"Except for the pills, the body stats didn't even increase my strength by much, with those meager 6 stats!" Ning Qi thought, but he invariably knew that these stats would promptly give him a huge boost to his power when he activated his divine strength technique.
But he did satisfactorily complete his mission, and then the only active mission left is the sect upgrade mission, which can only be done when Nangong Xu reaches level 5 Qi cultivation realm. But Ning Qi knows it will take some time, even if he efficiently allocates more pills to him this time.
Ning Qi also felt hasty cultivation would make their foundations weak. Besides, it's only been 10 or so days, and they are all already reasonably strong.
Seeing the sun already at his head, Ning Qi decides to take a break at this village inn for a moment before setting off at four in the evening.
While Ning Qi is resting in the village, Shi Hao ran for around 40 minutes, covering a total of 220 km. Even though he maintained his speed at only 100 m/s, which is only a third of his usual speed, he did not want to hurt Liu Yifei by making any mistakes.
Even though the heavenly wolf sect has been living in the mountains, they have connections in the capital of Hunan province, Changsha. He swiftly moved Liu Yifei to one of the biggest hospitals in the entire city, but it was maintained by someone from his sect, who at a young age stayed in the sect.
After finding that he has not much talent for cultivation, at the age of 30, he left the sect and came to this city. He fell in love with a doctor here and married her in the next two years. Even though he left the sect, he was always welcome there, and as such, when he married, one of the elders provided him with the option of providing funds enough to start a hospital for them, with the condition that their hospitals always give top priority to the sect members. That elder even offered him a chance to become an honorary member of the sect, and the sect will always have his back to support him.
That guy, Wu Song, quickly accepted the proposal, as he is not dumb to reject such a proposal. He named the hospital after his wife, Wang Huajin, as Huajin Hospitals. In the past 20 years, Huajin hospitals have become one of the biggest hospitals in the surrounding provinces.
Wu Song is the chairman, and his wife is the chief doctor. They have rapidly made their hospital grow, and now, just in Changsha itself, they have 5 hospitals in different locations of the city. And in the surrounding province's capital cities, there are also branches.
Wu Song, who is in his early fifties, and his wife Huajin, who is in her late forties, are still energetic, as they are more determined to expand their business to more provinces. Even though everyone in their hospital and society sees them as very powerful individuals, they both always remember who gave them everything they have right now. As such, they always have absolute respect for the sect and the members of the heavenly wolf sect.
Shi Hao quickly walked into the hospital with Liu Yifei in his hands, amidst a lot of enquiring and curious eyes.
One of the receptionists quickly called for help, as she thought it was a serious case, looking at the way Shi Hao carried the patient.
Soon, two nurses and a doctor came hurriedly through the door, pushing a stretcher. Shi Hao carefully placed Liu Yifei on the stretcher, finally heaving a sigh of relief.
They quickly pushed the stretcher to the intensive care unit, and along the way, the doctor started testing the patient. By the time they reached the intensive care unit, the doctor's face, which had been initially solemn, had turned weird. He couldn't help but stop the nurse from pushing the stretcher and the other nurse, who was tending to Liu Yifei with an IV.
"Hello, Mister! Can you tell us exactly what happened so that we can proceed with the proper treatment?" The doctor still patiently asked.
"Oh! Just tend to her wounds, and she also fainted due to shock. So, just treat her till she gets back to health." Shi Hao said this because he already knew the situation Li Yifei was in. She is not in any danger, except for some trauma and wounds on the outer body.
"Y-you... Why didn't you stop us when you already knew her situation?" The doctor couldn't help but get angry at Shi Hao a bit, as he wasted their efforts and worries. Even the nurses looked at him with weird expressions, as they were the ones who received the call from the receptionist that a guy had come carrying a woman in a 'princess' carry.
"Call your chairman and give me your phone." Shi Hao decided not to talk nonsense with them anymore, as he felt it was extremely troublesome. He released his foundation establishment aura a bit, which instantly put a lot of pressure on the three of them. All their faces quickly turned solemn again, as though they were facing someone at the higher levels of society.
That doctor quickly fished his mobile out and called Wu Song, as he felt that this guy in front of him is probably someone who is in a very high position. In just three or four rings, the other side answered the call.
