Demoness, where are you Fleeing to? -

Chapter 296: 251
Jiang Hanyun didn’t think much, she held up the drowsy Li Xuan and started flying towards Jiang’s clinic.
But halfway there, she heard Lady Jiang shout: "No, your father should be at home now, I remember he said he was going to practice at home."
Xue Yunrou who was following behind felt something was off, but at this time, it was only natural to seek the help of her uncle, Jiang Yunqi, to diagnose and treat Li Xuan.
She would have liked to take Li Xuan from Jiang Hanyun, but could not catch up.
Li Xuan, who was gradually regaining consciousness, was filled with regret. He thought to himself, what about my second, third, and home bases?
I’m really okay, just give me a pill to replenish my energy, and I can still fight!
But the feeling of weakness and dizziness engulfing him made it impossible for him to speak.
By the time everyone arrived at the Jiang’s house, Jiang Yunqi was already waiting by the gate. He had received the flying letters from Mrs. Jiang and Quan Dingtian, and had heard about Li Xuan’s fainting.
After he took Li Xuan’s pulse in the hall, his brows furrowed lightly and he fell into deep thought.
"What’s the situation?"
Quan Dingtian, who had followed them, asked anxiously, "Please enlighten me, no matter what kind of elixir is needed, it will be borne by our Guozi Bureau."
This person was invited by him to the Guozi Bureau and was involved in the fight for the reputation and dignity of Confucianism. As a leader of the Guozi Bureau, he naturally had to take responsibility.
"It’s trouble, it’s trouble ——"
Jiang Yunqi continued to muse while sneaking a glance at his wife’s expression, then he looked at the doorway with furrowed brows, a look of difficulty on his face.
Just as everyone was feeling increasingly uneasy and impatient, Lady Quan Dingtian, along with Leng Yurou, hurriedly walked in.
It was then that Jiang Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke solemnly, "It’s due to an overdrive of his life forces, and the residual effects of Li Zhetian’s violent swordplay. Although it was only a small remnant, it was from a heavenly level, not to be underestimated. Furthermore, there’s a rush of frosty energy in his body, which exacerbates the situation.
If it hadn’t been for the students of Guozi Bureau to use their Hao Qi to suppress it, he would have collapsed like a mountain. It’s not surprising at all that he had to pay such a high price to fight against the Knife Demon, Li Zhetian with his frail body of the fourth level house."
Jiang Yunqi was actually quite surprised internally, as he figured that Li Xuan wouldn’t have been able to hold up so long after the fight.
Therefore, he went to the Guozi Bureau immediately after to be prepared to save him. But after waiting for one hour, Li Xuan seemed completely fine. However, when he presumed that his estimate was wrong and returned home, Li Xuan had fallen unconscious due to serious injuries.
Jiang Yunqi guessed that there must have been some power helping Li Xuan suppress the residual ’yi’ of Li Zhetian’s sword, which disappeared suddenly at some points.
Moreover, the frosty energy in his body had actually decreased quite a bit this time.
"May I ask Mr. Jiang, is my son’s life in danger?" Mrs. Liu’s face had turned pale, her hands tightly clutching her sleeves, "How severe are Xuan’s injuries? Please tell us, Mr. Jiang!"
"Actually, the situation is not that bad, looking at his injury, it doesn’t seem to be serious——"
On seeing Mrs. Liu trembling and about to faint, Jiang Yunqi felt a bit sorry to lie.
But before he could finish speaking, he heard Lady Jiang coughing heavily at the side. She also sent him two knife-like glances.
Jiang Yunqi was startled and immediately switched his tone, adding emphasis: "The key point is the aftermath! Aftermath! The situation within Li Xuan’s body is extremely complicated. His life force is weak, the residual ’yi’ of the sword is lingering, and the frosty energy is thick. These three entities are twisted and rooted within him, changing unpredictably.
In short, any of these three problems if not handled properly, would lead to endless trouble. Minor cases would result in impotence, severe cases in paralysis, and he might even lose his life soon. At this point, he needs a highly skilled physician to regulate his condition, heal his vitality, and ensure his future worry-free."
For some reason, his face was flushing suspiciously, and he couldn’t look Mrs. Liu straight in the eyes.
On hearing the phrase ’minor cases would result in impotence’, Li Xuan was startled and was wondering if his condition was really that serious?
Mind you, he wisely utilized Yu’s protective power, and the Hao Qi of many students of the Guozi Bureau to cleanse and dissipate the cold evil in his body.
Therefore, despite the fact that he had expended considerable life force, theoretically, his lifespan should have been significantly extended. Could he really not live at least a few more months?
How could things be so critical? He didn’t want to learn "The Immaculate Scripture".
"Is it really that serious?" Mrs. Liu was also panic-stricken, but she then remembered, Isn’t the person right in front of her the recognized first medical genius in Jiangnan, a man who was proficient in medical arts and ranked among the top three physicians in the world?
"May I ask if Mr. Jiang is free lately to personally treat and take care of Xuan? Be assured, regardless of whether Xuan can recover or not, Earl’s mansion will offer a substantial reward."
