"How … How is this possible?"
Lin Yuxi stood rooted to the ground, her mind greatly shaken.
The unkempt man with a pair of hollow eyes and messy hair was Xu Que. He looked as if he had lost his soul and was like a walking corpse.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
A few guards were still punching and kicking him, but he was curled up into a ball and taking the beating. Was this still Xu Que?
"No, stop! All of you, stop! "
Lin Yuxi finally regained her senses. She did not have time to think and rushed out of the door.
She knew that this person was Xu Que. She was more certain than anyone else because she was too familiar with Xu Que's appearance and Xu Que's eyes.
Even if this pair of eyes was hollow and lifeless now, she would never forget the cynical and mischievous aura hidden deep in his eyes when she first saw this pair of eyes!
Therefore, regardless of whether Xu Que was in glory or in dire straits, she was very sure that this person was Xu Que!
"Stop!"
Lin Yuxi shouted and pushed a guard away. She threw herself at Xu Que without hesitation, trying to block the punches and kicks for him.
The guards were stunned when they saw Lin Yuxi's action. They stopped what they were doing and looked at the fop.
The fop looked at Lin Yuxi and his eyes lit up. He said in surprise, "What a beautiful lady!"
With that, a smile appeared on his face as he slowly walked over. He looked down at Lin Yuxi and said with a smile, "Miss, what's wrong? Could it be that you know this fool?"
"He's not a fool!" Lin Yuxi opened her eyes wide and looked straight at the playboy.
"Heh! Not a fool? If that's the case, then you're also a fool! " He pointed at Xu Que and said to Lin Yuxi, "Of course, whether you are idiots or not, it has nothing to do with me. All I know is that he ate my pills. If you can help him compensate me, I naturally won't bother with a fool. If you can't, then even if I beat him to death, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Okay, I'll compensate for him!" Lin Yuxi didn't hesitate at all and directly agreed.
"You? Haha, I was just speaking casually. How could a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like you afford a second-grade Soul Restoring Pill? "The Young Master was so angry that he laughed.
Although Lin Yuxi was stunning and beautiful, in this world, beauty was useless. At most, she could only be regarded as a plaything. However, the Mind Reduction Pill was an opportunity for the Childe to get a place in the Seven Stars Academy. There was no comparison between the two.
"What if it's the Seven Stars Order?" Lin Yuxi asked coldly.
Seven Star Order?
Childe Ge and the crowd were stunned.
Could it be that this woman had the Seven Stars Order?
How could that be possible?
The value of the Seven Stars Order was far beyond that of a Mind Reduction Pill. It was the proof that one could directly enter the Seven Stars Academy!
Moreover, how could the Seven Stars Order be owned by a young female cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage? Moreover, she had to use it to save such a fool with no cultivation?
"Heh, heh, young lady, your joke is not funny at all!" At this time, the Childe shook his head and laughed. He said coldly, "I'll give you a chance. Get lost in three breaths, or I'll beat you to death too!"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Lin Yuxi patted her storage bag and took out a token from it. She held it in her hand.
At first, the Childe and the others thought that Lin Yuxi wanted to resist, but when they saw the token, their faces instantly changed.
"Seven Stars Order?" Everyone exclaimed in disbelief.
This token turned out to be the genuine Seven Stars Order!
"I'll give you the Seven Stars Order, and you let him go. We don't owe each other anything." At this time, Lin Yuxi gritted her teeth and threw the Seven Stars Order to the Childe Ge.
She knew the value of the Seven Stars Order, and she even knew that this Seven Stars Order represented her future.
This time, she threw away her future.
But so what?
As long as she could save Xu Que, she would not hesitate.
Back then, she had already missed it once.
Now, she would not make the same mistake again. What she was doing was not to make up for it, but to recover everything that she had missed and lost.
"This …" The Childe Ge looked at the token in his hand, and he was stunned. He was speechless.
Such a precious token, which even made tens of thousands of cultivators fight to get into the Seven Stars Academy, was in his hands. It was like a dream.
But the key was that this token was actually from the hands of a female cultivator in the Original Infant Stage, and she used this token to exchange for the life of a fool. This was more ridiculous than a dream!
At the same time, Lin Yuxi had already helped Xu Que up, but Xu Que could not even stand steadily. His whole body was like a shell that had lost its soul, and he was about to fall as soon as he was helped up.
Lin Yuxi could not help but feel a pain in her heart. She was silent, and she put Xu Que's hand on her shoulder. She half-supported and half-carried him to the back door of the inn.
She did not know what happened to Xu Que, and how he ended up like this, but she would not let him go again.
