Inside a room on the right side of Yun Lintian's room, Lin Xinyao was unconscious on a bamboo bed.
Her injury had completely healed. However, her breathing was still weak, and she didn't show any signs of waking up any time soon.
Unfortunately, Yun Lintian couldn't use his Spiritual Sense at the moment. Otherwise, he would be able to check her condition clearly.
"Her injury has obviously recovered. But why she hasn't woken up yet?" Yun Niu looked at Lin Xinyao in confusion.
"There should be a hidden injury somewhere. Maybe on her soul." Yun Lintian said calmly.
"Soul? We can look at people's souls?" Yun Niu was shocked.
Looking at her appearance, Yun Lintian asked curiously. "There's no profound practitioner here?"
"Profound practitioner?" Yun Niu tilted her head slightly, appearing confused. "Big Brother Yun means a warrior? There's Uncle Hei. He's the most powerful warrior in our village. I heard that he can fight a wild boar by himself."
"I see." Yun Lintian immediately understood. Looked like this Cloud Village was a pure mortal village.
"Let's go." Yun Lintian said and slowly followed Yun Niu out.
When the two walked out of the bamboo hut, Yun Lintian saw several similar houses forming a few rows with simple gravel paths in between. Several children could be seen jumping and running around happily. Their faces were full of innocent smiles, seemingly unaffected by the world.
With a glance, Yun Lintian believed there were more than five hundred people in this village. This number couldn't be considered small, but it was not large either.
Many adults were walking around with farming tools in their hands. When they walked past this place, they would cast a strange gaze on Yun Lintian. It wasn't rude, as they were looking at him out of curiosity, just like when Yun Niu looked at him.
"Grandma is in the field behind the hut. Why don't you sit here first, and I will call grandma over, Big Brother Yun?" Yun Niu dragged a bamboo chair over and said.
Yun Lintian hesitated briefly as he felt it was inappropriate to let a senior come to him. Not to mention it was in their own territory.
However, the pain in his chest and shoulder was a bit unbearable, and the wounds started to fracture as he walked. He didn't know how long the distance to the field was. Perhaps he would die out of bleeding first.
"Alright. I will have to trouble you." Yun Lintian didn't refuse in the end.
Yun Niu poured him a cup of water and quickly rushed toward the field behind the hut.
Yun Lintian took the water cup and saw his reflection inside. At this moment, he understood why people kept looking at him earlier. It turned out his current appearance was extremely haggard.
His hair was disheveled, and his face looked like he hadn't slept for a whole month. Throwing him to a street, they would think he was a beggar for sure.
Yun Lintian shook his head and bottomed up the cup before letting out a satisfied sigh. He leaned back slightly and looked at the clear sky, falling into deep thoughts.
A while later, Yun Niu returned with an old woman in her eighties. Her hair was completely white, but she tied it neatly, unlike any people in her peers.
Her eyes were thin as wrinkles above them drooped slightly, but in Yun Lintian's eyes, it was a pair of magnificent eyes that weren't inferior to anyone he had encountered.
With Yun Lintian's perception, this person was by no means ordinary.
What puzzled him was that she exuded no profound aura. Though Yun Lintian was 'crippled' at the moment, it was not difficult for him to identify one's profound strength.
She is either a powerhouse or really a moral… It should be the former… Thought Yun Lintian.
The old woman glanced at Yun Lintian and placed a hoe nearby before asking. "How are you? Still hurt?"
Yun Lintian got up from the chair and bowed his head slightly. "This junior thanks senior for saving my friend and me."
The old woman waved her hand and said. "What senior? My name is Yun Xia. You can call me Grandma Yun or Grandma Xia directly… Also, sit down first. Your wounds are not light."
"Alright, Grandma Yun. My name is Yun Lintian." Yun Lintian said and sat back in the chair.
The old woman, Yun Xia, was surprised slightly by Yun Lintian's surname. It was too coincidental.
She then walked up and looked at Yun Lintian's wounds that were started bleeding again and said. "You should lie down during this period. I'm afraid it would take a few months to recover."
She paused for a moment and said further. "I'll ask Yun Hei to find some herbs for you later. Maybe it can help you recover faster."
"Thank you." Yun Lintian said gratefully. He could see that Yun Xia's kindness was genuine.
"Niu'er, go fetch some water and put it in the pot. Grandma will make a meal in a while." Yun Xia turned to her granddaughter and said softly.
"Oh." Yun Niu didn't think about anything and quickly walked away with a bucket in her hand.
Watching Yun Niu disappear from her sight, Yun Xia's eyes turned sharp as she looked at Yun Lintian. "Your strength before reaching this state shouldn't be low. It seems your enemy is really strong."
A strange light flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes when he heard this. Sure enough. She should be an expert.
Yun Lintian nodded and said. "I won't hide anything from you, Grandma Yun. I have a lot of enemies, and all of them are the current rulers of this world."
Yun Lintian looked at Yun Xia's face attentively, trying to find any change, but he was destined to be disappointed.
Yun Xia didn't seem to surprise in the slightest. She responded calmly. "Then you are lucky enough to survive."
Yun Lintian hesitated briefly and asked cautiously. "Grandma, can you…?"
Yun Xia naturally understood what he wanted to say. She shook her head slightly. "I can't help with your and that little girl's injury… Besides, I'm not a practitioner… Not anymore."
Yun Lintian nodded his head slowly. "I understand."
"Grandma! I have already set the fire." At this moment, Yun Niu's voice rang from the open kitchen behind the hut.
Yun Xia smiled faintly and said. "You can stay here with peace of mind."
As she spoke, she turned around and walked toward the kitchen under Yun Lintian's thoughtful gaze.
