Chu Yue was extremely shocked when she saw the unconscious Qiao Rong. Moreover, the clothes of Qiao Rong and Shen Haofeng who were carrying the girl were drenched in blood. Especially when looking at the other minor injuries they can while fighting with the Nirwana Snake.
"God! Why did it come to this?!" Chu Yue shouted out in surprise. Face paled. He was very worried about Qiao Rong, I don't know what they did before to go home full of injuries like that.
Chu Yue helped Shen Haofeng to put Qiao Rong's body on the bed. Chu Yue immediately told Shen Haofeng to come out and prepare the cloth and warm water to change Qiao Rong's clothes and melted the traces of blood on his body. Chu Yue also immediately bandaged the light wounds that were on Qiao Rong's hands with bandages.
Shen Haofeng who was waiting outside the door could only wait for Jiang Junwei and hope that the man would come soon. Previously, Shen Haofeng had already told Jiang Junwei to summon Physician Luo. Physician Luo was a very great healer, Shen Haofeng's mainstay.
Chu Yue walked out of the room, and stared at Shen Haofeng angrily. "Actually what are you doing?! Why is she like that?!" Yet Shen Haofeng was completely unable to respond. He was at a loss what to say to Chu Yue. Finally the annoyed Chu Yue returned inside Qiao Rong's room.
Second by second, minute by minute. Shen Haofeng's wait felt like years.
Suddenly from the direction of the door came an elderly man who seemed to be in a hurry. Shen Haofeng who saw it immediately sighed in relief.
"Tabib Luo." Shen Haofeng clenched both his hands on his chest to give his greetings.
"Your Majesty.. Jiang Junwei told me everything. Where's the girl?" Physician Luo immediately asked after bowing slightly to reply to Shen Haofeng's greeting.
Shen Haofeng directly pointed towards Qiao Rong's room. Physician Luo simply nodded and walked in.
Jiang Junwei arrived a short while later and came to wait with Shen Haofeng outside. Chu Yue who was told to go out by Physician Luo opened the door and was confused when she saw the man outside the room had already increased by one person.
"Who else are you?" Chu Yue asked coldly.
Jiang Junwei who immediately cleared his throat after being stunned for a few seconds due to the appearance of Chu Yue immediately replied, "Ah.. Brother Shen Haofeng." Jiang Junwei then displayed his widest smile.
Chu Yue simply threw a look of indifference and returned to the kitchen to re-cook the lunch. He could only hope that Qiao Rong was not seriously injured and would come to his senses as soon as possible.
"Tabib Luo, how is he doing?" Shen Haofeng's guest with a worried tone.
"Your Majesty, even I who was with you have never heard you this worried." Physician Luo chuckled. Perhaps it was true what Jiang Junwei had said to him during the trip. That girl was the only woman so special to Shen Haofeng. "He needs a break. Almost forty percent of his organs were damaged as he nearly depleted his qi which impacted the severity of the consequences of Instant Cultivation Pills. After all, why could he dare to use such a pill?" The Physician Luo.
Shen Haofeng pondered for a while and felt extremely guilty. If he knew Qiao Rong would be reckless like that for his sake, he would never appear before the girl again and would not bring her along to take the Kunlun Fruit.
"It's.." Shen Haofeng was puzzled as Physician Luo handed the paper and the jade token over. On top of that jade token, engraved his name.
"This is a message from your teacher. He asked me to give it to you when the time was right. I guess now's the right time." Physician Luo replied with a sumringah smile. Then, he left back with Jiang Junwei.
Still standing in front of Qiao Rong's room, Shen Haofeng opened the paper and read it slowly. The contents of the paper were indeed filled with the handwriting of the person he so longed for.
"Shen Haofeng's. Grandfather knows, I won't be around much longer. But grandpa was worried, you never even communicated with anyone other than grandfather. Especially the opposite sex. I know, you've been doubting love from the beginning of your life. However, there is one thing that Grandpa never told you. When grandfather found a baby in the wilderness a dozen years ago, next to the baby lay the body of a woman who asked me to save her son while he was dying. If you want to find out about your family, your mother's jade token is the first clue." Shen Haofeng's eyes started to tear up after reading that sentence. He always thought that in his entire life, no one else cared about him like his teacher. Even his own family threw it away since the baby. But seeing the truth from the letter made him waver. But he continued to read the letter.
"You never lack love. When there is a woman who will be ready to sacrifice herself for you. Because you will know, someone loves you so much that he is willing to give his life for you. Learn to love her." Without realizing it, his tears had now fallen heavily onto his cheeks.
Shen Haofeng secretly swore that day in his heart, he would carry out that last sentence solemnly.
*****
After Shen Haofeng absorbed the energy from the Kunlun Fruit for four days, he could feel that the poison had already completely disappeared from his body. What astonished him was that his cultivation level had even increased. Right now, Shen Haofeng was already at the Late Heavenly level.
If counted from the day since they fought the Nirwana Snake, Qiao Rong had already been unconscious for ten days. For six days after absorbing the Kunlun Fruit, Shen Haofeng would visit Qiao Rong morning, noon, and night. That made Chu Yue confused. Although he was upset that Shen Haofeng brought Qiao Rong home injured, what does it mean that their relationship is progressing?
Chu Yue knew, if Qiao Rong found out that Shen Haofeng had always been painstaking in visiting her, that girl would be very happy. Maybe his heart could jump out of his chest. Chu Yue only chuckled lightly if she remembered that later. He would definitely tell Qiao Rong.
"Qiao Rong's..." Shen Haofeng would always call his name when he came to see the now-sleeping girl. Shen Haofeng hoped, by calling out his name, Qiao Rong would wake up. Since Shen Haofeng had always come, then the task of giving medicine had now turned into his responsibility.
One of the things he was good at was waiting. Shen Haofeng was able to wait for so long that he had enough strength to fight the Nirvana Snake. Yet for some reason, seeing Qiao Rong's hair, his eyelids, even the girl's pale fingers and face, time seemed to run for so long.
Jiang Junwei who saw his master's behavior every day felt very confident that Shen Haofeng was in love.
Healing from the Frozen Point Poison was a good thing. But the disease he is now suffering from causes a very strange pain. Shen Haofeng had always felt his chest pierced by small swords, yet no scars could be seen from his body.
On the eleventh day, Shen Haofeng came that morning as usual to feed the medicine to Qiao Rong. After two mouthfuls of medicine, Qiao Rong's eyes slowly opened.
The first thing Qiao Rong saw besides the room's backups was Shen Haofeng's smile.
