Chapter 292: Healer, Meet Healer

Fu Haitao and Han Qin circled down to Huis side. When the shuttle was about five meters above the ground, Han Qin hopped off and ran to Huis side, concern flashing in his eyes. Frowning slightly, he knelt beside Hui and glanced over him, quickly assessing his injuries, then reached out and felt his pulse.

Hui carefully suppressed his cultivation to the utmost, allowing not a single fluctuation to escape. Controlling his breathing and mental energy, he lowered himself to a state of near-unconsciousness. Han Qins qi swept through him, searching his body for any internal injuries. Hui didnt resist, nor show any sign he realized what Han Qin was doing, but simply laid there lifelessly, as if he really was unconscious.

Fu Haitao hovered over Han Qins shoulder, watching him. He isnt dead, is he?

Aunty Wen jolted.

No, no. Hes alive, Han Qin replied quickly.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Of course I am. If I didnt want you to think I was alive, you wouldnt! Hui thought, resisting the urge to click his tongue at Han Qin.

Bored, Fu Haitao settled back on his heels and crossed his arms. He glanced at Hui, then turned away, exuding disinterest with every pore of his body. Closer up, he looked younger than he had at a distance, maybe seventeen years old in appearance.

Learned Sir how is it? Is he badly hurt? Aunty Wen asked, hovering at Han Qins shoulder.

Han Qin retracted his qi and made a few quick hand signs, then pressed a hand to Huis shoulder. A glowing spell array appeared around Huis arm, and the wound closed shut. Hes injured, but not badly. He should wake up in a few hours, perhaps a bit lightheaded but none the worse for wear.

Thank you. Were so fortunate you were here. I dont know what I would have done if Enlightened Sir hadnt been here, Aunty Wen fretted, her brows furrowed with concern as she looked at Hui.

Smiling warmly, Han Qin gave her a reassuring nod. Luckily, I was passing by. He should be fine now.

Hui regarded Han Qin with distrust from where he laid sprawled on the ground. Superficially closing the wound while leaving the sword qi trapped inside? What kind of physician are you? Coming upon a wounded mortal like me, you somehow made it worse! The second the poorly educated physician turned away, Hui drew out a tiny bit of death qi and destroyed the remnant sword qi in his shoulder with it, before the sword qi bounced around too much and undid the healing spell.

If youre sure, Aunty Wen said, giving him a look. She turned back toward the manor and sighed. I wonder if Fu Liyu will still need you, now that Han Qins back.

Hmm, I wonder, Hui said noncommittally. He couldnt solve it! He failed to notice the sword qi in my shoulder, theres no way hed notice the subtle spell hidden inside Fu Liyu. Even I nearly overlooked it, and Im a thousand times more observant than him. No, shell still need me if she really wants that spell gone.

Though that Han Qin. How good of a doctor is he, if he cant even notice such obvious sword qi?

He reached to his neck to stroke Zhubi, only for his hand to come empty. Hui closed his hand and dropped it to his side, disappointed. Zhubi is he still guarding my first clone? I suppose he needs to settle his cultivation, now that hes advanced a stage still, I wish he was here with me. My neck feels cold without him.

No, no. Im blending in right now. If I had Zhubi, Id stand out.

It doesnt mean I dont want him along, though, Hui muttered under his breath.

Hmm? Aunty Wen asked, glancing at him.

Nothing, nothing, Hui replied quickly.

She nodded, then pushed back the door to show him the inside of the hut. A dirt-floor space with four walls and not much else greeted him. Aunty Wen nodded inside. Its not much, but its a roof over your head. For today, rest. Ill fetch you a duvet so you dont get cold. Tomorrow, we can go to the manor and find a cot, maybe a table and chair if theres any lying about in the servants quarters.

Hui bowed. Thank you.

Nonsense, nonsense. Its my duty, Aunty Wen replied, quickly lifting him from the bow. She pushed him into the hut. Lie down, rest. Youll need rest after a wound like that!

Hui nodded and gave in, lying on the dirt floor. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but secretly meditated. Tomorrow, Ill go into the manor and use the excuse of conferring with Han Qin to figure out whats going on with the Fu family. Right now, I know too little to comprehend the situation! I need to fix that if Im going to resolve Fu Liyus issue!
