A cluster of small red flowers grew out of the charred rubble.

Gao Yanan, holding a military flat water cup in both hands, looked at the cluster of small flowers with some fascination. He felt that it was a miracle that the seeds of this cluster of small flowers could take root and sprout and bloom like this after the fire.

Lin Xi reached out and touched her forehead, and found that it had cooled down. She breathed a sigh of relief, then opened a piece of dry soil in front of her, took out some reddish charcoal, quickly covered it with soil, and then put it out again.

A hot earthen pot was dug out.

Inside the earthen pot, there was scalding hot porridge that was slightly boiling.

Lin Xi first filled an iron box for Gao Yanan, and carefully added some pickles. Then she also filled a box for herself, and next to Gao Yanan, he drank it with great satisfaction.

The feeling of happiness and contentment is difficult to describe in words.

After the battle with Xu Qiubai at Falling Star Mausoleum, he still had one biggest enemy left, Wen Ren Cang Yue.

He knew that the emperor deliberately separated Qingluan Academy from the Southern Expedition, and he did not want to get entangled with those unnecessary court affairs. What's more, he had promised Changsun Wujiang some things and did not want to deliberately antagonize the emperor, so he simply

He left Falling Star City and continued to assassinate some of Da Mang's generals and continue his practice as before.

However, because he was just wandering around the battlefield like a ranger, assassinating some opposing generals, and rescuing some defeated Yunqin remnants that he happened to encounter, Lin Xi did not know about the entire Yunqin Empire because the emperor did not mention him and later

The pamphlet caused a great shock. Although the backlash of many officials and the criticism of some people were severely suppressed by the emperor's anger, countless Yunqin people had completely changed their view of the Yunqin Emperor.

My view has changed. I used to think that Emperor Yunqin was the most sage monarch, but now I feel that the emperor is self-willed, cruel and fatuous.

Many times, a small thing can completely change one person's view of another person, especially the Southern Expedition, especially Falling Star Mausoleum, and giving hope to many people like Lin Xi, especially giving a glimmer of hope to the families of hundreds of thousands of fallen soldiers.

Having warm people is not a trivial matter in the eyes of the people of Yunqin.

Lin Xi didn't know that he, who was not above the Yunqin Court, was once again pushed to the forefront of the court. He also didn't know that an unprecedented turmoil was taking place in Qingluan College. The turmoil was so violent that even a third of the

Many professors and lecturers died, and even the most powerful figure in the world like the headmaster of Purgatory Mountain died in such changes. He didn't know that such changes made Qingluan College usher in the final change after Dean Zhang left.

Stable, but also the weakest era. Likewise, he didn’t know that Wenren Cang Yue’s request to Purgatory Mountain had been granted again. The Temple of the Master on the largest and most majestic crater of Purgatory Mountain had already issued a

Order Purgatory Mountain to use some power to kill him.

But starting five or six days ago, he and Gao Yanan had clearly felt that many Damang practitioners had crossed Qianxia Mountain and entered Nanling Province, and began to intercept and kill him and Gao Yanan specifically.

Just as the old man from Qingluan Academy who died in the hands of "Brother Ming" said, Lin Xi can kill a great national master like Xu Qiubai, but that does not necessarily mean that Lin Xi has enough strength to kill other great national masters.

In this world, the strongest Saint Masters can be described as the scarcest resources. Almost all Saint Masters are like carrots or pits in this world, occupying an extremely important position.

For example, Yunqin has the largest number of Saint Masters in the Imperial City of Zhongzhou. Those Saint Masters are either enshrined in the imperial court, are the heads of certain departments, are the personal bodyguards of the old man behind the heavy curtains, or are the top generals of the Zhongzhou Guards.

For example, here, the Saint Master is a commander at the level of Wenren Cang Yue, Shen Tu Nian and Gu Yunjing.

Even in a place like Qingluan Academy, where there are many hidden saints, saints like Xu Shengmo, Qin Kuangmo, etc. are all used in the most critical places and have their own missions and responsibilities. Therefore,

If Lin Xi is really strong enough to kill a peak cultivator of the Grand Master at any time, if he wants to kill Lin Xi, he can only use the Holy Master, and if he wants to deploy a Holy Master specifically to surround and kill Lin Xi, that would be extremely dangerous.

It's difficult.

The simplest analogy is that if a general like Shen Tu Nian, who commanded an army of 100,000, came to personally track down and try to kill Lin Xi, it would be completely impossible.

But now Lin Xi and Gao Yanan's combat power is not only killed by a holy master, nor does it even require a great national master to kill them.

Because after all, practitioners are not tireless machines. After all, they will be injured, bleed, and weak. Just like being caught in a formation of a sufficient number of ordinary elite soldiers, they will also be killed by the soldiers. As long as there are a sufficient number of practitioners, they will also be killed.

It can even kill a being like the Holy Master, and it can kill a great national master-level practitioner. As long as some national-level practitioners and some lower-level practitioners keep chasing and killing them, it is enough.

