Chapter 205: Calling East and West, Not Treating as Outsiders

Ajin considered himself a man of indifferent temperament, yet he never imagined he would be reduced to a laborer being ordered about by a mortal woman; this Lingxiang's thick-skinned audacity was truly heaven-defying...

Zhao Wuyang was very angry in his heart; Lingxiang was injured to this extent, yet she still had the mind to toy with him. But seeing Lingxiang's frail appearance, he could not utter even a shred of complaint.

He even felt a pang of heartache.

He knew why Lingxiang's legs were like this; after Lingxiang was injured at Xianyun Abode, it left behind lasting consequences. Techniques like the Cloud Treading Step could never be performed again since then, and even light-body techniques were impossible.

Although he did not know what method Lingxiang used to enter Yunmeng Marsh, when he was dragged into the water by Xin Yi, he had seen the stone seat in the lake. That place was more than a little distance from the shore; light-body techniques certainly could not have reached it. She must have used the Cloud Treading Step, otherwise she would not have been slumped under the tree at that time.

In his view, Lingxiang had always been that kind of spirited woman; how could she be as haggard as she was now?

Seeing Lingxiang so severely injured, Zhao Wuyang was suddenly at a loss. He was not like Maidong, who was well-versed in the arts of medicine, nor was his cultivation deep enough to heal others and remove ailments. Thinking of this, he really was quite useless. He had no way to cure his mother's illness, and even in the face of Lingxiang's injury, he was helpless.

Seeing Zhao Wuyang's dim gaze, Lingxiang immediately remembered that Long Qi had once told her that Zhao Wuyang already knew about Alv. This was ultimately a knot in his heart; if it could not be untied, it might turn into his inner demon in the future. But now, she was already unable to look after herself and truly had no energy to guide him.

However, she could not just watch this child wallow in this state.

Thinking this, Lingxiang smiled softly and hurriedly asked, "Where did you find this?"

Zhao Wuyang was still deep in thought and did not react for a moment. He paused for a while before looking up to ask what Lingxiang had said. After hearing Lingxiang ask again, he replied, "I don't know where it came from either. The directions here are hard to distinguish. After I woke up and didn't see you all, I just kept walking in one direction."

Seeing that Zhao Wuyang could answer her questions, Lingxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that little Wuyang was indeed still very simple.

"Then, along the way, what paths did you take? Did you encounter any danger?"

Zhao Wuyang told Lingxiang the whole process of how he had walked all the way there: "I didn't encounter any danger, but that stretch of marshland looked truly terrifying..." At the thought of the previous situation, he still had lingering fears.

Lingxiang, however, began to ponder after hearing what Zhao Wuyang said. Although she knew little about Yunmeng Marsh, this place would certainly not be this peaceful. Even she had encountered strange things; how could Zhao Wuyang's journey be completely tranquil? Unless...

In a flash, Lingxiang understood everything. She thought to herself that a savior had arrived, and she shouted to the surroundings: "Since you've followed us, show yourself quickly. Why hide? Don't you see there is a wounded person here?"

Lingxiang acting like this suddenly confused Zhao Wuyang. Could it be that Small Elder Fucang had suffered such heavy injuries that she was hallucinating? He had clearly been walking alone the whole way. If someone were truly following him, that marsh was so open, how could he not have noticed?

"If you don't come out again, I will wake Adao. You have seen the abilities of his grandmother; although her cultivation is not high, it is more than enough to deal with you."

Thus, Ajin had no choice but to appear before the two of them.
