PNB Chapter 110 Tranquility Gate
Chapter 110 Tranquility Gate
Seeing her senior sister go inside, Yinling blinked her big, bright eyes and asked Ye Yu curiously, "Sister, why are you wearing such a big cloak?"
Ye Yu wanted to take the opportunity to find out some information, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "My clothes are torn, so I can only wear a cloak to cover myself."
Yinling said "Oh" and nodded.
Ye Yu asked, "Were you about to go out?"
"Yes, my senior sister and I are just about to go to the fields to water the vegetables and fruits."
"Is it just the two of you watering this huge plot of land?"
Yinling shook her head: "Two more senior sisters will come out to help later. There aren't many people in our sect. Besides the necessary daily cultivation, everyone has a lot of miscellaneous things to do."
"Are all of you girls doing these things?"
"Yes, our sect only has female disciples, no male disciples."
Based on what Yinling said about the small number of people and the fact that they were all female disciples, Ye Yu could basically confirm that Jingxin Sect was a small sect, and that Xia Zhong was not a member of this sect.
Just as I thought of this, the girl who had run in earlier came out with a woman dressed in a light purple robe and with her hair tied up in a bun.
The girl pointed at Ye Yu and said, "Master, she is from the Taiyi Sect."
The woman sized up Ye Yu for a moment before speaking, "I am Zhuo Jiao, the head of the Jingxin Sect. My disciples told me that you are from the Taiyi Sect?"
Ye Yu leaned against the stone tablet engraved with the character 'Quiet' with one hand, and coughed violently a few times while clutching her chest with the other, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
She spoke with difficulty, "I apologize for disturbing you today. My name is Yu Ye, and I am indeed a member of the Taiyi Sect. I am currently seriously injured and unable to move around easily. I hope to rest and recuperate at your sect for a while."
Zhuo Jiao's eyes flickered slightly: "Since you are a member of the Taiyi Sect, you should have a special way of contacting the sect. Why don't you contact the people in the sect and instead come here alone?"
Ye Yu's mind raced, and a bitter smile appeared on her face: "To be honest, this injury was inflicted by the disciples of the sect. Our group accidentally learned the whereabouts of a spiritual herb, and after finding it, everyone started killing each other in order to seize the herb. I barely managed to escape. Now, if I contact the sect, I really can't guarantee who will arrive first."
Ye Yu spoke with genuine sincerity, and Zhuo Jiao saw that she was indeed not faking it. Those major sects had all sorts of people, and it was not surprising that they would kill each other.
Zhuo Jiao said, "My Jingxin Sect is just a small sect, and we really have no intention of causing trouble..."
Ye Yu immediately interrupted her: "Don't worry, I will leave as soon as I can move freely again. After I leave, I will never mention that you took me in. I will only remember your great kindness in my heart."
Zhuo Jiao had no intention of causing trouble; they already had enough trouble already.
But seeing that Ye Yu, a girl, was seriously injured and seemed to be barely able to stand, he sighed and said, "Please come with me."
After saying that, she instructed the two disciples beside her, "Yinchai, Yinling, you two go forward and help this young lady to the guest room."
Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhuo Jiao was willing to take her in.
She still only had a vague understanding of the Hidden Gate. Staying with the Tranquil Mind Gate would allow her to gather information and better integrate into the community, making it less likely for her to be exposed.
Yinchai and Yinling helped Ye Yu to the guest room. Ye Yu took off the cloak she was wearing, revealing her blood-stained clothes.
She hadn't changed her clothes; she was still wearing the same clothes she'd worn when she was injured, tattered and stained with blood.
Silver hairpin and silver bell carefully helped Ye Yu lie down on the bed.
Zhuo Jiao, who had been following along, naturally noticed Ye Yu's injuries. She stepped forward and said, "Miss, let me take your pulse first."
Ye Yu coughed weakly twice and extended her right hand: "Thank you, Sect Leader. You can just call me Yu Ye."
