"What nonsense are you spouting!" Xuan Yi suddenly shouted, unable to control his voice. He exerted almost all his strength in his hand, and Qingyi seemed to hear the sound of her shoulder blade cracking.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

The woman in green trembled slightly as her eyelashes drooped. She glanced at the person standing to the side, loosened her tightly clenched teeth, and raised half of her face, pale as if she hadn't been the one who had deliberately provoked her.

"Fellow Daoist, you're hurting me."

Then Xuan Yi saw the hand on his shoulder. The slender hand gripped his wrist bone and pulled it outward, easily tossing the hand aside.

This time, they simply ripped his arm off. Xuan Yi endured the pain, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "What are you doing?"

Lu Jin'an tilted her head slightly, looking somewhat innocent. "Sir is in poor health and may not be able to accept your invitation. Look how pale you are. If outsiders see this, they might spread rumors that the Xuantian Sect is taking over the Nine Gates and bullying rogue cultivators."

Qingyi suppressed a laugh, covered her mouth, and couldn't help coughing a few more times.

His face turned even paler, his whole body trembled like a broken willow branch, and he gasped for breath.

"Oh dear, oh dear, the gentleman is about to pass out! Please make way!"

The group of disciples in yellow robes were so frightened by Lu Jin'an's loud shout that they dared not surround him and immediately retreated a great distance. But in the blink of an eye, when they looked at the place where the voice came from, there was no one there.

Xuan Yi, with a gloomy face, immediately issued a capture order.

If the Xuantian Sect and the others still don't realize that they've all been abandoned, then their sect is truly hopeless.

Xuan Yi clutched his drooping arm, his brow twitching.

"My lord, I think those people are all very suspicious, especially that Taoist priest." When he turned around, he found that the man and the horse had vanished without a trace.

Where did that ancestor run off to again?!

Xuan Yi rubbed his forehead, trying to calm himself down. Chi Qi, who was standing next to him, sensed that his senior brother was about to explode, so he silently took the hand of his fourth sister behind him. Then Chi Qi pulled Ning Si, Ning Si grabbed Min Jiu, and Ning Wu, seeing that his senior sister, junior brother, and junior sister had all left, hurriedly followed.

Once Xuan Yi caught his breath, all that remained were those old folks with reading glasses, ready to boss him around.

"That person has disappeared! How are we going to explain this to the sect leader?!"

"Xuanyi, forget about those people of unknown origin for now, finding our master is the most important thing!"

"Rest assured, elders. With that man's abilities, there are few in the world who can harm him."

……

When Lu Jin'an and his group landed outside the courtyard, Chi Yu watched as he slowly walked to the hawthorn tree by the wall, picked up a fallen sour fruit, and wiped the dust off his clothes.

Immediately afterwards, the faces of a man and a leopard appeared on the wall.

The scene was particularly bizarre and comical, because the little leopard head was perched on the man's head, and the man's hair looked much thinner than before.

"My dear friend, you're finally back!"

In his excitement, his foot slipped, and two mournful screams echoed through the air.

Hearing the commotion, the person inside shook their head and sighed, put down their knitting, and went outside. "Little Ji, you've been pulling your father's hair again, haven't you!"

As soon as Lady Leopard stepped out the door, the first thing she saw was her husband's limping, goofy grin. People in the mortal world say that a wife becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy, but she didn't think so.

She smiled helplessly. Hearing the noise at the door, she looked over and saw Xiao Ji throwing Lu Jin'an into her arms.

"No wonder it's so lively outside, it turns out that young friend Lu has come to visit."

"Before even congratulating Madam on her safe delivery, this little brat has already caused quite a commotion?"

Lady Leopard looked at the little beast wriggling in Lu Jin'an's arms and went over to take him in. "That's right, it really gave me a hard time back then. Not only was he big, but he was also very active. It made me so angry and hurt that I wanted to pull him out of my belly and beat him." She kept complaining, but her eyes were shining with a sweet smile.

Looking at her expression, Lu Jin'an lowered her head and smiled, momentarily forgetting to pull the hair that the little cub was pulling back. Chi Yu curled her fingertips and tapped the little leopard on the forehead.

The little leopard cried out in pain, covering its head with its paws and howling, while Lu Jin'an's hair was spared.

