Lu Ming sent people from the intelligence agency to investigate what had happened, and the news naturally reached Shen Xi's ears.
Shen Xi immediately recalled the men he had sent out and rushed back to Phoenix Pavilion with Mai Zizi.
Su Jinxia also regained consciousness after being in a coma for three days.
She lay there for three days, her body stiff and in excruciating pain.
Lu Ming gently stroked her arm and said, "Don't rush, take it slow. Move your hands and feet first, then try to get up."
Su Jinxia wasn't in a hurry. As long as she returned to Phoenix Pavilion and Lu Ming was by her side, her injuries would eventually heal.
"How many days have I been asleep? Is there any news about Mai Zizi?" she asked.
Lu Ming replied, "You've been asleep for three days. I've already contacted them. Mai Zizi was rescued by Shen Xi and is on her way back."
Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief; that was good.
Lu Ming was furious that Su Jinxia didn't care about his injuries at all, so he couldn't help but tighten his grip and said angrily, "Do you know how badly you're injured!"
Su Jin felt a burning sensation on her back and asked worriedly, "Do I look even uglier now?"
“It’s over five inches long and has been sewn twice. Do you think it looks ugly?” Lu Ming said coldly.
Su Jin lowered her eyes and rested her head on the pillow, clearly in a bad mood.
Seeing her so heartbroken, Lu Ming felt extremely distressed and added, "If you listen to me and take good care of yourself for two years, with daily medicinal baths and poultices, you might be able to restore your original skin."
"Two years? That's too long. Master, you can't keep anything from me, considering how miserable I am," Su Jin said resentfully.
Lu Ming poked Su Jinxia's head, "You little ungrateful thing, I would give you my heart and soul, and you still say I'm keeping things to myself."
Su Jin smiled ingratiatingly, her small face upturned. "Disciple was wrong. However, this time when I was injured, I encountered someone even more powerful than you."
Lu Ming glanced at Su Jin's back, his eyes filled with an inscrutable expression. "Is it the person who stitched up your wound?"
"Mm." Su Jin nodded.
Lu Ming asked somewhat anxiously, "Who is she? Does she have a name? I've never heard of any healer in the martial arts world who is more skilled than me."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Su Jinxia said with disdain, "Master, one should be humble. Your words are too grand. There are always people more capable than you, and heavens beyond heavens."
The deer's cry...
Su Jinxia still feels quite emotional when she recalls it now, "She was so beautiful, with a gentle and compassionate temperament, as tender as water, making people feel comfortable."
"Unfortunately, I was in a hurry to leave and didn't get a chance to talk to her properly."
Lu Ming's hand movements gradually stopped, his eyes became slightly unfocused, and he was lost in thought.
What Su Jinxia said sounded just like the person in his memory.
Su Jin nudged Lu Ming and looked at him curiously.
Lu Ming snapped out of his daze and grabbed Su Jin's hand, asking, "Do you know her name and where she lives?"
Su Jin tilted her head. "You know her? She's a nun with the Buddhist name Wangchen. She should be practicing at Leien Temple."
Lu Ming's fingers furrowed slightly, as if he were deep in thought.
"What's wrong? Is it someone you used to know?"
Lu Ming blinked, concealing his emotions, and slightly tugged at the corners of his lips, saying, "No, I'm just curious what she did that made you approve of her so much. If she really has remarkable medical skills, you might as well go and pay her a visit."
"She said I can go see her anytime. If you want to get to know her, I can introduce you," Su Jin said with a sly smile.
Although the nun knew that Su Jinxia had a Gu poison in her body, Su Jinxia was not worried about being exposed.
She was certain that the nun would not say a word.
Lu Ming patted Su Jin's head and said, "Thank you so much, my disciple."
How can you still laugh when you look like that?
Lu Ming helped Su Jin warm up her arms and legs, helped her get up and move around, and then took her back to Tingyu Tower.
It's inconvenient for a girl like her to always stay in the medicine shed. Now that she's awake, it's more comfortable to return to Tingyu Tower.
"You need to rest in bed more. You can move around, but don't make any big movements. Avoid pulling on the wound."
"You must prepare all three meals a day according to my instructions; you can't just eat whatever you want."
"The wound medicine should be applied on time, and the decoction should be drunk while it is hot. Do not neglect this."
"Do not bathe for now; simply wipe your body daily."
"It's getting cold, so wear more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold. If the house is cold, turn on the heat as soon as possible."
"Take good care of her, and come to me first if anything happens."
...
Lu Ming kept giving instructions to Su Jin and Shen Yun, going on and on, and even assigned two servants to Shen Yun to do as he pleased.
Su Jinxia felt as if she were a frail woman who could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Su Jinxia's life of recuperation began from then on.
Lu Ming had nothing to do all day, so he went to Tingyu Tower eight hundred times, which made Su Jin very worried. She thought he wasn't as beautiful as before.
The group of disciples who stayed at Phoenix Pavilion also ran to Listening to the Rain Tower every day, bringing all sorts of delicious food and fun things, for fear that Su Jin would stay cooped up in the tower and get bored.
A few days later, Mai Zizi finally returned to Phoenix Pavilion.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and she jumped off, lifted her skirt, and ran uphill without stopping.
He was sweating profusely and panting heavily from running.
Shen Xi couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he picked her up and flew straight up.
Mai Zizi didn't even have time to thank him properly before rushing into Tingyu Tower.
As soon as Su Jin heard someone coming downstairs, Mai Zizi rushed to her bedside, threw herself in front of her, and started crying.
"Su Jinxia, how's your injury? Let me see! You scared me to death, waaaaah..."
Lu Ming wrote a letter describing Su Jinxia's injuries as extremely serious, almost to the point of death. Mai Zizi was terrified the whole way, fearing she wouldn't be able to see Su Jinxia one last time.
Su Jin lay face down on the bed, still holding the carving knife in her hand. Afraid of poking Mai Zizi, she quickly hid in the corner of the bed.
