"Wen... Junior Brother, Wen... Junior Brother..."
A familiar voice ca from outside the house.
It was Zhang Tiancheng, whom he hadn’t seen for many days.
"It’s... Zhang Tiancheng..."
Hearing this, Wen Zhixing imdiately walked outside.
He was secretly puzzled. Not because Zhang Tiancheng ca looking for him, but because Zhang Tiancheng should have co to find him much earlier.
"Senior Brother Zhang... eh?"
Wen Zhixing smiled as he stepped out the door, and then he saw a person covered in injuries, beaten until his face was unrecognizable—a pig’s head?
Who on earth are you?
Wen Zhixing genuinely couldn’t recognize the person before him as Zhang Tiancheng. Zhang Tiancheng was thin; he wasn’t usually this swollen.
"Wen... Junior Brother, it’s . I heard... heard you were injured. I ca to see... see how your injuries are. Is there... is there any discomfort?"
Zhang Tiancheng managed to squeeze out a smile but winced in pain.
Wen Zhixing was speechless. Um... it seems your injuries are more severe. Zhang Tiancheng’s state left him rather confused.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, for your concern. I’m mostly alright now."
Wen Zhixing was taken aback for a mont, then asked with concern, "However, Senior Brother, are you... really okay?"
"Heh, what... what could possibly be wrong with ."
Zhang Tiancheng stubbornly shook his head, then said, "Wen... Junior Brother, help up."
"Ah... oh, right."
Wen Zhixing snapped back to reality and quickly stepped forward to lift Zhang Tiancheng’s left arm.
"HISS... it hurts..."
Zhang Tiancheng suddenly inhaled sharply. "Junior Brother... it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! The right... right hand, hold my right hand!"
"Ah... oh, right."
Wen Zhixing quickly let go and shifted his position to lift Zhang Tiancheng’s right arm.
"Senior Brother Zhang, are you sure you’re okay?"
"I’m... fine!"
Zhang Tiancheng clenched his teeth.
"Alright then."
Wen Zhixing chuckled to himself. Quite stubborn.
After so effort, Zhang Tiancheng was helped into the house by Wen Zhixing.
"Senior Brother, what happened to you?"
After Zhang Tiancheng sat down, Wen Zhixing asked again. This ti, his expression was much more serious.
"Ai..." Zhang Tiancheng sighed, his face bitter. "Junior Brother Wen, I won’t hide it from you; these past few days have not been good for either."
"Senior Brother, who exactly did this to you?" Wen Zhixing frowned as he asked again.
Usually, within the Wonderous Palace, Zhang Tiancheng was rather successful and had the support of Dongfang Shiqin. Ordinary people wouldn’t attack him like this.
"It’s a long story. This ti, I’ve offended soone and have co to hide with you."
"Offended soone?" Wen Zhixing was surprised. "Who?"
"It’s soone from Wutong Peak." Zhang Tiancheng no longer concealed it.
"Wutong Peak? Is it Ning Shan?" Wen Zhixing frowned and asked, "Senior Brother, why on earth did you provoke her?"
"I don’t know if it was her or not." Zhang Tiancheng imdiately smiled bitterly.
The one who beat him wasn’t Ning Shan, but rather several disciples from Wutong Peak. The reason was obvious—it was because Zhang Tiancheng had tipped off Qiu Yinger that Wen Zhixing had been abducted by Ning Shan. Who had instructed them was unknown.
"Senior Brother, why are you looking at like that?" Wen Zhixing was puzzled. Don’t just look at ; tell why you were beaten!
"I..." Zhang Tiancheng found himself at a loss for words. Suddenly, he felt like these beatings he’d taken weren’t quite worth it.
"Forget it, Junior Brother. As long as I can hide here for a while, there’ll be no issues." Zhang Tiancheng didn’t feel like going into detail, as he felt he would be fishing for complints if he did.
Seeing that Zhang Tiancheng was unwilling to talk, Wen Zhixing didn’t push any further.
