Sage of Humanity

When Hua Ci hurried back to Mount Ying, Ruan Lingyu came up to meet her.

"What's the situation?" she asked.

Ruan Lingyu said solemnly, "The injuries are very severe." Having never seen someone so badly injured in her life, she found it strange that Lu Ye was still alive. It could be said that there was almost no part of Lu Ye's body that was intact. Such injuries made living more painful than death.

"Are you Senior Sister Hua Ci? Please, I beg you to save Lu Ye." Yiyi came forward, looking up at Hua Ci with a face full of pleading.

Looking in the direction of her voice, Hua Ci was slightly startled. Lu Ye had come alone last time, but this time a sweet-looking girl had brought him.

There was also a huge big tiger lying on the ground beside them, the tiger originally should have been all-white, but the fresh blood had dyed half of its body red.

It just lay there, its chest and abdomen heaving...

Hua Ci didn't waste words but asked, "Where is the person?"

Ruan Lingyu said, "In the place where he stayed before."

"I'll go take a look."

Shortly after, in the bamboo building where Lu Ye had previously stayed, Hua Ci saw the youth who seemed to have been constructed from fresh blood. Even though she was accustomed to seeing injured cultivators, she couldn't help but frown.

These injuries... were excessively severe.

She approached to examine Lu Ye's condition, frowning even more deeply.

Just then, the unconscious Lu Ye gradually came to, opening his eyes and hazily staring at the woman sitting beside him.

As their eyes met, Hua Ci chuckled, "Who is this? It seems we're really fated to meet again so soon."

Lu Ye felt somewhat embarrassed... After all, leaving without saying goodbye last time was indeed quite improper.

"Such severe wounds, even gods would struggle to save you," Hua Ci slowly shook her head, using the softest voice to deliver the most heartfelt words, "If you have any last words, say them quickly, it will be too late later."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Wow..." Standing by, Yiyi immediately burst into loud tears.

Ruan Lingyu also felt a twinge in her nose, her eyes reddened, unable to resist, she embraced Yiyi, allowing her to vent her emotions against her chest.

"Scaring... a child for what?" Lu Ye weakly said, "Don't listen to her... nonsense."

He tremblingly reached into his storage sack, pulling out a bottle of elixir pills.

Hua Ci said, "If I say you're beyond saving, then you really are beyond saving. Quickly drag him out and bury him."

Lu Ye took out another bottle of elixir pills...

Hua Ci hummed softly, discreetly pocketing the two bottles of elixir pills, and said indifferently, "It's not that we can't try to save him." Turning to Ruan Lingyu, she instructed, "Lingyu, go boil a pot of hot water." She then looked at Yiyi, "You stay and help."

Ruan Lingyu immediately responded and rushed out, leaving Yiyi standing there, at a loss.

She looked towards Lu Ye and noticed that he had passed out again at some point.

"He won't die!" Hua Ci kept pulling things out of her storage sack, preparing, "Help me take off his clothes!"

"Take... take off his clothes?" Yiyi was shocked.

"He is covered in injuries, how can we save him without taking off his clothes? If you want him to die, then we can leave them on."

"I'll do it!" Yiyi immediately responded, with a demeanor as if she were about to strip herself, she gritted her teeth and walked to the bed with a tragic stride.

The hot water was quickly ready, and Hua Ci had already started treating Lu Ye. The entire room was filled with a flowing emerald light, a light that brought warmth and fostered life.

Ruan Lingyu, with a flushed face, ran outside to stand by the door, ready to heed any instructions, while Yiyi, under Hua Ci's guidance, took the hot water and cleaned the dirt near Lu Ye's wounds.

The busy work continued until midday before ceasing.

Compared to his previous injuries, the ones Lu Ye had this time seemed more severe and frightening, but

actually, they were much better, as he had been cut by a sharp weapon, unlike last time when he was injured by magic and spells, the two situations were not the same.

The wounds were numerous, so treating them was rather troublesome.

Hua Ci wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned to Yiyi, and asked, "Should that big tiger outside be treated?"

Yiyi nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken, "Yes."

In just this half day, she had witnessed Hua Ci's medical skills firsthand. Under her treatment, Lu Ye's breathing had become much steadier, and although his face was still pale, it was better than before. She knew then that this beautiful senior sister before her was a healing cultivator.

Amber was also injured, but the injuries were not as severe as Lu Ye's. As the minion spirit born alongside Amber, she could clearly sense Amber's condition.

"Then we'll add the consultation fee to his account," said Hua Ci, stepping out the door. Moments later, sounds of Amber grunting could be heard outside.

A full day later, Lu Ye woke up again.

His body felt very weak, and pain was everywhere, especially in his right lung, but he knew this was a good sign. If his right lung had remained numb, that would have been far more troublesome.

"Lu Ye, you're awake!" Yiyi's voice came, her face quickly approached, looking at him joyously.

Lu Ye gave her a faint smile and tried to sit up, but lacked the strength. Yiyi took the initiative to help him sit up and lean against the bedhead.

Gazing around, he saw Hua Ci sitting beside him with a bowl of green medicinal solution in her hand.

Lu Ye's expression soured.

"Now that you're awake, drink the medicine," Hua Ci leaned forward, passing the solution to him.

Lu Ye tried to lift his hand but couldn't, so he could only look helplessly at her.

Hua Ci sighed and stood up to come over. She fed Lu Ye the medicinal solution, muttering as she did, "The medicine is one elixir pill."

"Cough cough cough…" Lu Ye nearly choked to death. This woman's heart was truly set on money.

"Dare to spit it out, and I'll stuff the bowl in your mouth!" Hua Ci said with a smile, her tone gentle as water.

Yiyi looked at Hua Ci incredulously, as if seeing her in a new light.

After the medicine, Hua Ci checked Lu Ye's condition and nodded, "Having abundant blood Qi is good, your recovery is faster than others."

Hua Ci had said this before, Lu Ye's blood Qi was far stronger than that of other cultivators at the same level, which initially made her suspect that Lu Ye might choose the path of a physique cultivator.

"Then let's start today's treatment," Hua Ci clapped her hands. Discover more stories at empire

Yiyi immediately walked outside.

Lu Ye was confused until Hua Ci lifted the bedding, and he realized he was not wearing any clothes. Fortunately, he was thoroughly bandaged, indeed wrapped up like a true rice dumpling.

A green light began to flicker, as Lu Ye lay on the bed, feeling the pain and numbness at his wounds.

"Didn't you say your name was Yiye?" Hua Ci suddenly spoke up. "Why does that little girl call you Lu Ye?"

Lu Ye had spent half a month here previously and had naturally informed Hua Ci of his name.

"My surname is Lu, styled Yiye," Lu Ye explained earnestly.

"Is that so," responded Hua Ci casually.

"Hiss…" Suddenly Lu Ye felt a searing pain in his back.

"Oops, my hand slipped, sorry about that." Hua Ci chuckled.

"You cut that out!" Lu Ye felt pain in his lungs from anger.

"That's not the attitude a patient should have towards a healer," Hua Ci's tone turned soft.

Lu Ye's expression darkened, sensing something quite ominous.