She knew that this request was over the top; asking a high-level expert who was currently challenging the heavenly level to make time for her children’s health was entirely inappropriate.
But in this land of Jiangnan, could she find another national expert apart from Jiang Yunqi?
"This?" Jiang Yunqi, twirling his beard, seemed a little hesitant. After a long pause, he finally revealed, "It is possible indeed. However, I don’t have the time to make house calls, so he has to stay in my house for constant care. I wonder if madam could accept that?"
"Of course." Mrs. Liu was overjoyed and nodded vigorously, "Acceptable, very acceptable. But how long exactly would it take?"
"Two weeks—" Jiang Yunqi was about to say that around two weeks should be enough. But as soon as he spoke, Lady Jiang stepped on his foot without changing her expression.
Jiang Yunqi immediately got the message and smoothly corrected himself without changing his expression: "Two weeks is still too short. To really ensure that there’s no risk, it will take at least three months? He must stay at my house during these three months. Of course, the exact time depends on how well he recovers. If he gets injured in the meantime, the time might have to be extended."
"We will follow your advice entirely!"
At this point, Mrs. Liu thought, whatever the doctor says is considered the ultimate truth. It’s best to wait until Li Xuan has fully recovered before returning home.
— This person is almost at the end of his rope, this is no small matter.
She then looked at Lady Jiang with some apology: "I just wonder, wouldn’t that be too much of an inconvenience to your house?"
"How could that be?" Mrs. Jiang flicked her sleeve carelessly and said with a smile, "Lady Li, why would you say so? Didn’t I mention before? The moment I saw Xuan, I felt a fondness for him. Besides, my Hanyun also gets along considerably well with Xuan. It won’t be a problem if he stays at my house for a while. You just relax. My husband and I will ensure that this child is well taken care of."
Jiang Yunqi nodded a little and began to write the prescription: "Since madam agrees, then I’ll start the acupuncture for him. Hanyun, go to the pharmacy and get Li Xuan’s medicine according to my prescription."
At this moment, Quan Dingtian glanced sideways at the prescription written by Jiang Yunqi and found out that they were all warming and nourishing herbs with gentle medicinal properties.
After a glance at Jiang Yunqi and Mrs. Jiang, then looking back at Mrs. Liu and Xue Yunrou, he understood and couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
He intended to give his excuse and leave, but after a thought, he decided to stay a bit longer to show respect to his friend.
Xue Yunrou’s lovely face was changing from pale to white. With her sharp intelligence, she was naturally able to observe that something was amiss.
But she was unable to get a word in. Firstly, the elder ones were having a conversation without giving her the chance to speak.
Secondly, the worried expression on Mrs. Liu’s face left her helpless.
Was she supposed to tell her aunt that her uncle, the current national expertise doctor Jiang Yunqi, is very likely fooling you, and that Li Xuan is most probably fine?
Even if she wasn’t completely sure, Aunt Li definitely wouldn’t believe her.
Speaking rashly at this time would only gain Aunt Li’s resentment.
Li Xuan’s health was probably more important than anything else at this moment.
At this moment, Mrs. Jiang looked at her with a smiling face, "Ah, Yunrou! Look, it’s getting late. If you don’t hurry back home, your mother will be worried."
Xue Yunrou’s heart dropped. She frowned and looked at Li Xuan with concern, "I will stay at my aunt’s house tonight, I won’t go back. Li is severely injured, and I’m a bit worried. If I stay here, I can help to take care of him. As for my mother, someone can inform her."
"Nonsense!"
Mrs. Jiang suddenly hardened her expression, coldly harrumphed, and alarmed everyone present, "A girl from my Xue family, how could stay outside overnight, how could be so out of line? Someone come, escort the young lady home."
Xue Yunrou was stunned. She thought to herself, my aunt really went ahead and did it.
That was a bit too much. What’s wrong with staying at my aunt’s house for one night? I’m out of line for that? This is absolutely bullying!
Mrs. Liu was also taken aback. Inwardly, she was hoping Xue Yunrou could stay. But after all, this was the Jiang House, and she had no right to interfere.
And the moment when Xue Yunrou, feeling helpless, stomped her foot angrily and left in a huff, Mrs. Jiang turned to Jiang Hanyun, who had just hurried back with medicine, and said, "Why did you bring the medicine here? Go and prepare it for Li Xuan. You have learned medicine from your father for a year. Out of everyone in the house, you are the most reliable when it comes to preparing medicine.
Wait a moment, first have a cup of tea for Auntie Li. Also, have someone prepare hot water for Xuan, then clean his body. I can see he has a lot of blood on him."
Jiang Hanyun was stunned, thinking to herself, am I being treated like a maid?
Li Xuan, meanwhile, was watching Yunrou leave with a regretful expression. He felt as if the distance between him and the home plate had grown long again.
At this moment, Jiang Yunqi spoke, "Next, I’m going to remove the Yi of the sword left by Li Zhetian from you. This process will be very painful. I know you are tenacious, but it’s not necessary to endure."
He inserted a needle as long as a finger into the back of Li Xuan’s head, and then Li Xuan lost consciousness again.
