Nie Li caught up with Wen Xinya. Earlier, he let Wen Xinya go first while he brought up the rear. In fact, his aura was locked onto by Kang Tao. If he dragged Wen Xinya, both of them would not be able to escape. Therefore, he let Wen Xinya go first while he took a blow, widened the distance, and escaped.
"Okay, here's enough." Wen Xinya stopped. After running all the way, her internal energy was almost exhausted. She leaned against a tree, supported her body, took off her veil, and calmed her breathing. "Wah!" Nie Li spat out a mouthful of blood.
Kang Tao's attack just now contained a hidden force. The heart directly transmitted from the blade to the arm, especially Kang Tao's internal energy. The gap between Nie Li's strength and his was too big. This internal energy rampaged in his body. If it was not for the guidance of the magic core, his meridians would have received a certain degree of damage.
After the internal energy surged in his body, he was already a little weak. Now that he was using his Qing Gong, Nie Li had been holding back that mouthful of blood. Fortunately, his physical body was amazing, and the magic core provided enough internal energy.
However, this mouthful of blood still made Nie Li's eyes turn black and his head dizzy. He almost fell down. Seeing the blood on the ground and the traces left on the corner of Nie Li's mouth, Wen Xinya supported Nie Li's body. "Are you okay?"
Nie Li fell into Wen Xinya's embrace. A delicate fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose. However, Nie Li was not in the mood to enjoy this. Although Wen Xinya was a little embarrassed, she still pretended that nothing had happened and shook Nie Li.
"Please take me back to the Forest Residence." Nie Li's weak voice sounded. His breathing was a little unstable. Wen Xinya placed Nie Li's left hand on her shoulder and used her internal energy to check Nie Li's meridians.
Her distrust and suspicion made Nie Li's injuries even worse. The two types of internal energy in his body were already entangled with each other. Now that another one was added into the mix, it made Nie Li's injuries even worse.
Wen Xinya's internal energy was directly forced back. She looked at Nie Li in shock. She did not expect Nie Li's injuries to be so serious. Furthermore, she seemed to have done something wrong. Nie Li could not hold back and spat out another mouthful of blood. He raised his head and looked at Wen Xinya. His eyes were a little dim.
Filled with guilt, Wen Xinya carried Nie Li and walked towards the Forest Residence. As it was late at night, the lights inside were still on, but there were not many people inside. Wen Xinya covered her face with a veil. It would not be good if she met the people from the Heavenly Sound Valley.
However, since it was Nie Li, she deliberately took off his black robe and mask, revealing his true appearance. When the waiter on night duty saw Nie Li, he didn't pay much attention to the two of them. Wenxin successfully brought Nie Li back to the room.
After placing Nie Li on the bed, Wen Xinya helped him sit up and prepared to circulate her energy to help Nie Li force the hidden energy out of his body.
"Can I trouble you to bring that leather bag over?" Nie Li tried his best to lift his eyelids and pointed to the bundle in the corner. Wenxin opened the bundle. Other than some silver and clothes, there was only a bamboo flute and a beast skin bag.
He shook it, and a crashing sound was heard. What was inside? Wen Xinya was also a little curious, but Nie Li's injuries were imminent. She hurriedly stood up and passed the leather bag to Nie Li. However, Nie Li took a long time to receive it. Wen Xinya looked at Nie Li's motionless figure in confusion.
Only then did she remember that Nie Li's arm couldn't be lifted because of the hidden energy. 'Pop', Wen Xinya pulled out the cork and supported Nie Li with one hand. She then slowly brought the leather bag to Nie Li's mouth and poured out the spiritual liquid inside.
Nie Li swallowed it in big mouthfuls, like a hungry person seeing a delicacy. Some liquid flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Wen Xinya looked at the milky white liquid and really didn't know what it was that made Nie Li value it so much.
The entire bag of spiritual liquid was quickly emptied. Nie Li used his hand to push the leather bag and said a word of thanks. His tone was also a little angry. Furthermore, he was able to lift his arm, which made Wen Xinya even more curious about the spiritual liquid inside the leather bag.
After speaking, Nie Li sat down cross-legged and circulated his internal energy. Strands of black aura spread out from his lower abdomen and wrapped around Nie Li, like a black cocoon. Wen Xinya was even more curious about Nie Li. Such a strange elixir and such a mysterious cultivation technique. These things were unknown to her.
This was what Wen Xinya was most curious about. As an assassin, she had a lot of knowledge and information. However, she had never seen any description of the spiritual liquid and such a cultivation technique in Nie Li's leather bag.
Seeing that Nie Li's injuries were starting to improve, Wen Xinya was relieved. However, she was now covered in the smell of blood and couldn't return to her room. It would definitely attract the attention of others. However, if she didn't return, where would she stay at night?
Looking at Nie Li's room, Wen Xinya gritted her teeth and sat cross-legged on the chair. She also began to circulate her internal energy to recover. Since Nie Li's injuries were heavy and his consciousness was scattered, he wouldn't wake up for a while. If she left early tomorrow, she wouldn't attract any attention.
However, thinking of being in the same room with Nie Li, Wen Xinya couldn't calm down and cultivate properly. The restless Wen Xinya could only choose to lie on the table and sleep.
The spiritual liquid and the Inverse Remnant Demon Art allowed Nie Li's injuries to heal very quickly. In the middle of the night, Nie Li had already opened his eyes and moved his body. His injuries had already healed by more than half.
