【Dreaming Back to the Martial World】Volume 1, Chapter 2

Lei Ding's face contorted with rage as he gritted his teeth and said, "You actually dared to kill our men? Kid, I'll make you wish you were
dead..."
Li Lang scoffed indifferently, "What a joke! You're allowed to kill, but we're not allowed to kill you?
Who do you think you are? The Emperor himself..."
Lei Ding screamed wildly, "So what if you have the Divine Fire Gun? Even with its immense power, it's only one shot
... Get him! Capture him alive! I want to skin him alive..."
"Skin me alive, and you can ask the King of Hell for that. Maybe he'll negotiate with you..." Li Lang
said coldly, pulling the trigger on Lei Ding.
With a 'bang,' Lei Ding was struck as if by a heavy hammer, hit at close range by a large-caliber pistol like the Desert Eagle
. A gaping hole was blasted through his chest.
Lei Ding, his face filled with utter horror, collapsed heavily to the ground. This sudden scene shocked
everyone present. Tang Ling's face lit up with immense joy. She was about to speak when the third brother seized the opportunity,
striking her shoulder with a palm strike. She coughed up blood and staggered back several steps.
After injuring Tang Ling with his palm strike, the third brother reached into his robes, pulled out a flintlock pistol, and fired at Li Lang.
Li Lang merely leaned back slightly, but his retaliatory shot caused him to suffer the same fate as the fifth brother—
his head exploded like an egg, blood and brains splattering out.
"Impossible! How could his fire-breathing gun fire three times in a row?" one of the Seven Star Fiends exclaimed in shock and horror
.
But something even more terrifying happened next. The Seven Star Fiend who had just cried out in alarm
had a large hole appear in his chest after Li Lang's gunshot wound.
"Seventh Brother!" Of the Seven Star Fiends of the Thunderbolt Hall's Yellow Group, only two remained in the blink of an eye. One of them, perhaps overwhelmed by the shock
, didn't even think of running away. Instead, he abruptly turned to face Li Lang, reaching into his robes.
Another "bang!" echoed as
Li Lang blew the Seven Star Fiend's head off as he tried to draw his gun. Li Lang then aimed his gun at the last remaining man. The man seemed terrified, and being some distance away,
he immediately rolled on the spot and darted into the woods upon seeing Li Lang's gun pointed at him. He
was fast, but Li Lang was faster. The instant he disappeared into the woods, a bullet whistled past his back.
Fortunately, he wasn't destined to die. Just before Li Lang fired, he turned and disappeared behind a large tree. The bullet grazed his
arm and struck a tree, sending splinters flying. The Seven Star Fiend who had narrowly escaped death groaned
and vanished into the woods.
Li Lang holstered his pistol, walked to the body of the fourth brother, and retrieved his dagger. He then quickly approached Ge Ying,
noticing a large patch of her upper garment stained with blood, and asked with concern, "Ge...Ge Fairy, how are you?"
Ge Ying, clutching her wound, frowned and said, "I'm...I'm alright. Thank you...Brother Li for saving me."
Tang Ling approached, her face also pale, but wary, her eyes filled with suspicion as she asked
Li Lang, "Brother Li, how do you possess such a powerful weapon? Those firearms are closely guarded secrets of the Thunderbolt Hall. Even
the firearms of the Imperial Guards and the Divine Machine Battalion are far inferior in power to those of the Thunderbolt Hall. Why is
the firearm in your hand so terrifyingly powerful?"
Ge Ying softly replied, "Cousin, we were able to escape this time entirely thanks to Brother Li's rescue. How can you doubt
him?"
Li Lang asked, puzzled, "These things aren't difficult to make. Almost everyone in our area knows how to make them. What's so strange about that?"
"What?" Tang Ling exclaimed, quickly asking, "Brother Li, what sect do you belong to?"
Just then, a sharp whistle rang out from the distant woods, and a signal arrow flew into the air, exploding with a bang.
