"I'm Ren Tianxing, the chief escort of the Tianxing Escort Agency. These are my two daughters, Qingluo and Qingyu. Three days ago, we found you while escorting you. Your condition was very bad at the time. Now you look good, so I'm relieved!"
Ren Tianxing laughed heartily and gave his name. It turned out that the beautiful girl who looked extremely cold was named Ren Qingluo, and the little girl was named Ren Qingyu.
Ren Qingluo glanced at Ling Xiao coldly, her eyes full of vigilance.
Ren Qingyu hid behind Ren Tianxing and made a cute face at Ling Xiao.
"Thank you, Chief Escort Ren, for saving me. Ling Xiao is grateful!"
Ling Xiao clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, then spoke seriously.
This gratitude was truly from the bottom of his heart. Ling Xiao's mental power spread out, and he had realized that this place was still deep in the mountain range of ferocious beasts. If it weren't for Ren Tianxing and others who rescued him, Ling Xiao would have been unconscious for three days and would have died in the belly of the ferocious beast.
"Brother, you don't have to be polite. We are all from the martial arts world. It is our duty to help each other when we are out. Seeing that you have recovered a lot, I am relieved! I wonder who you are? Why did you suffer such a serious injury?"
Ren Tianxing waved his hand proudly and asked curiously.
"Captain of the Escorts, just call me Ling Xiao. I am from the capital. This time I came to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range to train. I didn't expect to encounter a powerful ferocious beast. Although I escaped death in the end, I was also seriously injured."
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly.
"In that case, I won't be polite! Ling Xiao, you are actually from the capital, what a coincidence. Qinghua City, where our Tianxing Escort Agency is located, is very close to the capital. If you don't mind, how about following our escort agency? It will be like having someone to take care of you along the way!"
Ren Tianxing said with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Thank you, Chief Escort. I dare not disobey your orders!"
Ling Xiao smiled and agreed.
All his meridians are broken now, and he needs time to heal. Originally, there would be no problem for him to be alone, but seeing Ren Tianxing being so generous, Ling Xiao felt fond of him and did not reject his kindness.
"Okay! In that case, take good care of yourself, little brother. I won't bother you anymore!"
Ren Tianxing smiled slightly, a trace of worry flashed across his brows, he pulled Ren Qingyu and turned to leave the tent.
Ling Xiao keenly sensed Ren Tianxing's worry, and at the same time, he also felt the faint murderous aura from Ren Tianxing, which made him feel moved.
Before leaving the tent, Ren Qingluo paused for a moment without looking back. She said to Ling Xiao with her back to him calmly, "Do you know? We encountered a lot of strange things during this escort mission. We were constantly attacked by various ferocious beasts on the road and lost a lot of uncles. Many of them... followed my father decades ago, but now they are buried in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range!"
Ren Qingluo turned around and her cold eyes fell on Ling Xiao's face, with a hint of stubbornness and sadness.
"In fact, when Daddy and Yu'er wanted to save you three days ago, I was reluctant because carrying a burden like you would cause more uncles to lose their lives! But Daddy and Yu'er still saved you! In order to protect you, two more uncles died at the hands of ferocious beasts in the past three days!"
Ren Qingluo's words were so direct that Ling Xiao couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"I'm sorry, but I'm really not a burden! If you're in danger, you don't have to worry about me at all!"
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and said seriously.
"I know it's not your fault, but I'm still sad!"
Ren Qingluo's figure looked a little thin and weak at this moment, which made people feel distressed. There was a flash of sadness in her eyes, but then she returned to her cold look.
"Daddy told me that you are not an ordinary person! And you just said that you are from the capital..."
Ren Qingluo's eyes were bright, as if they could see through people's hearts, and there was a hint of expectation.
"Your tendons and veins are all broken now, just like an ordinary person. I don't know why Daddy thinks highly of you! But... if we really encounter an irresistible danger, I hope you can save Yu'er's life for the sake of us saving you. Please!"
Ren Qingluo gritted her teeth, bowed deeply to Ling Xiao, turned and walked out of the tent, leaving behind a wisp of girlish fragrance.
Ling Xiao touched his nose and smiled bitterly.
Ling Xiao could understand the conflicting psychology of this stubborn girl. After all, no one would feel good about the fact that so many close people died just because she saved a stranger.
"It seems that I need to recover my cultivation quickly. Only in this way can I help them kill the beasts as soon as possible and protect their safety. This can also be regarded as repaying their favor!"
Ling Xiao thought secretly in his heart.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, and a white jade bottle appeared in his hand, containing more than a dozen round green elixirs.
This is the top-grade elixir he refined before leaving Changshengmen, the Qingling Pill.
Qingling Pill is a top-level healing elixir. For strong people below the Grandmaster level, as long as the injuries are not irreversible, they can recover quickly. It has a certain effect even for Grandmaster level strong people.
Moreover, the elixirs refined by Ling Xiao are all of top quality, flawless, without a trace of impurities.
Ling Xiao swallowed three Qingling Pills into his stomach, and a cool and pure energy traveled throughout his body. Ling Xiao used the Tian-Swallowing Secret Art to refine the medicinal power of the Qingling Pills to repair the damaged meridians.
His entire body was wrapped in a hazy spiritual light, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth rushed into his body, speeding up his healing process.
Just like that, in one night, Ling Xiao's damaged meridians recovered by 20%, and the injuries to his internal organs also eased a lot.
It seems that it will probably take five or six days rather than ten days to fully recover.
This is also because the Qingling Pill and the Tuntian Secret Art are too heaven-defying. Otherwise, even if others had the Qingling Pill, their tendons and veins would be broken and it would be impossible for them to fully recover their cultivation.
Ling Xiao, who has practiced the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art, has exquisite control over his own true Qi. He can clearly grasp the existence of every injury and heal it with incredible precision.
After daybreak, Ling Xiao was arranged to ride on a horse-drawn carriage and followed the Tianxing Escort Agency through the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range.
Five days passed in a flash, and Ling Xiao's injuries had recovered by 90%, and he was only a little bit away from being completely healed.
Moreover, after this injury, Ling Xiao discovered that his meridians had become thicker, his pulse was like a dragon, becoming stronger, and his physique was evolving in an inhuman direction.
During these five days, Ling Xiao has gained a comprehensive understanding of the Tianxing Escort Agency.
