He took a close look at the words on the notebook. The font was neat and elegant, but exceptionally small, as if trying to save paper.

Pretty, cute, but unable to stretch herself, somewhat similar to the girl herself.

Apart from the words of thanks in the book, the rest of the content was that her younger sister was sick and she was urgently needed to rush home. Ye Xun wanted any reward except this life-saving Xuanhuang ginseng.

She seldom says no to others, let alone to monks who are stronger than herself.

But her younger sister at home really needs this ginseng to save her life, so she can’t let it go.

Ye Xun glanced at Xiao Jinyun again. The girl, who was lowering her head, seemed to notice his gaze and silently held the elixir in her arms tighter.

It’s like a little gray rabbit holding a carrot. If you try to snatch it, you might get bitten.

But even so, Ye Xun could not allow his patient to run around aimlessly in the wild. If he had not appeared in time just now, Xiao Jinyun would have died under the evil cultivator’s sword.

It would be best to send her to a safe place, such as the Liuying Sect.

But obviously, if he couldn’t send the Xuanhuang ginseng back home to save his sister, even if he tied her back to the sect, Xiao Jinyun might sneak out again.

In this way, she could only cut off her thoughts.

Thinking of this, Ye Xun drew out a long sword, and the cold light flashed, causing the girl’s shoulders to tremble slightly.

It’s over, but it still angered him.

Xiao Jinyun closed his eyes, squatted on the ground and shivered, still holding the newly unearthed Xuanhuang ginseng in his arms.

Ye Xun simply grabbed the girl’s collar and pulled her towards the sword.

“Which direction is your home? I’m a doctor.”

Xiao Jinyun looked at Ye Xun timidly.

Doctor? But she couldn’t afford a fairy doctor.

Fortunately, she heard from her senior brothers and sisters in the sect that Xuanhuang ginseng can cure diseases, so there is no need to ask expensive immortal doctors to help.

She wanted to refuse, but the sword suddenly rose into the air, so the girl had to hug his waist awkwardly and point in one direction.

The sword flew rapidly and soon arrived at a dilapidated village.

The girl jumped off Ye Xunjian with her weak legs, pointed at the small house next to her with trembling hands, and still couldn’t help vomiting with a sound of “wow”.

She had just established her foundation and hadn’t even received the clothes of an outer disciple, let alone flying a sword.

But the quality of the fabric of this old Taoist robe was much better than what she usually wore. She was reluctant to get it dirty, so she still carefully gathered the corners of the robe when she vomited.

Ye Xun frowned, not because of the girl’s embarrassing look, but because of the undigested mushrooms and wild vegetables she vomited out.

Is this all she ate in the past two days?

When I walked into the hut, I saw a little girl of six or seven years old lying on the bed, sweating all over her head with her eyes closed.

The girl who had just been vomiting outside the door with a pale face pretended to be calm and turned back to secretly glance at Ye Xun.

She just felt a stream of true energy injected into her back, and then the injuries on her body were relieved a lot.

Ye Xun silently put his hands under his Taoist robe.

The little mute didn’t have time to think about it. He took out the Xuanhuang ginseng, walked to his sister on the bed, broke it into small pieces, and put it under his sister’s tongue.

Is this how this medicine is used?

Ye Xun was a little speechless.

Soon, the girl on the bed began to cough violently.

Xiao Jinyun was suddenly panicked. What the senior brothers and sisters said was right. Cut it into small pieces and hold it under the tongue.

The girl frantically held down her sister on the bed and tried to wipe the sweat from her forehead with a towel.

But everything was in vain, and his sister’s face became increasingly ugly. Xiao Jinyun could only turn around in panic and look at Ye Xun.

She didn’t want her sister to die in front of her, so she could only look at the only life-saving straw at the scene with pleading eyes.

The girl turned around and knelt on her knees.

She didn’t have much money and didn’t have many spirit stones on her, but as long as Ye Xun could save her sister, Xiao Jinyun was willing to give everything as a reward.

Ye Xun watched everything calmly.

“Go boil a kettle of hot water.”

