Broken Bonds

Chapter 45

That night, in the dense forest, at the west mountain, western side of the city.

Beitang Ao followed the cryptic sign left by Ximen Yue and found what was hidden under the dead tree.

"Sect Master, what's the matter?"

"Things have changed." Beitang Ao raised the secret letter in his hand. "We are going to the border of Yue to meet them."

The Four Heavenly Sect Sub-rudder has been stationed in Hwaseong for many years. It has staggered and stretched in layers. It was not so easy to withdraw all of them overnight.

Now that there is a head-on conflict with the Yue Kingdom, in order to ensure that all people in Four Heavenly Sect evacuate safely, Ximen Yue and hundreds of brothers have already rushed to the border first.

They will leave signals along the way to keep in touch.

Beitang Ao looked at the dark dense forest and suddenly blew a loud whistle.

A moment later, a black horse with four hooves white like snow ran out, it was Mo Xue followed by a maroon horse.

Ximen Yue was more thoughtful than he imagined, he kept the horses for them.

Beitang Ao took Mo Xue, stroked his mane, and leaped on his horse. Yan Feili also stepped on the maroon horse.

"Go!" The horse galloped and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

The two rode all the way till dawn, and finally they were out on the outskirts of Hwaseong's hunting range.

The mountains and forests in the early morning were densely covered with thick fog, bringing the cold air after autumn which was also damp.

When they came to a secluded stream, Beitang Ao glanced at Yan Feili and said, "Feili, let's take a rest here."

"Okay."

They led the horse to the stream to drink.

The two also briefly cleaned themselves in the cold stream.

Beitang Ao felt that Yan Feili's complexion was not very good. He had barely recovered from a serious illness and galloped all night. Although his internal strength had recovered, he was still a little weak.

Yan Feili took off the rucksack left by Ximen Yue from his horse. The prepared items were complete, other than silver, there were medicines, clothes, and so on., as well as dry food.

Yan Feili carried the rucksack and walked out towards Beitang Ao under the big tree by the stream, but stopped suddenly, he felt like a gleam just appeared in front of him.

"Feili!" Beitang Ao was surprised and came over to support him.

"What's the matter with you?" Seeing that he looked different, he quickly led him to sit down under the tree.

"The subordinate is fine." Yan Feili cheered up and went on to open the baggage, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't unfold the rucksack.

He finally opened it after shaking for a while. He picked up a steamed bun, and wanted to pass it to Beitang Ao, but with a shudder, the steamed bun fell to the ground.

Yan Feili didn't expect the effect of the Miduo Pill would attack so soon.

Maybe it was because of his internal force that was used last night, and then galloping all the way, his blood circulation had accelerated, and the pill potency was stimulated.

Beitang Ao knew what he looked like. "Feili, has the medicine giving you an attack?" 

Yan Feili nodded with difficulty.

Seeing him tightly clenching his lips, Beitang Ao couldn't help trembling, clenching his fists, as if he was the one holding back the pain.

"Sect..Sect Master, for example, if this subordinate can't hold it anymore, please tie me up..." Because this was the first time, neither of them was psychologically prepared, neither thinking of the Miduo Pill effects not only came without a warning, but also attacking his system so violently.

Yan Feili has done his best, he had to spit out these words with difficulty.

In an instant, Yan Feili's muscles stiffened uncontrollably. He knew that they had not completely escaped the danger now, but he had to survive this in anyway.

Beitang Ao couldn't tap his acupuncture points, which will make the meridians run poorly, and the accumulated toxins will be difficult to discharge, so he could only watch him resist the seizures.

But even though he knew that it could only be so, how could he be indifferent when he really was seeing his appearance like this? 

Yan Feili felt terribly uncomfortable. He couldn't tell what it was like, but felt that he's gradually losing control of himself.

His hands were tightly clenched, the nails were digging into the flesh, blood was leaking down on his hands, his body trembling more severely.

Beitang Ao saw that his mind was starting to be confused, and the pain was getting worse. He was afraid that he could not bear the poisonous attack and might have self-harm. Finally, he couldn't help but hug him from behind, took his hand on his own and forced Yan Feili's fingers to smash on his fists and let him grip his hand tightly.

The sun gradually rose, and the air also gave out a hot temperature.

Under the lush trees, beside the stream with water flowing, Beitang Ao was still hugging Yan Feili tightly, and both of them were already bathed in cold sweat.

After two or three hours, the symptoms of the pills' onset were finally relieved.

Yan Feili didn't know when he passed out in Beitang Ao's arms.

Bei Tang Ao put his pulse at ease temporarily. He carefully let him lean against the tree, then pulled away and stood up.

Beitang Ao's whole body was a little stiff, but he can imagine the situation of Yan Feili was much worse.

He took out a coat from the rucksack and covered Yan Feili with it.

Beitang Ao looked at his sleeping form, and knew that he had spent a lot of energy just now.

He realized that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

When he walked to the stream, he saw that the woods were secluded, with only the two of them and two quiet horses around. Without thinking, Beitang Ao took off all of his clothes and jumped into the stream.
