At the hour of Shen (3-5 PM), Yun Chang came to the East Courtyard to see the wheat.
"Xiaomai, how are you?" Yun Chang and Zhou Quan sat down at the table to drink tea and asked Limai, who was lying on the couch reading a book.
Li Mai shook her head. "It's nothing. I've used up some spiritual energy, but it's not serious. I have spiritual spring water. I'll drink it if I feel anything is wrong."
"I think you must have a daily supply of that spiritual spring water, right? You used it all to save people today, didn't you? Do you have any left?" Yun Chang asked him with a chuckle.
Li Mai chuckled, "Wow, big brother, it's amazing how different it is to have gained sentience and awakened your spiritual root. You can even see that? Then guess how much you consume each day?"
Yun Chang pursed her lips. "It should be three bowls, right? I don't know where you got them from, but it seems like you eat three bowls a day. What happens if you eat too much?"
When Zhou Quan saw that Yun Chang had even guessed this, he glanced at him silently. This man really cares about Xiaomai. How many times has he observed her to remember her?
Li Mai clicked her tongue and nodded. "Yes, three bowls. If it's too much, I can have it too, but I'll get a headache so bad I'll faint."
The consequences were really this serious?
"Xiaomai, thank you for saving Huanhuan's father and her senior brother today." Yun Chang took a deep breath and sincerely thanked Li Mai.
"Brother, there's no need to thank me. Even if it were a stranger, I would still have to save them. It's my instinct as a healer and cultivator. Has Patriarch Xu's fever subsided?"
"To avoid my elder brother having to say thank you again," Li Mai asked.
Yun Chang nodded, "It's gone. When Huanhuan woke up, she found that her father's fever had subsided. If it were an ordinary doctor and ordinary herbs, the fever probably wouldn't have gone down so quickly, right?"
Li Mai nodded. "Yes, that's for sure. It will take at least two or three days to get a high fever, and a person might not even be able to withstand it."
After all, there were no antibiotics available in this era for intravenous injection to quickly reduce fever or inflammation and help patients clear germs from their bodies.
Yun Chang nodded, "Fifth Senior Brother Huanhuan hasn't woken up yet, but he doesn't have a fever either. I fed him water twice, and he drank it both times. The water that Chief Xu fed him all came back out, so I used my spiritual power to help Huanhuan swallow two spoonfuls of spiritual spring water when he went out."
Li Mai smiled and said, "Big brother, when are you planning to tell her about your identity as a cultivator? Today, Uncle Yang even erased Huanhuan's memory of me using spiritual power to control the spiritual spring water to save people in order to protect me."
Yun Chang shook her head, "Let's not tell her for now, we'll talk about it later!"
Li Mai nodded, respecting his idea.
Ah Jun reported that the interrogation was successful. Yun Chang told Li Mai to rest more, and then called Zhou Quan to go out with her.
He would need Zhou Quan's help with some of his next plans. He couldn't let the beatings he endured go to waste. He should ask Zhou Quan to do things that he couldn't do himself.
After watching the two leave, Li Mai sent a thought into her spatial dimension.
After drinking a bowl of spiritual spring water, she sat by the stream and began to cultivate.
Just now, for a fleeting moment she considered bringing Yun Chang here to see, but in the end she held back. She wasn't sure if this place was absolutely safe, after all, she didn't even understand her own situation yet.
The appearance of Gu Zhe and the disappearance of Qinglong in the space last time made her not so confident in her space. She even felt that this space was not actually her own independent space.
Therefore, this place is now only where she draws spiritual spring water and where she and Zhou Quan cultivate.
She even imagined this place in her mind as a place that exists in some other time and space reality, and that she could bring herself and the people and things she wanted to bring here simply by using her thoughts, and that she could come and go here at will.
If you can come and go as you please, then perhaps other cultivators might also suddenly be able to come and go freely here?
With this in mind, Li Mai made a decision: she and Zhou Quan would build a small courtyard for themselves here as soon as possible, and store all their belongings in their own courtyard.
Lock it up and set up a barrier; this way, she'll feel more at ease here, knowing that there's a place here that truly belongs to her.
Feeling that she had recovered, Li Mai left the space with a thought and walked towards the main house.
When she went in, Xu Changge was gently wiping her father's uninjured skin with a towel.
Judging from the information that Seven Star Tower found out today, her father must have been imprisoned there for quite a while. If the information is true, her father was imprisoned there for three months. When he was rescued, he looked like a beggar, covered in dirt and wearing tattered clothes.
The tattered clothes had already been thrown away, and the housekeeper helped change her into clean undergarments. However, the rough, dirty, and scabbed areas of her skin were still wet with water and blood. Judging from the filth she washed off with warm water, one could guess how much beating and humiliation her father had suffered over the past three months.
As Xu Changhuan wiped her eyes, tears welled up in them. When she saw Li Mai come in, she couldn't hold back her tears and they fell.
"Xiaomai, tell me, how did Dad get through these past three months?" Her voice choked with emotion, filled with a sorrowful helplessness.
Li Mai hugged her comfortingly and whispered, "Your father survived, which means he's pulled through. Things will get better from now on, so don't be sad. At least he's still here with you."
"Yes, that's right, thank you, Xiaomai!" Xu Changhuan said, her voice choked with emotion.
"These will be wiped clean gradually. Just wipe them gently once today. Once the wound is healed, I'll give you a medicinal bath recipe. Have your dad soak in it a few times and he'll be fine."
After Li Mai finished speaking, she went over to check on Xu Changhe's condition.
“Your senior brother is in better condition than your father. He should wake up soon. Has none of his family come to see him?” Li Mai is still unaware of her fifth senior brother’s condition.
