"Mother, are you awake?"
Young Master Wei heard a voice and was overjoyed. He imdiately rushed inside.
By the ti Lu Qing and Ma Gu entered, they saw him crouching in front of the awakening Mrs. Wei.
He asked with concern, "Mother, how do you feel now?"
"Where am I?" Mrs. Wei asked with a sowhat weak voice.
"We are currently in a cave deep in the mountains. On that day, Guard Pang and the others broke out to attract the enemy, while Ma Gu led us deeper into the mountains..."
"...Later, Young Doctor Lu Qing gave you acupuncture and dicine, and only then did you wake up."
Young Master Wei narrated the events of the past few days slowly.
Hearing this, Mrs. Wei realized that she had been unconscious for several days.
And while she was unconscious, so much had happened.
Her gaze fell on Lu Qing and Ma Gu.
"I am deeply grateful to you both for risking your lives to save my son and ," she said, struggling to get up to express her thanks.
Lu Qing and Ma Gu quickly stopped her: "Mrs. Wei, there is no need for this, taking care of your health is more important."
"That's right, mother, you are still injured. If you want to thank soone, let do it for you."
Upon saying this, Young Master Wei knelt down and kowtowed three loud tis to Lu Qing and Ma Gu. Discover stories with empire
"Thank you both for saving our lives, I kowtow in place of my mother to express our gratitude."
Young Master Wei's gesture ca so suddenly that even Lu Qing and the others were taken by surprise.
By the ti they reacted, Young Master Wei was already kowtowing; they had no choice but to accept this great honor.
Mrs. Wei was astonished to see this scene.
She never expected her son to make such a gesture.
If it had been him in the past, he would rather die than kneel to thank soone else.
What exactly happened during the ti she was unconscious?
"Young Master, there's no need for such gestures. I too have received favors from the Wei Family, and by coming here, I am rely repaying a previous debt. It does not rit such grand gratitude," Lu Qing sighed as Young Master Wei got up from the ground.
"Does Young Master have so deep connections with our Wei Family?" Mrs. Wei asked in surprise.
"That's right, mother, I forgot to tell you just now. This Elder Doctor Chen's disciple, nad Lu Qing, is the one who saved when my disciple was injured. His dical skill is also very profound; he managed to awaken you in less than half a day!"
Young Master Wei explained on the side.
"I don't dare take credit. Mrs. Wei's awakening is due to the dicine liquid my master prepared; my dical skill is actually very modest," Lu Qing said humbly.
"Yes, mother, that Spiritual dicine is really potent. You recovered imdiately after taking just two drops," said Young Master Wei.
Mrs. Wei looked at Lu Qing, finally realizing who he was.
Earlier, when An Er was injured, he was cured by a highly skilled elder doctor.
Later, when the Wei Mansion was preparing a gift of thanks, the Grand Steward specifically reminded her to prepare an extra gift for that very talented disciple.
She had also heard from her husband that the young man had done sothing significant in avenging his parents, wiping out a den of the Black Wolf Gang outside the city.
The mansion had previously sent the Silver Moon Guards to warn the Black Wolf Gang, essentially to safeguard the young man.
It seems Lu Qing really did have so connections with their Wei Mansion.
However, she never imagined that one day she would be saved by this young man whom she had never t.
"So, it is Young Master Lu. I have heard my husband speak of you. Seeing you now, I can tell you truly are a young talent with a remarkable appearance," Mrs. Wei comnded.
"Mrs. Wei, you flatter too much," Lu Qing replied, sowhat embarrassed.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lu Qing brought the conversation back to the matters at hand.
"Mrs. Wei, currently, many martial artists are searching these mountains, and this cave might not be safe for much longer. We need to think of a plan to move," said Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was unaware that due to the deaths of Wang Qingshan and Tong Canglang, the disciples of the Heavenly Vast Sect had already withdrawn.
But this cave, which had nothing in it, was not a place they could stay for long. Mrs. Wei needed to recuperate, and they needed food and water as well.
"But with my injuries, I fear I'll only slow you all down," Mrs. Wei said worriedly.
She was aware of her condition; the villain's blade had struck too fiercely, deep to the bone. She had nearly t the sa fate as An Er, her abdon nearly split open.
To still be alive with such severe wounds was nothing short of a miracle.
She was afraid that she might not survive the journey if they moved again.
"This should not be a problem. Mrs. Wei, you've taken the Spiritual dicine prepared by my master. In a while, you should be able to move. We are not in imdiate need to leave; we will wait for nightfall to make a move."
The dicine liquid Mrs. Wei had taken contained elents of Earth Vein Spirit Liquid. Even though it was diluted, it was still extrely effective for all kinds of external wounds.
Lu Qing estimated that in no ti, her wounds should be able to heal.
By then, they could take advantage of the darkness to relocate.
When Mrs. Wei heard Lu Qing's words, she was initially hesitant to believe it. But when she tried to move a bit, she discovered that the wound on her body actually did not hurt that much anymore.
Furthermore, although she had been unconscious for several days, she now felt surprisingly spirited, nothing like soone who had suffered a serious injury.
This greatly astonished Mrs. Wei.
She rembered what An Er had told her before.
Lu Qing had given her an exceedingly precious dicine.