At this moment, if Wen Xinya were awake, she would definitely be surprised. A person who was half-dead just a few hours ago was already so lively.
Looking at Wenxin, who was sleeping on the table, and the scattered parcels on the floor, Nie Li tidied up the parcels on the floor, took out a robe, and draped it over Wenxin.
Because Nie Li's movements were relatively light, Wen Xinya didn't wake up. After putting on the robe, Nie Li heaved a sigh of relief. He had held his breath just now. After doing all this, Nie Li left.
Being in the same room with Wen Xinya was an insult to her reputation. Nie Li quietly opened the window and slipped away. After he left, Wen Xinya opened her eyes. Actually, she had already woken up, but she didn't know how to face Nie Li, so she didn't open her eyes.
As an assassin, even when she was sleeping, she maintained a high level of vigilance. Therefore, Nie Li's movements just now might have been very careful, but to her, it was still too noisy.
Looking at the lonely house, it was so quiet that she could only hear her own breathing. The weak wind outside would also disturb her breathing, echoing in the silent house.
Wen Xinya listened to her own breathing and grabbed Nie Li's robe tightly with both hands. Her fingertips turned white and she frowned as she slowly fell asleep. Even when she fell asleep, her hands did not loosen and her brows did not relax.
The next day, someone knocked on the door, waking Wen Xinya up. Seeing that the window was still open and Nie Li had not returned, she stood up and grabbed the clothes that had slipped off her shoulders. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door.
"Young Master Nie, you've come." Qin Xiaoyou was standing outside the door. After Wen Xinya left yesterday, she never returned. Qin Xiaoyou had been worried the entire night. She remembered that Nie Li had looked for Senior Sister Wen yesterday afternoon, so she came to try her luck. She didn't expect to see this scene before her. Furthermore, her Senior Sister was wearing Nie Li's clothes.
"Junior Sister Qin, why are you here?" In Wen Xinya's eyes, Qin Xiaoyou must have come to look for Nie Li for something. She didn't expect Qin Xiaoyou to know Nie Li as well. She looked at Qin Xiaoyou with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I came to look for Young Master Nie to ask about Senior Sister's whereabouts. Now that I've found her, I'll go back first." Qin Xiaoyou had never seen such a senior sister before and her tone was a little timid.
"Stop right there." Wen Xinya shouted. If Junior Sister Qin went back and told Uncle-Master about this, she would definitely suffer. However, Wen Xinya quickly realized that there was something wrong with her tone.
"Junior Sister Qin, don't misunderstand." Wen Xinya could only explain with a pale face. She had appeared in a man's room and was even wearing his clothes. How could people not misunderstand?
"There's no misunderstanding. Senior Sister, don't worry. I won't tell Uncle-Master." Qin Xiaoyou widened her big round eyes and looked at Wen Xinya pitifully. At this moment, the gentle tone of her senior sister made her even more afraid.
"Come in. Nie Li isn't around. I was worried that I would disturb you guys yesterday, so I didn't go back." Wen Xinya opened the door. After hearing this, Qin Xiaoyou leaned half of her body in and realized that the blanket on the bed was very neat. It seemed that Nie Li wasn't around. Otherwise, Senior Sister wouldn't have opened the door.
"Senior Sister, I misunderstood." Qin Xiaoyou hurriedly apologized. She didn't ask any more questions. Qin Xiaoyou was still confident about what should be said and what shouldn't be said.
"Okay, Junior Sister, wait for me. I'll help him clean up the room." Wen Xinya closed the door and asked Qin Xiaoyou to wait for her outside. She folded Nie Li's clothes neatly and placed them on the table.
Then, she took off her night clothes and stuffed them behind the bookshelf in Nie Li's room. She hid the short sword on the table on her body. After everything was ready, Wen Xinya opened the door and went back with Qin Xiaoyou. She believed that Qin Xiaoyou wouldn't say anything. She usually treated this junior sister pretty well. She knew what kind of character she had. She wouldn't say anything.
"Aiyo, Young Master Nie is really lucky to have such a beauty accompanying him." The two of them walked a few steps when a strange voice came from behind them. Wen Xinya and Qin Xiaoyou turned around and saw a man in white. Qin Xiaoyou didn't know this person, but Wen Xinya did.
"Heng Shan Sect's disciple, Young Hero Chen Jiang. What can I do for you?" Wen Xinya's tone turned cold. She wouldn't show any mercy to this kind of person. If the other party dared to say another word, she would kill him with her sword.
Seeing Wen Xinya's cold eyes and surging killing intent, Chen Jiang smelled the scent of danger and swallowed his saliva. "Nothing, I'm just here to advise the two of you."
"Stay away from Nie Li. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to die with him that day?" Chen Jiang also released his aura. His sharp aura was evenly matched with Wen Xinya's.
Wen Xinya took a deep look at him. In terms of strength, this Chen Jiang wasn't like what the rumors said. He definitely had a trump card.
Furthermore, from his words, it seemed that he had a grudge with Nie Li. He really knew how to cause trouble. Heng Shan Sect, Iron Chain Gang, Righteous Gathering Manor, and Zhao Chuan. Any one of them wasn't a small character, but he provoked them all at once.
"Don't worry, I don't care about his life." Wen Xinya casually said and left with Qin Xiaoyou.
Chen Jiang looked at the backs of the two of them as they left. The corner of his mouth curled into a strange smile. "Not bad, not bad." He said an inexplicable sentence.
