Eternal Life as False Emperor

Chapter 463: Chapter 372: The Martial World Is Not Just Killing and Fighting

Seeing Bai Zhirui happily chatting and laughing with Lin Feng, a cold and severe look flashed through Su Yao’s eyes, disappearing in an instant.

She quietly took two steps forward, intentionally or unintentionally, standing right between Lin Feng and Bai Zhirui.

Blocking Lin Feng and occasionally stealing glances at Bai Zhirui.

"Your life-saving grace, Fellow Daoist, Su Yao will not forget, and shall greatly repay you one day."

"It was just by chance for me too, we are all Human Race Cultivators, none of us would stand idly by." Bai Zhirui said with a wave and a smile.

Always felt this Female Cultivator in front of her was being overly polite.

Cough cough!

While exchanging pleasantries, Wuu Shouyi of Chibi Mountain turned pale, suddenly vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood and nearly falling.

Clutching his chest, he weakly spoke to Bai Zhirui, "Fellow Daoist, we are all severely injured, please protect us for a while, allowing us the time to cultivate and heal."

They were all acting favorably, such a request Bai Zhirui naturally would not refuse, and promised readily.

"I still have some Healing Elixirs here, if you all don’t mind..."

Lin Feng hurriedly refused, "We appreciate your kindness, Fellow Daoist, but we already owe you our lives, how could we accept your elixirs now?"

Bai Zhirui thought perhaps they found it embarrassing to use his elixirs.

After all, she followed her master’s instructions to appear only at the last moment.

If a moment later, those few people might have perished on the spot.

Their injuries were certainly dire.

She truly feared something might happen to these people.

Otherwise, the efforts she and her master made would be in vain?

Just as she planned to persuade further, Zheng Yi suddenly spoke, "Don’t persuade anymore, being overly enthusiastic isn’t necessarily a good thing."

Though the reasoning was sound, Bai Zhirui somehow felt her master had a hidden meaning in his words.

Trusting her master, Bai Zhirui said nothing more.

She took the initiative to shoulder the task of Protector.

The three sat cross-legged, took their remaining elixirs, and began cultivating to heal.

The two men’s actions were swift, quickly entering a cultivation meditation state.

Only Su Yao seemed to be cultivating to heal, but with eyes slightly open, she never stopped watching Bai Zhirui.

A good while passed, seemingly assured Bai Zhirui meant no harm, she then focused on her cultivation to heal.

"Alright, now that these people have started working on their healing, you needn’t worry too much about them." Su Yang’s words sounded in Bai Zhirui’s mind.

Bai Zhirui barely breathed a sigh of relief.

The tension was all due to Zheng Yi’s words.

"Keeping guarded thoughts is necessary, no matter who you’re facing, keep vigilance at the utmost level."

Bai Zhirui wanted to argue, but Zheng Yi coldly laughed, "What? Disagree? Think carefully about that woman called Su Yao."

"Are her actions not without some irrationality?"

Bai Zhirui, after all, was Zheng Yi’s carefully chosen disciple, excellent in many ways beyond the average.

It’s only due to age, her Martial World experience was lacking.

Prompted by Zheng Yi, Bai Zhirui keenly sensed something amiss.

During their conversation, indeed, Su Yao exhibited odd little movements.

She never thought in that direction before, but now reminded by her master, Bai Zhirui felt her back break out in a cold sweat.

"Master, do you mean?"

"Don’t overthink, she might not necessarily want to harm you." Zheng Yi chuckled coldly twice.

"It should be no big deal, probably Su Yao felt the kid named Lin Feng might fancy you, so she felt a bit jealous, that’s all."

"They can travel together and at the critical moment Lin Feng requested to stay behind, it’s hard to believe there’s nothing special about their relationship."

"Now, that Su Yao is still sneakily watching you."

Bai Zhirui suddenly understood, speaking to Zheng Yi with mixed feelings, "Master, with your mysterious manner, I thought it was something serious. I’ll keep a distance from Fellow Daoist Lin in the future."

Bai Zhirui communicated in her spirit space with Zheng Yi, naturally Su Yao hadn’t noticed a thing.

To her, Bai Zhirui seemed to be resting with eyes closed, hence she gradually let down her guard and began meditation cultivation.

Unknowing that Zheng Yi had severely admonished Bai Zhirui.

"Do you understand? I doubt you know anything! Let me ask you, why did you give them your elixirs earlier?"

???

Bai Zhirui wore a helpless look, "They were injured, through the earlier battle their healing elixirs should have been consumed greatly, giving them elixirs was naturally hoping they could recover strength soon."

Zheng Yi lightly snorted, "You just looked at the situation from your perspective, if it were you, someone just saved your life and warmly offered their elixirs to aid your recovery."

"Would you gladly accept, or suspect this overly enthusiastic person had ulterior motives?"

"I..." Bai Zhirui just opened her mouth, but couldn’t continue.

She suddenly realized her master’s words were indeed reasonable.

If it were her, she would likely feel the other side seemed somewhat suspicious, overly enthusiastic, as if secretly pursuing something.

Seeing Bai Zhirui in deep thought, Zheng Yi silently approved.

Compared to others previously, Bai Zhirui’s comprehension alone was far superior, understanding many things at once.

"I understand, Master, though I feel there might be nothing, Fellow Daoist Su might believe me and Fellow Daoist Lin are too close, possibly feeling jealousy and might act against me."

"Not necessarily, it’s just my estimate."

Zheng Yi shifted topics, "Now here we’re unfamiliar with everything, be extremely cautious with all affairs."

"Avoid trouble meticulously, then you’ll tread further."

"I understand, Master." Bai Zhirui nodded emphatically.

Despite their major consumption, everyone had multiple lifesaving means.

After a brief recovery, they swiftly took Bai Zhirui away from this place of trouble.

Just after they left, less than an hour had passed when dozens of Nether Spirit Race Cultivators rushed in.

"Damned, we’re late."

Through the traces left from the Nether Spirit Race Cultivators’ demise, they quickly restored the battlefield scenario.

Their side suffered enormous losses, shockingly, some Human Race Cultivators even managed to escape from here.

Among them, an ominous-eyed Nether Spirit Race Cultivator sneered disdainfully, "Having prepared beforehand, yet unable to capture these Human Race Cultivators, annihilated themselves and let those humans escape, such useless fools."
