The ancestor and everyone else looked at her strangely.
The destruction of the two great families in the Outer Domain caused a huge stir for everyone on this planet. They had heard of Huang Bai Xing’s power, but today, when Huang Sicong mentioned how Shenlian Yingyue had saved everyone from being killed by the self-destruction of several Nascent Soul cultivators (the ancestors of the Liu and Chen families), everyone was struck speechless. (Ch. 591)
"But I wonder, how were you able to stop those Nascent Soul cultivators?" The ancestor, being her elder, felt it was inconvenient to directly apologize or bow his head to her in front of others. Instead, he decided to ask her a question.
"I once walked in ignorance, but through my trials, I’ve come to value myself and appreciate the blessings I possess, no longer yearning for what was never meant for me." Shenlian Yingyue chose not to put him in the awkward position of having to apologize. Rather, she aimed to deflect any suspicion concerning her abrupt change in behavior.
The ancestor nodded in appreciation. He admired her eloquence, while some people who understood her meaning looked at her in a new light.
"About those cultivators, it was just my luck that I was able to stop them." Yet, her next words changed their impression of her.
Everyone: "..."
Who was she fooling? How could a mere junior stop the self-destructive power of the ancestors of the two great families? What nonsense—what incredible luck she claimed to have!
"Are you all so idle that you inquire about other people’s business instead of tending to your own wounds?" Huang Bai Xing’s cold tone silenced everyone, drawing their attention away from Shenlian Yingyue and redirecting it to her. She glanced at everyone with a warning in her eyes.
No one dared to defy her; only she could save them now. They were injured by demons and lived a hellish life every day, like a group of rats hiding in holes to escape the pursuing demons.
Some people hated her arrogance, while others feared her unknown power and abilities. Still, some admired her righteousness and skill. In short, people decided to remain silent and let her check their wounds.
Huang Donghai looked at everyone coldly and gestured for the ancestor to stop asking about Shenlian Yingyue. He signaled for Huang Bai Xing to hold his hand and find a place to sit.
Some of them sat under the trees, some on the white sand, while others went nearby to find fruits and hunt beasts to eat.
Dongfang Moqing acted as if he were invisible. He didn’t care and found a tree to sit under, disliking the crowd. As long as he wanted, no one would notice his presence except for Shenlian Yingyue.
Huang Bai Xing checked everyone’s wounds. Although she didn’t really want to do it, she couldn’t ignore the life and death of the people who were on the same ship as Huang Donghai. These individuals might be useful later.
There was no free lunch in the world. She felt no sympathy for them; who knew what they were thinking about her in their hearts?
"Do you need my help?" Shenlian Yingyue asked as she looked at the hundreds of people lying on the beach, exhausted, with blood and wounds all over their tattered clothes while Huang Bai Xing was busy checking her father and Huang Sicong’s condition.
Huang Bai Xing wanted to ignore her, but after considering something, her cold expression softened. She nodded lightly.
A day later, everyone’s wounds had been treated. Shenlian Yingyue and Huang Bai Xing gave them Tier 1 Wound Recovery Pills and allowed them to recuperate.
After all, pills were precious here. They couldn’t randomly use Tier 4 or Tier 5 pills to save hundreds of people, as that would only bring disaster upon themselves.
