Chapter 251: Entering the Saint's Church
Chapter 251: Entering the Saint's Church
Fu Ling opened his mouth and his heart beat faster, but he didn't show it on his face.
After a long while, he finally squeezed out a word.
"it is good."
Seeing that he agreed, Ruan Xihe turned around and looked around. When he found that there was no one around, he smiled slyly.
She smiled and said, "You don't even ask what I can do for you?"
Fu Ling was stunned. He really hadn't thought about it.
Moreover, looking at her expression, Fu Ling felt as if he had fallen into a huge trap she had set.
“I…”
"I believe that the great Emperor will not go back on his word."
Before he could finish his words, Ruan Xihe didn't even give him a chance to speak. He grabbed his sleeve and pulled him into the city.
In order to avoid being seen by his seniors from the same college, Ruan Xihe used two invisibility talismans and took Fu Ling back to the inn through the back door.
She settled Fu Ling in her room.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."
Fu Ling's lips moved slightly, but before he could say anything, Ruan Xihe rushed out of the room and closed the door with a bang.
He looked at the door that was slammed shut and fell silent.
After coming out of the room, Ruan Xihe ran into Dai Yan who had just come out of another room.
Dai Yan's attitude was not very friendly when she saw her, but she still remembered her identity as a disciple of the academy and told Ruan Xihe about the current situation.
"They are inside, and my brother is looking after them. You can go in and take a look."
As they passed each other, Dai Yan reluctantly stopped and spoke word by word.
"I can't find out what's wrong with them. Now, you're the only one left here."
If anyone in the team has a health problem or is injured or poisoned, they need an alchemist to check and give them the corresponding elixir.
Their Qingcheng Academy team only had three alchemists in the team.
Jimo Qianyi, Dai Yan, and her.
Now that Jimo Qianyi is in a coma and Dai Yan can't find any problems, everyone's hope naturally rests on Ruan Xihe.
"Thank you. Got it."
Ruan Xihe responded and pushed the door open.
Inside the room, three unconscious people were lying on the bed, and beside the bed sat a senior brother with a worried look on his face, sighing constantly.
Seeing Ruan Xihe pushing the door open, the senior brother jumped up from the bed reflexively.
"Little...Junior Sister."
"You've come just in time. Come and take a look at the three of them."
Although Ruan Xihe was his junior sister, after spending the past few days together, he had already regarded Ruan Xihe as the captain.
Even Xia Yuanbai followed her lead, so she was naturally more prestigious than the captain in this team...
Ruan Xihe walked to the bedside, checked on a few people, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
She said to her senior brother beside her: "They are fine, they are just dreaming while sleeping."
"Ah?" The senior brother scratched his head in confusion.
How does he feel...
Are you kidding, Junior Sister?
How could someone not wake up from a dream? They had tried various methods to wake the three people up, but none of them worked. Could it be that they were simply dreaming after falling asleep?
Seeing his senior brother's confused expression, Ruan Xihe kindly explained.
"They were in a hallucination."
"So that's how it is." The senior brother looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
In the middle illusion, people are indeed like those who are asleep and dreaming. There is no harm to the body, but it is hard to say whether or not and when they will wake up.
The senior brother secretly glanced at Ruan Xihe.
Unexpectedly, the junior sister is not only as gentle, kind and capable as she appears, but she is actually quite humorous.
After Ruan Xihe finished speaking, a few fourth-grade Qingxin Pills appeared in his hand.
She ordered her senior brother to forcefully pry open the three people's mouths, and threw the pills in with a somewhat rough movement.
"Okay, now they should be able to wake up by night."
After that, she patted her brother on the shoulder and said as if entrusting him with an important task: "Brother, I'll ask you to look after them here. I have something to do outside."
Seeing Ruan Xihe's serious expression, the senior brother immediately patted his chest and made a promise.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister. I will take good care of them. Just go with peace of mind!"
Ruan Xihe: “…”
Why does it sound like sending her off?
When she returned to the room, Fu Ling had his back to her.
He stood by the window, his eyelashes cast shadows on his face by the sunlight filtering through the window, as beautiful as an ink painting.
Ruan Xihe couldn't bear to call him and ruin the scenery.
But when he heard the sound at the door, Fu Ling turned around first.
"coming?"
"Ah."
Ruan Xihe lowered his head and responded softly.
Thinking about what she would ask Fu Ling to do later, she felt guilty and didn't dare to look up at him, so she touched her nose.
Seeing her acting so abnormal, Fu Ling couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you needed my help with something?"
"Ah."
Ruan Xihe raised her head and glanced at him secretly, then quickly looked away and nodded before meeting his eyes.
She said, "Fu Ling, you know why I'm here, right?"
"know."
Fu Ling stood upright in front of the window, his posture becoming increasingly cold and elegant.
As everyone knows, the disciples of Nanzhan College, apart from taking classes on campus, go out on missions.
Since she is not in the academy now, she can only accept a certain mission.
Not to mention, Wuqing was by her side, so he naturally knew why she came here.
"You know, that's easy!"
Ruan Xihe clapped his hands and a smile appeared on his face.
She came to the window, grabbed Fu Ling's wrist, and pulled him to sit at the table.
When her fingertips touched his cold wrist, Ruan Xihe felt as if she had touched a large ice cube. Her hands were a little cold, and she almost subconsciously pulled her hand back.
Fu Ling allowed himself to sit down at the table as arranged by Ruan Xihe. He only felt the temperature of the fingertips of the little hand pinching his wrist was a little hot, as hot as fire.
And the temperature continued to spread from his wrist to his entire body.
Ruan Xihe continued speaking only after he sat down.
"Recently, haven't there been many mummies and human skins in Qingcheng and several nearby cities? After my investigation, I found that this matter may have something to do with the Saint Maiden Cult."
"But the Saint Maiden Cult is located on the cliff of Longyang Mountain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You can only enter through the main gate. So I want you to help me enter the Saint Maiden Cult."
Fu Ling raised his eyebrows.
He had heard about the matter that Ruan Xihe was investigating.
However, he didn't care about it, but if she wanted to check, he could help her.
"You want me to take you in?"
"Yes..." Ruan Xihe's face wrinkled, as if he was thinking about how to say it more appropriately, "No..."
She hesitated for a long time, and finally went directly to Fu Ling, bent down, covered her mouth with her hand, and slowly spoke in his ear, telling him her plan in full.
"I want you to..."
After hearing Ruan Xihe's words, Fu Ling just threw his sleeves and stood up.
There was a hint of sullenness on his face, the tips of his ears were slightly red, and his fair cheeks were slightly stained with pink, perhaps out of shame or anger, and the pink even extended to his neck.
"impossible!"
"I will never do such a thing!"