Xuanhuang ginseng can indeed be taken orally, but its medicinal strength is too strong for children of five or six years old.

Ye Xun took out a few auxiliary medicines, added some sedative ingredients, and made a sustained-release decoction in front of Xiao Jinyun.

A bowl of black medicine was ready. Watching Ye Xun helping his sister up and feeding her the medicine, Xiao Jinyun clenched his Taoist robe in his hands, and his sweat soaked the fabric.

Soon, the sister who had been frowning and sweating all the time calmed down.

Although he still has a low fever, he is no longer alive. He will recover as long as the medicine takes full effect.

This made Xiao Jinyun feel relieved, but when she felt Ye Xun’s gaze, she bit her lips tightly again.

The girl slowly unbuttoned the collar of her Taoist robe, revealing a thin, fair collarbone. She reached in and felt around, then pulled out a cloth bag from under her layers of outer clothing.

That was all her savings from the past few months in Liuying Sect, and it was filled with trivial spirit stones.

Xiao Jinyun looked back at his younger sister, and with trembling fingers he counted out two spirit stones and left them behind.

Then, he handed the whole cloth bag to Ye Xun.

Ye Xun was speechless. This kind of reward was not his goal at all.

Seeing that Ye Xun didn’t take it, Xiao Jinyun pursed his dry lips and put another spirit stone back into the bag.

She also hid some steamed bread in the mountains, so she shouldn’t starve to death this month.

Ye Xun shook his head.

“Take me up the mountain. I have something to do in Liuying Sect.”

Ye Xun needs to get a position in Liuying Sect as soon as possible to facilitate Xiao Jinyun’s long-term treatment.

He has considerable medical skills, so it is not difficult for him to gain some status on the mountain. At the very least, he can become an inner disciple or a worshipper.

The girl was a little confused about Ye Xun’s intention. Logically speaking, bringing outsiders into the sect would be punished.

But he had just saved her and her sister, and that alone was enough to give her no reason to refuse.

Xiao Jinyun glanced nervously at the darkening sky outside.

Moreover, if she didn’t return to the sect, her sneaking down the mountain would be discovered.

The sect would not care about her own difficulties. If they found her sneaking out, a few months of fine would be the lightest punishment, as that was the only source of income for her and her sister.

Xiao Jinyun could only nod aggrievedly and awkwardly, but she was still worried about her sister, so she pointed at the neighbor’s house and pleaded with her eyes.

Ye Xun understood and just waited quietly for her to run out. When she came back, he saw Xiao Jinyun’s worried brows were half relaxed, and the neighbor lady who came to take care of her sister followed behind her.

“Let’s go”.

He grabbed the girl by the collar and stepped on the sword.

Chapter 34: Is he standing up for himself?!

It was getting dark. After Ye Xun brought Xiao Jinyun up the mountain, it was already completely dark, but the Liuying Sect was still noisy and chaotic.

It seemed like something serious had happened? Xiao Jinyun shrank his neck timidly, wishing he could completely hide himself in the Taoist robes of a registered disciple.

She was afraid that her running away would be discovered, and her salary for the next few months would be lost, and she and her sister would have to tighten their belts.

Ye Xun knew, however, that as Xiao Jinyun was an outer disciple, there was no need for such a grand ceremony.

There was a commotion in the peak, and Ye Xun could faintly hear that something went wrong when the elder was breaking through, and he was now drowsy.

This was also an opportunity for him. If he could cure this elder, it would be easy for him to stay in Liuying Sect.

In this way, he would also have the opportunity to cure Xiao Jinyun’s muteness and repair the heavenly book to extend his life.

The nervous girl took him back to her residence, and happened to run into a woman who was running out of the room in a hurry.

Xu Xinrong was originally the disciple responsible for taking care of the elders of Lingxu Peak.

But at this moment, something went wrong with Elder Lingxu’s breakthrough, and the entire sect was in chaos. She slowly woke up from her sleep, even putting on her coat while running.

