197 Nie Yin Is Rescued

Nie Yin had mixed feelings when he saw Nie Lin.

Nie Yin knew that Nie Lin must have saved him.

Recalling his attitude towards Nie Lin before he set off for Spirit Mountain, Nie Yin felt ashamed.

Nie Lin saw through Nie Yin’s emotions and comforted him. “It was just a momentary loss of composure. You’re still injured, so get some rest.”

As Nie Yin lay on the bed, he stared at Nie Lin for a long time before saying, “Thank you for saving my life, First Elder!”

!!

Nie Lin smiled. “It’s fine! If Tianming hadn’t suddenly rushed out crazily, we might not have been able to find you!”

Not knowing what this had to do with the spirit beast raised at home, Nie Yin looked at Nie Lin in confusion.

Tianming was a golden reindeer that Nie Yin had unintentionally saved at Spirit Mountain’s vicinity. At that time, Nie Yin had entered Spirit Mountain for the third time to find a cave, but he kept circling Spirit Mountain’s vicinity without being able to enter.

Ever since he and Li Ling entered the periphery of Spirit Mountain to search for spiritual herbs, he had been coveting the legendary cave. However, he had never been able to find it.

That time, they went up the mountain with oil lamps when it was close to nighttime to see if they could find the cave at night. Just as they approached Spirit Mountain, Nie Yin suddenly discovered a reindeer surrounded by a group of wolves.

The reindeer wasn’t as tall as ordinary reindeer. Its small size didn’t seem to be enough to fill the gaps between the wolves’ teeth. Nie Yin immediately ordered them to expel the wolves to save the reindeer.

Originally, he thought that the rescued reindeer would escape alone. He didn’t expect it to follow Nie Yin and the others all the way to Spirit Mountain.

At night, Spirit Mountain was even more terrifying. It was almost impossible to move in the pitch-black forest.

After Nie Yin and the others walked around the mountain, they found nothing, so they planned to return the way they came. Unexpectedly, the mountain path was rugged and after several turns, they could no longer find the way back.

Just as Nie Yin was at a loss, Tianming walked in front of Nie Yin. It nudged Nie Yin’s chest with its nose, indicating for him to follow it.

Although Nie Yin was a little hesitant, he had no choice but to follow the reindeer in an unknown direction.

It wasn’t until the sun rose from between the mountains that Nie Yin saw that they were on the main road.

He was grateful for the reindeer’s guidance, so he brought it back to the Nie family’s residence.

Tianming also got its name because of the sunrise.

He originally thought that most of the spirit beasts on Spirit Mountain were wild and difficult to tame. To his surprise, not only did Tianming stay with the Nie family and refuse to leave, but he even ran to Nie Yin’s room every day to wheedle at him.

Ever since Nie Yin left the Nie residence a few days ago, Tianming had been acting irritable and uneasy. No matter how the servant who had tamed it coaxed it, they couldn’t calm it down.

Helpless, the servant told Nie Lin about this situation.

Nie Lin’s first reaction was that something had happened to Nie Yin!

Therefore, they brought Tianming to Spirit Mountain that day.

After searching for three days, they finally found the unconscious Nie Yin in a pile of rocks at the foot of Spirit Mountain.

At that time, Nie Yin was surrounded by the corpses of the guards who had followed him up the mountain.

Below him, there was the corpse of High Heaven Pavilion’s Deputy Pavilion Master, Zi Xuan.

Nie Lin immediately realized that Nie Yin and the others had encountered Zi Xuan on Spirit Mountain. For some reason, the two sides had fought.

Nie Lin thought that Nie Yin’s guards died protecting him, and he killed Zi Xuan at the last moment. And in the end, Nie Yin fell to the ground and couldn’t get up anymore.

Nie Lin was worried that if High Heaven Pavilion found out about this, they would cause trouble for the Nie family.

Although the Nie Family was also one of the five great clans, they didn’t want to become enemies with a sect like High Heaven Pavilion.

Therefore, Nie Lin instructed someone to dispose of Zi Xuan’s corpse and bury the corpses of the guards on the spot.
