Chapter 6

"What's wrong?"

Yin Xiu had already picked up the bag and phone for Ji Xueqing. Hearing her cry of pain, he couldn't help but turn around to ask.

Ji Xueqing gently rubbed her right ankle, frowning slightly, and said, "I must have twisted it, it hurts a bit."

"Is that so? Do you want me to take a look?" Yin Xiu asked.

"Sure, that would be great, thank you for the trouble."

Yin Xiu turned around, handed the bag and phone back to Ji Xueqing, and then squatted down. "Lean on my shoulder to keep your balance, so you don't fall over later."

"Okay!"

Ji Xueqing responded. She checked her phone and bag; the phone had some dents on the corners but wasn't damaged. The bag's strap, however, had been torn off.

Once Ji Xueqing placed her hand on his shoulder, Yin Xiu reached out and held her ankle, gently pulling off her shoe.

Ji Xueqing hadn't felt much at first, but when Yin Xiu touched her ankle, she suddenly blushed, her fair face turning red.

"It's not serious, just a slight twist. I'll massage it, and it should be fine." Yin Xiu didn't use his spiritual senses to check; he just felt her ankle and knew what was wrong.

"Okay."

Ji Xueqing responded in a low, almost inaudible voice. She looked down at Yin Xiu, who was gently massaging her ankle and moving the joint back and forth. Feeling the warmth and gentleness of his hand on her smooth ankle, she couldn't help but bite her lower lip, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes.

After all, they had just met, or perhaps they hadn't even properly met. Such intimate contact, combined with Yin Xiu's rescue, inevitably made Ji Xueqing's heart flutter a little.

Yin Xiu, clearly not thinking as much as Ji Xueqing, soon released her ankle and said, "It's all done. Try to see if it still hurts."

Yin Xiu helped her put her shoe back on, patted his hands, and stood up.

"Okay, I'll try."

Ji Xueqing immediately took a few steps. Indeed, her ankle didn't hurt as much, only feeling a bit uncomfortable. Compared to the earlier pain, it was almost negligible for normal walking.

"It really doesn't hurt anymore!"

Ji Xueqing said with some surprise. She looked up at Yin Xiu and thanked him gratefully, "Thank you! I didn't expect you to be so skilled. Just a few massages and you fixed my twisted ankle, amazing!"

At the end, Ji Xueqing asked, "Are you an orthopedic doctor?"

Yin Xiu smiled slightly and shook his head, "Not really, I just have some experience with sprains and bruises. It's good that you're fine."

"Okay!"

"Thank you so much today. If you hadn't appeared to save me, I can't even imagine the consequences..."

Ji Xueqing still felt a lingering fear when she thought about the earlier danger.

She rarely went home so late alone. Today, she had been delayed by some matters, and who would have thought she would be so unlucky to be targeted by those two men with ill intentions, almost being robbed and assaulted.

Fortunately, Yin Xiu appeared to save her.

However, after this lesson, Ji Xueqing probably wouldn't dare to walk alone at night anymore.

"You're welcome. It's very late, you should go home early," Yin Xiu said.

"Okay, thank you. I'll go home now, see you!" Ji Xueqing waved to Yin Xiu.

Yin Xiu nodded slightly and responded, "See you!"

Ji Xueqing then left with her bag. After she walked a bit away, Yin Xiu leaped up and flew to the overpass.

After walking a distance from the overpass, Ji Xueqing suddenly remembered something important.

"Oh no! I forgot to ask for his contact information." Ji Xueqing slapped her forehead and turned to look back at the overpass, hoping to see if Yin Xiu was still there. If he was, she would go back and ask for his contact information.

Unfortunately, no matter how carefully she looked, she couldn't find Yin Xiu.

Unable to see Yin Xiu, Ji Xueqing lightly hit her head in frustration, "How could I forget to ask for his contact information! Now I can't even invite him for a meal to thank him."

At this moment, Ji Xueqing realized she hadn't even asked for his name.

"This is really frustrating. He saved me, and I didn't even ask for his contact information to thank him, and I don't even know his name. Really..."

Ji Xueqing didn't know how to describe her frustration. It was the first time she felt so clumsy.

"I hope I can meet him again someday."

Ji Xueqing looked back at the empty overpass and sighed, feeling a bit dejected. In a sea of people, how easy would it be to meet him again?

Ji Xueqing couldn't help but recall Yin Xiu's appearance. For some reason, her heart beat a little faster.

"I hope I can meet him again. Although today was unlucky, almost being robbed and assaulted, ... that person is really handsome. I wonder what he eats and how he maintains his skin, it's even better than mine!"

Ji Xueqing muttered to herself, finally收回目光，朝着家的方向走去。

On the overpass, Yin Xiu sat cross-legged by the roadside, continuing to meditate. Xiaoman, the small furry creature, emerged from his pocket, curled up with its fluffy tail, and prepared to sleep.

Saving Ji Xueqing was just a minor effort for Yin Xiu, and he didn't take it to heart.

One could say Ji Xueqing's luck wasn't that bad, as Yin Xiu happened to be nearby. Otherwise, she might have been assaulted by those two men.

Unconsciously, the sky began to turn a faint white, the night fading into dawn.

Yin Xiu opened his eyes and stood up. With a wave of his hand, the awakened Xiaoman quickly darted onto his shoulder.

He walked to the edge of the overpass and looked at the occasional cars passing by in the distance. Then, he performed a spell to remove the dust from his body and used the same spell on Xiaoman. He then walked down the overpass with Xiaoman.

Strolling down the quiet, cold road, he didn't walk far before seeing some breakfast shops opening their roller shutters, making a series of 'swoosh' sounds.

Some steaming breakfast carts also began to appear on the roadside.

Because he had used a soul-searching technique on someone the previous night, obtaining most of their memories, Yin Xiu was no longer unfamiliar with these things or this era.

He slowly walked toward 'Yin Hai University,' and the streets gradually became lively. Many people who started work early were already up and having breakfast.

Yin Xiu no longer needed to rely on food for energy to sustain his life. After years of cultivation, he had reached the Golden Core stage and could abstain from food.

Naturally, he had no intention of buying breakfast.

Of course, he didn't have any money on him.

However, Xiaoman, whom he held in his arms, seemed to smell the aroma of the breakfast and sniffed, then looked up and chirped at Yin Xiu.

Yin Xiu smiled slightly, gently rubbed Xiaoman's head, and took out a spirit fruit from his storage ring, tossing it to Xiaoman, "Eat up!"

Xiaoman held the spirit fruit with its little paws and started munching away.

The distance to Yin Hai University wasn't long, but Yin Xiu took about half an hour to walk there.

He hadn't been in the secular world for a long time, and this place was very different from the secular world of the Starry Shore and the Yin Hai of eighty years ago in his memory.

So, he strolled along, looking around. He had plenty of time and wasn't in a hurry.

Half an hour later, Yin Xiu arrived at the entrance of Yin Hai University. It was already 6:30 in the morning, and the sky was bright with the summer sun.

The gates of Yin Hai University were already open, with a few students and vehicles entering and exiting.

Yin Xiu looked around and walked toward the entrance.

He had been a bit hesitant about whether the security guard would stop and question him, but the guard didn't even pay attention to him.
