After enduring the pain all night, I woke up in a daze when the cold wind blew on my face in the early morning of the next day.

Outside the window, the drizzle drifting at some point made the air spread with a damp and fresh smell. Even the busy bustle of the village in the past few days seems to have become quiet in such a drizzle.

It was a rare time of peace, and I opened my eyes nostalgically and looked out the window.

Now, my wounds are numb and itchy, and my hands have become extremely sore after being tied overnight, but I have to admire that the cultivator's elixir is indeed extremely effective.

After Helian Guang left last night, it didn't take long for a grandmother to come. She moved quickly, and tied my hands with a rope in three strokes and two strokes, which was also ordered by Helian Guang.

Since I was always lying on my stomach, I couldn't see what the so-called cultivator's elixir looked like, but with the sound of Mama opening the lid of the elixir, I smelled a special smell.

It's like a kind of fragrance mixed with plants and trees, mixed with a special spicy, faintly flowing in the air, but I can't tell which kind of plants and trees it is, I can only feel the smell of a mixture of many varieties.

As that special breath spread through the air, the mama began to really medicate me.

When the cold ointment touched my skin, I first felt an incomparably hot sensation coming from the wound, like a handful of salt sprinkled on the wound, exacerbating the tearing pain that penetrated deep into the flesh.

I couldn't stand it, sweat was pouring from my forehead, and I didn't know how long the pain would last, like a wound had been torn open again.

But just when I thought I couldn't bear it anymore, the tearing pain began to fade more and more, I thought I was numb, but I unexpectedly felt a cool feeling slowly spreading through the wound.

The feeling was indescribably comfortable, even the pain of the wound was temporarily forgotten by me, but immersed in the comfort and infinite comfort brought to me by the coolness, I felt that my skin and flesh seemed to be healing faster.

Is this the elixir of cultivators?

Just as I was in a trance, feeling the magic of this cultivator's elixir, Helian Guang had already pushed the door into the room, interrupting my thoughts.

Tomorrow is not long after dawn, it is rare for him to get up so early, in the face of my cold gaze, he did not care at all, stepped forward, pretending to be gentle for me to untie the rope tied to my hand.

"It's not nice to have your wrists tied, right? If I hadn't thought that you would despise your body again, I wouldn't have told Mama to tie you up. You see, such a white wrist has been strangled with red marks, and I am also distressed. ”

Helian Guang untied the rope on my wrist and said with a pretending of pity, "Get up and go out with me." After all, you are also my Helian Guang's person now. ”

"When did I become your man?" I couldn't help but feel disgusted, and asked rhetorically.

Helian Guang didn't answer my question directly, but said, "I know how effective the cultivator's elixir is. There should be no problems with your basic actions now, I hope you don't work against me. Although I like the way you occasionally resist, it's not completely without a bottom line. ”

No matter how much I disliked Helian Guang, his words were true, my wounds were indeed half healed, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that I could walk around the ground.

As for him saying that he would take me out, although I was unwilling in my heart, there was no need to disobey him at this time and fight against him. Go out, go out, and he won't be able to do anything to me this early in the morning.

I didn't pay any attention to Helian Guang, but silently put on my shoes and stood up, Helian Guang seemed to be satisfied with my attitude, and didn't mind if I talked to him, and walked out of the room with my hands behind my back.

In the village in the morning, there was still a misty drizzle in the sky, but how could this drench Helian light? At the same time as he went out, a subordinate had already followed Helian Guang with an umbrella.

Even behind me, a subordinate appeared to make an umbrella for me, and I couldn't help but sigh, is this a phoenix flying on a branch?

In the drizzling village, there were not many people, and Helian Guang led me to the back of the village. It's a place I rarely set foot in, except the last time I was taken through a hidden path to the back of the village, and I never came again.

This time, Helian Guang took me a different route, and after passing through a small wood, a complex of buildings that I had never seen before appeared in front of me.

Compared to the buildings in the village, it is obviously much more exquisite, and when you walk in it, you can faintly feel a trace of aura flowing in the air, which is much thicker than the faint aura in the village.

Helian Guang led me into one of the complexes, and I didn't expect that there was a hidden eatery here, much more beautifully built than the crude canteen in the village.

When I entered this small restaurant, there were already a few people seated, and I found that the people sitting here were not clan elders, but the upper cultivators in the village, and it turned out that they were not eating in the big cafeteria in the village at all, but eating in this small restaurant.

Helian Guang took me to sit down in a seat, eating here, naturally very enjoyable, there were already people on the side to prepare meals, when you sat down, those meals were naturally served in front of your eyes.