The war is now fierce, and it is impossible for the Da Mang army to recruit holy masters. Purgatory Mountain was in the former Great Wasteland, and later Biluo Mausoleum, together they lost many holy masters. Some holy masters who bear important responsibilities must be lost.

The master put down what he was doing and specifically hunted down a cultivator who was still elusive. This was naturally a bit difficult, but with Purgatory Mountain's ability, it was really easy to mobilize a large number of low-level cultivators.

Because although the total number of practitioners in the entire Da Mang is definitely not as large as that of Yun Qin, the practitioners in Yun Qin are divided among the nine elders, several colleges, and many forces in the Imperial City of Zhongzhou. However, the entire Da Mang, including

In the current Qian Mo Cave and Damang Dynasty, all practitioners must follow the wishes of Purgatory Mountain and obey the orders of Purgatory Mountain.

Therefore, even though their whereabouts have been very secretive, starting from the previous five or six days, Lin Xi and Gao Yanan seemed to have been captured by some practitioners in Da Mang, and several possible areas of their next activities were outlined on the sand table, so

Lin Xi and Gao Yanan inevitably faced several tough battles.

Although he used his unique abilities several times to avoid some unbeatable opponents, after a fierce battle in the heavy rain the night before yesterday, Gao Yanan, who had consumed too much soul power, contracted the cold and began to feel weak and have a fever.

For Lin Xi, in such a situation, he naturally had to try to retreat to the Yunqin army's defense area, but he also knew very well that the large number of Damang practitioners who suddenly appeared from nowhere must be behind him and Gao Yanan.

A dragnet was laid on the way back, so he and Gao Yanan could only take extremely careful detours.

Fortunately, today in the ruins of this market town, Gao Yanan finally got rid of his fever after taking some herbal medicine.

Moreover, in the rice vat of this house that was not too dilapidated, he also found enough white rice to cook several hot porridges, and also found some pickles in a grocery store that had been raided, so he

Using what I learned at Qingluan Academy, I simmered a pot of hot porridge without burning an open flame or emitting smoke that would attract the enemy's attention.

White rice porridge and pickled vegetables are just the most common things in Yunqin.

But on the battlefield and in the wild, ordinary hot porridge is the kind of thing that easily makes people feel satisfied.

Moreover, the person she loved was by her side, and she was contentedly drinking the hot porridge she made. This made Lin Xi's heart filled with something called happiness.

After finishing the entire earthen jar of porridge, Lin Xi went out to get some well water and came back, then put some more rice in, buried the earthen jar in red charcoal, and then covered it with soil.

Lin Xi touched Gao Yanan's forehead again and felt very warm, but this kind of heat was not the kind of floating heat that comes from a fever, but the kind of heat that makes people feel at ease after they sweat slightly after drinking hot porridge.

"Don't worry, it's just the wind and cold. Now that my soul power has almost recovered, there won't be any problems." Looking at Lin Xi's nervous look, Gao Yanan pursed his lips and said softly, feeling something called happiness in his heart.

, and it is spreading more wantonly.

"How can I not be worried? It would be okay in normal times, but maybe those Da Mang practitioners will show up at any time. I don't know if it's because my performance makes Wenren Cang Yue feel uneasy, or for other reasons.

It's possible that such a large number of Da Mang practitioners suddenly appeared." Lin Xi stubbornly pulled Gao Yanan's body and let Gao Yanan lean on his shoulder, "You can rest for a while and wait until we finish the next piece of earthenware porridge.

, let’s leave here again.”

Gao Yanan hummed softly. Inexplicably, she felt that Lin Xi's body was getting hotter.

She raised her head slightly and saw Lin Xi looking at her.

Then her face suddenly turned crimson.

"Do not beat me."

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said these four words, then she mustered up her courage, lowered her head, and pressed her lips against hers.

Gao Yanan's eyes widened with unusual nervousness and a hint of fear. She stretched out her hands to push Lin Xi away, but Lin Xi hugged her gently.

Her hands fell weakly on Lin Xi's back, but they tightly grasped Lin Xi's clothes.

After a long time, the two separated.

Lin Xi was gasping for breath, and Gao Yanan's chest was heaving violently.

"Sour, sweet..."

Lin Xi suddenly laughed and said these words like a fool.

"I don't know what nonsense you are talking about. I don't know what bad idea you are thinking in your head." Gao Yanan lowered his head and said viciously: "If I didn't have much strength now, I would definitely beat you up."

Lin Xi chuckled.

Suddenly, he felt something strange, and Gao Yanan also felt something strange.

"Pap tap tap..." Lin Xi made a strange sound from her chest.

The two of them only saw Jixiang's head and Ruirui's head sticking out from Lin Xi's chest. They both looked at Lin Xi and Gao Yanan with relish and confusion, especially Jixiang, who pouted and imitated.

The sound comes from its bulging mouth.

Gao Yanan's face suddenly became redder than apples in autumn.

"This is something only adults can do. Children don't understand and don't look at it blindly." Lin Xi laughed and tapped Jixiang and Ruirui lightly on the head.
