Chapter 140 Healing

The disciples hurriedly carried Lin Jiao and Ye Xuan to the healing hospital, and Lin Xiao, supported by several disciples, followed closely.

He was covered in blood, his face was pale, and he looked like he would collapse at any moment.

The head of the sect had already heard the news and rushed to the infirmary. He walked steadily, but his eyes were filled with anxiety. Seeing Lin Jiao and Ye Xuan lying unconscious, he immediately leaned forward to check their injuries.

Lin Xiao leaned on a disciple's shoulder, struggling to stand straight. He said in a weak but firm voice, "Master, they were injured by the Green Forest Flower Demon in the middle layer of the Ancient Forest. Although I have cured them of the poison, they are still unconscious."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the ten accompanying disciples changed, and they looked at each other in bewilderment. The name of the Green Forest Flower Demon was feared throughout the middle levels of the Ancient Forest, and many cultivators had been defeated. How could even these three have encountered it?

The headmaster frowned slightly, quickly checked the pulse and wounds of the two men, and had made a conclusion in his mind.

He pulled out three Heart Protecting Pills from his sleeve, handed them to a disciple beside him, and ordered in a cold voice, "Feed them to the three of them immediately. These two are seriously injured, their bodies are almost destroyed. Fortunately, you, Lin Xiao, sent energy to protect their heart meridians in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Yes, Master!" The disciples followed orders without hesitation, carefully feeding the Heart Protecting Pills into the mouths of Lin Jiao, Ye Xuan, and Lin Xiao. The effects were immediate, and the breathing of the three men stabilized slightly.

The headmaster slowly stood up and said solemnly, "Put them on the beds. I will personally treat their injuries. The rest of you, please stand guard outside the door and do not disturb them."

Ten disciples quickly laid Lin Jiao and Ye Xuan flat on beds in the infirmary, and also placed Lin Xiao beside them. After closing the door, the disciples waited outside, and faint whispers could be heard.

Inside the room, the Sect Leader sat cross-legged beside the bed, gently caressing the two people's brows with his hands, circulating his powerful energy. Two streams of warm air emanated from his palms and slowly flowed into Lin Jiao and Ye Xuan's bodies.

Suddenly, the healing hospital was filled with a warm atmosphere, like a spring breeze, dispelling the solemn and murderous atmosphere that had originally permeated the area.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt the power of the Heart Protection Pill begin to flow, so he sat cross-legged on the bed and cast the "Boundless Heart Sea Technique" to guide the medicinal power. As time passed, Lin Xiao's wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his breath gradually recovered.

Outside the house, the disciples were whispering.

"Have you heard? Lin Xiao and the other two actually escaped from the Cuilin Flower Demon!"

"What a monster! That's one of the demon kings in the ancient forest. It's incredible that they can return safely!"

"Stop talking. I have to report this matter to Elder Xuantian and notify him immediately." The disciple standing in the front whispered.

"Understood. We will stay here and you go inform the elders."

Time passed quietly, and the setting sun cast a few rays of light through the small window of the healing hospital.

Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes, feeling his strength returning to normal. He turned to look at Lin Jiao and Ye Xuan, only to see the Sect Master's hands still pressed against their foreheads, his strength continuously flowing into them.

The master's forehead was covered with sweat, dripping onto his Taoist robe, but he did not stop.

The wounds on Lin Jiao and Ye Xuan's bodies have scabbed over. Although the marks are still there, their breathing is much more stable than before.

Lin Xiao felt a little relieved, but he knew that he could not help at this moment, so he could only continue to sit cross-legged on the bed and silently practice martial arts to recover.

until late at night.

The headmaster's face became paler and paler, and he finally stopped supplying energy at the last moment. His body swayed a bit, and he slowly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to regulate his breathing.

Sweat had soaked his clothes, his breathing seemed unusually rapid, and he was obviously exhausted.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao bowed slightly.

After a while, the headmaster recovered some strength. He stood up and checked the condition of Lin Jiao and Ye Xuan. Seeing that their breathing gradually stabilized, they finally showed a look of relief.

He turned to Lin Xiao and said, "Come with me."

The headmaster pushed open the door and walked steadily toward the outside of the healing center. The disciples waiting at the door immediately saluted upon seeing him. Xuan Tianzi gave a brief instruction: "They are fine now. Here is a bottle of Qi-nourishing Pills. Take three pills daily. Take good care of them and make no mistakes."

"Yes, disciples obey your command!" The ten disciples responded respectfully.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao quickly stood up and walked to Lin Jiao's side. He carefully checked her condition and after confirming that she was fine, he followed the leader's pace.

At this time, Elder Xuantian, who had been watching from a distance for a long time, saw the figures of the Sect Master and Lin Xiao leaving, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

He rushed to the healing hospital without hesitation, and arrived at the gate almost in an instant. After pushing the door open, he rushed straight into the room where Lin Jiao and Ye Xuan were.

"Greetings, Elder Xuantian!" Upon seeing this, the ten disciples hurriedly saluted, but there was a hint of surprise on their faces. It was obvious that they had not expected the elder to suddenly show up in the middle of the night.

Elder Xuantian completely ignored their greetings and quickly walked to the bed of Lin Jiao and Ye Xuan.

His eyes were sharp as a torch. He first felt Ye Xuan's pulse, then roughly ripped open her collar, revealing the scar on her chest. Although the wound had scabbed over, it was still shocking.

Elder Xuantian's expression darkened and his face turned ashen in an instant.

"The master's realm seems to be quite high..." He muttered in a low voice, with a tone of fear that was hard to conceal.

Turning to face the ten disciples who were still saluting, Elder Xuantian shouted sternly, "I haven't been here tonight, understand?"

"Disciples understand!" Although the ten disciples were confused, they did not dare to ask more questions and answered in unison.

Elder Xuantian snorted coldly and quickly turned and left the infirmary. In a flash of darkness, he disappeared into the night. His pace grew faster and faster, his target heading straight for the Zen Hall.

At the same time, Lin Xiao followed the footsteps of the headmaster and stepped into the main hall of the Feng Shui Academy.

In the night, the hall appeared empty and solemn. The headmaster stood in the center, his figure illuminated by the lights, appearing particularly majestic. He frowned slightly and examined Lin Xiao, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Why did the three of you go to the Ancient Forest together, but in the end only you could bring them two back?" the headmaster asked in a deep voice, with a hint of temptation in his tone.

Lin Xiao's heart tightened, and he secretly considered his words. Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by the headmaster's shout: "Stop making excuses. Your injuries may seem serious, but they are actually just superficial wounds."

"Master, actually, I—" Lin Xiao paused, his face slightly embarrassed. He had originally intended to use his injuries to excuse himself, but he hadn't expected the Master to have seen through him. He quickly searched his mind for a reasonable explanation.

Seeing this, the headmaster shook his head slightly, his tone softening a bit. "Well, since you don't want to talk about it anymore, I won't pursue it any further. But remember, from now on, no matter what happens, you must not reveal the details of this trip to anyone. Also, if something like this happens again, at least pretend to be more convincing so that you won't be seen through at a glance."

Lin Xiao quickly clasped his fists and saluted, responding respectfully, "Disciple will remember your teachings. Thank you, Master, for your tolerance!"
