I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 190: Guilt

They have the guts and the connections to obtain information about an assassin organization that even the Bai family struggles to find.

Is the family behind Xiao Ling the kind that is not well-known, extremely low-key, and ridiculously powerful, such as the kind with many powerful cultivators in the family?

How else can it be explained?

To dare to dig up dirt on the Blood Shadow Tower like this, especially since they make a living through assassination, is clearly a threat!

Aren't they afraid of being silenced by someone who comes knocking on their door?

There must be a lot of confidence behind them!

So why would someone personally come to give you this information? If he opened a clinic and had this kind of information, what great use would it be other than using it as a placeholder for leftover bones at the dinner table?

...or rather.

This wasn't actually meant for him, was it?

Perhaps this intelligence was actually intended for the Bai family!

However, the Bai family is far away, and he happens to have an old servant of the Bai family here.

Think about it this way.

Gu Heng's mind was immediately enlightened, as if struck by a sudden awakening!

"Uh, well..."

Xiao Ling's face stiffened.

As expected, Young Master Gu saw through it!

The Nianling Sect is no match for the Blood Shadow Tower in terms of size, so how could it possibly have such intelligence? Of course, Xiao Ling had considered that Gu Heng must have seen through that there was someone else behind this, but Xiao Ling couldn't fight against Yan Xuan Wang. It was either do it or the Nianling Sect would be wiped out.

Furthermore, this intelligence, in a way, is somewhat useful.

Xiao Ling keenly noticed that Gu Heng's female disciple was staring intently at the scroll containing detailed information about the Blood Shadow Tower.

She definitely won't let this go!

Xiao Ling gritted his teeth and braced himself, just as he was considering whether or not to directly expose Yan Xuanwang.

Gu Heng lazily looked away and waved his hand, saying, "Never mind, I don't care about all that. I understand why you came. Anyway, I have to thank you for making this trip."

"You can keep that intelligence, Grandpa Bai Mo. What you do with it is up to you."

He continued to examine the painting, which was modeled after Qin Yiyao's pose, and said nothing else.

It's useless to say it.

With this intelligence, the Bai family will definitely fight the Blood Shadow Tower to the death...

Gu Heng waited here for good news.

It's best to avoid any bad news.

"...Very well! My Bai family will definitely give you an explanation!"

Bai Mo's face turned red as he looked at the intelligence report. He was so happy that he was excited. He solemnly promised, "The Bai family will definitely not let Young Master Gu down!"

He then handed the intelligence over to the Bai family.

what does this mean?

It's because Young Master Gu values ​​the Bai family and wants to give them a chance to prove themselves!

Of course, pressure also comes with it. If the task of annihilating the Blood Shadow Tower is botched, the Bai family will really disappoint him. In that case, forget about any benefits, he could very well be targeted by their wrath at any time.

Therefore, the Bai family can only succeed this time; they absolutely cannot fail!

Gu Heng smiled after hearing this.

"You're too kind, you're too kind. I don't care if I'm disappointed or not. The main thing is, I don't want my girl to suffer too much. She's suffered a lot of injustices before..."

"I understand!"

"Miss, please take care. I'll be returning to my clan now."

Bai Mo took this information and hurriedly bid farewell and left. Based on his understanding of Gu Heng, he had gone all the way out of Yunling City and found a desolate wilderness before daring to use his Dao power to leap into the air.

In front of Gu Heng, who has retreated to the mortal world, one must act like an ordinary person.

The only ones with special privileges were Qin Yiyao and perhaps Bai Feier... Xiao Ling, after he left, watched Gu Heng examine his painting, then rolled it up, tied it up, and handed it to Qin Yiyao.

“Mr. Gu, what do you think about this matter…”

He hesitated.

Gu Heng raised his head and glanced at him.

"Hmm? Is there anything else, Young Master Xiao?"

Strange, he's already delivered all the intelligence, what's he still doing here?

Surely we're not expecting him to treat us to something?

Xiao Ling's expression changed several times, as if he had been struggling with it for a long time, but he couldn't make up his mind to speak. Xiao Ling felt an indescribable despair.

Because, it seems that Young Master Gu doesn't intend to give any "reward"!

King Yan Xuan, you've miscalculated!

Xiao Ling's heart was screaming, and even though cold sweat soaked his back, he remained calm on the surface: "It's nothing, I'll be going now, so as not to disturb Young Master Gu's rest..."

He was thinking to himself whether he should just expose himself and reveal everything that King Yanxuan and he had done.

But if it's said aloud...

Young Master Gu would probably be disappointed in him, and it's not impossible that he might even kill him on the spot.

"...What's wrong with you?"

Gu Heng, however, realized something was wrong.

He stepped forward, pulled open Xiao Ling's sleeve, and then he could see that his right arm was covered in purplish-blue marks, as if the bones were broken and the tendons were torn, and it was covered in wounds.

Something is definitely wrong!

No wonder this young master was dawdling and reluctant to leave; it turns out he was seriously injured.

Gu Heng's medical skills are top-notch; he could tell at a glance that all the bones in this arm that should be broken were broken. It's truly a wonder that Xiao Ling could endure it; anyone else would have been lying on the ground groaning in pain long ago.

"Young Master Xiao, who did this to your injury?"

Without a doubt, he was beaten up.

"I...I'm fine." Xiao Ling withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes, and said, "I'll be going now."

He turned and left.

Gu Heng quickly caught up and stopped him: "Wait, how come your injury is all healed?!"

Bai Feier and Qin Yiyao, who were standing nearby, remained silent. Gu Heng waved his hand, and the two obediently went back upstairs.

"Come on, come into the house with me."

Gu Heng pulled Xiao Ling towards the front hall.

He took out the ointment he had prepared specifically for treating broken bones and sprains, and carefully applied it to Xiao Ling's entire right arm. This medicine was his unique formula, and the ingredients were all sourced from the system's store. Its main feature was that it was fast-acting!

He has used this on many patients who have had various accidents and broken their arms and legs, and they recover in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

After applying the medicine.

Xiao Ling could feel the sharp pain in his right arm suddenly turn into a numb and itchy sensation.

It's already starting to heal slowly?!

The medicine works instantly; it's truly a miracle drug!

The arm that Yan Xuanwang had crushed was actually beyond Xiao Ling's ability to heal with pills, because the remnants of Yan Xuanwang's Dao power had already seeped into his muscles and bones. Only high-grade spiritual medicines could dispel this power.

Xiao Ling himself did not have such powerful cultivation, and forcibly removed the remnants of Yan Xuanwang's Dao power.

In just one or two days, his arm will be completely ruined.

“Mr. Gu, I…” Xiao Ling felt extremely guilty.

I already owed him a huge favor, and now that I've received his help again, I feel even more ashamed.
