Chapter 3289: Was This the Ordinance of Space?

It was resolved. Le Qing, who had deluded himself into thinking he could overturn heaven and earth with the power of a formation, was erased.

The sinister energy and the tormented souls were also taken away, leaving no major impact on this plane.

Everything was cleaned up neatly.

No one present dared to speak. The school doctor uncle walked through the air. With just a small step, it seemed he crossed a vast distance, and his figure vanished in an instant.

Ning Shu watched his back. A step crosses a thousand miles—was this the ordinance of space?

Ning Shu withdrew her gaze and looked at Mei Ziqing. Mei Ziqing sat soullessly on the ground, eyes blank, not even blinking, like a puppet.

It seemed as if her soul had left her body.

Ning Shu coughed lightly and nudged her. Mei Ziqing’s stiff neck turned, her empty gaze falling on Ning Shu.

Ning Shu couldn’t bring herself to ask ‘Are you okay?’

Looking like this—Did Mei Ziqing look okay?

Crossbow Lar and Dagger Mu stared blankly at the course of events.

Their minds were in total chaos. Who could explain what had just happened? Who was that man in the black windbreaker?

Lar noticed Ning Shu’s bare back. Her flesh was torn and bloody, with branches and small stones embedded in her skin. He walked over and said, “You should treat the wound.”

Ning Shu turned her head to look at her back, then nodded. “Alright.”

Lar carefully removed the foreign objects lodged in her skin.

Dagger Mu reached out and roughly yanked out a sharp stone.

Ning Shu screamed in pain, then turned and kicked Dagger Mu. “Get lost, don’t touch me.”

Kicked flying, Dagger Mu rolled twice on the ground, holding a small, sharp, bloodied stone about the size of a pinky. “Heh, serves you right.”

He waved the bloody stone in front of Lar. “Lick it once and you’ll fall. Then you’ll be free. You won’t have to follow this brutal woman anymore.”

“Get lost…” Ning Shu kicked him again.

Lar carefully cleared the rest of the debris from her wound. But Ning Shu’s whole back was already badly scraped.

Lar took out a potion and said to Ning Shu, who was lying face down, “It’ll sting a bit. Bear with it.”

“Oh, it’s fine—damn, that hurts!” Ning Shu cried out. It felt like chili water had been rubbed in. Was this really medicine?

Lar pulled out some clothes from his body and gave them to Ning Shu. Her current clothes were already torn to rags.

Ning Shu changed into them, then looked at Mei Ziqing—still vacant, motionless, like a wooden statue of a bodhisattva.

What should be done now?

She felt so helpless!

Mei Ziqing sat without moving from day until night, making Ning Shu’s skin crawl.

Lar pulled out dry rations and water and said to Ning Shu, “Eat something.”

Ning Shu nodded, gnawing on the dry rations and drinking water while staring at the unmoving Mei Ziqing.

After finishing, she placed some rations and water beside her. “Eat something.”

Mei Ziqing seemed not to hear.

Ning Shu didn’t mind. Clearly, Mei Ziqing hadn’t recovered from the blow of Le Qing’s total disappearance.

She had shut herself off.

As long as a task-taker wasn’t eliminated, they were immortal. In their long existence, they’d grown used to being with someone. Now that person has suddenly vanished.

Honestly, Mei Ziqing’s silent state—no eating, no drinking, no crying, no anger—was a bit frightening.

Ning Shu sat beside her. “Eat something.”

No reaction from Mei Ziqing.
