The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Chapter 55: Wounded in the abdomen by sword energy, receiving wound medicine.

"You didn't ask when the sect leader saw you, but now you're slashing at me like crazy just to ask this question. Do you think I look friendly?" Song Han was a little annoyed.

"I didn't think of it when I met Li Chao, but I felt something was off after thinking about it repeatedly. That's why I came to ask you," Luo Yifei replied calmly.

"Then why don't you just ask directly?" Song Han wasn't angry because Luo Yifei addressed the sect leader by his name; instead, he remained calm.

"Just to verify my guess," Luo Yifei replied.

"What guess?" Song Han asked.

"How much use do I have to you?" Luo Yifei asked frankly.

Song Han didn't ask any further questions, but turned and left, leaving behind the words, "I'll go get your medicine."

Soon, the young monk Huiming arrived with the medicine.

……

Half an hour ago, the young monk Huiming knocked on Shi Hao's door with a letter.

"Come in," Shi Hao responded from inside the door.

"Benefactor Shi, a pilgrim surnamed Qin just asked me to pass on a letter to you." The young monk Huiming said, handing the letter to Shi Hao with both hands.

"A pilgrim surnamed Qin?" Shi Hao took the letter and already guessed who it was.

“Yes, he said he would give the letter to you, and you would naturally know who he is. The man has a limp in his left leg, as if he had been injured,” the young monk Huiming added.

"Yes, I know who it is." Shi Hao asked that question because he couldn't be sure that this person would actually be in Tang Kingdom.

Qin Tianzhu was once the leader of Mr. Ding's spies in the north. Later, he was injured and became lame in his left leg. It was said that he went to enjoy his old age. Unexpectedly, he went south to the Tang Kingdom and became a spy again.

Shi Hao didn't let his thoughts wander; instead, he opened the letter.

The young monk Huiming bowed and prepared to take his leave. "Benefactor Shi, please don't forget the time for dinner later, just like yesterday. The bell will ring six times, which means it's time to eat dinner at dusk."

"Okay, okay. Thanks for the reminder." Shi Hao replied with a smile, a completely different person compared to when he met Qi Yuan.

But as the unfolded letter came into view, Shi Hao's smile froze on his face.

Despite the encryption of the letter, Shi Hao, who was trained, was able to read its contents directly.

A look of doubt and confusion appeared on Shi Hao's face.

"Wait." Shi Hao called out to the young monk Huiming, who had already walked outside the door.

The young monk Huiming stopped.

"Song Han is fighting someone. I've prepared some medicine for external injuries, and I'll help deliver it to him later," Shi Hao said to the young monk Huiming.

“Both Benefactor Song and Young Hero Qi are martial arts masters. They’ve been sparring for a while now, and I haven’t seen anyone get injured. Masters always stop when they’ve just touched a point, so there shouldn’t be any need for that,” the young monk Huiming said as he walked back into the room.

“Listen, the sound of swords has changed. Before you arrived, Song Han’s opponent changed. Now Luo Yifei is sparring with him.” Shi Hao began to take out various medicinal herbs from the medicine cabinet behind him to prepare medicine for external injuries.

"Does this medicine have a name?" asked the young monk Huiming.

"No, it's just ordinary wound medicine, only the recovery time is shorter. You could call it a fast-acting wound medicine." Shi Hao prepared the medicine very quickly, his various operations were smooth and efficient.

time flies.

"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong," the bell rang six times.

"Perfect timing, I'm going to eat. Could you please deliver this to the cafeteria?" Shi Hao said before heading out the door towards the cafeteria.

The young monk Huiming left Shi Hao's courtyard with the medicine, just as Song Han came out of Qi Yuan's group's courtyard. The two met in the middle courtyard.

"Benefactor Song, this is a fast-acting wound medicine that Benefactor Shi asked me to deliver to you," said the young monk Huiming to Song Han.

Song Han paused for a moment, then asked, "Where is he?"

"I'm going to eat," replied the young monk Huiming.

"Help take it inside, Luo Yifei is injured. I'll go find Shi Hao." After saying that, Song Han also walked towards the courtyard where the canteen was located.

……

The young monk Huiming arrived at the courtyard where Qi Yuan and his group were staying.

Qi Yuan and Bi Li had already carried Luo Yifei back into the house.

Bili cut Luo Yifei's clothes open with scissors. Fortunately, it was just a shallow wound, with some blood seeping out from the capillaries.

"It's nothing, just a superficial wound. Song Han neutralized the force of that last sword strike, otherwise you would have been dead long ago. If you had used your inner energy to protect yourself, you wouldn't have been injured by the sword energy," Qi Yuan said to Luo Yifei.

"If you need anything in the future, just ask. Song Han isn't an enemy; the Tang Clan is intentionally trying to help us," Qi Yuan added, bringing over hot water. Bi Li cleaned Luo Yifei's wounds and applied the quick-acting wound medicine brought by the young monk Huiming.

"Amitabha, may Buddha protect us. It is already evening. Benefactor Qi, Benefactor Bi, why don't I look after Benefactor Luo for a while? You two can go to the dining hall first," said the young monk Huiming to Qi Yuan and Bi Li.

"Can I still eat?" Luo Yifei asked.

“Yes, but it’s best to eat liquid food,” the young monk Huiming replied.

"I brought you some porridge," Bili said to Luo Yifei.

Qi Yuan and Bi Li walked out of the house, leaving only Luo Yifei and the young monk Huiming inside.

Luo Yifei still felt some pain in his abdomen, but it was bearable. Looking at the little monk Huiming sitting next to him, he said, "I'm fine. Qi Yuan said it's just a superficial injury. Why don't you go eat too?"

“It’s alright, my senior brother will save me a copy. Don’t be so formal, Benefactor Luo. It’s our duty to take care of your safety and daily needs during your stay,” the young monk Huiming replied.

"What do you usually do if no one asks you to stay overnight?" Luo Yifei asked curiously.

“Naturally, it’s homework. My senior brother leads us in morning martial arts practice and reciting scriptures. We also fetch water and plant vegetables. Then we clean the rooms where the patrons stay,” the young monk Huiming replied.

"Are there many people coming to stay overnight?" Luo Yifei asked.
