Chapter 69: Chapter 56 Visit

After handing over the sniper rifle, Li Yi’s treatment had improved significantly.

First, he was moved to a private hospital room, and someone even brought him his phone, allowing him to contact others. In addition, his medical treatment had also gotten much better, with better efficacy medications and an additional care staff member, and relatives were even allowed to visit.

Using the hand that could still move, Li Yi turned on his phone and checked the messages, finding many missed calls from friends and relatives.

In the family group chat, there were continuous messages, all discussing his situation.

"I’ve already asked around, Li Yi is fine now, being treated in the hospital. However, we don’t know which hospital yet."

"That’s good to hear, Li Yi’s life isn’t easy to begin with, and now to encounter such an incident. Let’s give money if we have money, and strength if we have strength, help out as much as we can."

"I’m at his place now, the scene is terrible, but luckily the medical pod is fine. Don’t worry, I live close to his parents, and I’ll take care of them."

Li Yi’s expression changed, seeing that his parents were being taken care of by relatives, he felt relieved.

He was about to reply with a message saying that he was safe when his phone, which he had just turned on, rang.

The caller was Lin Yue.

Without overthinking it, Li Yi answered immediately, "Hello, is this Sister Lin?"

"Finally got through to you. Li Yi, how are you now, are you alright?" Lin Yue sounded somewhat anxious.

"I’m fine, just lying in the hospital recuperating from my injuries," said Li Yi.

"Which hospital are you in? Uncle Biao and I want to come and visit you," Lin Yue said.

"Let me check which hospital it is, hold on," Li Yi then put the phone down and asked a care staff member, who quickly provided the answer.

"I’m in room 101, on the 10th floor of the Third Hospital’s inpatient department."

"Okay, wait for me, I’ll be right there," Lin Yue said and then immediately hung up the phone.

However, acting decisively indeed matched her personality.

Li Yi suddenly noticed a transaction message—the transfer was for a sum of eight million. This money was presumably the bounty for eliminating Wang Kui. He didn’t expect Wang Jian to act so swiftly; the bounty had been sent over just like that.

But this money didn’t belong to Li Yi, as he had previously promised to give it to Kong Sheng.

Even though Kong Sheng hadn’t contributed much force during this incident, his information was very timely and critical. Without Kong Sheng’s information, Li Yi wouldn’t have survived the assault, so Li Yi had to give him this money as well as the previously promised ten million.

Reflecting on this, he dialed Lv Jue’s number.

Because Lv Jue and Kong Sheng were good friends and close to each other.

"Li Yi? My God, is that really you? How are things on your end? I’ve heard from others that you’ve committed a big crime, taking out eight Cultivators, and that woman named Ning Wu almost died by your hand. Although I knew that night was dangerous, I didn’t expect it to be so perilous," Lv Jue’s shocked voice came through the phone.

"I’m well, no worries, just with some injuries lying in the hospital. Thank you for your timely warning, it helped me escape disaster," Li Yi gratefully stated.

"It’s good that you’re okay," Lv Jue replied. "It was just a coincidence on my part, all thanks to Kong Sheng. If he hadn’t asked me to remind you, I wouldn’t have known about it. By the way, how’s Kong Sheng doing now? He’s gone into the Investigative Bureau and I haven’t been able to contact him."

"Kong Sheng is fine, should be back in a few days. Also, I have some money for you to hold onto, remember to give it to Kong Sheng later, he knows what it’s about," Li Yi said.

"Why not wait for him to come back and give it to him personally?" Lv Jue asked.

"I have too many things to handle, and I don’t have Kong Sheng’s contact details," Li Yi replied.

"Alright then, transfer it to me first, and I’ll give it to him when he comes back," Lv Jue said. "By the way, I’ve already given the one million to Brother Tao and Zhang Gao’s families. They’re very grateful to you and asked me to thank you. Sigh, times are tough for everyone, it’s only been a few days and you’ve encountered such an incident again."

Li Yi didn’t speak, but transferred twenty million over, then said, "Lv Jue, eighteen million is for Kong Sheng, the remaining two hundred thousand is for you. Thanks for your help this time, otherwise I wouldn’t have survived."

"Money for me?" Lv Jue was surprised. "Li Yi, you really shouldn’t have, how can I take your money? Besides, I didn’t do much. Wait, I will transfer it back to you."

"Don’t worry, your Cultivation also needs money, and I’ve just received a bounty for Wang Kui, so I’m not short on cash at the moment. Speaking of the bounty, you also played a part in earning it. Alright, let’s leave it at that, accept this money, and once all this has settled, I’ll buy you dinner."

After finishing his talk, Li Yi hung up the phone, not giving Lv Jue a chance to respond.

On the other end of the phone, Lv Jue fell into silence for a moment.

Looking out the window, he couldn’t help but reflect, "I didn’t misjudge before, Li Yi is a man who is clear about gratitude and grudges, worth making a deep connection with. What I didn’t expect is that Li Yi’s progress is so terrifying; when I first met him, he was just a newcomer who had recently started Cultivation, and now he has become quite a figure."

"Indeed, the rise of a genius is just this rapid. I remember how Zhao Xiaoxiao and Wu Zhen mocked and bullied others. Now that they’ve heard about Li Yi, I wonder if they can sleep at night."

"Wait, I should have asked which hospital Li Yi is in, I need to pay him a visit."

Then, Lv Jue was startled into action.

At that moment, having put down his phone, Li Yi was still feeling the pain from the twenty million he had just spent.

It was not easy to make a trip to the dangerous zone, earn some money, and then spend it all before it even had time to warm his pocket. To say he wasn’t upset would be a lie.

