Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

He suddenly realized that the girl was carrying Chongyue's sword on her back and holding one of Chongyue's two disciples in her arms, which meant she had practically taken all of Chongyue's belongings.

Qi Yan chuckled and said, "This girl is going to pay respects to her deceased master, but unfortunately she misunderstood some things."

Zuo Xuanliao and Jieyun spoke at the same time.

“Her master’s dying wish was to see Chongyue.” Qi Yan looked on with amusement. “But this silly girl misunderstood. She thought Chongyue was the name of the sword. What she should really be trying to catch is the Grandmaster himself.”

Jieyun: "..."

Zuo Xuanliao: "..."

The tent fell into a deathly silence.

After a moment, Jieyun's face showed a hesitant expression.

Zuo Xuanliao was shocked: "You're really planning to capture a Grandmaster?"

“…This is my master’s last wish!” Jieyun said through gritted teeth.

Zuo Xuanliao suddenly had a vague idea: "Wait, your master's last wish? Your master was..."

"That's right, she's the female warrior who was your comrade back then," Qi Yan explained. "Back then, she was seriously ill and knew that her days were numbered. All she wanted was for Chong Yue to stay with her as much as possible."

Alas, though the flower's affection was unrequited, the stream flowed on indifferently. Chongyue only hoped to find a skilled physician to cure the heroine's illness. In the end, before Chongyue's return, the heroine left Yumen in despair, rescuing the Jieyun tribe beyond the Great Wall, and passing away peacefully with the tribe by her side.

Zuo Xuanliao looked somewhat dazed.

He examined Jieyun closely, as if trying to find some trace of an old friend in this young girl.

In the end, he only recognized the black jade pendant on the girl's forehead, which was a personal accessory of his old friend.

With a long, drawn-out sigh, Zuo Xuanliao remarked:

Where is she buried?

Jie Yun was completely bewildered at this point and subconsciously asked, "Do you know my master?"

Zuo Xuanliao nodded silently.

But Jieyun remained wary: "Why are you asking about these things? Do you also want to go and pay respects to my master?"

This simple question left Zuo Xuanliao speechless for a moment.

He certainly wanted to go and pay his respects.

But... he is the General of Yumen, the Marquis of Pingchong of Yan Kingdom. At this juncture, Yumen cannot do without him for a moment.

Jieyun saw through Zuo Xuanliao's answer, turned his face away and clicked his tongue lightly.

This sound was like an invisible knife, stabbing Zuo Xuanliao in the heart, causing him to catch his breath in pain.

Zuo Xuanliao turned his head and glanced at Qi Yan beside him, only to find that the latter had already entered a state of watching the show.

He sighed inwardly, and despite his reluctance, he still looked at Jieyun:

"You are her disciple, I will not make things difficult for you, but you cannot take this sword with you..."

Before Zuo Xuanliao could finish speaking, Jieyun put down Qiu Bai from his arms and tossed the ancient longsword from his back over.

He instinctively caught the sword, and Zuo Xuanliao was even a little stunned.

He never expected things to be so easy.

“Since I made a mistake, I will naturally return the sword,” Jieyun said, annoyed. “But I want to know where that Grandmaster named Chongyue is now?”

"No, you're really going to capture a Grandmaster?" Zuo Xuanliao was dumbfounded.

“This is my master’s last wish!” Jieyun repeated.

Zuo Xuanliao was speechless at the stubborn girl in front of him.

Qi Yan, always eager for a good show, fanned the flames, saying:

"According to what I overheard of Zuo Xuanliao's conversation with his subordinates, the Grandmaster is currently in Longmen, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should be heading towards Yumen now."

Jieyun turned and left, and it was clear from her posture that she was going to leave the military camp by the same route.

Zuo Xuanliao quickly stood up, blocking Jieyun's path, and said with a wry smile:

“Young lady, I mean you no harm, but Yumen is in a critical situation right now, and the Grandmaster is very busy. It’s best if you don’t bother him.”

Anger immediately flashed across Jieyun's face as he placed his hand on the ring-shaped weapon at his waist.

Zuo Xuanliao remained calm in response, saying, "You are no match for me."

"You are no match for me either."

Qi Yan suddenly jumped up from the chair and landed next to Jie Yun.

Zuo Xuanliao: "...Lord Qi Yan, what exactly do you want to do?"

"What I need to do is very simple: send the second brother to his older brother, and then sit back and watch the older brother beat up his own younger brother."

Qi Yan smiled and looked at the black jade pendant on Jie Yun's forehead.

Jieyun: "..."

After a brief pause, a flash of dark light appeared on the black pendant on Jieyun's forehead.

The next second, her entire demeanor seemed to change completely, undergoing a dramatic transformation.

"Nothing can be hidden from you."

'Jieyun' turned to look at Qi Yan and said with a faint smile, 'I have a feeling that although you have always been active on this chessboard, you have the mindset of an observer.'

"It's not about mindset." Qi Yan smiled and took out the red gold.

"Hey! I just wanted to point out that you were observing the game without saying anything, what are you trying to do?"

'Jieyun's' expression changed drastically: "I was just possessing her for a moment, and you forced me to do it. I didn't do anything to this girl, and besides, there aren't any men around here for me to possess!"

Qi Yan weighed the red gold in his hand and gestured with his chin towards the dumbfounded Zuo Xuanliao:

"Is General Zuo even a man?! I'm asking you, is General Zuo even a man?!"

Zuo Xuanliao suddenly came to his senses and then took a half step back in a slightly flustered manner.

