"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door. Bo Qiu sat cross-legged on the bed and said, "Go ahead."
"Squeak."
Nie Yanchen pushed the door open and walked in, then sat down at the table. "The sect's medical practitioner said you were exhausted. Are you feeling better now?"
Bo Qiu's face remained calm as he lazily replied, "The Sect Master's display next door isn't meant for the other disciples, or for Ah Nian who's still far away, to hear."
It wasn't a clever move, but it was efficient and effective. If someone with a weaker mindset had only heard the unbearable screams from the other side, they would have given up.
But unfortunately, he was obviously the type with strong psychological defenses, and would only find this kind of method funny.
Even though his plan didn't work, Nie Yanchen remained remarkably calm, his expression unchanged as he said, "Children tend to hold grudges. Those were just ordinary fights, not me hinting at anything."
Bo Qiu curled his lips and chuckled, the meaning of which was difficult to fathom. He then said, "Since the Sect Master has made up his mind, you can speak freely."
Nie Yanchen pursed his lips and fell silent.
Since he entered the door, Bo Qiu has been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. His calm attitude seems to be that he is sure that he will come here and has anticipated his own questions.
In fact, if you must say, there is nothing strange about this. He never thought that Tu Nian would get to know an ordinary person with no special features at all. Especially looking at the way she and Bo Qiu get along, it is more like a relationship of protection and being protected.
The only problem was that Bo Qiu knew exactly what he was going to ask, yet he was still able to remain so calm. This made it difficult for him to imagine what identity the other party had in mind when answering his questions.
"Have you thought about it?"
Bo Qiu seemed to see through his thoughts and gave him a chance, but before he could respond, he continued, "But before I ask you, there are a few small things I think I need to remind you of."
It wasn't "you" but "you." This "young man's" rudeness made Nie Yanchen frown, "What?"
"The truth can certainly be told, but now is not the right time to make it public."
Slowly opening his fox eyes, Bo Qiu looked at him, "I hope Sect Master Nie can keep everything I said today secret, even if it's just to save An Nian's life."
…
In Nie Yanchen's room, treatment was still going on in full swing.
“Ouch!!”
Tu Nian didn't know how many times he had been pierced by needles. He now felt that the remaining years of his life were somewhat redundant compared to this kind of touch.
Human words: The pain made her want to die.
Tu Nian was scratching the mattress so hard that he almost tore the fabric, but Shan Cangzi's hands were as steady as a rock.
The long needle on his fingertip stabbed several times without stopping. Shan Cangzi finally found the right spot and withdrew his hand. Then he took out another silver needle as long as his palm and said to Tu Nian, "Just bear with it. The painkillers are already packed. It will be over soon."
Tu Nian finally took a breath, and when his eyes glanced at his fingers, he held his breath again, "I don't believe you, you said the same thing when you gave me the injection last time, ah——"
Shan Cangzi took advantage of her unpreparedness and attacked accurately, so the painkiller was like a decoration, causing Tu Nian to howl for a while again.
Finally, after some effort, he finished the last needle and withdrew his hand. He then patted her body rhythmically and stood up. "Stop howling, it's over."
Tu Nian's mind was blank, his eyes dark. He barely climbed out of bed and randomly swiped his fingers at him, "Seriously, you need to practice your acupuncture. This is only because you met someone as mentally resolute as me. If it were someone else, even if the injury was not serious, you would kill them."
Listening to her complaints, Shan Cangzi packed his things calmly, and finally threw two pills to her without saying anything.
Why are all the Taoists so arrogant?
Tu Nian took the pill and complained in his heart. He curled his lips and was about to chew the pill and swallow it when Shan Cangzi suddenly said calmly: "Wait until the pain in your body is over before eating it, otherwise the more you eat, the more pain will come."
Fortunately, Tu Nian was not so quick to speak. She put the pill in her mouth and before she could chew it, she spat it out with a "pop" sound. Holding the wet pill, she looked at Shan Cangzi with a dark face. "Will I die if I don't talk loudly and breathe?"
Shan Cangzi walked out the door and said, "I was just about to say that, but you spoke too quickly."
“…”
If she didn't know that this guy was a doctor and not someone she could mess with, she would have taken revenge on him.
Tu Nian spat lightly in annoyance, stretched his muscles and bones, and lay down on the bed, intending to take a nap with the quilt. Unexpectedly, Shan Cangzi, who had already taken a step forward, suddenly came back and scared him so much that he rolled over.
"Why aren't you getting out of here yet?" Tu Nian covered his wound and glared at him.
I just turned over and bumped into it, and the scab-covered wound turned red again.
Shan Cangzi pretended not to notice and said to her, "Tell the Sect Master that as a talisman cultivator who doesn't exercise vigorously, you still need to pay attention to your physical training. Otherwise, your body will be too weak, and next time you encounter the same situation, you may not be so lucky."
After saying that, he turned and walked out. Tu Nian sat on the bed and thought for a while, and felt that what he said seemed to make a lot of sense.
Thinking about it, Xu Ziqiao was also in the middle stage of the Golden Core stage like her. He was thrown into the dungeon by Yuqing and tortured for such a long time, but he survived. If it were her today, could she hold on until others came to rescue her?
It's like character development: while attack power is important, defense and resistance are also essential. As the saying goes, if you can't beat them, you can run. By building up your physique, she at least has other options besides fighting.
Thinking of this, Tu Nian stood up with pain and ran straight to the end of the corridor.
"Master, I have something important to ask you!"
Tu Nian hurried in and looked around but couldn't see Nie Yanchen. He turned to look at Chu Qiurong, "Second Brother, where is Master?"
Seeing Tu Nianlai, Chu Qiurong was obviously startled, but quickly recovered and quickly stepped forward to help her sit down, "Junior Sister, why did you come here? Didn't Shan Cangzi ask you to rest more?"
"The internal injuries are almost healed. Only some superficial injuries remain. They will take some time to heal."
He ran so fast and his wound was hurting, so Tu Nian was busy grimacing and didn't notice that there was something wrong with his expression.
After recovering her composure, she suddenly looked up and saw the pitiful Yuqing trio huddled together, and Xu Ziqiao standing majestically before them. She immediately laughed, and putting aside her Master's concerns, she teased Xu Ziqiao, "Third Senior Brother, you've finally avenged the last time we shot you."
"They deserve it." After spitting with disdain, Xu Ziqiao left the three of them and sat back to drink tea.
Tu Nian suppressed his laughter and asked, "Did you find out anything?"
Putting down the teacup, Xu Ziqiao said, "Xiao Yunxiang was a bit stubborn and refused to say anything. But the other two were very cowardly. After taking one pill and then being questioned about the antidote, they confessed everything in no time."
