Chapter 777: Another Crisis!
Xu Meijing didn't want to waste time recovering from her injuries, but she didn't refuse Feng Xiao's kind offer to give her an elixir.
As Feng Xiao said, using the elixir to recover from her injuries wouldn't waste any time, and she only needed to take it to let the medicinal properties repair her wounds.
Feng Xiao not only gave Xu Meijing a few elixirs but also some other medicines to help her recover.
With these medicines, Xu Meijing left the villa, but she didn't directly tear open a spatial rift in the treatment room because she was worried that the resulting shockwaves would damage the facilities and affect Yang Haoran, who was lying on the bed. So, she waited until she was outside the villa before tearing open a spatial rift to leave.
After Xu Meijing left, Master Wu hurriedly followed her to see her off. He didn't need to mention the relationship between Xu Meijing and Yang Haoran; as the Burial Master, he had to show respect. He was just a Night Watch, after all.
After seeing Xu Meijing off, Master Wu was about to return to the villa to discuss with everyone what to do next, but just then, Bai Xue, Xiu Juan, and Xiaokang walked out of the villa one after another.
Feng Xiao didn't come out; she stayed in the alchemy room, keeping a close eye on Yang Haoran's condition to prevent any accidents.
"Old Wu, I'm also going to find the Mysterious Ice Beauty. Let's leave it to that woman; I don't trust her."
Bai Xue looked at Master Wu, expressing her thoughts.
As soon as Bai Xue finished speaking, Xiaokang also chimed in. This time, Xiu Juan didn't glare at him like she usually did, seemingly approving of his decision.
Master Wu's strength wasn't as formidable as Bai Xue's, but when Yang Haoran was absent, he was in charge of making all the decisions, especially regarding the Lecheng Yin Division, which Yang Haoran had almost entirely entrusted to him. He was like Yang Haoran's steward.
And he had always done a great job, never disappointing Yang Haoran.
When he heard Bai Xue's words, he thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Bai Xue, you can't go."
Master Wu didn't agree with Bai Xue's idea, and Bai Xue's expression turned anxious as she quickly asked, "Why can't I go?"
Master Wu explained his thoughts to Bai Xue.
"Currently, among us, your strength is the greatest. If you go to find the Mysterious Ice Beauty, who will stay behind to guard the house, and who will protect Boss and Xiao Xiao?"
Bai Xue was taken aback by Master Wu's question.
"My current strength may be close to opening the heaven soul, but I still haven't achieved it. My strength is decent among the Night Watch, but it's far from enough in the face of true experts. Even if a slightly stronger spirit master comes, I'm no match for them. With my strength, if I stay behind to guard the house, can you feel at ease? Even if you're at ease, I'm not."
Hearing this, Bai Xue's anxiety grew. What if someone broke into the house while she was away, and everything was lost? But if she didn't go to find the Mysterious Ice Beauty herself, she wouldn't be at ease either. She couldn't rely solely on Xu Meijing to find it.
For a moment, Bai Xue's face showed hesitation. Master Wu saw this and knew what she was hesitant about, so he spoke up again, expressing his thoughts.
"How about this? You stay behind to guard the house, protect Xiao Xiao and Boss, and let me go find the Mysterious Ice Beauty. I'll use every means possible and mobilize all our strength to find it."
Bai Xue wanted to search for the Mysterious Ice Beauty herself, but she had to consider Yang Haoran and Feng Xiao's safety, so she hesitated for a moment before nodding her head in agreement with Master Wu's proposal.
After all, Yang Haoran's weak life fluctuations could still be stabilized by Feng Xiao, and Feng Xiao could use medicine to gradually strengthen Yang Haoran's life fluctuations, although the effect was not obvious, but at least it wouldn't let Yang Haoran's life fluctuations continue to weaken.
As long as there were no external enemies invading and no sudden accidents happened to Yang Haoran's body during this period, Yang Haoran's life fluctuations wouldn't disappear.
But if there was no strong expert guarding this place, the consequences would be unimaginable if external enemies invaded.
To ensure Yang Haoran's safety during this period, Bai Xue finally decided to stay at home and let Master Wu handle the search for the Mysterious Ice Beauty.
"My abilities are weak, and staying at home won't be of much help, so can I go out to search for the Mysterious Ice Beauty, Grandpa Wu? I also want to do something for Uncle Yang."
Xiaokang saw that Bai Xue had agreed to Master Wu's proposal and knew that Bai Xue wouldn't be going out to search for the Mysterious Ice Beauty. However, Bai Xue couldn't leave, but he could, and with his abilities, even if he stayed at home, he wouldn't be of much help and would only become a burden.
"Okay, but you must not act recklessly and must follow my arrangements for every action."
Master Wu thought for a moment and agreed to Xiaokang's request.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Wu, I've always listened to you. We've worked together on many missions, and you know I've never acted impulsively or taken actions without permission."
Xiaokang was afraid that Master Wu would change his mind, so he quickly spoke up to guarantee his obedience and even brought up his past experiences of following Master Wu's instructions.
Master Wu nodded, and Xiaokang's words were indeed true. In the past, when Master Wu had taken Xiaokang on missions to guide the undead, Xiaokang had always been obedient and had never acted recklessly. Master Wu was relatively at ease about this aspect, and his previous warning was just to remind Xiaokang that this matter was very important and couldn't be taken lightly.
Time was pressing, and Master Wu was about to take Xiaokang to the South Lake Death God Temple to make arrangements for searching for the Mysterious Ice Beauty. However, just at this moment, a fluctuation suddenly appeared in the space outside the Mountain and Water Formation barrier.
Everyone's faces changed instantly, and it was clear that someone was trying to open a space rift.
"Xiu Juan, quickly hide this villa."
The villa Master Wu referred to was the one they were currently in, which was the one Feng Xiao used for alchemy.
Originally, this villa had been in a hidden state under the restriction barrier, but Xu Meijing had torn the barrier apart in anger yesterday. Xiu Juan had been about to open the restriction barrier, but Xu Meijing had punched her way through, solving the problem with force. Although Xu Meijing hadn't used full force, the formation flag would still be affected if the restriction barrier was broken multiple times. The canonical source for this content: M|V|L2EMPYR.
Moreover, without Yang Haoran's permission, Xiu Juan didn't dare to leave a mark on Xu Meijing's body to allow her to enter and exit the barrier, even though Xu Meijing's relationship with Yang Haoran was extraordinary.
Since she couldn't leave a mark on Xu Meijing's body and was worried that Xu Meijing would destroy the restriction barrier and affect the formation flag, Xiu Juan decided not to reveal the restriction barrier.
At this moment, a fluctuation suddenly appeared outside the Mountain and Water Formation, and it was unclear whether the incoming person was friend or foe. In this situation, it was natural to hide the villa immediately to avoid exposing their secrets.
Xiu Juan was very fast and quickly took out the formation disc to activate it, re-covering and hiding the alchemy room and the villa.
"I'll go take a look at the situation."
Master Wu spoke and immediately rushed towards the region where the power fluctuation was coming from outside the Mountain and Water Formation.
Bai Xue was a bit worried and followed Master Wu, fearing that the incoming person might not be friendly.
Xiaokang saw this and didn't say anything, just following them. Xiu Juan wanted to stop Xiaokang but hesitated for a moment and decided to let it go.
As for her, after successfully hiding the villa, she also followed them, although she didn't know who the incoming person was or what their background was, but her face showed no fear.
