“But he was murdered.” Xu Yuehuai said weakly. She did not believe that Old Master Pu died because of his serious injuries. She believed that the Jin family head must have mixed something else into the matter, which caused Old Master Pu’s organs to suddenly become lifeless overnight.
Yuan Shui agreed with Xu Yuehuai's idea, "The murderer is already dead, and you have already avenged Grandpa Pu, haven't you? So why did it have to turn out like this?"
As Yuan Shui emerged from the space, this tall, handsome man suddenly appeared before Xu Yuehuai, yet she didn't even raise her head. "Revenge? Does the death of another person mean the one I desire will return? Hatred is utterly useless; from beginning to end, it only leads to more death and more injustice."
If she had known that Old Master Pu would turn out this way, she wouldn't have killed the Jin family head; she would have spared him. However, before facing the Jin family head, she was repeatedly prevented by her eldest and second brothers, and thus didn't see Old Master Pu, nor did she know his situation. Naturally, she didn't know to spare the Jin family head's life.
This is not about revenge. The head of the Jin family is a menace. If he is not killed, his existence is like a time bomb that may suddenly explode at any time without giving anyone any time to prepare.
Xu Yuehuai was well aware of this matter; she would not give anyone a chance to revive their fortunes.
Little did they know that this was also a way to cut off their own escape route.
"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! Senior Sister Xu, you must go and check on Brother Pu and Second Brother Pu! They are lying on the ground unconscious!" With such a thing happening to the Pu family, Qingcheng Academy naturally sent people to help. The people who arrived at this moment were disciples from Qingcheng Academy.
When the disciple saw a handsome young man standing in front of Xu Yuehuai, his expression did not change, and he did not pause in his speech. His most urgent matter was still the matter that the young man had come to report.
Xu Yuehuai jumped up from the ground and followed the disciple in that direction, her face dark with fear the whole way.
Upon arriving at the scene, the noise grew louder. Beside Brother Pu and Brother Pu's second brother were two renowned physicians from Qingcheng, observing the two men's condition. Xu Yuehuai naturally stood aside. While she was more familiar with alchemy, she was truly no match for these two professionals when it came to medical skills.
They also noticed that Xu Yuehuai had arrived at the scene. One of them stood up, bowed to Xu Yuehuai, and then said, "Their symptoms are very strange, exactly the same as those of Grandpa Pu before. This is the first time I've seen such a bizarre situation, and there's currently no way to help them."
The doctor who spoke was Dr. Yang, who was famous in Qingcheng and had saved countless lives. If he said there was nothing he could do at this moment, then there probably really was nothing. Xu Yuehuai stopped trying to be brave and stepped forward. She began to doubt her own hands.
“Let’s see. Why did it turn out like this? Neither of them suffered any serious external injuries, and I gave them medicine immediately after the incident. Normally, they should have recovered quickly after taking the medicine I gave them!” Xu Yuehuai’s eyes held a hint of determination. She had already taken their pulses and knew their condition.
So when they learned that they had collapsed, they only suspected that the two of them were too tired, but never thought that they had also met with misfortune.
The determination in Xu Yuehuai's eyes made everyone present gasp. They all felt that this matter was too unbelievable. Everyone remained silent, as if this would leave the matter behind forever.
Dr. Yang sighed. He ultimately did not refuse Xu Yuehuai's suggestion and took Pu Erge's pulse again, but the result was the same. He lowered his head and did not stand up, worried that Xu Yuehuai would not be able to accept the result.
Xu Yuehuai took a few steps forward, bypassing Doctor Yang, and walked to Pu Erge's side. She stretched out a hand, and a continuous stream of spiritual energy poured out from her body, landing on Pu Erge and creating a burst of light. The people around were dazzled. "What is she doing? He's almost dying. What's the use of transferring spiritual energy like this? It's all in vain."
Everyone expressed their incomprehension of Xu Yuehuai's actions and shook their heads in disapproval. Yuan Shui stood in the crowd with his arms crossed, watching everything coldly, completely unconcerned about the matter. His indifferent attitude drew more attention from those around him.
A while passed, and Xu Yuehuai did not stop what she was doing. When she finally stopped, everyone was eager to go forward and see what had happened. They craned their necks to look inside and saw that Pu Erge on the ground was slowly opening his eyes. When he saw so many people in front of him, his eyes were filled with confusion. Xu Yuehuai, who was facing away from everyone, had a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. When Doctor Yang saw this, he quickly went to her side.
"You're risking your life! You're even willing to sacrifice your own health for others. Is it really worth it?" Doctor Yang muttered to himself as he transferred spiritual energy to Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai chuckled lightly, her eyes filled with indifference. "I know what I'm doing. I'm fine now, don't worry about me."
Seeing Xu Yuehuai's insistence, Doctor Yang didn't say anything more. He withdrew his hand, watched her take the pill, and then took her pulse again. This time, her pulse was much better than before, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor Qian squatted on the ground and continued to diagnose Brother Pu. The expression on his face was almost the same as when Doctor Yang diagnosed Brother Pu earlier. Seeing this, Xu Yuehuai knew that his problem was probably the same as Brother Pu's.
Pu Erge, bewildered, used the help of the person next to him to stand up from the ground. He looked around but still couldn't understand what was going on. But when he saw Xu Yuehuai's pale face, his expression changed. "What happened?"
A kind-hearted person explained everything, and Pu Erge was somewhat shocked. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen at his grandfather's funeral hall. He rubbed his temples, a hint of regret on his face. The next second, he asked Xu Yuehuai, "Little sister, are you alright?"
Xu Yuehuai had already wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. After taking the pill, her breathing had stabilized considerably. She shook her head and used the same technique again, striking Brother Pu. A blinding light shone out, and everyone could not open their eyes, so they all reached out to shield themselves from the light.
