In this way, the group led by Ziyan rushed toward the direction of the crying sound, but to their shock, upon arrival, they all gasped in horror!
For some unknown reason, seven or eight wild beasts suddenly emerged from all directions, and they were all ferocious tigers.
Not far ahead, an old woman had been knocked down by one of the tigers and was being mauled because she couldn't escape in time.
Damn! Ziyan could no longer bear to watch and immediately instructed Wu Xiang to go save her.
Just as Wu Xiang approached to rescue the old woman, several other tigers lunged toward Ziyan and the others.
The four cooks nearby rushed forward to engage with the four tigers, leaving only Ziyan alone.
At that moment, Ziyan heard a strange sound of music, and three tigers formed a triangular formation surrounding her. Almost simultaneously, they pounced on her.
Ziyan was about to use her lightness skill to leap away when it was already too late—
One tiger from behind seized the opportunity while she was focused on the two tigers on her sides and bit onto one side of her pant leg.
"Ah—" Ziyan had no choice but to prepare for a desperate fight when suddenly a figure flashed into view.
Then, she saw him execute a beautiful sword strike, fiercely stabbing at the tiger that had bitten her pant leg, timely protecting Ziyan. Upon closer inspection, she recognized him as Xiang Wang Lingfeng.
However, just as Ziyan felt relieved seeing Reinforcements and thought she was safe, for some unknown reason, an arrow shot toward her from a concealed spot in the distance.
The arrow was about to hit Ziyan!
Ling Feng, unable to pull out his sword that was deeply embedded in the tiger's body in time, quickly embraced Ziyan and spun around half a circle, perfectly blocking the arrow just in time.
"You? Xiang Wang Ye, Xiang Wang Ye!" Ziyan exclaimed, stunned and at a loss for words.
She could only hold tightly onto the swaying Ling Feng, who was about to fall to the ground.
It was not until this moment that Ling Feng's hidden guards finally arrived, eliminating all the fierce attackers.
One of them even captured a hidden assassin in the large tree, who had originally intended to shoot Ziyan.
Just as Wu Xiang arrived to interrogate the assassin, unexpectedly, the assassin swallowed the poison he had prepared beforehand, foaming at the mouth and dying on the spot.
It was after experiencing this assassination attempt that Ziyan realized that making money was not her top priority. With someone as noble as Ling Feng, their guards were still so late to arrive.
Thus, relying on others was not as good as relying on oneself; no matter how good the guards were, they were still just guards!
She needed to return to Hot Spring Valley and master her skills in order to navigate this dangerous world filled with experts. Of course, that was a matter for later!
The immediate priority now was to get this Xiang Wang Ye, who risked his life to save her, to the Jishitang branch in the capital for treatment.
At this moment, Ziyan did not have any trustworthy friends in the capital, so she could only rely on Mr. Mo's disciples.
Just then, some people she had thought she would never see again came rushing over to join the commotion.
The first person! Of course, it was the girl who had harbored deep hatred for her since her first day in the capital.
With a fierce expression, she charged at Ziyan and shouted, "You jinx! If anything happens to Xiang Wang Ye, I will make your entire family pay for it!"
Saying this, she angrily pushed Ziyan aside and hugged Ling Feng instead.
Unfortunately for her, in the next second, the pain-stricken Xiang Wang furrowed his brows and used all his strength to throw the girl heavily to the ground.
Due to excessive exertion, the dignified Xiang Wang Ye was now in immense pain.
Still supporting his injured body, he struggled step by step to reach Ziyan. He took her small hand and headed towards the nearby carriage.
This left his group of childhood friends looking bewildered, along with a girl who had fallen to the ground, tears of resentment streaming down her face.
Under Wu Xiang's guidance, the swiftly advancing carriage soon arrived at Jishitang, located to the south of the capital.
Wu Xiang took out a token used by the disciples of Jishitang for identity verification.
One of Old Man Mo's most prized disciples, named Mo Ziyu, who was also the current Shopkeeper of Jishitang, earnestly welcomed Ziyan and her companions into the inner chamber.
"This arrow is poisoned!" As soon as Mo Ziyu spoke, everyone's breath seemed to catch in their throats.
However, after a moment, Mo Ziyu calmly added, "Fortunately, I have the antidote recipe for this poison."
Uh? Phew—damn!
Ziyan covered her chest with both hands and shot him an annoyed glance.
She secretly thought to herself: You really are worthy of being Old Man Mo's amusing disciple! Can't you just say everything in one go? You have to make everyone anxious before you're satisfied!
Seeing that Mo Ziyu had given a prescription to a disciple and sent him off to prepare the medicine, he then carefully helped Ling Feng onto the bed.
At the same time, he removed his shoes and climbed onto the bed, gently taking off Ling Feng's upper garments layer by layer. He then sat cross-legged behind him, focused his energy, and extended his hands to slowly push the toxins from his body using his internal power.
After about two cups of tea's worth of time, all the toxins were expelled from Ling Feng's body, and he spat out a large mouthful of congealed blood.
Ziyan almost fell over and, feeling compassion, rushed forward to support him.
