Chapter 31 The Desert
The sky is full of yellow sand, the wind howls, and a small town looms in the sand and dust of the desert.The yellow sand is like the sea, and the boundless sand dunes surround this small town, as if to swallow it completely.The dilapidated houses barely stood in the yellow sand, and the dilapidated roofs were already covered with sand, as if quietly waiting for the exhausted old man.A few shriveled dead trees outside the village reflect their mottled shadows on the golden sand dunes.These trees seem to be the prodigal sons smoothed by the wind and sand, and they are silent here.

In the wind and sand, two figures came faintly leading the horses.

The masked woman asked, "Don't you feel regretful?"

The man walked ahead without looking back: "What's the impact if you don't regret later?"

The two walked into the town, and a few ragged passers-by looked at them, but walked away on their own.

"Don't you regret that you were forced to go to such a desolate place for a person you only met once?" the woman asked again.

The man said: "Are you going to regret it just because you don't have the hustle and bustle?"

The woman could only shake her head and said, "But it's useless to say anything now, you and I are already the most wanted criminals in the world."

Not long ago, a sensational event took place in the Central Plains Wulin. In order to cover up the murderer and avenge the murderer, Xie Chen, the genius doctor with the best medical skills in the world, openly beat Zhao Tiefeng, the god of six doors, into serious injury.

Although the incident was somewhat controversial, like some people thought that killing the wicked to take revenge was justified, and Xie Chen's actions were chivalrous, but Xie Chen was eventually arrested by the court, so naturally he was also wanted.

However, there seemed to be vague rumors that what Xie Chen did was just because the murderer was beautiful.

Just like Chen Xueer, who was in the desert at this time, couldn't understand why Xie Chen would rather abandon everything to help herself.

Is there really someone who would rather give up everything to help a stranger just because he thinks revenge is justified?
Even though many rumors sounded a bit nasty, even Chen Xueer herself couldn't figure out why Xie Chen would help her if it wasn't for that.

However, the two fled all the way from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, but Xie Chen never showed the slightest emotion, and hardly even communicated in any real sense. Along the way, they were just two strangers fleeing together.

Chen Xueer was puzzled while replenishing drinking water in the broken well full of sand and gravel in the town.

Not long after, Xie Chen came back.

He just glanced at the refilled water bag and said, "Okay, let's go on."

Along the way, Chen Xueer also knew that she would not get an answer if she asked other questions, so she just said, "Have you found out the way to Tianshan?"

Xie Chen just nodded.

Chen Xueer asked again: "Will the Tianshan faction really take us in?"

Xie Chen glanced at her and said, "It should."

Chen Xueer asked again: "Since you know people from the Tianshan sect, why did you ask for directions along the way?"

Xie Chen didn't answer.

Chen Xueer had no choice but to say: "I'm just curious about taking this road that no one has ever traveled to Tianshan Mountain?"

Xie Chen finally said: "You really don't understand?"

Chen Xueer hesitated and said, "Could it be that people from the Six Doors will chase after them to the Western Regions?"

Xie Chen said disdainfully: "How could Zhao Tiefeng let me go? If he didn't take this remote road, would he wait to be caught and returned to the Central Plains?"

Chen Xueer finally kept silent.

The two of them didn't stay in the town for too long, they just added some dry food and water and set off again.

"Can you tell me about the Tianshan School?" Chen Xueer couldn't help but ask while walking on the road, "I heard that they are not easy to mess with?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Chen actually replied: "When you get to the snow mountain, you'd better not talk so much."

Chen Xueer didn't understand why.

Xie Chen said: "Tianshan faction doesn't have many rules, but there are also many secrets. If you get into trouble, I won't save you again."

Chen Xueer was stunned, and said for a while: "Why does it sound a bit strange?"

Xie Chen said: "Although the Tianshan sect is not an evil sect, it is far away in the Western Regions after all. Unlike the Central Plains sect, it always acts a bit fiercely. Your skills are just ordinary to them. I am afraid that you will not What a good face."

Chen Xueer said thoughtfully: "You mean, they will despise me?"

Xie Chen nodded.

Chen Xueer said: "As long as you don't deliberately make things difficult."

Xie Chen laughed.

Chen Xueer was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"

Xie Chen said: "Deliberately making things difficult? What do you think you are?"

Without waiting for Chen Xueer to speak, Xie Chen said: "Even if it is deliberately making things difficult, it must be Shaolin Dinghai Emei Shang Xue'e and the like to be eligible."

Chen Xueer was dumbfounded and said, "Isn't that the most outstanding person of the two sects?"

Xie Chen said: "What do you think? The Tianshan faction boasts that their martial arts are better than the Central Plains martial arts, and Wudang Shaolin is not so good. Do you think they will think highly of you in your capacity?"

Chen Xueer couldn't help but said: "This is too arrogant, isn't it? Could it be that the martial arts in the Central Plains are so unbearable?"

Xie Chen was silent.

Chen Xueer argued again: "Then what about you? If Tianshan faction is full of such arrogant people, why would you help you?"

Xie Chen wrote lightly: "Because they have no ability to look down on me."

Chen Xueer said indignantly: "Listen to what you said, could it be that you are stronger than Wudang Shaolin?"

Xie Chen said: "In terms of martial arts, of course I can't compare with Wudang Shaolin, but martial arts are not the only things that people can look up to in this world.

Chen Xueer was silent for a while before she opened her mouth and said, "Your medical skills are really as powerful as the legends say?"

Xie Chen ignored her.

Chen Xue'er finally couldn't help it and said: "You are really strange. You obviously saved me, but you didn't talk all the way. What are you thinking?"

Xie Chen finally stopped and looked at her and said, "Actually, I didn't save you."

Chen Xueer became more and more puzzled.

Xie Chen said: "Since you must ask, then I will tell you the truth, which is exactly the opposite of what you saw. It was not you who caused me to fall to this point, but I who caused you."

Chen Xueer was full of confusion.

Xie Chen said: "If you don't run away with me, even if you are arrested, the court judges the case, but it's just a vendetta, and you didn't accidentally hurt innocent people. You will probably only be given a lighter sentence. If you are lucky enough to meet an amnesty, you may not be able to bear it." What a pain in the flesh."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If it's true, why did you hurt Zhao Tiefeng for me?"

"I never said that I hurt him because of you." Xie Chen said calmly.

Chen Xueer contended: "Then why did you hurt him? Just to turn yourself from a genius doctor respected by everyone in the world into a lost dog who is now reduced to the desert of the Western Regions?"

"Anyway, just don't hate me in the future."

"Here we are." Without waiting for Chen Xueer to speak, Xie Chen said suddenly.

Chen Xueer asked in a daze, "What's here?"

Xie Chen just went to the distant oasis that could be vaguely seen in the yellow sand all over the sky, and did not answer again.

 I have something to discuss with the professor tomorrow, there is only one chapter
