"Could it be that the County Captain saw how tense the atmosphere was and decided to lighten the mood with some humor?"
The thought flashed through Zheng Jun's mind. He didn't dwell on it, instead taking out three Blood Nourishing Pills and swallowing them, refining them in an instant.
Vigorous Qi and Blood surged rapidly. Zheng Jun felt his Life Force blossoming like sprouting green branches. His wounds tingled, slowly beginning to heal.
He had no intention of helping Cai Xun up; he simply pretended he hadn't seen the man at all. It was better to stay out of sight when a superior was in a miserable state, lest they fly into a rage out of humiliation and try to make life difficult for him later.
He reasoned, "A casual strike like that shouldn't be enough to kill Cai Xun. If he died from Meng Xian's careless blow, it means he's even weaker than me. That can't be right. He's an Outer Gang Martial Artist, after all. He should be fine... right?"
