Chapter 141: Learning and Applying
She didn't sleep well the whole night, but she didn't dare to turn over too many times. She was in constant torment. For some reason, she didn't want Mu Jin to notice her uneasiness.
She was cowardly and couldn't even say an apology.
Jiaoran pressed her hands against the pillow, gripping the soft fabric, but this did not alleviate the pain in her heart.
When Mu Jin fell asleep completely, she called him several times, but he didn't wake up. Jiaoran then lifted her quilt and carefully touched the bones in his arm, fearing that she had broken a bone. He endured the pain and didn't say anything.
After touching it for a while, I suddenly realized that I didn't know how to do it either, so it was all in vain.
He whispered and summoned the gust of wind.
Ji Feng spread her hands, indicating that she was helpless. Zhu Su was an alchemy practitioner and was well versed in pharmacology and medicine, but she had been observing for hundreds of years and had not figured out anything.
Jiao Ran lowered his voice and asked, "What should we do then?"
Ji Feng was even more helpless, "You were the one who hurt him, and you're still asking me?"
"Now neither you nor I know how to do it, shouldn't we go out and find a doctor?"
Ji Feng asked, "Why don't you discuss this with him while he's still awake?"
He looked up and saw Jiaoran's worried expression. "Are you afraid he will blame you?"
Jiaoran didn't answer.
Ji Feng sighed, his breath misty. "He won't blame you. I can see it all. This mortal is especially stubborn. He won't blame you, no matter who he is. Believe me, even if you want to kill him, he will personally hand you the knife."
Jiaoran felt uncomfortable and said, "Stop talking."
Ji Feng said, "When I tried to stop you, weren't you so fierce that you wanted to break me? Now you're starting to feel sorry for him. In my opinion, you're the most hypocritical, huh."
While scolding Jiaoran, she pulled out a book from somewhere in the mist and said, "This is the only book I have for treating injuries."
Jiao Ran asked, "Learn and use it immediately?"
Ji Feng said, "What else? If you don't learn, who will heal him?"
"How about we find a doctor? Even if I learned it, I wouldn't dare treat him."
Jifeng said, "You'd better not leave this place before he wakes up, otherwise he will only be more anxious to find you. Do you know how terrifying you are when you go crazy?"
Jiao Ran didn't want to think about it, so he took the book from her hand and held it in his hands. "It's so thick, how long will it take me to finish it?"
Hayate sighed and asked her to hold the cover of the book.
Immediately, the words floated in the air from the book, and each word rushed out with great speed, heading straight for Jiaoran's forehead.
In less than a cup of tea, all the words in the book were imprinted in her mind.
"What's this?"
"Help you remember quickly."
"But now that I have the words in my head, I still don't understand."
Ji Feng's figure flew up, transformed into a streak of golden light, and landed on Jiao Ran's wrist. "Then I won't worry about it. Just think about it and treat him yourself. Killing him will save you some trouble, so that you don't go crazy and kill him with a single blow in the future."
Jiaoran was panicking while thinking about how to treat his injuries.
Mu Jin, who was sleeping, was unusually calm in his dream.
She, the one who was treating the injured, seemed to be even sicker than the one being treated. While checking his injuries, her hands were shaking badly. She was really worried that he would wake up.
But later on, he seemed to fall into a deeper sleep.
He must have been really tired today.
Governor's Office.
Holding Biluo, Zhuxing's face turned extremely pale.
The expression on the child's face showed that he was in extreme pain. Standing in front of his wife, Cha Che was unable to make a decision for a while.
He slowly walked towards the door, "You stay in the mansion and wait for my news."
Zhuxing stopped him, "What are you going to do? If you go now, you'll be making a decision for me. Between Jiaoran and the child, who gives you the right to choose the child for me?"
Cha Che stamped his feet. "You are his mother and can decide his life or death. As his father, can I just watch him suffer like this? I...Zhuxing..."
She said coldly, "The miracle doctor said that the child was born with a deficiency. It's my fault as a mother for not being able to give him a healthy body. Do you really want to believe the nonsense of Phoenix Young?"
Cha Che said, "Even the miracle doctor is helpless. If we don't rely on superhuman powers, how can we—"
At this point, the couple found it difficult to say what to say next.
