A group of half-naked men walked through the dark passageway and stepped out of the prison.

They no longer felt chilly when they basked in the Sunlight. At that moment, they felt as if they had just escaped from death’s door.

The experience would never be forgotten. Naturally, they would try to avoid getting into the prison again in the future.

Zhou Kui and Zhang Cheng left with their team members in a hurry. Before that, Zhou Kui stared resentfully at Lu Ye.

“I’m sorry for dragging you into this, Yi Ye,” Geng Wuwang said.

Lu Ye looked in the direction Zhou Kui had left and shook his head. “It might not be your fault.”

“What do you mean?” Geng Wuwang was puzzled.

“I suppose Zhou Kui’s target is me. Several days ago, I went to the Zhou Residence and captured someone from their family,” Lu Ye explained.

Initially, he thought that it was because Geng Wuwang couldn’t hold in his fury, which led to a confrontation between the teams.

But when he learned that the person who had exchanged moves with him was named Zhou Kui, he suddenly realised what was going on.

When the confrontation broke out, he went to help out in a hurry, and Zhou Kui immediately intercepted him. At that time, he felt something was off. Zhou Kui was a Body-tempering Cultivator in the Ninth-Order Real Lake Realm. There wasn’t a reason for him to target Lu Ye.

In that situation, he should’ve set his eyes on Geng Wuwang. Since his name was Zhou Kui, that explained everything.

When Lu Ye captured Zhou Wang at the Zhou Residence, the Elder Zhou Ze brought up the name Zhou Kui, hoping that Lu Ye would let Zhou Wang off as Zhou Kui also worked for the Ministry of Laws.

However, Lu Ye didn’t even know who Zhou Kui was. Not only did he confiscate the valuable items given to him by Zhou Ze, but he also barged into the Zhou Residence and took Zhou Wang away from their cultivators.

Zhou Kui must have heard of the news, which was why the incident at Hundred Fragrance Restaurant even happened.

Perhaps one of the reasons was that they already held some grudges against Team A3, but Zhou Kui certainly wanted to seize this chance to teach Lu Ye a lesson and vent his anger.

Much to his surprise, Lu Ye had a greater physical strength than he did. In the end, he was the one getting taught a lesson instead.

Geng Wuwang had no idea what had happened. Upon hearing Lu Ye’s tale, he grinned and said, “It has already happened anyway. Regardless of who’s at fault, both of us have suffered together. Let’s go to the medical centre.”

Normally, a law enforcement team wouldn’t have a Medical Cultivator. That was because Medical Cultivators were rare, so it couldn’t be guaranteed that every team had one.

That was the reason the medical centre existed. If the cultivators were injured, they could seek medical treatment at the medical centre in Grand Sky City. All the costs were borne by the Zhou Watch. When the Medical Cultivators treated the injuries of these cultivators, they would earn some battle points as well.

Lu Ye was aware of the medical centre, but he had never been there. He had heard that they had many beautiful Medical Cultivators from different Sects in Jiu Zhou. Certainly, there were male Medical Cultivators as well.

The medical centre belonged to the Ministry of Medicine, which was responsible for managing all the Medical Cultivators of the Zhou Watch. Strictly speaking, all the Medical Cultivators who stayed in the Passes at the front line were directly managed by the Ministry of Medicine.

Geng Wuwang led the way as they soon arrived at the medical centre.

Many cultivators were entering and leaving the place. It was only normal that cultivators would get into fights and become injured. Even when they recovered, they might be left with hidden health concerns.

Naturally, they had to frequently visit the medical centre. They were either there to get their injuries treated or seek treatment for their hidden health concerns. The Medical Cultivators in the medical centre were already used to it.

Geng Wuwang and the others entered the medical centre and produced their military tokens, after which some people led them to the rooms to await medical treatment.

Lu Ye lay on his stomach on the bed, showing his badly wounded back. Lin Yinxiu took a seat beside him and asked caringly, “Does it hurt, Team Leader?”

“Stop asking the obvious!” Lu Ye snapped. It was his first time discovering that it wasn’t a good idea to have a female cultivator in one’s team. When they made a mistake, the team leader had to bear the punishment of getting struck by the Reverse Dragon Spine in her stead as well.

Lin Yinxiu stuck out her tongue. “You don’t have to be punished in my stead next time. I can bear the punishment myself.”

Lu Ye ignored her.

How did he have the audacity to not bear Lin Yinxiu’s punishment for her when Qian Wudang was around at that time? Moreover, it was indeed inappropriate for a woman to be punished like that. All the men were badly wounded. Considering One-Eyed Man’s temperament, he probably wouldn’t hold back his power when punishing women.

As they spoke, a female cultivator opened the door and entered the room before saluting Lu Ye. “Greetings, Senior Brother. I’m Yu Xiao Tiea of the Ministry of Medicine. I’ve received an order to treat your injury.”

Lu Ye lifted his head and saw a face he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Hey!” The female cultivator was pleasantly surprised when she made out Lu Ye’s face. “Big Brother Lu!”

“Junior Sister Yu!” Lu Ye flashed a smile at her. “It’s a small world, huh? I didn’t expect to see you here.”

The woman called herself Yu Xiao Tiea, and she happened to be the one that Lu Ye knew.

It had been several years since they parted ways at Evil Moon Valley.

At that time, they were rescued by the Grand Sky Coalition. One of them only had one Spiritual Point opened up while the other had two. Now, one was a Fifth-Order Real Lake Realm Master. Although the other wasn’t a Real Lake Realm Master yet, she was in the Cloud River Realm. Lu Ye couldn’t identify her Minor Realm, though.