The blue flames from the explosion were clearly visible even in daylight.
Tang Ling's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "A signal arrow from the Thunderbolt Hall!"
"Could it be used to summon reinforcements?" Li Lang asked curiously.
"Exactly, we must leave this place quickly," Ge Ying said urgently.
"Don't be afraid. If those who come are just as useless as before, we don't need to worry about any number of them," Li Lang
said confidently.
"No, just now Lei Ding and his group were careless and underestimated their opponent, which is why you killed them so easily.
The real terror of the Thunderbolt Hall's Seven Star Fiends lies in their formation against the enemy. Once you are entangled by their formation, the slightest carelessness will lead to defeat
and death. Although you have divine weapons, my cousin and I are both injured, and we may implicate you,"
Ge Ying said.
Seeing her head bowed, brows furrowed, and face pale, Li Lang feared she would bleed to death if she wasn't treated soon. Turning his head,
he saw Tang Ling also pale, with blood at the corner of her mouth. He asked, "Miss Tang, can you still walk?"
Tang Ling replied, "I was struck by the Thunderbolt Hall's 'Thunderfire Palm,' but fortunately, the attacker wasn't very skilled and could suppress
it. Walking won't be a problem."
"So, it would be a problem if we were to fight?" Li Lang thought to himself. Without further hesitation, he said,
"Alright, let's leave here first and find a place to remove the bullet from Fairy Ge. But I don't know the way, so
you'll have to guide me."
With that, he helped Ge Ying up, and before she could react, he was on his back. Ge Ying blushed deeply
and couldn't help but gasp softly.
"What's wrong? Did you touch your wound? I'm sorry, I was so careless," Li Lang
said apologetically, thinking he had touched her wound.
"No...no. Thank you, Brother Li. Let's...let's go," Ge Ying said, blushing.
"Wait..." Tang Ling suddenly said, running to the corpses to look at them. Finally, she picked up the musket from Lei Ding's hand
and ran back, saying, "Let's go."
Li Lang asked curiously, "What are you doing taking that? You're interested in dead people's things?"
Tang Ling rolled her eyes at him and said, "The Lei family of the Thunderbolt Hall has unparalleled firearms in the martial arts world. They're incredibly powerful. Only
elite disciples are issued them. Our Tang Clan has tried to imitate them many times but failed. This Divine Fire Gun is a masterpiece. I'm taking it
back to the Seven Absolutes Hall of our sect so they can study it carefully. Maybe then they can imitate it."
Li Lang rolled his eyes again and stopped talking. He lifted Ge Ying's delicate body higher on his back and followed behind Tang Ling quickly.
He walked on.
***********************************
After walking for three or four hours, he arrived at a mountain hollow where a small stream flowed gently from the depths of the hollow.
Li Lang looked up at the sky; it was almost afternoon. He stopped Tang Ling and said, "We
've walked dozens of miles already. This can't go on. We need to find a place to remove the bullet from your cousin's wound and
apply medicine to stop the bleeding."
Tang Ling stopped and asked, "There's a market two hours from here. That's the only place
we can find a doctor."
Li Lang objected, "We can't wait any longer. If we wait until those two markets you mentioned, I'm afraid she'll lose too much blood. Even if it
's not life-threatening, it'll take a long time to recover."
Tang Ling asked, "Can you remove the bullet?"
Li Lang said, "I can remove it from a clean place. But you need to prepare some medicine
to stop the bleeding."
Tang Ling said, "I have the best wound medicine; it's a secret recipe from my Tang Clan."
Li Lang looked around and saw a large rock lying across the stream, its surface flat enough for a
person to lie down. He pointed and said, "Let's go over there, on that rock."
He then carried Ge Ying on his back, waded across the stream, and walked to the large rock. Tang Ling helped him lift Ge Ying off his back and
lay her down on the boulder, saying, "Brother Li, I'm entrusting my cousin to you. I need to meditate and regulate my breathing for a while."
