BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
143 - Investigation [2]

Chu Kai's body was cleansed by Physician Shang of Rufeng Tower Sect and in fact the healer was shocked by the condition of this young man's body.

Chu Kai had quite a large scratch scar on his body, let alone on his back. Physician Shang could not even imagine how this young man could stay alive with such a severe scar.

It was just that other than that scar, Chu Kai's body did not suffer any injuries and this was also what made Physician Shang startled. Though the clothes of the young man lying on the bed were very wet with blood, and the subject should have had a new wound on his body.

"There were no external injuries and he did not have any internal injuries either. This person was obviously fine, but why was he acting so weak as if he was dying so badly?" Physician Shang thought hard before paying careful attention to the look on this young man's face.

Physician Shang took a breath and then said, "Now in this room there are only you and me. So can you stop pretending? You're making your partner very worried."

"........... I indeed cannot fool a healer," Chu Kai finally opened his voice. He opened his eyes and then started to wake up.

"Clean your own body, you're really rude to older people."

"Sorry," Chu Kai smiled and picked up the cloth previously dampened by Physician Shang.

"Why did you do it? What's your reason for pretending like that?" Physician Shang asked again and it made Chu Kai stare at him.

"I like a girl, but she's so cold. So I think this could draw some sympathy, huh.. That's it."

Physician Shang sighed before finally shaking his head softly, "But you shouldn't bother others like this. Ah, i-i heard... You are facing one of the 12 Moon Pillars members of the Dead Moon Sect. How did you survive without any injuries at all?"

"That's.... Because the members of the Dead Moon Sect underestimated me. He didn't use his full strength so I took advantage of his arrogance and survived."

"You... Beat her?"

Chu Kai smiled awkwardly and shook his head softly, "How can I defeat such a strong person. I'm just really grateful to be able to escape without getting seriously injured at all,"

It was impossible for Chu Kai to tell the truth. He not only defeated that Dead Moon Sect member, but made his opponent's body flake off.

Even he himself witnessed how the skin of his opponent's face was exposed, exposing thin veins to the bone. The shadow was still clear as he watched his opponent's internal organs tumble and mix with the flames.

Chu Kai gulped, he hid the trembling on his body at this moment. If he was telling the truth, then not only Wei Zhang Zihan... But also Xia Ling Qing and the other warriors would think of him as a monster.

"You're really lucky to escape death with no injuries at all" Physician Shang showed his admiration.

"That's not true" Chu Kai said. "I was wounded and Wei's swordsman Zhang Zihan treated me,"

"Mh... Physician," Chu Kai spoke again. "Can I ask you a little help?"

"Mn?"

"We brought her clothes," Liu Han Ying walked into the room where Chu Kai was. He was together with Xia Ling Qing.

"How is he now?" Xia Ling Qing asked Physician Shang. His eyes were fixed on the young man lying on the bed with his body and right hand wrapped in bandages.

"That's..." Physician Shang inwardly sighed. Somehow he had to participate in this youth's charade. He looked at Xia Ling Qing and then coughed softly.

Physician Shang said, "I am exerting a lot of spiritual energy to repair the tissues in his internal organs. His heart rate was stable, apparently not having any internal injuries, but actually... It's a very hard wound to detect."

"really?" Liu Han Ying was shocked, as was Xia Ling Qing.

The two girls noticed the face of Chu Kai who was still lying unconscious and indeed saw that the face of this young man was not as pale as that of a sick person. But since Physician Shang had already said so, then no one could doubt about it.

"Then how is he now? What medicine can cure his wounds?" Xia Ling Qing asked. He could not remain silent when he heard this. Chu Kai was the Dragon Swordsman and this young man bore a great responsibility. In any case... This guy should recover soon.

"Miss Xia don't worry," Physician Shang said. "The medicine I need is all in this sect. I'll concoct it soon. Um... If you can help me take care of her for a while."

Physician Shang looked at Liu Han Ying and then said, "Miss Liu. Can you help me concoct the herbs?"

"Oh, okay." Liu Han Ying immediately followed Physician Shang without any suspicion at all. His departure made Xia Ling Qing now have to stay inside the room and keep Chu Kai alone.

"..............." Xia Ling Qing watched the subject lying on the bed before starting to lay down his sword. He sat down on the chair next to the bed and waited quietly.

"Kai?! You okay?" Xia Ling Qing was inexperienced at taking care of the sick so he did not know what to do when the person he was guarding started to open his eyes.

