. “I’m not worried… I just… I just believe you’ll come back safely.”
He handed her the package. “These are the magic potions and medicines I’ve prepared for you over the past few days. Use them when you get back.”
The bundle felt warm to the touch, obviously from being held close to his chest.
David accepted it, his fingertips touching the back of Ling Xue’s hand, feeling the gentle warmth, and a surge of warmth flowed through his heart. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Hu Mazi watched their interaction, grinned, and patted Mo Chen on the shoulder. “Brother Mo Chen, let’s go back and rest for a while. I’ll talk to you later about the situation at the branch hall.”
Mo Chen nodded. “Alright, you’ve traveled a long way, so get some rest.”
The group headed towards the Sword Sect headquarters. Sunlight shone on the bluestone pavement of the Sacred Sword City, casting long shadows. The air was filled with a faint spiritual energy and the scent of plants and trees, a stark contrast to the bloody and sinister atmosphere of the Black Wind Mountains, giving one the feeling of being in another world.
Back at the Sword Sect headquarters, David went to his room first. Ling Xue followed him and insisted on tending to his wounds.
“Brother, please sit down. I will get a basin of spiritual water.”
Ling Xue said, turning to leave.
David grabbed her wrist and whispered, “Don’t bother. I can use my spiritual powers to handle it myself.”
“How is that possible!”
Ling Xue broke free from his hand, her tone somewhat stubborn. “Spiritual power can only stabilize the wound. It still needs to be properly cleaned. Wait, I’ll be back soon.”
Watching her hasty departure, David smiled helplessly, his heart filled with warmth.
These days, Ling Xue was no longer a little girl at the fourth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Her swordsmanship had become more refined, and her cultivation had steadily improved. But in front of him, she still held that purest concern.
Shortly after, Ling Xue returned with a basin of hot spiritual water that had been soaked in some fragrant immortal herbs.
He placed the basin on the table, took out a clean cloth and some wound dressing from the package, and then approached David: “Brother, please take off your outer robe. I will help you apply the dressing.”
