Chapter 238 - Not a Strong One

Soon, he got to the stairs. He started to hear the sutra the deeper he went. Moreover, he was also wary of Song Qixi suddenly jumping out of nowhere again. However, it didn't help that… the sutra was causing something to burn inside Liu Xiaodan. He retreated and summoned the lamp.

"God Raven, hide somewhere near the Rooms Hall. I'll go alone." Liu Xiaodan provided a path, and God Raven only stared at him before going. There was no need to stay if someone wanted to die. God Raven would just wait for Liu Xiaodan to return to the Rooms Hall. The bird vanished into the portal, and Liu Xiaodan kept the lamp. He then looked down at the steps. "Guangru, I'm coming."

…

"Ah, it's here..." Li Feng didn't want to sit around without doing anything. He took a look outside the room and tried to find the black teddy bear. He actually did, and so that a man wrapped in bandages was on the bed. Li Feng only stared at the scene, his knees suddenly shaking at the thought of that man being Ruan Jin.

Didn't Fan Meiling say Song Qixi tampered with Ruan Jin's body? Though he had no idea what Song Qixi did, Li Feng couldn't help but imagine what it could have been… if that really was Ruan Jin. How could Liu Xiaodan keep his composure after seeing his best friend like this?

The door actually opened, and Li Feng walked in. He stopped next to the man on the bed and kneeled down to reach out to the man's head. Even if it wasn't that good of a choice, he began to unwrap the bandages on Ruan Jin's head. He wanted to know what he enabled Ruan Jin to become.

Hair began to show under the loosened bandage, and it was strange. Why would they bound Ruan Jin's head if he wasn't injured right there? Even his face didn't have any traces of anything. Could it be that Guangru had already healed this brother? Well, that… Li Feng chuckled in relief. That was good.

Li Feng then looked at the bandages running inside the shirt. Since Guangru had healed him, then Li Feng shouldn't be wary of what had happened. Then again, he was still guilty for putting Ruan Jin in that situation. He then laid his hand flat on Ruan Jin's c.h.e.s.t as if feeling the other man's breathing. It was normal, it was good.

"You scared me for a second..." Li Feng used his other hand to lean his face against the palm.

"You… scared me… asshole, don't touch me..."

Li Feng lifted his face and saw Ruan Jin looking down at him. When their eyes met, the former actually wanted to flash a big smile out of relief. However, he remembered that every time he did that for his other friends, they would shudder and even push his face away. That was why he didn't know how to react, and it got so awkward that they were just staring at each other.

Actually, Ruan Jin wanted to cry. He was so scared when he woke up in this place, and seeing Liu Xiaodan was already a good thing. Now that he also saw another person he knew, he wanted to cry again. However, they weren't close. It would look strange if he suddenly cried at Li Feng—if it was Wen Taio or Xu Disung, they would even assure the other like he was some baby.

"...ehem." Li Feng broke their eye contact and just reached out to pat Ruan Jin's head. "It's okay, it's okay. There are some more survivors in another room. You're not alone here. I should go check up on them again..."

"..." Ruan Jin narrowed his eyes as he tried to move his fingers. 'Asshole, don't leave...'

The door closed on its own, and Li Feng twitched. He then turned to the black teddy bear, and he heard an old man's voice in his head: "Those humans are all strangers to you and yet familiar to the rest. No harm will come to them. Stay here, Xiao Feng."

Li Feng blinked. Right, this was a guardian of lost children. It could probably sense fear now that Ruan Jin didn't even seem to be moving at all. He turned to Ruan Jin again, and since Qiao Shan had left with Liu Xiaodan, he had no one to speak with aside from Mian Qingtao who was still knocked out. Well, if the guardian insisted…

The man walked back to bed and sat at the head, leaning at the headboard. He removed his rather bloodied slippers and raised his legs onto the bed, just next to Ruan Jin. The other occupant then forced his arm to move as if in an attempt to hold another human. His hand rested on the bridge of Li Feng's foot, and it was rather warm compared to Liu Xiaodan's freezing hand.

Another person was there, and Ruan Jin started to doze off again. Perhaps it was the warmth coming from the leg against his arm that made it easier to sleep.

"…he's actually… not a strong one…" Li Feng stared at the man and lowered his eyes after. He actually thought that Ruan Jin was so brave to be doing the things that he did. However, now that they were in such a situation, the other horseman was showing his weaker side. That made Li Feng wonder why the Weeper had never shown up even once. She should be around and trying to pick a fight with him, yes?

"The ghost inside him was severed from him. Right now, she couldn't find her way back home." Old Xiong spoke again, and that shocked Li Feng. The Weeper was f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y severed from a host without killing him, and she couldn't even return to him?

"Then, where is she?" Li Feng asked, reaching out to stroke at the poor guy's head.

"I cannot sense her presence…" Old Xiong hummed in sadness as well. Not even Guangru could find the servant. Whatever they had done to Ye Ling, he figured Guangru would return it to them ten-fold. That is… if they could bring her back.

…

An angry hum came from the other end of the phone. Qiao Muwei had just threatened Li Heilong earlier, and he suddenly found out that the tycoon was already destroying his Cherry Medical. The Qiao Family Head was furious. However, it was not like contingencies were not in place. There was nothing that could stop the Qiao family from destabilizing the standings in this so-called modern society.

He then spoke, "Alright. I will send them there. Just make sure that you could get my daughter out before they come. Also that Li Feng boy."

"Li Feng? Isn't that Li Heilong's son?" Wu Zhong knew about Li Feng, but for him to be asked to be spared by the Qiao family? He then realized something. "Wait, sorry. Thoughts went past my head for a second."

"I'm expecting you to deliver them to me as soon as possible. You have four hours."
