After the man and **** rescued him for more than an hour, Su He’s wounds were all covered with ointnt. "Aunt, it’s done. His pulse has stabilized. Let’s let him rest for a while, and we can check on him again tomorrow morning," the man said.
"Alright." **** nodded and turned to leave the room.
The next morning, Su He groggily opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings, imdiately becoming alert. He tried to sit up, but quickly discovered that his hands and feet were tied with ropes, making him unable to move.
Despite being seriously injured, with his skill as a master on the Heavenly List, breaking free from these ropes was no difficult task. After hesitating for a mont, Su He lay back down.
Soon after, the door to the room was pushed open, and a man walked in from outside. Seeing Su He awake, the man hurried to the bedside and asked, "How do you feel?"
Su He looked at the man and said, "Did you save ?"
The man nodded, "You fainted in the box behind my house. I saw you when I went out to dump the garbage, so I brought you inside."
"Are you a doctor?"
"Yes, our Shi Family has been practicing dicine for generations, so you can rest assured," the man said with a smile. After a pause, the man glanced at the ropes on Su He’s hands and feet and said apologetically, "Sorry, my aunt said we didn’t know your identity, so for safety’s sake, we tied you up."
Su He said aningfully, "So you are from the Shi Family."
Hearing this, the man excitedly said, "You’ve heard of our Shi Family?"
Su He nodded and said, "No one in the Martial Arts world does not know the Shi Family. Many people’s lives have been saved because of the Shi Family’s miraculous hands. Thank you for saving ."
"You’re welco. By the way, I still don’t know your na."
"My surna is Su, Su Sanshui."
"Su Sanshui?" The man smiled slightly and said, "That’s an interesting na. Let introduce myself, I am Shi Tian."
As soon as he finished speaking, soone walked in from outside. Seeing this person, Shi Tian smiled and introduced, "Elder Su, this is my aunt, Shi Su."
"Thank you, Miss Shi, for saving my life."
Shi Su looked calm and asked, "Elder Su, I’m curious, who injured you so severely?"
"The Arrow God, Zhang Zhongfeng." Su He quickly stated Zhang Zhongfeng’s na. Since he knew that they were from the Shi Family, there was nothing to hide. With the Shi Family’s dical skills, they would have already seen it from the wounds. So, instead of lying and arousing suspicion, it was better to be straightforward.
"Just as I suspected!" Shi Su nodded and said, "I guessed it, it was indeed him. Elder Su, if you don’t mind, would you be willing to tell why Zhang Zhongfeng attacked you?"
"I have personal grievances with the Eight Oddities, and it just so happened they ran into in Beijing this ti, so a conflict broke out. Besides , everyone else was killed."
"Humph!" Shi Su gritted her teeth and said with resentnt, "As long as Ling Chen is involved, nothing good ever happens."
Hearing this, Su He looked at Shi Su with an intrigued expression and asked, "Do you have a grudge with Ling Chen?"
"That’s all in the past. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Elder Su, please rest well. I’ll have Shi Tian take care of you," said Shi Su before turning and leaving the room.
"Young brother, could you help untie the ropes?"
"No problem." Shi Tian hurried to untie the ropes, restoring Su He’s mobility.
After Shi Tian left, Su He lay alone on the bed, his smile gradually receding, revealing a hint of coldness in his eyes. Rembering the events of last night, Su He couldn’t help but clench his fists, his body trembling slightly. After living so many years, he had never suffered such humiliation.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Under Shi Tian’s careful care, Su He’s injuries healed quickly, and he was basically able to walk around.
That day, having just finished lunch, Su He lay on the bed, intending to have a good rest. But suddenly, he heard a conversation between Shi Tian and Shi Su outside the room.
"Aunt, are we really going back?"
"Yes! A ssage ca from ho, saying that your uncle is at the most critical point. After so many failures, this ti he has the best chance to break through the bottleneck and enter the Heavenly List realm. Our Shi Family has never had a master on the Heavenly List in all these years. If your uncle succeeds this ti, our Shi Family will have a master on the Heavenly List. Do you know what it ans to have a master on the Heavenly List? From now on, our Shi Family won’t have to bow to anyone. Everyone will have to treat us with utmost respect."
"Yes, Aunt, I understand. I’ll go prepare now."
"Go ahead, I’ve already booked the plane tickets. By the way, inform Elder Su that while we’re away, he’ll have to take care of himself."
"Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside. Hearing the footsteps, Su He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the approaching Shi Tian, and asked, "Young brother, do you have sothing to discuss with ?"
"Elder Su, our family has so important matters and will likely be away for a while. Will you be able to take care of yourself?"
"You’re going back to the Shi Family?" Su He appeared very surprised. After a mont of silence, Su He continued, "I have an unreasonable request, and I’m not sure if you would be willing."
"Elder Su, please go ahead."
"Could you take with you to the Shi Family?" Su He pleaded, "I have nowhere else to go now. My brothers were all killed by Ling Chen and the others. Considering how the Eight Oddities behave, they surely won’t let go. The Shi Family saved , and from now on, I want to stay with the Shi Family and serve you." Hearing this, Shi Tian hesitated, looking troubled, and said, "Elder Su, I’m afraid I can’t make that decision."
Su He quickly said, "Don’t worry, I won’t be a burden. Despite my age, I still have so abilities. At least, I don’t regard martial artists below the Earthly List level as a threat."
"Elder Su, you are an Earthly List master?" Shi Tian seed a bit surprised.
Su He nodded and said, "After so many years, I’ve only barely entered the Earthly List level. Young brother, if you don’t mind..."
"Shi Tian, take him along." Before Su He could finish his sentence, Shi Su appeared at the doorway, "Elder Su, since you wish to stay with our Shi Family, I agree. However, our Shi Family has many rules, and I hope you can abide by them."
Su He smiled slightly and said, "Rest assured, Miss Shi, I definitely won’t let you down."
He actually knew that Shi Su was eavesdropping outside the door, so his words were ant for her. Because he knew that only Shi Su could make the decision. An Earthly List master, he believed Shi Su would be interested.
