Chapter 690

Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua and Li Chengxiu came across a carriage coming down from the mountain. Zhang Xiaohua did not decline and boarded the carriage, still looking sickly.

On the Baiyue Peak, inside the Pill Repository Hall, everything was the same as before. There were absolutely no cries of grief as Zhang Xiaohua had imagined. Every disciple she encountered was in a hurry and did not even look at Zhang Xiaohua, who was in the carriage. It was as if nothing had happened.

When the carriage arrived at the Hundred Herb Hall, Zhang Xiaohua alighted. Li Chengxiu smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ren, wait here. I will go and report. The Hall Master will definitely reward you later."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I hope so."

Li Chengxiu turned and entered the courtyard.

Inside the Hundred Herb Hall, Elder Zi Shen was frowning and drinking tea. He seemed to have some difficult matters to settle. When he heard someone report, he casually called them in.

Li Chengxiu entered the room and said respectfully, "Congratulations, Hall Master. Another disciple from our Pill Repository Hall who participated in the Twilight Orchid Refinement has returned safely."

"Eh?" Elder Zi Shen was stunned. He raised his eyebrows and said, "This fellow is quite lucky to be able to return alive?

I thought there were only eight people. Oh, what kind of spiritual herbs did he bring back? "

"This …" Li Chengxiu was a little hesitant and said, "This disciple is seriously injured and was escorted back by the Wuming Hall's disciples. It seems like … he did not bring the carriage back. The spiritual herbs …"

When Elder Zi Shen heard this, he laughed coldly and said, "Since he did not pick any spiritual herbs, it means that he did not complete the mission. According to the past, he would be punished. However, it is different this time. It is already good that he managed to escape with his life, so there will be no punishment. Go and let him return early so that he can recuperate."

Then, he waved his hand and sent Li Chengxiu out.

Li Chengxiu was a little anxious and said, "This … Hall Master, this disciple is Ren Xiaoyao from Tianmu Peak!"

"Tianmu Peak?

Ren Xiaoyao? "Elder Zi Shen was stunned and said unhappily," Is he very famous?

Isn't he just Chen Fengxiao's subordinate? Is there a need for me to know him?

This Chen Fengxiao is really lucky. The nine survivors are all from Tian Mu Peak … "

"Eh?

Ren Xiaoyao … seems to have some impression of him … "

Elder Purple Herb looked at Li Chengxiu and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I'll pardon you."

Li Chengxiu cupped his hands and said, "Sir Hall Master, this Ren Xiaoyao is the Ren Xiaoyao mentioned by Lu Chaoxian and the others who escaped from the Youlan Grand Canyon!"

"Aiyo ~" Old Man Zi Shen slapped his bald head, and said with a smile, "Now I remember the name of this Ren Xiaoyao. Isn't he the prospective son-in-law that was recruited from Rejuvenation Valley this year?

No wonder his name sounded so familiar. Why would he go to the Youlan Grand Canyon? "

Soon after, he changed his expression and said, "Hmm, I thought he was just an ordinary disciple. Since he was willing to sacrifice himself to save the other disciples, not to mention his martial arts, his moral character is also good. He is a loyal disciple of our Pill Repository Hall and is worthy of praise … Oh, call him in first. I'll ask him."

Li Chengxiu wiped the faint sweat on his head, lowered his head, and went out to call Zhang Xiaohua in.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua walk in, Elder Zi Shen slowly stood up and said with a smile, "Ren Xiaoyao, you're very good."

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Sir Hall Master."

"No need to be so polite."

Elder Zi Shen nodded and pointed to the chair next to him, saying, "Have a seat. I'm an old friend of Rejuvenation Valley's Valley Master Nie. You've been here for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to meet you."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to be careless. He lowered his head and said, "I'm now a disciple of the Pill Repository Hall and a subordinate of Sir Hall Master. I don't dare to think about anything else."

Elder Zi Shen stared blankly for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Good. Ren Xiaoyao, I like hearing these words of yours. I've been reluctant to meet you all this time, and this is one of my misgivings. I hope you can understand.

Hmm, you should sit down. This' Youlan Evening Refinement 'really wasn't easy for you. Now that you've been seriously injured, if you don't have a seat at my Hundred Herb Hall, wouldn't that disappoint the brothers who enter the valley in the future? "

Zhang Xiaohua said in a low voice, "Deference is no substitute for obedience. Thank you, Sir Hall Master."

After he finished speaking, he coughed twice and some blood flowed out.

Seeing this, Elder Zi Shen's expression couldn't help but change slightly. He asked, "How are your injuries?"

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said, "It's nothing serious. There shouldn't be any problems after a few months of recuperation."

Elder Zi Shen waved his hand and said to the disciple standing by the side, "Go. Take a bottle of the 'Blood Coagulation Pills', 'Blood Replenishing Pills', and other healing pills in the hall and bring them to Ren Xiaoyao."

The disciple accepted the order and left. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I've just finished my medicine. Many thanks for Hall Master's generous gift."

Elder Zi Shen smiled and said, "It's no matter. However, since you've said this, this old man wants to talk about you. I just heard that you've won quite a few medicinal pills at Tian Mu Peak. Why did you exchange them for medicinal herbs?

