Chapter 14: Resting in the Cave
Ling Xiao waved his hand: "It's alright, you and I don't know each other, it's normal that it's a misunderstanding. It's just that Duan Yu has been bitten by a lightning marten and is poisoned, do you have the antidote?"
Hearing this, Zhong Ling shook his head with difficulty: "Although this lightning marten listens to me a lot, the antidote is not here, it is in my father's hands."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "It's that Wan Chou?"
"Yes, yes, yes. How did you know about this Sect Master Ling?" Zhong Ling looked at Ling Xiao with a little surprise.
Ling Xiao laughed blandly: "I am a person who resides in seclusion in the forest to begin with, but I understand the grudges and grievances within the Jianghu very well and know many things that you do not know."
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Zhong Ling scratched his head, and did not continue asking.
"But your father has a deep hatred for me!" Duan Yu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was deathly pale.
"Yeah, I don't really understand either. Why is my father so resentful towards you, or even towards your Duan Clan?" Zhong Ling shook his head with a puzzled expression.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed: Actually, this involves an ancient matter, but it is inconvenient for me to explain it to you, otherwise it might disturb your emotions, but don't worry, just go see Wan Chou, I will protect you well.
"Wah!" Sect Master Ling looks so amazing! " Ever since Zhong Ling knew that Ling Xiao was the benefactor who saved Duan Yu, he started to worship him.
"Really? I thought I was going to die here today. " After Duan Yu heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"However, it's best for your wounds to be treated. Otherwise, with your weak physique and no inner force to support you, the poison will spread very quickly." Ling Xiao looked at Duan Yu's bloody thigh and suggested.
"I know there's a cave nearby. No one knows about it, it's very safe there." After Zhong Ling heard this, he remembered something.
Ling Xiao nodded, carried Duan Yu and followed him to the cave.
The place was overgrown with weeds and vines. It was clear that no one had lived here for a long time.
"Zhong Ling, you go stand guard outside. I need to apply some herbs for Duan Yu to stop the bleeding, if you have any, I'll call for you, you should go get some clean water too." Ling Xiao instructed.
Although Zhong Ling had doubts in his heart, he still decided to obediently go for the sake of Duan Yu's safety.
Even though Duan Yu and Zhong Ling had known each other since childhood, Ling Xiao knew that the two of them were actually siblings.
After Zhong Ling left, Ling Xiao helped Duan Yu with his wounds, then instructed: "The herbs here are limited, and can barely stop the bleeding, rest here for a bit, I will be back shortly."
Although Duan Yu really wanted to know what Ling Xiao was going to do, his legs were injured. He could only lie there and wait for Ling Xiao to return.
After searching along the wall for a while, Ling Xiao discovered that behind some vines, there was a smaller cave. It seemed to be an entrance to another place.
It seemed like the secret of cave was on the other side of this entrance.
