On the way back, Tian Yi was still held in Li Ji's arms, and neither of them spoke.

The scene of Li Ji wielding his sword just now had a great impact on Tian Yi.

Hundreds of people perished under that sword light.

And their deaths were all caused by her.

This feeling of being protected without any reason was something Tian Yi had never experienced before in the twelve years since she joined the Luo Wang organization.

A complex emotion arose in Tian Yi's heart.

Upon arriving at the camp, Li Ji immediately applied medicine to Tian Yi's face.

Li Ji took the clean linen and secret wound medicine from a low-level Earth-ranked person and slowly walked to Tian Yi.

Tian Yi's eyes flickered slightly, but she did not back down. She simply lowered her eyes and allowed Li Ji to approach to a very close distance.

"Raise your head."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yi slightly raised her head.

A blue glint flashed in Li Ji's eyes, and his Ming Shui True Qi circulated, instantly soaking the burlap in his hand.

He held the burlap in his hand, his fingertips very lightly and carefully touching Tian Yi's face.

There was some congealed blood around the wound.

Li Ji avoided the rolled-up flesh, afraid that any force would tear the wound.

When the linen cloth brushed against her skin, Tian Yi's upper eyelashes trembled slightly.

Her fingertips quietly clenched the hem of her dress, and her shoulders tensed, but she didn't make a sound the whole time.

After cleaning the blood off Tian Yi's face, Li Ji picked up some fine powder and sprinkled it evenly on the gruesome wound.

The moment the powder entered her flesh, Tian Yi's jaw tightened abruptly, and even her breathing slowed down.

After applying the medicine, Li Ji gazed at the face intently.

He now only hopes that Tian Yi's facial wounds won't leave too large a scar after they heal.

However, this is very difficult to do. Tian Yi's wound is too big, and the Luo Wang does not have any kind of elixir that can completely eliminate scars.

Scars are common in Luo Wang, and no one would specifically seek out a cure to remove them.

But for Li Ji, scars could appear anywhere, except on this face.

So, during the next two days of travel, Li Ji basically protected Tian Yi the entire time.

To prevent the strong wind from penetrating Tian Yi's still-healing, hideous wounds, and also to avoid the shock and irritation that would tear at her skin while running.

Li Ji held Tian Yi firmly in his arms, one hand tightly around her slender waist, the other gently supporting her knees, carefully enveloping her in his embrace.

In addition, he was covered by a light blue aura shield, and Tian Yi's wounded face was lowered towards his chest, which basically completely blocked the strong wind coming towards him.

As he ran, Li Jixuan's long black robe billowed behind him. When he leaped into the air, his body was as steady as a rock, without the slightest sway or undulation. Not a tremor was transmitted to the person in his arms, and it did not aggravate the wound on her face.

The surrounding scenery rushed past my eyes, the desolate forest, the ancient road, and the distant mountains all turning into blurry afterimages.

Tian Yi lay quietly in Li Ji's arms, her black hair cascading down to his chest.

Her head was slightly lowered, and she did not make eye contact with Li Ji. Li Ji could not see her expression from above.

Halfway there, Li Ji felt a cool pressure on his back.

It was Tian Yi's finger gently pressing on his back.

Li Ji was puzzled and looked down at Tian Yi in his arms.

A few tiny words, barely audible, reached Li Ji's ears.

"Put me down, I'm feeling a little unwell."

Li Ji was taken aback, but then immediately understood.

He carried Tian Yi the whole way, even during rest stops. Others had a chance to resolve the issue, but Tian Yi probably found it difficult to bring it up, which is why she held it in for so long.

"Stop, everyone. Rest here for a quarter of an hour." After leaving these words, Li Ji led Tian Yi to a secluded place.

Although the assassins from the surrounding network were somewhat confused, they still did as instructed.

Upon arriving at a secluded spot, Li Ji put Tian Yi down and then turned around.

The two did not speak to each other, and Tian Yi walked alone behind a large tree.

A moment later, Tian Yi straightened her clothes and walked out slowly.

