She stood atop the city wall, a huge hard bow in her hand, and although her figure was still delicate, an imnse aura of authority emanated from her.
"Hulu have all been killed! The Hulu are dead!"
"Miss He is mighty! Miss He is valiant!"
Below the city wall, a small squad of about a dozen n had been completely annihilated, leaving behind a ground strewn with corpses.
Above the city wall, cheers thundered through the skies, reaching Tian Dan who presided over the city.
She hurried to the wall, gazing at the dozen or so corpses not far outside the city, and listening to the disjointed stories of the Righteous Martial Army and Beggar Gang Disciples, she felt sowhat bewildered.
What?
What had she just heard?
Her pampered and protected Tianer had actually taken Brother Chong’s hard bow and single-handedly killed a squad of cavalry?
Was this really not a dream?
Was it not like hearing sothing out of the Heavenly Book?
Even the normally astute and knowledgeable Tian Dan was dumbfounded at this mont.
"Ouch, it hurts! Mom, my arm really hurts!"
Right when Tian Dan was filled with disbelief, the whining voice of her daughter suddenly rang out beside her.
Yes, that sa voice, that sa tone.
Talk of a "Goddess Archer" or a "tiger’s daughter never being dogs," all crumbled before He Tiantian’s pitiful complaints.
"Your father’s hard bow weighs three stones. Given your usual neglect of training, how could you be accustod to using it?"
Though the words from Tian Dan were harsh, her actions were tender, as she carefully supported He Tiantian’s arm, gently lifted her sleeve, and massaged the slightly stiff arm.
Tian Dan couldn’t help but ask, "Tianer, does it hurt?"
He Tiantian pouted, "It hurts! But those Hulu deserved to die! They dared to insult my parents, so I had to take their lives!"
Her tone was still as proud and willful as ever, but this ti, not only the biased Tian Dan, but even the surrounding soldiers couldn’t help but nod vigorously.
Yes, those Hulu deserved to die!
For the first ti, they realized that Miss He’s willfulness could be so endearing...
While He Tiantian was treating wounded soldiers in Xiang City, Kang Shenxing was engaged in a battle of wits and bravery with Fu Shenxing, who was emanating an evil aura.
When He Tiantian was selecting archers from the army to form the "Divine Arrow Team", Fu Shenxing, with his similarly cunning and quirky deanor, had won Shen Tujue’s favor.
In the end, Shen Tujue not only decided to impart all his unique skills to him but also, just before dying, forcibly infused decades of his inner strength into Kang Shenxing.
In less than a month, Kang Shenxing possessed considerable inner strength, learned the once-famous Seven Extres Sword Technique, and acquired Shen Tujue’s Treasure Sword—the Broken Army Sword!
Carrying the Broken Army Sword, Kang Shenxing left the cliff, preparing to head to Xiang City.
Only, he didn’t know himself what he was going to Xiang City for.
Revenge?
That was no longer valid.
After so ti of recuperation and practice, his left arm, although not as agile as his right, was still capable of regular activities.
For instance, dressing, holding a bowl... such daily needs, he could manage.
It was just that he temporarily couldn’t exert too much force or wield a sword.
But, such hardships were not insurmountable.
The saying went, as long as the arm was still there, there was still hope.
So, Kang Shenxing really felt embarrassed to shout out "I seek revenge for my severed arm" in front of Tianer.
If not heading to Xiang City, where else could he go?
Junior Master Uncle’s whereabouts were unclear, and even if Kang Shenxing wanted to find him, he wouldn’t know where to start.
Wait, Junior Master Uncle?
Right!
I will return to Xiang City to wait for Junior Master Uncle, she knows I’m in Xiang City, once she escapes the peril, she’ll return to Xiang City to find .
Also, surely my Master would worry if I suddenly left.
After much contemplation, Kang Shenxing finally had a reason to return to Xiang City.
Carrying the Broken Army Sword, Kang Shenxing circumvented the enclosing Hulu army and stealthily entered Xiang City alone.
Yang Guo mingled among the crowd, hearing many unbelievable remarks—
"Miss He truly lives up to being Hero He’s daughter, benevolent at heart, serving the nation and the people!"
"Yes, yes, my son was serving at the city gate when those Hulu attacked, and they injured my son, but thanks to Miss He, my son was not left crippled!"
"Exactly, Miss He is the Living Bodhisattva who heals the dying and assists the injured!"
Kang Shenxing couldn’t help but look up at the sun in the sky.
Hmm, it didn’t rise from the west, the world was still normal.
But how could he be hearing such absurd and bizarre statents?
Miss He?
That’s just Tianer.
Since when had she beco the Divine Doctor praised by everyone?
What about being benevolent and saving lives?
Wait a minute!
A thought flashed through Kang Shenxing’s mind, and his gaze unconsciously fell on his own left arm.
His amputated arm had been sewn back on by Tianer.
Her dical skills were indeed very advanced.
So, it’s indeed possible that she would go and heal others.
But, the problem is, Tianer has always been a pampered, spoiled Eldest Miss; how could she possibly go out and help others?
But the shock to Kang Shenxing didn’t stop there.
He kept listening as people around continued to discuss—