Many things had changed in several years.

Yu Xiao Tiea didn’t expect that Lu Ye was the patient, so she was elated. “Why are you in Grand Sky City, Big Brother Lu?”

Upon asking the question, she realised something. “I heard that several teams from the Ministry of Laws got into a scuffle and were sent to the prison. Big Brother Lu, were you…”

“I was one of them.” Lu Ye felt bitter deep within. It was said that bad news travelled fast. Since those from the medical centre had heard of the news, everyone in Grand Sky City must be aware of the incident as well.

“It must be their fault!” Yu Xiao Tiea was furious. “Anyway, you’re incredible, Big Brother Lu. You’re part of the Ministry of Laws now. I’ve heard that it’s prestigious to be a member of the Ministry of Laws.”

Lu Ye was torn between tears and laughter. Women indeed looked at things differently. He said, “It’s truly prestigious, but many people are resentful of us because what we do is offensive.”

“It’s fine. If you’re injured next time, come to the medical centre and look for me, I’ll treat your wounds.”

Lin Yinxiu had been listening to their conversation. All of a sudden, she said, “Junior Sister, if you still don’t treat his injury, he’ll die from severe bleeding.”

Yu Xiao Tiea exclaimed and apologised to him with a red face. “I’m sorry, Big Brother Lu. I’ve forgotten about it.”

Then, she quickly sat down beside the bed and fished out some medical supplies from the Storage Bag to treat Lu Ye’s injury.

“If my memory serves me right, you joined Hundred Flower Valley back then,” Lu Ye said calmly.

At the Evil Moon Valley in the past, Lu Ye heeded Pang Da Hai’s advice and chose the Crimson Blood Sect. On the other hand, Yu Xiao Tiea chose Hundred Flower Valley. Both of them were accepted and became cultivators.

“Yes,” Yu Xiao Tiea replied. “I’ve heard a lot about you in the past few years. Many Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters in the Valley admire you. When they found out that I knew you, they were envious of me.”

“You must’ve heard many bad things about me.” Lu Ye smiled.

“That’s not true. I’ve always heard how incredible you are. You’re still famous throughout the Spirit Creek Battlefield. Your heroic tales are shared among the cultivators on the Cloud River Battlefield.” After a pause, she continued, “It must’ve been tough for you in the past few years.”

Others only knew that Lu Ye lived a glorious life, but they didn’t know his struggles and what he had gone through. Yu Xiao Tiea had a different perspective from others. When she heard those thrilling tales, she could imagine Lu Ye being in perilous situations.

“I’m fine,” Lu Ye replied nonchalantly. He had certainly endured a lot of hardship, but he had also gained many things.

Yu Xiao Tiea treated his injury while talking to him. It was apparent that she was in a jolly mood.

Lin Yinxiu only sat silently there without interrupting them.

An hour later, Yu Xiao Tiea said, “You have a robust body, Big Brother Lu. Although you look battered, you’re generally fine. Just come here for a follow-up in two days.”

Lu Ye got to his feet and moved his limbs. Feeling energetic, he praised the woman by saying, “You’re skilful, Junior Sister.”

Yu Xiao Tiea smiled sweetly. “That’s all I can do for you. I hope you’re pleased with it.” She paused for a moment. “However, since you’re always travelling around and getting into fights, you might’ve been left with hidden injuries. When you have some time in the future, come to look for me here. I’ll introduce a Senior Sister in the Real Lake Realm to you so that she can help heal your hidden injuries.”

“Sure.” Lu Ye directly agreed to it and put on his clothes.

A moment later, he and Lin Yinxiu left the room. Xiao Xinghe was waiting for them in the corridor.

After they gathered together, they bid Yu Xiao Tiea farewell and returned to their residence.

As soon as they landed in the courtyard, they saw Tang Yi Feng, Amber, and Yi Yi waiting for them.

Amber ran away the moment Qian Wudang showed up. Qian Wudang pretended that he never saw the tiger. It wasn’t like he could punish a Spirit Beast as well.

Of everyone involved in the scuffle, only Amber was spared the punishment.

The three of them quickly saluted Tang Yi Feng, who glanced at Xiao Xinghe and Lu Ye before asking, “Did you suffer?”

Lu Ye replied, “Third Senior Brother suffered slightly, but I got my revenge.”

Tang Yi Feng nodded in satisfaction. “I’m glad you were not at a disadvantage. Since you’re injured, get some rest for the next few days. Don’t go anywhere else.”

“Yes.”

Tang Yi Feng was there to have a look at them. Since they were fine, he soon left the place.

Yi Yi went over and expressed her concern. Naturally, Lu Ye said he was fine so that she wouldn’t worry.

Nothing much happened in the next few days. Lu Ye recovered quickly. After all, he had the broken Source of Soaring Dragon Boundary, which gave him immense vitality. Regardless of how much damage the Reverse Dragon Spine caused, he only suffered some flesh wounds.

One-Eyed Man wouldn’t hurt the veins and bones of those getting punished.

During this period, he went to the medical centre for a follow-up. Yu Xiao Tiea had probably told everyone about him, so many Medical Cultivators came to look at him with fervour.

He had received his monthly salary and passed even more Explosive Fire Spirit Stones to Cheng Xiu. His battle points were finally replenished.

The first thing he did was to purchase a Tracking Disc, but it wasn’t for completing a task.

It cost a lot of battle points to purchase Tracking Discs and carry out tasks, so he couldn’t keep on doing so sustainably.
