Wu Xie quickly pulled Ling Xiao out of the pool, and the remaining three, seeing that Wu Xie was alright, also jumped down from above.

"Lingzi! Lingzi!" Wu Xie patted Ling Xiao's face and found that Ling Xiao's face was pale and he didn't look alive at all, which frightened Wu Xie.

Ling Xiao groggily opened his eyes, smiled at Wu Xie, and said, "Are you calling back the soul?"

"You scared me to death!" Wu Xie was relieved to see that Ling Xiao was alright, and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

"I'm not dead yet, it's a bit early to be mourning me," Ling Xiao joked weakly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Xie said angrily, then, as if remembering something, added, "Get up quickly and see where you're hurt."

Ling Xiao gently comforted him, "I'm fine! Don't worry."

Wu Xie ignored him and held up a flashlight, circling around him. He then discovered that the back of Ling Xiao's head had turned blood red.

"Your head is bleeding!" Wu Xie seemed somewhat panicked.

At this moment, Lao Yang and Master Liang also came over. Master Liang looked at Ling Xiao and then touched the back of his head, saying, "The bleeding is a bit serious, but it's nothing serious. He probably hit a rock. Just bandage it up and it'll be fine."

Wu Xie suddenly remembered Ling Xiao's blood problem and was about to stop Master Liang, but Master Liang's hand had already touched him and nothing happened.

This surprised Wu Xie, who asked Ling Xiao, "Ling Zi, is there no poison in your blood?"

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I found it a couple of days ago, but I forgot to tell you."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, this is really great news." Wu Xie paused after saying that, then realized that this was not the time to celebrate, so he went to look through Ling Xiao's backpack, took out a bandage, and wrapped it around Ling Xiao's neck.

As for why he didn't use his own, the things in his backpack were washed away by the water before he jumped off the waterfall. Fortunately, he didn't lose the Thousand Chance Umbrella, otherwise he wouldn't know how to face Ling Xiao.

While being bandaged, Ling Xiao asked Liang Shiye, "Where is Boss Wang?"

"After I jumped down, all I saw was this young man," Liang Shiye replied, pointing at Lao Yang.

Wu Xie tied a big bow on Ling Xiao's head, but Ling Xiao couldn't see it at all, which amused Liang Shiye and Lao Yang.

"Which way do we go now?" Ling Xiao asked. He knew that Wu Xie must have done something to his head, but he didn't care. Anyway, Wu Xie had helped bandage it, so he could do whatever he wanted to him!

"Let's wait until your bleeding stops! You might have to go into the water again later, and a brain infection is no small matter!" said Master Liang.

Ling Xiao glanced at him, pulled him aside, and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Little brother?"

The clerk paused for a moment, then looked at Ling Xiao, but his expression changed.

That look in his eyes was clearly asking: How did you know?

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was Xiao Ge and smiled at him, saying, "I guessed it. You always jump out at crucial moments, so I wanted to make a bet to see if it was you. I didn't expect to be right!"

Ling Xiao asked him again, "Why did you come down here yourself?" After all, this tomb was largely Xiao Ge's doing, so he didn't need to come down here himself.

"Xiaohua paid," the deliveryman said.

Ling Xiao noticed that as soon as his disguise was removed, he immediately reverted to his aloof persona, and couldn't help but think to himself: Why is he so concerned about his image?

Then I remembered what the young man had said. Xiao Hua had given the money, and I looked at Wu Xie again. Suddenly, I felt a pang of envy, and for the first time, a bittersweet sadness welled up inside me...
