Lu Neng, however, showed a look of understanding. This steward is good at everything, except when nervous, he can’t think straight and speaks carelessly!
As the leader of the crowd, Lu Neng knew there was no escaping, so he took a deep breath and stepped forward, saying, "I’m Lu Neng, father of Lu Kai. I ca today to inquire about what happened that day."
"Ha! Not here for revenge?"
Xiao Tian couldn’t help but laugh, "You ca with a knife to inquire?"
Lu Neng quickly denied it, but Xiao Tian continued, "You just said the mountain path is blocked?"
"Yes!" Seeing Xiao Tian no longer dwell on the matter, Lu Neng quickly cupped his hands and replied, "The boulder that fell from the mountaintop just now blocked the already narrow path completely. The stone is as tall as five or six people and is impossible to climb over."
"We were worried more rocks would fall, so we ca here!"
Listening to Lu Neng’s explanation, Xiao Tian coldly smiled and said, "With your status as the patriarch of the number one family in Lu Province, isn’t calling a helicopter an easy task?"
Lu Neng bitterly smiled repeatedly. With Ren Wenshan’s threat to expose the contract, he feared making any move that would attract attention from above, but he said, "Young Master Zhong, you must be joking!"
"If you won’t call, then call one over for !" Xiao Tian said flatly, "I have things to do; I don’t have ti to waste with you here!"
"Alright, alright!" Lu Neng quickly motioned for the steward to start making arrangents.
...
Ten minutes later, a helicopter slowly landed on the open ground outside the Dao Yi Sect’s gate. After Xiao Tian boarded, he showed no intention of inviting Lu Neng aboard.
Not only that, before the helicopter took off, Xiao Tian shouted towards the gate, "Saintly Virtue, don’t worry about these people outside! They’re not going to starve!"
The helicopter slowly flew towards Shanghai...
The crowd outside looked at each other in confusion, completely baffled. They’ve seen people burn bridges before, but never seen it done so thoroughly!
They called a helicopter for him, and not only did he not let them board, but he also requested the Dao Yi Sect to ignore their survival?
Isn’t this too much?
They didn’t think that, after Xiao Tian learned of their intentions, not killing them was already worthy of their gratitude!
Inside, the Saintly Virtue Daoist naturally heard the voice that overwheld the rotor’s sound, and he flushed as he ordered, "Let those people outside fend for themselves!"
——
The helicopter carried Xiao Tian non-stop to Shanghai. As soon as he got off, Xiao Tian rushed to the hospital.
On the way, passers-by couldn’t help but turn to look at the man in ragged clothes covered in dust, but Xiao Tian ignored these gazes. All he wanted now was to see Lin Bingxuan imdiately!
After sprinting all the way to the ward, Xiao Tian took a deep breath, clutching the Life Seal in his pocket, and opened the ward door.
The first thing Xiao Tian saw was Yu Ningxue, wringing a towel dry and preparing to place it on Lin Bingxuan’s head.
Yu Ningxue gently placed the towel on Lin Bingxuan’s forehead, then threw herself into Xiao Tian’s arms, pounding on his chest.
"You scoundrel, always making people worry!"
As Yu Ningxue spoke, tears welled in her beautiful eyes. Seeing Xiao Tian in his ragged attire and dusty face, she couldn’t help but cry!
Xiao Tian quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "I’m fine, I just look a bit disheveled. Has Bingxuan woken up while I was away?"
"No!" Yu Ningxue shook her head, and after confirming Xiao Tian was uninjured, she said, "The doctor said Bingxuan’s condition is not optimistic, and she had a high fever last night, which just subsided shortly before you returned!"
Xiao Tian nodded and hurriedly went to Lin Bingxuan’s side, lifting the corner of the quilt to check her pulse...
"How did this happen?"
Frowning, Xiao Tian muttered to himself, "Wasn’t it controlled?"
Seeing Xiao Tian’s tense expression, Yu Ningxue felt anxious as well, her brows furrowing, "Is the situation bad?"
Xiao Tian shook his head without answering.
This wasn’t just bad; it was dire.
Before Xiao Tian went to Lu Province, he checked Lin Bingxuan’s pulse every day, and at that ti, her pulse was stable, obviously suppressed by his True Qi.
However, in just these few days since he left, Lin Bingxuan’s pulse had weakened to the point of being almost imperceptible.
Xiao Tian began feeling fearful; if he had returned even a little later, they might have been separated by life and death!
But Xiao Tian also understood that now was not the ti for such thoughts. He quickly took out the Life Seal from his arms.
He found that the exquisitely patterned seal had no effect after being taken out. Xiao Tian tried it on Lin Bingxuan’s head, forehead, palms of both hands and feet, and even her chest, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Feeling Lin Bingxuan’s increasingly weak pulse, a resolute look appeared on Xiao Tian’s somber face; he could only use the thod from last ti again.
Once decided, he acted, which was Xiao Tian’s consistent approach. After instructing Yu Ningxue to help Lin Bingxuan sit up, Xiao Tian sat beside her, pressing her hands with his and began to strive against the mysterious force causing Lin Bingxuan’s vitality to fade away.
To say he was fighting that mysterious force was perhaps not accurate, as Xiao Tian had no idea if such a force even existed.
But as Xiao Tian continued to infuse his True Qi, Lin Bingxuan’s vitality slowly stopped deteriorating.
This ti, Xiao Tian dared not recklessly infuse Inner Strength as before. He cautiously channeled Inner Strength into Lin Bingxuan, fearing to harm her ridians!
Since there was no True Qi within Lin Bingxuan, the width of her ridians and the rate and intensity at which they could bear infusion required Xiao Tian to be extrely precise.
Too much would injure her, too little would be ineffective!
This delicate work was particularly taxing on Spiritual Power, and in no ti, sweat covered his face.
Yu Ningxue, supporting Lin Bingxuan from behind, dared not move a muscle, her brows knitted as she watched the sweat pouring off Xiao Tian, her gaze filled with worry!
The situation continued for nearly half an hour, until Yu Ningxue, maintaining one posture for so long felt neck pain, and Xiao Tian finally stopped.
"How is it?" Yu Ningxue asked with concern, looking at Xiao Tian.
Wiping the sweat from his face, which revealed alternating black and white, Xiao Tian smiled, "Temporarily stabilized, but..."
Seeing Xiao Tian’s gaze slowly turning cold, Yu Ningxue knew there was sothing else troubling him.
Feeling Yu Ningxue’s concerned gaze, Xiao Tian gave a comforting smile and walked out of the ward...
"Help with sothing!" Xiao Tian dialed a nearby military district of the Li Dao Yi Sect.
"Tian!" The voice of a young colonel, receiving the call and hearing the familiar tone, stood up excitedly!
