Chapter 5339

Kai took off his outer robe as instructed, revealing a shallow wound on his left arm. It was caused by the flying debris when the black-robed man blew himself up. Although the wound was not deep, it still retained a trace of evil spirit.

When Ling Xue saw the wound, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes. She carefully used a cloth dipped in spiritual water to gently wipe the blood around the wound. Her movements were so gentle as if she was afraid of hurting him.

The warmth of the spiritual water and the fragrance of the immortal grass intertwined together, and a comfortable warmth came from the wound, and the remaining evil spirit gradually dissipated.

“Brother, you must be more careful next time.”

As Ling Xue applied medicine to his wound, she whispered softly, her voice choking with sobs, “I know you’re very capable, but I still worry… Worried that something might happen to you, worried that I’ll never see you again…”

Kai looked at her lowered eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and his heart softened. He raised his hand and gently stroked her hair: “Silly girl, I promise you, I will be more careful in the future.”

Ling Xue raised her head, tears welling in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall: “Brother, I heard from Master that you are going to go with Master Hu to find the main hall of the Evil Dao Palace, right?”

Kai was startled, then nodded: “Yes. The Hu family’s spirit is in the main hall, and I can’t let Master Hu go alone. Moreover, the Sixth Hall Master of the Temple has repeatedly targeted me, so I must go to the Sixth Hall of the Sixth Heaven Temple as well.”

Ling Xue bit her lip and was silent for a moment before she slowly said, “I know I can’t stop you. You have your ambitions and things you want to do. I can’t be a burden to you.”

She took a deep breath, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes. “I will train hard in Sword Saint City and wait for your return. When I become stronger, I will be able to fight alongside you next time we are in danger!”

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Kai was deeply touched.

He knew that Ling Xue was no longer the little girl who needed his constant protection. She had her own growth and pride.

“good.”

Kai smiled and nodded, “I’ll wait until you become stronger. Then we can fight side by side.”

As the night deepened, the Sword Sect’s headquarters gradually became quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the fluctuations of spiritual power from the disciples’ cultivation.

Ling Xue did not leave. She sat next to Kai and packed his luggage for tomorrow, a few bottles of medicine, and the magic herbs she picked herself.

As she sorted things out, she kept nagging and admonishing, “Brother, the immortal energy of the sixth heaven is denser than that of the fifth heaven. When practicing, you should pay attention to controlling your spiritual power and don’t be greedy for too much.

If you encounter an unfamiliar monster, be sure to observe it carefully first and don’t act rashly;

Also, carry this bottle of ‘Qingxin Dan’ with you. If you are attacked by evil spirits, it can help you calm your mind…”

Kai listened patiently, occasionally nodding in agreement.

He knew that behind these instructions was Ling Xue’s reluctance and concern.

“Lingxue,” Kai interrupted her, his voice low and gentle, “After I finish dealing with the Sixth Heaven’s affairs and find the main hall of the Evil Path Palace, I will definitely come back to find you.”

Ling Xue stopped what she was doing and looked up at him, her eyes full of attachment: “Brother, I’ll wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I’ll wait for you.”

She stood up and gently threw herself into Kai’s arms, hugging his waist tightly with both hands, resting her cheek on his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat.

Kai raised his hands and hugged her, the fragrance of her hair lingering on his nose, and his heart was filled with tenderness.

“Brother,” Ling Xue’s voice was muffled, “I…I want you to remember me.”

Kai lowered his head, looked at the top of the head of the person in his arms, and said softly: “I will never forget you.”

As the night deepens, the lights in the room flicker, reflecting two figures hugging each other, full of reluctance and warmth.

“Are you still in pain?” Kai asked Ling Xue tenderly!
