Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1148 Huang Zhilan

"Right here!" The guard pointed to a tightly closed iron gate with a small 20x15 window in it.

"Um, I don't... I don't have a key," the guard said nervously.

"It's alright." Shi Jia waved his hand and immediately summoned the sapling. The sapling was very small and easily passed through the window. Shi Jia's gaze followed the sapling into the small room.

A person covered in long hair and with red eyes lay on the ground, looking pained. Shi Jia could sense that his spiritual consciousness was struggling to suppress the turbid energy in his body.

Shi Jia sighed as the sapling took root between the man's eyebrows.

Huang Zhilan, who was almost unconscious, suddenly felt a cool sensation on her body. As the coolness spread throughout her body, the needle-like burning sensation slowly subsided.

She quickly regained consciousness and was surprised to find a plant seedling growing on her head. "What is this?" How did grass grow on her head?
"Huh? It's actually a girl?" Shi Jia was a little surprised, after all, she had never seen a female warrior since coming to this world.

"Who are you?" Huang Zhilan looked toward the small window following the voice.

"I am a Spirit Cleanser," Shi Jia said with a smile, inexplicably developing a liking for this female captain.

"A Spirit Cleanser? That old fellow from Ziyun Peak actually asked a Spirit Cleanser to treat me?" Huang Zhilan felt as astonished as seeing the sun rise in the west.

"Who is Ziyun Peak?" Shi Jia knew she had misunderstood. "I wasn't invited by Ziyun Peak."

"Not Ziyun Peak?" Huang Zhilan was even more surprised. Although Ziyun Peak was very annoying, apart from him, the guard chief, no one at Gate 1 should have the ability to invite a Spirit Cleanser.

"Who is that?" Huang Zhilan asked impatiently.

"Um, I don't know either. Let me ask you. What's your name?"

"Ah, my name is Sun Wu," the young soldier said shyly.

“His name is Sun Wu,” Shi Jia said. “He’s the soldier in charge of checking people entering the city. He said you saved the beast tide.”

"Sun Tzu?" Huang Zhilan seemed not to recognize him. "Thank you!"

"No, you're welcome. If it weren't for Captain Huang, we would have died in the beast tide a week ago." Sun Wu scratched his head.

Shi Jia nodded, agreeing that he was a grateful person.

Huang Zhilan heard it too, and she felt very relieved, a comfortable feeling of being remembered for doing a good deed.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang!", the connecting passage door was pushed open. A group of fully armed guards stormed in. "Who are you! Why are you trespassing on military grounds!"

"Sun Wu! Did you bring them in?" the leading man said unhappily.

"Captain Hong, this is a spirit purifier, here to purify Captain Huang!" Sun Wu quickly explained. Because Shi Jia and the others were in a hurry to leave, he brought people in without reporting it. He planned to report it later, and by then Captain Huang would have recovered, so even if he was punished, it shouldn't be too severe.

But to our surprise, the Red Captain arrived with his men halfway through the process.

"A Spirit Cleanser?" Captain Red was startled. If it really was a Spirit Cleanser, he couldn't afford to offend him.

“Yes, this is him,” Sun Wu quickly replied.

"What about the rest?"

"They are the Cleansing Spirit Master's teammates, top students from the Emerald Academy."

Green jade? Captain Hong's heart skipped a beat; these were people he couldn't afford to offend.

But how did Sun Tzu come to know the person who owned the green jade?
"Ahem, even if you are a Cleansing Spirit Master, that's no excuse for you to leave your post without permission. Now come with me to the Guard Captain to apologize!" Captain Red said. "And this Cleansing Spirit Master, please come with us as well."

"Wait!" Shi Jia sensed that the turbid energy in Huang Zhilan's body had completely disappeared, and immediately summoned the sapling back.

Everyone saw a green shadow fly out of the small window and were immediately alarmed. "Everyone be careful, the corrupted person has come out!"

Shi Jia was taken aback, finding it somewhat amusing. Were these people making a big fuss over nothing? "You don't need to be nervous, that's my spiritual technique."