For so many years, she had experienced countless things, but she had always been determined to find Xu Que.
Now that she had found him, how could she let him go!
One step!
Two steps!
Three steps!
In this way, Lin Yuxi supported Xu Que, and under the gaze of everyone, they walked out silently.
The Childe Ge looked at their backs, and he weighed the Seven Stars Token in his hand. He smiled slightly, "Interesting!"
Since he had the Seven Stars Token, the matter of the Mind Restoration Pill was naturally not worth mentioning. However, Lin Yuxi, on the contrary, made him interested.
"Someone, follow them and find out what is the relationship between that woman and that fool. Report their whereabouts to me at any time." The Childe Ge waved his hand and ordered a guard to carry out the task.
The middle-aged innkeeper next to him rolled his eyes and said with a flattering face, "Childe, I know a little about the origin of that lady …"
…
Soon, night fell.
Lin Yuxi supported Xu Que, and they walked for a few hours. They left Star Heir City and settled in a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city.
She cast a spell, condensed a basin of clear water, and carefully wiped the stains on Xu Que's face.
Xu Que did not say a word throughout the whole process. His eyes were lifeless, and he sat on the spot like a puppet, allowing Lin Yuxi to manipulate him.
When Lin Yuxi wanted to help him wash his hair, Xu Que suddenly struggled and slapped Lin Yuxi's hand away. He said firmly, "My head can be broken, but my hairstyle cannot be messed up!"
Lin Yuxi suddenly widened her eyes and said happily, "Xu Que, you … you're okay?"
However, Xu Que did not reply. He still sat on the ground and looked at the ground blankly, as if that action was just a subconscious reaction.
Lin Yuxi stared blankly at Xu Que for a long time, and finally sighed.
She had already determined that Xu Que was not pretending to be crazy, but was really stupid.
But why did he become like this?
He was supposed to be the center of attention, the kind of arrogant, cynical, and ruffian person. Why did he become like this?
"Don't worry, I will find a way to cure you! Even if I can't cure you, I will protect you and take care of you! "Lin Yuxi murmured in a low voice as she touched Xu Que's face.
Her cultivation stage was too low, and she could not find out what was wrong with Xu Que. The only thing she could do was to tidy up Xu Que so that he would not be so sloppy.
She knew very well that he was a narcissistic guy who liked cleanliness!
The next day, at dawn, Lin Yuxi returned to Star Heir City with Xu Que.
At this time, Xu Que was able to walk. It seemed that he had an amazing recovery ability. The injuries caused by the beating of several cultivators at the Half-Celestial Stage the night before had completely recovered. However, he still did not have any cultivation achievements.
Lin Yuxi held his hand and wanted to take him to Star Heir City to seek medicine. She knew that her cultivation stage was too low. If she wanted to know what was wrong with Xu Que, she had to seek help from an expert.
However, not long after they entered the city, several figures rushed over and surrounded Lin Yuxi and Xu Que.
A middle-aged man, who was the innkeeper of the inn, walked out. He pointed at Lin Yuxi and shouted, "Humph, what a wicked woman! How dare you murder your own master and bury him in the woodshed of our inn! This is outrageous and insane! Guards, take her down and take her to the City Governor's Mansion!"
"My master?" Lin Yuxi was startled. She seemed to think of something and her expression suddenly changed. "My master passed away after she was injured. She was a close friend of your father. She hoped that she could be buried in the inn after she died, so I buried her there. You … what did you do to her?"
"Humph, you still dare to quibble. If we didn't dig her out, wouldn't she have died without knowing the truth?" The middle-aged shopkeeper said with a righteous expression.
When Lin Yuxi heard this, her body trembled. Her eyes were filled with sorrow and anger.
She had never thought that her Master would die in such an unpeaceful manner. These people had actually dug up her Master's body. Not only was this disrespectful, it was also an inhumane insult!
"Why? Why are you doing this? You will suffer the wrath of the heavens!" Lin Yuxi shouted angrily. She couldn't help but tear up. She felt unreconciled for her master.
"You're still asking why? Of course it's for justice. Guards, take this woman down. As for that fool, just beat him to death! "The middle-aged shopkeeper waved his hand and gave the order.
Several guards immediately stepped forward and approached Lin Yuxi expressionlessly.
Lin Yuxi's eyes trembled. She recognized that these people were the followers of the playboy from last night.
"Stop!"
At this time, a strong voice came from the crowd.
"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to bully a little girl like this, right?" A chubby man in a Buddhist robe walked out of the crowd with a string of beads in his hand. He looked at the middle-aged man and the guards with a smile.