Chai Che had no choice but to say, "If the court hadn't sent troops to support us, if it weren't for the Phoenix Young who summoned the wind and rain and scared off those tribes, Xiu Tu would have fallen long ago. When my father was still alive, he said that if the court wanted to abandon Xiu Tu, there was nothing we could do. That's why he tried every means to win over the Chang'an families. It's a pity that my father didn't expect Chang'an to be in such chaos now. The emperor has no intention of defending Xiu Tu anymore. Our private soldiers have resisted the barbarians' attacks three times. If they continue to make a comeback, we won't be able to hold out for long. We have to rely on his strength. This is the first reason. The second is our children. As parents, we can never just accept our fate and watch our children suffer like this."
Zhuxing didn't know what to do. "You want to deal with Jiaoran for the sake of Xiu Tu and the children, but have you ever thought about how innocent Jiaoran is? She has never wronged us. Fenghuang Chu wants you to help him. Can you really do something that goes against your own conscience?"
Cha Che laughed, and his laugh sounded extremely sad and angry. When Zhu Xing heard it, he also felt extremely sad in his heart.
But even so, she remained calm, "You have to give an explanation to the people and to Biluo. I understand. But Archer, if killing one person can save Tu's peace, I'd rather die. Do you understand? I can't betray Jiaoran. She's already alone and helpless in this world. I'm the most important sister to her. If her sisters also abandon her, just imagine how terrified she would be."
Chai Che was suddenly stunned. He understood that his wife was condemning her, but this was the best way. Jiaoran's strength was not enough to resist the phoenix chick, and they had to resolve the current crisis this morning.
He murmured, "If only my eldest brother and third brother were still in the mansion, we would be a family, supporting each other."
At this moment, a man riding a tall black horse and wearing a black robe came outside the governor's mansion.
Immediately, someone came forward to question him. When they heard that he was looking for the Second Young Master of the Governor's Mansion, the servant sneered, "Who are you? How dare you have the audacity to ask our Second Young Master to come and see you?"
He struck out with a palm, knocking the three servants at the door so hard that they almost couldn't breathe.
The man in black grabbed one of the men's neck and strangled him hard, killing him.
Then he grasped another man's shoulders and said to the third, "Go and tell them that the people from the Trace Pact have arrived. If you don't go, I will kill this man and then you."
Chai Che rushed over and opened the letter. He was shocked and asked, "Is what is said in this letter true or false?"
The man in black laughed, "Master, you already knew that the Second Young Master wouldn't believe it, so you can go find them yourself. I'm sure that the First and Third Young Masters Chai have already been buried by now."
Chai Che was shocked and terrified, unable to utter a word for a long time. After coming to his senses, he said, "If he wanted to find Jiaoran and Mujin, he could have used his own abilities. He told these lies just to lure the snake out of its hole. How come Fenghuangchu, with such superb abilities, couldn't find these two people?"
The man in black said angrily, "They just used some tricks to temporarily block the master's sight. Young Master Chai Da and Young Master Chai San must have found them, so they were silenced because they didn't want Young Master Chai to go back and report to the master. Now that they are dead, the master naturally can't find their whereabouts."
Zhuxing also arrived, handed the child to a servant, and angrily said, "You can throw dirty water on Jiaoran all you want. How soft-hearted she is, I know! Phoenix Chick is playing these divisive schemes, thinking that my husband and I will be completely fooled!"
The man in black said coldly, "After you find the person, release this golden butterfly. Then the truth will be revealed to you."
Zhuxing didn't know what Fenghuangchu was trying to be mysterious about, so she waved her hand and said, "Go away. My husband and I would rather die than surrender. We will naturally mobilize the entire Governor's Office to protect Xiu Tu. But if you want us to cooperate with your cruel master and reveal my sister's whereabouts, you are wishful thinking."
As he said this, Zhuxing ordered the servants in the mansion to surround him. "If you dare to come again, next time, I can't guarantee that you can leave the Governor's Mansion safely."
The man in black smiled nonchalantly, "Miss Zhuxing, why are you so decisive? You can discuss whether you want to help our master or not with Young Master Chai. Once you've made up your mind, we can continue the discussion. This deal is a good one. Our master can help you keep Xiu Tu safe for a while and cure the young master's illness. All you have to do is send a signal for the master. It's a piece of cake for you."
Zhuxing followed Chai Che towards the mansion. In the blink of an eye, the servants shouted quickly, "Oh no! The young master..."
There were lights on in the house at night.
