Mo Tiange knew there were many Foundation Building cultivators guarding outside, but she was too lazy to care about them.
Even if she did, what could she do?
How could an Aura Refining disciple fight against so many Foundation Building cultivators?
In any case … without reinforcements, she and Second Uncle would die sooner or later.
A loud "rumble" came from outside. Mo Tiange regained her composure and took out her Green-Wood Sword. She was determined to go to the underworld with uncle and nephew so that she wouldn't fall into their hands and suffer another round of torture.
But when she swung her sword, her hand suddenly went numb. She couldn't hold the sword anymore and it fell to the ground.
Then she heard a familiar voice. "What are you doing?"
Mo Tiange looked up and was stunned. "You …"
Qin Xi, who just stepped through the door, frowned slightly. "Do you want to commit suicide?"
Mo Tiange stared at him in disbelief. "Senior Martial Brother Qin?"
Qin Xi didn't say anything. He walked towards Ye Jiang, held his wrist, and injected his spiritual aura to examine his injury.
His brows wrinkled. He then took out a jade box from his Qiankun Bag and opened it. Inside was a verdant spiritual plant.
He plucked one of the leaves and stuffed it into Ye Jiang's mouth. Then he made a hand seal, sending a fiery light into Ye Jiang's body along with the leaf.
His movements were very fast. It wasn't until he was done that Mo Tiange finally reacted. "Senior … Senior Martial Brother Qin?
Why are you here?
What did you give Second Uncle to eat? "
Qin Xi, who was still injecting spiritual aura into Ye Jiang, looked up and glanced at her. "Don't worry. This is a temporary way to prolong his life. Your Second Uncle's injuries are too serious, so I can only keep him awake for a while."
"This …" Mo Tiange didn't know what to say. The current situation was completely beyond her expectations. She had a lot of questions in her mind, but she couldn't ask them.
Moreover, she felt that Qin Xi seemed different from before. It was as if she was very small in front of him.
That means …
"Senior Martial Brother Qin, did you succeed in building your foundation?"
Qin Xi didn't answer. He was still concentrating on injecting spiritual aura into Ye Jiang.
Judging from his behavior, it didn't seem like he wanted to harm Second Uncle. Mo Tiange thought about it and rushed to the door, only to see that there was no one there!
She was very surprised. Even if he succeeded in building his foundation, how could he fight against more than a dozen Foundation Building cultivators?
Moreover, how did he get here?
Mo Tiange felt her mind was in a mess. What's going on?
Before he could ask, Ye Jiang groaned and seemed to have woken up.
Upon seeing this, Mo Tiange hastily rushed back. "Second Uncle!"
Ye Jiang opened his eyes with difficulty. When he saw the scene in front of him, he finally fixed his gaze on Qin Xi. "You're …"
Qin Xi said gently, "My surname is Qin."
Ye Jiang was startled. In an instant, his eyes were filled with ecstasy. "You … You are …"
Qin Xi showed a faint smile and said, "I'm from Qin Clan. I just happened to receive the news and rushed over."
Upon hearing Qin Xi's confirmation, Ye Jiang actually calmed down. He closed his eyes, gasped for breath, and grabbed Qin Xi's hand. "Finally … finally made it …"
Qin Xi raised his hand to stop him. "Don't get excited.
I can't cure your injury. Right now, I can only give you the final radiance of a setting sun. If there's anything you want to say, please tell me as soon as possible. "
These words caused Ye Jiang's eyes to dim for a moment, but he quickly revealed a smile.
He already knew he wouldn't be able to live. This time, Xiaotian could be saved!
"Second Uncle …" Although she knew Second Uncle didn't have long to live, watching him die still made her heart feel like it was being cut by a knife. Mo Tiange raised her head, stared at Qin Xi, and said anxiously, "Senior Martial Brother Qin, you have a way, don't you?
Can you let my Second Uncle live …? "
Ye Jiang stretched out his hand to stop her. He said with a smile, "Xiaotian … Don't be sad. There'll … There'll be a day like this."