She then took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to him, saying, "This is a secret wound medicine from my Tang Clan; it has miraculous
effects in stopping bleeding and healing injuries."
Tang Ling placed the bottle in his hand, turned around, found another large rock, sat cross-legged on it, took out a pill
, swallowed it, and then closed her eyes to begin regulating her breathing.
Li Lang turned to Ge Ying and said, "Fairy Ge, how are you feeling?"
Ge Ying blushed and said, "Brother Li, there's no need to be so formal; just call me by my name, Ge Ying."
Li Lang smiled and said, "Actually, it's not wrong for others to call you that. Only someone as beautiful
and elegant as you deserves the title of 'Fairy.'"
A hint of shyness flashed across Ge Ying's face, and she did not reply. Li Lang drew his dagger and said to her, "Miss Ge Ying,
I'm going to remove the bullet from your wound. It might hurt a lot, so please bear with it."
Ge Ying nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Li, please do as you say."
"Then I'll have to apologize." Li Lang reached out to unbutton her clothes. When Ge Ying saw him reach out, she instinctively
dodged to the side. "Brother Li... this..."
Li Lang was also a little embarrassed and said awkwardly, "If you don't take off your clothes, I can't see where the wound is..."
Ge Ying was even more embarrassed, her neck turning red. She bit her cherry lips shyly and said in a soft voice,
"It was my fault, please forgive me, Brother Li. Or... or let me do it myself."
"My wound... is below my left shoulder." Ge Ying trembled as she reached out and unbuttoned her top, taking off her outer
garment and undergarment, revealing her smooth, creamy shoulders. Her close-fitting bodice clung tightly to her full breasts, creating
a deep cleavage.
Below her left shoulder, above her swollen left breast, a finger-sized hole was slowly bleeding
, soaking her clothing.
Li Lang gently pried open the wound with his left hand, locating the bullet's position. He said thankfully, "Thankfully, the bullet
didn't puncture a blood vessel. Otherwise, it would have flowed into her heart with her bloodstream in moments. At that point, her life
would be in danger."
Ge Ying knew she had narrowly escaped death today, all thanks to the man before her. Recalling the moment when Seven Star
Fiend Fifth Brother had pointed his musket at her, that life-or-death moment, if he hadn't sacrificed himself to shield her from the bullet,
she would likely be dead. A surge of emotion welled up in her heart, and she said, "If it weren't for Brother Li today,
my cousin and I would probably be dead. I have no way to repay your life-saving grace..."
Li Lang smiled and said, "Don't talk about repayment... In that situation, any man would have
done the same..."
Ge Ying sincerely said, "Brother Li is truly a chivalrous man..."
Li Lang looked up at her and said, "Miss Ge Ying, I'll remove the bullet for you now. Unfortunately, I don't have any special
tweezers, so I can only use a knife to pick the bullet out. It might hurt a lot, so you must bear it. Don't
move around, otherwise the bullet will shift and it will be difficult to remove it again."
Ge Ying's left hand was pressed against her wound, and half of her breast was pressed down by his palm. The
place where his palm was pressing seemed to be emitting waves of electricity, making half of her body go numb. Her face flushed, she said,
"Brother Li, please go ahead and do it. A little pain is bearable..."
Hearing this, Li Lang took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and held the dagger over the flame. Ge Ying, however,
was attracted by the lighter in his hand and said curiously, "Brother Li's tinderbox has such an ingenious mechanism! You don't even need to
blow on it; just turning the mechanism produces a flame."
Li Lang smiled and said, "Where we come from, this is just an ordinary little gadget; everyone has one."
"Such an exquisite creation, yet it's just an ordinary little gadget where they come from, and everyone has one. And
he doesn't seem to cherish his sword, which can cut through iron like mud. And he has a fire-generating
gun whose power far surpasses that of the Thunderbolt Hall and can fire multiple times in succession..." Ge Ying couldn't help but secretly speculate about Li Lang's background.
