22: Chapter 22 A Servant is Also Qualified?
Having heard Fei Hou’s response, Huang Xiaolong finally understood why Fei Hou’s ridians were shattered and why his injuries were so severe.
“Sit down cross-legged.
I will start healing you now,” Huang Xiaolong said, pondering for a mont.
Although he wanted to learn more about the Asura Sect, stabilizing Fei Hou’s critical condition was the most important task at hand.
“Sect Leader, my ridians have been shattered,” Fei Hou hesitated before speaking.
Typically, shattered ridians were beyond repair unless one could find so legendary Holy dicine.
“Don’t worry,” Huang Xiaolong waved his hand and said, “I can reconnect the ridians in your body.
However, it will take about half a year.”
“The Sect Leader can reconnect the shattered ridians in my body!” Fei Hou was shocked.
He did not doubt Huang Xiaolong’s words but found them sowhat unbelievable.
Could the Sect Leader have the legendary Holy dicine?
“Now sit down cross-legged,” continued Huang Xiaolong.
Fei Hou, though filled with questions, dared not disobey and respectfully complied, sitting cross-legged as instructed.
As soon as he sat down, Huang Xiaolong placed his palms on his back.
Inner Strength circulated and flowed into Fei Hou’s body, causing him to feel warm currents on his back.
He quickly focused his mind to cooperate with Huang Xiaolong, guiding the warm currents to nourish his entire body.
More than an hour passed.
Huang Xiaolong only withdrew his hands then, looking sowhat pale.
Although he had cultivated the Yijinjing to the Fourth Stance, his Inner Strength was still weak.
However, after more than an hour of inputting Yijinjing’s Inner Strength, Fei Hou was able to guide the Inner Strength in his body to heal himself.
After a while, Huang Xiaolong, seeing Fei Hou still cultivating and healing on the bed, left the room and headed back to his own courtyard.
Huang Peng, seeing his son return looking exhausted, felt puzzled.
Hadn’t his son gone shopping with Li Lu?
“Xiao Long, are you alright?” Huang Peng couldn’t help asking.
Huang Xiaolong, seeing his father’s concerned gaze, couldn’t help but smile and said, “Dad, I’m fine.”
Huang Peng’s expression relaxed, he asked, “Has Miss Li Lu gone ho?”
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
Suddenly, Huang Peng smiled strangely, stared intently at Huang Xiaolong, and teasingly said, “Are Miss Li Lu’s hands very soft and tender?
Is it comfortable to have a beauty hold your hand?”
Huang Xiaolong was stunned, then he chuckled wryly, “What are you talking about, Dad?
There really isn’t anything between Miss Li Lu and .”
Huang Peng laughed and said, “Alright, I know there’s nothing between you and Miss Li Lu.
It’s just that Miss Li Lu has so feelings for you.” He chuckled joyfully, “You didn’t see how ugly Huang Wei’s face looked when Miss Li Lu was holding your hand as you walked away.
It was as if he had eaten sothing disgusting.”
Huang Xiaolong shook his head and smiled.
“However, Xiao Long, you should be more cautious of Huang Wei from now on,” Huang Peng said, his tone shifting to one of concern.
“I know, Dad.
Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.
I’ll head to my room now,” Huang Xiaolong said.
Huang Peng nodded, “Alright, go and rest.”
After returning to his room, Huang Xiaolong took out the Cold Jade Bed from the Asura Ring, sat cross-legged on it, and began cultivating the Asura Technique.
As dawn broke, Huang Xiaolong ceased his cultivation, all fatigue vanished, and he felt more refreshed than ever.
Coming out of his room and leaving the courtyard, Huang Xiaolong headed towards Fei Hou’s room.
As he approached, he saw Fei Hou coming out of the room.
“I pay my respects to you, Sect Leader, you are invincible in the world!” Fei Hou, upon seeing Huang Xiaolong, hurried over and respectfully kowtowed, his deanor even more reverential following the previous night’s healing.
“Get up,” said Huang Xiaolong with a nod.
Fei Hou then respectfully stood up.
“Fei Hou, when you are in front of others, just call Young Master,” Huang Xiaolong pondered, “Also, there’s no need to say ‘Sect Leader, you are invincible in the world’ anymore.”
Sect Leader Invincible Under the Heavens, a phrase Huang Xiaolong found increasingly awkward no matter how many tis he heard it.
He knew this was sothing Ren Wokuang had established back in the day.
Fei Hou hesitated for a mont before speaking, “Sect Leader, the phrase ‘Sect Leader Invincible Under the Heavens’ was set by the Old Sect Master.
Could it be that…?”
Huang Xiaolong waved his hand and said, “I am aware it was set by my master back then.
