1. Temporary Safety
Lin Ye followed the woman in white through a dense forest, eventually entering a hidden valley. Surrounded by tall cliffs and thick woods, the place appeared inconspicuous from the outside, but once inside, Lin Ye felt a sense of tranquility and security. It seemed to be a secluded paradise, far removed from the turmoil of the outside world.
Though doubts lingered in his heart, Lin Ye knew that he had no better option in his current situation. His wounds still caused him immense pain, and the backlash from the demonic power within him continued. He could no longer fight against the cultivators. If it hadn’t been for the woman in white’s timely intervention, he would have likely met his end right there. At this moment, all he could do was trust her temporarily, at least long enough to preserve his life while recovering.
“Thank you,” Lin Ye whispered, his voice tinged with fatigue and gratitude.
The woman in white didn’t respond, merely nodding slightly, continuing to lead him forward. Her steps were light, but each one was as firm as a rock, as if she knew every inch of the land ahead. Lin Ye followed her along the winding path, eventually reaching a secluded cave.
2. Healing and Recovery
Inside the cave, the woman in white took out some precious medicinal pills and handed them to Lin Ye. The pills emitted a strong spiritual aura, as if they could heal any wound. Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the pills.
Almost immediately, a warm force spread throughout his body. Lin Ye could feel that the pills not only healed his wounds but also suppressed the spread of the demonic power within him. His injuries quickly began to heal, the weariness gradually dissipating, and he felt his mind slowly clearing.
The woman in white silently observed from the side, her expression unchanged. She didn’t seem in a hurry to explain anything, simply guarding Lin Ye during his recovery process. Her presence acted like an invisible barrier, shielding him from any external threats.
3. Inquiring About Her Origins
Once his wounds stabilized, Lin Ye regained some strength. He sat in the cave, trying to relax, but his doubts remained. Who was this woman? Why had she saved him? What was her true purpose?
Taking a deep breath, Lin Ye finally gathered the courage to ask, “Who are you? Why did you save me?”
The woman in white still didn’t meet Lin Ye’s gaze, her voice cold and clear: “You don’t need to know my identity, nor should you concern yourself with why I saved you. For now, focus on healing and regaining your strength.”
Lin Ye frowned. Though his mind was full of questions, her cold demeanor made it clear that this was not a topic easily addressed. The woman’s aura and words revealed a sense of detachment, as though she didn’t want to form any close connection with Lin Ye. Her actions seemed driven by some purpose, rather than simple kindness.
Lin Ye didn’t press further. He understood that what he needed now was rest and recovery, not unnecessary complications. Even though her motives were unclear, at least she showed no hostility and did not harm him.
4. Conclusion
Lin Ye’s condition showed slight improvement, but the questions in his heart remained unanswered. The woman’s identity and the true reason for her intervention were still a mystery. Could she be trusted? Did her intervention mean that Lin Ye’s future would be entangled with hers? All these answers could only be revealed in the coming days as Lin Ye slowly uncovered the truth.