"Miss Xia.." Chu Kai's voice was extremely weak, barely audible. He simply lay down as if unable to move every inch of his body part.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Xia Ling Qing moved and sat on the edge of the bed. He reached out his hand and touched Chu Kai's forehead which felt somewhat warm.

"I... Apologize,"

"You better not talk too much. I'll call Physician Shang right away, you wait here."

"No... Miss Xia," Chu Kai coughed and made Xia Ling Qing startled. The girl was obviously worried if she regurgitated blood like before.

Chu Kai's voice was still very weak as he said, "Please... Don't go."

"But your condition..."

"I... It will be fine as long as Miss Xia... With me."

Xia Ling Qing felt unwell. He did not know what to do to a person in such a severe condition. On the other hand, Chu Kai inwardly apologized for already deceiving the beautiful girl before him.

"Miss Xia... It's so sweet when you're worried. She's like... White Rabbit." Chu Kai closed his eyes. He would anxiously laugh if he continued to stare at Xia Ling Qing's worried face.

"You... Do you want a drink?" Xia Ling Qing opened his voice. He asked again, "Are you hungry?"

".......... Mn,"

There was only water on the table that was close to Chu Kai's bed. Xia Ling Qing breathed slowly and then said, "I'll help you wake up. Can you sit down?"

Xia Ling Qing very carefully helped Chu Kai to sit down. He was afraid of suppressing the wound of this young man wrapped in bandages, but thankfully because Chu Kai was finally able to sit down despite having to lean on him.

Xia Ling Qing helped Chu Kai drink as the right hand of this young man was wrapped in bandages. Along with that incident, Physician Shang and Liu Han Ying entered with herbal medicine.

Physician Shang stopped his footsteps and sighed. In his heart he shook his head and then clucked a few times. That natural green-eyed youth was clearly a very cunning figure.

"Kai, you're finally sober!" Liu Han Ying walked over to Chu Kai. He placed the cup filled with herbal liquid on the table and then checked Chu Kai's condition.

"When did he wake up?" Liu Han Ying asked and Xia Ling Qing looked at him.

"Not so long ago. You're... Can you help me by bringing him some food?"

"Mn, I will also call Wei Zhang Zihan here." Liu Han Ying touched Chu Kai's left arm slowly and said, "You better not move much. Rest well, okay?"

".......... Fine," Chu Kai replied in a weak tone of voice. Physician Shang who already knew the truth could only exhale and then set his eyes on Xia Ling Qing.

Anyone knows the identity of the beautiful girl. Xia Ling Qing was a First Level Sacred Swordsman and was the daughter of the Elders of the Wushi Mountain Sect. This girl has a cold and unapproachable nature, will not even hesitate to draw her sword if there is a man who is outrageous to her.

Beauty That Can't Be Touched. This word was likely appropriate to describe Xia Ling Qing. His strong personality, without hesitation, gave low views to others... No one would have thought that this girl could show a face full of anxiety and even very carefully take care of others.

"This young man..." Physician Shang looked at Chu Kai and nodded, "He really took a high risk. If until this girl finds out, then I can't even imagine what's going to happen."

Chu Kai of course knew the risks of such actions, but this also included his revenge. He remembered at his initial meeting with Xia Ling Qing. This subject kicked him just like that and even treated him curtly, so rude even while training him a sword.

To be honest despite being considered a careless young man, Chu Kai never forgot to return the favor. Debt for being treated unfairly by this girl... He would make Xia Ling Qing pay for everything.

Xia Ling Qing and Liu Han Ying were unaware of Chu Kai's theatrics, even including Wei Zhang Zihan and Shuang Shu Chen.

They were actually examining the condition of Chu Kai's body and were initially suspicious as this young man did not have any internal injuries at all. However, because Chu Kai's body was bandaged and Physician Shang explained the hard-to-detect wounds, they didn't think much of it.

Wei Zhang Zihan even undoed his intention to ask further regarding what Chu Kai actually experienced because of the condition of this young man's body. He chose to be patient and wait for the right time to discuss it.

For several days, Chu Kai stayed in Rufeng Tower Sect and was cared for by Xia Ling Qing. This beautiful girl even made him ginseng porridge and without hesitation bribed him. Somehow but he felt closer and closer to this Sacred Swordsman he admired.

The only unpleasant thing about Chu Kai pretending to be sick was that he had to take an unusually bitter herbal medicine. The struggle to get more attention from a figure like Xia Ling Qing was truly quite overwhelming.
