The Su family is elegant and quiet, the mansion is more small buildings and pavilions, through the layers of white wall arches, there are stone bridges and flowing water in the courtyard, the spring in early spring flows unhurriedly under the stone bridge, the cold moon is gone, and the grass and trees have new branches.

Qiong Yi and the others were taken to a remote wooden building, and they smelled the fragrance of herbs from a distance outside the building. The old man ordered his disciples to place the three of them and summoned the doctor to heal them. Sheng Xuan replied resentfully: "Thank you, senior." Sitting cross-legged and stretching out his hand to let the healer take his pulse, the old man looked at the three of them: "I already know your origins, and you will stay here until you are healed, and you must not move around." After that, he instructed a few doctors and left the courtyard.

The female doctor who treated Qiong Yi's wounds pushed her into the inner room, took off her clothes full of blood to explore the wound, only to see that the outer ring of the blood hole in the abdomen was burned skin, and new red and white polyps turned out under the scab, and couldn't help but say: "...... So deep. ”

Qiong also lay on the wooden bed, a little uneasy: "Sister doctor, will there be a scar?" The female doctor comforted and said, "If you apply the medicine, you won't move, I'll connect your leg bones for you." ”

"Okay." Joan also nodded, and the next moment of sharp pain made her almost bow to her feet, "Ah! ————”

"Joan Yi!" Sheng Xuanyan heard her screams in the outer room, her body moved, and she was pressed by the doctor behind her to sit down on the acupoint: "I'm injured like this and still cares about others, what can she do with healing inside!" Sheng Xuan only felt that his legs were numb, his whole body was paralyzed, he lost his strength and fell on the wooden bed, cold sweat broke out behind his back, and his consciousness gradually blurred. I heard the doctor say to the two disciples beside him: "Go and boil water to prepare a medicinal bath, this kid is the most seriously injured, not only his heart and lungs are damaged, but his meridians are also broken in half, and if he is not treated, he is afraid that he will fall into sequelae." ”

"Yes." The two disciples came out of the house in response to the sound and boiled water in the miscellaneous room on the side of the courtyard.

Yan Ting's deep injuries were not serious, only his right arm was broken, he was simply treated by himself last night, and now he has taken some medicine and fixed it with a splint. He asked the doctor about Sheng Xuan's grievances: "Doctor, he ...... Nothing will happen, right? ”

"No, he's dead." The doctor looked at Sheng Xuan, who had passed out in a coma, and there was an extremely clear blood-colored palm print on his chest, "This palm is not slapped in the heart, otherwise it will ......"

Yan Ting saw the palm print and clenched his fists.

"By the way, this kid is the little master of the contemporary Sheng clan, right?" The doctor took out a packet of silver needles from the package, twisted one and pricked it into his flesh. Yan Tingshen nodded in response, "Yes." ”

"It's not easy for you to survive from the hands of the chief disciple of the Qinggui Sect, the two of them have cultivated to a high level and are well-known among the ten sects. Now that the border is turbulent and the rivers and lakes are not stable, we have to be careful in the future. The doctor withdrew his hand, rolled up the remaining silver needle wrap, and put it back in the wooden box.

Joan also recovered from the severe pain, and the female doctor had tied her legs to a bamboo frame and was filling the blood hole in her abdomen. Because of the severe pain, beads of sweat continued to flow down her forehead, and the doctor helped her to get up and wiped off the sweat with a handkerchief, and wrapped white gauze around the wound on her forehead, with gentle and delicate movements.

"Thank you, sister, I'll just wear my own clothes."

"Okay." The female doctor nodded: "You use these plasters first, and I will send the rest if there is not enough." Then he pushed the door open and left.

Qiong also changed her clothes and walked on crutches, limping out of the door, only to see Yan Tingshen sitting by the door: "What about Sheng Xuan?" ”

"Dragged to a medicated bath."

Joan was silent for a while: "He was seriously injured. Recalling last night's bloody battle, he was almost alone in blocking the two of them throughout the whole process, Yan Ting shook his head and sighed: "We dragged him down." ”

"Return to the Gate!" Joan also muttered to herself, "One day, I will ......"

"Let them pay for their blood debts!" Yan Tingshen's tone turned sharply and said coldly.

When Sheng Xuanyan regained consciousness and opened his eyes, the room was already pitch black, he was lying on the wooden couch, and he sat up slightly only to find that his body was sour and numb, and it was no longer so painful. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Qiong Yi, who was sitting on a low stool in a futon, lying on his side and sleeping deeply.

Joan Yi ......

Sheng Xuan lowered his eyes and raised his hand to touch her, but he heard someone in the dark suddenly say: "I persuaded her to go into the inner room to rest, but she said that she had to stay here to wake up." Sheng Xuanyan was frightened, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, and after distinguishing it in the dark night for a long time, he recognized Yan Tingshen sitting at the table: "I will accompany her to guard here." ”

"That's why I shouldn't be here." Yan Ting smiled knowingly, "Since you're awake, I'll go back to the house and sleep." ”

"Hmm." Seeing him turn around and leave, Sheng Xuan complained, "...... Brother Yan, I'm worried about you. ”

"What are the brothers who divide each other?" He replied, "The most important thing is that you are okay when it comes suddenly." I have inquired with the disciples here, Sect Master Su is not in the mansion recently, let's recuperate from his injuries first, and then go to intercede for Su Ye when he returns to the mansion. ”

"Okay."

