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

Chapter 192: If you like bullying people, then try bullying ghosts?

"Your Highness, you...are here?"

Xiao Ling wiped away his sweat and forced a smile.

Originally, he had time to consider things, such as how to use the lamp. Perhaps Gu Heng gave him the lamp so that he could have an absolute guarantee of victory in dealing with King Yan Xuan!

However, King Yan Xuan appeared at this very moment.

He appeared before Xiao Ling as if he had fallen from the sky, without any warning.

Being caught like this is absolutely awful!

Xiao Ling secretly pondered how to escape. If he couldn't escape, Mr. Gu's ancient lamp would easily fall into the hands of King Yan Xuan, and Xiao Ling himself wouldn't even have a chance to react.

As someone who had just reached the first level of tribulation, it was impossible for him to make any move in front of Yan Xuan Wang, who had reached the sixth level of tribulation, without being detected.

King Yanxuan seemed to have guessed his plan, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.

"What? Is there something else on your mind?"

He raised his palm.

The powerful, bloodthirsty aura instantly imprisoned Xiao Ling!

This is the difference in strength; the chasm is so vast. Although Xiao Ling used all his strength and burned his life essence, he might be able to break free and even injure Yan Xuan Wang...

But that's meaningless.

If he dares to resist, the Nianling Sect will be buried along with him.

"I have been keeping an eye on your every move."

“From the moment you entered the clinic until you left… did you really think anything could escape my eyes?” King Yanxuan sneered. In the distance, a fledgling eagle flew in from the night and slowly landed on his shoulder.

At this time.

Xiao Ling then noticed that this fledgling eagle...

It has no head, no feathers, and only a large, blood-red eye on its belly!

Xiao Ling dared not speak, only watching as Yan Xuanwang waved his hand, and the ancient lamp immediately flew out of his arms and landed in Yan Xuanwang's hand.

"you……"

Xiao Ling immediately tried to struggle.

"take it easy."

King Yanxuan merely glanced at him indifferently, and then made Xiaoling abandon all plans to resist.

He didn't want to pay any attention to Xiao Ling; only this ancient lamp was what he most urgently wanted to figure out! Although.

This lamp doesn't seem to have anything special about it.

Its exterior was dilapidated and ancient. Even when King Yanxuan tried to channel a trace of his Dao power into it, he could not elicit the slightest reaction.

"Hmm, this thing actually looks quite interesting."

No matter how he tried, the lamp didn't react at all, but the more he did, the more confident he became.

The things that the clinic owner could bring out were absolutely rare treasures that were hard to find anywhere else in the world!

Unfortunately, no matter what he did, he couldn't activate the lamp, and Yan Xuan's greed was quickly extinguished.

It seems that either he is too weak or his knowledge is too limited.

In short, King Yanxuan couldn't use this lamp, but since he couldn't use it, he would arrange things according to his original plan.

"This is for the even stronger one—that Grand Elder of the Heavenly Talisman Sect!" "Elder Xiao Ling, you've done a very good job. I'm quite satisfied."

"I naturally hope that the Nianling Sect can last a long time, and you think so too, right?"

King Yanxuan asked slowly and deliberately.

"Naturally."

Xiao Ling said through gritted teeth.

"Then you'd better behave and listen to me."

King Yanxuan looked at him indifferently, "Once I have taken care of this important matter, you will all be safe and sound."

With that said, he turned and left.

Xiao Ling finally caught his breath. Yan Xuanwang had long since disappeared into the distant horizon, but his back was soaked with sweat.

I was so scared I almost peed my pants!

"call……"

Xiao Ling took two deep breaths to calm his fear and anxiety. Now was not the time to worry about Gu Heng's lamp being taken away. He quickened his pace and headed towards Nianling Sect.

Upon returning to the Nianling Sect, they found the mountain gate still intact.

The Supreme Elder finally breathed a sigh of relief.

but.

The lamp that Mr. Gu gave him!

It was just stolen like that!

How is he supposed to explain this to Mr. Gu...?

Xiao Ling was extremely conflicted. After much deliberation, he felt that Gu Heng might have considered everything, even the possibility that the lamp might be directly taken away by the King of Yan Xuan...

If that's really the case, that would be good, but Xiao Ling doesn't know.

He became increasingly anxious and had no idea what to do.

This is the only thing that can happen when you're caught between two powerful opponents you have no chance of dealing with—you'll be caught in a dilemma.

……

Inside the Gu Family Medical Clinic.

Gu Heng was packing his things in the back room when Qin Yiyao came downstairs and leaned against the door.

"Master."

"Ok?"

"What just happened?"

Girls her age are all curious, and Qin Yiyao is one of the best among them.

Qin Yiyao still remembered Xiao Ling, the Supreme Elder who had once visited the clinic, received an eighth-grade pill from her master, and then defeated his opponent in Jingku Valley, causing him to lose his Dao heart balance.

But the way he hurriedly left, and the panic written on his face, were still there.

This made her realize that things weren't so simple. That Xiao Ling's mission to deliver intelligence was a ruse; his real intention was to request help!

Qin Yiyao's thoughts are completely different from those of her reborn age. From the perspective of "Emperor Saint Yao", the person behind this is definitely targeting her number one master in the world!

Then we can't just ignore it.

"Oh it's all right."

Gu Heng smiled nonchalantly, "Young Master Xiao just encountered a minor problem, so I was simply helping him out."

"Really?" Qin Yiyao was skeptical. "I don't think it's a small matter."

Gu Heng raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yiyao, his eyes filled with a probing light.

Then he walked over.

He flicked Qin Yiyao's head with his finger, not too hard, not too soft.

"Oh dear, Master, what are you doing!" "Little brat, you want to find out everything. With so much energy, why don't you help your master wash your dirty clothes?"

He showed the basket of clothes in his hand.

Inside were all of Qin Yiyao's clothes after her bath. This was not unexpected for Gu Heng, as his disciple particularly liked white and pink, to the point that Gu Heng dared not wash these intimate undergarments together with dark-colored clothes.

If you accidentally dye it a different color, that would be terrible.

"I just wanted to ask..."

Qin Yiyao touched the top of her head, then pouted and stepped aside.

This action clearly showed that she thoroughly enjoyed Gu Heng taking care of everything. If it weren't for the real difference between men and women, she probably would have already asked her good master to give her a bath.

Washing clothes? No way!

"Sigh, it's nothing. It's just that Young Master Xiao was threatened and targeted, and was bullied." Gu Heng carried the clothes basket to the backyard to fetch water.

"I have a good impression of him, so I thought I'd help him out. It's nothing serious anyway."

Anyway, it's just mortals bullying mortals; cultivators definitely won't get involved in this kind of dispute.

Gu Heng took out the lamp and gave it to Xiao Ling to take back; it was actually very simple.

There's a real ghost living inside!

Those are evil spirits who died tragically in the gloomy, ruined palaces of the mountain streams, where they could be quiet or terrifying!

Mere mortals, no matter how strong they may be.

If you encountered such an old ghost, wouldn't you be so scared that you'd wet yourself?
