Chapter 128: Healing Wound

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Hopefully Master Xiao Tieying will take it easy,” Chu Li said.

Sadness and disappointment were inevitable. After all, it was a Grandmaster who was entrusted with great responsibilities, one who held a transcendent position, and who had almost never been doubted before. However, of all people, it was the Grandmaster that had a problem.

More importantly, losing one Grandmaster had suddenly weakened the strength of the Yi Public House.

Su Ru put on a solemn face and did not speak.

Chu Li looked at her, frowned and said, “Chief, what happened?”

“Nothing.” Su Ru shook her head and did not look at him.

Chu Li’s mind turned rapidly. He did not activate the Omniscient Mirror in a hurry. He frowned and mused, “Huang Qi attacked, Lady Xiao Qi and Master Xiao Tieying must have been caught in the fight… could it be that Lady Xiao Qi was injured?”

Su Ru kept her eyes down and drank her tea, not saying a word.

Chu Li lifted a brow. “She was really hurt? Was the wound serious? … The Grandmaster is not an Innate Master, I will go and take a look!”

“There’s nothing you can do!” Su Ru waved her hand and said in a low tone, “Lady Xiao Qi is healing herself!”

“Is her injury serious?”

“Humph, almost dead!”

Chu Li was puzzled. “Lady Xiao Qi is very close to reaching the Grandmaster’s Boundary so she shouldn’t be that badly hurt.”

The martial arts that Xiao Qi practiced was incomparably striking and profound. Moreover, now, she had grasped a hint of the Grandmaster’s Boundary, thus, when she faced a Grandmaster, she may not be as powerless to fight back. In addition, Huang Qi’s cultivation level was not deep or sophisticated so theoretically, she should not have been severely injured.

Su Ru scoffed, “Lady Xiao Qi was hurt because she was trying to save Master Xiao Tieying!”

“Huang Qi dared to attack Master Xiao Tieying?”

“He’s gone crazy. Huang Qi knew that he had been exposed and that he would not end up well, so he wanted to kill Master Xiao Tieying!” Su Ru said coldly, “A human’s heart is really unpredictable!”

These Grandmasters had transcendent standings in the Public House and they received excellent treatment. However, Huang Qi was greedy and insatiable, even wanting to get his hands on the Public House’s belongings. Hence, when he was exposed, he tried to kill people so that he could cover his tracks. He truly was an ungrateful and vicious person!

“Lady Xiao Qi blocked an attack meant for Master Xiao Tieying?” asked Chu Li.

“Yes, Huang Qi was speaking normally one moment and the next he suddenly attacked.” Su Ru shook her head. “Lady was not prepared for it as well. Relying on her fast body movement technique, she blocked the attack in front of Master Xiao Tieying and took the punch from Huang Qi directly!”

“Where’s the injury?” Chu Li asked hurriedly.

“Lady Xiao Qi took his punch directly with one of her own.” Su Ru sighed. “Due to the spur of the moment, she had no time to channel her inner energy so her left arm was broken!” she said while shaking her head. Her face was grim.

Chu Li got up and walked toward the door instantly. “Take me to her!”

“What are you going to do? Lady Xiao Qi is channeling her inner energy to heal her injury. She will not see anybody!” Su Ru waved her hand and scoffed.

Chu Li did not stop walking. “I have some experience in healing. I can give Lady Xiao Qi a hand.”

“What methods do you have?” Su Ru stood up and followed behind him.

Chu Li laughed. “Last time, I had multiple injuries but didn’t I recover rapidly?”

“… What’s the solution?” Su Ru looked at him suspiciously.

She had heard about the incident where Chu Li saved the Second Lady. Chu Li almost lost his life but he had recovered really fast.

The two had walked out of the courtyard and into the woods.

“I practiced a special healing heart technique and its effect is very good,” said Chu Li.

“Lady Xiao Qi also has a special healing heart technique,” Su Ru replied.

Chu Li sighed. “Chief, do you think I will harm Lady Xiao Qi?”

“… Of course, you won’t.” Su Ru chuckled and nodded. “Very well, I suppose you are indeed very loyal but I don’t know if Lady Xiao Qi will choose to see you. She said to not let anybody disturb her.”

“Let’s go quickly!” said Chu Li.

As the night darkened, the entire Jade Guardian Island was brightly lit as though it was still daytime. Under the lights, the towers and pavilions, as well as the carved beams and painted rafters, were like the heavenly palace of God.

The two of them stopped at the second floor of the Stargazing Tower. Su Ru signaled Chu Li to stop and wait for her to go in first to request for permission. After that, she went up to the third floor cautiously without making a sound.

Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror.

On the third floor, Xiao Qi, who was as pale as a piece of paper, was sitting cross-legged on the bed. She was channeling her inner energy quietly. Her left arm was supported by a wooden splint wrapped with a white cloth.

