Chapter 48.2: Worry
This time, even the ever stern faced Bai Qiu whose emotions did not show on his face was suddenly displaying a shocked demeanor. "A young girl not yet fourteen?"
It was different for him unlike Ye Li and the others who were half in disbelief but his mind seemed to drift off to a very far away place, like he could faintly recall something but just could not be sure.
A girl who possessed such Heaven defying and incredulous gift despite being just so young in age. There was actually a precedent of that right here in Cloud Heaven before.
But this had happened down there in the lands of a lower realm….. That would really cause one to have to think deeply about it.
Bai Qiu's face darkened a little and then turned to look at Lou Jun Yao. "Come with me." And then just turned around to walk away upon saying that.
Lou Jun Yao arched up an eyebrow, but listened to Bai Qiu and followed behind him.
Leaving Bai Zhi Yan to stand there in bewilderment by himself. "Why has my father asked Jun Yao to go there? I'll just go with them….. Oww! Third Elder, what are you doing! ?"
Bai Zhi Yan shielded his face and jumped one big step backwards, to look on in horror at the group of people smiling at him. [Suddenly poking at his face where he had been injured for no good reason, do they think it's funny? !]
Bai Li's face split into a highly disarming smile. "Look at your swollen and badly bruised face. Come to my room and let me apply medicine on it first."
It was not known whether it was due to Bai Zhi Yan having taken liberties with too many women but his imagination immediately ran rather rich and wild. Upon hearing Bai Li's words, his face turned pale and he quickly said indignantly: "Apply medicine if you must, but why do I need to go to your room? Has the Third Elder come to develop other kinds of special interest besides researching into medical prescriptions over the years? !"
Bai Li was stunned by Bai Zhi Yan's highly aggrieved look as he exclaimed out so loudly and it took him a long while before he came back to his senses. "I saw you covering your face earlier and I guessed that you must be quite badly hurt. How can I apply medicine for you properly if you do not go lie down in my room? And what kind of special interest are you talking about? ?"
The expression on Bai Zhi Yan's face turned stiff and feeling incredibly awkward, he coughed lightly. "It's nothing. Let's go have medicine applied then!"
And he then took off so swiftly like there was wind under his feet, as if there was a pack of wolves after him.
Bai Li's face was still looking completely bewildered, a little stumped, but he still went on to open his mouth to say helpfully. "Kid! My room is in the southern side! Where are you running off to going north? It's only toilets up there."
Bai Zhi Yan's fast moving feet stumbled. "….."
On the other side, Bai Qiu brought Lou Jun Yao to come to the meeting hall. This place was usually only opened up when there was a big incident or an highly important matter. But Bai Qiu had brought him here because the grand meeting hall was the Divine Healers Sect's most protected place, and also the most private.
After Bai Qiu brought the man to the place, he had just asked for the man to wait a moment and before he had even walked away, the man's languid sounding voice already rose to say indifferently: "No need for all that trouble. You can come close to this body of mine now."
Bai Qiu's footsteps halted, feeling rather incredulous.
Back when this man was afflicted by that poison, his temperament had undergone a drastic change and his body constitution had become exceptionally terrifying. Not to mention humans, even objects devoid of life would disintegrate in nothing at his hands.
But right before his eyes, he saw the man sitting leisurely in the main seat in the hall, in that chair made from the highest grade of rosewood, his long slender fingers toying with the leaves of the evergreen bonsai plant beside him.
It must be known that all the furniture like tables, chairs, and even the bed in his room had to be made with special materials. It could be imagined just how powerful and damaging the aura emanating out from him had been back then.
Whenever Bai Qiu came to diagnose his condition back then, he had had to put on clothes and gloves that could isolate him from that aura. This would be the first time that he was coming into such close contact with the man.
Back when he had brought him back as a child, he had been so tiny. To think that he would grow up to reach such a profound and unfathomable stage today, Bai Qiu could not help but feel a slight twinge in his heart.
