Elder Nangong patiently waited in the inn for three days. From time to time, he would go out to see if there was any activity in Xiao Chen's room. He thought that if Heavenly Immortal Xiao or Hong Zhu came out, he could go over and ask around.
He did not expect that after three whole days, Heavenly Immortal Xiao and Hong Zhu actually did not come out even once. Elder Nangong almost suspected that the two of them had directly escaped through the window!
With great difficulty, it was finally the third day. Elder Nangong naturally woke up early in the morning. After stuffing some breakfast into his mouth, he immediately ran over to look for Xiao Chen to treat his injuries.
Hearing Nangong's knock, Hong Zhu's smile immediately froze on her face. She suspected that Gong Shaoxi and Elder Nangong were doing this on purpose. They always chose the most 'appropriate' time to look for Xiao Chen. They were clearly deliberately trying to anger her!
Xiao Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Hong Zhu's angry and hateful little face. He lightly patted her head, shook his head, and got up to put on his clothes.
"Xiao … Heavenly Immortal Xiao?" Elder Nangong called out tentatively. His heart began to beat like a drum. Could it be that the two of them had really escaped like I thought?!
"I'm up, I'm up! Aren't you annoying! Why are you knocking on my door so early in the morning?! "Hong Zhu impatiently jumped up from the bed and yelled at the door.
Elder Nangong trembled from the yell. However, when he knew that Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu had not left, he finally felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.
Hong Zhu finished putting on her clothes. When she saw that Xiao Chen was still cleaning up the medicinal dregs, she angrily went to open the door. Then, she fiercely glared at Elder Nangong outside and angrily said, "Didn't I tell you to wait for my notice? You don't know the rules at all. How preposterous, hmph! "
"This … I'm sorry, Miss Hong. I was indeed a little rash …" Elder Nangong could not raise his head after being scolded by Hong Zhu. He felt a little guilty and secretly blamed himself for being too impulsive and directly knocking on the door so early in the morning. He had offended Heavenly Immortal Xiao's dao companion. If he did not handle it well, Heavenly Immortal Xiao might not treat his injuries anymore!
"Alright, what are you still standing there foolishly for? Come in and get the medicine! " Xiao Chen finished packing the medicinal dregs into a small bag. When he raised his head and saw that Elder Nangong was still standing at the entrance, he spoke with a mixture of anger and amusement.
"Ah … Okay, okay!" Elder Nangong came back to his senses, hastily responded, and quickly walked into the room. In his haste, he nearly tripped over the doorsill, causing Hong Zhu to roll his eyes at him.
Xiao Chen put the bag of herbal dregs on the table, then he found some natural treasures from the Inner Wulin and put them in the bag as well. Then he put the bag in front of Elder Nangong and said lightly, "This is it. Take it back! According to the normal method of decocting the medicine, he should be able to recover after drinking it three to four times! "
Elder Nangong hesitated for a moment and did not immediately go to get the medicine. Instead, he carefully asked, "That … Exalted Immortal Xiao, may I ask, why … does it seem like there are some medicinal dregs in here?"
"Oh, this is where you don't understand. In my prescription, there are some medicinal ingredients that need to be decocted first before they can be used. There are also some ingredients that must be fresh." Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he fabricated a story, "If you don't believe me, you can go and ask Gong Ruitong. When I treated him, did I also use the same medicinal dregs? If it was normal, then why would it be unique! "
"No need, no need. Of course I believe in Exalted Immortal Xiao's divine healing skills!" Elder Nangong hurriedly waved his hand and flattered with a flattering smile.
"It's good that you believe me," Xiao Chen glanced at him and asked indifferently, "Do you have any other questions?"
"No, there's nothing else! Thank you, Exalted Immortal Xiao, for the medicine! " Elder Nangong hurriedly picked up the medicinal ingredients on the table and happily stuffed them into his clothes as if he had found a treasure.
Although he had never heard of the saying that medicinal ingredients needed to be decocted first before they would be effective, since Exalted Immortal Xiao had said so, he could only choose to believe him. Anyway, the result would not be any worse. At most, he could only make a desperate attempt!
After keeping the medicinal ingredients, Elder Nangong only wanted to go back and drink the medicine to heal his injuries. He respectfully said to Xiao Chen, "Exalted Immortal Xiao, if there's nothing else, then I'll first …"
"Don't be in a hurry to leave." Xiao Chen interrupted Elder Nangong's words and found a seat to sit down. He said slowly, "I still have something to ask you!"
Elder Nangong was stunned for a moment. He did not know what Xiao Chen was going to do, but he did not dare to turn around and leave. He could only obediently stand where he was and wait for Exalted Immortal Xiao's instructions.
Xiao Chen was in no hurry. He first picked up the cup of tea that Hong Zhu had just poured for him and drank it in one gulp. Then, he casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve and looked at Elder Nangong calmly. He said, "Previously at the Burning Sky Faction, when I asked you about the situation with the bandits, you seemed to have hidden some things?"
Elder Nangong's expression changed slightly. He thought that Xiao Chen did not notice this matter. He did not expect that it had already fallen into his eyes. He could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.
"When we were at the bandit headquarters, I did not wait for you to be honest." Xiao Chen did not look at Elder Nangong. He looked at the empty teacup in his hand and said in a seemingly casual manner, "Now that I have already given you the panacea to heal your injuries, shouldn't you explain the situation to me?"
"Of course, of course!" Elder Nangong smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head. He said, "Actually, it is not a big deal. There was a time when I went out to help the Profound Cloud Sect with a mission. In a moment of carelessness, I fell into the enemy's trap and was attacked by several people at the same time. As a result, I was seriously injured. I did not want to tell you at the time because I was worried that I would lose face if I told you about it, so …"
"And then?" Xiao Chen could not be bothered to listen to Elder Nangong's explanation. He only wanted to know the relationship between him and the bandits.
"Later on, my luck was not bad. After much difficulty, I found an opportunity to escape from their encirclement!" Elder Nangong explained in full detail. "However, I was already seriously injured at the time and my life was in danger. In the darkness, I entered an unfamiliar place. Fortunately, the owner of that place was an expert. Not only did he not blame me for trespassing, he even kindly saved my life."
"It seems that you are not fated to die. The expert who saved you is the young master of the bandits, right?" Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and asked. However, as soon as he asked, he remembered that the person who owed him a favor was called the big boss. It should be the father of the young master.
"No, he is the big boss of the bandits." Elder Nangong shook his head and added, "At that time, he gave me a kind of medicine, but I didn't expect it to have such an immediate effect. My injuries healed just like that, and I even successfully broke through to the Profound Ascension Stage!"