Lu Jin'an looked at Chi Yu, who was standing to the side, and saw him pressing his index finger against the little leopard's head. The two were inexplicably competing. He suppressed his smile, and the group laughed and joked around the child for a while.

The woman in green leaned against the doorframe, watching the joyful scene on the other side. She clenched her fist and kept pressing it to her lips, trying to suppress the sound of her cough so as not to disturb them.

As he tremblingly took the medicine from his bosom, a jade bottle, as white as mutton fat, was suddenly presented to him in the palm of his hand.

"This is blood ginseng juice, which can immediately replenish vital energy, restore pulse and stop bleeding, and benefit qi and calm the mind."

Qingyi hesitated for a while, and after exchanging a long look with Lu Jin'an, she reached out and took the drink, finishing it in one gulp.

Lu Jin'an had informed Madam Leopard in advance, and then helped him to the nearest room to rest.

Before entering the room, Lu Jin'an felt his subordinate tremble very slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lu Jin'an spoke in a very soft and gentle voice, even holding her breath, for fear of frightening the person next to her.

"Sir, please believe me. I am here, and no one will harm you in the slightest."

He then added, "Lu guarantees this."

It was as if he were making a promise as innocent as a child. Qingyi coughed because he wanted to laugh, and the person next to him grabbed his wrist and pulled him up.

Qingyi glanced over and saw him holding his wrist with complete concentration. Under the warm fingertips, he felt a gentle spiritual energy flowing smoothly through his meridians.

Just now, Lu Jin'an had quietly used his spiritual power to strengthen the repair of some damaged areas in the centripetal connection between his body surface and internal organs, and between his limbs and torso. As long as he takes good care of himself and does not do anything that would damage his heart meridian, even if he still does not have a spiritual root, he will no longer be so weak and deficient.

Being born into Daiyu's body was incredibly painful, a fact Lu Jin'an deeply understands, and she says she never wants to experience it again.

"What are your intentions? Get straight to the point." The voice was solemn and cold, devoid of any emotion.

Lu Jin'an raised his head from his slightly lowered eyes, and a smile bloomed on his handsome and charming face. "If I said I had no intention, you would definitely think that I have ulterior motives and am quite scheming."

The woman in green did not deny it.

"Therefore, I, Lu, have directly asked for your help, sir." Although it was a request, the tone was one of earnestness.

The woman in green smiled slightly and said, "But I hate people who take advantage of kindness."

“But I, Mr. Yu, have done you no favor.” He remained calm and composed throughout, with a gentle and serene smile on his face.

Therefore, there is no such thing as repaying a debt of gratitude.

The woman in green looked at him coldly, her tone indifferent, "Restore our master-disciple relationship, free me from the clutches of the Xuantian Sect, and use the blood ginseng juice of over a hundred years to repair my spiritual veins." He understood each and every one of these matters clearly in his mind.

Lu Jin'an felt the other person's gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny, and innocently waved his hand, "To be honest, it's just a matter of holding a handrail. Does saying that sound a bit arrogant?" Lu Jin'an rubbed his chin, seemingly thinking very seriously.

The woman in green turned her head away, her fingertips curling slightly, feeling uneasy. "If it wasn't intentional, then I was being narrow-minded."

"It would be a lie to say it wasn't intentional," Lu Jin'an denied.

“If it weren’t for you, sir, I wouldn’t have gone to so much trouble.” He squatted down, looked directly at the person sitting by the bed, and spoke with righteous indignation.

"Sir, please consider this my attempt to please you."

Upon hearing this, the woman in green frowned slightly.

"you……"

Lu Jin'an tilted her head, looking at the woman in green with a hesitant expression, and found it somewhat amusing, which fueled her desire to tease her.

"Didn't you say that we were destined to be together?"

"Therefore, it is not only natural for Mr. Lu to treat you better."

Hearing his unserious joke, the woman in green glanced at him and saw the person laughing freely, which made him pause for a moment.

The woman in green tilted her head, lowered it, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Hearing the laughter, Lu Jin'an quickly leaned over to look at him. Their eyes met, and the man in green noticed the boy's delicate eyebrows and relaxed his tightly pursed lips.

"What do you want me to help you with?"
