The Su family's mansion is elegant and quiet. There are many small buildings and pavilions in the mansion. Through the white walls and arches, there are stone bridges and flowing water in the courtyard. The streams and springs in early spring are flowing leisurely under the stone bridges. The cold moon has gone away, and the grass and trees have disappeared. Grow new branches.
Qiong Yi and the other three were taken to a remote wooden building, and they could smell the fragrance of herbs from a distance outside the building. The old man ordered his disciples to place the three of them and summon a doctor to treat their injuries. Sheng Xuanyuan replied: "Thank you, senior." He sat cross-legged and stretched out his hand to let the doctor take his pulse. The old man looked at the three of them and said, "I already know your origins. You will stay here until you are healed. You are not allowed to move around. "After that, he gave some instructions to several doctors and left the small hospital.
The female doctor who treated Qiong Yi pushed her into the inner room, took off her blood-stained clothes to inspect the wound, and saw that the outer ring of the bloody hole in her abdomen was burned skin, and new skin was dug out from under the scab. With red and white polyps, I couldn’t help but say: “…so deep.”
Qiong Yi was lying on the wooden bed, feeling a little uneasy: "Sister doctor, will there be any scars?" The female doctor comforted her and said, "It won't be scarred after applying the medicine. Don't move for now while I reattach the leg bone for you."
"Okay." Qiong Yi nodded, and the severe pain in the next moment made her almost sit up, "Ah!——"
"Qiong Yi!" Sheng Xuanyuan heard her screams in the outer room. He moved, and the doctor behind him pressed his acupoints and sat down: "I am injured like this and yet I still care about others. How can she be healed inside?" What's the matter?" Sheng Xuanyuan felt his legs were numb and his whole body was limp. He lost all strength and fell on the wooden bed. Cold sweat broke out from behind, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. I heard the doctor say to the two disciples beside him: "Go and boil water to prepare a medicated bath. This kid is the most seriously injured. Not only is his heart and lungs damaged, but his meridians are also broken in half. If he doesn't get treatment, he may suffer sequelae."
"Yes." The two disciples responded and went out of the house to boil water in the side room of the courtyard.
Yan Ting was not seriously injured, only his right arm was broken. He had simply treated it last night, and now he has given some medicine and fixed it with a splint. He asked the doctor about Sheng Xuanyuan's condition: "Doctor, will something happen to him...?"
"No, he is very lucky." The doctor looked at the unconscious Sheng Xuanyuan. There was a very clear bloody palm print on his chest. "This palm did not hit the heart, otherwise..."
Yan Ting saw the palm print and clenched his fist.
"By the way, this guy is the young master of the contemporary Sheng clan, right?" The doctor took out a pack of silver needles from the package, twisted one and pierced his flesh. Yan Ting nodded deeply and said, "Yes."
"It's not easy for you to survive the hands of the chief disciple of the Qinggui Sect. The two of them have advanced cultivation and are well-known among the ten sects. Nowadays, the border is in turmoil and the world is not stable. You have to be more careful in the future." The doctor stopped, rolled up the remaining silver needles, and put them back into the wooden box.
Qiong also recovered from the severe pain. The female doctor had tied her legs to a bamboo frame and was filling the blood hole in her abdomen with medicine. Due to the severe pain, beads of sweat continued to flow from her forehead. The doctor helped her stand up and wiped away the sweat with a handkerchief, and then wrapped the wound on her forehead with white gauze. His movements were gentle, delicate and meticulous.
"Thank you sister, I can just wear the clothes myself."
"Okay." The female doctor nodded: "You use these plasters first. If there are not enough left, I will send them to you." After that, she opened the door and left.
After Qiong Yi changed her clothes, she limped out with a cane and saw Yan Tingshen sitting by the door: "Where's Sheng Jing?"
"I was dragged into a medicinal bath."
Qiong Yi was silent for a while: "He was seriously injured." Recalling the bloody battle last night, he was almost the only one who blocked the two men. Yan Ting shook his head and sighed: "It was us who dragged him down."
"Qingguimen!" Qiong Yi said to herself, "One day, I will..."
"Tell them to pay with blood!" Yan Tingshen said coldly, his tone suddenly changed.

When Sheng Xuanyuan regained consciousness and opened his eyes, the room was already dark. He was lying on the wooden couch. When he sat up slightly, he realized that his body was sore and numb, but the pain was gone. Turning his head, he saw Qiong Yi, who was wrapped in quilt and sitting on a low stool, sleeping soundly next to him.
Qiong Yi...
Sheng Xuanyuan lowered his eyes and raised his hand to touch her, but he heard someone suddenly say in the darkness: "I advised her to go into the inner room to rest, but she said she had to stay here to keep you awake." Sheng Xuanyuan was frightened. Startled, he quickly stopped his hand, and after looking for a long time in the dark night, he realized that Yan Tingshen was sitting at the table: "I will stay here with her."
"Looking at it this way, I shouldn't stay here." Yan Ting smiled knowingly, "Since you're awake, I'll go back to the other room to sleep."
"Yeah." Seeing him turning around and leaving, Sheng Xuan said resentfully, "...Brother Yan, I made you worry."
"What's the difference between brothers?" He replied: "If something unexpected happens, the most important thing is that you are okay. I have asked the disciples here. Sect Master Su has not been in the mansion recently. Let's recover from his injuries first and wait until he returns to the mansion." Go and plead for Su Ye."
"good."
The wooden door was closed tightly by Yan Ting, and no nightlight could shine through.
