The Eternal System
System 49: Healing
The healing is over. Li Chen whose strength had been drained was sitting leaning against the wall. The room had been shattered to such an extent due to the effects of the demonic energy waves present on Gong Qiao's body that were bursting out continuously.
[Mission - healing the demon curse has been completed ]
[Hosts get rewards in the form of status points and EXP ]
All of Li Chen's status had been increased when he saw the notification from the system. However, what was more important to him was when Li Chen saw the title of the mission. He became even more convinced, that he had already solved the problem of the demon curse on Gong Qiao's body.
Gong Qiao's mother she laid beside him slowly. Gong Qiao himself lay down again and his consciousness disappeared. The entire demon curse is seen disappearing and there is no sign that it will come back.
“For now, I don't think that demon curse will be active again..”.
Suddenly, the door of the room opened hard.
BRAK….!!
Li Chen who was surprised turned his head and opened his eyes wide to the side. There, he saw Shang Li, elder Gong, Gong Qiao's father and Ying Yue coming into the room.
Their faces looked panicked. And Ying Yue was the first to approach him.
“Li Chen!” said Ying Yue
Li Chen was shocked when he saw the look on Ying Yue's face that was panicked and filled with cold sweat. He smiled and answered her.
“I'm fine. Just a mistake,”
While saying that, Li Chen raised his finger and pointed towards Gong Qiao.
“Which is more important, please check their condition”
Li Chen's words made elder Gong and Shang Li run towards Gong Qiao. While Gong Qiao's father immediately approached his wife.
Elder Gong and Shang Li were standing right beside Gong Qiao's bed. They both saw him lying upside down and unconscious. However, the condition of his body looks calmer and there are also no more black curse spots on his body.
Elder Gong who saw this immediately turned his head towards Shang Li.
“Shang Li!”
“I understand!”
Shang Li immediately fused open both of his palms and aimed right in front of Gong Qiao's body.
The energy Ki started emitting out resembled an aura directly entering Gong Qiao's body. It was a technique that Shang Li had to examine or diagnose the body of someone who was sick.
And when Shang Li in the middle did so, both eyes were closed as if trying to focus uncontrollably wide open as if in disbelief.
“Must be... his demon curse... has disappeared!”.
Shang Li's words made everyone in the room stunned and turned towards him. His eyes were wide open and his mouth could not close as if his words were hard to come out.
“Shang Li, are you really sure the curse is gone?!” ask Gong Qiao's father
“Tu-tuan.. Although I can not do healing on young lady, but this is really real. My examination is not wrong and.. demon curse young lady is no longer active sign anymore!” shang Li's
Unthought out. Elder Gong and Shang Li could not understand how it could be done. Even Shang Li himself who had a high degree in medicine was unable to cure Gong Qiao. While Li Chen who had just come suddenly could instantly heal him.
“(How to?! A new student who had not been there for a week came to the academy, turned out to have outstanding medical abilities! Li Chen... Who exactly are you?!)”
Shang Li sat in confusion over Li Chen's great ability to heal a demonic curse on Gong Qiao's body. While Gong Qiao's father who heard the happy news immediately turned his head and bowed in thanks to Li Chen.
“Tu-sir, please raise your head! I didn't completely remove the demon curse. I just put the point so that the interval from its activity can be affordable in far away” said Li Chen who felt bad for Gong Qiao's father
Although it was a form of gratitude, but Li Chen could not accept someone more senior than him bowing right before him.
Gong Qiao's father immediately raised his head and looked towards Li Chen. So did elder Gong who walked over and approached him.
“Li Chen, without you my grandson would be gone by now. You saved his life. That's not gonna change. Thank you!” said elder Gong who joined in bowing thanks to Li Chen
Li Chen felt that it was not necessary for seniors like them to do it. However, Ying Yue who stood up and helped him stand beside also nodded softly at him.
“This is their thanks form. You will only make them feel guilty if you ignore them, so it's fine Ying Yue said
Ying Yue's words made Li Chen understand the feelings of elder Gong and also Gong Qiao's father. Therefore, he did not ask the two of them to raise their heads until they themselves did so.
When that was done, Shang Li walked over to Li Chen with a look of guilt.
“Bocah... forgive me..”.
Li Chen was stunned when he heard Shang Li apologize to him.
“Eh?”
“Before I doubted you. It even humbled you right before Ying Yue in the dragon room. But now, you've shown me that I'm wrong. You are a great person, and I thank you for helping me cover up the shortcomings of not being able to handle young lady's illness!”
Shang Li's words at that time sounded completely different. Li Chen was stunned silent and looked at him intently as if still in disbelief when he heard that remark.
Shang Li pulled his gaze towards Ying Yue and pointed in submission to her.
“Ying Yue, forgive me for demeaning you and your student”
“Already, Shang Li. Everyone can never be wrong. Forget all that and just assume it never happened, huh?”
Ying Yue put a thin smile on her face that was so beautiful. Shang Li who saw his kind-hearted response felt saved regardless of what he had said.
On the other hand, Ying Yue who was beside Li Chen was looking at him who was still speechless.
“Hey, are you okay?” ask Ying Yue
“Ah... it's okay..” Li Chen's
“You need a break, don't push yourself anymore. Let me take you back to boarding” said Ying Yue
“Sorry, troublesome..” Continue Li Chen
Before Li Chen turned around and walked out together with Ying Yue, elder Gong called back to him.
“Li Chen”
His stalled footsteps made him look back.
“Jka you need anything, do not hesitate to say it” said elder Gong
Hearing elder Gong saying that instantly made Li Chen smile as the grateful feeling of elder Gong flowed into him.
“Thank you, elder Gong” said Li Chen
