Chapter 399: It Has Nothing to Do with Zhu Ling!

Inside the bedroom, the young girl, who had already woken up, lay on the bed with one fair little hand exposed.

A silk veil covered the young girl’s fair right wrist, and through it, Must Not Die was feeling her pulse.

“Senior Must Not Die, how is Wang Xing’s condition?”

In Wang Xing’s room, Must Not Die had just lifted his aged hand from the silk veil when Sikong Jing couldn’t help but ask.

“No need to worry.”

Must Not Die said with a smile.

“Whether it’s her body or her Divine Soul, this time, Wang Xing has truly pulled through.”

Hearing Must Not Die’s conclusion, Sikong Jing let out a heavy sigh of relief.

At this moment, Madam Sikong had already thrown herself onto her daughter, hugging Wang Xing tightly.

“Thank you, Senior Must Not Die, little brother Lin Xun… Tianji City will never forget the great kindness of you two!”

Sikong Jing bent down and cupped his hands, giving a deep, respectful bow.

“Thank you both for saving my daughter’s life!”

Madam Sikong also shed tears of joy, placing her hands in front of her as she gave a deep, graceful bow.

The old man shook his head. “If you want to thank someone, thank Lin Xun. Without him, Wang Xing’s situation would have been dire this time.”

For Must Not Die, because of his own negligence in not considering the level of the Divine Soul, which had almost caused something to happen to Wang Xing, he felt he had no face to accept their gratitude.

“Lin Xun,” Must Not Die sighed, “this is another favor this old man owes you.”

“Senior Must Not Die is being too modest.”

Lin Xun shook his head.

“If it weren’t for the Medicinal Pill refined by Senior Must Not Die to stabilize Wang Xing’s body, relying on this Junior alone would have been useless.”

“Be that as it may, Wang Xing is my patient. My lack of foresight almost caused an accident for the patient, so that is my problem.”

Must Not Die sized up Lin Xun.

“In a while, let this Old fellow check your pulse. Regarding your great dao injury, I might truly have no solution.”

“But regardless, it’s worth a try.”

“Then I thank Senior for your kindness.”

Lin Xun did not refuse.

It was mainly because this old Senior seemed a bit stubborn; if he refused, he felt the old Senior wouldn’t let it go.

Moreover, for some reason, Lin Xun felt that the other party really wanted to distance himself… Lin Xun thought it was likely because the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley didn’t want to owe him any favors.

“Tianji City has already prepared guest rooms for everyone. You’ve worked hard this past day and night, so please take a good rest.”

“Then this Junior shall take his leave for now.”

Although Lin Xun really wanted to go back right now because he didn’t want Yaya to worry.

But Lin Xun still felt somewhat uneasy.

He still felt that the “Concentric Knot” Spell was not that simple.

Furthermore, when Lin Xun was in Wang Xing’s consciousness earlier, he had sensed the presence of another trace of a Divine Soul.

Although it was very well hidden at the time, Lin Xun had still discovered it.

Lin Xun didn’t even need to think; that trace of a Divine Soul definitely belonged to She Qiqi.

Lin Xun needed some time to check his own Divine Sense and then find an opportunity to check Wang Xing’s Divine Soul.

Otherwise, it would be bad if an accident occurred.

As Lin Xun and the others left his daughter’s bedroom.

Watching Lin Xun’s retreating back and noticing that Wang Xing’s gaze followed him as he left, Sikong Jing sighed helplessly.

Now, Lin Xun had saved his daughter once again.

It could be said that without Lin Xun, his daughter would no longer exist.

Moreover, his daughter liked Lin Xun… Actually, after this ordeal, under normal circumstances, Sikong Jing would have already accepted Lin Xun.

If his daughter really wanted to be with Lin Xun, then given the current situation, Sikong Jing simply wouldn’t be able to refuse.

But the main issue was that this Lin Xun was already married, and he also seemed to be entangled with the Saintess of Medicine King Valley.

How could this be? How could he agree to this?

Wouldn’t that be pushing his daughter into a fire?

But what should he do now?

Lin Xun had saved Wang Xing, so she would certainly be even more devoted to him.

Furthermore, Lin Xun was now a benefactor to his daughter… a double benefactor at that… Sikong Jing felt his head ache… He felt as if he were paying for some past sin; how could he have encountered such a situation… “Wang Xing…”

Looking at his daughter, Sikong Jing spoke slowly, though his heart was filled with mixed emotions… “Yes?”

Hearing her father call her name, Wang Xing raised her head, her eyes blinking softly.

“Wang Xing… you… I…”

Sikong Jing hesitated… “Forget it!”

In the end, Sikong Jing gave up.

“Wang Xing, get some good rest. Let your mother keep you company; I’m going out for a moment.”

With those words, Sikong Jing walked out of Wang Xing’s room.

Meanwhile, in Lin Xun’s room, Must Not Die was checking Lin Xun’s pulse.

Lin Xun originally thought the old Senior would look for him tomorrow, but he didn’t expect him to be in such a hurry… It was as if he couldn’t sleep until he had repaid the favor.

But to be honest, in Lin Xun’s view, there was really very little that could be done about his great dao injury.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Must Not Die let go of Lin Xun’s wrist, his expression indeed looking very complex… “Lin Xun, this injury of yours…”

Must Not Die spoke with difficulty.

Although Must Not Die had previously said modestly, “Regarding your great dao injury, I might truly have no solution.”

At that time, Must Not Die was confident that he could still do quite a bit.

But now, Must Not Die realized he was truly wrong.

What he could do was truly too limited.

Lin Xun’s great dao injury was extremely severe.

It was so severe that it was a miracle his cultivation wasn’t completely lost, let alone that he still maintained his current Realm.

And after the battle in the Rootless Secret Realm, Lin Xun’s injuries had become even more severe.

Actually, Lin Xun should have dropped in Realm, but he must have consumed a rootless fruit, so his injuries were slightly repaired and his Realm was stabilized.

But now, because Lin Xun had blocked the Nine-Turn Pill Tribulation for Wang Xing, the injuries he had finally managed to stabilize were becoming severe again.

It could be said that Lin Xun’s body was now riddled with holes.

The kind where, if it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to cultivate at all.

Yet Lin Xun still acted as if nothing were wrong… This was the first time Must Not Die had seen such a thing in his life!

“I will first prescribe a few doses of medicine for you, little brother Lin, and then I will find another way regarding your body…”

Must Not Die let out a soft sigh.

“Thank you, Senior. However, I am very aware of my own body’s condition; Senior really doesn’t need to be so concerned.”

Lin Xun gave a respectful bow, naturally giving the old Senior a way out.

“No!”

Just as Lin Xun finished speaking, Must Not Die slammed the table and stood up.

“I will definitely find a way for your body. This is a favor I am repaying! It has nothing to do with Zhu Ling!”

“Oh… okay.”

Lin Xun was a bit dazed; he hadn’t said anything about it having to do with Zhu Ling…