She came up behind Li Ji and lightly touched his back with her fingertips.

Only then did Li Ji dare to turn around, pick Tian Yi up again, and continue on his way.

In the afternoon, Li Ji led the group to a sheltered spot among the rocks to rest.

Li Ji still didn't put Tian Yi down, but instead held her and sat her on the rock.

He took out the dry rations and dried meat he carried with him and offered them to Tian Yi's mouth.

Tian Yi glanced at Li Ji silently, just as she was about to open her mouth and take a bite.

Li Ji suddenly took the dried meat away again.

Tian Yi bit into the air, her brows furrowing slightly as she turned her head to quietly look at Li Ji.

It wasn't that Li Ji deliberately wanted to tease her, but rather that he suddenly thought of a question.

Ordinary food would be fine, but these dry rations were coarse and hard. Because of her injured jaw, any chewing would inevitably aggravate the wound on her face.

This will not only cause excruciating pain, but may also worsen the injury, making recovery even more difficult.

Thinking of this, Li Ji placed the dry rations and dried meat in his palm and quietly circulated his inner energy.

A wisp of dark blue Netherworld Qi swirled around Li Ji's palm, slowly spreading over the food.

The coarse, hard biscuits and chewy jerky melted silently under the vibration of the Ming Shui True Qi.

The food was gradually mashed into a smooth and soft porridge, without any hard lumps, warm and soft, and could be swallowed directly upon entering the mouth.

Li Ji picked up a small piece of minced meat and brought it to Tian Yi's lips.

Tian Yi watched Li Ji's actions silently, observing him twirling his fingers. After a moment of silence, she parted her lips slightly.

Li Ji held her like that, feeding Tian Yi small bits of minced meat into her mouth.

Tian Yi leaned back quietly, her eyes lowered, silently accepting Li Ji's feeding.

The group of assassins from Luo Wang beside them all kept their heads down and ate their dry rations. Even when they caught a glimpse of Li Ji feeding Tian Yi, they immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look or say anything more.

Ever since Duan Shui Daren brought Tian Yi back last night, the atmosphere in the group has become rather strange.

When he returned last night, Lord Duanshui was covered in blood and his eyes were bloodshot, a sight that horrified anyone who saw him.

They all knew that Tian Yi had fallen into the hands of those disciples of the Farmer's School and the Mohist School yesterday, and it was undoubtedly Lord Duan Shui who rescued her.

In their view, Tian Yi's injuries were not serious, and she did not need such care from a top-ranking official.

Forbidden.

That was the only explanation they could think of: Tian Yi was Lord Duan Shui's concubine.

At this moment, Black Widow was seething with hatred, her nails almost digging into her flesh, but even so, she dared not openly cause trouble for Tian Yi anymore.

After a short rest, Li Ji led the group to continue their journey.

It didn't stop again until around midnight.

Li Ji found a deserted forest and prepared to rest there for the night.

On a tree, Li Ji still held Tian Yi in his arms and did not put her down.

This time, it wasn't because he was afraid of aggravating Tian Yi's wound, but simply because Li Ji wanted to look at her face.

At first, Tian Yi was unwilling to stay in Li Ji's arms and struggled to get down.

Only when Li Ji began reciting the incantation of the Baiyue Water Control Technique and explained its key points to Tian Yi did she stop struggling.

After returning from the Yin-Yang School, he probably won't have many more chances to see that face again, and he can't guarantee that Tian Yi won't get hurt again if he's not by her side.

unless.

He transferred her to his subordinates, to the secret execution platform of the Net.

After returning from the Yin-Yang School, he will go directly to take up his post as the head of the Dark Execution Platform of the Luo Net. At that time, it should not be a problem to mobilize a few second-level killers.

At that time, the Hundred Poison King, who was assigned to Wu Yun, can also be transferred here.

Thinking of the Hundred Poison King, Li Ji immediately thought of Yan Lingji, who was still imprisoned in the Devouring Tooth Prison. He hoped that after being imprisoned for so many days, she would become more obedient.