Li Lang put away the lighter and, while waiting for the dagger to cool down, started chatting with her.
Ge Ying was eager to learn more about his background through his words, so she began to talk to him.
After chatting for a while, Li Lang, taking advantage of Ge Ying's inattention, suddenly struck. His left hand tightened its grip, while his right hand
flashed with a cold light as he swiftly inserted the dagger into Ge Ying's wound and removed the lead pellet.
Ge Ying twisted in pain, and then heard Li Lang exhale a long breath, saying, "It's done. Lead itself
is poisonous; prolonged contact with blood would definitely cause infection. Now, all you need is some medicine, and a few days of rest will be enough for it to heal
."
Li Lang put down the knife, and as he was holding the pea-sized lead pellet and remarking on its effectiveness, he heard Ge Ying...
A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Thank you, Brother Li... but... Brother Li, could you... please take your hand back
..."
"Uh?" Li Lang looked up and saw Ge Ying staring at him, her face flushed crimson. He then looked at his left
hand, which was pressed against her swollen left breast. It turned out that when the bullet was removed, Ge Ying had
twisted in pain, and Li Lang's hand had slipped onto her chest.
Li Lang quickly withdrew his hand as if electrocuted, awkwardly changing the subject, saying, "Um
... the bullet's out. Let me apply the medicine for you."
Ge Ying's head was almost touching her chest as she whispered, "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Li..."
Li Lang quickly took out the wound medicine Tang Ling had given him, cleaned the blood around Ge Ying's wound, and then
sprinkled the powder on it. The Tang Clan's secret wound medicine was indeed remarkably effective; upon contact with the wound, a medicinal film quickly formed
, stopping the bleeding.
Ge Ying stammered, "Brother Li... I'll have to trouble you to turn your back... so I can put on...
my clothes."
Li Lang turned around and heard rustling behind him for a while before Ge Ying's voice rang out: "That's enough.
My cousin and I escaped this calamity entirely thanks to Brother Li's rescue. I will never forget this kindness."
Li Lang turned around and said, "Don't be so polite, don't make it sound so serious..."
Ge Ying said solemnly, "Saving my life is like giving me a second chance, how could I not always keep it in mind..."
Li Lang was exasperated by her words and quickly said, "Alright, alright, Miss Ge, I understand. If you keep going,
you'll be offering yourself in marriage..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ge Ying became incredibly shy, and the atmosphere instantly became awkwardly romantic.
"Um...I...I was just kidding. Don't mind it," Li Lang said awkwardly. "Um...your
wound has just been treated, you should rest. I wonder how your cousin is, shall we go call her?"
"My cousin is practicing breathing exercises...it's not appropriate to disturb her right now, let's wait," Ge Ying said softly
, her head lowered, seemingly quite embarrassed by Li Lang's unintentional words.
Li Lang saw Tang Ling sitting cross-legged on the rock, motionless, her breasts rising and falling with her long breaths, completely
unresponsive to the outside world. Thinking they would have to wait, he found a rock and sat down.
At this moment, Ge Ying walked over, her face still flushed, and asked him, "Brother Li, I saw you were also
hit by the Divine Firearm earlier. I wonder if you are alright?"
"Oh, I'm fine. This nanomaterial bulletproof vest of mine can even stop sniper bullets. That old-fashioned
gunpowder gun wouldn't even leave a mark on it..." Li Lang waved his hand dismissively. Seeing Ge Ying's concerned expression
, he stood up and pointed it out to her. Sure enough, the spot where he had been hit by the gunshot didn't even leave a mark.
Ge Ying's beautiful eyes widened immediately, and she exclaimed, "Heavenly Silkworm Armor!?" "
Just a nanomaterial bulletproof vest," Li Lang said dejectedly.
"Brother Li, what sect are you from that you possess such a treasure?" Ge Ying asked in surprise.
