“Thank you for your kindness.” Chen Dao said indifferently, unable to find his previous sense of reckless self-confidence, feeling only silent despair.
It was only natural to feel this way after experiencing such a serious injury. If he had to lie in bed for the rest of his life as a handicapped person, then how would he be able to accept it? Perhaps he had never imagined that such a thing would ever happen to him, so it was completely unexpected. It had caught him off guard and he didn’t know how to deal with it.
“Senior Brother Chen, since I have entered the Sect, you have helped me numerous times. Now that you have encountered a problem, please let me help you!” She said softly: “Don’t refuse me so readily. Just try the treatment for a while. Really, just trust me.”
“The Sect’s doctors and alchemists have all said that it is impossible to heal, so how can you help me? Feng Jiu, don’t waste your time, it’s useless.”
“How do you know it will be useless before you’ve even tried it? There are many things in life that you have to try before you know, even if others tell you that it won’t work. Even if others extinguish the flame of your hope, you cannot let the flame in your heart go out.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao stared at her blankly: “Is there still hope for me? You don’t know this, but a fellow disciple from the same peak, I rescued someone once but he pushed me out to die, he was someone who used to call me Senior Brother…..”
“I know that human nature is selfish, but I never thought that someone whom I had once saved would not do as I once did but instead push me out to die in that moment of life and death. Hahahaha….. I deserve it! I deserve it! I saved someone who doesn’t deserve to be saved, I deserve it!”
As she watched his emotions change from yelling to crying to laughing, almost at the brink of insanity, Feng Jiu stepped forward and held him down: “Senior Brother Chen, you didn’t do anything wrong and it’s not your fault either. God won’t let you just lie here in bed unable to stand.”
“Get out! Get out! Get lost!”
He yelled, tears spilled from the corners of his eyes as he tried to push Feng Jiu away. However, in the next moment he went from screaming hysterically to sleeping calmly.
“Rest now! Leave the rest to me.”
Feng Jiu retracted the silver needle in her hand and looked down at the person who had fallen asleep. She was about to remove his clothes when she heard a voice drifting in from outside.
“They’re too snobbish! Each and every one of them are shameless! They don’t even care to think about what Senior Brother Chen used to be like. Now they look at his current state and are kicking him while he is down! So shameless!”
Feng Jiu turned around and looked at the person who had walked in and asked: “What’s the matter? Didn’t you say you were going to get a doctor? Why have you come back by yourself?”
“Hmph, those people are too shameless.” He stepped forward angrily and said: “I went to look for a doctor but none of them were willing to come, they all said that there was nothing that can be done and they refused to even come and take a look. They’re so snobbish!”
When she heard that, Feng Jiu smiled: ” It’s okay, it’s okay, it doesn’t matter that they’ve not come, as long as you’re here.”
“What do you mean?” Luo Heng asked: “I don’t have any medical knowledge, I can’t save Senior Brother Chen.”
“You don’t need to save him, you just need to help me take his clothes off and hold him up for me. I will realign the bones for him. I just need to realign the broken bones and then bandage him up with my secret ointment, he will be able to get out of bed and walk within three months.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Heng was in shock for a moment, then he scoffed: “Come on, if you really had the ability then you wouldn’t be an errand boy.”
