Ch. 60 - Brother Looks Badly Hurt

Ye Anping seemed to be seriously injured.

But it only seemed.

This injury might make an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator unable to get out of bed for a month or two, but to him, it was just a scratch.

In the past, he not only accompanied his younger sister to practice penance but also took part in it.

After a while, he couldn't beat his sister anymore and instead was beaten by her on a daily basis.

Gradually, he developed a body of copper skin and iron bones.

Although he couldn't compare to Feng Yu Die's ability to regenerate broken limbs, his self-healing power and shock resistance were several times, maybe even tens of times better than that of his peers in the same cultivation stage.

He estimated that even without the help of drugs, he could walk with just the regulation of breathing in two hours and would recover in three or four days.

But...

When you are cold, Mother thinks you are very sick. And this was a kind of injury that made his sister think he was seriously hurt.

Previously, when Black Star Sect's Doctor Zhou was questioning them, Bai Yuexin said that he was hit by the spells of a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, and he was covered in blood at the time, which was an exaggeration.

So, after listening to this, Dr. Zhou examined the injury, then prescribed a pile of drugs and asked the little helpers in the hospital to bandage him with ointment and gauze.

At this moment, Bai Yuexin, who was sitting beside Ye Anping's bed, with a bowl of medicinal soup, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it for a long time, and even tested the temperature with her own lips before reaching out to his mouth.

"Aah~~ Take your medicine."

Ye Anping looked away from the window, turned to look at the spoon she held out, and sighed lightly.

"Sister Bai, there's no need for this. It's not a serious injury."

"How is that not a serious injury?! Doctor Zhou said that if the meridians were affected, it wouldn't be visible in the short term, but it might leave after-effects." Bai Yuexin frowned and retorted. "Besides, what if it leaves a scar? Such a cute face... Come on, open your mouth."

"Ah-" Ye Anping reluctantly opened his mouth, took a sip of the medicine, then tried to convince her. "That's okay, I will go back to the physiotherapy center after Elder Lei comes here. I am not a disciple of the Black Star Sect, so even if I have to stay in a medical center, I cannot stay here. This is the medical center of the inner disciples of the Black Star Sect."

"How can the medical center in town be better than this one? Doctor Zhou's medical skills are very good, don't worry."

"...I'm not worried about Doctor Zhou's medical skills, I'm..."

In the early stages of the game, if a player chose to join the Black Star Sect, then every time after a serious injury, he would be revived in Doctor Zhou's medical center, showing that his medical skills had exceeded the realm's borders.

But-

Every time the player was revived, thousands of spirit stones were deducted from him.

The more it exceeded the boundaries, the more was deducted.

Even if the player became a true immortal, if he or she was resurrected here, they would not receive any privileges, and the money would be deducted as usual.

To be honest, Ye Anping did not expect Bai Yuexin to take him to Dr. Zhou's medical center and even give him a private reserve.

This was, after all, a place for treating the injuries of the Black Star Sect's inner disciples.

And it's not like he's badly hurt.

It was no exaggeration to say that coming here to treat an injury was like falling, then running to the best hospital, recording the outpatient number of a surgical specialist, and going through the inpatient procedures.

He had just won a lot of spirit stones, but he was going to use them to buy jewelry and magical items for his sister, so he couldn't afford to squander them like that.

Ye Anping sighed and said bluntly, "I'm worried about the medical bills."

"Medical bills?" Bai Yuexin was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hand and explained. "Doctor Zhou doesn't charge for seeing a patient, but you will be charged at the town's Medical Center."

"...That's for you, the inner disciples. He has a subsidy to treat your wounds." Ye Anping gave her a blank look. "Sister Bai, you have been in the Black Star Sect for decades, don't you know that only the inner disciples don't pay to see the doctor here? The outer disciples have to pay a fee."

"Ah, is that so?" Bai Yuexin nodded in a daze as if she had learned something new. "Well, it shouldn't cost too many spirit stones. It can't be very expensive... can it?"

"..."

Ye Anping didn't know what to say, the best medical clinic within a thousand miles wouldn't be very expensive? There was no public medical system in this world...

Then again, why did this girl suddenly become optimistic?

Knock, knock--

At this time, there were two light knocks on the door.

Bai Yuexin turned her head and answered for Ye Anping.

"Oh~ please come in!"

The door was pushed open.

After seeing the two people who walked in, Bai Yuexin quickly put down the soup bowl in her hand, stood up, and bowed. "Greetings, Great Elder Lei... Elder Wang..."

"Well, you go out for a bit." Lei Wanjun said to Bai Yuexin.

"...Alright."

After she walked out of the room, the two went to Ye Anping's bedside.

Lei Wanjun looked at Ye Anping, who was now wrapped up in bandages, and slightly raised his eyebrows. "You are injured pretty bad... little friend, can you still speak?"

It's just that the bandages look scary... Ye Anping felt ashamed and wanted to stand up and salute, but the bandages were tightly wrapped, holding his joints so that he couldn't move at all. Therefore, he just nodded and replied with his eyes down. "Please forgive me for being impolite, I can't get up to salute. I am Ye Anping. Greetings, Elder Lei and Elder Wang."

"Young Ye?" After hearing his self-introduction, Wang Shouren seemed to have just recognized him and was shocked. "It's you!"