"Uh, well, Fairy Ge, don't get excited yet. Be careful not to reopen your wound. Why don't we sit down and
chat slowly? And wait for your cousin to recover..." Li Lang advised.
Ge Ying said apologetically, "It was my fault for being impolite, please forgive me, Brother Li."
She then found a rock next to Tang Ling and sat down, saying, "I wonder what Brother Li would like to talk about?"
Li Lang closed his eyes, organized his thoughts, and said, "I was driven out by the people of my hometown,
and I don't know how I ended up here. I still don't understand what happened."
Ge Ying blinked, then said as if suddenly realizing something, "Brother Li, you were sent by your sect's seniors to travel the world
?"
"Uh!? You can interpret it that way if you want." Li Lang said helplessly. He understood now; if
he told her exactly how he got here, she would probably think he was crazy. Not to mention Ge
Ying, even he himself felt like he was dreaming.
"I see. Then Brother Li's treasured sword and armor, and your… that Fire God Spear, were they given to you by your sect's seniors
?" Ge Ying continued to ask.
"I suppose so," Li Lang replied, trying to figure out how to
communicate with her in a way she could understand.
"Brother Li, I...I have a favor to ask..." Ge Ying suddenly said hesitantly.
"What is it? Go ahead..."
"Brother Li, could you lend me your precious sword for a look?" Ge Ying asked.
"What's the big deal...Take it and look. I thought it was something important..." Li Lang said nonchalantly, then
took the dagger from his thigh and tossed it, sheath still attached, to Ge Ying.
Ge Ying reached out her delicate hand and caught it. A strange light flashed in her eyes. Such a precious sword
, and he gave it to her without hesitation. She couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Lang, seeing him smiling and staring
intently at her.
"Why is he looking at me so boldly?" Ge Ying's heart raced. She remembered
when he was healing her earlier, she had removed her clothes, revealing her shoulder, and his hand had been on her chest. Coupled with his bold gaze now, her heart
pounded even harder. There was seven parts shyness, two parts annoyance, and a tiny bit of sweetness.
Li Lang had no idea what the beautiful woman before him was thinking; he was simply admiring her,
sizing her up without realizing the ideological gap between their two eras.
Seeing his gaze still so 'bold,' Ge Ying's heart pounded even harder. She pretended not to notice and
drew Li Lang's dagger to examine it closely.
The two-foot-long blade was covered with patterns formed by repeated forging, the back was serrated, and the edge
reflected a cold, menacing light in the sunlight. On the handle was a relief of a dragon with bared fangs.
Ge Ying reached into her hair, pulled out a few strands, placed them on the blade, pursed her cherry lips, and
gently blew on them.
The strands immediately snapped in two. Li Lang was amused by her childlike action. Ge Ying gave him a reproachful look, then reluctantly sheathed
the dagger and returned it to him.
Li Lang took it and tucked it into his thigh as usual. Seeing that Tang Ling was still meditating, he said to Ge Ying, "Miss Ge,"
"While we're at it, could you tell me... for example, what sects exist in this martial arts world, or
what significant events have occurred here?"
Ge Ying said. "Since Brother Li has asked, I will certainly answer to the best of my knowledge. However, I grew up in my sect
and have only traveled around Sichuan and Hunan since then. Perhaps I could introduce you to the sects in Sichuan?"
"Thank you, I'm all ears," Li Lang said.
Ge Ying cleared her throat and said, "Let's start with the Tang Sect, where my cousin belongs. The Tang Sect is not only one of the major sects in Sichuan
, but also one of the seven great martial arts families..."
Li Lang interrupted, "Excuse me for interrupting, but what is a martial arts family?"
Ge Ying explained, "In the martial arts world, those who recruit disciples and teach their skills are called sects; while those that
are primarily family-based are called families. The Tang Sect and the Lei family of the Thunderbolt Hall are both martial arts families." "
And what are the other five families?" Li Lang asked.
