1162: Very Safe

Very Safe

"Unfortunately, I can't do anything about it at this point. But don't worry, the effect of this finger technique will disappear after a few hours," said Ling Chuxi as she spread out her hands. Who knew that Lan Xinyu was so untalented? Everyone had succeeded in using it, but she was the only one who had failed.2

In actual fact, there was a way to help Xinyu. With the golden needle and Seven Strings Finger Method, she could dissolve the True Qi in Xinyu's facial meridians bit by bit and restore her face to its original state. However, Lan Xinyu would have to suffer a little. Moreover, this method was too troublesome. She would have been able to recover to her normal state within the same amount of time. There was no need to waste time.

"A few hours? I have to wait for a few hours?" Lan Xinyu's legs went weak and she almost fainted. She wanted to die if she had to keep that face even for an hour, let alone a few hours.

"Well, I don't think it's that big of a deal. I actually think you did well. Whatever you produced it's quite a safe and reassuring outcome." Baili Han comforted Lan Xinyu.

Lan Xinyu's mouth twitched. Why did his words sound so annoying?

Was this supposed to comfort her? Everyone else started sweating profusely. But his words were the truth. It was quite reassuring to be so ugly. No one would want to flirt with her.

"The effect of this finger technique should only last for four hours. But combined with the effect of the pulse pills, your face will probably stay in that state for another six to eight hours. After that, you have to replenish your True Qi to maintain the meridians on your face and recover." Ling Chuxi reminded.

"10 hours? How is that 'a few hours'?" Lan Xinyu was already on the verge of collapse.

"Isn't that just a few hours?" asked Ling Chuxi back.

Lan Xinyu finally fell to the ground.

...

"Alright, let's find an inn to stay in first. We can set off tomorrow. Oh right, inform Elder Zhang to send someone to take over Thousand Kills CIty. Since we are already going to be the scapegoat, we should at least make use of our new reputation. Instead of letting other forces take advantage of us, it's better for us to take advantage of the situation first," said Ling Chuxi as she looked at the night sky. They weren't in a hurry to go to Broken Moon Gang anyway.

"Well, we're not really taking advantage of anyone. Having the Zhang family take over Thousand Kills City should be considered a blessing for the people. In fact, I think they'd be overjoyed and grateful. Sect Leader's decision should be considered raining the heavens and earth on the people of the city," said the dog-headed military advisor Ding Wenqing as he shook his head and showed off his literary talent. Everyone could hear a strong sense of flattery from his words, but he did speak the truth. Other than the good-for-nothing Zhang Yuhong, the rest of the Zhang family strictly adhered to the legacy of the sect and treated the people well. Kaiyuan City was like a paradise for many people who had nowhere else to go with the Zhang family in charge. So the Thousand Kills City people should be happy to have the family take over the city.

"That's good. Let's release the news and let them rest in peace," said Ling Chuxi.

"Yes, my Lady." Gongxi Kuangdao replied.

Soon, the group arrived at the door of an inn.

As expected, the news of Sword Heart Gang's annihilating Thousand Kills Gang had spread like wildfire. Thus, the door to the inn was tightly shut, like the doors to other shops all over. The wind blew across the long street, stirring up sand and dust as the city looked desolately dead.

"Open the doors and let us in." Lan Xinyu was in a bad mood. She was hoping to hide in the inn for a few hours, only to find the inn's main door tightly shut. She stepped forward and slapped the wooden board hard.

The shopkeeper and the waiter in the inn hid behind the door. They were so scared as they held their breaths that their bodies were trembling. But none of them dared to open the door.
