C56

The Aunt Zhang didn't ask any further. She stood up, took an ice pack and put it on my swollen wrist, then made me lie down on the sofa to massage the side of my legs where I had been kicked.

In the silence of the room, I went over the events of the night in my mind.

I wondered if the people following me had anything to do with those five or six men.

Are those guys really thugs or were they ordered by someone else?

Those men want my life, are they planning or are they just trying to kill me on the spur of the moment?

Who was my savior? Was she trying to save me out of righteousness or something?

The Aunt Zhang only stopped massaging until the swelling on my wrist subsided, and told me to go back to my room to rest. She said that she would find out the identities of the men as soon as possible.

I nodded and got up from the sofa and went back to my room to rest. I woke up without even waiting for the alarm clock to ring.

Rising from the bed to relieve my muscles and bones, I found that the pain in the crook of my legs where I had been kicked was no longer there, and my palms still ached slightly.

Looking in the mirror, I saw that the skin on my right cheek had scabbed over.

I went to wash up and eat breakfast. Aunt Zhang asked me if I wanted to take a leave of absence from home to rest.

After I shook my head, Aunt Zhang removed the bandages on my hands and helped me bandage them again.

I thanked Aunt Zhang with a pen and paper. Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you."

As I headed towards the school, I spotted the missing person, Qi Xiaohan, standing on the first floor of the school building.

After seeing me, Qi Xiaohan rushed to my side from the first floor of the school building, and under the sun, he asked me why I was injured.

I didn't stop, and glanced at the ghost qi on my body that was quickly dissipating. I then retracted my gaze.

After Qi Xiaohan followed me to the first floor of the school, I wrote down a reply to his question, saying that I accidentally fell and got hurt.

"Be good and tell me the truth." Qi Xiaohan frowned at me, and I met his gaze with a cold stare.

"Does it still hurt?" After they looked at each other for about a minute, Wei Xiao Han shook her head helplessly and asked me softly as she pressed a finger against the scab on my cheek.

With a blank face, I asked him if he had anything else to say.

Wei Xiao Han's finger stopped pressing down on the scab on my cheek, then he slowly withdrew his finger and said to me in a low voice that he had been busy with private matters for the past two days, so he didn't appear.

I nodded and asked him if he had anything else.

Wei Xiao Han looked at me without saying anything else. His eyes were filled with affection and didn't contain much emotion.

Under Qi Xiaoshan's gaze, my eyes suddenly stung, and I blinked rapidly as I headed towards the classroom.

Wei Xiaowan followed me into the classroom and stayed by my side after I took my seat.

The morning sun shone through the window into the classroom, and I was in the perfect position for it.

Seeing Qi Xiaoxian stubbornly staying by my side, with the ghost qi on her body quickly dissipating without any intention of leaving, an indescribable feeling arose in my heart.

I wrote to Qi Xiaohan, saying that if he were to lose his soul in the sunlight, I would be in for a bit of trouble.

With a smile on his face and a mischievous voice, he left the classroom.

As the students filed into the classroom, no one asked me where the injury on my face came from except the class monitor.

I didn't feel too much about it.

After school, I used my cell phone to send a message to a roommate. The matter of picking up underworld money had been resolved, and I could throw away the scented sachet. That roommate replied with a word of thanks.

When I got home, Aunt Zhang told me that someone had sunk into the pool of water in the men who surrounded me last night.

The body had already been salvaged by the public security department, but they had not found any useful clues yet. The case was still under further investigation.

Pure Lady Sect had already intervened, and he believed that he would be able to find a useful clue very soon.

I nodded. After lunch, I would go to my room to learn the Tao technique that Qi Xiaohan had taught me before.

I've already let this teacher go for a long time, I'm just wasting my time.

In the afternoon I went to school, and when I got to the school gate, I felt as if continuing the lesson had become meaningless to me.

I sent a message to the coach of the Sanda class, telling him that I was going to change to the full day class, and that I would return to class tomorrow.

After the coach replied that it was okay, I went home and asked Aunt Zhang to request a month's leave of absence for me.

Aunt Zhang asked me for the reason, and I told her with pen and paper that I wanted to stay healthy for a month.

Aunt Zhang did not say much as she helped me ask for a month's leave of absence from the instructor.