Chu Li looked deeper and found out that the bones of her left arm were broken into pieces, all the meridians were destroyed. The other meridians were also shriveled and their vitalities almost dried up. This Huang Qi’s inner energy was extremely vicious!

When Su Ru started to go up the stairs, Chu Li followed her to the third floor too and waved his hand towards Su Ru.

Su Ru’s bright eyes widened and glared back at him.

Chu Li sat behind Xiao Qi directly and put his palms on her pliable back. Using the Life and Death Scripture, he absorbed the spiritual force from the surrounding plants and slowly injected it into her body, nourishing her meridians.

Su Ru was peeved but she could only watch helplessly and did not dare to disturb them.

After about 10 minutes, Xiao Qi slowly opened her eyes.

Chu Li did not release his palms and continued to nourish her body with spiritual force. “My Lady, let’s go to my place!”

Xiao Qi’s complexion had turned ruddier. She could feel that Chu Li’s inner energy, which was emanating from his palms, was refined and full of vitality. Its effects in repairing her meridians were far better than her healing heart technique. Her injury had stopped worsening.

Xiao Qi’s voice was slightly hoarse. “Go to your place?”

“It helps to heal the wound faster besides the Glory’s Will,” Chu Li said.

“… Okay,” Xiao Qi replied.

Chu Li withdrew his palms and Xiao Qi got off the bed slowly.

Su Ru rolled her eyes at Chu Li and said hurriedly, “My Lady, is your injury better?”

“Yes, it’s not a big deal,” Xiao Qi replied.

Chu Li shook his head.

Xiao Qi glanced at Chu Li. “Let’s go.”

The three of them went downstairs and walked slowly to Chu Li’s courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Xiao Qi felt a refreshing air blowing against her face and her whole body relaxed slightly. Before this, she had not been hurt so she had no such sensitive senses. Now that she had an injured body, her senses were more perceptive.

“Xue Ling, take two cattail hassocks out,” ordered Chu Li.

“Yes,” Xue Ling answered and headed into the living room to grab two cattail hassocks. According to the direction that Chu Li pointed with his finger, she placed them next to the Glory’s Will Tree.

Xiao Qi sat on one cattail hassock while Chu Li sat behind her.

Su Ru and Xue Ling stood on one side, watching closely.

Chu Li closed his eyes and transferred the spiritual force from the Glory’s Will Tree into Xiao Qi’s body. At the same time, he circulated the Minute Pulse Cleansing Technique into her body.

Xiao Qi let Chu Li do as he pleased. She did not help nor did she stop him. She observed the circulation of inner energy and unconsciously went into a state of obliviousness.

When she woke up, Xiao Qi realized that the sky had brightened. The sun that was high up in the sky shone rays of sunlight that felt warm against her skin. The chill and coldness in her body disappeared and a steady stream of spiritual force entered from her back.

Xiao Qi inspected her body for a moment. Her meridians had become full and solid, and her injury was mostly healed. There was still a faint jolt of pain from her left arm but after all, bones could not heal so fast. The bones needed a few days to recuperate but her meridians had become unimpeded. With her meridians recovered, her muscles and bones would recover quickly too.

Chu Li slowly withdrew his palms.

Su Ru and Xue Ling who was sitting by the side quickly busied themselves.

Xue Ling brought over some porridge while Su Ru poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle and gave it to Chu Li.

Both of them had not eaten for one night and morning so they must have been hungry. Moreover, Chu Li had channeled his inner energy for a long time so he must be very tired. The pill that Su Ru gave Chu Li was called the Enhancement Pill, it was to supplement his essence and to calm his mind.

Xiao Qi got up and looked down at Chu Li.

Chu Li had taken the Enhancement Pill. He had his eyes closed and was meditating.

Su Ru quickly asked, “My Lady, how do you feel?”

Xiao Qi nodded and said, “I have recovered mostly… Let’s go. Do not bother Chu Li. Let him come over in the evening.”

“Yes,” Su Ru quickly said.

Xue Ling said, “My Lady, please have a bowl of porridge. If you go back now, you’ll need to make one too.”

“Might as well,” Xiao Qi replied and went over to the pagoda. Xue Ling placed two bowls of porridge in front of her and cast a worried look at Chu Li.

“Don’t worry. He is just tired. He will be fine after a day’s rest,” said Xiao Qi, noting her distress.

Xue Ling nodded lightly.

Xiao Qi drank the porridge and studied Chu Li.

She did not expect that Chu Li’s inner energy would be so refined and that his spirit was so powerful. He was able to manipulate the inner energy in her body to circulate the healing heart technique. This powerful spiritual force was the most needed requirement to step into the Grandmaster’s Boundary.