A bowl of green stem porridge, several plates of exquisite side dishes, meat and vegetarian combinations, and even an elaborate dim sum at the end.

I can't help but feel that the food here is much more advanced than the big cafeteria. For example, the bowl of blue stem porridge is no less than the standard I prepare for Shen Xinglin on weekdays, and there are all kinds of precious medicinal materials in it. But the magic of the seasoning only makes the porridge full of a faint fragrance, and there is no astringent medicinal taste.

I was silent for breakfast. Helian Guang has been immersed in his satisfaction, I think, he may really be yy, is it that Lin Ruolan is having breakfast with him?

After quickly finishing breakfast, Helian Guang led me to the most secret building in the back of the village.

It turned out to be a secret council chamber. This is new, I feel that the really important people in the village are all active behind the village, and it is not surprising that the aura here is more abundant.

I followed Helian Guang into this council room, only to find that there were already quite a few people sitting inside.

They were all clan elders in the village, and some important upper-level cultivators, even the patriarch was among them. I didn't bother to think about what Helian Guang had brought me here for, but my eyes suddenly saw Shen Xinglin sitting in the midst of a group of cultivators.

Regarding the appearance of me and Helian Guang, Shen Xinglin's face was calm, so that people couldn't see any clues, and they didn't even look at me.

But this kind of calm makes me feel a little uneasy, is it because of Helian Guang's identity, she let me go? But I don't think Shen Xinglin is such a generous person.

I can only go with the flow, since there is no way back, the rest is just luck.

The atmosphere in the council hall was silent, and people came in one after another, until the clan elders in the village arrived, and it was estimated that after those upper-level cultivators also arrived, Helian Guang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip lightly.

And the patriarch said to Helian Guang below: "Helian Prince, the important people in the village have arrived. ”

Helianguang, who was holding the tea bowl, nodded, then put down the teabowl and said loudly: "The people have arrived, and I, Helianguang, will not talk nonsense." I'm afraid everyone here knows that I, Helian Guang, came to your clan this time, ostensibly to borrow the spiritual spring, but in fact to seek cooperation. ”

Everyone in the council hall was silent, because it was not their turn to answer, but the patriarch nodded, but looked at me with a taboo gaze.

I bowed my head and pretended to know nothing, but Helian Guang smiled and said, "Don't worry about an ordinary person, not to mention that she is already my person." ”

It's ambiguous, but I can't refute it in such a place, and I don't care about refuting it, anyway, I didn't suffer.

After receiving Helian Guang's affirmative answer, everyone in the hall began to deliberate. I wasn't interested in what they were discussing, but I was helpless to stand in the hall and hear something all the time.

To put it simply, it's just that the people from the Shen family are gambling. They bet all their treasures on Helian Guang's body, expecting that after he ascended to the throne, these people from the Shen family's side would be able to ascend to heaven.

Some of these ambitions naturally come at a price. Helian Guang was not polite, the conditions proposed were almost harsh, in short, to cooperate, it meant that all the people in the Shen family's side would become his secret subordinates. The most valuable spiritual spring in the village will also belong to Helian Guang, and he will use it to cultivate his henchmen, and of course, these henchmen also include the Shen clan.

It's an undercurrent meeting, after all, everyone wants to get enough for themselves.

Seriously, hearing this doesn't really do me half of the good, and maybe I might be in more complicated danger. Even if I can get away with it, maybe there will be more Helian Guang and Shen clans on the list of enemies in the future.

I understand the truth of guilt, but I don't have a choice.

Moreover, I was still wondering whether I would have the last laugh in this gamble, and as time passed, my situation became more and more unfavorable.

But nothing would have been left to my will, and in the midst of such bargaining, the meeting soon proceeded until noon. Finally decided on the form of cooperation between the two sides, Helian Guang's mood was greatly relaxed, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't want to At this time, Shen Xinglin, who had always been calm, finally stood up.

She looked at Helian Guang and said, "For our clan to reach a cooperation with Helian Prince, the little girl Shen Xinglin is very happy. But there was one thing, like a fish in her throat, and the little woman had to dare to bring it up to Helian Gongzi. ”

"Xinglin, what are you doing? Go back! Seeing this, the patriarch couldn't help but scold Shen Xinglin.

But Shen Xinglin didn't retreat at all, just looked at Helian Guang. And Helian Guang didn't get angry, but was silent for a while before he looked at Shen Xinglin and said, "What's the matter?" You say. ”
