Chapter 10 Rescuing Xie Zimo Again

That day, Gu Shihan stopped by a stream at the foot of a cliff, planning to stay there for the night before heading towards the county town.

Although Gu Shihan was a cultivator, she could only be a mortal in the mortal world, and she was very troubled by that travel permit.

If your household registration is in Lingshan Village, it's very troublesome to get a document from the county magistrate; it makes finding a place to stay and buying property difficult.

Gu Shihan went to the county town this time to obtain a travel permit from the county government office.

With Gu Shihan's current skills, it would be easy for him to sneak into the government office and obtain a travel document. If all goes well, he could also get a household registration, thus severing his connection with Lingshan Village.

With a "thump!" someone jumped into the water from the cliff above, quickly turning the stream red.

Gu Shihan didn't intend to meddle, but when she looked up, she saw an old acquaintance, Xie Ziming.

What a pitiful child. Gu Shihan picked him up and quickly left the place, turning a few corners before arriving at a secluded spot.

They put the person down, checked their pulse, and found they were still alive, but had fallen into a coma due to poisoning.

He took out an antidote pill and fed it to Xie Ziming. This pill was produced by the space and melted in his mouth. Its medicinal effect was undeniable.

Yes, there are quite a few pills in the bamboo house in the space. The high-grade ones are unusable, but there are also some low-priced pills that Xing Bai found, which are just the ones that Gu Shihan can use.

Although the antidote pill is inexpensive, it is like a magic pill to ordinary people. I have tried several kinds of pills and the effects are very good. It is not an exaggeration to call them magic pills. For ordinary people, the curative effect is really like a divine medicine.

Less than fifteen minutes later, Xie Ziming woke up. He squinted at Gu Shihan for a long time before recognizing her.

It wasn't that he was blind; it was just that Gu Shihan had been living a good life lately, and had also been cultivating.

He would occasionally eat a fruit from the space, and he grew taller, his face became fuller, fairer, and more handsome, a far cry from his previous sallow and thin appearance.

"Xie Ziming, what's wrong with you? How long has it been and you're already like this, half-dead? If you hadn't been lucky enough to run into me, you would have either been poisoned or drowned," Gu Shihan said irritably.

"Cough cough... Brother Gu! What brings you to the county town? I... I had a spy among my men, my whereabouts were leaked, and I was poisoned. I escaped with the help of a few loyal guards, but we didn't get far before they caught up with us, so I had to jump off a cliff."

"Brother Gu, you saved my life again. Now I, Xie Zimo, owe you two lives." Xie Zimo shivered from the cold and coughed incessantly.

"Oh, your clothes are all wet. I'll go get you some clothes to change into." Gu Shihan quickly left, and at the corner, she took out a set of newly bought clothes and shoes from her jade ring and returned to Xie Ziming's side.

"Xie Zimo, this is a new one I bought, I've never worn it before, so it might be a little small. Just wear it for now, and change back when your clothes are dry. Don't mind that it's made of cotton." Gu Shihan smiled, put down the clothes, and walked away.

Xie Ziming didn't hesitate, grabbed the clothes and changed. When Shi Han returned, she burst out laughing.

The clothes looked too short and small on Xie Ziming, which was quite comical.

"Young man, not bad!" Xie Ziming smiled, then suddenly clutched his chest, exclaiming in surprise, "My poison? My poison is cured???"

"The poison has been neutralized for you! Fortunately, it wasn't a particularly potent poison, so it was easy to cure!" Gu Shihan said casually.

Xie Ziming glanced at Gu Shihan, his curiosity about her growing, but he didn't ask anything. He fired a signal arrow into the sky, and within fifteen minutes, two guards arrived.

"Shadow One, go to the nearby town and buy me a set of clothes and shoes."

One person left immediately, while the other vigilantly watched his surroundings, glancing at Gu Shih-han from time to time, not daring to relax for a moment.

“Someone’s here, less than a mile from us. They’re probably looking for you,” Gu Shihan said softly.

"Young Master, I'll take you away!" Ying Qi said as he approached Xie Zimo.

"Young man, come with us!" Xie Ziming said.

"No need to go, I'll just go check and come right back. This place is safer than other places." Less than twenty breaths after Gu Shihan left, Xie Ziming and the others heard several screams.

Gu Shihan and Ying Yi returned around the same time. When Gu Shihan returned, Xie Ziming had just changed his clothes.

"Xie Ziming, there are three men in black lying over there, still alive. You decide what to do with them. Also, you two, don't glare at me. I won't harm your master." Gu Shihan rolled her eyes at Ying Yi and Ying Qi.

"You? You're the little brother who saved our master that day?" Ying Yi slapped his head and said.

"Hmm, you have a good eye!" Gu Shihan praised.

The two guards quickly hunted two pheasants, processed them swiftly, and started roasting them over a fire.

Gu Shihan counted the money pouches she had just taken from the man in black and said with a smile, "I've made another fortune!"

Seeing Ying Yi's gaze, Gu Shihan put away the silver notes and loose silver and said with a smile, "Don't look at them, these are not for you, they are my spoils."

"Young master, we don't want them, they're all yours! The pheasant is roasted, this is for you!" Ying Qi smiled and cut the roasted chicken in two, giving one to Xie Zimo and the other to Gu Shihan.

After the four had eaten their fill, the moon climbed into the sky. Shadow One and Shadow Seven disappeared into the darkness, while Xie Ziming and Gu Shihan rested against the stone wall.

Nothing more was said that night. As dawn broke, Gu Shihan got up to leave, but Xie Ziming smiled and said, "Young Brother Gu, why don't you consider coming with me? You're my savior, and I certainly won't treat you unfairly! Just let me know if you need any help! I'll protect you from now on!"

"Xie Ziming, you should take care of your own life. Every time I see you, you're covered in injuries. You're still protecting me? Don't call me your savior. I was just doing it as a favor!" Gu Shihan waved her hand and said.

“No, how can I forget? You did it on a whim, but for me it was a matter of life and death. The debt of saving my life is greater than heaven. I, Xie Zimo, would never be an ungrateful person.” Xie Zimo said very sincerely.

Gu Shihan pondered for a moment and said, "Xie Zimo, since you asked, I do have something I need your help with. Given your status, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Brother Gu, please tell me what happened?" Xie Ziming asked anxiously.

"I'm a dead man now, and I don't want to have anything to do with the Shi family in Lingshan Village anymore. Could you get me a household registration and a high-level travel permit? I want to find a school to study in so I can travel around and see the world, instead of being blind. It's so inconvenient not having a household registration!" Gu Shihan said, looking at the distant sky.
