When Jiang Yuebai saw Xie Jingshan in the backyard of Shanhai Tower on Chaosheng Island, he was shocked. His face was bloodless, his breath was weak, and he was obviously seriously injured and had not recovered.
Moreover, the injuries were so severe that even the elixirs from Shanhai Tower could not cure them at once?
Luo Tingzong, an old servant of the Xie family, accompanied Xie Jingshan with eyes filled with distress. When he saw Jiang Yuebai coming, he persuaded him again.
"People have been found for you, why don't you just go into the house and lie down and say no? You have damaged your foundation and you have to take good care of it, otherwise you will be useless."
When Xie Jingshan saw that Jiang Yuebai was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Luo Tingzong to help him back to his room.
"Mr. Luo, the guards outside..."
"Don't worry, our ancestor is also on the island. Who dares to come and cause trouble?"
Xie Jingshan nodded and sat on the bedside. Luo Tingzong took out a pill and fed it to him.
After doing this, Luo Tingzong walked up to Jiang Yuebai and whispered, "You come out first."
Jiang Yuebai nodded solemnly, looked at Xie Jingshan, and followed Luo Tingzong out.
Luo Tingzong explained the general situation to Jiang Yuebai and handed her two portraits, "These two people should not be from the earth spirit world. In this earth spirit world, as long as the young master gives his name, no one dares to risk being killed by Shanhailou." The risk of pursuit hurt him.”
"Now Shanhailou has mobilized all its connections to search for these two people, but nothing has been found. The ancestor is very worried about their background. If it involves the Tianling World, Shanhailou may not be able to offend the forces behind them."
Jiang Yuebai understood this, and Lu was a lesson learned from the past.
"Are they looking for me?" Jiang Yuebai asked, frowning.
Luo Tingzong nodded, "That's what the young master said. What is the specific reason? The young master didn't even tell the ancestor. I must tell you personally."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "I understand, thank you Mr. Luo."
"Our young master treats you... forget it, I believe you are a good boy and will not make our young master embarrassed. I will stay outside and call me if you need anything."
Jiang Yuebai frowned slightly, bowed his hands in thanks, and went into the house to find Xie Jingshan.
"There is..." on the door.
Before Xie Jingshan could finish speaking, Jiang Yuebai had already found the switch for the sound isolation array in the house and turned on the sound isolation array.
Jiang Yuebai turned around and looked at Xie Jingshan, who was leaning on the head of the bed. He looked pale now, with his hair hanging behind his back. He was less energetic and silly than usual, but rather calm and noble.
This time, it was a huge blow to Xie Jingshan. Ever since he was a child, he had never experienced such a life and death crisis, nor had he ever encountered such a powerful opponent that left him unable to fight back.
He even watched the person who desperately saved him die in front of his eyes.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but sigh.
"Do you want a drink of water?"
There was silence in the room, and Jiang Yuebai asked.
Xie Jingshan slowly came to his senses, shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sit down. Mr. Luo must have told you the general situation. Those two people are looking for something in Fengyunhui's secret realm."
"There are so many things in Fengyunhui's secret realm, why did they come to you first?" Jiang Yuebai wondered.
Xie Jingshan shook his head slowly, "I don't know their source of information. They were indeed the first to find me, and they were very sure that I got it..."
Xie Jingshan paused and turned to look at Jiang Yuebai. Jiang Yuebai didn't know why.
Xie Jingshan smiled bitterly, "I originally wanted to practice secretly, but when the time comes, I will overwhelm you with my blockbuster success. In the end, I am still too naive."
"I got a sword pill left by the ancient sword master in the bronze maze. At first I thought they were looking for this sword pill, but then they said it wasn't and mentioned another woman. That person looked at it last It’s the north, so I guess it’s you, and it’s most likely you.”
Jiang Yuebai immediately thought of the colorful bead. Among the things she got in the secret realm, this bead was the most valuable. Even the ancient banyan old demon's magic inheritance and rattan bracelet were far less valuable. This thing.
Looking at Jiang Yuebai's expression, Xie Jingshan knew that she did have what those two people wanted.
"They obviously have the means to detect things like that, but they also mentioned that once the thing is sacrificed, you must hand it over alive. Once you die, they will not be able to get it. During this period, I will Stay on the island to recuperate, my grandfather is also there, you stay, don’t run around before you find those two people, it’s too dangerous.”
