When Hu Tangdi entered the ward, the doctor and nurses had already left. She Jinxing and Chi Xie stood guard on either side of Shang Lin's bed, like two loyal protectors.
The boy on the hospital bed seemed to have returned to the weak state that Hu Tangdi first saw in the small mountain village. Only now he was receiving an IV drip with his eyes closed, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or resting.
For some reason, at this moment, countless fragments of memories from when he spent time with the sect leader suddenly flooded into Hu Tangdi's mind, as if they had known each other for a very long time!
But it has only been a little over two years. For these demon cultivators, this time can truly be described as a blink of an eye. Could it be that they have spent more time in contact with humans in the past two years and have become more and more like ordinary humans?
Perhaps it was the smell of food, or perhaps Shang Lin empathized with Yuan Shang Lin's painful emotions, that made her force herself to open her eyes, hoping to distract herself from other things.
However, when it comes to his blood-related mother, even though Shang Lin's emotions remained stable, it was not easy for him to shake off such real and painful feelings.
What's more, Junior Sister was actually a tragic cultivator who used herself as a weapon to seal away the evil spirit! Anyone with flesh and blood would have emotional fluctuations, and at the very least, would sigh with emotion.
However, as soon as he saw Shang Lin open his eyes, Hu Tangdi, who was about to put down the food bag, hurriedly said, "Sect Master is awake, it's time to eat."
Chi Xie and She Jinxing immediately stood up. One helped set the table and food, while the other hurriedly asked, "How are you feeling, Sect Master? Can you sit up to eat?"
Shang Lin wanted to smile at She Jinxing as usual, but he had no strength at all, and his mood was also affected, as if he were still the original Shang Lin, still affected by the deaths of his mother and Old Man Chai.
However, Shang Lin still reached out to She Jinxing, "Give me a hand, I feel like I'm about to burn out."
As She Jinxing reached out his hand, he also thought to himself, "If the sect leader can't sit up, I'll feed you."
But considering that the sect leader wasn't the type to be pretentious, and wouldn't suffer for the sake of saving face, he figured if he couldn't sit up, he would just say so directly.
However, Red Scorpion said, "If the sect leader doesn't have the strength, I can feed you."
She Jinxing secretly glared at Chi Xie, thinking that if he didn't speak, no one would think he was mute.
But Shang Lin smiled slightly and said, "You should have said so earlier. I was already sitting up."
Then he said in a serious tone, "I'll skip feeding you, but could someone cast a cleansing spell on me? I feel incredibly dirty."
"No," She Jinxing hurriedly said, "Everything the sect leader does now must be done according to human methods, so as not to affect the sect leader with magic."
"……All right!"
In this matter, Shang Lin had no choice but to compromise, since he had now taken over his junior sister's position and become the new vessel for sealing the evil spirits.
Even if they have tried their best to seal the demon, who knows what the future holds? Besides, the junior sister has the opportunity to "transfer" the demon, which he, a grown man, cannot do.
Shang Lin stayed in the hospital for five days before being discharged. In a big city hospital, this would be considered a critical condition. Usually, patients who have surgery only stay for three days, and he hadn't even had surgery yet.
However, Shang Lin's heart condition is indeed serious. The doctor has made it very clear: "Considering the patient's physical condition, conservative treatment is recommended."
This is approximately equal to...
