Chapter 60: Senior brother looks seriously injured.
Ye Anping appeared to be quite seriously injured. However, it was just a superficial impression. The injuries might incapacitate an ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivator for a month or two, but for him, it was merely a minor inconvenience.
During the time he spent practising with his junior sister in the past, he had been involved in similar activities. However, as time went on, he found himself unable to defeat his junior sister, and as a result, he ended up being beaten by her every day.
Gradually, Ye Anping developed a resilient body, though not to the extent of Feng Yudie, who could regrow severed limbs. Nevertheless, his self-healing and resistance to attacks were several times, if not dozens of times, better than those of ordinary cultivators at the same stage.
Originally, he estimated that with his current injuries, even without the assistance of medication, he could walk within two hours of adjusting his breathing. In three or four days, he would likely be fully healed.
However, there was a kind of coldness that even his mother would feel, and there was a kind of injury that made his sister think he was seriously hurt.
Earlier, when the Xuanxing Sect’s Doctor Zhou was diagnosing him, Bai Yuexin, who was present, exaggeratedly claimed that he was struck by a spell from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, describing him as covered in blood. This was an exaggeration.
Subsequently, after hearing this, Dr. Zhou examined the injuries and prescribed a variety of medicines. The medical attendants at the clinic even used ointments and bandages to dress him up like a mummy.
Bai Yuexin sat by Ye Anping’s bedside, holding a bowl of medicinal soup. She scooped up a spoonful, blew on it for quite some time, checked the temperature with her lips, and then brought it to his mouth.
“Ah~~ Drink your medicine.”
Ye Anping turned his gaze away from the window, sighed faintly, and reluctantly opened his mouth to take a sip of the medicine. He couldn’t help but comment, “Senior Bai, there’s really no need. This isn’t a serious injury.”
“How is it not serious? Doctor Zhou said that if the meridians are affected, it might not show immediately, but it could lead to complications. Plus, what if it leaves a scar on your adorable face? Come on, open up.”
“Ah—” Ye Anping opened his mouth in resignation and took another sip of the medicine. He tried to reason, “Really, there’s no need. Once Elder Lei arrives, I’ll return to the therapy centre. I’m not a disciple of the Xuanxing Sect, and I can’t stay in the medical centre for inner disciples like you can.”
“The clinics in the city can’t compare to this place. Dr. Zhou’s medical skills are excellent. Relax.”
“It’s not that I don’t trust Dr. Zhou’s skills, I just…”
In the game, if players chose to join the Xuanxing Sect early on, they would resurrect in Dr. Zhou’s clinic after every serious injury. This demonstrated Dr. Zhou’s extraordinary medical skills.
However, Every resurrection came at the cost of deducting several thousand spirit stones, with higher-level resurrections incurring greater deductions.
Even if a player achieved true immortality, a resurrection here would still come at a price. To be honest, Ye Anping hadn’t expected Bai Yuexin to take him to Dr. Zhou’s clinic and even arrange a private room for him.
After all, this clinic was specifically for treating injuries of Xuanxing Sect’s inner disciples. His injuries weren’t that severe. Seeking treatment here for such minor injuries was similar to falling and then rushing to the best hospital, securing an appointment with a top-notch surgeon, and even going through the hospitalisation process.
He had earned a good amount of spirit stones, but those were meant for buying jewellery and precious materials for his junior sister. He couldn’t afford to be extravagant.
Ye Anping sighed and straightforwardly admitted, “I’m concerned about the medical expenses.”
“Medical expenses?” Bai Yuexin looked puzzled for a moment, then quickly waved her hand and explained, “Dr. Zhou doesn’t charge spirit stones for treatment. It’s only the city clinics that demand spirit stones from you.”
“That’s for you inner disciples. He will receive subsidies for treating your injuries,” Ye Anping remarked, giving her a disapproving look. “Senior Bai, you’ve been at Xuanxing Sect for decades. Don’t you know that only inner disciples receive medical treatment without paying spiritual stones? Outer disciples have to pay.”
“Ah, is that so?” Bai Yuexin nodded as if she had just learned something new. “Oh, it won’t cost many spirit stones, it won’t be very expensive… I guess?”
“…”
Ye Anping didn’t know what to say. The best medical clinic within a thousand miles wouldn’t be very expensive? This world didn’t have a publicly funded medical system…
Speaking of which, why did this girl suddenly become so optimistic?
Bang bang—two soft knocks came from the door.
Bai Yuexin quickly turned around and answered for Ye Anping. “Ah, please come in!”
The door was pushed open. After seeing the two people walking in from the door, Bai Yuexin quickly put down the soup bowl in her hand, stood up, and saluted. “Disciple has met Elder Lei… met Elder Wang…”
“Well, you go out first,” Lei Wanjun said to Bai Yuexin.
“Yes.”
After she walked out of the house, the two of them walked to Ye Anping’s bedside. Lei Wanjun looked at Ye Anping, who was now wrapped up like a bandaged man and raised his eagle eyebrows slightly. “You’re hurt so badly… little fellow Daoist, can you still speak?”
It was just because the bandage looked scary. Ye Anping was ashamed and finally wanted to stand up and bow his hands to salute, but the bandage was tightly wrapped and hugged the joints, making it impossible to move. So, he could only nod, lower his eyes, and reply–”Please forgive me for being rude and unable to stand up to salute. Junior Ye Anping has met Senior Lei and Senior Wang.”
