However, this was a decision made by Brother Xiu Qi himself, and no one could change it.
"I've already prepared your challenge letter for you, and I've disposed of all the scrap paper. The rest is up to you to decide whether to accept the challenge or refuse."
"Thanks a lot."
"It's not hard work. Master will come to Tianjian Sect in three days."
"Is it because of our contract?"
Ye Xiruo nodded: "That's right. You have now become a prominent figure in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and my status in the Righteousness Pavilion is similar to yours. When the two of us join forces, we will naturally attract a lot of attention."
Is there any need to sign this contract?
"Just treat it as a play; only a few people know the truth."
"Master Ye, something terrible has happened! Ye Liusha is injured, and the injury is very serious. I've searched everywhere, but I can't find you."
What? Ye Liusha is injured? What happened? Ye Liusha's sword is outstanding among all the new students. Even those who have already entered the Heavenly Sword Sect to cultivate are not necessarily Ye Liusha's match. How could he be seriously injured?
"Take us to see it quickly."
After Ye Liusha was injured, he was sent to Ye Xiruo's residence.
When Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo arrived, all the servants gathered outside the guest room, looking fearful and anxious.
Ye Liusha had been stabbed in the chest, very close to his heart, and had lost a lot of blood. He also had many other gruesome external wounds on his body.
As for the internal injuries, one can guess they are quite severe without even seeing them. This situation is similar to the day Zishu flew out of the Sword Tower.
"Can anyone tell me what happened?"
"Little Leaf, save people first. I think Ye Liusha will tell you in person when he wakes up."
"You may all leave. I need to heal Nightfall's wounds."
Countless streams of Qingyang True Qi transformed into emerald green threads, enveloping Ye Liusha's entire body. Ye Xiruo's spiritual power surged forth, probing Ye Liusha's injuries.
It was better than she had imagined. Ye Xiruo found familiar medicinal power in Ye Liusha's body, which meant that he must have already taken the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill.
No matter how severe the injury, as long as there is still a breath left, the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill can pull a person back from the brink of death. However, although the Supreme Lesser Rejuvenation Pill is a holy product for healing, it is still only a seventh-grade pill and cannot heal most of the injuries like the Greater Rejuvenation Pill.
This time, Ye Liusha's injuries were very serious. The knife wound to his chest alone had severely damaged his vitality, not to mention the other injuries.
The Lesser Rejuvenating Pill saved his life and healed most of his injuries; the rest required slow recuperation. Even if he were to take the Greater Rejuvenating Pill now, it would be difficult to heal all his injuries.
Xiu Qiyu held his sword, guarding Ye Xiruo's side.
Ye Xiruo channeled Qingyang True Qi into Ye Liusha for two hours before stopping her practice.
"Little Leaf, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I just used up a little true energy. I'll recover it through cultivation."
Ye Xiruo took out a bottle of spiritual water from her spatial storage and poured it down Ye Liusha's throat.
"This is hemostatic powder. Please apply it to him."
Even with Qingyang True Qi, internal injuries require half a month to slowly recuperate. Unless she uses Qingyang True Qi daily to help him disperse the meridians and nourish his lungs, it might shorten the time.
"You should meditate and rest for a while."
"If anything happens, call me over immediately."
"I see."
The transparent water instantly appeared in Xiu Qiyu's palm, then was continuously compressed until it turned into something like a crystal ball, with what appeared to be snowflakes dancing inside.
As the crystal ball approached Ye Liusha, it instantly transformed into countless water droplets. Under Xiu Qiyu's control, these droplets helped Ye Liusha clean her wounds and simultaneously relayed the condition of the wounds back to Xiu Qiyu.
This was the most disheveled Xiu Qiyu had ever seen Ye Liusha. Just who was this person, using such ruthless tactics? If Xiu Qiyu hadn't shown mercy, Ye Liusha would already be dead.
After Xiu Qiyu applied the medicine to Ye Liusha, Ye Liusha still did not regain consciousness. Xiu Qiyu then set up a spirit-gathering array, hoping it would help Ye Liusha's injuries heal faster.
Xiu Qiyu stayed by Ye Liusha's side all night. By dawn, although Ye Liusha was still not fully awake, his injuries had stabilized.
Compared to Ye Liusha, Xiu Qiyu was more worried about Ye Xiruo.
Tianjian Sect is not Haoqi Pavilion, so Xiao Yezi cannot freely enter the space at the Emperor level to heal. Recently, Xiao Yezi's true essence has been in a state of depletion, and he is worried that this may affect Ye Xiruo's cultivation.
"Come in. When did Brother Xiu Qi become so conflicted and hesitant?"
"Little Leaf, you're awake."
"Yes, what about Nightfall Sand? How's the situation?"
"It's stable now. Just rest and recover properly and everything will be fine."
"That's good."
Ye Xiruo picked up the Soul Cleansing Cup and gently took a sip.
"It seems that the Heavenly Sword Sect is not as safe as I thought."
"The internal strife within the sect is never as wonderful and peaceful as we imagine."
Is it really unavoidable?
Xiu Qiyu nodded: "So you must be extra careful in the Haoqi Pavilion. I won't be by your side, so you must protect yourself."
"Don't worry, there are several of us from the Haoqi Pavilion. We can look after each other. If things get really bad, we can gang up on each other. I don't care about any chivalrous code. You and Ye Liusha are all alone. Look, Ye Liusha has fallen again. Once you also fall victim to their schemes, you'll be completely wiped out."
The most important point is that neither Brother Xiu Qi nor Ye Liusha has taken a master yet, which means that no one is backing them up. Others can fight them even more freely. Don't worry, if they beat the younger one, the older one will come and kill them anyway.
No, thinking about it this way, Brother Xiu Qi and Ye Liusha's situation in the Heavenly Sword Sect is far too dangerous. We must come up with a good solution.
"Little Yezi, what are you daydreaming about? Your tea is getting cold."
Ye Xiruo downed the Soul Cleansing Wine in one gulp: "Nothing? I was just thinking about finding a backer for you and Ye Liusha."
"I want to become a member of Tianjian Peak, while Ye Liusha has set his sights on Master Ku Wu. This will not change."
"I'm afraid you two won't last that long before someone kills you."
Xiu Qiyu raised an eyebrow: "It won't come to that, you can rest assured." Internal strife within a sect is ultimately not a life-or-death struggle, and it won't be as bloody and cruel as Xiao Yezi imagines.
"How do you know it won't come to that? Ye Liusha was lucky to have taken the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill today, otherwise his life would have been in danger. This is just the beginning. What about later? If this happens a few more times, will Ye Liusha still be alive?"
