Chapter 543: The Toll of Healing

"Let’s go, first find a place to recuperate."

Xiao Yi looked helplessly at Situ Qingfeng’s hehe chuckles, then supported him and headed towards Azure Waterfront.

"How did you get so seriously injured?"

After returning to the villa and laying Situ Qingfeng on the bed, Xiao Yi’s brows furrowed, a trace of confusion and puzzlement appearing on his face as he looked at Situ Qingfeng.

On their way back, he had already taken his pulse and basically understood the extent of his internal injuries, but after figuring them out, he was even more baffled. Situ Qingfeng’s injuries were more severe than he had imagined; several of his meridians had suffered considerable damage. However, from the nature of his wounds, it seemed that his opponent’s strength should not have been much greater than his, so in theory, Situ Qingfeng shouldn’t have been so severely injured, or even injured at all.

But not only had he been injured, he had been seriously hurt!

"I exchanged a tough blow with a guy who was near the peak of the Bone Tempering Period!"

Situ Qingfeng grinned and chuckled.

After speaking, as if he understood Xiao Yi’s confusion, he added, "If I hadn’t clashed with him, Zeng and the others might not have been able to escape, so I had to force him back to give them a chance to live."

"You..."

Hearing Situ Qingfeng’s words, Xiao Yi looked at the young man before him, not knowing what to say. This kid, even after so many years, was still as competitive and as stubborn as ever. He, a mere high-tier Bone Tempering practitioner, newly advanced at that, actually dared to confront and even attempt to repel an expert at the peak of Bone Tempering Period!

After a while, he sighed lightly and said, "If you want to live longer in the future, try not to be so reckless."

"Hehe, boss, if you had thought that way back then, I wouldn’t be alive now. It was through your actions that you showed me being a boss isn’t easy!"

Situ Qingfeng fell silent for a while before raising his head, looking at Xiao Yi with a pair of eyes no longer as spirited as before, and smiled.

"You... Rascal, I can’t argue with you, but your injuries are severe this time. I’m afraid it will take over a week to recover. Lie down here for a while; I’m going to get you some medicine."

Xiao Yi had not expected Situ Qingfeng to say such a thing. Listening to him, his expression froze for a moment as he looked into those sincere eyes filled with respect and gratitude. His own eyes revealed a complex emotion. In that moment, he realized how high a place he held in Situ Qingfeng’s heart, how profound his influence on him had been... His heart was touched by an indescribable sentiment, and he wanted to say something, but after all, he was not a man good at expressing himself. He simply shook his head, smiled bitterly, and turned towards the villa’s doorway.

If Situ Qingfeng were brought to a hospital now, those experts would take x-rays and initiate treatment. His condition would definitely warrant admission to the intensive care unit, perhaps even immediate emergency care. Many doctors would certainly be shocked and bewildered as to how Situ Qingfeng was still alive, for inside his body, almost all five of his vital organs were bleeding, with his spleen in particularly severe hemorrhage.

But to Xiao Yi, this injury, although serious, was not considered to be particularly grave. Compared to Liu Jingling’s previous injuries, Situ Qingfeng’s condition could only be regarded as moderate.

Moreover, getting the medicine for Situ Qingfeng this time wasn’t as troublesome as it was during Liu Jingling’s situation. Xiao Yi was able to find all the herbs he needed in a well-known pharmacy nearby.

Unlike the emergency treatment he gave to Liu Jingling, Xiao Yi didn’t immediately resort to the most effective method of acupuncture for Situ Qingfeng. Instead, after buying the medicine, he concocted a dose and had Situ Qingfeng take it first. Only after that did he begin to apply acupuncture.

Actually, for an internal injury sufferer like him, this method of treatment was most appropriate and most effective.

Because, in the time that followed, Xiao Yi’s acupuncture would disperse the medicinal power to the greatest extent, allowing the medicine to exert its maximum effect. The dual approach accelerated the recovery of the injuries.

It was just that Liu Jingling’s condition had been too serious before, so it was impossible to use this method.

"Boss, your medical skill is truly divine. I feel much better now. Even those Imperial Physicians from the court wouldn’t hold a candle to you. If I didn’t know that your medical skill couldn’t be passed on, I would really like to learn it from you," Situ Qingfeng said.

Right after the acupuncture session, Situ Qingfeng felt as though his injuries had already healed significantly. The previous fatigue was swept away, and while he was lying in bed with his eyes slightly closed as instructed by Xiao Yi, he couldn’t help but open his eyes with a look of amazement towards Xiao Yi.

However, upon this glance, the excitement and astonishment on his face froze, "Boss, what happened to you?"

Xiao Yi was actually pale as if he had been through a severe illness or suffered a major blood loss.

"It’s nothing," Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "You rest here for a while. I need to go back to my room and regulate my breathing."

"Boss, you..."

Situ Qingfeng was not a foolish man. Otherwise, he would not have become a renowned authority in the realm of criminal investigation at such a young age, becoming the legendary Famous Catcher. In just a moment, he roughly understood the situation.

Although he did not know the specifics of how Xiao Yi came to be this way, he knew that Xiao Yi had become like this because of treating his injuries!

Thinking about how Xiao Yi had gone through such hardships and expended so much effort to save him, an indescribable sense of gratitude surged through him once again. He wanted to express his thanks, but in the end, he choked up. He felt that if he spoke those words, it would be too...

There are some things that don’t need to be said, only remembered in the heart!

If one day something were to happen to the boss, and I, Situ Qingfeng, do not rush to the forefront and give it my all, may thunder strike me!

Situ Qingfeng’s fists clenched tightly, his heart silently reciting this vow.