How can you do such a loss-making business? "

Zhang Xiaohua said 'shamefully', "I've just arrived and haven't seen so many medicinal herbs. I was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but exchange them. Only now do I regret it. If I had paid a visit to Sir Hall Master earlier and received Sir's guidance, how could I have done such a foolish thing?"

Elder Zi Shen chuckled and said, "You've just arrived at the Pill Opening Hall. Why did you suddenly run to the Youlan Grand Canyon to participate in the Youlan Evening Refinement?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. I only said that I was on the list, so I went."

"Oh ~" Elder Zi Shen nodded. "I reckon that Vice Hall Master Xu knows that your martial arts are outstanding, so he sent you.

Hehe, it's also thanks to Vice Hall Master Xu's discerning eyes. Otherwise, our Pill Opening Hall would've been completely wiped out. Not a single disciple would've been able to come out. "

Immediately, he said with a beaming smile, "I heard from Lu Chaoxian and the others that they followed you to pick the hundred-year-old 'Icespirit Grass' and luckily escaped with their lives. I just don't know if you've completed the task assigned by Vice Hall Master Xu?"

Zhang Xiaohua's heart stirred, and immediately became 'panicked'. He hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm incompetent. I searched for a long time but still couldn't find it. I originally wanted to go further to pick it, but I encountered a great change. I didn't dare to go further and only wanted to quickly leave the valley with my senior martial brothers. However, I couldn't complete Vice Hall Master Xu's order. Once I've recovered, I'll go to Vice Hall Master Xu and ask for forgiveness."

"That won't be necessary."

Elder Zi Shen took charge and said, "Although you didn't pick the hundred-year-old Icespirit Grass, you saved several carriages of medicinal herbs from my Pill Opening Hall. This can be considered as atoning for your crimes. If Vice Hall Master Xu comes looking for you, just say that I said it and there's no need to punish me."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled faintly and said, "If Vice Hall Master Xu comes looking for me, I'll definitely tell him."

Although her smile was very gentle, Zhang Xiaohua was disdainful in her heart. Vice Hall Master Xu actually dared to instruct Lu Lihong to kill her. How could she let him off easily?

"En ~" Elder Zi Shen drank a mouthful of tea. At this moment, the disciples in the hall also brought a few bottles of medicinal pills. Zhang Xiaohua put them in her arms and expressed her gratitude to Elder Zi Shen.

Sure enough, Elder Zi Shen was just casually listening. However, when he heard about the Misty Hall, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Disciples of the Misty Hall?

They saved you?

Oh, and they even saved an inner disciple? "

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled and said, "Yes, when I woke up, there were three disciples of the Misty Hall. There was no one else beside me. It must be them.

Moreover, when they saved that inner disciple, I saw it with my own eyes. They said that the girl was an inner disciple. I don't know anything. "

"Then, what do you think of the attitude of these disciples towards you?"

Zhang Xiaohua was even more taken aback. He said carefully, "It's alright. Although they don't talk much, they're very polite. They saved my life, so how can I be picky?

I was thinking of waiting a few months to recover and go to the Shixin Peak to thank them! "

"Hahaha," Elder Zi Shen laughed and said, "Your idea is good, but it's a little difficult to realize. Even if I want to go to the Shixin Peak, I have to get the consent of the Lingxiang Peak."

Zhang Xiaohua looked guilty and said, "Then I can only wish them success."

Elder Zi Shen stared at Zhang Xiaohua for a long time and seemed to have made a decision. He said with a smile on his face, "Well, Ren Xiaoyao, it's not easy for you. Although you didn't pick the herbs, you saved the lives of eight people. Oh, I almost forgot, there was also the life of an inner disciple. Moreover, you brought back four carriages of herbs for the Pill Sprouting Hall. You can be considered as the number one contributor to this' Valley Orchid Evening Refinement '. Not to mention other things, if the Pill Sprouting Hall doesn't reward you, it will make our brothers feel bitterly disappointed.

You can go and recuperate. After a while, I will arrange a task for you as a reward! "

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "I don't dare to be praised by the Hall Master. It's what I should do."

"Well, you don't have to say anymore.

Go back to the Tian Mu Peak as soon as possible.

Taking care of your body is the most important thing. "

Old Man Purple Ginseng had an unhappy look on his face as he said, "Clearly distinguishing between reward and punishment is the foundation of this old man's conduct. Since you can perform meritorious service, this old man will reward you!"

Zhang Xiaohua immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Thank you, Hall Master."

Old Man Zhi Shen smiled and waved his hand to signal Zhang Xiaohua to leave. Then, he picked up his teacup and took a sip happily, as though he had just resolved a very important matter.

When Zhang Xiaohua sat in the carriage, they immediately arrived at Bai Yuefeng. Inside an exquisite little house, Vice Hall Master Xu looked at the person in front of the hall in astonishment and said, "Are you sure?

Ren Xiaoyao actually came back alive? "

The disciple nodded, "That's right. I heard from Li Chengxiu, who was on duty at the foot of the mountain today, that he had already escorted Ren Xiaoyao back to Tian Mu Peak."