How could Mo Tiange not know she was being unreasonable? But she really couldn't …
Ye Jiang sighed softly and said, "Xiaotian, you … go outside first. Wait a moment, then … come back in."
Mo Tiange wiped the tears on her face. She didn't understand. "Second Uncle, I …"
"Be obedient." Ye Jiang stared at her with a determined gaze. "Just for a moment …"
While she was hesitating, Qin Xi said, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, I'll be here. You can rest assured."
Mo Tiange looked back and forth between the two of them. In the end, under Second Uncle's insistence, she nodded.
Second Uncle must have his reasons. She thought she'd better listen to Second Uncle. In the future … she might not have another chance.
Mo Tiange walked out of the room. When Qin Xi saw Ye Jiang's expression, he immediately understood. With a wave of his hand, a Soundproof Barrier appeared around the two of them.
He said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, if you have something to say, just say it."
Ye Jiang stared at the young man in his early twenties in front of him. He seemed to be examining him. "I don't dare to … call Senior … Fellow Daoist. I think Senior … should be … Master Daoist Shoujing, right?"
Qin Xi lowered his gaze and asked calmly, "How did you know?"
Ye Jiang took a deep breath, but he still smiled. "Although … my cultivation level isn't … inferior to Senior's, I … have some experience … Senior suppressed your cultivation level to … the Foundation Building realm, but your technique … is actually something only Core Formation seniors can do …"
Seeing how difficult it was for him to speak, Qin Xi once again transferred a bit of spiritual aura into Ye Jiang's meridians. He said, "Your brother is my friend in times of adversity. Since you're his younger brother, you don't need to call me Senior."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiang slightly relaxed, but he still didn't change the way he addressed Qin Xi. "So … Senior doesn't mind … mind what happened in the past?"
Qin Xi just smiled. "I can understand what you're thinking.
Besides, why would I bicker with juniors over such trivial matters? "
Ye Jiang finally felt relieved after receiving confirmation.
He closed his eyes and gasped for breath for a while. When he calmed down, he once again said, "Please forgive … Junior's rudeness … Does Senior have … a good impression of Xiaotian?"
Once Ye Jiang said this, a hint of sharpness appeared in Qin Xi's eyes, but he still said calmly, "What do you mean?"
How could Ye Jiang not know Qin Xi was slightly angry? However, he didn't panic. He still said slowly, "Senior, don't … don't misunderstand. The good impression I'm talking about isn't love. It's just that Senior seems … doesn't want … Xiaotian to know your identity. Junior … can feel … that Senior treats Xiaotian … differently …"
After speaking for such a long time, Ye Jiang once again couldn't breathe.
Qin Xi once again poured spiritual aura into his body. He said faintly, but he didn't directly answer, "If you want to feel at ease, I'll agree.
After today, I'll take her back to Xuanqing School and protect her until she has the ability to protect herself. "
Ye Jiang showed a happy smile. In the end, he didn't gamble wrongly.
"There's another matter … If Junior doesn't ask clearly, I won't feel at ease …"
As soon as he spoke, Qin Xi understood. "You're talking about her constitution?"
Ye Jiang nodded with difficulty. "Junior knows my request is a bit excessive … However, if I don't say it … I won't be able to die in peace …"
This time, Qin Xi was silent for a long time before he finally said, "Alright, I'll also agree to your request. If she doesn't agree, I won't force her."
"No." Ye Jiang shook his head and said, "Junior … Junior's request is that … when necessary, Senior can … give her a push …"
Qin Xi was stunned. He didn't quite understand what Ye Jiang meant.
Mo Tiange was sitting outside the room, staring blankly at the sky.
She couldn't hear the slightest sound inside the room, so it was obvious the room was soundproof.
She was a bit surprised because she never expected Qin Xi to be a disciple of Xuanqing School. Moreover, from what he said, he seemed to be a junior disciple of Master Daoist Shoujing.
But she also realized something in her heart. No wonder this Senior Martial Brother Qin has such unusual treasures and has such an unusual demeanor in every aspect.
Judging from his momentum, he seems to have built his foundation, right?