In a flash, various speculations crossed his mind, but he finally settled on one conclusion.

Qi Yan wanted to join forces with Wang to possess Ping Chong Hou's body!

Chapter 893 Kidnapping Attempt Turns into Surrounding

The deep darkness of night completely enveloped the vast desert on the border of the Yan Kingdom.

Because of the impending natural disaster, the night sky was devoid of stars and moon, and the earth seemed to be covered with a thick layer of black ink, leaving only a rough outline of everything.

Years ago, he hid in the big pit he had dug himself, sticking half his head out and peering around with his head close to the ground.

Old Li and the others were all huddled in the pit. Even in the pitch-black night, they could still feel each other's worries.

They're trying to kidnap the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty.

Of the group, only Ji Jing and Qi Lin remained relatively calm.

One of these two had a trump card personally prepared by Qi Yan, while the other already had experience kidnapping the Grand Tutor.

Suddenly, everyone heard a series of neat footsteps coming from afar, which sounded particularly clear in the quiet night.

Suddenly, Nian shuddered and crouched down, letting out a low cry.

Everyone was shocked.

Old Carp quickly stood up and asked, "What happened? Did they discover you and attack you?"

"Ouch, ouch!"

Nian rubbed his eyes hard, tears streaming down his face, and explained pitifully, "No, trust my skills, okay? I just dug the pit too deep, which caused the sand to get into my eyes."

Everyone: "..."

"Oh well, if I can't see it, I can't see it."

Nian blinked hard, his big eyes brimming with tears, and gritted his teeth, saying, "The Grand Tutor's troops have arrived. You all stay quiet and wait for me to distract the escorting soldiers. Then you all jump out and capture the Grand Tutor!"

"How about we..."

Old Li wanted to say something to persuade him, but Nian had already exerted force with his feet and his body soared into the sky.

The dust she stirred up instantly choked Lao Li and the others, causing them to cough.

On the other side, Nian transformed into a shooting star in the night, crashing down in front of that team.

Yellow sand crashed down with a thunderous roar, creating a surging up spray.

"Throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, handsome men and beautiful women all belong to me..."

As she walked out step by step, she arrogantly shouted the slogans that she and Qi Yan had come up with.

But when she saw the line of people in front of her, her slogan stopped abruptly halfway through.

The Grand Tutor stepped out of the carriage, his hands behind his back, and smiled as he looked at Nian amidst a column of a hundred Yan Kingdom imperial guards and a thousand Yan Kingdom elite soldiers.

After stammering twice, he awkwardly laughed and said, "I mean, everyone, how's evening? Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll treat you all to Originium Bug sashimi as a midnight snack."

"If I remember correctly, Miss Nian is not from Longmen. She speaks the Longmen dialect quite fluently."

The Grand Tutor still maintained his smiling demeanor.

The hundred Yan Kingdom Imperial Guards beside him silently formed ranks, and without a sound, a chilling aura completely enveloped him.

"The Grand Tutor's reminder is correct. I will go to Longmen right away."

He spouted some nonsensical nonsense, then leaped up and slipped back the way he came.

The Grand Tutor raised his hand to stop the Imperial Guards from intervening, and silently watched the direction Nian had gone.

After a brief moment of contemplation, the Grand Tutor waved his hand and said:

"Go and see what's going on, but don't be too nervous. It's probably because Qi Yan has some plans."

Despite its massive size, this elite army, which was enough to make Nian feel apprehensive, moved swiftly through the night as if it were a single entity, following the Grand Tutor's order.

In the distance, Nian, perched on the edge of the pit, stuck out his rear end and urged the people inside:

"The wind is strong, let's get out of here! That old scoundrel Grand Tutor has no martial ethics. He's bringing a terrifying army to attack. Even if my elder brother came, he would have no choice but to run!"

"what's the situation?"

Ji Jing was the first to pop his head out of the pit: "Could it be that the Grand Tutor has been angered by Qi Yan and wants to fight him?"

Nian tilted his head and analyzed, "That's unlikely. The Grand Tutor isn't stupid. His team can only bully us agents. If they really encounter a complete being, they'll be the ones running away."

Old Carp quickly poked his head out and said anxiously:

"Why are you two chatting? Shouldn't you be making a run for your lives now?"

"If we don't run now, we'll be the ones kidnapped! Qi Yan didn't come with us!"

"Makes sense!"

Nian reached out and grabbed Jijing by the collar, pulling him out of the pit.

But before she could put down the Extreme Realm, she discovered that a large group of people had caught up with her.

"Holy crap, Qi Yan!"

Nian couldn't help but exclaim, "This marching speed is probably comparable to the Pegasus of Kazimierz!"

The Grand Tutor strolled over, accompanied by two imperial guards, and said casually:

"I've suddenly realized that Miss Nian has quite a lot of experience. I wonder when you slipped out of the country and went to Kazimierz for a bit of adventure?"

"I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense!" Nian said warily. "I'm a law-abiding citizen, how could I possibly do anything illegal like smuggling!"

The Grand Tutor smiled, did not pursue the matter further, and asked again:

"What are you all planning to do, intercepting me in the night?"

"What nonsense! What kind of talk is this!"

Fearing that his momentary carelessness would give the Grand Tutor a handle to suppress him, Nian Sheng jumped up and said, "Can't a few of us camp here?"

The Grand Tutor actually nodded in agreement after hearing these words, which he himself had never believed for years.

"Since that's the case, then I won't disturb your enjoyment any longer." The Grand Tutor waved his hand and led his men toward the rear of the group.
