Mo Tiange stealthily carried Jiang Shanghang back then carried him into the house and knocked on Liu Yidao's door. "Senior Martial Brother Liu, Senior Martial Brother Liu?"
After a while, Liu Yidao finally opened the door. "Junior Martial Brother Ye, what's the matter?"
Mo Tiange pointed behind her. Liu Yidao was shocked when he saw what was behind her.
Jiang Shanghang was lying on a chair, his face covered in blood and on the verge of death.
Liu Yidao first checked Jiang Shanghang's injuries to confirm they weren't life-threatening. He then looked outside the house to make sure there was no one else there before asking in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Mo Tiange pointed at Jiang Shanghang then at his house. "Senior Martial Brother Liu, let's talk inside."
Liu Yidao thought for a moment then nodded.
All the doors outside were open, so it wasn't a good place to talk.
At that moment, the other two doors opened. Xu Jingzhi and Qin Xi also came out.
Upon seeing this scene, Xu Jingzhi was also gobsmacked while Qin Xi wrinkled his brows.
Liu Yidao gestured for them to be quiet then carried Jiang Shanghang into his house. He took out a medicinal pill and fed it to him before signaling the others to come in.
After the other three people entered his room and closed the door, Liu Yidao asked, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, what's going on?"
Mo Tiange told him what happened then said, "From what I saw, Jiang Chengxian didn't seem to be afraid Senior Martial Brother Jiang would reveal this matter, so he didn't dare to make it public and secretly brought him back."
Xu Jingzhi interrupted, "Junior Martial Brother Ye did the right thing. Among the two Core Formation grandmasters of Jiang Clan, one of them is Jiang Chengxian's direct elder. Because of that, Jiang Chengxian has an elder protecting him, so he's completely lawless.
Since he dared to beat Senior Martial Brother Jiang like this, others definitely won't dare to do anything to him. If people find out it was Junior Martial Brother Ye who brought him back, they might even implicate him. "
They weren't as good as Xu Jingzhi when it came to matters related to clans and sects, so they didn't object.
Mo Tiange said with a bitter expression, "I just thought Senior Martial Brother Jiang would've most likely been injured even if he survived being thrown there.
Besides, Jiang Chengxian really went too far. "
Liu Yidao patted Mo Tiange's shoulder and comforted her. "Rest assured, only the few of us know about this. It'll be fine as long as we don't tell anyone else. In the future, tell Junior Martial Brother Jiang to go out less. He really can't prevent others from scheming against him."
Among them, Xu Jingzhi was a member of a small cultivation clan while the others were individual cultivators. They really didn't have a good impression of hedonistic sons of rich families who took advantage of their power to bully others. Compared to them, Jiang Shanghang only treated them coldly.
The others nodded. Xu Jingzhi asked, "How's Senior Martial Brother Jiang's injury?"
"His Dantian was not injured, but his meridians were affected. It is not serious, but it will take some time to recover."
After confirming that Jiang Shanghang was alright, everyone dispersed. Xu Jingzhi and Qin Xi went to cultivate.
Mo Tiange felt like she was meddling in other people's business, but she was too embarrassed to let Liu Yidao clean up the mess, so she stayed behind.
The two of them chatted on and off. When night fell, they finally saw Jiang Shanghang move.
Jiang Shanghang opened his eyes and looked at the two of them in confusion. Soon after, a vigilant look appeared in his eyes. He abruptly sat up, but his wound hurt. His face immediately scrunched up.
Liu Yidao comforted him. "Junior Martial Brother Jiang, don't worry. We won't tell anyone."
Seeing that this wasn't his room and the two people in front of him didn't seem hostile, Jiang Shanghang slowly calmed down. He asked, "Were you the ones who saved me?" However, his tone was still bad as if he was saying "How could you possibly have saved me?"
They finally managed to carry him back with great difficulty, yet this was his reaction.
Mo Tiange was a bit unhappy. She snorted and said, "We just carried you back like you were a dead pig. Since you're alright, return the healing medicine to Senior Martial Brother Liu and go back to your room."
Jiang Shanghang didn't refute her. He took out a jade bottle from his robe and placed it on the table, wanting to get out of bed.
Liu Yidao saw him swaying, so he helped him up and advised, "Junior Martial Brother Jiang, you should go out less in the future. Fortunately, Junior Martial Brother Ye saw you and brought you back, otherwise …"
Jiang Shanghang uttered an "en" then said, "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother Liu." He then went back to his room and closed the door in front of Liu Yidao. Obviously, he didn't appreciate Liu Yidao's kindness.
Mo Tiange was annoyed. She said to Liu Yidao, "He really took my kindness for granted!"