Sheng Xuanyuan lifted the quilt and got out of bed. There was still a dull pain in his chest, but the broken meridians in his body were reconnected and the blocked meridians were dredged. The true energy gathered from the Dantian bit by bit, and he was feeling better than last night. He knelt down and leaned next to Qiong Yi to feel her pulse. It was okay, okay, her breathing was stable and she didn't suffer any internal injuries. He thought that although the wounds on his abdomen and legs were serious, they would only take some time to heal.
"I'm sorry, Qiong Yi." He said in a low voice, "It's my fault for causing trouble and not being able to protect you."
If I were strong enough, this wouldn't happen at all. I could easily defeat those two people without causing any harm to you. Sheng Xuanyuan held her hand and cast his eyes on the Yingying Sword placed in the corner. He began to rebuke his own weakness. The depressed consciousness only stayed in his mind for a moment before he was thrown out of his mind.
He knew that regret and self-blame were of no use.
He picked up Qiong Yi and placed her gently on the bed. Qiong Yi was picked up, half asleep and half awake, thinking: "Sheng Jing..." She pulled Sheng Xuanyuan's sleeves, but couldn't resist the sleepiness. Fell asleep. Sheng Xuanyuan held her hand and put it back into the quilt, tucked her in. Thinking that there should be a bed in the inner room, he picked up the Chengying Sword and went into the inner room to rest.

When Qiong Yi woke up, she sat up suddenly and found that she was lying on Sheng Xuanyuan's bed, but he was nowhere to be seen. He got out of bed in a panic and didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He pushed open the door to the inner room and saw his naked upper body - he was getting dressed.
Normally, if she saw his body, Qiong would definitely be shy and avoid suspicion, but now she was so worried and scared that she couldn't care about it at all. "Sheng Kyung! Are you okay?" She was really frightened when she saw him come out of the medicinal bath yesterday, his whole body turned red like a ripe prawn, and he vomited a lot of black blood.
"fine."
Qiong Yi rushed up and hugged him: "I'm so afraid that you will..." Yesterday, she chased the doctor and asked Sheng Xuanyuan what kind of injuries she had, whether something would happen if she was hit by the lightning palm, and whether she was annoying the doctor. Go around her again here.
"Don't be brave, okay! Don't just say 'it's okay'! I don't want you to swallow all the pain and pain in your stomach!"
"I..." Sheng Xuanyuan pulled up his shirt, hugged her and said, "I just don't want you to worry."
"I know you don't want me to worry, but...if you keep hiding it from me and collapse in front of me, how will I know whether your 'nothing' is true or not, whether it's light or serious!"
He smiled helplessly, "Then there's nothing we can do."
"Those two people came for me, and it's my fault that I brought you down." Seeing that Qiong Yi wasn't wearing any shoes, Sheng Xuanyuan picked her up and put her on the bed, "Qiong Yi, I figured it out." He said very seriously, "You said that holding the sword is for protection. I never thought about protecting anything sincerely. Now, I want to protect you."
Qiong Yi was startled, "Idiot." She chuckled, "I also want to protect you, why do you think I am willing to be the one being protected?" She stood on the bed, hugged Sheng Xuanyuan's neck, "From now on, don't just put the burden on your own shoulders. Look at me more and look at the friends around you."
"...Yeah. But when there is danger, you have to stand behind me."
"Huh? You're back again, right?"
"I don't care." Sheng Xuanyuan buried his head in the crook of her neck, "You must listen to me on this."
"don't want."
"You have to ask for it. Do you still remember that you promised me two things?" He said: "You said I can bring anything. We also pulled a hook on Nanshan Mountain. Now I want to promise one thing."
Sheng Xuanyuan said firmly: "In the future, if there is any danger, you must stand behind me."
Qiong Yi was stunned, silent for a long time, and rubbed his head: "Okay, keep your word, stand behind you, and I will stand behind you."
"I will become stronger." Sheng Xuanyuan felt the softness in front of him and said to himself.
"You will." Qiong Yi had never doubted that he would become a first-rate powerhouse in the world of cultivation.
Sheng Xuanyuan loosened his hand around her waist and said, "Take the time to practice. After a serious injury, your energy and energy concentration will be deeper than usual, and there will be more room for growth. After your wound has healed, we will Let’s work together to find ways to release the true energy.”
"Um."
In the next few days, the three of them were recuperating in this small courtyard. The Su family arranged their daily life and treatment of injuries meticulously, but whenever they asked to leave the small courtyard, they were rejected, which was like putting them under house arrest in disguise.
"The ancestor has ordered that you cannot be let out now." The disciples guarding the entrance of the courtyard kept saying the same thing every day.
"Then when can we be let go?" Qiong Yi asked, holding his cane.
"I don't know, I'm just a janitor on shift. Our ancestors didn't say a specific time." The disciple paused, "Don't worry, girl, the master over at Qingfeng Academy has learned about the situation of the three of them. They are in Jiaxi It won’t be a problem no matter how long you stay.”
"Girl, you'd better heal your leg injury first, and put everything else aside first."
Qiong couldn't ask anything, so she had to slowly move back to the house and spend her days practicing. The three of them discussed for a long time, but they couldn't get any useful information from the disciples who guarded the entrance of the hospital every day. The doctors also deliberately kept it from them. Compared with the medical center in the Su family's mansion, this place was more like a temporary empty courtyard. Yan Ting guessed The old man specially detained them here to separate them from Su Ye.