She thought she was in big trouble this time. Even if she was not dismissed from her position as a personal disciple, she would at least be scolded and have her salary deducted.

But when she saw Xiao Jinyun, who had obviously just returned to the sect from outside the mountain protection formation, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she immediately had an idea.

“Jinyun, where did you go just now? I have been looking for you for a long time. The elder just had a breakthrough and something went wrong. You should come up the mountain with me as soon as possible.”

She planned to put all the blame on Xiao Jinyun. Anyway, the little mute couldn’t speak at all. How could he refute when he met the elders?

It was an open secret in Lingxu Peak that Xiao Jinyun would secretly run down the mountain to take care of his sister every now and then.

These senior brothers and sisters often used this as an excuse to ask her to bring things for them from the foot of the mountain.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyun pursed his lips unwillingly, but was unable to refute.

Perhaps being submissive was not her natural character, but Ye Xun had gradually discovered the reason for the girl’s cowardice.

The Liuying Sect not only has inhumane rules, but the atmosphere within the sect is also not friendly.

“Don’t waste any more time. Come up the mountain with me quickly. If the elders punish you, I can still plead for you.”

Just when Xu Xinrong wanted to grab the girl’s hand to prevent the little mute from escaping, she found that the place where Xiao Jinyun had originally stood had been replaced by Ye Xun at some point.

It was too dark and Xu Xinrong could not see Ye Xun’s face clearly. She just thought he was a disciple from another peak who came to join in the fun.

“who are you?”

Now that I look closely, I realize it’s a stranger.

Xu Xinrong smiled again and looked at the girl who deliberately dressed herself up to look dusty, with her bangs covering her eyes and biting her lips.

I didn’t expect that this little country girl would bring a man to the mountain. It’s really strange.

This is a big deal. Maybe I will be punished to face the wall and reflect on my mistakes for a long time. In this way, Elder Lingxu will not have the time to blame me.

Seeing that Ye Xun didn’t reply, Xu Xinrong thought he was guilty, so she wanted to catch the couple having a secret meeting even more proudly.

At the moment when she was about to bump into the two men, a burst of true energy made her stagger and she accidentally fell backwards to the ground.

“You, you dare to touch me? My Senior Brother Chang is the chief disciple!”

She couldn’t see through Ye Xun’s cultivation level, so she could only hurriedly point at Ye Xun and bring up her good friend, her senior brother, to give her courage.

Chang Dong is the chief disciple of Lingxu Peak and also knows a lot about medical skills.

He should be treating the elder’s injuries on the mountain right now, which is why Xu Xinrong is so unscrupulous.

“How do I get up the mountain?”

Ye Xun ignored her and just turned around to ask Xiao Jinyun.

The little mute was stunned for a moment, and instinctively pointed in one direction. Then, as if he thought of something, he grabbed the corner of Ye Xun’s clothes and shook his head.

It was against the sect rules for her to bring Ye Xun up the mountain. If they were discovered, Ye Xun would probably be arrested on the spot.

It was only natural that she sneaked down the mountain and was punished to face the wall, but she couldn’t let Ye Xun be implicated.

“You’d better get her down the mountain quickly. Once Senior Brother Chang cures the elder, he won’t be able to escape.”

Xu Xinrong seemed to have found her confidence again. She hurriedly got up from the ground and sneered in a contemptuous tone.

Anyway, she already has the evidence, and if Ye Xun runs away, it will be exactly what she wants, which will only cause Xiao Jinyun to be punished more severely.

When she saw a flash of cold light coming out of the sheath, Xu Xinrong was so frightened that she closed her mouth tightly.

“Sword.”

Ye Xun stepped on the cold sword and called Xiao Jinyun to come up.

The little mute looked at Ye Xun, then turned back to look at his senior sister, bit his lip, and took Ye Xun’s hand.

“Hey, wait a minute!”

Xu Xinrong then remembered that if she didn’t go up the mountain, she would probably not be able to escape punishment.

But Ye Xun didn’t want to pay attention to her, and flew towards the elders’ residence on his sword, leaving Xu Xinrong alone in the place, furious.
