Chapter 3075
Yun Ling walked along the narrow path to the peak of the back mountain. She sat down first to regulate her breathing.
Every morning, the spiritual energy on the peak was extremely thick. Practicing here was very beneficial. This was exactly why Yun Ling persisted in this cultivation method.
After cultivating for a while, Yun Ling took out a book.
The book was about refining talismans. After her recent injury, Yun Ling’s only thought was that her cultivation base was too low.
Especially after seeing Yun Meng’s cultivation level, Yun Ling decided she must strengthen her training.
It had to be said that for Yun Ling, everything belonging to the Yun family was very important. This was also the responsibility of an heir.
On this point, Yun Ling envied Yun Meng. Yun Meng would directly discard everything from the Yun family and walk her own path. In this regard, Yun Ling felt she could not compare to Yun Meng.
She had only read for a short time when she heard faint breathing.
The breathing was intermittent, clearly indicating someone was injured.
Yun Ling put away her book and stood up. She judged the direction of the breather based on the sound, then slowly followed it.
The breathing remained intermittent but became increasingly distinct.
Soon, Yun Ling discovered a cave.
This was the first time Yun Ling had found this cave. It was located on the cliff wall of the back mountain, a place ordinary people would never notice.
Yun Ling walked inside. The cave was not deep, only about three or four meters from front to back. Yun Ling found a man in black clothes lying on the ground. He appeared to be severely injured.
Yun Ling approached and carefully turned the person over. She discovered it was a man with her eyes tightly closed and her face pale. her injuries seemed serious.
When Yun Ling’s hand lightly touched her, she found her body temperature was exceptionally low.
She frowned slightly, then took out some medicine. These were pills she carried with her daily. She carefully propped the man up and fed her a pill.
As the pill entered his stomach, the man seemed to sense someone’s presence. He slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Yun Ling, he seemed slightly stunned. “Who are you?”
“I should be asking you that. You are in a cave on my family’s back mountain. I don’t even know who you are.” Yun Ling looked into his eyes. He had very deep eyes. Although they were black, this blackness seemed to carry an indescribable mystery.
“My surname is Diyi, and my given name is Hun. The character for soul.” Diyi Hun stated.
“My name is Yun Ling.” Yun Ling said.
“Yun Ling? Someone from the Yun family?” Diyi Hun seemed to know Yun Ling’s identity.
“Yes.” Yun Ling nodded. “Where are you from? Why are you on our family’s back mountain?”
“This back mountain leads to your family’s estate.” Diyi Hun sighed. “I was injured by a fierce soul.”
“A fierce soul? You found a fierce soul? Where is it?” Yun Ling was startled and asked urgently.
Diyi Hun looked helpless. “How would I know where the fierce soul is now? He injured me, and he also seemed injured. Then he fled. I was injured and could not chase him, so I had to find a place to heal myself first.”
“You call this healing? I think you are looking for death. If you hadn’t met me, you would definitely be dead.” Yun Ling didn’t know why she said such things.
A trace of gratitude appeared on Diyi Hun’s pale face. “I really must thank you. If not for you, I would indeed be in danger.”
“Sigh.” Seeing Diyi Hun’s attitude made Yun Ling feel a bit embarrassed, as if she were bullying her. Therefore, Yun Ling said, “Well, it’s actually okay. At least you are not in danger now. What do you plan to do?”
Diyi Hun said, “I cannot move much now. I need to rest here for a period of time. I hope Miss Yun can help bring some food and drink. Is that possible?”
Yun Ling thought about it. Ordinary people could not enter her home. Even if she wanted her to go to her house, it probably wouldn’t work. Hearing her request, Yun Ling also felt it was better for her to stay here.
“Alright. I will go get you some food. Also, although this is a cave, it might be cold at night. I will bring some warm things for you too.” Yun Ling said directly.
“I appreciate your trouble.” Diyi Hun said gently.
Yun Ling said nothing more and returned home to get food and supplies.
No one in her family managed these matters. After all, Yun Ling was the master. No one would care what the master did.
When Yun Ling left the cave, a flash of red light passed through Diyi Hun’s eyes. A strange color appeared on his face.
Yun Ling made several trips and arranged the cave. Although it was not luxurious, it was much better than having nothing at first.
“Thank you.” Diyi Hun looked at Yun Ling with gentle eyes.
Yun Ling didn’t know why, but seeing her gaze made her heart beat particularly fast. Blushing, she said, “There is nothing to thank me for. Rest well here. I will go back first and come to see you tomorrow.”
Without waiting for Diyi Hun’s reply, Yun Ling hurried away.
After leaving the cave and returning home, Yun Ling still felt her face was hot.
She ran to the washroom, splashed cold water on her face, and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She found a trace of shyness on her face that she had never had before.
She was slightly stunned. She had only seen such expressions on the faces of young girls. She had always looked down on such people.
She coughed and straightened herself. She absolutely would not become such a young girl.
Yun Ling thought for a moment and then calmed her mood.
However, what she did not know was that when emotions arrive, they cannot be controlled by reason.
Over the next few days, she brought things to Diyi Hun every morning. Of course, as Diyi Hun gradually recovered, the two discussed their respective cultivation methods.
Yun Ling found that Diyi Hun knew a lot. The knowledge she possessed made her feel quite amazed.
Yun Meng did not know about Yun Ling’s situation. One evening, Yun Meng closed the shop door and looked at the street.
Yan Xizhong came down from upstairs and saw Yun Meng looking out the window. “What’s wrong?”
“Isn’t the seventh month already over? Are there really so many souls wandering on the street?” Yun Meng frowned slightly.
Yan Xizhong looked outside and then said, “I will go handle it first. Do not come out.”
Although Yun Meng remembered things from her previous life and her cultivation in this life was good, this body was still a mortal body. If she dealt with souls too much, accidents might happen, such as catching a cold.
Of course, for daily soul catchers, this was normal. But for Yan Xizhong, he had to protect his wife. Not only a cold, but even a sneeze was something he could not bear to see.
