I attained immortality through meditation in the Great Qian Dynasty.

The man in the blue robe ran out of patience.

He felt that arguing with this ant was a complete waste of time.

True and false, real and unreal.

Before absolute power, nothing can hide!

"very good."

An aura erupted from his body!

The air within a radius of several feet around Jishetang seemed to freeze.

Several neighbors who hadn't gone far felt a tightness in their chests.

Zhao Zian is right at the very center of this storm.

"Oh no!"

Zhao Zian knew something was wrong.

This person is so brazen, he's about to kill someone right there in the street!

The vital energy for longevity within the dantian is divided.

A wisp of true energy coiled around his heart meridian, protecting it firmly.

The other part is to protect his sea of ​​consciousness.

On the surface, Zhao Zian appeared to be on the verge of collapse.

The eyes rolled upwards due to lack of oxygen, and the pupils began to dilate.

Damn it...you're insane!

The man in the blue robe frowned.

Not right.

The pressure he released was enough to suffocate even a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining.

An ordinary person would likely faint or even explode and die.

But the person in front of me looked terrible, as if he was about to die at any moment.

But he was still clinging to life and didn't collapse.

If we can't force it out, then... destroy it!

He was prepared to put in even more effort.

"stop!"

A clear, delicate shout rang out.

The curtain of Jishetang was lifted.

The person who arrived was Su Mei.

"Who are you? Why are you making things difficult for my doctor at the entrance of my Jishetang clinic?"

The man in the blue robe looked at Su Mei.

"roll."

Su Mei was enraged.

She had been running Jishetang in Liuxi Town for many years, and everyone, whether from the legitimate or criminal world, gave her some face.

Even the county magistrate, Zhang Jing, had to address her respectfully as Manager Su.

"You have quite the arrogance!"

"I don't care who you are or what grudges you have. This is Jishetang, a place to heal the sick and save lives! Not a gladiatorial arena for you to show off your violence! If you dare to lay a finger on Doctor Zhao today, I, Su Mei, guarantee that within an hour, the entire Willow Creek Town will know what you've done!"

No matter how strong you are, you can't slaughter the entire town, can you?

No matter how arrogant you are, you don't want to be watched by countless eyes, right?

With Su Mei behind him, Zhao Zi'an felt a significant reduction in pressure.

The man in the blue robe frowned, his brows furrowing into a knot.

He wasn't afraid.

He didn't care at all about the public opinion in a small, ordinary town.

But he was annoyed.

He came here to investigate the power of the blazing sun.

If someone were to commit murder in public here, it would inevitably attract the attention of the authorities.

It's not worth creating unnecessary trouble for a mortal with so many suspicious points.

Thinking of this, the murderous intent in his eyes subsided.

"snort."

The air began to move.

The distant clamor drifted over once more.

"You're lucky."

The man in the blue robe looked at Zhao Zi'an.

"However, don't get too excited yet."

"Your scent... is very unique."

"You can run away on the first day of the month, but you can't hide on the fifteenth. I will find you, or rather... find it."

"We'll meet again soon."

After saying this, the man in the blue robe did not linger.

Su Mei's back was already drenched in sweat.

She just narrowly escaped death.

Although she didn't know why, her intuition told her so.

That man really would kill!

"Zi'an! How are you?"

She supported the swaying Zhao Zian.

Zhao Zian's face remained deathly pale.

"I...I'm fine..."

"Shopkeeper, who was that person just now? So...so scary..."

Su Mei's eyebrows furrowed, her almond-shaped eyes widened, her anger still not subsided.

"How was I supposed to know which mad dog came out of nowhere!"

"Are you really alright? Would you like to go inside and rest? I'll have Accountant Sun make you a calming soup."

"No...no need."

Zhao Zian straightened up.

"I was just... I was really scared, I'll be fine after a while."

Su Mei helped him walk into the clinic.

"Zi'an, tell me honestly, have you offended someone outside?"

"That person doesn't seem like an ordinary thug."

Zhao Zian gave a wry smile.

"Shopkeeper, you know my situation. I'm penniless; how could I possibly offend such an important person?"

Su Mei helped Zhao Zi'an into the side room and laid him down on the couch.

"Don't move, just lie here. I'll go keep an eye on things up ahead and ask around to find out who that madman is."

Zhao Zian nodded.

"Thank you for your trouble, shopkeeper."

"Why are you being so polite with me?"

Su Mei rolled her eyes at him.

"You saved my life, so it's only right that I protect you."

"I've already given the orders, no one will bother you. Don't think about anything, just get a good night's sleep. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up."

The door was closed.

The room fell silent.

Zhao Zian did not sleep.

The door was pushed open.

A wisp of white mist drifted in.

The mist outlined a human figure.

The girl was naked, and tears streamed down her face like broken beads.

"Owner……"

She hugged Zhao Zian's waist and buried her face in his chest.

"Waaaah... Master... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

"It's all Xiaobai's fault... Xiaobai harmed Master..."

Zhao Zian froze.

This intimate contact, so completely undisguised, still shook him to his core.

Zhao Zian pulled over a thin blanket and wrapped it around her shapely body.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"What does this have to do with you? It's just that I'm not skilled enough and can't beat them."

"No...no..."

Little White lifted its head in his arms.

"That person...that person came for me..."

"I can sense... a terrifying aura emanating from him..."

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left my scent outside, otherwise he wouldn't have found this place... Waaah... Master, will he kill you? Little White is so scared..."

"Don't be afraid."

Zhao Zian tightened his arms and hugged Xiaobai, who was wrapped in a blanket, into his arms.

"With me here, no one can hurt you."

Little White's crying gradually subsided.

"Owner……"

"Um?"

"You...you won't mind that Xiaobai is a monster? Won't you hand Xiaobai over to that person in exchange for your own safety?"

She asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zian was both amused and exasperated.

"What's going on in your little head all day?"

"The first time I saw you was in the mountains; you were on the verge of death. If I had been afraid you were a monster, I wouldn't have saved you."

"You followed me home, stole my herbs, and overturned my medicine stove. Have I ever blamed you?"

"In my eyes, you're not some monster, you're just Xiaobai, you're my family."

family.

She has been a solitary fox since she was born with intelligence.

Hiding from various dangers in the deep mountains, they had never experienced warmth or reliance.

Until he met Zhao Zian.

He treated her injuries and gave her food.

He was the only person in the world who was good to her.

Xiao Bai's eyes reddened again.

"Owner……"
