Yu Yun had sustained severe injuries. Ye Fan had to treat her as soon as possible.
If he didn't and he allowed the injury to fester, the damage she had sustained would become irreversible. That could affect her future as a martial artist.
Ye Fan had seen too many martial artists suffer permanent damage to their bodies because of severe injury and seen how that had impeded their progress in martial arts.
He would never forgive himself if Yu Yun's future was ruined because of him.
The young man sped across the skies as he carried the impossibly beautiful young woman in his arms.
He ran so quickly that the human eye could hardly catch up.
The forest stirred quietly beneath his feet as winds rushed through its midst.
Leaves rustled while clouds streamed soundlessly across the sky.
The flurry of leaves dancing in the air startled countless birds into a terrified flight.
A frantic Ye Fan returned to the cave where he had found Yu Yun as quickly as he possibly could.
He walked into the cave with Yu Yun in his arms. Then, his palm shot out twice and hit the walls on both sides of the entrance.
Rocks loosened and tumbled down the sides of the mountain. Sand and dirt flew into and yellowed the air.
The entrance of the cave was soon blocked by a wall of rocks.
That set his heart at ease. Ye Fan walked into the cave and carefully placed Yu Yun on the stone platform that she had been meditating on earlier.
Without a moment's delay, he got her to sit up in front of him.
Then, he focused his mind and placed his palms lightly on Yu Yun's shoulders. Pure
energy began to course through Ye Fan's arms and into Yu Yun.
A few hours later and utterly spent, Ye Fan finally stopped.
Without his hands on her shoulders, Yu Yun fell limply into Ye Fan's arms.
Another hour passed.
The young beauty within his arms finally opened her eyes.
"You're awake."
Ye Fan smiled happily. Sweat beaded his forehead while exhaustion lined his pale face.
Alarm flared inside Yu Yun when she realized that she was lying in Ye Fan's arms. She got up and left him hastily.
The sudden abrupt movement strained her injury. Dark spots appeared in her vision and she nearly blacked out.
"Stop moving around. You've been seriously injured. I only managed to protect your vitals. One misstep and the damage could have been permanent," said Ye Fan hastily. His voice was filled with concern.
Yu Yun seemed to know what was wrong with her as well and didn't seem very surprised when she heard what Ye Fan had said.
She looked around in confusion. "Where are we?”
She must still be very weak, because her voice sounded weak and like a whisper.
"This is the cave you were training in. Don't worry, I sealed the entrance. No one will find us," Ye Fan said as he tried to reassure Yu Yun.
The air froze instantly. A faint blush appeared on Yu Yun's face. She turned and looked away from Ye Fan.
That was when Ye Fan realized the inappropriateness of his words and tried to explain. "I mean, it's safe here. No one's going to sneak up and attack you like I did," said Ye Fan sheepishly.
This wasn't the time to be embarrassed though.