Wu Song is currently attending an event at a medical university along with his wife, as they are invited as chief guests there. But he received a call from a junior-level doctor when his wife was giving a speech, which instantly annoyed him a bit. But he didn't respond rashly, as he felt there was a certain situation, or else this guy wouldn't be disturbing him.
"Hello! Doctor Wang, Has something urgent happened there? " Wu Song asked patiently, as his image is always that of a 'nice' guy, and he did try his best not to lose his composure in front of anyone before knowing the exact situation.
"Ah!--"
"Junior brother Wu! I'm Shi Hao, a core disciple of our sect! I need a small favor, as one of my friends needs some good treatment and a good environment for the next few days. Can you please arrange that for me?" Shi Hao took the phone from the doctor and requested politely, not ordering around. He knows that this Wu Song has connections with the sect elder and also from the session learned from Ning Qi today, which makes him deal with things carefully to get the best results out of them.
Wu Song, who was waiting for the reply on the other side, almost let his mobile fall off. He was gobsmacked by the politeness of a core disciple. Not to mention, he also knows Shi Hao, and the elder with whom he is associated told him that Shi Hao has a chance to reach the soul transformation realm of cultivation or even the True Qi realm.
"S...Senior brother! G...Give the mobile to Doctor Wang! I will talk with him." Wu Song hurriedly responded.
Ah! Ok... Thanks, junior brother!" Shi Hao said, as he handed the mobile to doctor Wang, who is looking at Shi Hao weirdly, as he didn't understand how a twenty-something old young man is calling the chairman Junior brother. But he still took the phone from him and patiently listened to all the instructions from the chairman.
His face right now has a kind of awe and a bit of an awkward feeling, as the chairman told him to arrange the 'best' room in the hospital and also told him that he was going to be here in half an hour and even said to treat 'Senior brother' with respect.
After thinking for some time, he shook his head and swiftly arranged the best room for the patient.
While Shi Hao is in the hospital, Ning Qi started his journey after taking some rest. He drove for two hours before reaching Guilin. Instead of going directly to the sect, Ning Qi decided to spend the night in his house, as it has been more than a week since he stayed there, which may raise some suspicion from Li Ping.
It's not that Ning Qi doesn't want to let him know. It's just that guy will torture him endlessly to teach him about the cultivation, but right now he only has one spot left for his friends or relatives in the sect. He still hasn't decided who to give that to as of now. He then drove the car directly to his house, where he saw three people sitting on the couch eating and watching TV. Seeing them, a smile flashed on Ning Qi's face, and he gently approached them.
On the other hand, Liu Yifei was admitted to the best room, and a nurse came to Shi Hao and asked for the name of the patient as a routine. while the other nurse took a wet cloth to clean the face of Liu Yifei, which was covered in dust.
"Waah! It's Liu goddess!"
Shi Hao was about to reply that he didn't know, but the nurse, who was tending to Liu Yifei, suddenly screamed, making Shi Hao and another nurse a bit frightened. They made their way to look at the 'peerless face', which was initially covered in dust, and couldn't help but click their tongues.
Shi Hao knows that this woman is beautiful and that a senior has taken an interest in her. But he never thought she would be this beautiful, and she is still not at her best.
"Alright! Just treat her and let me know when she wakes up! Don't worry about too many formalities, if you have something to ask, just ask that fat doctor. " Shi Hao said, as he walked to one corner of the room, before sitting in a lotus position to start his cultivation.
Around half an hour later, they quickly patched all the wounds on Liu Yifei, and they changed her clothes to those of the patient, cleaning her entire body at the same time. One of the nurses gathered her courage and told Shi Hao to go out while they changed her clothes.
Instead of getting angry at them, Shi Hao politely walked out of the room, making them feel quite good. Just as he was waiting for them to finish dressing her, Wu Song and his wife rushed to that particular room.
Even though Shi Hao never had a conversation with Wu Song before, he did see him once or twice, when he visited the sect. As such, he easily recognized him and also understood that the woman walking side by side with him was probably his wife.
He was kind of surprised, as he only asked for a little help. He didn't expect them to come here directly, and he would have been even more surprised if he knew that Wu Song dragged his wife out of the middle of her speech, which made her quite dissatisfied and get a bit angry at him.
But she did not say anything, just let him drag her along, as this husband of hers has been her source of trust, love, and everything from the day they both got married.