However, looking at his injuries, most were superficial. This indicated that Ning Shan still had so restraint and wasn’t really trying to kill Zhang Tiancheng.
"Senior Brother, I have so dicine here that will be good for your injuries."
As he spoke, Wen Zhixing took out a jade bottle from his bosom. Inside was the Earth Elent Pill given to him by Feng Ruoli. It was considered a pretty decent healing elixir. Treating Zhang Tiancheng’s superficial wounds was naturally a breeze.
"This is..." Zhang Tiancheng instinctively thought it was a Wonderous Soul-devouring Pill, but the bottle seed a bit different.
"Earth Elent Pill, for healing wounds." Wen Zhixing stuffed the entire bottle of elixir into Zhang Tiancheng’s hands, smiling. "I don’t need much, so it’s just right for you, Senior Brother."
"This... Earth Elent Pill..." Zhang Tiancheng’s hands were trembling as he held the jade bottle.
This was a revered healing elixir of the Wonderous Palace. Except for inner sect disciples, other disciples couldn’t even dream of getting their hands on it.
"Junior Brother, you’re... so thoughtful..." Zhang Tiancheng was genuinely touched this ti.
The Earth Elent Pill had no side effects and was quite valuable; most people who obtained such an elixir would hide it away and treasure it.
His beatings hadn’t been for nothing. Junior Brother Wen was still thinking of him.
"What are you talking about, Senior Brother? There’s no need for such words between us." Wen Zhixing dismissed it casually, saying, "Senior Brother, you should take the elixir and rest here with peace of mind; leave everything else to ."
"Okay." Zhang Tiancheng didn’t refuse, swallowing the elixir right away and began healing.
Wen Zhixing glanced at Zhang Tiancheng again; he looked even worse than when Wen Zhixing himself had beaten him up. His left hand must have been broken.
Is Zhang Tiancheng worth helping...? Before transmigrating, he had seen a TV show called "The Knockout," where the character Qiang turned enemies into friends just like this. His dispute with Zhang Tiancheng was actually minor and could be considered long resolved.
Let’s see... If Ning Shan cos here, she should give so face. Wen Zhixing touched the token in his bosom. It was given to him by Feng Ruoli. With this token, Ning Shan should show him so respect.
[A Fortune Fragnt has been found. Would you like to spend one month of your life-span for a random draw?]
Because he hadn’t drawn a Fortune Fragnt for a while, the prompt box started to shake again. Above Zhang Tiancheng’s head, another Fortune Fragnt appeared. Of course, it was still gray.
It seems he has been in contact with Mu Yunqing and has received so benefits.
Wen Zhixing hesitated slightly as he pondered whether to draw this Fortune Fragnt. He could draw the Grey Fragnt at any ti, so naturally, he wanted sothing better. However, he was also curious about what Zhang Tiancheng and Mu Yunqing had discussed. By using the fortune obtained through Zhang Tiancheng, he should be able to find out a thing or two.
"Let’s try drawing it first."
Eventually, Wen Zhixing decided to find out what the two were discussing behind the scenes.
[Grey Fortune Fragnt 1.]
[Grey Fortune Fragnt (1/1) collected. No need to combine. You may acquire one of the following fortunes:]
[1. Gain Constitution: Strong and Robust Body.]
[2. Gain 1 Fortune Point.]
[3. Acquire the fortune belonging to Zhang Tiancheng.]
Wen Zhixing didn’t hesitate and imdiately chose the third option.
The next mont, a series of images began to erge in his mind. Light and shadow rippled like green waves, as if a curtain were being drawn back. The light screen grew brighter, and the images beca clearer.
Before his eyes, the scene was as dark as the last ti. Deep into the night, silent as can be, with even the moon hidden away, leaving only specks of starlight. Two silhouettes seed to blend into the darkness, making it hard to see clearly.
"Zhang, since I asked you to keep an eye on Wen Zhixing, has there been any unusual activity from him recently?" Mu Yunqing’s voice slowly drifted out.