As soon as Jiaoran entered the room, he saw Mu Jin packing her belongings.
"What's wrong? Where are you going?"
As soon as he saw Jiaoran coming back from practice, he took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, "Let's leave tonight."
"Ah, why the rush?"
Before Jiaoran figured out what he was going to do, she saw him taking her to a tree in the yard. Jiaoran had long felt that this tree did not seem to be a mortal tree, but Mu Jin did not tell her the details, so she had no choice.
He had already packed his things. The two of them stood under the tree. As the golden silk thread hung in the air, Jiaoran was startled. "What is this?"
"I'll explain it to you later. This tree will temporarily take us to another place where no one can find us."
Just as they were leaving, a gust of wind blew, and a piece of debris floated in the air. Jiaoran reached out and grabbed it, "Did you burn something?"
Mu Jin was a little panicked, "No... I didn't burn anything, maybe someone else's house burned something and it was blown over by the wind."
Something is wrong. Why is he suddenly so anxious to leave?
Jiao Ran muttered in a low voice, "Leaving the ashes and returning to the source, the essence is preserved, and it will be restored!"
The burning debris immediately turned into a letter.
Jiaoran opened it.
Mu Jin hurriedly tried to snatch it away, but she grabbed Jiao Ran and said, "We have to leave immediately. Don't delay."
Jiaoran unfolded the letter, looked at it for a few seconds, walked out from under the tree, and cut the golden thread with a sword. The silk thread on the tree no longer dared to entangle her.
Jiao Ran shouted, "Bi Luo is seriously ill and wants to use my blood to test medicine. Why did you hide this from me?"
As she spoke, she stepped back. After taking a few steps, she suddenly froze, "Do you think this is a trick of Phoenix Young, and not a letter from Senior Sister and Chai Che?"
Mu Jin nodded.
Jiao Ran looked at the tree behind him and said, "How long will it take for this tree to take us away?"
"About an incense stick."
She said, "That's enough, one stick of incense."
"What do you mean? You want to tell them where we are now?"
Before Jiao Ran could say anything, he angrily pointed to the backyard and said, "Chai Lie and Chai Hui are both dead. We killed them, and they didn't even have coffins. If Chai Che comes and we're exposed, what are we going to do?"
Jiao Ran corrected himself, "I was the one who killed him. I don't regret it at all. If Chai Che wants to settle the score with me, let him. I'm always waiting. But Bi Luo is my senior sister's flesh and blood. I can't bear to see him suffer. The letter said he has a heart defect, so his angina pectoris has become more severe as he grows older. If you can use my blood as a medicine to try to save him, I won't just walk away."
Mu Jin let out a sigh from his throat. He looked very anxious, but Jiaoran just didn't want to go with him. Kongsang was right in front of them.
Seeing his face turn pale, Jiao Ran stepped forward and took his arm. "Let's wait for them here. If I can really save Bi Luo, then why not? If it's just a lie from Phoenix Young, and he follows the clues to find us, I still have the strength to resist him for a while. I've been practicing hard all this time."
Mu Jin said in a deep voice, "Jiaoran, let's...don't...just ignore them..."
She held Mu Jin's hand, which was trembling slightly, and said, "He dug out one of my eyes. Don't worry, I won't let him dig out the other one. I still have my eye to look at you."
"If Cha Che and Zhu Xing are his men now, then we are courting death."
Jiao Ran said, "Senior Sister won't betray me, absolutely not. She must have tried everything but couldn't save the child, so she wanted to give my blood a try. Didn't Chai Yu use our blood to practice martial arts and maintain his youth? If it works and can help that child, it will put Senior Sister at ease."
Mu Jin felt unbearable pain in his chest from time to time, almost so much pain that he wanted to bend over like a cooked shrimp, but he endured the pain, stood upright, and continued to persuade Jiaoran to ignore the letter and leave with him.
Jiaoran made up her mind to reply and wait for their arrival. She believed that her senior sister would not reveal her whereabouts.
Seeing her so confident, Mu Jin took a step back with heavy steps. At this moment, he could no longer hold on and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Jiaoran knew that his internal injuries had not healed yet, so he quickly asked him to sit down and pushed his uterus to drain the blood.
"Don't talk, otherwise the true energy will run wild in your body." Jiaoran said.
"Then you must promise me that you will change places with me immediately."
Jiaoran agreed to everything, wanting to calm him down and make him sit still.
