Creak!
At this moment, a wooden door slowly opened, and a thin young girl walked into the room with a basin in her hand. Her skin was rough, and her clothes were full of patches.
A pair of malnourished hands held the water basin tightly as she walked to the only table beside the bed and placed the basin on it. She then picked up a coarse fabric that was the cleanest one she had out of the water before twisting it dry and preparing to clean Yun Lintian's wound.
However, when she turned around, her gaze immediately met Yun Lintian's, causing her to shudder in shock.
To Yun Lintian's surprise, the young girl didn't utter a sound. More precisely, she couldn't make a sound as she was born mute.
The young girl patted her chest to calm herself down and gestured with her hand.
Fortunately, Yun Lintian knew the hand signs back to Earth. Although it was different, he could roughly understand what she wanted to convey.
Yun Lintian said gently. "Thank you. I'm much better now."
The young girl heaved a sigh of relief and made an eating gesture, asking whether he wanted to eat something.
He shook his head and said. "Please give me water."
The young girl nodded. She quickly grabbed a broken kettle nearby and poured a cup of water for him.
Yun Lintian slowly moved himself up but discovered he had no strength to even lift his hand.
Seeing this, the young girl sat on the plank bed and held Yun Lintian's head up before feeding him water.
Yun Lintian drank all of it and said. "Thank you."
The young girl shook her head, indicating it was fine.
"Can you tell me? How did you find me, and how long did I sleep? Also, where is this place?" Yun Lintian shot a series of questions.
The young girl thought for a moment and rummaged through a drawer for a paper before writing something on it.
She then showed the paper to Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian looked at the words on the paper and was relieved inwardly. At least, it was the language he knew.
From her words, he had slept for an entire week after she rescued him from a river nearby.
As for this place, it was a sect called the Profound Pill Sect. Judging from the name, it should be a sect specialized in alchemy.
One thing that Yun Lintian was certain of was this place should be somewhere in the Divine Realm. After all, the aura was entirely different. It was several times richer than the Azure World's.
Yun Lintian looked at the young girl thoughtfully. From her aura, he could tell she was at the fourth level of the Foundation Profound Realm, which couldn't even be considered a practitioner.
"My name is Lin Tian. What is your name?" Yun Lintian said gently. Although he didn't want to use a fake name, it was for the sake of his safety. At least he had to wait until his strength recovered.
The young girl wrote something on the paper and showed it to him.
"Ning Yue? Good name." Yun Lintian said with a smile.
The young girl, Ning Yue, smiled and pointed at Yun Lintian, indicating that his name was also good.
Just as Yun Lintian wanted to say something further, footsteps could be heard from outside, causing Ning Yue's face to change drastically.
Ning Yue hurriedly grabbed a rucksack beside the wall and rushed out.
At this moment, two young men could be seen standing at Ning Yue's dilapidated hut with cold expressions. Judging from their clean clothes, they seemed to have a certain status.
"Hand it over." The blue-robed young man said and snatched the rucksack from Ning Yue's hand. He didn't restrain his strength at all, causing Ning Yue to fall to the ground.
He opened the rucksack and saw a bunch of second-rank medicinal herbs inside.
"Cheh. Only this much?" The blue-robed young man glanced at the herbs and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.
"You better gather more next time. Just go deeper. What are you afraid of?" The blue-robed young man said coldly and prepared to leave.
Just as they turned around, the tall young man on the side seemed to notice something. "Hmm? There's a person inside?"
Ning Yue's expression changed drastically as she struggled to get up to block the door. However, the blue-robed young man simply threw her away and walked into the room.
"Oh? A cripple?" He looked at Yun Lintian and said disdainfully. "Where did you pick up this trash from, Ning Yue?"
Ning Yue got up from the ground and rushed into the room, trying to block the two.
The blue-robed young man chuckled and said to the tall man. "Look. She's so anxious to protect him. Could it be he is her little lover?"
The tall man glanced at Yun Lintian with a frown. He somehow felt something was wrong with this man, but no matter how he looked at it, Yun Lintian was indeed a cripple.
Ning Yue glared at the two stubbornly and waved her hand, trying to chase them two out.
"Hey. He's so pitiful. Why don't we end his suffering?" The blue-robed man smiled wickedly, causing Ning Yue to become more anxious.
Yun Lintian watched as everything played calmly. He didn't expect the first thing he saw after arriving in the Divine Realm was a classic bully.
He sensed the interspatial ring on his finger and was relieved. If these two dared to make a move, he would have a way to deal with them.
The tall man didn't stop the blue-robed man. He wanted to see if his intuition was correct.
The blue-robed man pushed Ning Yue away and raised his hand, preparing to finish Yun Lintian.
Ning Yue was so anxious that she struggled to get up and slammed her entire body into the blue-robed man with all her might.
However, the blue-robed man could easily avoid her and said mockingly. "Tsk. Tsk. Are you so anxious to save your little lover? Don't worry. I will make it quick, so he won't feel any pain."
Just as the blue-robed was about to attack Yun Lintian, a cold female voice suddenly resounded from the outside.
"Are you bullying people again, Huang Yuchun?"
At the same time, a young girl clad in a pristine white robe appeared at the door. Although she didn't do anything besides speak, the cold aura from her clearly threatened the two men.
