Chapter 43 Cat and Shi Liang Reunite
Bai Qingchen struggled to open his eyes a little, and blurry light came in.
It took me a while to adjust before I could see clearly that there was a simple gauze curtain above my head and a faint herbal fragrance lingering around my nose.
This was not a muddy wilderness. He turned his stiff neck and looked at the edge of the bed.
A ball of furry white creature curled up there, sleeping soundly, with its big fluffy tail covering the tip of its nose. Its body was a whole circle larger than I remembered.
"Ten taels?" Bai Qingchen's throat was dry and his voice was hoarse and almost inaudible.
The white mass on the couch trembled violently, and its big tail instantly stood up.
A furry head raised up, and its golden eyes were still confused as if it had just woken up. But after seeing the person who had opened his eyes on the bed, the confusion was instantly replaced by joy.
"in vain!"
The white ball suddenly bounced up and pounced into Bai Qingchen's arms like a white lightning, with such great force that it almost gave him a stitch in the side.
"Baibai! Baibai, you're awake! Wuuwuwu..."
Lan Yu, or Shi Liang, had completely lost the reserve of the young master of Qingqiu at this moment, and his little head was nudging the crook of Bai Qingchen's neck.
A whimper of grievance and joy came from his throat.
"I was so scared! You slept for such a long time! I was afraid you wouldn't wake up!"
Bai Qingchen felt a dull pain in the wound caused by his nudging, but when he saw the little fox in his arms, who was so excited that he was talking incoherently, the discomfort in his heart was diluted.
He raised his hand and touched Lan Yu's smooth fur with some difficulty. It felt warm and soft.
"I'm fine." He soothed in a hoarse voice.
Lan Yu raised his head, his eyes sparkling: "Bai Bai! I'm so powerful now! I can completely transform! Look!"
As he said this, he struggled to come down and show it.
Bai Qingchen held him down: "I know you're very powerful, but why are you here? Is this Qingqiu?"
The last thing Bai Qingchen saw before he lost consciousness was Li Xiuyuan’s twisted and crazy face and the blood-etching sword stabbing at him.
He thought he was going to die, but when he woke up, he found himself in this safe and comfortable place filled with the aroma of medicine, with Lan Yu by his side.
Lan Yu blinked, trying to recall: "This isn't Qingqiu. It was my brother who brought you back! He said you were seriously injured! Then he sent you to Medicine King Valley and asked me to stay with you."
He broke open his furry paws and counted them, but the hair on his paws was tangled and he couldn't count them all. "I've been guarding for many days, longer than the time I was grounded by my brother in Qingqiu!"
Lan Jin? Was it him who saved him? Bai Qingchen's heart was slightly moved.
How could Lan Jin appear there by chance? Moreover, this is... Medicine King Valley?
Yaowang Valley! These three words hit his heart like a heavy hammer.
He suddenly remembered something and, regardless of his weakness, struggled to sit up and check his things.
"Don't move!" A gentle but unquestionable voice sounded at the door.
Bai Qingchen paused and looked up.
A young man was standing at the door, wearing the common blue shirt worn by disciples of Medicine King Valley. He had a gentle temperament, clear features, and was holding a steaming bowl of medicine in his hand.
Chen Yu walked in quickly, placed the medicine bowl on the table beside him, and reached out to gently press Bai Qingchen's shoulders to stop him from getting up.
"The injuries to your internal organs and meridians have just stabilized. You can't withstand any more pain." He spoke in a calm tone, with the patience unique to a doctor.
Bai Qingchen was pushed back onto the pillow, his breathing a little unstable, but he still asked anxiously: "My sword?"
His biggest worry was frost and snow.
Chen Yu looked at his anxious expression and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
He picked up two things from the cabinet beside him and handed them to Bai Qingchen: "Are these what you are looking for?"
Bai Qingchen's attention was instantly drawn to them. One was the familiar Frost and Snow Sword, and the other... His pupils shrank slightly.
Warming the Sun and Warming the Jade Soul! This was exactly what he had fought with Li Xiuyuan for at the auction but failed.
How could it be here? Did Lan Jin save me and also get rid of Li Xiuyuan and take away this warm jade?
Many thoughts flashed through Bai Qingchen's mind instantly, but now was not the time to delve into them.
He took the Frost Sword and Warm Jade and held them tightly in his hands.
"Thank you very much, Senior Brother. May I ask your name?" He thanked him sincerely, and then added, "Thank you very much for saving my life."
Chen Yu waved his hand: "The one who saved you was my master, not me. You can just call me Chen Yu. Just rest and recuperate here."
He paused and said, "My master is the current master of Yaowang Valley."
The master of Yaowang Valley!
This name was like a stone thrown into Bai Qingchen's heart, creating complex ripples.
The nephew who was still a little kid in his memory and always followed him around and called him "uncle" is now the lord of Yaowang Valley, Bai Qiming.
"Then please thank the master for me."
An indescribable feeling welled up in my heart, with a sense of regret that things have changed and people have changed, a sense of uneasiness about being homesick, and even a sense of inferiority caused by my current identity when facing my relatives from my previous life.
He was not ready to face his family from his previous life in this manner.
Seeing his expression change and finally calm down, Chen Yu tactfully stopped talking and asked, "How are you feeling, Junior Brother Bai? Are you feeling any worse?"
Bai Qingchen shook his head, suppressing the confusion in his heart and thinking of something more important: "Senior Brother Chen, how long have I been unconscious?"
"It has been a whole month since you were sent here." Chen Yu replied.
One month! Bai Qingchen's heart sank suddenly.
When he left the sect, he only reported to his senior brother in charge of Hanyuan Peak that he was going out to look for materials and expected to be back in a few days.
Who would have thought that he would be ambushed by Li Xiuyuan on the way and be seriously injured and in a coma for a month.
Su Yue, Lin Feng, and those fellow disciples at Han Yuan Peak who were relatively friendly to him must have been extremely worried after not hearing from him for such a long time.
"Senior Brother Chen!" Bai Qingchen looked at Chen Yu anxiously.
"Could you please do me a favor? Send a letter back to Lingxiao Sect for me and tell them... that I encountered some unexpected delays while out searching for materials."
"The mission went smoothly, but I need to stay out for a while to deal with the aftermath so they don't have to worry. I will definitely be back before the sect disciple competition!"
He had to report that he was safe, otherwise Su Yue and Lin Feng would probably be very worried.
Seeing his anxious expression, Chen Yu immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go get some writing materials. You dictate and I'll write."
Soon, Chen Yu wrote three letters of safety with similar contents according to Bai Qingchen's instructions.
Bai Qingchen watched Chen Yu pack the envelope and instruct him to find a reliable person to deliver it to Lingxiao Sect as soon as possible. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, leaning back on the pillow, feeling a wave of fatigue coming over him.
"Junior Brother Bai, you are still very weak and need to rest. Don't miss your daily herbal medicine and acupuncture."
Chen Yu instructed, picking up the bowl of warm medicine, "Drink the medicine first."
As the bitter medicine went down his throat, Bai Qingchen felt much more at ease. He decided to stay here and recuperate for the time being.
After Chen Yu left, he went straight to the Valley Master's medicine room.
Bai Qiming was concentrating on a furnace of pills, the fire reflecting his calm face which could not hide a hint of anxiety.
He didn't even look up when he heard footsteps: "Is he awake? How is he?"
