1210 Protect You, Take Care of You! (1/2)

”How…how is this possible?” Lin Yuxi was so shocked that she stood rooted to the ground, absolutely struck dumb with amazement.

This unkempt man, his stare dull and his hair a mess, looked like he had lost his soul and was as good as dead. But unbelievably that living dead soul was Xu Que!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Several people dressed as guards were hitting him heavily with their fists and kicking him, but he simply huddled up and succumbed to their attacks. Is this still Xu Que?

”No, stop it! All of you stop!” Lin Yuxi finally collected herself and rushed over without much thought. She knew that he was Xu Que, she was very sure of it, because she was so familiar with Xu Que's appearance as well as his gaze. His eyes were empty and dull now. However, when she had seen his eyes in the past, there was always a cynical attitude and a tinge of mischief hidden deep inside his gaze, and she would never be able to erase it from her life!

Hence, whether Xu Que was doing extremely well or in dire straits, she was very sure that the man in front of her was Xu Que!

”Stop it!” Lin Yuxi yelled and squeezed past a guard. She didn't hesitate to throw herself on Xu Que as she tried to ward off all the attacks the guards were throwing onto him.

Upon seeing Lin Yuxi's behavior, several guards were stunned, and they stopped what they were doing and looked at the young man.

The young nobleman sized up Lin Yuxi, and he exclaimed, ”What a beautiful girl!”

After that, with a smile on his face, he walked slowly toward her. He looked down at Lin Yuxi and said with a smile, ”Miss, could it be that you're a friend of this fool?”

”He's not a fool!” Lin Yuxi stared straight into the eyes of the young man.

”Ha! Not a fool? If that's the case, then you're a fool too!” The young man sneered. He pointed at Xu Que and said to Lin Yuxi, ”Of course, it doesn't matter to me whether both of you are fools or not. I only know that he has eaten my medicinal item. If you can compensate me, I naturally couldn't be bothered to argue with a fool. If you can't compensate me, then I'll kill him, and it's none of your business!”

”All right, I'll compensate you on his behalf!” Lin Yuxi didn't hesitate but promised the young man instantly.

”You? Ha, ha, I'm just speaking casually. It's a Second Grade Mind Restoration Pill, how could you, a trivial cultivator in the Original Infant Stage, be able to compensate me for it?” The young man laughed angrily.

Although Lin Yuxi was amazingly gorgeous, in the Celestial Realm, beauty was worthless, and was only regarded as playthings at most. But the Mind Restoration Pill was akin to an opportunity for the young man to secure a place in the Seven Stars Academy. There was no comparison between the two.

”What about a Seven Stars Order?” Lin Yuxi spoke coldly.

Seven Stars Order?

The young man and all the others were startled upon hearing what she said.

She has the Seven Stars Order?

How is that possible?

The value of the Seven Stars Order was far from being comparable to a Mind Restoration Pill. It was proof that one could directly enroll into the Seven Stars Academy!

How could the Seven Stars Order be possibly owned by a young female cultivator in the Original Infant Stage? And how could she use it to save a fool who had no cultivation?

”Ha, ha, Miss, your jokes aren't funny at all!” Just then, the young man shook his head and laughed. He said coldly, ”I'll give you a chance to get out of the way in three seconds, or you'll die with him!”

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Lin Yuxi slapped her hand into her storage bag and took out a token from and held it in her hand.

At first, they thought Lin Yuxi wanted to resist, but when they saw the token, their expressions changed dramatically.

”Seven Stars Order?” Everyone cried out in alarm; it was unbelievable. That token was the genuine Seven Stars Order!

”I'll give you the Seven Stars Order, and you'll let him off. We'll be even.” Then Lin Yuxi gritted her teeth and threw the Seven Stars Order to the young man. She was aware of the value of the Seven Stars Order. She definitely knew that the Seven Stars Order represented her future. Her future was what she had just thrown away.

But so what? As long as she could save Xu Que, she wouldn't hesitate or contemplate her decision for another second.

In that fateful year so long ago, she had let her chance slip. Now she wouldn't commit any more mistakes. What she did wasn't making up for it, but to recover everything she had lost because of the chance she had let slip in the past.

”This...” The young man looked at the token in his hand and was astounded. He couldn't utter a word. Such a precious token was the dream of tens of thousands of cultivators—it was one of the Seven Stars Academy's admission quotas. He actually got it just like that; it was akin to a dream. But the key was that the token was from a young female cultivator in the Original Infant Stage and she used it to save a fool. That was more outrageous than one could ever dream!

At the same time, Lin Yuxi had helped Xu Que up, but Xu Que couldn't even stand properly. He was like an empty shell without his soul, and the moment when he stood up, he collapsed again.
