Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Under their watchful eyes, cracks suddenly began to spread across the crystal cocoon;

Before long, it covered the entire sphere, and then a fair, delicate hand tore open the crystal cocoon's outer shell.

Tian Tian's face was visible in it...

"Chu Yuan...save me..." Her voice was plaintive, and her sweet face was streaked with tears, like a frightened kitten curled up in a ball.

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then stood there motionless.

Tian Tian is a relatively independent woman who can see the situation clearly.

She wouldn't speak like that, not even when asking for help... just like when she was being attacked by Qi Ying.

Han Ting squinted and saw through the clues;

He then shook his head: "It's hopeless."

"Why?" Chu Yuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He scanned Tian Tian's body with his divine sense, but found nothing such as insect eggs.

"Her mind has been corrupted and altered. Now, it's more accurate to say she's an insect in human form than a human," Han Ting explained, without showing any other emotion.

Every year, many people die in the battles against foreign tribes in the Great Qin Dynasty, and he has long been used to it.

Chu Yuan fell silent. He was still too late...

He couldn't help but wonder if the outcome would have been different if he hadn't rushed to deal with Zhao Mingren and instead chosen to save Tian Tian first.

"Just be a normal person. Normally... just have someone keep an eye on things." Seeing Chu Yuan's expression, Han Ting still offered a word of comfort.

He then raised his hand, intending to cripple Tian Tian's martial arts cultivation!

It's already a done deal, so of course we can't leave any more trouble behind!

Actually, the best way would be to execute her directly, and then... compensate her family.

Han Ting allowed Tian Tian to live like an ordinary person entirely out of consideration for Chu Yuan's psychological well-being...

"Chu Yuan, what are you talking about? I feel so bad..." Tian Tian bit her lip, her expression pained;

"Hold on, Elder Han... Can't Elder Zhang save him either?"

"Old Zhang... he should be able to help, but the conditions for Old Zhang to help are very strict." Han Ting said solemnly, "You made great contributions in the Seventh Secret Realm when you were treated for the backlash, and your talent is also worth paying attention to, so the Zhenwu Bureau asked Old Zhang to help."

But what right does this girl have?

The words may sound pragmatic, but that's the truth.

Zhang Chen's rescues weren't for nothing; in fact, he rescued many high-level martial artists.

If the injury occurred on the battlefield and falls under the scope of "official business," then it's easier to handle; they might not ask for anything and would do their best to treat the patient.

But if it's a 'private matter'... no one will bother with you.

Otherwise, Zhang Chen wouldn't need to do anything else; he could just keep saving people 24/7...

Chu Yuan understood this principle as well. Just like the national doctors in his previous life, many people knew about them and respected them, but they usually did not treat ordinary people.

It's not that I'm being snobbish or judging people based on their status; it's just that my energy and time are limited, and there are certain channels I can't open...

Chu Yuan said in a deep voice, "What if I were to bear the consequences for her?"

Han Ting frowned: "Chu Yuan, don't tell me you can't see it, those insects are obviously targeting you."

They went to such lengths to modify her just to target you.

If I weren't here today, you might have been tricked by her someday...

"I know." Chu Yuan grinned, "But if I don't save her, I'll always feel uneasy."

Once this unreasonable reason was given, Han Ting knew he had nothing to say in return.

It must be said that even though the planning time was short, the bug that replaced Zhao Mingren was quite capable.

The plan to coordinate with the clan to ambush Chu Yuan, and the subsequent transformation of the girl, served as a prelude to the failed ambush.

Incidentally, it also dragged a few martial arts families into the fray, causing some internal strife within the Qin Dynasty...

Han Ting felt that if he hadn't noticed that spatial fluctuation in time, Chu Yuan might have already become a puppet of the Nightmare Insect Clan under that spiritual torrent.

At that point, the others in Xiyun City won't be spared either. With them and Chu Yuan covering for each other, they might actually be planting a huge time bomb in the Qin Dynasty...

Han Ting sighed and said helplessly, "The only way to get Old Zhang to take action is through military merit."

Chu Yuan's expression instantly relaxed: "I understand, thank you Elder Han... I wonder if the merits awarded by the Zhenwu Bureau will be of any use?"

"Of course it works... I almost forgot about that." Han Ting was taken aback. He was only thinking that military merits were not easy for Chu Yuan to obtain, and almost forgot that Chu Yuan had been rewarded with many merits because of the Blood Beast Clan's inheritance.

"The merits and military achievements of the Zhenwu Bureau can be exchanged one-to-one, but I must remind you, don't think that these things are easy to obtain."

Old Wei's other apprentice, what's his name again...? He saved Chenyang City last time, do you know how many merits he got?

"How many?"

"It's only a little over 20,000, but those 20,000 merits are enough for him to exchange for all the martial arts resources before he reaches the seventh realm!"

If you want Old Zhang to save this girl, according to the usual rate, you'd need at least 50,000 military merits!

"I've made up my mind."

"Fine, whatever you want." Han Ting pursed his lips, then suddenly reached out and cupped his fingers around Tian Tian;

Strange energy fluctuations, like wildly dancing threads, were densely imprinted on her skin and then merged into her body.

"Even if you have enough merits, Old Zhang isn't always available... You'll have to take her to the outer battlefield for treatment."

I've temporarily blocked her mental fluctuations to prevent the Nightmare Insects from having any means to remotely contact or control her... but you still need to be careful yourself.

"Thank you, Elder Han..."

"Don't be so polite, my strength isn't as valuable as Old Zhang's." Han Ting said self-deprecatingly, seemingly still dissatisfied with Chu Yuan's choice;

But I am still somewhat relieved;

Putting aside the question of whether it's worth it or not, who doesn't like someone who values ​​relationships and loyalty...?

......

Chu Yuan said goodbye to Tian Tian and her parents, preparing to take her to the training base;

The middle-aged couple were overjoyed that their daughter was safe and sound, but they also keenly noticed changes in her personality.

But then I thought, it's already not easy to get out of prison safely... It's not surprising that my personality has changed a bit, so I quickly put my mind at ease.

Chu Yuan couldn't bear to tell them the truth and left in a hurry.

When the golden rainbow descended once more at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, the originally long queue was now only half its original length.

The speed of the Golden Rainbow Piercing the Sun was indeed very fast, surpassing that of ordinary fighter jets!

This was also the first time Chu Yuan had used his full strength, and all he could say was... he was very satisfied. It truly lived up to the expectations of his teacher...

As soon as they landed, Yang Yi and Xiang Ning looked over with strange expressions;

"You beast... you're not even going to keep up the act anymore?"

Chu Yuan looked down, his face darkening: "Can you get off me?"
