Chapter 403 Loss
The battle is over.

The ruins were cleaned up, the casualties were treated, and finally the losses were counted.

More than a thousand houses collapsed.

The length of the destroyed city wall was close to three miles.

There were thousands of lightly and seriously injured, and 3183 soldiers and civilians died.

The equivalent of a 911/[-] terrorist attack.

And the powerful monks in this world are far more powerful and terrifying than terrorists.

If it wasn't for Patriarch Youming's negligence due to complacency, there would be no possibility of being seriously injured... This also shows how terrifying a high-strength monk is. Such a powerful shot is only an injury, and he will have to make up for it later.

Fortunately, Patriarch Nether was killed in the end, and died in the hands of "ants" in his eyes.

Huge loss, Zhou Ming said it is impossible not to be heartbroken, many well-established buildings and facilities, more than one-third of the soldiers of the township guards, and many excellent talents that Zhou Ming is optimistic about, were photographed like ants in this attack. No more, Zhou Ming's painstaking efforts of more than ten years were severely damaged in a short period of time.

Fortunately, most of the farms and factories are in the suburbs. When the attack came, the workers were at work... Zhou Ming's foundation was not hit hard.

But it will take at least a year or more to fully recover.

In addition, the Keqing team also suffered heavy losses.

Of the seven guest ministers, four were killed in battle.

The remaining three were seriously injured, but after receiving medical treatment, their lives were out of danger.

The three are: Su Yuanlong, Jian Baiyi, and... Jiang Ruonan.

Is Jiang Ruonan still alive?

Yes, Zhou Ming was very surprised. Under that kind of shock wave, the Nether Patriarch couldn't resist, and she, who was not far from the heartbreak, was not dead yet?

It was only because of a more serious injury that Yoyo woke up three days later.

A week later.

Zhou Ming took some time to visit her.

It happened that the students Chen Qi and Fan Qing were also in the room, and they cared and cared for their "Teacher Ruonan".

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ming couldn't help shaking his head secretly. He couldn't figure it out all the time, why many people knew that Jiang Ruonan was a "disaster" that would bring disaster, but they still risked their lives to protect her. Could it be that there was something wrong with her? What "halo" does not work?
After several years of understanding, Zhou Ming discovered that there is indeed a "halo" on this woman. The specific effect of this halo is: Anyone who has been in contact with Jiang Ruonan for a long time will be involuntarily attracted by her. Moved by this kind of affinity, I can't help but feel close to her, and I will sympathize with her experience, and then from the bottom of my heart, I want to protect her and care for her.

Even if you risk your life.

For example, in the Huxiang School, in the class taught by Jiang Ruonan, she quickly became the most popular teacher among the students.

Even if it is not the class she teaches, she has a very high popularity.

Therefore, Zhou Ming called the aura on her body a "terrible" aura.

And keep your distance, unmoved.

Jiang Ruonan was very interested in him, attracted by various rumors about him, and often approached him intentionally or unintentionally.

But Zhou Ming was neither cold nor indifferent. When talking to her, what he cared most about was always her "when will she leave?"

It's not that Zhou Ming is cruel and lacks sympathy, but that Jiang Ruonan's physique is too rare and special. He is the fairy companion that countless strong men desire, and the furnace that countless evil cultivators desire to refine.

Zhou Ming's strength is limited and he cannot resist those threats. If Zhou Ming is strong enough, how long will she stay?

In order to force her to leave, Zhou Ming also tried to kill her, but he was not sure that he would kill her together with the other six guest officials in a short period of time. In addition, many students were also her admirers. People will not be able to accept it.

Therefore, Zhou Ming felt that sometimes it was really difficult to be a human being when he met that kind of person with a halo.

It wasn't until this disaster happened and everyone witnessed the tragic consequences that Zhou Ming was confident enough to solve this trouble.

Step into the room.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, turning around to see the person coming, the students Chen Qi, Fan Qing and others stopped talking one after another, stood up respectfully and stood aside.

"headmaster."

"headmaster."

Zhou Ming nodded to them, and waved his hands: "You guys step back for now, I have a few words to say to your teacher Ruonan."

"Yes, principal."

The student Chen Qi and others took another look at Jiang Ruonan who was lying on the bed, and left the room one after another, but stayed outside the door.

Pulling up a stool, sitting by the bed, looking at Jiang Ruonan who was in good spirits but wrapped in a lot of gauze, Zhou Ming asked a few questions.

"Presumably the specific situation, Chen Qi and the others should tell you? I don't know what you have to say?"

"No."

Jiang Ruonan shook his head, and said softly, "It's better to die by your hands than by that devil's hands."

"Ancestor Youming is the only demon chasing you?"

Zhou Ming ignored the sad and resentful expression on her face, and asked a core question.

"In the past 20 years, only this devil has been chasing me, and now he is finally dead."

Jiang Ruonan looked relieved and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Zhang Shanhe, you have avenged my family and friends."

"In the future, after you recover from your injury, what are your plans?"

Zhou Ming asked again, reminding her: "In order to kill Patriarch Nether, more than 3000 people were sacrificed in Linbao Town, and these 3000 people all have friends and family members."

"I understand what you mean, I will leave here in a few days, and I will not drag you down again." The woman said loudly, but two tears welled up from the corners of her eyes.

