C30 Master and Servant Meeting
In the evening, Ling Luo found the location of the branch hall using the unique marks left by her Ice Polar Palace. However, she did not go in. Instead, she sat outside at an inconspicuous spot, adjusting her unstable breathing.
There was a broken bowl in front of her, picked up on the road. It was three or four miles from the barracks, and she was almost exhausted. Fortunately, Mohe County could be considered a large city, and there were a lot of people entering and exiting it, so no one paid attention to her along the way.
Seeing that dusk was approaching, she turned her head to look at the entrance of the hall. Picking up a leaf, she blew a few syllables on her lips. The rhythm was rising and falling, this was her unique contact method with Lang Hsing.
Very soon, a person rushed out of the door with an ecstatic expression on his face. He looked around and locked onto Ling Luo, who was sitting in the distance with a broken bowl.
He walked over nervously. The joy in his eyes quickly dissipated when he saw the tattered clothes and the faint traces of blood on her chest. It was replaced by a faint layer of mist.
"Young …" "Ling Luo!" He was about to shout when Ling Luo shot him a sharp look, and he stopped himself in his tracks. Is this brother looking for someone? "
"Yeah, do you know people? I hear he's around here. "
"Of course, please follow me."
A good person meant to eat. Lang Hsing immediately understood what she meant and walked along the path with big strides.
Ling Luo struggled to stand up and staggered to keep up with Lang Hsing's pace. He looked at her from the corner of his eye as she struggled to walk. He felt extremely upset and purposely slowed down his pace.
The two of them entered a large restaurant one after the other. Lang Hsing tossed a silver ingot to the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, one of the best rooms and prepare a table full of delicious dishes. I'll send it over later."
"Alright, please head upstairs, my two guests."
Seeing that it was difficult for Ling Luo to go upstairs, Lang Hsing hurriedly helped her up the stairs to the guest room. His eyes were full of doubt, because other than Baili Nange, she could not find an opponent within the Ice Polar Palace, so how could she be this weak all of a sudden?
As soon as they entered the room, Ling Luo collapsed onto the chair, gasping for air for a few moments before recovering. Seeing Lang Hsing's puzzled expression, she smiled bitterly.
"Master sealed my martial arts, so I can't compare to what I used to be."
"This subordinate pays his respect to Young Lord!" Lang Hsing knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.
"Alright, it's just the two of us, what's the point of being so polite? Get me a girl. I'm a little hurt, and I can't handle it. Get someone to bring me some hot water to bathe in and get me a clean set of clothes. "
"Yes sir!"
After Lang Hsing said this, he immediately walked out. Ling Luo took off her coat, and the clothes inside had already been soaked in blood. She pulled her clothes apart and could smell a thick stench. She frowned and quickly closed her clothes again.
The waiter quickly brought in the hot water. Seeing her blood-stained clothes, he jumped in shock, poured the hot water into the wooden bucket, and quickly left.
Ling Luo pulled up the screen, took off her clothes and sat in the wooden barrel. Warm water soaked her skin, she finally felt better. He slowly took off his mask, revealing her extremely beautiful face. She carefully cleaned the wound, enduring the stabbing pain.
Soon, there were three rhythmic knocks on the door. It was Lang Hsing.
"Come in!"
"What's wrong with you?" Do you know who I am? "He actually dared to forcefully kidnap me."
The moment the door closed, a female voice filled with displeasure came out, which sounded somewhat familiar to Ling Luo. But she couldn't see it because of the screen.
"I don't care who you are, hurry up and serve my family's young lady well, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite." Lang Hsing's voice was very cold, revealing his usual indifference to outsiders. He paused for a moment, then walked to the outside of the screen, "Miss, the person has arrived. I will be standing guard outside the door. If you need anything, please call me."
"Go down."
"Yes!" Go in and take care of our young mistress, do you hear me? "
"Humph!"
An unwilling voice was accompanied by the sound of footsteps. Ling Luo glanced over and was startled. This person turned out to be Hsing'er. She looked so angry that she seemed unconvinced.
However, she definitely did not recognize Ling Luo. She only looked suspiciously at her face, astonishment filling her eyes. You. Who are you? Why does it grow so... This … "She's that pretty?"
The awe in Hsing'er's eyes was absolutely astounding. She had always thought that Yu Qingcheng was unrivalled in this world, but who knew that the girl before her was even more beautiful? If the two of them stood together, she wouldn't protect them, the young lady in front of her would definitely dump her young lady into the street.
"Little girl, you are flattering me. I only called you here for you to help me with my wounds. It's not that convenient for you to be out here." My guard offended you just now. I'm so sorry. "
"Wow, your voice is also so beautiful. If you were to sing, it would definitely be nice to listen to." It seemed that Hsing'er's attention wasn't on Ling Luo's words, but her moaning voice.
When she wore men's clothing, she would intentionally lower her voice to a higher pitch. This time, she had forgotten about it. She smiled and stood up, holding the bucket.
"Could I trouble you to help me dress?"
"Aiya, why are your injuries so severe? "It's all festering."
"No worries, I'll teach you how to deal with it later." Ling Luo replied indifferently.
When she was in the modern world, she had experienced a car accident during her racing training. Back then, she had suffered a worse fall than this, so this injury was like a drizzle to her.
Hsing'er nodded and obediently went out to pick up her clothes. They were a set of feminine attire, a soft and plain Luo dress, fresh and elegant without a trace of extravagance.
