Chapter 295 - 241 Facing the Mountain Tribulation
"Are you done washing?! Stop dawdling!"
Hearing the impatient urging, Tie Dan casually used the herbs meant for strengthening his muscles and bones to scrub himself down. After washing up and changing into a robe, he came out.
The Sword Sect disciple outside initially intended to scold him for dawdling, but upon seeing Tie Dan come out, his previously disheveled appearance now paired with a fierce face obscured by long hair, he was momentarily taken aback.
It suddenly dawned on him that this person had been ordered to be confined not only because he left the mountain on his own but also because he had killed many fellow sect members. This realization forced him to suddenly brake hard on the reckless path to doom, swallowed his saliva, and softened his tone:
"The medicinal meal is ready. Eat slowly! It’s not my problem if you gorge yourself to death!"
Tie Dan hadn’t expected that in addition to having a medicinal bath available for washing, there would actually be a medicinal meal prepared as well. He suspectedly glanced at it and found that it indeed was a medicinal meal. Of course, it wasn’t as good as the takeout he had snatched during a chess game at Cloud Platform, but it was the regular food for sect disciples. It had meat and vegetables, and the nutrition seemed quite balanced—at least it wasn’t short on weight or filled with sand or bugs.
It seemed that, at least on the surface, the sect kept up appearances: they fought and killed, but they didn’t indulge in those insidious, disgusting tricks.
Pity there was no wine, a definite downside.
So Tie Dan ate slowly. The Sword Sect disciple didn’t bother him, just sat nearby, cross-legged, practicing breathing technique, apparently solely responsible for watching over him.
Tie Dan had been eating for a while when a white crane descended from the sky.
