Chapter 203: Chapter 201: What’s Going On?!
In the grand hall.
All eyes were focused on Leng Ruyu.
Su Xihe was a bit worried.
If Leng Ruyu’s condition doesn’t improve, it may indicate that the tensions between Cyan Mountain Sect and Demon Sect could worsen.
Liu Zixiao then glanced at Su Xiyue.
She couldn’t understand why Su Xiyue would have Qin Yu heal Leng Ruyu.
Although Qin Yu is quite talented and can already refine elixirs, if the Black Qi could be dispelled with elixirs, would the Demon Sect need to send Leng Ruyu to Cyan Mountain Sect?!
She looked at Leng Ruyu again, and her brows furrowed immediately.
Leng Ruyu’s condition didn’t seem to be improving; she even appeared very weak.
Could it be that Qin Yu had merely messed around?!
Nonsense!
Liu Zixiao was already secretly on guard.
That’s why she had called the Great Elder over.
"Yu’Er, how do you feel?" Leng Feng asked, still somewhat worried.
"Much better."
To avoid worrying her father, Leng Ruyu managed a soft smile.
However, her somewhat hoarse voice made Leng Feng’s brows furrow deeply.
Hoarse voice, and so exhausted...
What was going on?!
Was it to dispel the Black Qi?
Indeed, the Black Qi had already taken deep root within Leng Ruyu, and dispelling it would surely not be simple.
Perhaps it required scraping the bones and carving the flesh!
Even worse...
Otherwise, why would his always-strong daughter, who hadn’t uttered a sound during those months of suffering from Black Qi, now have a hoarse throat?!
Thinking of everything Leng Ruyu had endured, Leng Feng’s hatred towards Hundred Sword Sect deepened a bit more.
However, Su Xihe and Liu Zixiao have different opinions!
Leng Ruyu’s condition was exactly like Su Xiyue’s back then!
Starting with Liu Zixiao.
She initially froze, then seemingly remembered something, and her pupils showed a trace of incredulity.
Previously, she only speculated on Su Xiyue’s situation. Until the day before yesterday, she saw her sect’s Saintess enter Qin Yu’s dwelling and stay out all night.
What happened was clear at a glance.
And now, this situation appeared in Leng Ruyu, how could she not be shocked?!
Wasn’t Qin Yu supposed to be treating Leng Ruyu?
At this moment, she even gave the Great Elder a look, fearing Leng Ruyu might say something.
What if the Demon Sect demanded Qin Yu as a result...
Indeed, although he had certainly made mistakes, Cyan Mountain Sect couldn’t possibly not protect him.
But, this disciple was too daring to even dare offend the Sect Leader’s senior sister of the Demon Sect?!
Su Xihe did know some inside information.
Dispelling the Black Qi might be related to the so-called mystical fortune.
Yet Leng Ruyu’s current situation still confused the Sect Leader.
She glanced at her sister suspiciously, only to find Su Xiyue looking very calm, as if nothing had happened.
As the Sect Leader was contemplating, the Demon Sect leader cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Sect Leader Su!"
Su Xihe was taken aback.
Then she quickly realized that Leng Ruyu’s condition had eased.
Does that mean her sister indeed shared the mystical fortune with Leng Ruyu?!
This mystical fortune...
Can actually be shared?!
The Sect Leader’s mind momentarily wavered.
She truly hadn’t intended to seize her sister’s fortune, but her curiosity about it was growing.
What is it?
Her sister wouldn’t say, and that disciple refused to speak!
Previously, it was merely explainable, and she couldn’t pursue it, but now even an outsider like Leng Ruyu knows, shouldn’t she as the elder sister know too?!
Once back at the dwelling, she must ask properly.
"Thank you Fairy Xiyue!"
Even as the Demon Sect leader, Leng Feng also bowed to Su Xiyue.
Liu Zixiao was shocked!
But not because of his humble action, but because Leng Ruyu’s condition had actually improved!
Does this mean Qin Yu really has a way to dispel the Black Qi, yet made some unbelievable demands, and Leng Ruyu agreed?
This isn’t impossible.
After all, Qin Yu already has numerous Dao Companions, and his preference in this regard is evident to onlookers.
Even has ambiguous relations with their own Saintess.
It also proves he indeed dares!
Wait.
Back then when Su Xiyue was severely injured in Lin Xian City, was she also healed by Qin Yu?!
Quite likely.
Otherwise, how could their own Saintess give Qin Yu special attention?
If it’s so.
Then what about the Sect Leader?
These days, Liu Zixiao was highly anxious; though Su Xihe looks fine now, she’s actually just barely holding on.
No matter what, the Sect Leader is also Qin Yu’s master with the grace of guidance; how could he ignore his gravely injured master?!
Going back, he must be properly spoken to.
The only one slightly relieved was the Great Elder of Cyan Mountain Sect.
He glanced at the weakened, seemingly struggling to even stand, Leng Ruyu; considering the two Immortal Sects, he spoke:
"Demon Master, I see your honor’s daughter’s injuries have only slightly improved, why not have the Saintess continue treating her for a while?"
Words out.
Immediately, Su Xihe and Su Xiyue’s gazes fell upon him.
What nonsense was this old man spouting?!
Clearly planning to send off this demoness, yet he thinks to keep her!
The Great Elder instantly felt a chill but was still confused.
Did he say something wrong again?
Only the Demon Sect leader was overjoyed.
Now seeing Leng Ruyu’s injury showing progress but not healed, contemplating how to broach the subject, the Great Elder stepped forth.
But, superficially still spoke with difficulty, "Wouldn’t it be too troublesome for Fairy Xiyue?!"
"Nonetheless, as long as Fairy Xiyue agrees, anything within Cold Peak’s ability is provided without question."
Saying this, evidently, resources... he truly couldn’t offer.
However, he can exert effort.
Now, the only one capable to battle the Hundred Sword Sect leader, is this Demon Sect leader.
"This..."
Su Xihe was unable to decide, hence looked at her sister.
Without a doubt.
Su Xiyue was surely the one most eager to send Leng Ruyu off.
However, seeing the pitiful state of the demoness repeatedly, she felt a bit unbearable, even a hint of guilt.
With Black Qi not dispelled, and the person being tormented so badly... it’s indeed hard to justify.
"Father."
Leng Ruyu spoke weakly, she glanced at Su Xiyue first, then visibly dimmed her gaze, and whispered, "Dispelling the Black Qi, Xiyue sister must also... pay a great price."
Even at this moment, she was speaking in defense of Su Xiyue.
That price... is indeed significant.
Every time Su Xiyue felt very uncomfortable.
But, in some way, wasn’t Leng Ruyu also one of Qin Yu’s women?
