A ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, and it was particularly dazzling in the morning light after the rain.

There was a light fragrance in the building, like lotus root and ambergris, and several officials stretched their necks to take a look.

Not long after, Ning Xiusu was seen hurriedly walking towards Hua Jianbai's room with a golden medicinal pill in his hand.

When Chen Jiu heard that the territory lord was seriously injured, he returned to the inn without knowing when. There was a strange bottle on his waist, a jar of fine girl's red wine in his hand, and peanuts in his mouth.

When he passed by the lotus pond, he saw what Ning Xiusu was holding and immediately stopped him: "Boy, what are you holding?"

Ning Xiusu paused slightly at his question, but before he could speak, Chen Jiu tried to snatch the object from his hand. Perhaps subconsciously, Ning Xiusu lowered his wrist, intending to avoid his move.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jiu made a feint and snatched the medicine pill from his hand.

"Hey, you used the Dark Lotus Spirit Fire to refine the Holy Lotus Heart. This thing is comparable to the divine pill of the Shangqing Sect!"

Chen Jiu put it to his nose and sniffed it, looking surprised.

Ning Xiusu sighed when he saw that this man was really weird.

"Senior Chen, the situation is urgent now. I have to defeat Hanami."

Chen Jiu narrowed his one eye and said, "I heard from Miemie that the boy went to pick the Holy Lotus Heart and gave it to you, asking you to eat it. Don't you want to eat it?"

Ning Xiusu didn't have much time to chat with him. He just took the medicine pill and said, "He needs this more."

"There's no rush to take the medicine, but your condition is quite serious now."

Chen Jiu suddenly struck out with a palm. Ning Xiusu didn't know what this man was doing. He was slightly startled and raised his left arm to block.

The old man seemed to be doing it on purpose. Suddenly, a black light flashed at his fingertips and pressed several major acupoints on him. Ning Xiusu felt that the burning sensation all over his body seemed to dissipate a lot in an instant, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Chen Jiu is a spirit, and his skills belong to the cold and yin energy, so it stimulated the Youlian Spirit Fire. However, the magical thing is too fierce. People without spiritual veins will not be able to withstand it for too long. This time, they just helped to suppress it a little.

When Ning Xiusu realized what was happening, he bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Senior Chen."

"Well, you're quite perceptive. No wonder that guy keeps talking about you all day long."

Ning Xiusu didn't say anything more. Seeing this man in a hurry, Chen Jiu went to the east wing without looking back.

The candlelight in the room was still burning and the light was very dim. Hua Jianbai was lying on a wooden couch, his face looked a little dead and his breathing was very weak.

Ning Xiusu was inexplicably nervous. He gently helped Hua Jianbai up and put the golden pill into his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth but failed to go down his throat.

Ning Xiusu frowned slightly when he saw this. Why didn't Hua Jianbai swallow it...

"Uncle with the big beard——"

Miemie suddenly came running over. Chen Jiu leaned over the door and saw a girl in green clothes. He immediately smiled.

No one knew what Chen Jiu whispered in Miemie's ear, but she walked over with her cheeks puffed out, and Ning Xiusu was stunned for no reason.

"What are you doing?"

"The old men in this pharmacy all say that if you don't swallow, you can only blow air through your mouth."

Miemie's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still puffed out her cheeks, looking like she was trying to help.

"..."

Ning Xiusu was choked for a moment. He didn't know where this little girl learned her medical skills. They seemed a little unreliable.

Although he was not a miracle doctor, he knew what to do after spreading out the silver needle. He picked up the silver needle and gently inserted it into the Lianquan acupoint above the larynx.

The elixir slowly slid down his throat, and Hua Jianbai's throat moved.

He then breathed a sigh of relief, gently wiped the corner of his mouth, and put him back on the pillow.

About an incense stick of time had passed, and Hua Jianbai was still sleeping with his eyes closed.

But why haven't you woken up yet...

Ning Xiusu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mie Mie, have you found Pu Boyu?"

Miemie shook her head and said, "The elder brothers from the Privy Council went to look for him, but he hasn't come back yet."

……

There was a sound of quiet desolation as the wind blew through the bamboo forest. The incense burner in the house had burned out, revealing a sense of coldness and silence. The bamboo curtains blocked out the light from the sky, making the house seem dim and lifeless.

Ning Xiusu extinguished the candle and opened the bamboo curtain a little, allowing a few rays of sunlight to filter into the room.

Seeing that he kept going back and forth, Chen Jiu seemed to be panicking and was deliberately looking for things to do.

"Hey hey hey, how come you are the same as that kid? Can you please stop hanging around in front of me?"

Ning Xiusu didn't realize that he was very flustered. He paused and sat down in a few places.

Miemie blinked her bright eyes, "Why do you care so much about our Territory Master?"

This unexpected remark startled everyone. Ning Xiusu lowered his eyes and looked at her: "What?"

"I'm just curious. When I first came to this world, there was a storyteller who told many stories about the Jianghu and the sects in a teahouse..."

Ever since Miemie entered the room, she seemed to have been unable to find anyone to chat with, so she started telling stories to herself.

"A sect's proud son, yet he always acted recklessly, ultimately causing the death of his own master and becoming a forsaken disciple hated by everyone."

"Not only did he defect to the temple, he also practiced evil magic. In the end, he turned against them, causing the temple to be destroyed in a great battle."

Miemie said this and tilted her head slightly:

"That person, is it you?"

Ning Xiusu listened to her question, his expression cold and expressionless, "The young lady seems to know a lot about some of the past."

Miemie looked straight into his indifferent gaze and didn't feel any fear at all.

"Now the temple has appeared again. It must be very dangerous for our territory master to stay with you."

Ning Xiusu asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I heard the storyteller talk about your deeds, and I thought that people like you who use unscrupulous means are not good people."

He said "Oh" lightly, "So?"

Miemie held up her chin. "I just don't understand. You've been saving people all the time. Are you a good person or a bad person?"

Ning Xiusu pursed his lips lightly, giving a faint smile: "In a chaotic situation, there's no definition of good or bad."

"Not bad," Chen Jiu stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "There's no good or bad in the world. You talk interestingly, kid."

"Right, I have another question. Where did the Dark Lotus Spiritual Fire on you come from?"

Miemie had doubts in her heart. Her beautiful eyes were like black pearls in the water. She glanced at him slightly and blinked her eyelashes gently.

Ning Xiusu said: "I'm not sure, it might be the bottom of the sea..."

Before he could finish his words, Hua Jianbai coughed lightly a few times and actually opened his eyes slightly.

Ning Xiusu was overjoyed, although he didn't show it too strongly.

"Big...big villain, uh..."

He covered his head and sat up gently, then raised his eyes to look at Ning Xiusu, with stars hidden in his light mountain spring eyes.

Ning Xiusu asked, "How do you feel?"

Hanamibai was full of energy and smiled: "It seemed to be warm all the time, but how long have I been sleeping?"

Ning Xiusu was completely relieved at this time, and looked back straight. A ray of sunlight after the rain happened to shine through the window lattice, casting a layer of luster on his body.

He smiled lightly: "It's not too early, not too late, it's just dawn."
