Chapter 876: Chapter 876

Linghu Hongyan slowly closed her eyes, as if pondering something. A moment later, she opened them and stared intently at Fang Bai, asking, "Senior Fang, if I were to die, would you be willing to help me with those three things I just mentioned?"

Fang Bai knew she was still worried that he couldn’t cure her. He nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, if you really weren’t here anymore, I would definitely fulfill those three tasks for you!"

A hint of a smile finally appeared on Linghu Hongyan’s face. She said, "With this, even if I die, I will have no regrets... Alright, Senior Fang, I’ll accept your treatment. Even if it doesn’t cure me, I won’t have a single word of complaint!"

"Instructor Fang will definitely cure you!"

Linghu Baimei said with a firm tone.

"Master will definitely be alright!"

Linghu Qianjiao also said.

Just then, Ye Xing, who was beside them, suddenly spoke up.

Ye Xing had been abducted from Lingnan to this place and, after enduring Linghu Baimei’s torment along the way, was extremely weak. His voice was also very low. Had Fang Bai not had exceptionally sharp senses, he might not have heard him calling.

"Uncle Ye, don’t worry, you’ll be fine! Once I have treated Madame Linghu’s injuries, I will take you back to Lingnan to reunite with your family," Fang Bai said, walking up to Ye Xing and crouching down to speak in a low voice.

Ye Xing was Ye Wumei’s father, and it was precisely because of this relationship that Fang Bai had traveled thousands of miles to rescue Ye Xing. With Fang Bai here, there was no threat to Ye Xing’s life.

Fang Bai knew that there must be deep grievances and entanglements between Ye Xing and Linghu Hongyan, otherwise Linghu Baimei would not have kidnapped Ye Xing, and even wanted to kill him. As for what those grievances were, although Fang Bai was very curious, if Linghu Hongyan didn’t talk about it, Fang Bai was not inclined to inquire.

Moreover, Linghu Hongyan had just said that she was willing to let Ye Xing go. Even if the Linghu sisters were reluctant, they wouldn’t dare to defy their master’s orders.

Ye Xing glanced at Linghu Hongyan, who was lying on the bed, his expression complex. He sighed and said, "If it weren’t for me, Hongyan might not have ended up this way... I owe her an apology! Fang Bai, please, you must cure Hongyan no matter what, I owe her too much!"

Linghu Hongyan snorted coldly and said, "Ye, it’s not your place to meddle in my affairs!"

With a bitter smile, Ye Xing said, "Hongyan, I know you despise me, and it was indeed my fault back then! If my life can dissipate the hatred and fury in your heart, then take it!"

Linghu Hongyan angrily said, "You think I don’t dare to kill you? Do you know why I founded ’Wrathful Beauties’ in the first place? It was to deal with your Ye Family! I wanted to see your family torn apart, disgraced, and I wanted the entire Ye Family to be annihilated..."

She glared at Ye Xing, her tone thick with deep hatred. Ye Xing met her gaze, and involuntarily shivered.

Looking at the angrily flushed face of Linghu Hongyan and then at the ashamed Ye Xing, Fang Bai guessed that the strife between them likely stemmed from a love turned sour, although the specific reasons remained unknown to him.

What puzzled Fang Bai was how these two individuals, one from a Minor World and the other a high-ranking official from Huaxia’s elite, came to know each other.

"...After my cultivation deviated, I’ve been lying in bed for years. Over these years, I’ve come to terms with many things, and my heart has softened a great deal... Otherwise, how could you, Ye Xing, still be alive? How could your Ye Family still exist?"

Linghu Hongyan vented a few grievances and then seemed to let go of her hatred and anger, sighing wearily.

The old grudge between Linghu Hongyan and Ye Xing was something she had shared with the Linghu sisters before. This time, they had captured Ye Xing intending to hand him over to their master for punishment. However, seeing Ye Xing nearly at death’s door, Linghu Hongyan recalled their past interactions and couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.

"Miss Linghu, although I am not fully aware of the grievances between you and Ye Xing, I believe that as long as it is not a matter of life and death, there is a possibility for reconciliation. Besides, Ye Xing is the father of a good friend of mine, and I came here hoping to safely take him back... I hope Miss Linghu can save face..."

Fang Bai walked back to Linghu Hongyan’s bedside and spoke softly.

Linghu Hongyan smiled faintly and said, "Senior Fang promised me three things, so I will definitely give this face!"

"Good, Miss Linghu is quite straightforward! There’s no time to delay, I’ll heal you now!"

Fang Bai spoke and then turned his head to the Linghu sisters and said, "I need a quiet environment for the healing, so... it will be enough to have just the two of you assisting!"

Linghu Qian Jiao and Linghu Baimei understood and asked the other dozen members of the ’Wrathful Beauties’ to temporarily leave the hall and also took Ye Xing out with them, leaving only Fang Bai, Linghu Hongyan, Linghu Qian Jiao, and Linghu Baimei in the hall.

Fang Bai took one of Linghu Hongyan’s hands, his fingers pressing gently on her pulse. He closed his eyes slightly, and his Divine Sense spread from her arm along the channels throughout her body as he began to examine her injuries.

The Linghu sisters stood by the sickbed, alternately watching Fang Bai and Linghu Hongyan. They held their breath, their hearts hanging high with anticipation.

Linghu Hongyan, who had suffered from Deviation and severed meridians for many years, had become despondent about healing and indifferent to life or death. Now presented with a chance to heal, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

The vast hall fell into a silence so profound that one could hear a pin drop.

"Instructor Fang, how is it? Is the master’s injury... easy to heal?"

After a couple of minutes, seeing Fang Bai slowly open his eyes, Linghu Qian Jiao asked with a trembling voice.

Linghu Hongyan and Linghu Baimei also looked at Fang Bai, waiting for his response.

"Give me two hours, and I’ll return to you a healthy master!"

Fang Bai said with a smile.

Two hours, within such a short time frame, it was already impressive that Fang Bai could save the master’s life, and he was even confident enough to restore the master back to normal. This greatly delighted the Linghu sisters, almost making them cheer aloud.

Fang Bai took out the Five Elements Acupuncture Set and placed nearly a hundred Water Element and Wood Element Stones on a table next to him, preparing for the initial stages of the treatment.

The stronger the individual injured, the greater the difficulty of treating them. Fang Bai estimated that Linghu Hongyan’s cultivation level was at least Heaven Level high rank, perhaps even higher. Therefore, healing her was easier said than done, consuming a great deal of energy and spirit. That’s why Fang Bai had some Essence Stones nearby to use during the treatment to replenish the Essence Energy as needed.

The reason for preparing both Water and Wood Element Stones was because Water Element Qi has healing properties, and Wood Element Qi can stimulate the potential for life, making them essential energies for treating the injured.

Earlier, when Fang Bai was testing at the Ruyi Stone, it displayed both water and fire attributes. Now, seeing Fang Bai take out both Water and Wood Element Stones for use, Linghu Hongyan’s eyes suddenly lit up with a flash of surprise, and she blurted out, "Does Senior Fang also possess a Wood Attribute Spiritual Root?"
