"Okay!" Zhu Xueling responded, sat cross-legged beside Qiu Shui, and began to make seals with her hands in front of her chest.

"What are you going to do?" The Zhu family patriarch was horrified upon seeing this. He shouted angrily and flew towards Zhu Xueling. However, before he could touch Zhu Xueling, he saw that Zhu Xueling had already placed her hand, which was glowing blue, on Qiu Shui's body. At the same time, a mist-like barrier formed around Zhu Xueling and Qiu Shui.

The head of the Zhu family was stunned for a moment and stood in front of Zhu Xueling for a long time without being able to recover.

Once the forbidden technique is activated, it must not be stopped halfway, otherwise Zhu Xueling will die from broken tendons and veins.

Watching the blue spiritual energy from Zhu Xueling's body continuously entering the corpse, the Zhu family head turned his head, staring at Zhixun with bloodshot eyes, and said viciously: "If anything happens to the young lady, I will bury your whole family with her!"

"The whole family? Haha!" Qiu Shui, who was standing next to Mrs. Wei, suddenly laughed bitterly. "When I was captured, my father was killed by those retainers in an attempt to protect me. I'm the only one in our family, so how can there be a whole family?"

Looking at Qiu Shui, whose eyes were red from crying, Mrs. Wei felt sorry for her. After all, what had she done wrong? Yet, she had endured the most pain, both physically and mentally.

Zhixun remained silent, staring at the corpse on the ground with a tense expression. He watched as Qiushui's body slowly became enveloped by a pale blue spiritual energy, and the charred skin on his face gradually returned to its original fair and rosy complexion. A moment later, Qiushui had fully recovered, looking as if he were truly asleep, not at all like he had been burned.

Zhixun's eyes instantly became moist. He looked at Qiu Shui, who had recovered as before, with excitement and was speechless.

Seeing Zhu Xueling put away the water mist barrier, he hurried forward to check on Qiu Shui, but heard a "puff" sound behind him. He turned around and saw Zhu Xueling spitting out a mouthful of blood from her mouth.

"Ling'er!" The head of the Zhu family hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhu Xueling, stuffed a pill into Zhu Xueling's mouth, sat cross-legged behind Zhu Xueling, and began to transfer spiritual power to Zhu Xueling.

Zhixun didn't pay much attention to Zhu Xueling, but turned back to look at Qiu Shui. To Zhixun's disappointment, Qiu Shui did not wake up, but still lay motionless, not even breathing.

Zhixun wanted to ask Zhu Xueling what happened, but Zhu Xueling's current condition made it difficult to ask. He could only wait patiently for the head of the Zhu family to cure Zhu Xueling.

Finally, the head of the Zhu family withdrew his hand, but his frown did not relax. When he looked up and saw Zhixun, his eyes were full of anger, and he wished his eyes could spit fire and burn Zhixun to death.

"Qiu Shui... Why hasn't Qiu Shui woken up yet!" Zhixun ignored the murderous look of the Zhu family head and asked directly.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhu Xueling's eyes.

"You ungrateful guy!" The head of the Zhu family stretched out his hand and strangled Zhixun's neck. He looked so ferocious as if he was going to break Zhixun's neck in the next second.

"Daddy, don't!" Zhu Xueling rushed over and used her remaining strength to tightly hug the Zhu family head's arm. She said weakly, "Don't kill him, Daddy, please, don't kill him!"

The Zhu family patriarch finally let go of his hand and said bitterly, "It's not worth it. This man doesn't deserve you to treat him this well! You silly child!"

Zhu Xueling smiled palely and said, "Dad, I know you're doing this for my own good, but..." Zhu Xueling looked at Zhixun with eyes as bright as stars and continued, "But, if it weren't for Qiu Shui and Zhixun, how could I ever get better?"