But he knew very well that this money had to be spent, and he could not be stingy about it.

Thinking back on Crow and Ning Wu’s group, why they were now in complete disarray, having lost the mysterious objects that could have been theirs, wasn’t it because they had been too stingy at the crucial moment? Relying on their status as cultivators, they had thought they could take advantage of Li Yi and his friends. They didn’t want to pay and wanted the items, but in the end, they botched it up and ended up in the state they were in today.

So, Li Yi would never make that kind of mistake.

He stopped thinking about what had just happened and closed his eyes to rest quietly.

Although he was severely injured, Li Yi was now a cultivator with an evolved body, so his self-healing was very rapid. As long as he ensured enough nutrients and had plenty of time to recuperate, he estimated that he could recover completely in about ten days or so.

"It’s just a pity that I can’t practice cultivation right now, otherwise, combined with the cosmic energy inside that incomplete wonder, my body’s healing would be even faster," Li Yi thought to himself.

The half-piece of the Sword Coin was not on him at the moment; he had stashed away the mysterious objects on his person when he had hidden the sniper rifle.

This decision was correct.

Otherwise, the Incomplete Coin would have fallen into the hands of the investigation bureau during his unconsciousness, and things would have been much more complicated.

When evening came around,

the nursing staff woke Li Yi up to tell him that someone had come to visit.

After Li Yi woke up, it wasn’t long before Lin Yue and Uncle Biao walked into the ward, carrying fruit and nutritional products.

"Good, seeing how lively you look tells me you’re alright. You really gave me a scare, kid. How long have you been practicing cultivation, and yet you’ve already clashed with a group that had activated the Spirit Medium. Lucky for you, you were fierce enough to defeat them. Otherwise, how would we explain it to your dad?"

Uncle Biao immediately came over, checking around Li Yi and touching here and there.

"Not bad, no missing arms or legs, it looks like just fractures. It’s a minor injury. Cultivators heal quickly; in ten days to half a month, you’ll be as lively as a dragon again."

"Uncle Biao, where are you touching?" Li Yi hurriedly asked.

"Haha, I want to make sure those people didn’t use any underhanded tactics on you," Uncle Biao said with a laugh.

At that time, Li Yi noticed Lin Yue’s bandaged arm and quickly asked, "Sister Lin, what happened to your hand?"

"It’s nothing, just a minor injury," Lin Yue said. "Compared to your injuries, it’s not worth mentioning. Seeing that you’re fine, I’m relieved. You’re really fearless for someone new to cultivation, daring to challenge a Cultivator from the inspiration realm. It’s just that Ning Wu had only just broken through and hadn’t adapted to the changes in her senses. Otherwise, you’d definitely have been in trouble at her hands."

"After you took out the others, you should have fled immediately, waiting for the investigation bureau’s people to arrive. There was no need to fight to the death with Ning Wu."

Li Yi’s expression darkened, "She wanted me dead, and I wanted her dead. At that time, I didn’t think too much. It’s just a pity that in the end, I couldn’t take her down. Most likely, she will look for revenge in the future. It’s a hassle."

"Although I’ve heard that there are people protecting Ning Wu from behind, it won’t be easy for her to get away with such a big incident. You should worry about yourself first. By the way, I’ve brought you something this time." Suddenly, Lin Yue produced a box.

When the box was opened, it revealed a piece of clothing with strange patterns, seemingly made from the skin of some extraordinary creature, glinting with shifting light under the lamp’s illumination.

"What is this?" Li Yi asked curiously.

Lin Yue sighed and said, "This is a garment made from Qiu Dragon Skin, which I got from Yang Yilong. That Yang Yilong has indeed changed. He refused to give up the Guiding Skill and compensate you for the difference in price, so in the end, he fobbed this garment off on me. But don’t worry, I always keep my promises. I will find a way to get the Guiding Skill from another source. It’s not exclusive to him alone."

Li Yi looked at the clothes in the box and then at Lin Yue’s injured hand, immediately understanding, "Did Yang Yilong lay hands on you, Sister Lin? Are you alright, is it serious?"

"Just a minor scrape, not worth mentioning," Lin Yue immediately replied with a bright smile, not giving it much thought.

"Sorry, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this."

Li Yi looked at Sister Lin’s bandaged hand apologetically, but then his eyes turned serious again, "But Sister Lin, don’t worry. I’ve noted this debt, and I’ll definitely get even for you in the future."

"Li Yi, don’t be impulsive. Don’t go looking for trouble with Yang Yilong. His strength is formidable, and any conflict with him will only end badly for you. Besides, this conflict is between Yang Yilong and me, and it has nothing to do with you. Don’t take on every issue yourself," Lin Yue said, "What you need to do now is to focus on your cultivation, Practice Boxing, and don’t let other things distract you."

"With your mastery of Boxing Techniques, your potential has increased. Even if your Cultivation Value isn’t high, you still have a great future ahead. There’s no need to let little things affect that."

"I, I understand. I won’t trouble Yang Yilong when I’m not his match, but when the situation reverses one day, I’ll definitely help you teach him a harsh lesson, Sister Lin," said Li Yi.

Li Yi took a deep breath; he wasn’t oblivious to what was important, so he could only keep this matter in his heart.

Seeing this, Lin Yue instantly smiled, "That’s good to hear. Then work hard. I’m looking forward to the day when you surpass Yang Yilong."

"It will happen for sure."

Li Yi stated it with determination. Then, it suddenly occurred to him to ask something else, "Speaking of which, Sister Lin, there’s something I want to ask. An investigator named Wang Jian invited me to be an external combatant for the investigation bureau. Do you think I should accept?"
