Millennium Ship.
"Brother?!" Qian Lin exclaid in surprise when he saw Qian Tian arrived along with Jing Bai and Feng Mo. Fei Lin was carrying the unconscious Xi Ling. They all looked battered.
Qian Tian sighed in relief when he saw his younger brother is alright. "We're all fine. Aside from elder Fei and elder Xi who were exhausted…" he said and looked at Jing Bai and Feng Mo who suddenly collapsed on the floor of the Millennium Ship.
"Feng-shixiong!!!" Lei Ling, who went to check Lei Qing and You Rou, returned and saw Feng Mo and Jing Bai collapsed. His face paled and he imdiately ran to check Feng Mo's and Jing Bai's pulse. Then, he turned to Qian Lin. "Second young master Qian, please call my jie and you-shii!" he said.
Qian Lin nodded and imdiately ran inside. Qian Tian smiled before he also collapsed when Qian Lin left. He was also exhausted.
"Sect leader Qian…?" Lei Ling called.
"I'm alright. Just my internal injuries causing trouble… ugh…" Qian Tian grunted when he felt his abdon beca wet. He looked down and saw his robe was stained with red. His wound reopened.
"Sect leader Qian!" Lei Ling exclaid in fright.
"Your wounds reopened?!" it was You Rou who arrived with Lei Qing and Qian Lin. She almost dropped the tray she's holding. Fortunately, Qian Lin caught it.
"You-shii! Please check Feng-shixiong and second young master Jing!" Lei Ling said.
Lei Ling's voice made You Rou return to her senses. She imdiately ran to check Jing Bai's and Feng Mo's pulse. Although they are cultivators, but they only know the basics. Lei Ling only checked temporarily. But, like Cheng Sheng, You Rou is a thorough doctor.
"They're fine. They just overdosed themselves from the dicines to force their strength to increase in a short amount of ti. They are just experiencing the backlash, but it won't affect their cultivation and only their body will be hard." You Rou explained. "They will be in a coma for nearly five days. Bring them inside to rest. Don't disturb them." She said.
They all breathed a sigh of relief. Lei Qing and Qian Lin carried a person each over their shoulder and brought them to the cabin.
"Can you please check Xi Ling?" Fei Lin asked as he adjusted Xi Ling in his arms.
"Yes!" You Rou answered and imdiately went to check Xi Ling's pulse.
Qian Tian saw You Rou went to check Xi Ling, so he turned to Lei Ling who beca free after Lei Qing and Qian Lin carried Jing Bai and Feng Mo away. "Hey. Can you hand the bandages and powdered dicines?" he asked. "I'll dress my wounds myself." He told him.
Lei Ling's face reddened in sha. He fails in dressing the wounds, and so he can only follow Qian Tian's instruction.
"Let . Wait for to finish." You Rou spoke as her fingers pressed on Xi Ling's wrist.
Qian Tian and Lei Ling looked at her. They didn't speak, but they didn't move again.
"Elder Xi exhausted his qi." You Rou said as she felt Xi Ling's veins pulsing under his skin. "You've replenished his qi, but fortunately, you didn't overdo it." She said.
"What will happen if I did?" Fei Lin nervously asked.
"Elder Xi drained his qi very fast. His ridians need to adapt to the loss of his qi. Naturally, they also need to adapt to the qi that replenished the lost qi." You Rou said. "Fortunately, your qi is similar and also familiar to elder Xi's qi, so his ridians didn't reject your qi. It also shows he unconditionally trusts you, so his ridians easily accepted your qi. But, if you overdid it, his ridians would have been broken." She explained.
Fei Lin's face reddened when You Rou ntioned about Xi Ling's ridians being familiar with his qi. The two of them being cultivation partners isn't a secret. But, his face imdiately paled when You Rou said Xi Ling's ridians almost broke. Fortunately, he was exhausted and his qi depleted. Or else, he really would have almost killed Xi Ling…
He imdiately hugged Xi Ling. He excused themselves to the others before he carried Xi Ling back to their room. Finally, only Qian Tian, Lei Ling and You Rou are left.
