When Pei Guangbin heard Su Ye tell Lu Xuan the purpose of their visit, he snorted softly and did not say anything else. It was just as Su Ye had said, there was nothing to hide. He just did not want the young mistress to have too much contact with this fellow. After all, one could know a person for a long time without knowing their true nature. Moreover, they still did not know where Lu Xuan came from.
"I see." Lu Xuan nodded lightly, "If there's anything I can do for you, Miss Su, just let me know."
"You're already doing him a favor by recuperating. Look at you now. How can you be of any help?" Pei Guangbin rolled his eyes and said. His hands and feet were not nimble, and he still wanted to help?
Lu Xuan could not help but smile awkwardly. His current appearance was indeed unconvincing. However, Pei Guangbin was right about one thing. He had to recuperate as soon as possible. No matter what he wanted to do, it would not be convenient without his strength.
Immediately, Lu Xuan did not say anything else. He closed his eyes and rested on the horse's back. He circulated the Taiyi Fusion Skill with all his might to recover his injuries as soon as possible.
Following that, nothing happened to Lu Xuan. Su Ye's team did encounter some Demonic Beasts. However, the most powerful one was only at the Ninth Tier. With Pei Guangbin, who was at the Tenth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm, there was naturally no danger. However, Su Ye was not satisfied. She wanted to kill a Demonic King. Only then would she be able to obtain some good medicinal ingredients. Unfortunately, her wish was not fulfilled.
However, this was not necessarily a bad thing. In their team, the strongest one, Pei Guangbin, was only at the Tenth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Although they did have the strength to kill some low-level Demonic Kings, if they encountered a powerful Demonic King, it was hard to say who would be the one to kill.
Just like that, three days passed. Although Lu Xuan's injuries were not completely healed, they had recovered a portion. At least, he did not need to lie on the horse's back anymore. Ever since he could use his limbs, Lu Xuan began to walk. Su Ye even asked Pei Guangbin to find a branch for Lu Xuan to use as a walking stick. Lu Xuan was too embarrassed to refuse. However, it felt a little weird to walk with a walking stick.
On the fourth day, at noon, the group found a place to stop and rest. After lunch, they gathered together to discuss.
"Miss, it's already the fourth day. I think we should go back. It's not long before the Hall Master's birthday banquet. If we go back any later, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it," Pei Guangbin suggested.
However, Su Ye shook her head slowly and said, "Don't worry about that. We still have enough time. Although we found some medicinal herbs, they are not too rare. How can I give them to my grandfather as a birthday gift?"
Pei Guangbin, of course, knew that they had enough time. The reason why he said that was because he was worried about their safety. They had already entered the central region of the Wounded Kylin Forest. If they went further in, they would indeed be able to find some Demonic Kings. However, the danger would also be greatly increased.
Along the way, they did encounter some Demonic King Realm existences. It was just that they sensed that their opponent's aura was a little strong. They were probably above the Third Tier of the Demon King Realm. Hence, they decided to take a detour. Their best target was the First Tier of the Demon King Realm.
Pei Guangbin tried to persuade her again, "Miss, you don't have to worry. The Hall Master dotes on you very much. To him, the fact that you are able to give him the medicinal herbs as a gift is already something to be happy about. Why would he care about the preciousness of the medicinal herbs?"
Su Ye was also an exceptionally intelligent woman. She naturally knew that Pei Guangbin was worried about their safety. If an accident happened, the brothers of the guards would definitely protect her and retreat safely. However, they might also encounter a mishap. With her kind heart, she certainly did not want to see that happen.
After a slight hesitation, she said, "If that's the case, let's search around here for one last day. If we still can't find anything, we'll set off on our way back."
Hearing Su Ye's words, Pei Guangbin let out a long sigh of relief. He nodded in agreement. If they were just around here, there shouldn't be any danger.
He immediately turned to the group of guards and shouted, "Brothers, take a good rest. Later, be alert. We'll set off in an hour."
"Yes, Captain." The group of guards responded one after another. Soon after, they returned to their respective tents to rest.
Seeing that they had all gone to rest, Lu Xuan did not think much of it. At this moment, he was still in high spirits. Firstly, he was stronger than the rest of them. Secondly, he did not have to do anything along the way and enjoyed the same treatment as Su Ye. After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan leaned on his walking stick and walked to the side. His footsteps were a little weak. He wanted to act as a lookout for the others and prevent any Demonic Beasts from attacking.
"Young Master Lu, it's been hard on you these past few days. You were injured and should have rested more. Instead, you followed us around." Su Ye quietly walked to Lu Xuan's side and apologized.
Lu Xuan hurriedly waved his hands, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Young Miss Su is willing to take in an unknown person like me and treat me with sincerity. Lu Xuan is already extremely grateful. Otherwise, I wouldn't know where to go if I didn't know anything. Now, at least I have a place to stay."