However, rules are made by n.
Now that I am the Sect Leader, this rule shall be abolished going forward.”
Master?
Fei Hou had originally been puzzled about the relationship between Huang Xiaolong and the Old Sect Master.
On hearing this, he finally understood.
But then again, who else could take over the position of Sect Master of the Asura Sect other than a Direct Disciple of the Old Sect Master?
Thereupon, Fei Hou respectfully said, “As you command, Sect Leader!”
“How is your recovery from your injuries?” Huang Xiaolong inquired.
“Reporting to the Sect Leader, my injuries have recovered by sixty to seventy percent.
In another three days, I should be fully recovered, but as for the ridians inside my body…” Fei Hou paused.
“You need not worry about the ridians inside your body,” Huang Xiaolong interjected.
“Tell about the current situation at the Asura Sect.”
Fei Hou’s face showed difficulty upon hearing this.
“What’s wrong?” Huang Xiaolong frowned.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s expression, Fei Hou quickly clarified, “Sect Leader, it’s not that I am unwilling to report, but I also am not very clear about it.”
“Not very clear?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.
“Yes,” Fei Hou nodded, then he explained to Huang Xiaolong.
It turned out that he had joined the Asura Sect nearly twenty years ago, and he had never been to the Asura Gate Headquarters.
Twenty years ago, he t his master, who took a liking to him and accepted him as a Disciple because his master was an elder of the Asura Sect, which was how he had joined the Sect, but his master had not shared much about the Sect’s situation with him.
His master was nad Yu Ming.
“However, Master has said that since the Old Sect Master disappeared fifty years ago, the Asura Sect has split into two factions vying for the position of Sect Master,” Fei Hou continued.
“Split into two factions!” Huang Xiaolong’s brows furrowed, “Where is your master Yu Ming now?”
“Three years ago, I separated from my master, and I haven’t seen him since.
He ntioned going to the Royal City of the Mohe Kingdom to handle so affairs at that ti,” Fei Hou answered.
Mohe Kingdom?
Huang Xiaolong knew of this Mohe Kingdom, but the distance from Huang Family Manor in the Luotong Kingdom was not close; traveling from the Luotong Kingdom to the Mohe Kingdom required crossing more than a dozen kingdoms.
In that case, it seed impossible to get a detailed understanding of the Asura Sect now.
Just then, Li Lu ran over from a distance, saw Huang Xiaolong from afar, and said joyfully with a pretty face, “Xiao Long, I knew you would be here.
Let’s go, the banquet is starting soon.
Let’s head over now.”
Seeing Li Lu, Huang Xiaolong felt a headache coming on.
He turned to Fei Hou and said, “You co with .”
“Yes, Young Master!” Fei Hou responded respectfully.
Although Li Lu was puzzled by Fei Hou addressing Huang Xiaolong as Young Master, she didn’t dwell on it.
She ran to Huang Xiaolong, took his hand, and ran towards the front hall, as holding Huang Xiaolong’s hand had apparently beco a habit of hers.
Huang Xiaolong tried to withdraw his hand, but this ti the young miss held it tightly, making it impossible to pull away.
Huang Xiaolong had no choice but to let Li Lu drag him to the front hall.
When they arrived, they just so happened to et his father, Huang Peng, and four others coming from a small courtyard.
Huang Wei, seeing Li Lu holding Huang Xiaolong’s hand, his expression was predictable; as for Huang Peng, he gave Huang Xiaolong a strange and ambiguous smile, subtly giving him a thumbs up.
Seeing his father’s thumbs up gesture, Huang Xiaolong felt even more depressed.
After entering the Great Hall, everyone took their seats.
Huang Qide and the others naturally joined Li Mu at the main table.
However, when they were about to sit down, Li Lu pulled Huang Xiaolong to sit beside her, while Fei Hou automatically stood behind Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Qide, Huang Peng, and the others noted Fei Hou standing behind Huang Xiaolong, and since Fei Hou addressed Huang Xiaolong as Young Master, they assud he was a new servant Huang Xiaolong had bought at the slave market during his outing the previous evening, so they didn’t inquire further.
“Fei Hou, you can sit over there as well,” Huang Xiaolong said, pointing to an empty seat at another table nearby, seeing Fei Hou standing behind him, after all, as a Tenth Order Expert, it was inappropriate for him to remain standing.
Then, Huang Wei’s discordant voice rang out, “Sit?
Huang Xiaolong, who do you think you are?
Today is Elder Li’s grand birthday banquet, and a newly bought servant like you also has the right to sit here?”
(Tomorrow is Monday, Divine wants to make a push on the rankings, hoping everyone can cast a recomndation vote after reading the new chapter, thank you.)