For the next month, I practiced kickboxing during the day and Taekwondo during the night.

I eat breakfast at home every morning, and I don't come home until I finish my Taekwondo classes at night.

Every night, after finishing my Taekwondo training, I would meet with Qi Xiaohan, who would teach me new Tao techniques on the way back.

I will use my free time after lunch and dinner to learn the Tao technique that Qi Xiaohan taught me.

When I get home in the evening and wash up, I will meditate for a while as long as I am still in my spirit.

I'm as tired as a dead dog every day, and I'm improving every day.

The class monitor and his three roommates all sent a message asking me why I didn't go to class. I deleted the message after reading it and didn't reply to any of them.

After I didn't reply, my three roommates didn't send me any more messages. The class monitor would send them another message every day.

Ruan Tianye continued to fail to reappear, and his Pure Lady Sect failed to find any useful clues regarding the grave case.

I'm not sure if Aunt Zhang told him about my situation, but he still didn't get any phone calls to contact me.

The end of the month just happened to be a weekend, I woke up in the morning, and found that the sky did not know when a light snow had come.

The Aunt Zhang wanted to speak for a long time during breakfast, but she stopped herself for a long time. Finally, she told me that she had some private matters to attend to and that she needed to leave for a few days.

Because it was a private matter, she couldn't tell Aunt Tao about it.

After hearing Aunt Zhang's words, I told her with pen and paper that she would just go and busy herself with it.

Aunt Zhang's eyes showed gratitude as she told me that she would be back soon. She repeatedly reminded me that I must take care of myself when she wasn't at home.

After breakfast, the Aunt Zhang also left. I stayed at home and started to follow the methods that Qi Xiahan had taught me, meditating to cultivate the inner pill.

No one disturbed me, so I abandoned all distractions and focused on meditating to cultivate the inner pill.

After cultivating for an unknown amount of time, I finally understood what Wei Xiahan said. Cultivating the inner pill would allow my body and mind to be refreshed.

This situation made my heart jump in joy. I only opened my eyes after cultivating for a while.

Seeing that the sky was already dark, I thought I had trained for an entire day.

After checking the time on my cell phone, I realized that it was already 7 PM on the second day.

Only then did I feel hungry. I quickly got off the bed and left home with my backpack on my back, ready to go to a restaurant.

When I met Qi Xiaoxian downstairs, I immediately told him about my progress in training the inner pill.

Qi Xiaohan first praised me for being a genius in the Dao, saying that my disciple had given him, a teacher, face. He then said that I was being too long-winded, that I should eat on time no matter what.

My pen told Qi Xiaoxian to be quiet, and she brushed the snow off my hair, keeping a quiet smile on her face.

Looking at the resplendent smile on Qi Xiaofan's face, I was stunned.

I don't even know when it started, but I was already able to hide my emotions from the face of Qi Xiaohan, and from the bottom of my heart, I treated him as a harmless existence.

After dinner, I brought Qi Xiaohan home. If Aunt Zhang wasn't home, I could stay up all night to learn Taoism from Qi Xiaohan.

"I need to enter my room before I can preach." I asked Qi Xiaoxian to teach me Taoism in the living room. Qi Xiaohan, who was wandering around in the living room, lifted his chin proudly.

I rolled my eyes at Qi Xiaoshan, removed the incantation on my door, and let Qi Xiaoshan into my room.

The air conditioner in the living room was not working properly, so it was a little cold to stay in the living room all night.

Following that, I started to carefully write some notes as Qi Xiaoxian lowered her voice and earnestly taught me Dao Arts.

My night vision ability is extremely strong, and I have yet to turn on the lights since Qi Xiahan is a ghost.

Around one in the morning, Qi said that the mission was suspended for half an hour, allowing me to take a break. I wrote that I was not tired.

"If Master wants you to rest, then rest. Only by listening to Master's words will there be meat for you to eat." Wei Xiao Han raised his eyebrows before lying down on my bed and crossing his legs.

I got up from my seat and soothed my muscles. I went to the window and opened it to look at the snow.

Just as I opened the curtains a crack, I saw that Ruan Tianye had appeared out of nowhere. He was floating in the air, frowning and thinking about something.

The level of his ghost had increased by another level.