"Senior brother Shi! I hope that everything is arranged properly. I and my wife were somewhere, or else I would have directly come to arrange everything in person." Wu Song said, making Shi Hao smile back politely.
"G-greetings! S-senior brother Shi." Wang Huajin finally understood why her husband dragged her for such a simple thing. She knows everything about his husband, and she even met some of the outer sect disciples who came to their hospital in the past. But this is the first time a core disciple has come, and even her husband has to address him as Senior Brother.
"Ah! Nice to meet you, sister-in-law! I hope you don't mind the way I address you, as you are the wife of my junior brother." Shi Hao shamelessly started making himself look close to them so that they would take care of Liu Yifei when he left.
"No! It's alright, it's alright... Senior brother Shi." Just as Huajin was about to respond, Wu Song responded on her behalf, which made her get angry and give him a pinch on his waist.
All of them suddenly got silent for a moment before bursting out with laughs. The awkward feeling in the atmosphere quickly swept away.
"Hm! Senior brother, let's go and check the patient first! I will give her a good check-up." Wang Huajin said, to which Wu Song secretly felt that his wife is pretty good, as she decided to give preference to the patient, which will earn her one more good point in front of the senior brother.
"No! Wait for a moment, sister-in-law. The nurses are dressing her up now, and I don't think she needs any more checkups as she didn't have many injuries in the first place." Shi Hao said casually.
"Who is the patient senior brother? Is she from our sect?" Wu Song asked probingly, not wanting to press the question, as that may irritate him.
"No! I also didn't know exactly who she was until today. But from the nurses, I heard that she is a big celebrity in the mortal world. I hope that you guys take care of her and do not let her expose herself until she gets discharged." Shi Hao said and also warned, not wanting anyone to release her from being there.
"You don't have to worry about that, senior brother! I will make sure that no one except those two nurses and doctor Wang attends to the lady inside." Wang Su promised, but he still didn't understand why his senior brother was helping a mortal world celebrity. After all, he is a foundation establishment realm cultivator, and he also didn't get what happened between them or why a celebrity gets the chance to get into contact with cultivators.
Similar thoughts went through his wife's mind too, but both of them didn't express anything!
But Shi Hao easily grasped their thoughts, which made him frown a bit before informing them.
"Listen clearly, junior brother! The woman inside may be a celebrity, but I would never care. But! She has the favor of a 'Soul Transformation' realm. From what I see, the senior is quite interested in the beauty. And from the looks of that senior, he isn't even over 200 years... So you can guess that he has the chance to get that 'Void Realm."
"And also that senior..." Shi Hao slowly explained the entire story to both of them, making them feel shocked and at the same time having some heavy feelings. As such an important person is staying in their hospital, if something were to happen to her, their entire hospital would be burned to the ground. Even then, the heavenly wolf sect wouldn't be able to say much to such a young soul transformation realm.
"Don't worry, senior brother! We will make sure to provide the best! " Wang Su and Huajin promised at the same time with solemn expressions, as they decided to stay in the hospital till this miss got discharged.
"Alright then! I have gotten the message from the sect elder, and he is waiting for me at the bamboo forest entrance. I thought I would wait till she woke up before going. But since you are here, I can go without worrying much." Shi Hao said as he got the message, just when he reached the hospital. But he decided to take care of the mission properly and wanted to wait till she woke up.
Since Wu Song and his wife came, his worries were swept away, as he knows they are well aware of the consequences.
"Alright! Senior brother, don't worry about anything here! We will also secretly let someone from her family come to take her away without a sound." Wu Song promised, making Shi Hao smile at them with a nod before flashing away from there. The couple then bowed at the way that Shi Hao disappeared before looking at each other with all smiles.
Around 20 minutes after Shi Hao left, Liu Yifei slowly opened her eyes. Instead of panicking, as everyone does, she instead felt peace and serenity. She has seen every one of those scums die in front of her and remembered everyone's face, as such, she knows that she won't be in any more danger.
Seeing that Liu Yifei woke up, the Wang Su couple, who had just informed the family members of her, quickly walked beside her and asked,
"How are you feeling, miss? If you are still feeling some pain anywhere, let me know. I will give you a painkiller, that doesn't have many side effects." Huajin said as she grasped Yifei's hand to check on her pulse.