“Young Master Ye?” After hearing him introduce himself, Wang Shouren seemed to have just recognised him and was suddenly surprised. “It’s you!”
“Yes.”
Lei Wanjun looked at Wang Shouren. “Do you know him?”
“The young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect, I met him once before when his father invited me to play chess. This boy has practised hard since he was a child. Although he has two spiritual roots, his bones and foundation are better than many disciples in the sect.”
“So…”
Lei Wanjun looked back at Ye Anping and asked, “I heard that you have something to give me?”
Ye Anping nodded and then used his spiritual power to mobilise the storage bag placed aside, took out a moving order from it, and sent it to him.
“This moving order was given to me by Miss Feng before she was kidnapped. She said she wanted me to come back and hand it over to the elders of Xuanxing Sect.”
Lei Wanjun caught the moving order, turned it over, and looked at it for a while, and then put it in his storage bag.
Then, he asked, “Why did you and her go out to Liuyue Lake?”
The tone was extremely serious, and Ye Anping could tell that he didn’t trust him. However, he had expected it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have injured himself by frying the fish.
Ye Anping lowered his eyes slightly and said, “This junior originally invited Miss Feng to go for a walk in Liuyue Lake. I heard that the scenery there is beautiful, but who would have thought… that a man would follow me? If I had been more alert, Miss Feng would not have been followed by that person…”
“So…” Lei Wanjun nodded and continued to ask, “You and Feng Yudie have known each other a long time ago?”
“It’s us…”
At this time, Wang Shouren also heard the distrust of Ye Anping in Lei Wanjun’s words, so he simply explained on his behalf, “Elder Lei, before that Feng Yudie, this boy and his junior sister, the girl who greeted her with special energy, killed a demon cultivator in Wu Xi Town together. At that time, both of them were injured. Feng Yudie went to the Hundred Lotus Sect with him to recuperate for a while, and they had a lifelong friendship…”
Hearing this, Lei Wanjun thought of Pei Lianxue and was deeply impressed. He hesitated for a while and asked, “Demon cultivator?”
“Yes, I reported this matter to the Great Elder He Yun before. The person killed was the Grand Master of the Gu Poison Sect, named Wu You, who was in the late stage of pill formation.”
“A few cultivators in the Qi refining stage… killed the demon cultivators in the late stage of pill formation?” A trace of disbelief flashed in Lei Wanjun’s eyes.
“Elder Lei, this boy, and his junior sister are both outstanding people in the Qi refining stage, and Feng Yudie also has the blood of the Holy Emperor. I have also gone to Wu Xi Town to inquire about it before, and many people have seen the golden dragon.”
“Incited the Holy Emperor’s Dragon Body… Hmm…” Lei Wanjun nodded, thinking that this was reasonable, and asked again, “The Seven Killing Sect is the reason why Feng Yudie was captured. Could it be related to that demon cultivator?”
“The Seven Killing Sect may have received commissions from demon cultivators before, but I feel that it is not certain yet.”
“Um…”
Lei Wanjun frowned. Although he didn’t know why the Grand Master of the Gu Poison Sect appeared in the Western Region, the Gu Poison Sect travelled across the four regions and hired the Seven Killing Sect to capture Feng Yudie for the death of a Grand Master. This hand was also stretched out. It was too long.
He thought for a while and then asked, “When you killed the Grand Master of the Gu Poison Sect, did you take anything from his storage bag?”
“We took it. There were identity tags, a few magic weapons, some spiritual stones…”
“No strange things?”
“I only took some spiritual stones from the storage bag. The other things are all at Miss Feng’s place, so…”
“So…” Lei Wanjun looked at Ye Anping’s disappointed look and comforted him, “That’s all, don’t worry. This matter is related to the face of my Xuanxing Sect. I promise you that I will definitely help you from now on and bring that girl back safely.”
“Thank you very much, senior. I will wait for the good news from the Senior.”
“Um.”
Lei Wanjun nodded and prepared to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ye Anping hesitated for a moment but decided to tell him what he was worried about and asked Lei Wanjun to help.
“Senior.”
Lei Wanjun turned his head and looked back, “Huh?”
“Um…” Ye Anping pretended to be a fifteen-year-old child and said sheepishly, “Senior, I’m ashamed to say that I don’t have spiritual stones on my body. I’m afraid I can’t afford the medicine at the medical centre here, so …”
Lei Wanjun smiled but suddenly thought – Dr. Zhou was a picky person, and if he went to ask him to waive Ye Anping’s medicine money, he would probably be angry with the old man in the future.
So, he looked at Wang Shouren, “Elder Wang, help this boy make arrangements.”
Didn’t this mean that he should pay for his medical expenses…
“Boy Ye, I will let…”
Ye Anping hurriedly interrupted, “Thank you, Elder Wang.”
“…”
He originally wanted to charge Ye Anping’s hospitalisation expenses to his father, but Ye Anping choked him out by saying, “Thank you, Elder Wang.”
Wang Shouren took a deep breath, was stunned for a while, then glanced at Lei Wanjun beside him and suddenly let out a long sigh.
“Why–”
If he had known better, he would not have followed over to join in the fun and silently slapped himself several times in the face…
He loved to join in the fun! Join in the fun! Join in the fun!
He gave him hundreds of spiritual stones for free…
