“In fact, your brother is a good person.” She said something unexpected.
Xie Shisi laughed as soon as she heard this. “Yes, yes. My brother is very kind. He treats me very well. When I was little, whenever others bullied me, he would fight with them. People in the town where we used to live called him ‘Little Overlord’.”
Feng Jiu smiled at her and said, “Remove the bandage from your feet! I’ll examine it.”
Xie Shisi was taken aback. “Do you want to see it right away? In fact, my foot is only sprained. I think it will get better tomorrow.”
“Mm, I’ll take a look when your brother isn’t around, so he won’t think I’m taking advantage of you when he gets back.” Feng Jiu smiled and said.
When Xie Shisi heard this, she smiled and said, “You won’t take advantage of me.”As she talked, she took off her shoes and the cloth that had been wrapped around her feet. However, after being bandaged for a full day, the skin where the medicine was applied was wrinkly.
Xie Shisi gasped when Feng Jiu touched her foot. “It still hurts when touched.”
Feng Jiu covered the wound with her hand and looked at Xie Shisi when she heard this. “Are you scared after seeing these things on this trip?”
“I’m scared, but I’m not as scared when you’re around.”
Xie Shisi stated truthfully while looking at Feng Jiu. “I was scared when I fell into this place, but not when you and my big brother arrived. I was terrified as well when I saw the wolves just now. I’ve never seen so many wolves before. Even though they are strong, those people have been severely injured. I thought for sure we were going to die!”
As Feng Jiu talked to her, the hand that was on Xie Shisi’s ankle turned just a little bit. In the dim night, no one saw a blue light coming from under her hand and slowly moving into Xie Shisi’s ankle.
“It’s fine now. You can’t always use medicine to bind this foot. Allow it to breathe.” Feng Jiu motioned for her to put on her boots while she retrieved the water and washed her hands.
The elderly man and the middle-aged man returned, and they were also hurt, especially the elderly man, who turned pale and his grey robes became stained with blood.
Guo Xinning greeted them and helped the elderly man take a seat. Looking at the injured Guo family, the elderly man coughed and asked, “How many people have died and how many are injured?”
“Please be at ease, Great Elder. There were no fatalities, but several of the disciples were badly hurt while the rest were moderately injured.” Guo Xinning stated.
The elder who had just sat up stood up again and said, “I’ll go take a look.”
“Great Elder, you’ve been hurt as well, so sit down and rest.” The middle-aged man said, holding him down and refusing to release him.
Guo Xinning was stunned when he noticed blood seeping from the elder’s shoulder, but because the clothes were not torn. He asked with surprise, “Is the Great Elder badly hurt?”
“For fear of causing you concern, we only returned after the wound was casually bandaged and the clothes were changed.” The middle-aged man sighed as he looked at the pale great elder.
When Guo Xinning heard this, his heart plummeted. He feared that the great elder was severely injured.
“Alright, I’m fine. I’ll just have a rest.” The elderly man spoke and gestured, “Go and visit with the others! I have no need for you here.”
Despite his concern, Guo Xinning yielded and went to see the others.
Except for Xie Shisi, no one noticed Feng Jiu, dressed in azure, walking around with a stride in the dark night…