Zhuo Jiao placed her hand on Ye Yu's wrist and began to examine her injuries.
Her brows furrowed. Ye Yu's meridians were in disarray, and he had several hidden injuries in his body. He was indeed seriously injured.
She released her hand and said to Ye Yu, "Yu Ye, your injuries are indeed very serious, but our conditions here are limited, so I can only do my best to heal your injuries."
Ye Yu had been observing the Jingxin Sect. It was indeed a very small sect. The fact that Zhuo Jiao was able to take her in and heal her injuries showed that she was a kind-hearted person.
She looked grateful: "It's already my good fortune that you took me in, but I lost my luggage and can't repay you. Once I recover and return to the sect, I will definitely thank you with generous gifts."
Zhuo Jiao waved her hand and said to Yinchai, who was standing to the side, "Go and boil some water so that Yu Ye can take a bath first."
He then instructed Yinling, "Go and prepare some food and bring it here."
Finally, she said to Ye Yu, "I'll prescribe a medicine for you and brew some for you to take."
Ye Yu expressed her gratitude once again.
After the three of them left the room, the room became quiet.
Ye Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, muttering to herself, "It seems the people of the Tranquil Mind Sect are quite kind. I'll stay here to heal for now and leave once I'm fully recovered. I'll give them some things then to thank them for taking care of me these past few days."
For the next two days, Ye Yu stayed peacefully at Jingxin Gate to recuperate.
During this time, she also subtly inquired about the affairs of the Hidden Sect, as well as the origins of the Taiyi Sect and Xia Zhong, from the mouths of the Jingxin Sect members.
However, the Jingxin Sect is a small sect, and we don't know much about it.
That day, Ye Yu was strolling around the courtyard wearing the same blue clothes as the disciples of the Jingxin Sect. When she arrived at the main hall, she saw Zhuo Jiao sitting on a chair with tears streaming down her face. Two girls were crying on her knees, and the female disciples around her were also sobbing silently.
She heard Zhuo Jiao say, "It's all Master's fault for being incompetent and unable to protect you. If you marry that beast Wang Tao, your lives will be ruined."
One of the girls clinging to her wiped away her tears and said, "Master, it's not your fault. It's already been so difficult for you to adopt us and raise us to adulthood. We are willing to sacrifice the two of us to protect our fellow disciples."
Zhuo Jiao shook her head with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that Wang Tao will not give up his evil intentions and will continue to keep an eye on our sect. Then..."
As she spoke, she looked at the beautiful young women with a pang of heartache.
The crowd's cries grew louder; they understood what Zhuo Jiao meant.
The fear is that once Wang Tao gets tired of the two women, he will set his sights on the other female disciples of the Jingxin Sect.
The other girl lying on top of her said, "Master, my senior sister and I will find an opportunity to assassinate him. If we succeed, then no one will be able to threaten us anymore."
Zhuo Jiao stroked her hair: "That beast Wang Tao is highly skilled in martial arts, not to mention he's a wicked and bloodthirsty man with hands covered in blood. Hasn't he abducted many women? Surely there are others who think the same as you, but he's still alive and well, isn't he?"
Everyone fell silent. Wang Tao was not only bloodthirsty by nature, but also ruthless. Once you offended him, you would suffer a fate worse than death.
As if struck by a sudden thought, Yinling immediately said to Zhuo Jiao, "Isn't Sister Yu Ye a member of the Taiyi Sect? Can we ask her for help?"
Zhuo Jiao pondered for a moment and shook her head: "Yu Ye is only hiding here to recover from her injuries because of the infighting among her fellow disciples. We can't implicate her. Tomorrow, Yinling, you stay in the guest room with her until Wang Tao leaves. Also, don't tell Yu Ye about this."
Silver Bell nodded sullenly: "I understand."
Ye Yu stood at the door, roughly understanding what had happened, and then turned and left the lobby.