Hearing this, Zhou Ming nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Jiang understands righteousness, I am grateful!"

Instructing her to recuperate well, Zhou Ming exited the room.

Outside the door, the student Chen Qi and others with their ears on the door and window stopped Zhou Ming one by one after hearing the conversation in the room.

"Principal, if the male teacher is just out of danger, you drive her away. What's the reason?"

"Principal, the devil has been eliminated, and there will be no more powerful people coming. Why do you want to force Teacher Ruonan away?"

"If there are more demons coming, with our spirit yuan gun and spirit yuan cannon, do we still need to be afraid of them? Let's kill them one by one!"

"Principal, with our students here, no one will dare to bully Teacher Ruonan, and there will be no strong enemy who can kill one of us in Limburg Town!"

"Principal, please don't drive Teacher Ruonan away, please!"

The students in front of them either clench their fists and swear, or beg hard, with only one purpose, hoping to keep Teacher Ruonan.

"presumptuous!"

Zhou Ming shouted sharply, his face was as frosty, and he glanced around sharply. The student Chen Qi and the others lowered their heads one after another, not daring to speak again.

"There are not enough people who hate death?"

"Can you keep that woman with what you can't do?"

"If anyone is willing to risk his life to protect her, I have no objection, please leave with that woman!"

"I've said it many times before, Limburg Town is just a mortal market town, even if it's not even a small town, how can it have the strength to resist those immortals?"

"Didn't you see the death of the officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment of the Home Guard? Many outstanding soldiers, even their bones were lost, turned into mud and powder... Do you want to die like that too?"

"You can say who you want to protect, but the premise is that you have the strength! Without strength, it is empty talk, nonsense!"

"Go back and practice hard! Anyone who speaks ignorant words will be expelled from the Huxiang School immediately! Get out of Limburg Town immediately!"

Zhou Ming finally scolded: "A bunch of useless things, the relatives and people in my hometown can't protect them well, but they want to protect a woman who is much stronger than you. Are you all idiots?"

The student Chen Qi and others dispersed in a dejected manner, and no one dared to contradict them.

……

A month later.

Limburg Town, South Gate.

After recovering from his injuries, Jiang Ruonan, who carried his luggage and led a unicorn horse, got on the horse and embarked on an unknown journey where he didn't know where he was going.

Of course, she didn't leave alone. After Jian Baiyi left her son and daughter in Su Yuanlong's care, she left with her... Jiang Ruonan's cultivation has not yet fully recovered, and she needs someone to protect her safety.

As a result, only Su Yuanlong was left as the number of guest ministers hired by Limburg Town... He is now the biological father of two children and the "adoptive father" of four "orphans".

Standing on the tower.

Under two rounds of slanting sun, looking at the backs of the two gradually going away and finally disappearing on the road, Zhou Ming suddenly asked, "Did you see the problem with that woman?"

Su Yuanlong on the side nodded thoughtfully: "I can tell...she seems to be using us, she is very simple, but..."

"Not brave enough, right?"

Zhou Ming continued: "This is the reason why she has survived until now. She is timid, afraid, and afraid to face things that she is afraid of, so she is not good at all aspects, except running away and hiding her breath." His kung fu is better than anyone else."

"In fact, she also knows in her heart that she will bring disaster to those who care about her, and she should also know what to do to reduce the harm to her friends."

"But instead of doing that, she improved her communication skills, made more friends, and finally... sent these friends to a dead end..."

"Why did she do this? Why didn't she run away alone? Why didn't she bear everything alone? Instead, she kept pulling her friends into the water?"

"I guess, on the one hand, she is afraid of loneliness; on the other hand, she may also find that she can't cope with the challenge by herself, so she needs friends, even if she just grabs a handful of straws."

"This is a seemingly poor woman, but also a smart woman, and a very hard heart."

"Once this woman gets out of the difficult situation, with her talent, she will be able to earn the title of Patriarch Youming, but... I don't know if it will be a bad name or a good one?"

After listening to this analysis, Su Yuanlong nodded, feeling suddenly enlightened.

Suddenly his face changed drastically again, and he shouted: "Brother Baiyi is in danger! If you follow that woman, brother Baiyi will definitely die!"

Su Yuanlong took two steps forward, ready to jump off the tower, and said anxiously: "I have to call Brother Baiyi back!"

"Don't go!"

Zhou Ming grabbed his sleeve and shook his head at him: "That Jian Baiyi is looking for death, why are you pulling him?"

"How do you say that?" Su Yuanlong looked puzzled.

"In order to save Jiang Ruonan, Jian Baiyi's wife, Han Yixue, unfortunately died in battle. Did he ever shed half a tear? With Jian Baiyi's close relationship with Jiang Ruonan, he usually protects her a lot. No more, I want to escort Jiang Ruonan... Brother Su hasn't seen the purpose of Jian Baiyi?"

Moreover, Jiang Ruonan has a spiritual body, and Jian Baiyi's cultivation has also been stuck in the late stage of Qi refining for many years.

"This……"

Su Yuanlong's eyes widened, and when he thought of his dead wife again, his expression darkened, and he aged ten years in an instant, with a sad voice: "Hey... this is a heart!"