Ge Ying said, "The Murong family of Gusu, the Nangong family of Guanzhong, the Situ family of Zhongzhou, the Dongfang family of Xiangyang,
the Peng family of Qingzhou in Shandong..."
Aside from the Murong family of Gusu, Li Lang was somewhat familiar with them. He seemed to only recognize the Nangong family from a TV series called *Lotus Rivalry*. He felt the other three families 　　rarely appeared
in the martial arts novels he had read . 　　 Ge Ying continued, "Unfortunately, I am ignorant and not very familiar with the other sects and families. Perhaps 　　you could introduce me to the sects in Sichuan?" 　　 "Alright, please continue," Li Lang said. 　　 "In eastern Sichuan, there are the Tang Clan, the Bashan Divine Arrow Clan, and the Jialing Gang; in central Sichuan, there are 　　the Emei Clan, Qingcheng Clan, Xiling Snow Mountain Clan, and Huanhua Sword Clan, all nine major martial arts sects; southern and western Sichuan are 　　the territory of the Yi, Miao, Tibetan, and other ethnic minorities, with few martial arts practitioners. We are currently located in the border area between Sichuan and Yunnan, a place where Han and Miao people 　　live together, locally called Xiaoye Mountain. The two most powerful sects in Yunnan are the Diancang Clan and the Five Poisons Sect," 　　Ge Ying explained knowledgeably. 　　 "This is the territory of the Five Poisons Sect, so how did you and the Thunderbolt Hall end up here?" Li Lang 　　asked curiously. 　　 "Actually, it's not just our Snow Mountain Sect, Tang Clan, and Thunderbolt Hall; I'm afraid people from all the major sects in the martial arts world have come 　　..." Ge Ying hesitated for a moment before saying, "In fact, the whole martial arts world has heard the news. The famous 'Ma 　　Yi Divine Calculator' has spread the word that a rare treasure and beast will appear in the Xiaoye Mountain area, so many martial artists 　　have flocked here." " 　　 'Ma Yi Divine Calculator'? Who is he? He says it exists, so why does everyone believe him? Aren't they afraid of 　　being deceived?" Li Lang asked curiously. 　　 "'Ma Yi Divine Calculator' is surnamed Yuan, and his given name is Zhongche. His father, Yuan Gong, was once honored as the National Preceptor by Emperor Taizong. Yuan Zhongche 　　inherited all of his father's skills, but he disliked officialdom and was indifferent to fame and fortune, so he lived in seclusion in the martial arts world. This person is proficient in astronomy, geography, 　　yin and yang, divination, and Qimen Dunjia, and is revered as a diviner in the martial arts world. Even the leaders of various sects treat him 　　with great respect." Ge Ying explained. 　　 "That's incredible?" Li Lang, who had received a modern scientific education and was also taught materialism, 　　had never believed in fortune-telling or divination. In his mind, anyone engaged in such professions was a 　　charlatan. 　　 "Master Yuan is always accurate, so it's because he spread the news of the rare treasure here that people in the martial arts world flock to it 　　," Ge Ying said, seeing his apparent disbelief. "Half a month ago, several disciples of the Diancang Sect did 　　encounter a strange beast in the mountains. It's said to be an ancient beast, the Fire Qilin, but it's still a child. Moreover, my cousin and I 　　personally witnessed a meteor streaked with celestial fire falling from the sky two nights ago, landing in the mountains around here. 　　Combining all of this, we can conclude that Master Yuan's words are true." "That's true." 　　 Li Lang's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Two nights ago? And in these mountains again... Could it 　　be referring to my helicopter? It even fell with heavenly fire, and I didn't get burned to death. But 　　what about the fire qilin she mentioned? These mythical creatures shouldn't exist in the world." 　　 Just then, Tang Ling's joyful voice rang in his ears, "Cousin, are you alright? I was so worried about you." 　　 Ge Ying also said happily, "Cousin, are you alright too?" 　　 "Yes, I feel much better after adjusting my breathing. Cousin, did you get the lead pellet out of your wound?" Tang Ling asked. 　　 "Of course, look who did it!" Li Lang said smugly. 　　 "Oh!" Tang Ling's eyes darted around, and she said slyly, "Then... wouldn't you two be in close physical contact 　　? Brother Li, do you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? You have to take responsibility for my cousin." 　　 Ge Ying's face immediately turned as red as blood, and she said reproachfully, "Cousin, what are you saying..." 　　 Li Lang laughed heartily and said, "I'd like to, but that depends on whether your cousin will let me take responsibility 　　..." 　　 Tang Ling raised her chin and said, "You wish! Do you know who my cousin is? 　　The Flying Fairy of the Snow Mountain Sect in Sichuan, one of the famous Ten Beauties of the Martial Arts World. If she were with you, wouldn't it be like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung..." 　　 Li Lang retorted, "Cow dung is fertilizer, it can make flowers more beautiful, don't you understand? But cow dung 　　is specially prepared for beautiful flowers. You want to stick it in cow dung? The cow dung won't allow it..." 　　 "You!..." Tang Ling was speechless with anger. 　　 Seeing the two of them locked in a tense standoff, Ge Ying quickly interjected, "Cousin, you're so good at talking to Brother Li ! 　　If it weren't for Brother Li today, who knows what would have happened to us?" 　　 Tang Ling turned to look at Li Lang, proudly raising her chin, and said nothing more. 　　 Ge Ying said apologetically to Li Lang, "Brother Li, please don't be offended. My cousin is spoiled by my uncle at home and has always been mischievous 　　." 　　 Li Lang chuckled and said, "Miss Tang, I was just joking. How could we take it seriously?" " 　　 Yes, yes, cousin. Li Lang and I were just joking," Tang Ling quickly said with a smile to Ge Ying. 　　Then she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, cousin! Your clothes are all stained with blood! We need to go to the market to 　　buy a new set of clothes to change into!"

Li Lang had already noticed this and said, "Yes. And since you're all injured, it's best to find a safe and comfortable
place to rest for a few days."
Ge Ying looked troubled and said, "But if I go into the city like this, my bloodstains will definitely attract attention."
"That's easy, just wear this coat of mine to cover up first..." Li Lang said, taking off his coat and handing it to Ge
Ying.
Ge Ying put on the coat, still warm from Li Lang's body, and was once again shocked: "Such a precious armor
, and he just lent it to me like that."
Li Lang hadn't expected to move Ge Ying so much again. He turned to Tang Ling and said, "Let's get this
straight, I don't have a single penny on me. You'll have to pay for food and lodging. I
heard those thugs calling you 'Miss Tang,' so you probably don't care about a little money, right?"
Tang Ling was surprised by his nonchalant attitude and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry about it. Just come with
us. We won't let you go hungry, and we won't make you sleep in the woodshed."
She then helped Ge Ying up, beckoned him to follow, and headed towards the market.
*******************************
The two women's injuries hadn't fully healed, so their pace was slower. By the time they reached the market, it was already evening.
Tang Ling stopped a clothing shop that was about to close and bought Ge Ying a change of clothes. The three of them then entered
the largest inn in town.
After dinner, Tang Ling asked for two superior rooms, one for Li Lang and the other for herself and Ge Ying.
Li Lang, having spent two days in the mountains, finally slept comfortably in bed again and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Ge Ying took a bath in her room, changed into her undergarments, sat on the edge of the bed, loosened her hair
, and prepared to go to bed. Tang Ling pounced on her from behind, draped her shoulders, and asked, "Cousin, is your wound no longer
painful?"
Ge Ying nodded and said, "It's much better now, all thanks to the Tang Clan's secret medicine."
