As time went on, the dissatisfaction among the citizens and soldiers in the shelter towards Xiao Li and Wang grew increasingly intense. Li Ming tried to divert everyone's attention from the issue, attempting to calm things down, but the multitude of voices only grew louder with anger.
"How can these two speak like that? They have no sense of gratitude!" one soldier exclaimed angrily.
"Li Ming and Chen Yao are fighting to protect us, and they mock us here—it's outrageous!" another citizen chimed in.
Xiao Li and Wang felt humiliated by these words but remained defiant. "We're just speaking the truth; what's wrong with that?" they insisted.
"Truth? Do you even know what truth means?" a casualty retorted furiously. "If it weren't for Li Ming and Chen Yao, we would have been dead by now!"
Wang Qiang lay in bed, witnessing the scene unfold. He patted Li Ming's back, signaling him to step back. Li Ming glanced at Wang Qiang and understood his message. Wang Qiang's eyes were filled with determination, as if saying: let the crowd's anger deal with these two.
"Everyone, please calm down; we need to stand united right now," Li Ming tried to quell the rising fury, but it was futile.
"Li Ming, let us handle this; you've done enough already," Wang Qiang whispered, his gaze resolute.
The crowd's anger gradually shifted towards Xiao Li and Wang, with sarcasm and blame growing louder.
"You don't deserve to be here!" a citizen shouted.
"Exactly! You have no idea what unity and gratitude mean!" another soldier echoed.
Xiao Li and Wang found their words losing power; their faces turned pale as fear flickered in their eyes. They attempted to argue back, but their voices were drowned out by the shouts of the crowd.
"You don't belong here!" a citizen yelled, prompting others to join in with their own furious cries.
Pushed by the crowd, Xiao Li and Wang were forced toward the entrance of the shelter. Their bodies trembled as they looked around helplessly, but no one was willing to help them.
"Get out! We don't need people like you!" a soldier roared, pointing towards the door.
Ultimately, Xiao Li and Wang were expelled from the shelter, their faces etched with fear and helplessness. They stood outside, bewildered by everything before them, unsure of where to go next.
"This is the punishment for those who don't understand gratitude!" a citizen said coldly, with many nodding in agreement.
After Xiao Li and Wang were driven away, a sudden cheer erupted among the people inside the shelter. The sound of victory echoed throughout, seemingly declaring their final rejection of those who lacked gratitude and unity.
"We did it! They finally left!" a citizen shouted excitedly.
"We need this kind of united strength!" another soldier shouted, his voice filled with enthusiasm.
Li Ming stood in place, watching everything unfold before him, feeling a wave of disorientation. He had never experienced such an exhilarating moment; the cheers of the crowd echoed in his ears, making him feel as if he were in a dream.
"Li Ming, thank you!" "Li Ming, you are our hero!" The crowd surrounded him, continuously expressing their gratitude and admiration.
Li Ming felt warm hands patting his shoulders, excited voices enveloping him, making him feel for the first time such cheers and need. This sensation filled his heart with pride and a sense of responsibility.
"Everyone, this is not my achievement." Li Ming quickly waved his hands, trying to calm them down. His voice was weak amidst the cheers but filled with sincerity. "This is all thanks to Master Han and Chen Yao's help that we could achieve such results. I am just a humble cultivator."
However, the crowd did not stop cheering; their eyes were filled with gratitude and respect for Li Ming.
"Li Ming, you are too modest! Without your leadership, we wouldn't have made it this far!"
"Yes, you are our hope; please don't underestimate yourself!"
Feeling the support of the crowd warmed Li Ming's heart, but he knew that the true heroes were those companions who had sacrificed their lives and sweat in battle.
Inside the Southern Capital's shelter, although calm had temporarily returned, everyone still felt a heavy weight in their hearts. The shadow of battle had not completely dissipated and could descend again at any moment.
Master Han and the Southern Capital's defense forces were nervously discussing in one corner, maps and strategic plans spread across the table. Master Han's face was lined with worry, his brow furrowed as if he viewed the situation with pessimism.
"We must strengthen the defenses of the walls, especially at the northeast corner; that area is the weakest," Master Han said, pointing to a spot on the map with concern in his voice.
"But our troop strength is limited right now; won't this make other areas more vulnerable?" a Defense Commander asked with a frown.
Master Han pondered for a moment before nodding. "That is indeed a problem, but we must find a balance. We can try to redeploy to ensure every defensive line has adequate strength."
Meanwhile, Chen Yao was bustling around the shelter, helping treat casualties and distributing supplies, busy beyond measure. Her figure darted through the shelter, her Spiritual Energy flickering at times, bringing comfort and hope to those who were injured.
Li Ming watched Chen Yao's figure with rising admiration and gratitude. He knew that this mysterious neighbor not only displayed bravery in battle but was now shouldering the responsibility of healing casualties and comforting the people.
"Chen Yao, let me help you," Li Ming said as he approached her with a smile.
Inside the Southern Capital's shelter, the aftershocks of battle had not fully dissipated; casualties were still receiving treatment and comfort. Li Ming decided to assist Chen Yao as she tirelessly cared for the injured. Despite her cold attitude towards him, she did not stop his help.
Li Ming quietly joined Chen Yao’s efforts, beginning to assist in treating and distributing supplies. Though she remained indifferent to him, she focused on healing casualties using her Spiritual Energy.
Li Ming watched Chen Yao's busy figure, filled with admiration. He noticed that she was using an advanced healing technique, with Spiritual Energy flowing through her hands, emitting a gentle glow as it swiftly healed the casualties' wounds.
"Chen Yao, your healing skills are truly remarkable," Li Ming said sincerely, trying to break the coldness between them.
Chen Yao did not look at him and coldly replied, "Focus on your task and don't get distracted."
Li Ming nodded and continued to assist in treating the casualties. He knew that Chen Yao was indifferent towards him, but that did not diminish his determination to help everyone. As time passed, he gradually adapted to the high-intensity work and learned a lot in the process.
In a corner, Li Ming spotted a severely injured little girl with a deep wound on her leg, blood flowing continuously. He hurried over, attempting to use the simple healing techniques he had learned to stop the bleeding.
"Come on, don't be afraid. I'll help you stop the bleeding," Li Ming said gently, trying to reassure the little girl.
However, the wound was too deep, and his healing efforts were not effective. Just when he felt helpless, Chen Yao approached. She glanced at the wound, then crouched down and extended her hands. Spiritual Energy flowed through her fingers, radiating a soft light.
"Watch closely; this is advanced healing technique," Chen Yao said coldly, but her movements were filled with focus and tenderness.
Li Ming watched intently as Chen Yao worked, learning how she used Spiritual Energy for healing. As her Spiritual Energy flowed, the little girl's wound quickly healed; the bleeding stopped and the pained expression on her face gradually faded away.
"Thank you, sister," the little girl said weakly, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Chen Yao nodded slightly, stood up, and turned to leave to continue her busy work.
