Ling Cage: Twelve Talismans? I have everything I need.

Chapter 65, Dawn, something felt off to me.
The morning sun shone warmly on the training field.

Ulan Aodeng stood with his arms crossed in the center of the field, his gaze sweeping over the trainees who were practicing.

Red Envoy and Dawn occupied a corner. The two moved swiftly, their offense and defense switching with tacit understanding, yet showing no mercy.

Hong Kou's fierce side kick was blocked by Po Xiao, who then lowered his shoulder and stepped forward, delivering a swift straight punch straight to Hong Kou's center.

Hong Kou reacted extremely quickly, twisting her waist to dodge, and was just about to turn around and counterattack.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a familiar yet inexplicably attractive figure strolling along the path at the edge of the training field.

It is a white moonlit sky.

He changed into a more fitting outfit and tossed the keys to his new house in one hand.

That face, especially the profile and the indescribable aura between his brows and eyes, once again crashed into Hong Kou's mind.

"It's him……"

Even though she didn't want to think about it anymore, the vague memory still made her pause, and her movements inevitably became a little hesitant and stiff.

When masters clash, the situation is bound to change in an instant.

This momentary lapse in concentration is a fatal flaw for someone as focused as Xiao Chu!

"Watch out!" Dawn cried out, but his fist was already in place and he couldn't fully retract it.

boom!
A dull crashing sound sounded.

The straight punch that was supposed to be dodged or blocked by Dawn landed squarely on the outside of Red's forearm as he hastily raised his arm to block.

The immense force threw her off balance, causing her to stumble and fall heavily to her side on the hard training ground with a short groan of pain.

"Uh!"

Hong Kou felt a piercing pain in her ankle, which instantly turned her face pale and caused her to break out in a cold sweat.

"Red Bandits!"

Po Xiao's face instantly turned panicked, her heart filled with regret and heartache.

He rushed over anxiously, trying to carefully check her ankle, his voice trembling slightly.

"I'm so sorry! I... I lost control! Where are you hurt? Did you twist your ankle?"

Ulan Aodeng and several other trainees preparing for their sparring were also startled by the commotion and stopped what they were doing to look over.

Hong Kou gritted her teeth and tried to sit up despite the excruciating pain.

"No...it's nothing, I probably...twisted it."

She subconsciously glanced again in the direction where Bai Yuetian had just appeared.

Bai Yuetian had obviously noticed the commotion earlier, so he walked over and looked at Hong Kou with a smile.

"Even though I'm handsome, is it necessary to keep staring at me?"

"Bai Yuetian?" Ulan Aodeng looked at the man in front of him with a slightly puzzled expression.

Bai Yuetian turned around and said, "It is indeed your grandfather!"

"You finally decided to come out of that ball?" Wulan Aodeng looked Bai Yuetian up and down.

He had seen Bai Yuetian's photo before, and the man before him looked exactly the same.

"Hey~ Can't you talk properly, kid?"

Just as Bai Yuetian and Wulan Aodeng were bickering, Hong Kou wanted to stand up and ask if she had actually seen him.

However, the sprained ankle was quite severe, and it was not easy for him to get up on his own.

"Don't move yet!"

Po Xiao felt extremely distressed. He pulled up Hong Kou's trouser leg and frowned as he looked at her ankle, which was rapidly swelling and turning red.

"Let me take you to find Elder Xia."

Just then, a slender figure came running over like a gust of wind; it was Jiu Ge.

"let me see!"

The wine song carried a hint of barely perceptible urgency, and the expression on his face revealed a trace of anticipation.
She squatted down on the other side of Hong Kou, her gaze quickly sweeping over the swollen ankle. Then she looked up at Hong Kou's furrowed brows and slightly pale face, which were contorted with pain.

Under the slightly surprised gazes of Hong Kou and Po Xiao, Jiu Ge did not hesitate at all and leaned forward slightly.

He gently cupped Hong Kou's cheeks in his hands, turned her face to face him, and then quickly and softly pressed his lips to Hong Kou's smooth forehead.

The whole sequence of actions was too fast, too direct, and carried an intimacy that went beyond ordinary concern.

Hong Kou was completely stunned, her body instantly stiffening.

A soft and warm touch came from my forehead, and I could smell a faint fragrance.

Dawn was also stunned, looking at Jiuge's unusual treatment method with a complicated expression.

Time seems to have frozen.

Jiuge's lips touched for about two or three seconds before reluctantly and slowly moving away.

She let go, a barely perceptible blush rising on her face, but her eyes sparkled.

"All right!"

The voice of the wine song carried a hint of excitement: "My potential is accelerated through contact with the forehead."

"Sister Hongkou, how are you feeling now?"

As she finished speaking, Hong Kou clearly felt a warm current with a slight tingling sensation.

The excruciating pain in my ankle seemed to recede rapidly, and the swelling also dissipated quickly.

In just a few breaths, only a slight discomfort remained in my ankle.

Hong Kou subconsciously moved her ankle, and the pain from before disappeared without a trace.

She looked up at Jiu Ge, her eyes filled with shock: "It's...much better! It doesn't hurt anymore, Jiu Ge, thank you, your ability is amazing."

"It's good that you're alright." Jiu Ge smiled happily, her eyes curving into crescents.

Dawn breathed a sigh of relief and quickly helped Hong Kou up: "Are you really alright? Can you stand up?"

With Dawn's help, Hong Kou stood up steadily, stomped her feet lightly, and confirmed, "Yes, I'm really alright now."

She thanked Jiuge again: "Thank you, Jiuge."

"You're welcome, Sister Hongkou!" Jiuge's smile remained bright.

But as Hong Kou looked at her, a strange feeling inexplicably rose in her heart.

It feels... a little subtle, and strange.

Is this little girl named Jiuge a little too enthusiastic, too special to me?

The overly bright light in Jiu Ge's eyes and his undisguised joy made Hong Kou feel that this seemed, perhaps, possibly, not to be concern for his companion.

More like.
Hong Kou glanced silently at Dawn beside her.

This absurd idea was immediately rejected by Hong Kou.

No, no, no, how could that be? I'm overthinking it.

It must be because he used to be at the lighthouse, so he felt a little lost in the face of the villagers' concern.

Hong Kou couldn't help but look at Jiu Ge once again.

And Jiu Ge hadn't looked away since the beginning.

Looking at Jiuge's eyes, Hongkou couldn't help but recall the way Poxiao had looked at her.

hiss.
Are people who live on the ground a little too emotional?

Ulan Aodeng stepped forward and, seeing that Hong Kou was alright, said in a deep voice, "Since she's alright, Po Xiao, you accompany Hong Kou to the side to rest and observe her. The rest of you, continue training!"

Upon hearing Wulan Aodeng's voice, Hong Kou looked towards the distance.

Bai Yuetian, the one who caused all of this, had already tossed the key aside and walked away.