"I think it's more than that. It's thanks to that person who risked his life to save you and, while treating your wounds, had physical contact with you . Cousin, I think you seem to have a lot of feelings for Brother Li..." Tang Ling 　　said
mischievously . 　　 Ge Ying blushed deeply and said reproachfully, "Cousin, what nonsense are you talking about? We only 　　met Brother Li today." 　　 "Sigh... Fate is unstoppable. We only met today, and he saved you. It seems like destiny has ordained us 　　." Tang Ling said with a smile, lying back on the soft bed. 　　 "Perhaps..." Ge Ying glanced at Li Lang's coat, which she had wiped clean and folded at the head of the bed, and 　　said with a complicated expression, lying down wearily on the bed. 　　 "Hey... Cousin. Has Brother Li told you about his background?" Tang Ling turned over on the bed, 　　propped her face up with her hand, and asked Ge Ying. 　　 "Background? Brother Li and I did talk about it... but he was vague. Maybe 　　it's due to the rules of the sect, or maybe he doesn't want to tell others about his background." Then, she 　　told Tang Ling about her conversation with Li Lang, including the lighter on Li Lang's body. 　　 After listening, Tang Ling frowned and pondered, "At first, I suspected that he was deliberately sent by the Thunderbolt Hall 　　to get close to us, but the firearms he has are definitely not something the Thunderbolt Hall could make. Especially 　　after he killed six Seven Star Fiends, if they really were the Yellow Group Seven Star Fiends of the Thunderbolt Hall, then Li Lang would definitely not be 　　someone sent by the Thunderbolt Hall, and the Thunderbolt Hall would treat him as a mortal enemy in the future." 　　 Ge Ying nodded in agreement and said, "I believe that Brother Li would definitely not have any connection with the Thunderbolt Hall." 　　 Tang Ling rolled her eyes at her cousin and said, "Is it because he saved you that you trust 　　him so much? I think you might as well just repay him with your body." 　　 "What are you talking about? We've brought this up again. Let's get serious..." Ge Ying scolded playfully. 　　 Tang Ling continued, "They have precious swords, invulnerable armor, and powerful firearms. 　　And even the tinder they carry are intricately designed...wait, even the tinder they carry has intricate 　　mechanisms!?" 　　 "Oh my, cousin. I think I've guessed a little bit..." Tang Ling suddenly exclaimed, excitedly 　　sitting up, almost unable to believe it herself. 　　 Ge Ying also sat up curiously and asked, "What have you guessed? That's right, the Tang Clan has countless 　　books; maybe there are clues. Tell me." 　　 Tang Ling said mysteriously, "Cousin, do you know? There's actually an extremely mysterious sect in this world." 　　 "What mysterious sect? Jingnian Zen Sect? Cihang Jingzhai? They have successors who enter the world every generation, and although 　　no one knows where their sect is, they can't be considered extremely mysterious." Ge Ying asked curiously. 　　 "No, no, it's much more mysterious than them," Tang Ling continued mysteriously. 　　 "Is there really such a mysterious sect?" Ge Ying asked skeptically. "Cousin, don't just guess." 　　 "I'm not guessing, and I'm not certain that Li Lang is the one," Tang Ling said. "Legend has it that this sect originated 　　during the Warring States period. After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he massacred its disciples. So they 　　went from the open to the shadows, hiding deep in the mountains and merging with the Mohist school. Therefore, the disciples of this sect not only possess strategic acumen but 　　are also proficient in mechanical arts. It's also said that Fan Zeng, who assisted Xiang Yu in overthrowing the Qin Dynasty, and 　　Zhang Liang and Han Xin, who assisted Liu Bang in gaining the Han Dynasty, were sent from this sect." 　　 Seeing Ge Ying staring at her intently, Tang Ling continued, "No..." Zhang Liang and Han Xin of the Former Han Dynasty, and 　　even Zhuge Liang of the Later Han Dynasty, are all said to be disciples of this school. Li Jing of the early Tang Dynasty and Liu Bowen of this dynasty were also followers.