How could Liu Yidao find him pleasing to the eye? It was just that he had a lot of experience and was a lot more mature, so he could only advise her, "Forget it. Since Junior Martial Brother Jiang doesn't want to deal with us, we'll just stop dealing with him in the future."
In any case, she didn't have any dealings with Jiang Shanghang. This time, she only brought him back conveniently, so she didn't need to be angry. "Forget it. Senior Martial Brother Liu, I'm going back to cultivate."
Aside from this little episode, her life didn't change much.
Oh, a little bit.
Sure enough, that Senior Martial Sister Murong often looked for her to play. Summoning Talismans often flew to her, and her roommates thought she really hooked up with someone, so they always smiled at her ambiguously.
But since she invited her so enthusiastically, she couldn't refuse. Besides, this Senior Martial Sister Murong always used all kinds of seeds to seduce her, so she couldn't help but go.
"Junior Martial Brother Ye, hurry up!"
"I can't hurry! Senior Martial Sister, don't be impatient."
Murmurs could be heard coming from the bushes. Two people were struggling.
"It's done!" Finally, Mo Tiange brushed the seasoning one last time and gave a piece of roast meat to Murong Yan.
This Senior Martial Sister Murong really had a common language with her. She only called her out for one thing — to roast meat for her!
Mo Tiange frowned. "Senior Martial Sister, eating food like this will affect your cultivation." While gnawing on a piece of pork rib, Murong Yan rolled her eyes.
Murong Yan gnawed on a piece of pork rib as she rolled her eyes. "Don't think I don't know that food with spiritual aura has less pill poison left behind than medicinal pills. You just don't want to roast it for me!"
"It's not that I don't want to give Senior Martial Sister face, but Senior Martial Sister, you're leaning on a big tree to enjoy the shade, so you don't know the difficulties ordinary disciples like us face.
The group's minor competition will be held in three years. My cultivation level is only in the eighth layer, so if I don't work hard, I'll have no hope. I can only wait another ten years. "
Murong Yan could understand Mo Tiange's words. She pondered for a while then said, "Senior Martial Sister also feels bad for delaying your cultivation. How about this? Junior Martial Brother, every time you sneak out to eat, send me a Summoning Talisman.
Is that okay? "
What did she mean by "sneak" … Mo Tiange nodded gloomily. "No problem."
Murong Yan gnawed on a large piece of pork rib then stretched out her hand to pinch Mo Tiange's face. "Aiya! Junior Martial Brother Ye, your expression really makes me want to bully you."
Mo Tiange's hand was smeared with grease, but she resisted firmly. "Senior Martial Sister, you're too bad! If you pinch me again, I won't roast meat for you."
Murong Yan was still smiling. "If you don't roast meat for me, I'll pinch you again."
Mo Tiange retreated in defeat. "Fine, I'll roast you another piece. Don't pinch me."
After accepting the bribe, Murong Yan let go.
While drooling, she stared at Mo Tiange roasting and asked, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, are you really seventeen?
Why do you look like you're fourteen or fifteen? "
Her question made Mo Tiange even more depressed.
She couldn't do anything about it. Among women, she wasn't considered tall, let alone as a man.
Moreover, her skin was smooth and her face was hairless. Pretending to be a man was also very difficult for her.
Fortunately, Murong Yan was still kind. She patted Mo Tiange's head and said, "Don't worry, you'll grow taller."
Mo Tiange smiled bitterly in her heart.
If she was a man, seventeen years old wouldn't be considered too late. Unfortunately, she wasn't, so the chances of her growing taller weren't high.
She gloomily handed the roasted meat to Murong Yan, told her something, and went to find a place to wash her hands and face.
This place was already upstream of the stream. There was a waterfall above it, and the water flowed down, forming a deep pool below.
After making many turns, she was about to go to the pool to wash her hands, but she was stunned.
The waterfall was several hundred feet high and the water flowed rapidly, but there was actually a person sitting and meditating under the waterfall.
It wasn't appropriate to say he was sitting. Under the waterfall was a deep pool, and there were no rocks to sit on. That person was sitting cross-legged on the water, letting the waterfall wash down and hit his body.
What kind of martial art was he practicing?
Mo Tiange was a bit dazed. This seemed like a martial art from the secular world.
In fact, martial arts practitioners in the secular world cultivated Body-Refining Techniques. It was just that they weren't as brilliant as those in the cultivation world.
But this person … Mo Tiange couldn't tell. He didn't seem to have the aura of a cultivator, but he seemed very powerful.
This person looked very familiar to her. He seemed to be … Qin Xi?
