At first, the cooperation among Gu Qingqing and the other three was not very seamless, and their speed was relatively slow. After resolving the situation two or three tis, their cooperation improved, and their speed in dealing with the Iron Armor Bull increased significantly.
After more than half an hour, they finally killed off the entire herd of Iron Armor Bulls, leaving the four of them exhausted and collapsed on the ground.
"Whew, finally resolved it; I’m exhausted to death," Feng Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said wearily.
"It’s the first ti a fight has tired out this much; I feel like I can’t even lift my arms," Gu Qingqing took the handkerchief Rong Ye offered and wiped the sweat off her forehead, feeling the soreness in her body and smiling bitterly.
"Geng Geng, are you okay?" Despite his pale face, Rong Ye still showed concern for Gu Qingqing, watching her worriedly.
"I’m fine. How about you, Fifth Brother?" Gu Qingqing turned to look at Rong Ye, quickly scanning his body and noticing a dark patch on his waist. Her gaze paused, "Are you injured?"
Rong Ye was startled, following Gu Qingqing’s gaze to his waist and indeed finding a wound. His brows furrowed, but he feigned nonchalance to prevent Gu Qingqing from worrying. "It’s nothing serious, just a minor injury, you don’t need to worry."
"Let see," Gu Qingqing, knowing Rong Ye well, glared at him, stood up, and moved to his side. She knelt to examine the wound and found it wasn’t very deep and had almost stopped bleeding, which relieved her.
"See, I told you it was nothing. You don’t need to worry," Rong Ye also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile to Gu Qingqing.
"Even a minor injury needs attention. I’ll apply so ointnt for you," Gu Qingqing rolled her eyes at him, ignoring his words. She took out a dicine bottle and sprinkled Mu Chen’s special dicine on the wound. Once she confird that it wasn’t bleeding anymore, she looked up, "Brother, you shouldn’t exert yourself in the next two days; otherwise, the wound might reopen, which would be troubleso."
"I don’t..." Rong Ye started to refuse, but seeing Gu Qingqing’s eyes widen as she looked at him, he swallowed his words and smiled apologetically, "I understand, I’ll be careful."
Gu Qingqing nodded in satisfaction. With this little interruption, she regained so strength and turned to look at Feng Yang and Zhang Mu. Seeing that, although disheveled, they were uninjured, she said nothing more, considering she wasn’t familiar with them.
By this ti, Feng Yang and Zhang Mu had also recovered, standing up from the ground, tidying themselves up, and then approaching Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye. They placed their hands on their chests and solemnly bowed to the two.
"Thank you, Brother and Sister, for your help. The saving grace will be rembered forever. In the future, I, Feng Yang, am at your service with no complaints," Feng Yang said solemnly to Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye.
"And I, Zhang Mu, as well. In the future, if you need anything, just instruct !" Zhang Mu glanced at Feng Yang and followed suit.
Their words were sincere; had they not encountered Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye, they would have been chased to exhaustion by the Iron Armor Bulls and killed. Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye’s help genuinely saved their lives!
Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye were sowhat surprised to see this, exchanging a glance before letting Rong Ye speak.
"No need for such words, dear brothers. We killed the Iron Armor Bulls not solely for you but also for ourselves, so there’s no need to keep it in mind," Rong Ye dismissed any notion of a significant deed, as they were also being chased by the Iron Armor Bulls at the ti. Killing them benefited them as well, not just for saving Zhang Mu and Feng Yang.
"You’re jesting, brother. At the ti, the Iron Armor Bulls were primarily chasing us. If not for us dragging you into it, you wouldn’t have been pursued. Later, with your cultivation, you could have just left, and the Bulls might have done nothing, yet you helped us kill them. I, Feng Yang, will never forget your great kindness. Let follow you two," Feng Yang insisted earnestly, shaking his head at Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye.
He felt compelled to repay this life-saving debt, not just because Cultivators highly value karma, but also because he valued Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye. They appeared to be extraordinary individuals. Though Feng Yang’s talents weren’t top-notch, he was perceptive enough; in the Langya Immortal Sect, he wasn’t highly regarded. Following Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye might open new opportunities for him.
"Exactly, let us follow you," Zhang Mu added after Feng Yang, sharing the sa thoughts.
In the Bihai Heavenly Palace, his position was lesser than Feng Yang’s in the Langya Immortal Sect, where the competition was fierce and ruthless. If he could follow Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye, his circumstances might change. Even if they didn’t, the life-saving debt needed to be repaid!
Seeing the two so insistent, Rong Ye and Gu Qingqing were at a loss for words and ended up staying silent.
Thus, Feng Yang and Zhang Mu began following Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye. Upon learning they intended to find Purple Cloud Flying Grass, Zhang Mu hesitated before speaking up.
"When I was teleported into the Secret Realm, I ended up in a valley where I saw Purple Cloud Flying Grass. However, besides the grass, there was also a Middle Stage Green-eyed Fire Cloud Beast. Afraid of provoking it, I took a quick glance from afar and fled," Zhang Mu recalled the danger. He wasn’t a match for the Green-eyed Fire Cloud Beast, so after identifying it, he quickly turned and ran.
"Really?" Gu Qingqing was pleasantly surprised. "Do you rember where that place is?" she quickly inquired.
Finding Purple Cloud Flying Flowers was indeed difficult. Gu Qingqing had initially intended to continue searching with Rong Ye, but discovering that Zhang Mu had encountered so was the best outco. As for the True Immortal Middle Stage Green-eyed Fire Cloud Beast, she believed she could handle it!
"Yes, I rember that place quite well and can take you there, but..." Zhang Mu hesitated.
"But what?" Rong Ye asked, frowning.
"The Green-eyed Fire Cloud Beast is there, making it difficult to pick the Purple Cloud Flying Flowers," Zhang Mu quickly added, fearing Rong Ye’s displeasure and subtly hoping to dissuade Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye from going there.
"It’s fine. No matter how powerful, the Green-eyed Fire Cloud Beast is only at the True Immortal Middle Stage. Just lead us there," Gu Qingqing waved her hand dismissively.
Zhang Mu looked at Rong Ye and found that Rong Ye didn’t stop her—he tacitly agreed to Gu Qingqing’s words. Considering their noble status, they surely had so ans to deal with the Green-eyed Fire Cloud Beast, so he didn’t persuade further and nodded in agreent.