It's really strange that he actually built his foundation in another cultivation group. Presumably, with his identity, he must be an elite disciple in Xuanqing School. Besides, he also has Core Formation and Nascent Soul elders, so it should be quite easy for him to build his foundation. Could it be that this is a quirk of disciples of famous cultivation groups?
She couldn't help but feel it was funny, but she couldn't laugh.
She knew very well that Second Uncle was going to die … What should I do without Second Uncle?
She asked herself, but she only felt her heart was empty.
After a long time, Qin Xi's voice finally came from inside the room. "Junior Martial Brother Ye, please come in."
Mo Tiange regained her senses from her meditation. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and hurriedly entered the room. "Second Uncle!"
Ye Jiang was leaning against the wall. Qin Xi was still pouring spiritual aura into his body, but his spirit was rapidly weakening. Even his eyes were almost unable to open.
"Xiaotian …" He stretched out his hand with difficulty.
Mo Tiange hastily grasped his hand and knelt in front of him. "Second Uncle, I'm here."
Ye Jiang showed a smile, but he still tried to stretch out his hand and stroked her head like he did when she was a child.
This action, full of love, made Mo Tiange blink her eyes, and tears started to fall down her cheeks.
"Xiaotian … Tiange, don't cry. Second Uncle … is leaving. You … have to live well …" Tears also flowed out of Ye Jiang's muddy eyes and flowed down his wrinkled face. He also felt that this was really an eternal parting.
"Xiaotian, Second Uncle … there are two things … I can't let go of …"
"Second Uncle, tell me. I'll definitely listen to you."
"Okay … listen.
First, after you … form your Gold Core, go … go back to Ye Clan in the secular world and see … if there's anyone with spiritual roots. You don't have to rebuild … Ye Clan. You just have to … give some help to the younger generation. "
Mo Tiange nodded repeatedly. "I understand. I'll definitely … definitely go back to see."
Ye Jiang nodded slightly and looked at her tenderly. "Second, Second Uncle … Second Uncle entrusted you to Daoist … Master Daoist Shoujing. In the future … you have to cherish … cherish yourself, understand?"
By the time he finished speaking, Ye Jiang's cheeks were already full of tears. If he could, he really, really wanted to see her by himself, but … the heavens didn't allow it.
Mo Tiange, who was kneeling in front of him, was also sobbing. She could only nod desperately.
Ye Jiang's eyes started to lose focus. Even though Qin Xi kept pouring spiritual aura into him, he still couldn't make him more spirited.
He murmured, "Big Brother … I'm sorry, I … I'm going to see you …"
At this point, there was no more sound.
Mo Tiange sat on her knees in a daze. Her tears kept falling, but she didn't make any sound.
She vaguely felt as if she had returned to thirteen years ago, to the day her mother passed away … That kind of inconsolable grief of losing her forever made her unable to say a single word.
When her mother died, she once felt the sky was going to collapse. But later, the heavens gave her a Second Uncle.
Second Uncle loved her, spoiled her, and also strictly disciplined her. Although she only called him Second Uncle, in her heart, she respected him as if he was her father.
Sometimes, she also thought how good it would be if her father was still alive. But every time she thought about it, she would scold herself for being greedy. Second Uncle had already given her everything he could, including his life. What else could she ask for?
Having Second Uncle was enough.
But … Second Uncle still left, leaving her behind …
It was as if the sky had collapsed once again.
"Junior Martial Brother Ye!" In the midst of her blurriness, someone shouted, "Do you want to die?"
She opened her eyes in confusion, but she couldn't see clearly. She felt someone holding her shoulder and shaking her hard. "Breathe!"
A force hit her back. She couldn't help but cough, and the sound of crying also leaked out.
She laid her head on her lap and wailed like a child, letting her tears drown her.
Although she had learned the Law of Immortality and was no longer weak, at this moment, she still felt that she was the little girl from thirteen years ago …
Second Uncle said that losing was for growing up.
But she'd rather not grow up!
Someone sighed softly and pulled her up, letting her lean on his shoulder, but he didn't say anything.