At this moment, Mo Ziyu was also sweating profusely, clearly exhausted, so he continued to sit cross-legged on the ground to cultivate and recover.
The Clerk, who had already prepared the medicine and placed it on the table, quickly picked up the bowl and fed it to Ling Feng.
Thus, Ziyan supported Ling Feng for quite a while. It wasn't until his complexion regained some color that he slightly improved.
Under Mo Ziyu's suggestion, Ziyan decided to stay with Ling Feng for the night.
Tomorrow would be the first day of business, and Ziyan recalled Mo Ziyu's assurance.
As long as Ling Feng was not moved tonight, he would still be able to appear at the opening event tomorrow and stay for at least four or five hours in good health.
Ziyan's previously tense heart finally felt a great sense of relief.
But what about the debt of gratitude he owed Ling Feng? Sigh! The hardest thing to repay in this world is the life-saving grace of self-sacrifice.
Sorrow! Ziyan silently sighed in his heart.
Then he sat on the edge of the bed, staring unblinkingly at this recently acquainted Xiang Wang Ye—Ling Feng.
What a twisted fate! Heaven truly has a sense of humor; clearly, he already had Ling Yuxuan, yet at this moment, another Xiang Wang Ye was sent his way.
In his heart, there was no conflict; in this lifetime, he would only wish to accompany Ling Yuxuan. But how should he deal with this Xiang Wang Ye's overwhelming affection that he simply could not bear?
For a moment, Ziyan felt a headache coming on.
A lament echoed in Ziyan's heart that could not be quelled for a long time! At this point, all he could do was take it one step at a time.
After the grand opening ceremony of the new store concluded successfully, it was time for Ziyan to hurry back to where she came from! She didn't want to stay in this "troublesome place" any longer. Returning to her hometown, Hengfeng County Town, and to Ling Yuxuan, whom she missed dearly, perhaps with the passage of time, Xiang Wang Ye would come to understand things better.
Yes! That's settled. Ziyan thought for a long time and finally made this decision.
Then, before she knew it, it was already very late at night, and sleepiness pulled Ziyan into a dream.
When Ziyan woke up, leaning against the edge of the bed next to Ling Feng, she saw a pair of bright eyes filled with satisfaction, gazing at her intently.
"Awake?" Ling Feng smiled, happiness shining in his eyes.
"Oh, you're awake too. It seems I haven't been very attentive in taking care of you!" Ziyan said with a self-deprecating smile towards Ling Feng.
"Not at all, you've done very well," Ling Feng gently reassured her.
"Uh? Oh." Ziyan's head felt a bit dazed and heavy.
Suddenly remembering what Dr. Mo Ziyu had said, she added, "Dr. Mo said yesterday that you could stay at the new store for four or five hours today without it being harmful to your health."
"Mm!" Ling Feng continued to smile and reached out to take Ziyan's small hand. Then he spoke up: "Yan'er, I... I really like you."
Uh? This guy really is something; whatever I worry about just comes true!
Ziyan quickly withdrew her hand. "Xiang Wang Ye, you can't say that. Your life-saving grace is something I will never forget in this lifetime. If you ever need help in the future, please let me know. I will do my utmost."
Hearing Ziyan's words, Ling Feng once again took hold of her hand, his eyes filled with infinite tenderness as he shook his head and said, "No, Yan'er, I don't want anything from you. If you truly wish to repay this kindness, could you give me an opportunity equal to Xuan's so we can compete fairly?"
"No! That's impossible." Ziyan withdrew her hand again and rushed out of the room.
With a loud "bang," Ziyan collided head-on with Mo Ziyu, who had come early to check on her. She quickly apologized to Mo Ziyu.
"Oh, no, it's fine, Miss Zi. I just wonder how Xiang Wang Ye is doing now?" Mo Ziyu asked with a smile.
"Well, he's doing well. He has woken up. You can go in and take a look," Ziyan replied, really not wanting to face Ling Feng again.
"Alright." Mo Ziyu took a few steps forward but then turned back to Ziyan.
"Miss Zi, you seem a bit restless. You must not have rested well last night. I happen to have some Spirit Awakening Pills that specialize in this area. Today is the grand opening of my new shop; how can you be in low spirits? Why don't you take three of these? I guarantee you'll feel revitalized and won't feel tired or drowsy."
"Oh? Thank you so much! I was just worried about this. Doctor Mo truly lives up to being Old Demon's prized disciple. Indeed, you are a Divine Doctor."
Upon hearing about such a miraculous medicine, Ziyan couldn't help but feel overjoyed and generously praised Mo Ziyu.
"Not at all, not at all. Come, follow me."
Ziyan followed Mo Ziyu to his private pharmacy, where he took a small bottle of Spirit Awakening Pills, and then they headed to the room where Ling Feng was.
Ziyan asked Wu Xiang to bring her some warm water and immediately swallowed three Spirit Awakening Pills.
After waiting for just a short while, she suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated.
The effect of the Spirit Awakening Pill was incredible! Ziyan secretly rejoiced in her heart.