Hearing this, Su Ye smiled faintly. These past few days, she had interacted with Lu Xuan frequently. She treated Lu Xuan as a patient. Usually, people who lost their memories would easily suffer from autism. Talking to them more often would help prevent such a situation from happening. However, Lu Xuan was very polite and had an extraordinary way of speaking. This caused Su Ye to look at him in a new light. This was very different from ordinary cultivators. In her opinion, Lu Xuan was definitely not an ordinary person in the past.
"When we leave the Wounded Unicorn Forest, if Young Master Lu doesn't know where to go, why not follow this young lady back to the Hundred Herb Hall? Our Hundred Herb Hall specializes in treating illnesses and saving lives. Here, Young Master Lu should be able to recover his memories faster." Su Ye suggested. She was purely acting as a doctor and didn't have any other thoughts. These past few days, she had asked Pei Guangbin about Lu Xuan's strength. But according to Pei Guangbin, he couldn't see through Lu Xuan's strength. Thus, there were only two possibilities. One was that Lu Xuan had reached the Origin Realm. The other was that Lu Xuan was injured and his strength was greatly reduced, causing him to be unable to see through Lu Xuan.
But Pei Guangbin was more inclined towards the latter. After all, looking at Lu Xuan's age, he wasn't even 20 years old. Although there were Origin Realm experts at such a young age, they were all prodigies of the heavens. He didn't believe that Lu Xuan was such a character.
Su Ye obviously believed in Pei Guangbin's judgment. Although she was a cultivator, her forte was still in the field of elixirs. Her current strength was barely at the sixth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm. With her status in the Hundred Herb Hall, the strength of the sixth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm wasn't considered high.
"If Young Lady Su doesn't mind, then I will have to trouble you." Lu Xuan cupped his hands and said to Su Ye. He had the same thought. Since he didn't have anywhere else to go, it wouldn't be a bad idea to follow Su Ye to the Hundred Herb Hall. But because Pei Guangbin's attitude wasn't too friendly, Lu Xuan didn't mention it. He didn't expect Su Ye to bring it up herself.
"It's just a small matter." Su Ye laughed lightly.
Right at this moment, Lu Xuan's brows suddenly twitched and he quickly said, "There's movement!"
"En?" Su Ye looked at Lu Xuan with a puzzled expression. She didn't sense any movement at all.
However, Lu Xuan did not answer her question. Instead, he closed his eyes and released all of his Divine Sense, which instantly spread out in all directions. Lu Xuan was far more powerful than Su Ye, and his Soul Strength was even more powerful. He had also unlocked many acupoints, so his senses had always been more sensitive than most warriors.
"Someone is rushing over here at high speed. From the looks of it, the person isn't weak. Hurry up and inform Team Leader Pei." Lu Xuan opened his eyes and shouted.
"This …" Su Ye was slightly hesitant. She had just asked everyone to rest. Was she going to wake them up just because Lu Xuan said there was movement?
However, there was no need for her to call for Su Ye. While she was hesitating, Pei Guangbin rushed out of the tent. He shouted at Su Ye, "Young Miss, find a place to hide. I think I can sense a Demonic Beast approaching."
Pei Guangbin was an expert at the peak of the Spirit Refinement Realm after all. His senses weren't weak. However, he only felt some movement and subconsciously thought that it was an attack from a Demonic Beast.
Since Pei Guangbin had already sensed it, Lu Xuan didn't say anything else. He just quietly waited for the situation to develop. The speed at which those people were rushing over was very fast. They would probably arrive here soon. However, he didn't know whether they were friends or foes. Thinking about it, the former was more likely.
Lu Xuan thought to himself. I'm afraid that things won't be so peaceful after this.
At this moment, Pei Guangbin had already called out all the guards and they were in full defensive formation. As for Su Ye, Pei Guangbin brought her to a hidden spot behind a few tents. She was safe there.
"Young Master Lu, you should come over as well. It's just a Demonic Beast. Leave it to Big Brother Pei and the others to deal with it." Su Ye called out to Lu Xuan. For a moment, she had forgotten how Lu Xuan could sense that something was wrong faster than Pei Guangbin. She also forgot that Lu Xuan wasn't talking about a Demonic Beast, but a human.
Seeing that Su Ye had also called out to Lu Xuan, Pei Guangbin couldn't help but glance at Lu Xuan. However, Lu Xuan had been behaving well for the past few days. He was well-behaved and didn't cause any trouble. This made Pei Guangbin feel less vigilant towards him. Moreover, he didn't have the time to bother with Lu Xuan anymore. So, he just let him be.
"Sou, sou, sou!"
Several air-piercing sounds could be heard as a few figures flew over from the sky. When he saw that they weren't Demonic Beasts, but humans, Pei Guangbin's expression couldn't help but change. This kind of entrance didn't seem too friendly …
However, it wasn't just these few people that arrived. Following closely behind, a few more people flew over slightly slower. After taking a closer look, there were actually eight or nine people. Of course, this wasn't the main point. The main point was that Lu Xuan suddenly realized that among the few people that rushed over, there were actually two Origin Realm existences!
