Chapter 40: Cure General Li

Lu Chi, dressed in luxurious attire, unsurprisingly attracted the attention of the guests outside the Li family.

Lu Chi felt several unfriendly gazes in the dark, so he moved his body to shield Qiao Ye.

A noble lady came over and said, "I heard that today is Second Young Master Lu's birthday. Why is Second Young Master Lu not at the birthday party and is he here?"

Lu Chi responded with a cold look in his eyes, "You're joking. How can my birthday be more important than General Li's safety?"

"Indeed, General Li's safety is very important." The woman feigned grief.

Another young man came over.

"Second Young Master Lu, do you still remember me? I am the youngest son of the Wang family."

Lu Chi: I don’t remember.

Lu Chi: "Hello."

The young man asked, "Who is this person next to you?"

Lu Chi raised his eyebrows: "He is a sentry of the Third Army."

The young man asked, "Why did she fall asleep as soon as she got here? Even your grandson, the general, didn't sleep, so how could a simple sentry like her sleep?"

Lu Chi tapped his fingers lightly, trying to judge the intention of the person in front of him.

Lu Chi always felt that there were many people here with unclear purposes.

After all, even within the empire, there are inevitably spies from the Alliance or secret sentinels disguised as members of the empire.

Lu Chi asked, "She worked on a mission all night last night. Does she need to explain to you that she took a short nap now? Does she need to explain in detail what mission she was doing last night?"

The man surnamed Wang quickly said, "That's not necessary."

Some people wanted to come forward and talk to Lu Chi, but Lu Chi put on a cold face that said "no strangers allowed", so cold that it was a little scary.

…

General Li's spiritual sea was a vast expanse of sky. But this sky was practically crumbling. Beneath this sky, a large tree held a severely wounded, near-death falcon.

There is not much space to stand in General Li’s spiritual sea, so when Qiao Ye arrived here, he went straight to this tree.

A small hedgehog appeared in front of Qiao Ye. It was the hedgehog that had appeared in Qiao Xiu's spiritual sea.

"It's you today." Qiao Ye greeted his mental image.

The hedgehog stood up happily and chirped twice to Qiao Ye.

The hedgehog jumped quickly onto the tree, and where it jumped, the tree sprouted new branches.

Qiao Ye climbed the tree with great effort, and finally, he and the hedgehog arrived in front of the poor falcon.

"It's very sick."

Hedgehog: "Chirp."

"Let's comb him."

Qiao Ye still chose the most serious injury to sort out. With previous experience, Qiao Ye felt that he was becoming more and more adept at sorting out his mental picture.

Soon, the falcon's most serious injuries were healed.

Qiao Ye wiped the sweat off her face and saw the gray falcon in front of her stand up, looking at her with sharp eyes, flapping its wings, and then lowering its noble head.

Qiao Ye said, "I've cured you. We're leaving now. Be careful next time and don't let yourself get hurt this badly again."

The falcon didn't know whether it understood or not, it blinked at her.

Qiao Ye and the little hedgehog left together.

…

At the Li family, after Li Hai's mental strength was sorted out, his mental sea felt more comfortable than ever before.

He was very sleepy, but subconsciously he knew that there were so many people waiting for him, especially his wife who still cared about him.

He struggled to open his eyes.

"General, General!" Mrs. Li shouted anxiously.

General Li and Qiao Xiu made eye contact, and he nodded deeply at Qiao Xiu.

Qiao Xiu also nodded.

General Li comforted the general's wife, "I'm fine. I just took a nap. I seem to be much better now. I feel very comfortable and want to sleep again."

The general's wife said anxiously, "Hurry up, show it to the general!"

"Could it be a terminal bout of illness?" A doctor came closer to examine him, and finding something wrong, he checked again and again, then said, "The general is fine. His frenzy is under control. It's only 72% now!"

Shang Aoxiang didn't believe it. She ran over to check General Li and then murmured, "How is this possible? How is this possible?" He healed himself?

The Li family immediately surrounded Shang Aoxiang.

"Guide Shang, I knew you could do it!"

"Yes, Guide Shang, thank you for saving my general!"

"We, the First Army, are grateful to you, very grateful to you!"

Shang Aoxiang really wanted to say "It's not me".

But, besides her, the SS guide, who else is there around here?

Did General Li heal himself just like that? Is he exactly like Lu Chi back then?

The general's wife said earnestly to Shang Aoxiang, "Guide Shang, you saved my general. From now on, my Li family owes you a favor."

Shang Aoxiang immediately swallowed back what she wanted to say. She really couldn't bear to push away the feeling of being the center of attention.

"It doesn't matter, it's what I should do," she said.

…

Qiao Ye suddenly opened his eyes.

Lu Chi was icy cold all over, but the moment she opened her eyes, the coldness suddenly disappeared.

He lowered his head, his eyes full of concern: "Qiao Qiao, how are you now?"

Qiao Ye propped himself up and sat up: "I'm fine. General Li has been rescued. Let's go."

"good."

The door of the Li family opened, and Butler Li announced that General Li had been cured by the SS-level guide Shang Aoxiang.

The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone was scrambling to get in to see what was going on.

In this chaotic moment, Qiao Ye and Lu Chi left first and got into Qiao Xiu's car.

Not long after, Qiao Xiu came back.

The two looked at Qiao Xiu, who nodded. "General Li is fine now. His mental frenzy has dropped by 20 points. He was very surprised. I gave him a hint, but he knew better than to ask."

Qiao Ye nodded. She looked a little tired.

Qiao Xiu asked with concern: "Ye Qiao, how do you feel?"

Qiao Ye replied, "There were a lot of people there just now, and the atmosphere was a bit chaotic and mixed. When my mental strength returned, I felt like it was disturbed by an SS-level sentry."

Lu Chi and Qiao Xiu suddenly became nervous.

Lu Chi looked at her anxiously: "How are you?"

Facing the boy's concerned eyes, Qiao Ye slowly shook his head and said, "I'm fine. The interference didn't affect me at all. I'm just a little sleepy."

Qiao Xiu was thinking more. "The Li family is swarming with people inside and outside. These guests come to the Li family under various pretexts. There's no guarantee there aren't any spies from the Alliance or the Dark Clan."

Qiao Xiu's eyes grew darker and darker. He always felt that perhaps he shouldn't let Qiao Ye take action this time.

Qiao Ye said: "I'm really fine, I just feel that my mental energy is a little active, I want to take a nap."

Qiao Ye felt that what happened was not a bad thing. His mental strength was so active that maybe it would increase a little after a good night's sleep.

It's hard to say how much it has increased. After all, she hasn't measured it.

Qiao Xiu said, "Ye Qiao, you take a rest. I'll drive slower."

Qiao Ye closed his eyes and fell asleep as the car swayed.

Her body leaned on Lu Chi's shoulder. Lu Chi smelled the unique fragrance on her body and adjusted his posture slightly so that her head rested on his broad shoulder.

He didn't mean to smell it, but his nose was filled with the fragrance of her hair.