"Yes."

Lei Wanjun looked at Wang Shouren: "You know him?"

"The Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect. I met him once when his father invited me to play chess. This kid has cultivated hard since he was a child. Although he has dual spiritual roots, his roots and foundations are much better than many disciples in the sect."

"Is that so..."

Lei Wanjun looked at Ye Anping and asked, "I heard you have something to give me?"

Ye Anping nodded, and after bringing over the storage bag placed aside with his spiritual power, he took out a travel order from it and handed it to him.

"Miss Feng handed over this travel order to me before she was taken away, and she asked me to come back and give it to the elders of the Black Star Sect."

Lei Wanjun took the travel order, turned it around to examine it for a while, and then put it in his storage bag.

He then asked, "Why did you two go to Willow Moon Lake?"

His tone was extremely serious, and Ye Anping could tell he did not trust him.

However, he had expected this, or he wouldn't have purposely fried the fish in the lake and injured himself.

Ye Anping lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I originally invited Miss Feng to take a walk together at Willow Moon Lake because I heard that the scenery there was good, but who would have thought... that we were being followed by someone. If I had been more alert, Miss Feng would not have been taken away by that man..."

"So..." Lei Wanjun nodded and continued to ask, "You and Feng Yu Die have known each other for a long time?"

"Yes, we..."

Wang Shouren also heard the distrust toward Ye Anping in Lei Wanjun's words, so he simply explained on his behalf. "Elder Lei, Feng Yu Die, this boy, and his younger sister, that girl who saluted with a lively spirit, killed a demonic cultivator in Wuxi Town together, and both of them were injured at that time. Feng Yu Die then went with him to the Hundred Lotus Sect to recover, so it could be considered they have a lifelong friendship..."

Hearing this, Lei Wanjun remembered Pei Lianxue, who left quite an impression on him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "...Demonic cultivator?"

"Yes, I reported this matter to Great Elder He Yun earlier. The one who was killed was the Grand Master of the Magical Poison Sect, named Wu You, who was in the late stage of Core Formation."

"A few Qi Refining stage cultivators... killed a late Core Formation stage demonic cultivator?" A hint of disbelief flashed in Lei Wanjun's eyes.

"Elder Lei, this boy and his sister are both outstanding among their peers in the Qi Refining stage, while Feng Yu Die has the blood of the Holy Emperor. I've been to Wuxi Town to inquire about it, and many people have seen the golden dragon."

"She aroused the Holy Emperor's Dragon Body... hmm..." Lei Wanjun nodded, thinking that this was reasonable, and asked again, "If the Seven Slayers Sect is behind Feng Yu Die's kidnapping... Could it be related to that demonic cultivator?"

"It's possible. The Seven Slayers Sect has received commissions from demonic cultivators before, but there's nothing conclusive yet."

"Hmm..."

Lei Wanjun was frowning. Although he didn't know why the Grand Master of the Magical Poison Sect appeared in the Western Region, his sect traveled across the four regions because of his death and hired the Seven Slayers to capture Feng Yu Die. Their hand had stretched out a little too far.

He thought for a while and then asked, "When you killed the Grand Master of the Magical Poison Sect, did you take anything from his storage bag?"

"We did. He had an identity card, a few magical artifacts, and some spirit stones..."

"Nothing out of the ordinary?"

"I only took some spirit stones, and everything else went to Miss Feng, so..."

"That is..." Lei Wanjun looked at Ye Anping's lost face and comforted him. "Forget it, don't worry. This matter now concerns our Black Star Sect's reputation. I promise you that I will definitely help you bring that girl back safely."

"Thank you, Elder, I will wait for your good news."

"Hmm."

Lei Wanjun nodded and then prepared to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Ye Anping hesitated for a moment but decided to tell what worried him and get Lei Wanjun's help.

"Elder."

Lei Wanjun looked back. "Eh?"

"Well..." Ye Anping put on the appearance that a fifteen-year-old child should have, and said shyly, "Elder, I'm ashamed to say that I don't have any spirit stones with me, so I'm afraid I can't afford to pay for the treatment in the medical center here. So..."

Lei Wanjun smiled, but it suddenly occurred to him that Dr. Zhou was pretty stingy, and if he asked him to waive Ye Anping's medical fee, most likely, he would be annoyed by that old man's endless nagging in the future...

So, he looked at Wang Shouren. "Elder Wang, make arrangements for this kid."

?

Does this mean that I should pay for his medical expenses... Wang Shouren frowned at the sudden thought--- Dr. Zhou was a stingy person, if he asked him to waive Ye Anping's medical fee, wouldn't he be pissed off?

So, he turned his head to look at Ye Anping, who was lying on the bed, and said, "Kid, your old man will..."

Ye Anping hurriedly interrupted. "Thank you, Elder Wang."

"..."

He originally wanted to pass on Ye Anping's medical bills to his father, but Ye Anping strangled his words by saying, "Thank you, Elder Wang."

Speechless, Wang Shouren took a deep breath, glanced at Lei Wanjun beside him, and heaved a long sigh.

"Well..."

He should have known not to follow to join the fun, he thought and silently slapped himself in his heart a few times...

---Who told you to join in the fun?! Join in the fun! Join in the fun, he said!

---Look, hundreds of spirit stones are given away for nothing...