The wooden door was tightly closed by Yan Ting, and there was no night light.

Sheng Xuanren lifted the quilt and got up to get out of bed, his chest was still aching, but the broken meridians in his body were healed, and the blocked meridians were also dredged, and the true qi gathered from the dantian little by little, which was better than last night. He squatted down and leaned next to Qiong Yi to check her pulse, okay, fortunately, his breath was stable, and he didn't suffer any internal injuries. He thought that although the wounds in his abdomen and legs were severe, they would only take a few months to heal.

"I'm sorry, Joan." He whispered, "Blame me, I caused trouble, and I haven't been able to protect you." ”

If I'm strong enough, this won't happen at all, and I can easily crush those two without getting you hurt in the slightest. Sheng Xuanyan held her hand, his eyes fell on the Chengying Sword placed in the corner of the wall, he began to reprimand his weakness, and his depressed consciousness only stopped in his mind for a moment, and then he threw it out of his mind.

He knew that frustration and self-blame were useless.

Picking up Qiong and putting her on the bed, Qiong was also picked up, half-asleep and half-awake in a daze, reading: "Sheng Xuan......" She grabbed Sheng Xuan's sleeve, and couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep. Sheng Xuanyan took her hand and put it back in the futon, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, thinking that there should be a bed in the inner room, so he took the Chengying Sword and went into the inner room to rest.

*

Joan also woke up and sat up suddenly, he was lying on Sheng Xuan's bed, and he was nowhere to be seen. In a panic, he got out of bed and didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and pushed open the door of the inner room, and he was greeted by his naked upper body—he was getting dressed.

On weekdays, if she saw his body, Joan would definitely avoid suspicion, but now she was full of worry and fear, and she couldn't care about it at all. "Sheng Xuan! You okay! "Yesterday, after seeing him come out of the medicinal bath, the whole person was red, like a ripe prawn, and vomited a lot of black blood in a row, which made her really scared.

"It's fine."

Qiong Yi rushed up and hugged him: "I'm so afraid you'll ......" She chased after the doctor yesterday and asked Sheng Xuan's resentful injury what was going on, and whether anything would happen if she was hit by the thunder light palm, and she was tired of disturbing the doctor, and she would go around her when she came here again.

"Don't be reckless, okay! Don't just say 'it's okay'! I don't want you to swallow any pain in your stomach! ”

"I ......" Sheng Xuanyan pulled up his shirt and hugged her to speak: "I just don't want you to worry." ”

"I know you don't want me to worry, but...... If you keep hiding it from me and fall down in front of me, how will I know if it's true or false, light or heavy, if I say 'it's okay' to you in the future! ”

He smiled helplessly, "Then there is no way." ”

"Those two are coming at me, and it's my fault that they hurt you." Sheng Xuan complained that Qiong Yi didn't wear shoes, so he picked her up and put her on the bed, "Qiong Yi, I figured it out." He said very seriously, "You said that holding a sword is a guard, I never thought of protecting anything sincerely, and now, I want to protect you." ”

Joan was also stunned, "Idiot." She chuckled, "I want to protect you too, how do you think I'm willing to be the one to be protected?" She stood on the bed and hugged Sheng Xuanyan's neck, "In the future, don't just put the burden on your shoulders, you look at me more and look at the friends around you." ”

“…… Well. But when there's danger, you have to stand behind me. ”

"Huh? It's back again, isn't it? ”

"I don't care." Sheng Xuanyan buried his head in her neck socket, "This must listen to me." ”

"Don't."

"You have to, remember you promised me two things?" He said: "You said that I can mention anything, we also pulled the hook on Nanshan, and now I want to promise one." ”

Sheng Xuan complained: "In the future, if there is any danger, you have to stand behind me." ”

Qiong was also stunned, dumbfounded for a long time, and rubbed his head: "Okay, talk counts, stand behind you, I stand behind you." ”

"I'm going to get stronger." Sheng Xuan felt the softness in front of him and muttered to himself.

"You will." As for him to become a first-class powerhouse in the cultivation realm, Qiong never doubted.

Sheng Xuanyan let go of the hand that was wrapped around her waist: "Hurry up and cultivate, after a serious injury, the luck condensation will go deeper than usual, and there will be more room for growth." When your wounds are healed, we will work together to develop a way to release your true qi. ”

"Hmm."

In the days that followed, all three of them recuperated in this small courtyard. Su Shi was meticulous in arranging their living and treatment of injuries, but whenever they proposed to leave the courtyard, they were refused, which was tantamount to placing them under house arrest in disguise.

"The ancestor has ordered, and you can't be let out yet." The daily rhetoric of the disciples guarding the entrance of the courtyard is the same.

"Then when will we be let go?" Joan also leaned on crutches and asked.

"I don't know, I'm just a janitor. The ancestors did not say a clear date. The disciple paused, "Girl, please rest assured, the master over there at Qingfeng Academy already knows the situation of the three of them, and there will be no problem staying in Jiaxi for a long time." ”

"The girl should heal the leg injury first, and let the others go in advance."

Joan couldn't ask anything, so she had to slowly move back into the house and spend her days practicing. The three of them discussed for a long time, and the disciples who guarded the entrance of the courtyard every day couldn't get any useful information, and the doctor deliberately hid it from them, this place was more like an empty courtyard that had been temporarily cleaned up than the medical hall in the Su family's mansion, Yan Tingshen guessed that the old man had specially detained them here, separated from Su Ye.
