Chapter 271: Chapter 69 Chen Lingyun Went in as Well
[Yi De Fu Ren]: You’ve recently been to Nanjiang?
[Yuegua Donghu]: Yes, the border seems unstable, so the higher-ups sent us there to stand by.
[Yi De Fu Ren]: How’s your health?
[Yuegua Donghu]: Much better. Thanks to the increase in my spiritual energy limit, the frequency of my coughs has reduced after my cultivation level went up.
[Yi De Fu Ren]: So cultivation is the best dicine after all. Less fighting, more cultivation.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Speaking of fighting, I heard you defeated an Onmyoji at Black Dragon Isle, and were even honored at Lingyan Pavilion later?
[Yi De Fu Ren]: How did you know that?
[Yuegua Donghu]: Heard it from others, “Longcheng Flying General,” unique in all of Lu Country. They said your award ceremony video will be used as an October tribute and will be heavily promoted on TV.
[Yi De Fu Ren]: Sigh, it’s just a false reputation, aningless.
Yan Yu wasn’t trying to be pretentious here; he truly felt this way—in his past life, he also received nurous dals, all tossed into a small cardboard box, hardly ever bothering to take them out.
Why consider it a false reputation? Because he was well aware that the title of Longcheng Flying General was actually secured for him by Chen Tianming, partly to woo him and partly to build montum for him.
The truly prestigious title is that of “Valkyrie”! After her sacrifice, without any official awards, she was spontaneously rembered and mourned by the people of the seven provinces in the south, even having temples erected and morial tablets worshipped—truly recognized by the heartfelt respect of thousands, a title worth being proud of and rembered!
[Yuegua Donghu]: But it sounds pretty impressive, right?
[Yi De Fu Ren]: What, you want a dal too?
[Yi De Fu Ren]: [Photo].
[Yuegua Donghu]: It looks pretty good~
[Yuegua Donghu]: If I get a chance, I’d like to earn one too. But that would require distinguishing oneself on the battlefield, right?
[Yuegua Donghu]: Just to see if there’s a chance this ti/cheer up.
[Yi De Fu Ren]: Still, safety first.
[Yi De Fu Ren]: If you can’t handle it, co find , and I’ll help you.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Wouldn’t that be against the rules?
[Yi De Fu Ren]: What are you thinking? Of course, not by deploying the Zhenhai Team. It’s just that Longcheng Flying General Yan Yu happened to pass by and saw that Li Minghu of the Qing’an Team was in trouble, so he went over to give a hand.
[Yuegua Donghu]: That sounds reasonable. But you being in Jinling Prefecture and just happening to pass by Nanjiang sounds a bit hard to explain, doesn’t it?
[Yi De Fu Ren]: No problem, I usually enjoy sword flight, admiring the great rivers and mountains of our country. Just yesterday, I even went to the Western Regions Province.
[Yuegua Donghu]: You went to the Western Regions? Is the mutton and beef there good?
The two chatted for nearly half an hour. Obviously, Li Minghu was quite bored on the other side, called to stand by in Nanjiang Province without any battles to fight. It could be said that the Annan Army was probably watching the Dingbei Army run themselves ragged on the border and consequently took the matter of the Southeast Asian Witch King very seriously, preferring to prepare in advance, overacting rather than being caught off guard and scrambling at the last minute.
Of the four armies, it was actually the Zhendong Army that had it the easiest. Although they faced the strongest spiritual power among the surrounding forces—the Onmyoji—they were still separated by sea, without a long land border to worry about, and were not afraid of sporadic invasions; just going out for a few big battles each year was enough.
The Zhendong Army, comfortable!
After chatting with Li Minghu, Yan Yu turned to chat with Anna, who seed to have been promoted again recently in the coven circle. She appeared quite pleased with herself, sotis jokingly telling Yan Yu that she “would snatch people from the south,” seemingly getting a bit carried away.
After speaking with Anna, Yan Yu went to check on Zhou Hongyu to see if she was getting better.
The hot-tempered Xiao Zhou finally removed her oxygen mask and, sitting on the hospital bed in her patient gown, faced Yan Yu with a cold expression and remained silent.
After confirming once again that her brain was not injured, Yan Yu reluctantly ended the video call.
She should be fine now, right?
As he was thinking this, he suddenly received a call from Lin Ning.
“Yan Yu!” Her voice sounded anxious, “Ling Yun’s been shot!”
