When Xiao Huhai opened his eyes, he found himself back on the mountain, lying in his usual room.
Beside him, Gai Nie was sitting there drinking.
Noticing that Xiao Huhai had woken up, Gai Nie looked at him and said, "You're awake? Drink your medicine first."
He pointed to a bowl of medicine on the table.
Xiao Huhai frowned as he looked at Gai Nie, "Why would Master be there?"
This was his own business, and he didn't want to involve Gai Nie, so he didn't reveal that he was going to find Ying's hideout. But unexpectedly, Gai Nie still showed up there.
Gai Nie answered truthfully, "I received a message instructing me to come and rescue you."
Xiao Huhai was taken aback. "A message?"
He didn't send any messages, and this address is very secretive with few people knowing it.
Gai Nie said, "The day after the wine was delivered, I heard from the person that it was delivered by a baby."
Xiao Huhai's eyes flickered slightly. "A baby?"
It seems to be the younger brother.
I told you my brother cares about me!
Gai Nie stood up, picked up the medicine on the table, and handed it to Xiao Huhai, who took the medicine and obediently drank it all in one gulp.
Taking back the empty bowl, Gai Nie's gaze suddenly turned serious. "Now it's time to settle the score between you and your master, isn't it?"
Little Hu Hai looked puzzled. "My debt with Master?"
No, he didn't borrow any money or anything from Gai Nie.
When I returned to Xianyang this time, I remembered that Gai Nie liked to drink, so I specially borrowed some wine from the wine cellar. They were all good wines treasured by Ying Zheng.
His younger brother taught him.
Gai Nie's gaze turned deep. "You placed my disciple in danger without authorization. How should you repay this debt?"
Xiao Huhai's eyes changed slightly, unsure how to answer.
Gai Nie looked at him and said, "I'm punishing you so that you're never allowed to do that again. If anything happens again, you must tell your master, especially dangerous things like this."
Xiao Huhai lowered his head slightly, "It was precisely because of the danger that I chose to conceal it, because I didn't want my master to be in danger."
Gai Nie's voice was calm, "Before my sword, it is only others who will be in danger."
Little Hu Hai lowered his head and remained silent.
Even so, he didn't want to drag Gai Nie into trouble because of his own affairs.
Seeing this, Gai Nie said again, "I don't care how you lived before, but now that you are my disciple, you are no longer alone."
Little Hu Hai's eyes flickered slightly as he looked up at Gai Nie, his eyes welling up with tears.
Gai Nie reached out and patted his head. "You don't have to grit your teeth and persevere alone like before. Your teacher will stand by your side."
Tears welled up in Xiao Huhai's eyes, and he nodded slightly, "Yes, thank you, Master!"
······
Outside the room, Meng Tian gently knocked on the door and said, "Young Master, I have thought of a method that may be feasible."
The room was completely silent; there was no response.
Meng Tian knocked on the door twice more, "Young Master?"
There has still been no response.
He frowned, looking worried that something might be wrong.
Meng Tian pushed open the door and entered, but was taken aback.
The room was empty except for the desk and the bed not far away.
He searched the room again, calling out, "Young Master! Young Master!"
But after searching everywhere, he still couldn't find Fusu. His expression grew tense. "Someone! Someone!"
In the valley with its babbling brook, Fusu rode a black steed at breakneck speed toward Baishuiyuan.
······
Gai Nie carried a bowl of medicine into the room, only to find the bed empty. His expression shifted slightly.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, one could see the figure of Xiao Huhai practicing swordsmanship from afar.
Xiao Huhai moved swiftly through the dense forest, his hand gripping a tree branch that exuded a powerful sword intent.
With each swing of the branches, one large tree after another fell down.
The sword intent contained in the tree branch was so strong that it could tear the void apart with tiny cracks simply by sliding across it.
With each swing of the branch, his violent power would unleash a gust of wind, causing the surrounding branches and leaves to sway.
Gai Nie stepped forward, "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet."
Xiao Huhai stopped what he was doing and looked at Gai Nie. "I'm no longer in pain. I can't let my cultivation fall behind, so I came out."
Gai Nie looked into his dark eyes and said, "Drink the medicine first."
Little Hu Hai stepped forward, took the medicine, drank it all in one gulp, and returned the bowl with both hands, saying, "Thank you, Master!"
Gai Nie said, "Although we can't neglect our cultivation, we can wait until our injuries have healed before continuing, so as not to damage our foundation."
Xiao Huhai nodded, "Master is right, but I know my body is really fine now, otherwise I wouldn't be here."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly, "Moreover, my disciple is too weak right now."
Gai Nie looked at him and said, "You have only been cultivating for a few months, so naturally you cannot compare to those who have been cultivating for decades or hundreds of years. They have experienced countless life and death experiences and have become stronger and stronger through countless comprehensions, which is why they have their current strength."
"You are not as experienced or knowledgeable as them. It's already quite impressive that you have achieved your current level of strength in just a few months."
Little Hu Hai lowered his eyes and said, "Even so, this disciple must still work hard and not fall behind for even a day. I must become stronger as quickly as possible!"
Seeing the determined look in Xiao Huhai's eyes, Gai Nie didn't stop him. He put away the bowl and turned to leave, saying, "Even cultivation can't be neglected!"
He wasn't actually that worried about Xiao Huhai's health. When he had consulted a doctor before, the doctor had said that Xiao Huhai had a strong recovery ability and his physique was definitely top-notch.
Otherwise, Gai Nie wouldn't have brought him back so quickly.
Little Hu Hai's face lit up with joy, and he bowed to Gai Nie's retreating figure, saying, "Thank you, Master!"
As Gai Nie walked, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
With such talent and such hard work, this kid's growth rate seems to far exceed expectations.
He suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on the distance, and murmured, "It seems the world will soon have another legend."
Yes, even at such a young age, Hu Hai is already so formidable.
With this reckless training, it probably won't be long before he has the power to shake up the world.
