" Sister Lin, Are you alright? We should leave."
" No, Wait here."
Lin Xie leaned against a tree and looked at the sky. " We will go only after Senior Brother returns."
" But you are still injured." Chen Yin spoke in an worried voice. " And why are you concerned about Senior Brother? He should be fine."
" The situation in the main city doesn’t looks good." Lin Xie shook her head. " We better regroup together before we head back."
Suddenly, everyone could feel the powerful imperial aura from the far, the soaring cold energy like early arrival of winter.
" Look! Senior Brother Long is fighting!"
" To think he can use the Blessed Imperial Treasure with such proficiency!"
" He is truly worthy of being called the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley!"
Chen Yin stomped her feet when she saw that." Serves them right. Sisters, Once Senior Brother cos back, we are going to complain him about that bastard Shi Kuang."
" Yes! You are right! That bastard deserves to die!"
Lin Xie’s eyes turned cold when she heard Chen Yin. " Hmph! It wasn’t for that bastard earlier, we could have escaped faster."
" It’s alright, Sister Lin." Chen Yin fed Lin Xie another pill as she caressed her head.
" Senior Brother is here. You should just rest a bit. Otherwise, your internal injuries will worsen."
Not long after, they saw a figure in the sky flying towards them.
" Look! Senior Brother! He is back!"
" Senior Brother! Here!"
However, instead of landing, Long Ming’s figure crashed on the ground, creating a small human shaped crater.
Everyone beca speechless for a mont before hurrying there with concern.
" Senior Brother! Are you alright?"
" Senior Brother Long!"
Everyone there felt a strong stench of alcohol as they saw Long Ming getting up from the crater.
However, he was holding a beautiful vase and chugging down wine like he had been thirsty for years.
" Chen Yin...Lin Xie... Stay back for a bit." Long Ming’s voice was hoarse.
Suddenly, Chen Yin’s eyes brightened as she exchanged gaze with Lin Xie.
" Senior Brother, Did you kill them?"
" Uhm...Is it your old illness?"
When Chen Yin ntioned it, both her and Lin Xie’s expression turned red with blushing.
Long Ming nodded as he threw the Heavenly Urn of Frozen Flas into his spatial ring.
" You know ...I don’t have much ti before I lose my mind." He sat cross legged as he looked at them.
" Everyone, Are you alright?"
" It’s just sister Lin Xie suffered so injuries. Otherwise, we are all good."
Long Ming nodded as he threw two bottles of dicinal pills to them. " The Southern Fortress should be safe now. We should...go...leave for the...city."
Long Ming’s voice suddenly slurred as he hurriedly shook his head, as if he was desperately resisting sothing taking over him.
*PU! PU! PU! PU!*
Using his index and middle fingers, Long Ming quickly sealed his acupoints. He used the intoxication of Four Seasons Spring Wine and the remaining coldness of the Empress Winter Song’s weapons to remain sane.
" I need to rest...Just take back to city."
Long Ming closed his eyes as he entered a ditative state. His breathing beca slow, like the wind around them.
Chen Yin picked Long Ming as she popped a pill in her mouth.
" Without any delay, rush back to the city."

" Damn it! To think that bastard would employ the Dark Guards!" Jiang Wanxue bit her lips as she paced around in the quarters of Four Seasons Valley.
He expected the First Prince to pull out a trick. However, she never expected it would be so big.
" No, Emperor won’t take it lightly this ti. There is going to be a storm in the Capital."
" Young Lady, The disciples of Four Seasons Valley have returned."
" Is that so?" Jiang Wanxue breathed a sigh of relief. But looking at the troubled expression of her attendant, Jiang Wanxue’s expression turned stiff.
" What happened? Is everything alright?"
" It’s just looks like Young Master Long is injured and unconsious."
*BANG!*
Jiang Wanxue didn’t delay as she rushed outside. The disciples of Four Seasons Valley were stunned as they saw Jiang Wanxue there.
" Who are you?!"
Everyone drew their weapons as thet pointed at Jiang Wanxue.
" You...Aren’t you Young Lady of Jiang Family?" Lin Xie rembered as she looked at Jiang Wanxue.
" Yes, You are right. I am...I am also friend of Long Ming." JianG Wanxue nodded. " What happened to him? Is he injured?"
" He isn’t injured but..." Chen Yin fumbled for a mont before replying.
" It looks like his old illness has relapsed."
Jiang Wanxue’s expression turned strange when she heard that.
" Is it the illness that relapses after he kills soone?"
Lin Xie and Chen Yin were surprised when they heard the question of Jiang Wanxue.
" How do you know?"
" Could it be..."
The three won looked at each other with awkward gazes.
" So, I am saying... Let handle it." Jiang Wanxue proposed.
" No no, How could it be?" Lin Xie shook her head. " We know our Senior Brother. It’s only natural for us to help him."
" Indeed, And it’s not like we are doing it for the first ti."
" I am not inexperienced either." Jiang Wanxue snorted coldly. " I...We also did it...Quite a lot."
The entire hall beca silent once again.
The clueless attendant and disciples of Four Seasons Valley were confused.
" Senior Brother Long has an illness?"
" What is it? Why are three of them acting so strangely?"
" Besides, how did the Lady of Ancient Jiang Family know Senior Brother?"
They looked at each other with a shared conclusion.
A new opponent has appeared!
Jiang Wanxue pulled out a small box and passed it to Lin Xie. " This Dewdrop Subli Pill. It will restore your internal injuries and calm down the rampaging True Energy."
" This...This is a top grade Earth rank Pill." Lin Xie and Chen Yin’s expressions were complicated when she saw them.
" Look, I understand you want to help him. However, You are already exhausted from the battle." Jiang Wanxue pointed at them.
" Not to ntion, Lin Xie, is it? You already suffered quite so deep internal energy. You must not move recklessly."
" And speaking of moving, I hope you understand how the treatnt with Long Ming can be...exhausting." Jiang Wanxue explained to them.
Although, everyone felt a dash of pridefulness behind Jiang Wanxue’s kind words.
" He won’t like it if one of her pretty junior sisters gets crippled, right?"
" Fine, We shall do as you say," Chen Yin finally yielded.
" But don’t take too much ti with . Just...Be fast." Lin Xie couldn’t hide her annoyance as she took the dicinal pill and went to her room.
" Tsk tsk, too much jealousy that I can even sll the burn.’ Jiang Wanxue muttered inwardly.
But then, her eyes fell on Long Ming’s figure, who was in the ditating position.
" Carry him to my room. And no matter what, do not co to my room without my permission." Jiang Wanxue gave a stern warning to her guards.
" As you wish, Young Lady."

With a splash of water, Long Ming suddenly got up. He realized he was standing on top of a rooftop, with the neon light of the city flashing amidst the rain.
" Another mory fragnt?" Long Ming concluded as he looked at a figure standing beside him.
Who else it could be, other than the old him?
