Chapter 239 Rescue the woman
Chapter 239 Rescue the woman
Qiqi quickly took out a few spiritual fruits from the space and distributed them to them. "Master, we will leave after we finish eating." Zhou Jingze said.
They quickly crossed the bridge, passed through the barrier, and arrived at the hidden river. Ling Xuzi then saw the portrait of the woman they had saved. Qiqi also took a careful look. When they first saw it, they thought it was Jiang Ziying. But after seeing the woman they had saved, they knew they were wrong. Very wrong. The woman in the stone statue was the woman they had saved. She truly looked like Jiang Ziying. It was not too much for them to admit their mistake.
They quickly reached the exit and unlocked the inner door. The guards outside heard the unlocking sound and quickly unlocked the outer door as well.
After they emerged, Zhou Jingze ordered his guards to seal the cave entrance. They filled the cave with earth and tamped it down, then closed the iron gate and tamped it down again. He was afraid someone from the immortal realm would come and see the iron gate. Their immortal magic wouldn't be able to stop it. If they reached the underground river and didn't see the iron gate, they wouldn't be able to find the exit.
Ling Xuzi and Liu Junyang also admired Zhou Jingze's thoughtfulness. They quickly exited the mine. As soon as they emerged, Ling Xuzi gathered them up and quickly returned to the Yongning Kingdom's palace.
They landed at the Imperial Palace. Liu Junyang quickly ran to his father's bedroom. His father looked much better.
After they rescued the woman, the old emperor fell asleep at noon without taking the medicine or having nightmares. The eunuch chief, upon seeing the old emperor asleep and not yelling, knew that the old emperor had fallen asleep and his illness was cured.
That night, the old emperor still didn't dare sleep, feeling incredibly sleepy. The chief eunuch told the emperor to try a short nap, but once the old emperor fell asleep, it wasn't just a short nap. The chief eunuch watched anxiously, fearing the emperor would yell again. But the old emperor slept soundly. That didn't happen again.
"Father, how are you now? Can you sleep without nightmares?" Liu Junyang asked.
"Jun Yang, you're back. I'm fine now and I can fall asleep. I don't have nightmares anymore. Where are Qiqi and the others?" asked the old emperor.
"I knew you could fall asleep. That's great, Qiqi, Master, Jingze, father is better now, can fall asleep, and no longer have nightmares. Thank you." Liu Junyang bowed and fell to the ground.
Ling Xuzi immediately pulled Liu Junyang up. "Father, as long as you're well, we're relieved," Qiqi said.
"Your Majesty, I want to take your son Liu Junyang as my apprentice. This kid is smart, studious, and can learn things quickly. I like this kid. Do you agree?" Before the old emperor agreed.
"Junyang, I pay my respects to Master." Liu Junyang knelt down and kowtowed three times to Ling Xuzi. Qiqi quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liu Junyang.
"Master, please have some tea." Ling Xuzi took it and drank it all in one gulp with a smile.
"Okay, okay, stand up, disciple. You are Qiqi's brother, you are the eldest senior brother, and Qiqi is your younger sister. I have accepted two good disciples. God, do you see that?" Ling Xuzi said proudly.
This made Qiqi, Zhou Jingze and the old emperor all laugh.
"Thank you, Immortal, for accepting them as your disciples. Let's have a banquet to celebrate."
Soon, the five of them sat together, and the table was filled with Qiqi's favorite food. Liu Junyang dismissed everyone in the hall and ordered the guards to guard the outside of the hall, not allowing outsiders to approach.
Liu Junyang told his father everything that had happened in the past few days. The old emperor was a clever man. Why did he call Ling Xuzi "Immortal Master"? He felt like he knew him from the bottom of his heart. He just couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
The old emperor came over to greet Ling Xuzi, thanking him for saving his life and protecting them, the younger generation.
"Your Majesty, please don't be so formal. We will be even closer in the future. Your son and daughter are both my disciples. I'm lucky." Ling Xuzi said happily.
"My Lord, I offer you a toast." The old emperor said, then picked up the glass and drank it all.
Ling Xuzi also picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp. The two of them burst into laughter.
On their way here, Ling Xuzi told the three of them not to reveal the fact that they had rescued the woman. Liu Junyang concealed all these things and did not tell his father, so as not to bring disaster to the entire imperial city.
The old emperor also didn't know that there was a woman in his dream. This was also a well-intentioned concealment.
They finished their meal quickly, and the old emperor was free. Qiqi wanted to hurry up and see how the woman in the space was doing. She wanted to take her back to the valley to heal her wounds. The valley was also a place unknown to outsiders, and it was safe there.
"Father, we are going back. Please take care of yourself. Brother Junyang, please spend more time with Father these days. We are going back soon. If there is anything, tell us. You are not allowed to hide it for such a long time." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, please be careful. I'll leave the Immortal Qiqi in your care." said the old emperor.
Qiqi and the others used teleportation to leave the imperial city. Ling Xuzi picked them up in a deserted area and quickly returned to the Lingxiao Sect. They reached the ninth floor of the Linglong Tower.
Qiqi moved the woman out of the space. Ling Xuzi's master saw the woman and quickly flew out of the Soul Nurturing Tree, his soul appearing in the air.
"Where did you rescue her from? She is the princess of the spirit world and has disappeared for more than a thousand years. People from the spirit world have gone to Yongqing Mountain to look for her. I have met them and they told me about this matter. I have also seen the princess of the spirit world in the fairy world. The princess of the spirit world has also lived for thousands of years." Ling Xuzi told his master what had happened in the past few days.
"So that's how it is. You have your shortcomings too. You can't even protect your own wife and children. Who else can you protect? So you can't protect us, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Sigh." The commander sighed and didn't ask any more questions.
Qiqi exclaimed when she heard this. "Master, you said she was a princess from the spirit world. Let's rescue a princess!"
"Yes, Qiqi, you guys save her. She is injured, so I won't get involved. I'm going to nourish my soul." After the commander said this, he entered the soul-nourishing wood in the soul bottle.
"Master, are we getting into more and more trouble?" Qiqi asked.
"Qiqi, don't be afraid. You saved the princess of the spiritual world, and they will help you. This will be a great help to you." Ling Xuzi said.
Seven points were placed on the woman's acupuncture points. Ling Xuzi also began to refine the elixir for the woman, helping her to heal her injuries as quickly as possible.
Qiqi also fed the woman a few pills to repair her body, and soon the woman woke up.
"Ziying, is that you? You saved me." When she woke up, she grabbed Qiqi's hand and called Ziying.
"Master, I'm not Ziying, my name is Qiqi."
The woman's eyes instantly lost their sparkle after hearing Qiqi's explanation. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. You were the ones who saved me, weren't you? Thank you so much, you and this immortal, for saving me."
"This is there, not the fairyland. Saving me will bring you trouble. You should leave quickly. They will cause trouble for you if they know you saved me." said the woman.
