Chapter 525: Chapter 525, The Whip Cracks (29th Update)
Qin Yu and his wife returned to Number One Manor, facing many events, all with grim portents.
If she were a ruthless person, she wouldn’t bother with the affairs of others, why should their life or death matter to her? Unfortunately, she was not.
Even for Qin Mao’s sake, she had to make a gesture of solidarity. The boy was pitiable, and if he were to lose his parents, his sensitive nature might just falter.
It was also for Ayi, to have a friend.
A friend he had grown up with from childhood, one who could support him should she be unable to stay in the future.
Back in the side room, Xie Yi slept peacefully.
...
Xie Zhinuan smiled, lay down, pulled the blanket over herself, and closed her eyes to sleep.
Dugu Zhen stared at the dicine bottle for a long ti before finally knocking on Qin Yu’s door.
When Qin Yu opened the door and saw it was Dugu Zhen, he called out, “Uncle!”
Then hurriedly said to Zhao Xiuya, “Xiuya, this is the husband of my aunt I ntioned to you, the Grand Elder of the Carefree Sect, our Uncle!”
Zhao Xiuya was astonished and suddenly understood why Dugu Zhen had rescued them at that ti.
So there was this connection.
She quickly paid her respects, “I greet Uncle!”
“Hmm, no need for such formality!” Dugu Zhen said, glancing at Qin Mao on the bed, and handed the dicine bottle to Qin Yu, “This was given by Zhinuan; each of you take one pill and consu it!”
“…”
“…”
The couple was puzzled.
They looked at each other, surprised, yet Qin Yu reached out to accept it.
Upon opening the porcelain bottle, a strong dicinal fragrance filled the room, refreshing their spirits.
He knew this was a dicine pill of incomparable value.
He poured out the pills, took one for himself, and handed another to Zhao Xiuya, “Take it!”
“…”
Zhao Xiuya likewise hesitated not at all, even if it were poison.
She took it and swallowed.
Dugu Zhen watched the two of them. “Although I brought you back, the person who took you in is Zhinuan, the one who saved your child is Zhinuan, and now the one giving you the dicine pill is also her. I won’t say much more; as long as you understand in your hearts, that’s sufficient. The dicinal ingredients she wrote down, I hope you can find them and personally bring them to Gaocheng County!”
Hearing this, Qin Yu promptly replied, “Uncle, rest assured, your and Miss Xie’s great kindness is deeply engraved in my heart, I dare not forget!”
“Hmm!”
Dugu Zhen gave a deep response and then left the side room.
Qin Yu wanted to say more, but he felt his entire body warming up. The chronic pain in his body seed to be soothed by a gentle hand, lessening his discomfort instantly.
And at the Dantian, it was warm, as if his Inner Strength was surging.
“This dicine pill…” Qin Yu muttered to himself, then urged, “Xiuya, quickly sit down and ditate to channel your energy!”
“Yes!”
Zhao Xiuya naturally felt it too.
She imdiately sat down to ditate and channel her energy.
Regardless of her thoughts, she dared not let her mind wander, fearing that a single misstep might lead to deviating from her cultivation or worse.
At that very mont, within a residence in Gaocheng County.
Sun Yian was lashing a woman with a whip. The woman’s body was covered in wounds, blood flowing freely. With each strike of the whip, flesh splattered, and with each lash, her agonized screams echoed.
“Ah!”
She had nowhere to hide, no place to escape; she could only watch the whip descend, feeling heart-wrenching pain.
She dared not beg for rcy; this beating might leave her alive, but pleading could provoke Sun Yian further, possibly leading to violation, or even crueler abuses.
She could only endure, bear each and every lash.
Until Sun Yian, exhausted and gasping for breath, sat on a chair and poured tea from a kettle into his mouth.
“Take her away!” Sun Yian commanded in a deep voice.
His eyes were filled with cruelty.
