Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Leaving and Planning

Lin Xing opened his eyes and looked at Jing Shiyu, he grinned and said, "The antidote should be in this knapsack, once we find it, we won’t have to worry about this poison smoke anymore."

Severely wounded, Jing Shiyu, who was now looking at Lin Xing in front of her, also smiled and said, "Mm."

The two searched together for a while and each took the antidote.

Only then did Lin Xing remember to look towards the direction of the cliff and only then did he notice that the people who had been ambushed above had all disappeared without a trace.

Jing Shiyu said, "I guess they all ran away."

She took out a bottle of elixir from her own bosom and said, "This is Spirit Ginseng Pill produced by the Holy Sect, it can replenish qi and blood and speed up the recovery of injuries."

Jing Shiyu first took one herself, then poured one for Lin Xing.

Lin Xing took it with his hand and swallowed it, and moments later he felt a warm stream of air spreading from his stomach.

After resting back to back for a while, Jing Shiyu looked at the poison smoke in front of them and said, "We can’t keep staying here, we should hurry and leave."

Thus, the two of them helped each other up, and as Lin Xing passed by Zhang Tiande, he suddenly stopped and looked at the charred and motionless Zhang Tiande.

Lin Xing saw that Zhang Tiande at his feet was not completely dead yet, and he couldn’t help but sigh slightly at the martial artist’s strong vitality.

Jing Shiyu thought to herself, considering Zhang Tiande was after all Lin Xing’s brother in arms, and knowing how kind-hearted Lin Xing was, could it be that at this moment he wanted to save the other?

So, Jing Shiyu asked, "Lin Xing, do you want to save him?"

Lin Xing pondered and said, "I’ve always felt that people in this world are more or less a bit troubled."

Recalling the situation in Building C, he said uncertainly, "If we send people to our place, many who originally had issues seem to gradually get better, at least they become much calmer than before."

Looking at Zhang Tiande at his feet, Lin Xing said with some anticipation, "I really want to try and see, if we also send such a strong person there for treatment, whether or not it can cure his troubles and make him a normal person."

Jing Shiyu looked confused and asked, "Zhang Tiande... isn’t normal?"

Lin Xing, recalling the battle just now, said, "He’s far from normal. Based on my experience, he currently has symptoms of bipolar disorder, showing tendencies of depression and suddenly turning to manic episodes."

Of course, Zhang Tiande himself also had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, but right now Lin Xing didn’t remember.

Although Jing Shiyu didn’t understand some of the details, she understood Lin Xing’s general intention and asked, "So you want to take him to the secret realm?"

Lin Xing nodded and looked towards Bai Yiyi, who was still checking on Puppet Girl, and said, "Master Bai, please pick him up and come with us."

"Just ask me to do this kind of work, making it seem like I’m just here for chores," Bai Yiyi muttered resentfully, "I played a crucial part in winning this battle!"

After a moment, Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu, supporting each other, walked ahead, and Puppet Girl carried Zhang Tiande behind them.

When they passed by the charred corpse of Jing Yuwei, Jing Shiyu stopped for a moment.

Seeing her stop, Lin Xing asked, "Is that your senior sister? Do you want to take some ashes back?"

Jing Shiyu smiled at his words, shook her head, and said, "No need, bringing it back would only make things complicated for me, let her rest eternally among these mountains."

Thus, the two continued on their way, soon leaving behind the charred corpse of Jing Yuwei.

Having rested a while ago, Jing Shiyu’s mental state had also calmed down.

At this moment, she slowly mobilized some remaining spiritual thoughts, and with a slight sound, she directly crushed the distant charred corpse of Jing Yuwei and swept it aside into the dust.

She sighed in relief in her heart: "Crushing the bones and scattering the ashes, now no one will be able to find her."

In fact, when she had stopped at her senior sister’s corpse earlier, what she thought was, "Lin Xing doesn’t seem to like it when I mess up corpses, so I just won’t let him see."

Then they walked out of the canyon, and found a clearing in the woods to decide to take a break temporarily.

Bai Yiyi used Puppet Girl to collect some dry firewood.

Lin Xing stretched out his hand and drew a Spirit Fire Talisman on the ground.

"Nature of heaven and earth, heed my command, fire come!"

Several flames surged up, instantly igniting the dry wood.

Jing Shiyu used her spiritual mind to gather a large patch of dry grass and spread it on the ground.

Soon, Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu collapsed onto the grass mat, sleeping back to back.

Both spiritually and physically, they had reached a limit at this moment and had to recover through sleep.

Bai Yiyi, controlling the Puppet Girl, was applying golden sore medicine to Zhang Tiande, who was severely burned all over his body.

The elixir was provided by Jing Shiyu, but Zhang Tiande’s burns were too severe, and she wasn’t sure if the medicine would work; it was a last resort.

While applying the medicine, Bai Yiyi glanced at the two sleeping figures and snorted coldly in her heart, "Again, making me do these menial tasks."

Suddenly, the cat doll paused in its motion, and it seemed that Jing Shiyu, who was back-to-back with Lin Xing, felt a bit cold and unknowingly clutched Lin Xing tightly, a slight smile unknowingly appearing on her sleeping face.

Seeing her like that, Bai Yiyi was filled with disdain, "She doesn’t resemble Master at all, and yet she wants to compete with me for the disciple? Without me, they would all be dead."

...

A day later.

By the river.

Accompanied by Lin Xing’s sweeping spiritual mind, fish flew straight out of the water.

Removal of scales, guts, inserting into trimmed branches...

Accompanied by Lin Xing’s spiritual mind, ten fish were stuck by the fire and started roasting.

After a night’s rest in the woods, Lin Xing felt that the weakness in his soul had completely vanished, and both the spiritual mind in his consciousness and his physical strength had fully recovered.

Now, his only feeling was hunger, an intense hunger.

Jing Shiyu sat beside him on the grass mat, clutching her knees, watching Lin Xing who was focused on roasting the fish, and a smile unknowingly emerged on her lips.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had clutched Lin Xing in her sleep the previous night, and a faint red color quickly brushed her cheeks.

But she still looked straight at Lin Xing in front of her, as if she couldn’t bear to look away.

Lin Xing handed over the roasted fish, "Is one enough for you?"

Jing Shiyu took the roasted fish, a hint of amusement flickering in her eyes, "It’s enough."

Quietly sitting by the fire with Lin Xing, eating the roasted fish, Jing Shiyu truly wished this moment could last longer, even longer.

But she was a pragmatic woman; she knew that to enjoy the tranquility before her, stronger power was needed, as well as various plans for the future.

"Lin Xing?"

"Hmm?"

"What are your plans next?"

"First, a period of rest, then a trip back to the secret realm, and after preparing, I’ll head to the Taiqing Sect."

"The Taiqing Sect... it’s too close to the Xingxiao Sect, can we not go?"

"... No."

"I understand."