“Is she dead?” Yan Yu was also taken aback.
“No, she’s being rescued.” Lin Ning’s voice was a bit tearful, and then Yan Yu gave an “oh” and turned to comfort her:
“No worries, if he’s being resuscitated, then he’s definitely not going to die.”
Cultivators have this advantage: using Runescript for surgery and wound cleaning to stop bleeding is super convenient, with the treatnt penetrating directly beneath the skin without any risk of infection spreading.
“Where are you guys, I’m coming over now,” Yan Yu said as he stood up.
Lin Ning reported the address, and Yan Yu ssaged Xie Ruoxi, telling her to quickly arrange for her elder brother to co over. Then he launched into Sword Flight, swiftly heading in the direction of Jiujiang.
Shot…
Are you trying to make die of laughter? Where was your Barrier Charm?
It must have been an ambush by soone in hiding; with Chen Lingyun’s speed, there was no way she could have reacted in ti… Tsk, the first ti I let you lead a team on your own, and you’ve brought us sha!
The sword light descended near the hospital, and he went upstairs to reach the inpatient ward where he saw Chen Lingyun sitting on the bed, chatting with Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen who were keeping her company.
Her complexion was slightly pale, possessing a delicate and fragile beauty. Yan Yu scanned her with his Divine Sense and discovered that her wound was in the abdon, nothing serious.
“Heard soone got shot?” Yan Yu walked into the ward and asked, “Did it hit your head?”
Chen Lingyun looked over and smiled faintly:
“Sorry to worry you.”
“It’s fine,” Yan Yu turned to look at Lin Ning, “What exactly happened, tell ?”
Lin Ning sighed, explaining the details of the situation. It wasn’t complicated and could be summarized in one sentence:
Two cultivators from the military manor had defected. The Zhendong Army urgently pursued those two cultivators, cornering them into the deep woods. Chen Lingyun’s team was in charge of the search and ended up being shot in an ambush.
Yan Yu: ………
“Although it’s not quite appropriate,” he said quietly as he took out his phone, “I think I should call Zhou Hongyu to have a chat with you two wounded, share so experiences…”
“If you know it’s inappropriate, don’t start fanning the flas!” Lin Ning imdiately snatched his phone away, venting her frustration.
“What about those two cultivators?” Yan Yu continued.
“Haven’t caught them yet,” Zhao Yuanzhen said with a sullen tone. “Lingyun got shot, and we couldn’t worry about anything else. We had to rush her back for treatnt.”
“Alright,” Yan Yu expressed his understanding of the situation, “Let Lingyun stay here to recover. I’ll have Xie Ruoxi take over the mission.”
“What happened to Lingyun?” Xie Ruoxi ca in through the door, holding a fruit basket in her hands.
“You’ve arrived just in ti,” Yan Yu quickly called her over, “There’s a mission I need to hand over to you now.”
After listening to Lin Ning repeat the briefing, Xie Ruoxi turned completely pale, hurriedly waving her hands and shaking her head:
“I can’t do it! They have guns!”
“Don’t you have the Earth-Elent Sturdiness Curse?” Yan Yu reminded her with a sidelong glance, “With the Barrier Charm up, bullets can’t get through.”
“But I can’t keep the Barrier Charm up all the ti, can I?” Lin Ning asked, doubtful, “True Yuan won’t hold up for that.”
“Just because you can’t do it doesn’t an she can’t, okay?” Yan Yu picked up a cup nearby and poured hot water, “This cup goes on the bedside table, wait for Xie Ruoxi to co back from handling it, then drink.”
“Let’s go!”
Pushing Xie Ruoxi out of the ward, the good-for-nothing was still muttering sothing about “I can’t do this” and “you pushing like this is sending to die.” Yan Yu couldn’t stand it anymore and cut her off:
“I see you really don’t get it!”
“Huh?”
“You utilize Sword Flight the whole ti while searching, don’t stop,” Yan Yu instructed her, “Bullets can’t penetrate sword light. Once you spot them, hit each one with Thunder thod, and it’s over. It’s foolproof, okay?!”
Xie Ruoxi: ………
“Don’t lie to !” she said suspiciously, “Are you sure there’s no risk?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Yan Yu said, puzzled, “Look, if you’re really not at ease, I’ll go with you, will that do?”
“Then you must co with !” Xie Ruoxi quickly clung to his arm, fearing he might change his mind and escape.
