Chapter 146 Rescue
The City Lord of Muyun City readily agreed: "No, I will investigate this matter immediately and give Elder Gu an explanation. I will also start working on the subsequent compensation immediately and make sure Elder Gu is satisfied."
Elder Gu's face was grim. He nodded and led the Sword Sect disciples away.
Lin Jun gently picked up Zisu, fearing that he might cause her further harm.
While unconscious, Zisu must have smelled a familiar, comforting scent, and unconsciously snuggled closer to Lin Jun's arms.
Lin Jun felt as if his heart was being gripped by an iron hand, experiencing a suffocating pain.
This revenge must be avenged!
The group hurriedly left the city lord's mansion and boarded the carriage they had come in.
Everyone in the carriage remained silent.
Elder Gu spoke first, saying, "This young lady is seriously injured. Why don't you come to my Dan Pavilion's shop to rest and recuperate? I have plenty of rooms there, enough for you all to stay."
Lin Zhifeng said, "I'm afraid I'll disturb your peaceful cultivation, Uncle."
Elder Gu said, "Why are you being so formal now? Not only is it convenient for me to treat the wounded, but my safety is absolutely guaranteed. Even if you're not afraid of retaliation from the City Lord's Mansion, the culprit hasn't been caught yet!"
Lin Zhifeng said, "Then we'll take our leave. Thank you, Uncle!"
Elder Gu said, "Your father and I were once sworn brothers, but after he got married and had children, he became estranged from us. In a way, aren't you my nephew? Don't stand on ceremony with your uncle!"
Lin Zhifeng obediently replied, "Okay, Uncle!"
After Elder Gu resolved their accommodation issue, he was able to settle down and consider how to treat Zisu's injuries.
Although everyone was also worried, they were helpless because none of them knew medicine.
After pondering for a long time, Elder Gu said, "Miss Zisu is currently unconscious. Let's stick to conservative treatment for now?"
Lin Zhifeng answered on behalf of Lin Jun: "Please make the decision, Uncle. We trust your abilities."
Elder Gu said, "In my opinion, we should go back and give her a high-grade healing pill to heal her external injuries. As for her shattered meridians, she can take a mending pill. But we don't know how effective it will be! We also don't know if it can restore her to her original state."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhifeng realized he possessed both kinds of Flawless Pills, which he had refined while practicing on others during his time at the Sword Sect. He had originally planned to exchange them for spirit stones or medicinal herbs, but unexpectedly, they had come in handy.
Everyone here is one of our own, even if Elder Gu isn't very familiar with them. But since he's my father's old friend, and he's helped us so selflessly this time, and even protected us at the City Lord's Mansion, he must be someone we can trust.
Lin Zhifeng decided to take a small risk.
He took out a high-grade healing pill and a mending pill from his storage ring and presented them to Elder Gu with both hands, saying, "Uncle, I happen to have the high-grade healing pill and mending pill you mentioned here, and they are both flawless pills. Why don't you use mine?"
Elder Gu was initially "lured" down by them because he saw Wuxia's Nascent Soul Pill. He was preoccupied with rescuing people and hadn't had a chance to question him properly. Now, seeing that Wuxia even possessed high-grade healing pills and recovery pills, he was quite surprised.
However, Elder Gu thought for a moment and realized that since he even had a flawless version of a high-grade pill like the Divine Transformation Pill, it was normal for him to have obtained flawless versions of high-grade healing pills (a basic pill) and intermittent pills (a mid-grade pill).
It seems my nephew is a blessed and fortunate child!
Elder Gu took the pills from Lin Zhifeng, opened the bottle, poured them out, and looked inside. Sure enough, they were all flawless pills.
Elder Gu, seeing that there were many people in the carriage, did not inquire further about the source, but simply nodded and said, "Very good, let's use these two medicines."
Lin Jun was naturally filled with gratitude; Lin Zhifeng was such a loyal brother. Without his support and help along the way, how could he and his brothers have achieved what they had today? Now, he owed Lin Zhifeng a life-saving debt, and Lin Jun didn't know how to repay him.
His eyes were brimming with tears as he gazed at Lin Zhifeng with deep affection, giving Lin Zhifeng goosebumps.
Lin Zhifeng knew exactly what he was thinking. He said, "Senior Brother Lin Jun, don't be so polite with me! We brothers should support and help each other. If I were injured today, I believe Senior Brother Lin Jun would do his best to help me heal. We have a long future ahead of us, so don't be so sentimental!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to tease Lin Jun: "You better wipe your snot and tears right away. If they drip onto Sister Zisu's face, I'm afraid she'll kill you when she wakes up and finds out!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and chuckled to himself.
The others couldn't help but smile as he made them laugh.
The previous atmosphere of sadness and depression was thus relieved.
Elder Gu witnessed the whole process and spoke up to comfort everyone: "We cultivators travel all over the country, and there are dangers everywhere. What is this little injury? As long as you are alive, there is always a way. Don't be sad, it's not like it can't be healed."
Lin Jun hurriedly wiped away his tears and solemnly thanked Elder Gu.
As Elder Gu looked at them, he couldn't help but recall their own past. How wonderful it was to be young!
Because the carriage was carrying a sick person, the return journey was much slower than the journey there.
Upon arriving at Dan Pavilion's shop, Elder Gu got out of the car first to arrange accommodations for everyone.
Lin Jun settled Zisu down first, while the others said goodbye and went back to the inn to pack their luggage and check out.
Lin Zhifeng, being the "liaison" between the two parties, stayed at the Dan Pavilion shop and did not return to the inn.
He didn't leave much stuff at the inn, so he asked Ding Mo to help him pack it up and bring it over.
After settling the wounded and the others into their rooms, Elder Gu beckoned to Lin Zhifeng and said, "Good nephew, come with me."
After saying that, he led the way to his residence on the third floor.
Lin Zhifeng agreed and quickly followed.
It's estimated that Elder Gu will now interrogate him about the origin of the Flawless Pill.
