Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Watching Qin Yi's anxious face and strained breathing, Chen Tian suddenly chuckled, reached out, and gently stroked her head, saying softly, "Silly girl, what are you thinking? If something had happened to me, I wouldn't be standing in front of you right now."

Hearing Chen Tian's words and feeling his strong and reassuring arm, Qin Yi was first stunned, then let out a long sigh. Her anxious expression gradually eased, and she smiled sweetly.

Seeing this, Chen Tian felt as if a ray of warm sunshine had shone into his heart, and he smiled as well.

Immediately afterward, Chen Tian spoke in a gentle tone, continuing his story.

At that time, Chen Tian didn't know how long he had been unconscious. His consciousness was adrift in a thick darkness, quietly wandering.

However, Chen Tian didn't feel any pain. On the contrary, he felt exceptionally relaxed and comfortable in the embrace of the darkness, as if he were sweeping away all the fatigue and pain that had accumulated over the past few years.

If he could, Chen Tian really wanted to just keep sleeping like that.

But just then, a series of calls suddenly drilled into his ears, anxiously and fearfully repeating his name.

Hearing these voices, Chen Tian seemed to realize something. His body jolted, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

After waking up from the dizziness of suddenly waking up, a young figure with tears streaming down their face rushed into his sight. It was Xiao Long, who had woken up a day earlier than him.

Seeing that Chen Tian had finally woken up from his deep sleep, Xiao Long cried out 'Wuwu' even more fiercely, then threw himself into Chen Tian's arms, crying as if he were both being spoiled and feeling happy.

While patting Xiao Long on the back to comfort him, Chen Tian slowly turned his head, trying to figure out where they were.

Chen Tian looked around and found many herbs and cabinets nearby. A strong medicinal scent kept drilling into his nose.

Only then did Chen Tian confirm that he was in a pharmacy.

Soon, Chen Tian's guess was confirmed. Perhaps attracted by Xiao Long's crying, an elderly man in a long robe, about eighty years old, walked over from the front desk.

When Chen Tian saw the old man, his first reaction was to think it was the old man who had gotten off the carriage and saved them. However, after careful identification, Chen Tian suddenly dismissed this idea.

Although the old man's appearance had become extremely blurred in Chen Tian's mind, he could be sure that the man was definitely not the white-haired old man in front of him.

Through the subsequent conversation, Chen Tian finally learned that the old man who had saved them was the owner of an inn. He had been out purchasing a batch of goods and happened to meet Chen Tian and Xiao Long on the way back. When they were unconscious, he had rescued them and sent them to this pharmacy, while also paying for their medical expenses.

At the same time, Chen Tian also learned that the cold he had contracted was actually more serious than Xiao Long's. After all, Chen Tian had given almost all the edible things to Xiao Long, while he himself had filled his stomach with wild fruits and weeds, so his physical condition was much worse than Xiao Long's.

It could be said that if they had arrived any later, both of them would have died.

Originally, the innkeeper had planned to leave after confirming that Chen Tian had woken up, but unfortunately, Chen Tian had been in a deep sleep ever since, lasting for several days. The innkeeper had to leave one step ahead because he still had business to manage in the inn.

It had been three days since he left before Chen Tian woke up.

In other words, Chen Tian still didn't remember what the innkeeper who saved him looked like, which was undoubtedly a regret in Chen Tian's heart.

After recuperating in the pharmacy for a period of time, Chen Tian and Xiao Long were finally almost well. So they said goodbye to the pharmacy owner and planned to continue on their way.

Just then, the pharmacy owner seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Chen Tian that the innkeeper who saved them had left a message when he left, saying that his inn was located next to Flower Immortal Valley, and that there was a huge camphor tree planted in his courtyard. He also said that if Chen Tian and the others woke up and had nowhere to go, they could go to his inn to work, and he would take them in.

To be honest, when he heard this message, Chen Tian's heart had struggled for a while. After all, finding a job in an inn could at least ensure that they wouldn't starve to death.

However, Chen Tian at that time, because he harbored the hatred of his house being occupied by the villagers, and the desire to seek immortality, ultimately did not go to the inn, but resolutely set off and continued to head in the direction of the Immortal Feather Sect.

"Yi'er, now you should know why I insisted on coming here, right?"

Saying this, Chen Tian raised his head and glanced at the dilapidated inn in front of him, and said to Qin Yi.

Hearing this, Qin Yi naturally understood what Chen Tian was thinking, and immediately nodded, "In this world, it is rare to meet such a good person like that old man. In this way, this inn is the inn of the old man who saved you back then?"

"That's right." Chen Tian nodded, filled with sadness, "It's just a pity that although this inn is still there, the old man is no longer here."

A sense of sadness suddenly surged in Chen Tian's heart, making him sigh involuntarily.

Seeing this, Qin Yi seemed to be able to understand Chen Tian's mood at this time, and hurriedly took a step forward, stretched out her white lotus-like arm, quietly held Chen Tian's broad palm, and said softly, "Brother Chen, the past is gone, you don't need to be too sentimental. I think that old man would definitely be happy for your current achievements."

Feeling the warmth coming from Qin Yi's palm, Chen Tian seemed to finally recover, smiled at her, and said that he was fine.

At the same time, at this moment, Chen Tian seemed to think of something and suddenly opened his mouth again, "By the way, Yi'er, what do you think it would be like now if I hadn't chosen to go to the Immortal Feather Sect, but had changed direction and come to this inn to work?"

Seeing this, Qin Yi immediately frowned and shouted softly, "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? You're hurting me!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian seemed to wake up from a dream, came back to his senses, then he released Qin Yi's arm, but his face was still full of endless determination, staring at Qin Yi, and said as if swearing, "Yi'er, listen to me, no matter what, I will not let anything happen to you, I will never let you leave me again, understand?"

Hearing Chen Tian's so serious and solemn words, Qin Yi seemed to think of something, sighed, and slowly lowered her head.

There was silence between the two.

"Cough cough..."

But just then, a cough suddenly rang out from behind the two of them!