"I'm feeling good... Where is the person who admitted me to the hospital now? I-I want to meet him." Liu Yifei's first question is about Ning Qi, as she feels that he is the one who took her here.
"Uh? You are probably talking about the senior who saved you, right?" Wang Su grasped the situation quickly and asked.
Liu Yifei kind of got confused by the way this man, who looks to be in his fifties, addressed such a young man as a senior. But she still nodded her head meekly, not knowing what was going on.
"Ah! Miss, don't misunderstand. That senior who saved you might look young... Oh no, he is actually very young compared to his overall lifespan. Still, I'm a kid in front of him, as he is probably over 200 years old or at least around that age." Wu Song said, after seeing the look of confusion on Liu Yifei's face.
Instead of clearing the doubts, he created even more confusion in Liu Yifei's mind. She looked at them both for a moment, considering whether she was in a general hospital or some kind of mental hospital.
Wu Song wanted to explain more, but his wife gave him a nudge, letting him stop whatever he was about to say, and gave her a questioning look.
Wang Huajin rolled her eyes at her usually intelligent and crafty business husband, who was not grasping the situation correctly and trying to make mistake after mistake.
"Hello! Miss Liu, I'm the chief doctor of Huajin hospitals, and my husband here, Wu Song, is the chairman. You weren't actually taken here by that 'senior' who saved you, instead, you were bought by someone from my husband's sect, at the request of that senior. You don't have to be confused, miss. As you may have already known from your recent encounter, there is a world that is unknown to normal people. My husband, in his younger days, also used to be in a sect..."
Huajin explained slowly to Liu Yifei about her husband and her life. Then she explained about the cultivation world, and lastly she explained about the Red Blood Sect and how she got here, from all the information they get from Shi Hao.
Liu Yifei felt a world that was out of her reach flash like a fantasy movie in front of her, as she listened to Huajin. Initially, she thought that those evil people and Ning Qi were some kind of special people with special powers, but in the end, they were also normal humans. But after hearing this, she knows that this is something that she would have never had a chance to contact.
'What kind of concept is people living for thousands of years?' Liu Yifei thought.
"But... why didn't the government take any action against such evil people?" Liu Yifei asked, as she felt that government was the ultimate thing here. They may also have their own 'cultivators' right?
"Miss Liu! even though the government also has some powers supporting them! There are plenty of sects that are enormously more powerful than the government. Never mind, you will know about that in the future anyhow, as that senior will probably come to you soon, once his work is done." Huajin said again, making Liu Yifei bewildered as to why such a powerful figure would come to her.
"Miss Liu! Do you think that a 'Soul transformation level cultivator' will 'Princess carry' you out of there willingly? At most, he would have informed the people of the heavenly wolf sect to save you, before going on his way. Even though seniors eradicated that sect, for justice... that is looking at the overall level. Those powerful figures don't care much about individuals, sigh!" Huajin sighed after saying that, as if what she said were true.
In fact, Huajin isn't wrong at all. Many people may have chosen the side of justice, but a lot of them never care about individual-level entities. Even if someone were to die in front of them, they would help if they thought it was not troublesome and that it wasn't obstructing their goals. otherwise, or else they wouldn't even bat an eyelid.
"Oh! Then why did that person save me? Did he leave any message for me?" Liu Yifeiyi didn't know why she felt like that, but she felt a bit of happiness in her mind and asked hurriedly.
"Ah? Ahem... It's probably because that senior may have taken an interest in you. So, I think you will soon get to meet with that senior again, and you will probably even be introduced to the cultivation world through him. That is all we know, Miss Liu. We have also informed your family members to pick you up. Naturally! You can also stay here for as long as you want. Now, you should take some rest, we won't disturb you anymore."
Huajing said all of that in a single breath, as she conveyed everything Shi Hao asked them to. She then grabbed his husband, who is still looking a bit silly, and went away, leaving Liu Yifei absentminded.
Liu Yifei didn't even know that they had already left, as her ears are still ringing with the words 'interest in you'. She had the thought of devoting herself to Ning Qi before, and with the words from Huajin, her mind went into a multitude of thoughts. She even thought that she wasn't fit for Ning Qi or that their age gap was a bit too much, etc. She soon shook her head, as she decided to deal with it when the time came, and also soon sadness succumbed to her as she remembered her dear friends and tears started falling from her eyes.
