Seeing Huo Yusen's tense face, not saying a word, his brows were frighteningly gloomy.
After bandaging his wound, Huo Yuwei couldn't help but sigh. He moved over and put his hand on Huo Yuwei's shoulder, but Huo Yuwei didn't expect Huo Yuwei to slap it away.
"Don't touch me!" Huo Yusen suddenly looked up.
Those eyes were bloodshot, with a chilling dark undercurrent surging within them, making Huo Yuwei's heart skip a beat.
"Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?"
Huo Yusen realized what was happening and turned his face away, his voice cold and hard, "I'm fine."
I thought he was just too worried about Qiqi, and that's why he acted this way because he was also thinking about his brothers and sisters.
Huo Yuwei didn't take it too seriously and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry too much. Qiqi is a lucky person and will be fine."
Huo Yusen kept a straight face and didn't say anything, his hands clenched into fists as he leaned on the chair.
He... was about to lose control!
Qiqi!
***
Inside the Huo family manor, the living room was brightly lit.
The children went out on adventures, and the adults at home were so worried they couldn't sleep.
Mrs. Huo paced anxiously in the living room, glancing towards the front door every now and then.
Madam Ji had long since gone to the front yard and stood at the gate, gazing into the distance.
For some reason, her eyelids were twitching violently, and she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
In particular, when Ji Chengfeng called her and said that his day had been unlucky.
First, his car broke down for no reason. Then, while eating, his fork broke for no apparent reason and almost hurt his hand. Next, his coffee cup suddenly exploded. Luckily, the coffee wasn't hot, or he would have been burned.
Then, a series of events made him both happy and worried about Qiqi.
He had the protective talisman and lucky charm given to him by Qi Bao, but now he was suddenly so unlucky. He was worried that something had happened to Qi Qi, and that the talismans had also lost their effectiveness.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji became even more worried!
The Huo family's butler, Xiao Zhang, stayed by their side, comforting one person and then another.
"Madam, please don't worry. Young Master and Miss Qiqi are blessed with good fortune and will definitely return safely."
"And you, Madam Ji, are also safe. Miss Qiqi is so capable, she'll definitely escape unscathed. Besides, there are the two young masters there. They love Miss Qiqi so much, they certainly won't let her suffer even the slightest harm."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the sound of a car engine came from outside the door.
A car with an unfamiliar license plate, but clearly belonging to a government department, braked suddenly at the entrance of the Huo Family Manor.
Then the car door opened, and a young man dressed in a white coat and carrying a medicine box, who looked like a doctor, jumped out of the car.
"And you are?" Butler Chen immediately stepped forward.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Yi, a doctor from the special department." The man quickly took out his badge from his pocket and gave a brief self-introduction.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji's face turned pale instantly. "You've come here because Qiqi and the others are injured? Who is injured? Is it serious? Where are they? No, I have to go find them."
Madam Ji was completely panicked.
I was in a hurry to leave when, in the next second, another car came hurtling towards me.
The housekeeper quickly pulled Madam Ji aside, preventing her from being grazed by the car.
Madam Huo also hurried out of the living room to greet them.
As soon as they came out, they saw Huo Yuwei carrying the unconscious Qiqi as he got out of the parked car.
Huo Yusen followed closely behind, his small face tense.
"Qi Bao!"
Upon seeing this, Madam Ji broke free from the butler's hand and rushed over, her face drained of color, her hands trembling as she touched Qiqi's little face.
"What happened? How did Qi Bao get hurt like this?" Madam Ji's eyes were red, and large tears rolled down her cheeks. She clutched her chest tightly with one hand.
When Madam Huo saw Qiqi's pale face, she was also heartbroken and worried.
But having experienced many grand occasions, she was actually more composed than Madam Ji at this moment.
"Don't worry, let the doctor take a look at Qibao first."
Mrs. Ji nodded frantically, wiping away her tears haphazardly. "Dr. Jiang, please, I beg you, please save my daughter no matter what."
"Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best!" Jiang Yi nodded solemnly, gesturing for Huo Yuwei to carry Qiqi into the living room first.
Huo Yuwei carried Qiqi into the living room quickly, carefully placed her on the sofa, and then pushed her away.
Jiang Yi stepped forward, squatted down next to the sofa, and placed his fingers on the little girl's slender wrist.
After a moment, Jiang Yi frowned and withdrew his hand. "Little Fellow Daoist Qiqi had previously overdrawn her spiritual energy, which caused damage to her meridians. If she had taken good care of herself, she would have been fine. But now she has recklessly used her spiritual energy, causing severe damage to her meridians. Fortunately, there is a gentle force protecting her heart meridian, which is why her life is not in danger."
Lin Wei immediately said, "It should be the Soul Gathering Banner! The Soul Gathering Banner is a spiritual artifact with the function of protecting its owner. Although Qi Qi exhausted her spiritual power when using it, the power within the banner was still protecting her."
Dr. Chen glanced at Qi Qi in surprise, not expecting that this little fellow Daoist would even possess a magical artifact like the Soul Gathering Banner, which could be considered a divine object.
He nodded, affirming Lin Wei's statement, "If it's the Soul Gathering Banner, then it makes sense. With the Soul Gathering Banner, it will continuously repair your body. Her current state of unconsciousness is itself a form of self-repair, which is a good thing. Next, with just a month of quiet rest and the Soul Gathering Banner's repair, you will be fully recovered. However, during this period, she absolutely, positively must not use any spiritual power. Otherwise, her meridians will completely collapse, and even a Great Luo Immortal would be unable to save her!"
Madam Ji's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed to Qiqi's side, holding her little hand tightly.
"No, never again." Even if something terrible happens within this month, she will not let Qiqi take any more risks.
Old Madam Huo touched Qiqi's little face with heartache, "This child is so soft-hearted. If she knew that someone was suffering, she would definitely still be unable to resist helping them."
"Then we won't let her know!" Madam Ji said decisively. "Tomorrow, I'll take Qiqi back to Haicheng."
Lin Wei subconsciously asked, "Then what about here..."
Madam Ji shot a sharp glare at him; the usually gentle and easy-going woman's voice turned icy cold in an instant.
"What? You, a prestigious sect in the capital, can't do anything without a three-year-old baby?"
Lin Wei felt her face burn with embarrassment after being stung by Madam Ji's words.
In the past, who would have dared to speak to them like that?
But the other party is Qiqi's mother, and what she said is not wrong.
The youngest of them is over twenty years old, yet they rely on a three-year-old child for everything.
She felt ashamed to tell anyone.
“Madam Ji is right. Little Fellow Daoist Qiqi has indeed helped us a lot. We shouldn’t rely on her for everything. But…”
She was about to say something more when Jiang Yi quickly interrupted her, "Let's not talk about that now, Captain Lin. I see you're injured too. Let me take a look at you first."