"Uncle Kuan..." Xie Jingshan frowned in pain, paused before continuing, "Uncle Kuan is a late-stage Jindan sword cultivator. Although he has not been listed on the Jindan-stage sword cultivator list, his strength is definitely among the best in the entire land. Among the top ten Jiejindan cultivators. That person was only at the early stage of Jindan cultivation. He didn't even reach the limit of a quarter of an hour before he defeated Uncle Kuan..."
Xie Jingshan coughed violently, and Jiang Yuebai hurried over to help him pat his back.
"Okay, stop talking. I already know the situation. It's useless to say anything now. It's more important that you rest in peace and recuperate."
Xie Jingshan pinched Jiang Yuebai's wrist, looked at her and asked, "You're not going to stay, are you?"
Jiang Yuebai withdrew his hand, thinking of what Luo Tingzong had just said, and sat on the edge of the bed to think about it.
"I can hide here for several months or even half a year, but I can't find them, so I can keep hiding, right? And they are people from the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Unless I hand over that thing, otherwise this matter It can’t be finished.”
"I can't hand it over. That thing is also very important to me. If I give up just because of fear, I will be destroying my Taoism and breaking my own path. So from the moment they set their sights on me, this has been a no-win situation."
Xie Jingshan lowered his eyes and clenched his fists little by little. He had never been as helpless as he was now, and what his grandfather said to him...
Grandfather said that he should be patient this time. After all, it had nothing to do with him and he should not bury the whole Shanhai Tower with him.
His omnipotent grandfather would actually say such a thing.
Jiang Yuebai smiled slightly, "Xie Jingshan, you must understand that I can't stay and let Shanhailou and your grandfather protect me. This is my own business, just like this vicious villain in Beihai, who has no worries and kills." There's nothing wrong with hiding from others."
"Sometimes I envy you that your relatives are around, but if something like this happens, it's better for me to be alone. Don't worry. I, Jiang Yuebai, have never been afraid of anyone since I was a child. If I can beat him, I will beat him. But if I just run away, hide and practice for a while and then fight, I will eventually kill them."
"Besides, we have never been to the Tianling Realm. Who knows if there is really power behind those two people? What if they are just two casual cultivators? It is not in vain to worry, so, relax, the troops will come to cover up the water and the earth. "
Xie Jingshan clenched his fists tighter and tighter, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you never known how to write the word fear? Do you know that feeling of being on the verge of death but unable to do anything?"
"I know, many times." Jiang Yuebai replied calmly.
Xie Jingshan suddenly turned his head and stared at Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai said seriously, "Xie Jingshan, do you know that you live in a false and beautiful world? Do you really think that I can get to where I am today by not sleeping every day? I have experienced a lot of narrow escapes. Back then, When I joined the sect, I was almost beaten to death by Lin Xiangtian in front of the mountain gate, it's not like you haven't seen that before."
Xie Jingshan was shocked.
Jiang Yuebai continued, "If you are afraid because of this setback, then don't blame me for looking down on you. And one thing, I really look down on you."
"You obviously have resources that everyone envies, but you still have to pretend to be aloof and rely on your own abilities to practice. It seems that you don't rely on your family, but in fact you take advantage of them everywhere. If you are really capable, then don't call yourself Xie Jingshan. Change your name. Face, go out and see who in this world will give you three points of thin noodles?"
"You know you are scared now, so why don't you use the resources you have to try to improve your strength? If I had a background like yours and spent all the time I wasted on making money on cultivation, I would be all golden elixirs by now. A real person."
"If you had put down your fragile self-esteem earlier and didn't care what others said about you, maybe you would have beaten those two people to pieces this time. If others said that you only have money from your family, you would not say a word to them. , are you envious? Go cry!"
Xie Jingshan suddenly smiled bitterly and gradually loosened his fists.
"I won't tell you anymore. You need to recover well. I will stay on the island for a few days and come to see you tomorrow."
Xie Jingshan nodded and said nothing. No one could change what Jiang Yuebai decided.
After Jiang Yuebai left, Luo Tingzong walked in. Seeing Xie Jingshan in a daze, he stayed with him silently.
Xie Jingshan was stunned for the whole afternoon. At dusk, he seemed to have figured out something and took a deep breath to regain his consciousness.
"Where is my grandfather? I want to go and apologize to his old man. In the future... I also ask Mr. Luo and my grandfather to help me."