You Rou turned to Qian Tian before she frowned. She reached her hand out, indicating for them to give her the bandages and the dicine. Qian Tian obediently gave them to her. "Open your clothes." She told Qian Tian.
Lei Ling's face imdiately flushed. "You-shii…" he called. "You are familiar with sect leader Qian?" he asked.
Qian Tian didn't answer since it wasn't him being asked, and that he is conserving his strength.
"How can I not?" You Rou asked. "He is a patient." She answered.
"But…" Lei Ling felt there's sothing wrong.
"Lei-shixiong, can I ask you to fetch so water? I have to clean sect leader Qian's wound." You Rou said.
"Oh! Okay!" Lei Ling answered and imdiately left.
As soon as Lei Ling left, Qian Tian laughed. "Your fifth shixiong is so gullible." He told You Rou.
"Sect leader Qian, please stay still." You Rou said, her voice cold.
Qian Tian looked at her. "Are you still mad I stole so of your dicines?" he asked.
You Rou didn't answer.
"I am a respectable person. I was forrly an elder of my sect, but because tragedy befell my sect, I was forced to inherit my father's position." Qian Tian said. "But, regardless of my position, I am an upright person. Even if I am losing a limb or two, I would still fight." He explained.
You Rou didn't speak and took out a bamboo tube from her qiankun sleeve before she opened it and poured the water on Qian Tian's wound on his abdon, cleaning it. "I'm not mad that you stole the dicines. You only want to hasten your recovery." She said as she bandaged Qian Tian's wound. "What I am mad about is because you don't trust ." She told him.
Qian Tian looked at her.
You Rou tied the bandage before she raised her head and looked at Qian Tian. "I am Cheng-shixiong's apprentice, and I am diligent in my studies. I engrave in my heart everything Cheng-shixiong taught , so I can clearly see my patients' condition, and foresee what will happen to them if they would aggravate their wounds." She said. "I repeatedly told you that. I don't require you to admire my skills or ask request for you to respect . I only ask for you to trust my skills." She explained. "Yet, you didn't. Not only did you not trust , but you even stole my dicines. You lied to everyone and went to the battle with your internal injuries not fully healed. If you have died, then that's fine. It's your own fault. However, what if the others entrusted themselves to you for you to protect them, but you failed them after you aggravate your wounds and collapsed? You could have endangered everyone!" her voice raised after she vented her frustrations.
Qian Lin, Lei Qing and Lei Qing returned and heard what she said. They all stared at her, dumbstruck. Then, they looked at Qian Tian whose head is lowered. Remorse could be seen on his face.
"I don't care about your pride. All I ask is for you to use it at the right place and on the right ti!" You Rou continued, completely oblivious of the three pairs of eyes watching them. "I've never had a patient as obstinate as you. Well, I am obstinate, too!" she said as she lifted her chin. Her attitude as the young lady of a wealthy family can be seen. "If you do this again, then don't co back to make treat you. You treat yourself! You're on your own!" she told him before she marched back to the cabin.
Qian Lin, Lei Qing and Lei Ling who hid looked at each other.
"Co out." Qian Tian called. He has noticed them as soon as they returned.
"Brother…" Qian Lin called. Lei Qing and Lei Ling followed behind him.
"I'm fine. She has already treated my wound." Qian Tian said, then paused. He wore a helpless expression on his face. "Was she always like that?" he asked as he looked at Lei Qing and Lei Ling.
Lei Qing and Lei Ling looked at each other. "No." Lei Qing answered. "In fact, our shii is a restrained young lady. Although she ca from a wealthy family and could have lived the rest of her life freely under her parents' wings, or marry a wealthy young man and beco a housewife, but she chose to beco a cultivator." She said. "She is a humble young woman." She told him.
Qian Tian understood. Actually, he could also see that You Rou, although pampered, but she is modest. She never complained even though their journey is long and rough. She also didn't cower every ti they were attacked. Although she didn't fight, but she never showed fear nor panicked.