"Wow, this dress is so beautiful."
Hsing'er shook off her clothes and couldn't help but cry out as she looked at the glittering silk threads. Ling Luo, however, didn't mind at all. The things she used in Ice Polar Palace were the best in the world. Clothes like these were very ordinary in her eyes.
"You must be from a big family. What's your name?"
"Um... My name is Ru Hua, what about you? " Ling Luo said casually, not wanting to tell her her real name.
"My name is Hsing'er, I came to Mohe County with my young miss. I'm telling you, my Miss is the best at playing the zither in the Seven Kingdoms. Do you know who she is? "
Hsing'er said as she dressed Ling Luo carefully.
"Of course I know. It's Yu Qingcheng."
"Ah?" You actually know my Young Miss's name? "
"Not only do I know her name, I even know her name, 'Fairy of the Demon Zither', right?"
"That's right, that's right. You're too amazing, Miss Flower." After Hsing'er had helped Ling Luo put on her clothes, she inadvertently shot a glance at her. She was so shocked that her eyeballs were about to fall out. Ah, you're actually this beautiful? "
"Thank you! Could I trouble you to help me with my wounds? "
"Yeah."
Seeing that Ling Luo was approachable, Hsing'er treated her well. Sitting her down on the edge of the bed, she began to install what she said about cleaning her wounds.
"Is your back festering?"
"Where is he?"
"Squeeze the pus and blood clean, then apply the Gold Sore Medicine …"
Under Ling Luo's guidance, Hsing'er quickly took care of her wounds and put on a clean set of gauze. After squeezing out the pus and blood, the wound was no longer stinging.
She got up and opened the door. Lang Hsing was standing guard outside, "It's late at night, send this little girl back. Tell the waiter to bring the food here."
"Yes sir!"
"Little girl, thank you." She ordered Lang Hsing to give Hsing'er a silver ingot as repayment.
"If you had said earlier that there would be money to be made, I would definitely have come willingly." With the silver in her hand, Hsing'erhua was overjoyed. She bid Ling Luo farewell and left the restaurant.
When Ling Luo returned to her room, she inadvertently glanced at her reflection in the mirror. She had lost so much weight in these past few days. Her face was pale and her eyes were no longer as clear as before.
At this moment, she really regretted leaving the Ice Polar Palace impulsively, as though she had gone back to Baili Nange's side and would sing 'Feng Qiuhuang' to him every day.
Not long later, the door was opened again. Lang Hsing came in with a few dishes. Young Lord, quickly come and eat. You must be hungry to death, right? "
"I'm a bit hungry." After Ling Luo sat down, she started to eat like a tornado.
Seeing her wolfing down his food, Lang Hsing felt sour in his heart, "Young Lord, Palace Lord has already activated his sacred order to find you. Follow me back."
"... Is he looking for me? " Ling Luo put down her chopsticks and looked at Lang Hsing in shock. How is he now? Are you feeling better? Do you have any use for those medicinal herbs? "
"En, after you left, Loong Chen and the rest ordered the branch to search for your traces, but they never found you, so they had no choice but to use the sacred order. As for Palace Lord … " He hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Tell me, what happened to him?" Ling Luo's eyes darkened. She was no longer in the mood to eat.
"This... Palace Lord, he … According to Loong Chen, Palace Lord stood in your bedroom all night after you left. The next day, when he was discovered, he had already fainted on the ground, and was still … "He still has a head of silver hair."
"... "What else?" Ling Luo's heart ached when she heard that. A layer of mist unconsciously surfaced in her eyes.
"Also … "Also..." Lang Hsing bit his lips as if he was extremely conflicted.
"Speak!"
Ling Luo slammed her palm on the table, cracking the wound that had just been bandaged. Fresh blood oozed out, dyeing her clothes red.
"Young Lord, please calm your anger. It was Palace Lord, who was deeply poisoned at that time, and his heart meridian was damaged. His life was in danger. Since there's no other way, I'll have to use the thousand year old ginseng and Holy Blood Herb that you brought back. However, the medicinal properties of these two items were too strong. After Palace Lord consumed them, he would temporarily … "I'm temporarily a little delirious."
"... What do you mean unconscious? "
"That's right... Other than you, there are many times when you don't remember anyone else. Your temper has changed as well.
Lang Hsing tried his best to avoid the critical situation, but Baili Nange's situation was actually a lot worse than he said. Seeing his evasive appearance, Ling Luo seemed to have understood something.
"Is there no other way? He is the Seven Nations' most mysterious Saint Doctor, can't he treat Master? "
"Young Lord, don't be anxious. There is no other way to cure Palace Lord's condition, because the meridian in his brain is not working. But Long Xiao said that if we want to completely cure his condition, we can only find peerless martial arts cultivators to help him unravel those meridians. "
"Aren't their four martial arts unrivalled?"
"No, their Qi can't help open Palace Lord's meridians. "If I forcefully use brute force, it will break the meridian, and Palace Lord might …"
He didn't say anything else, but Ling Luo already understood what he meant. If all the meridians in a martial artist's brain were broken, then they would be no different from a cripple. Baili Nange is a man who looks down on the world. He can't bear to be a trash.
Therefore, to be able to help him open his meridians, his martial arts skills must be even higher than his. In the current world, there was only one person she knew that could do it, and that was Jun Ximo, the Ghost Face.
She suddenly frowned, not knowing what to do …
