My father was sent here by Jiang Xiyan, so he should know something.
Shen Qiqi thought so in her heart.
She wanted to find out what happened to her father before he fell into a coma and who hurt him. Only by figuring out the root cause could she find a way to wake her father up.
Unfortunately, there is a saying in this world that goes, "God doesn't always give you what you want."
Jiang Xiyan didn't know what had happened to Shen Mingyu.
"I accidentally met Sect Master Shen on the way. When I saw him, he was seriously injured and unconscious. I fed him a pill and he woke up. But he didn't say what happened or who hurt him. He just took out the family head token and stuffed it into my hand, telling me to make sure to hand it over to you, Miss Shen, and then he fainted again." Jiang Xiyan said.
Finally, he blamed himself and said, "When I saw that Sect Master Shen was seriously injured, I only wanted to send him to the hospital for treatment, so I didn't have time to check around."
If he had not been in a hurry to save people, but had checked the surroundings carefully first, he might have found some clues before the heavy rain came.
Unfortunately, when he sent people to Wuji Sect, the people who received his message to check the scene also sent back information: all traces were washed away by a rainstorm, and no clues were found.
Moreover, the place where the incident happened was located in the desolate mountains and there was no human habitation within a radius of a hundred miles. No one saw what Shen Mingyu encountered there, and no one knew.
Jiang Xiyan looked guilty: "I was too impatient at the time, I should...should..."
Should he leave the seriously injured and unconscious person behind and check the surroundings first?
It doesn't seem to work.
After all, saving lives is what matters.
If the situation happened again, he would definitely choose to save people first.
Jiang Xiyan said in frustration, "If I had known I would run into Sect Leader Shen, I should have brought more people with me that day."
If there were enough manpower, he wouldn't have to temporarily summon more people. He would definitely be able to have people check the surroundings before the rainstorm comes, and perhaps find some clues.
And not be in the dark like now.
Shen Qiqi had no intention of blaming Jiang Xiyan. She comforted him and expressed her gratitude sincerely. Then she frowned and asked, "Mr. Jiang, you just said that you met my father in the wilderness. Do you remember that place? I want to go over and take a look."
Jiang Xiyan said, "I do remember, but my people have already searched the surrounding area and found nothing."
Especially now, the place has been washed by a rainstorm, and there must not be any clues left.
Jiang Xiyan didn't think it was necessary for Shen Qiqi to go and investigate in person.
Shen Qiqi naturally knew all this, and she didn't expect to find any clues on the ground after so many days.
However, just because there are no clues on the ground doesn’t mean there are no clues underground.
Shen Qiqi took out the patriarch's token, her eyes fell on it, and a shallow groove appeared between her eyebrows.
The last thing her father did before he fell into a coma was to ask Jiang Xiyan to hand the token to her. This also meant that her father handed the entire Yuzhou Shen family into her hands.
Perhaps, the moment his father took out the family head token, he had already prepared himself mentally for a long sleep, or even for death.
What happened that made my father lose all his will to live?
Shen Qiqi couldn't figure it out.
She clenched the token in her hand and closed her eyes tightly. She felt her mind was in a mess, as if there was a ball of cotton thread stuffed in it. She stared at the ball of cotton thread with wide eyes, trying hard to pull out a thread.
Unexpectedly, the thread was not pulled out, but the world was spinning in front of her eyes. Before Shen Qiqi could even stagger, she fell limply to the ground.
In the last moment before she lost consciousness, she instinctively put the patriarch's token into her storage bag.
That was her father's token, she had to keep it safe for her father and not lose it.
Shen Qiqi suddenly fainted, and the other two people in the room were all startled. At that time, Jiang Xiyan was closest to Shen Qiqi, and when he found that Shen Qiqi was not in a good state, he screamed and subconsciously reached out to rescue her.
Just as he was about to wrap his fingers around Shen Qiqi's waist, his fingers were cut by a gust of wind. Jiang Xiyan screamed again and instinctively retracted his hand.
When he looked again, Shen Qiqi was already lying in Xie Beiming's arms.
Xie Beiming said to him, "Quickly go and invite the Immortal Master Taiqing over."
He had no idea that he had almost cut off someone's finger.
Jiang Xiyan was so angry that his face turned black, but he also knew that this was not the time to pursue these matters.
His little fairy fainted, and he didn't know what happened. He had to quickly ask Taiqing Immortal to come and save his little fairy!
——It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Xie Beiming, just wait for me!
Jiang Xiyan glared at Xie Beiming fiercely and ran away.
At that time, Immortal Taiqing was making a study plan for Shen Qiqi in the room, looking forward to making his little disciple the best in the art of alchemy.
Upon hearing that Shen Qiqi had fainted, Taiqing Immortal Venerable jumped up in shock, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and ran towards his little disciple.
He had gone through so much trouble to finally accept this little apprentice, so nothing could happen to him!
However, when Taiqing Immortal Venerable finished his inspection, he fell silent and stared at Shen Qiqi with a strange look in his eyes.
Jiang Xiyan lost his patience, and seeing him like this, he became extremely anxious and asked, "Immortal Venerable, how is my...Miss Shen? How could she suddenly faint...Don't just stare at her, say something!"
Xie Beiming also stared at Taiqing Immortal Venerable with a stern expression, obviously waiting for his answer.
Immortal Taiqing then raised his eyelids, glanced at the two of them, and said with difficulty: "Qiqi...she fainted from hunger."
“…”
The house fell into an eerie silence.
It took a long time before Jiang Xiyan exclaimed in disbelief.
"The Wuji Sect is the largest sect in the world after all. How can they treat their disciples so harshly? They don't even let them eat!"
Jiang Xiyan was like a spinning top, spinning around in the room angrily. He couldn't believe that the Wuji Sect, the largest sect in the world of cultivation, could have such a tragic incident that a disciple was starved to death... It was really shocking!
No wonder his little fairy would hide in the alchemy room and roast sweet potatoes!
If Jiang Xiyan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it. He would have just regarded it as a ridiculous joke!
However, he saw it with his own eyes. His little fairy fainted from starvation in Wuji Sect... It was too much!
Not to mention that Jiang Xiyan couldn't control himself, even the expression on Xie Beiming's face was out of control.
But unlike Jiang Xiyan's anger, Xie Beiming was just confused.
As a disciple of the Wuji Sect, he knew very well that the sect had never said that it would not give them food.
Moreover, before returning to Chunfeng, he and Qiqi had just had a hearty lunch.
Even though Qiqi stayed in the alchemy room for two days and one night without eating anything during that time... but after not eating for two days, she wouldn't faint from hunger, right?
He also had not eaten or drunk anything for two days and one night.
