Feeling the body temperature of Cheng Yanqi's hands, Lin Xixue gradually calmed down from her panic, but the tearing pain between her eyebrows still made her thinking a little chaotic.
"Master Cheng, how long have I been unconscious?"
"You slept for three whole days and had nightmares for three whole days. I tried many methods, but couldn't comfort you. Finally, it was me holding your hand that made you relax a little."
"Three days. Three days is not good. I was in a coma for three whole days?!" She woke up suddenly, feeling something bad.
Not to mention that Henying also held King Cheng hostage and was waiting for him outside the city. The most important thing was that Bai Qing was in danger alone and he didn't know if he was okay now.
After all, an existence that could freeze the entire sect of Tingxue Tower in an instant was definitely not something Bai Qing could handle alone.
She didn't care about her headache or avoiding Cheng Yanqi. She quickly raised her little finger and tried to contact Bai Qing, "Aqing, are you okay?"
She pursed her lips, feeling extremely uneasy and hoping Bai Qing would reply as soon as possible. Cheng Yanqi saw her sad face and asked hurriedly: "Miss Lin, what's the problem?"
Lin Xixue sighed quietly, bit her lip, and shook her head slightly.
Fortunately, a moment later, there was a slight tremor in her little finger, and it was Bai Qing who replied: "Everything is fine, the pill recipe has been obtained, but you can't be contacted."
"I was seriously injured a few days ago and I just woke up. I will contact you as soon as possible." Lin Xixue felt quite apologetic in her heart. She only felt that her loss of contact this time must have made Bai Qing worried again.
However, Bai Qing's ability to retrieve the Xue Po Pill recipe safely was beyond her expectations. Originally, she was ready to go to the rescue immediately after waking up, but she didn't expect that Bai Qing had already succeeded.
"I have brought Xiao Xu to meet you and discuss the details."
"good!"
After the two of them exchanged opinions and felt at ease, Lin Xixue's face relaxed.
Cheng Yanqi, who was sitting by the bed, noticed Lin Xixue's strange behavior, but after seeing her show off her face, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Master Cheng," Lin Xixue took the initiative to speak, "how is the plan for the relocation of the book residence?"
"Everything is ready now. The girls and nuns who don't want to move with us have also been given gold and silver and settled properly. We can start our journey as soon as the storm in Jingyun City is over."
"Okay, although Yanyou has been killed by me, there are still a few things in the city that I need to finish. After I finish these things, I will come back here to meet you again."
After saying that, Lin Xixue was about to get up and go outside the city to find the whereabouts of Henying before entering the palace to settle accounts with the Dog Emperor.
"Miss Lin," before she could take a few steps, Cheng Yanqi suddenly stopped her, "Did you destroy the wall of Jingyun City?"
Lin Xixue was slightly startled, but she didn't hide anything and replied directly: "Yes."
Cheng Yanqi's red lips parted slightly. She had already known that Lin Xixue had extraordinary magical powers, but she never thought that she could break a city wall over a hundred feet high with one strike.
She bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Lin."
This thank you made Lin Xixue a little confused. For a while, she couldn't think of any direct connection between the destruction of the city wall and Cheng Yanqi.
Seeing her confusion, Cheng Yanqi continued to explain: "Miss Lin possesses unpredictable power. She could have forced me to submit, but she was willing to pierce her finger with a bamboo stick in order to clear up the suspicion."
Lin Xixue turned around, lifted her up, shook her head with a smile, and then quickly left the secret room and rushed out of the city.
Although her injuries have not healed at this moment, her physical body is still incomparably strong. With the blessing of the mantra, she has already arrived at the place agreed with Henying in just a cup of tea.
However, looking from a distance, he saw only Henying "lying" on the ground among the scattered rocks, and King Cheng had long since disappeared.
Lin Xixue's heart froze, and she quickly opened and took out the Spectral Light to break the night. Not caring that the sea of consciousness had not yet fully recovered, she opened her consciousness and carefully explored it.
As expected, Hen Ying had lost all his vitality, but strangely, there were no wounds on Hen Ying's body, not even signs of fighting. It was as if his life had been cut off out of thin air.
what on earth is it?
Who killed Henying and rescued King Cheng?
The situation that seemed clear just now seemed to become strange again in an instant.
Could it be that Yanyou is not dead?
Impossible. At that time, I had repeatedly confirmed that Yanyou had no breath at all, and it was even more impossible for him to slip away under his nose.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Yanyou is really not dead, there is no way he would have known that Henying had brought King Cheng here.
Moreover, this silent and life-stealing method is obviously not like what Yanyou did.
Just when she was at a loss what to do, she suddenly saw a small piece of gravel not far away rolling out of thin air. After a few moves, it turned into a girl with double buns. Her dress was actually the same as the one in King Cheng's garden before. The attire of the maids you see is generally the same.
The maid opened her mouth and shouted to Lin Xixue: "Mother, you are finally here!"
Lin Xixue saw her changing magical powers and immediately understood that she was Yanzi, and quickly asked: "What's going on, how did Henying die, and why did you become like this maid?"
Yanzi, who transformed into a maid, threw herself into Lin Xixue's arms, as if she was a bit coquettish, and said: "It's King Cheng. King Cheng smiled first, then patted Henying's shoulder, and then he died."
"I patted his shoulder, and then he died. How exactly did you pat him?" Lin Xixue asked.
When she heard what Yanzi said, she couldn't help but frown. Although this Henying was not a person with great power, he was not a mortal after all. It was really unimaginable for someone to take away his life after being tapped on the shoulder.
In particular, she had met King Cheng before. He was obviously an ordinary person without any magic power. How could he have the ability to steal people's lives?
"How did you shoot it?" Yanzi clasped his fingers, then waved his arm in the air, demonstrating the situation for Lin Xixue, "That's it, it was shot like this? It's just like a normal shot on the shoulder, there is no difference."
"What about you? King Cheng doesn't intend to kill you?"
"Of course he wanted to kill me, but first I turned into leaves, then into withered grass, and then into dust. Finally, he couldn't find me, so he left angrily."
"I was afraid that he was pretending to leave and would kill me again when I showed his true nature, so I kept my stone form and didn't dare to look for my mother."
Lin Xixue chuckled lightly, touched Yanzi's head, and said, "She's quite clever!"
Yanzi smiled and rubbed his head against Lin Xixue's palm, seeming to enjoy Lin Xixue's praise.
Lin Xixue touched her chin lightly, feeling that there was too little effective information at the moment, and it was really impossible to make further judgments.
However, the life and whereabouts of King Cheng actually had nothing to do with her, and she was too lazy to continue to delve into the feud between the royal brothers.
After she went to the palace to settle the accounts with the dog emperor, she would leave Jingyun City and no longer care about such nonsense.
However, she originally wanted to use this shadow as an opportunity to follow the clues and find the lair of the so-called "Holy Sect", but now that the clues have been interrupted again, it is still a pity.
But then I thought about it, as long as this "Holy Sect" is still active in Yunzhou, there will always be clues to be caught in the future, but there is no rush to complete the work overnight.
She touched Yanzi's head again and ordered: "Okay, you are still lurking on me as before. Let's leave here as soon as possible."
Yan Zi nodded obediently and silently transformed into a bracelet, which rested on Lin Xixue's wrist.
Lin Xixue looked in the direction of the palace, a glimmer of coldness flashed across her eyes, and she quickly moved towards the palace as if she was sticking to the ground.