Spiritual arts?

"Bang!" Suddenly, a loud sound came from the tightly closed room, and then they watched in astonishment as the door opened by itself. It opened? How could this be?
Captain Hong's expression changed drastically. The next second, he saw the person he least wanted to see in his life: Huang Zhilan.

"Everyone, it's been a long time!" Huang Zhilan was covered in dirt, but that couldn't hide her powerful aura.

"Huang Zhilan, how did you get out here! Go back now, or I'll report to the guard captain and have you banished to the Black Zone!" The Red Captain's face turned red.

"Tsk, Honglang, you haven't forgotten, this door is a lock of turbid energy, have you? I was able to get out because the turbid energy on my body has been cleared away," Huang Zhilan said with a smile.

"Cleared?" Captain Red asked in disbelief.

Huang Zhilan ignored him and looked at Shi Jia and the others. "You must be the Spirit Cleanser. Thank you!" She bowed to Shi Jia. "I am Huang Zhilan. Thank you for saving me. This is my gift of gratitude."

She took a box out of her mustard seed bag. "This is Bone Tempering Grass. It can be used to improve physical fitness, and it's said to also raise the talent ceiling of painters. Please accept it."

"Bone-tempering grass?" Cheng Zi and the others exclaimed in surprise.

"You know?" Although Shi Jia had read a lot of books this semester, most of them were related to her major, so she didn't know the effects of this Quenching Grass.

“Yes, just like Captain Zilan said, it can increase the upper limit of an artist’s talent, but it is usually used before awakening,” Chengzi said. “As for whether it works after awakening, we don’t know, since no one has tested it.”

Huang Zhilan was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I don't have anything valuable on me." This precious spiritual herb was something she had prepared for her younger sister.

Shi Jia didn't care much, but suddenly heard Lu Tianxue say, "Junior, can I have this Bone Tempering Grass? I'll exchange it for something of equal value."

"The captain needs it?" Shi Jia asked in surprise.

“Yes, my younger siblings will awaken next year,” Lu Tianxue said.

Others were also tempted upon hearing this, but Tianxue had already said that they needed to maintain a certain image in front of outsiders.

“Okay, I don’t need them anyway.” Shi Jia nodded. “If possible, Captain, could you get me a few boxes of paints? 24 colors would be best. Of course, 48 colors would be even better.”

"it is good."

The group chatted as if no one else was around, which made Honglang feel very aggrieved, but he couldn't afford to offend them, so he could only stand there awkwardly.

Suddenly, another series of footsteps approached, and everyone looked over to see that the person in the lead was dressed in a purple robe.

"Guard Captain!" Huang Zhilan bowed to him.

"Which one of you is the Spirit Cleanser?" Zi Yunfeng glanced at her and then looked at Shi Jia and the others.

Shi Jia and the others exchanged glances. Just as Lu Tianxue was about to step forward, Shi Jia shook her head and stepped forward, saying, "It is I."

"You're the Spirit Cleanser? Great! Come with me." Zi Yunfeng didn't even glance at the others, his tone quite matter-of-fact.

Lu Tianxue frowned. "What brings you here, Commander of the Guards?"

"And who are you? I'm seeking a Cleansing Master because someone has been infected by impure energy!" Zi Yunfeng frowned. "Cleansing Master, this way please!"

Shi Jia and his teammates exchanged glances. "Okay, let's go check on the patient first."

“I’ll go with you!” Huang Zhilan said.

Zi Yunfeng was displeased upon hearing this, "What are you doing following me? Now that you've recovered, why aren't you on patrol!"

"Guard captain, I remember that the patrols at Gate 1 are on a rotating basis. If I remember correctly, I haven't been assigned to patrol recently," Huang Zhilan said bluntly.

Zi Yunfeng was about to rebuke him further when Shi Jia interrupted him, "Guard Chief, the patient is the priority."

"Hmph! Hurry up and follow me!"

The guards who remained breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew~ the guard captain didn't get angry?"

"I heard that people from the upper district have arrived."

"who is it?"
