Chapter Ninety-Eight: Turning the Tables I
The next day, Bai Qi went to visit Liu Xiaojie in his room. The two healing pills he had given him were enough to restore half his strength. Moreover, those elixirs were no ordinary medicines; ever since Bai Qi had entered that peculiar state, the pills he refined had become several times more effective than elixirs of the same grade. Thus, when Bai Qi came to see him, Liu Xiaojie had just gotten out of bed. Though his body was still weak, his injuries had long since stabilized, and there was nothing serious to worry about.
Bai Qi stepped forward, took Liu Xiaojie’s right hand, checked his pulse for a moment, and then slowly said, “Your injuries are not a major problem. You only need a few more days of rest, and with the elixirs I refine, in a few days you will naturally recover to your former condition.”
Not expecting Bai Qi to arrive in time and save his life, Liu Xiaojie was deeply moved. At once, despite his injuries, he knelt before Bai Qi and said, “Brother Bai, thank you for your help. Otherwise, I truly cannot imagine how I would have been slaughtered by them like this. It is all my fault for being too impulsive. I should have informed the sect at once.”
Bai Qi hurriedly helped Liu Xiaojie up and said, “Brother Liu, there is no need for this. I do not think this matter is as simple as it seems. There must be an insider within the sect, and his position is definitely not low. Or rather, he is familiar with every hall and handles the dealings between them with the ease of one long used to bribery and intrigue. So we cannot overlook the problem behind this matter. For now, do not alert the enemy. Today, I will go to the Alchemy Hall first and deal with some matters. Those two men in black have already been under my control. If you are able, go first to your master, the Third Elder, and make the matter clear. You may also go visit your sister, Lu Yao, while you are there.”
