Chapter 133: One hundred thirty-three, leave no troubles behind Chapter 133: One hundred thirty-three, leave no troubles behind “Grandpa, I’m tired, I want to go home.” Song Yan Ning did not stop moving, but continued to pull Yang Lisheng towards the base of the mountain. The most important thing was to leave this place of conflict.
“Okay, let’s go home,” Yang Lisheng said with a smile, looking at Song Yan Ning with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. After all, herbal medicine could always be gathered later, and their home was not lacking in it.
Suddenly, Song Yan Ning’s expression changed, and she quickly pulled Yang Lisheng to retreat a few steps to the side.
At that same moment, a figure fell from mid-air, landing right in front of Song Yan Ning and Yang Lisheng.
Just her luck, she couldn’t avoid it. Song Yan Ning muttered in her heart, a bit annoyed as she looked at the man on the ground. When she saw his face, she slightly startled—it was Liu Qingshan.
Yang Lisheng was startled and regained his senses, also recognizing the man on the ground as Liu Qingshan, “Isn’t that the Liu Qingshan who went with you to Miao Border? What is he doing here?” He looked up at the sky, full of confusion.
“Grandpa, take care of him while I go gather herbs,” Song Yan Ning said, hearing footsteps not far away and knowing that the people chasing Liu Qingshan had arrived. She regretted not bringing Xiang with her today.
“Xiao Ning, wait a minute, grandpa will go gather the herbs,” Yang Lisheng shouted as he chased after her, but soon realized that Song Yan Ning had quickly disappeared from sight. He could only shake his head helplessly and returned to Liu Qingshan’s side. All he could hope now was that Xiao Ning would be safe.
The man in black who was chasing Liu Qingshan heard the footsteps and turned his head to look. Seeing a little girl, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. Why was there a little girl here?
“Did you see a middle-aged man?” He hadn’t expected Liu Qingshan to have lightweight skills, it was his fault for underestimating the situation. Though Liu Qingshan was severely injured, he shouldn’t have gone far. His mission was to kill Liu Qingshan.
Song Yan Ning looked at the man in black, puzzled, and did not answer.
The man in black frowned, “I’m asking you, besides yourself, did you see anyone else?”
“Um!” Song Yan Ning nodded.
The man in black brightened up, “Where is he?”
Song Yan Ning raised her hand, pointing at the man in black, and flicked her finger.
Seeing Song Yan Ning point at himself, the man in black’s face turned red with anger, ready to give Song Yan Ning a lesson. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and his legs grew weak without strength, staring at Song Yan Ning in shock, “What did you do?”
“Don’t be scared, I just used some medicine on you,” Song Yan Ning approached the man in black. “Why are you chasing Liu Qingshan?” Liu Qingshan took good care of her during their trip to Miao Border, and she wouldn’t let this man kill him.
“Who exactly are you?” the man in black eyed Song Yan Ning warily. Could she also be from the Ancient Martial Sect since she knew Liu Qingshan?
“I asked you first,” Song Yan Ning retorted playfully.
The man in black glared at Song Yan Ning, grinding his teeth with hatred. At this moment, he couldn’t muster any strength; otherwise, he would definitely have taught this brat a lesson before throwing her off the mountain. He was a Yellow-level Late Stage strongman; surely, he could handle a child. It was his negligence for not expecting a child to use medicine on him; otherwise, she would’ve never had the chance.
“Glaring at me isn’t going to help. If you don’t talk, I’m leaving, and you’ll be beyond help,” Song Yan Ning said, already turning away. She didn’t have much time, and she didn’t want to worry her grandfather too long.
“Wait a moment,” the man in black called out after Song Yan Ning. Though she said he was beyond help, he didn’t believe it. He felt no strength in his body likely because he was affected by something like the Soft Muscle Powder, which was temporary. Once the effect wore off, he would immediately go and eliminate her. No one could offend him and remain unharmed.
Song Yan Ning turned around, facing the man in black, waiting for him to speak.
“I am chasing Liu Qingshan because he stole something from me,” the man in black said.
“What thing?” Song Yan Ning asked curiously. This black-clothed man, like Liu Qingshan, must be an Ancient Martial Cultivator; the thing that could catch an Ancient Martial Cultivator’s interest wouldn’t be ordinary.
“A white stone,” the man in black replied.
Song Yan Ning nodded, no longer paying attention to the man in black, and turned to walk towards the base of the mountain. As for the man in black, since his gaze was filled with murderous intent, she naturally couldn’t let him stay; she didn’t like leaving troubles behind.
With a flick of her finger, a ball of flames flew out of Song Yan Ning’s hand. These flames were different from ordinary flames—this was the Inner Fire she developed after enhancing her cultivation, which would only burn what she desired and would not affect the surrounding trees.
The man in black watched the flames flying towards him, his eyes widening in horror. Unable to move or dodge, he could only watch helplessly as the flames approached him. Just who was this little girl, and why did she possess such terrifying means? But he was destined never to get an answer.
Soon, the man in black was reduced to a pile of ashes amidst the flames, and a gust of mountain wind blew, leaving no trace of the ashes on the ground.
Yang Lisheng anxiously looked around, “This is really nerve-wracking, why isn’t she back yet?” He thought about going to search for her, but seeing Liu Qingshan still unconscious on the ground, he could only shake his head in resignation.
“Grandpa!”
With the sound of her soft, sweet voice, Song Yan Ning was seen cheerfully bouncing towards him.
Yang Lisheng finally relaxed, smiling at Song Yan Ning, “Slow down, be careful not to trip.”
“Grandpa, I found the herbal medicine,” Song Yan Ning walked up to Yang Lisheng and handed him the herbs.
Yang Lisheng took the herbs, walked to the side, and crouched down. He picked up a rock and started to crush the herbs on the ground. In the mountains, it was the only way they could prepare them.
Song Yan Ning walked over to Liu Qingshan, crouched down, and checked his injuries. While Yang Lisheng was not paying attention, she took out a medicine pill and placed it into Liu Qingshan’s mouth.
Liu Qingshan felt a burning pain inside his body, which slowly subsided. His strength was also gradually returning. Puzzled, he opened his eyes and saw Yang Lisheng and Song Yan Ning treating his wounds. He was taken aback, “Why is it you?” He remembered he was in the mountains.
“You were injured, and grandpa and I were gathering herbs when we found you,” Song Yan Ning briefly explained how they encountered Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan nodded. Recollecting the man in black who had been chasing him, he quickly sat up, “Did you see anyone else?” The man in black was not a compassionate person; if he saw Yang Lisheng and Song Yan Ning helping him, he definitely wouldn’t spare them. He needed to make them leave quickly; he couldn’t bring harm to them.
