C275 (1/2)
At this moment, I discovered that Xue Xiao Qi's forehead was full of sweat, and his entire body seemed to be exhausted. Even his steps were trembling a little.
He walked to the corner of the room, filled a pan of water and washed his hands before sitting down on a chair. He took a few deep breaths, stood up, walked to the side of the sleeping Old Master Xue Yassong, and lightly touched him, saying, ”Father … Their needles are all gone … ”
Xue Yassong drowsily opened his eyes and looked around in a daze. He then said, ”I'm done. So fast …”
”It can't be considered fast. The sky has already darkened …” Xue Xiaoqi said respectfully.
Xue Yassong then glanced outside the yard and nodded, saying, ”Hmm, it's really dark now. It's actually been so long …”
As he spoke, Old Master Xue stood up and walked towards us. He only casually glanced at the silver needles on our bodies, then nodded and said: ”Not bad, this needle is pretty good, then prepare them for the next step. If all goes well, the cold poison in their bodies should be completely removed after three days.”
He cupped his hands and said: ”This move is the most important step, and everything is going well. Leave the rest for my son to do. I still have some other things to do, so I won't be accompanying you.”
Luo Weiping immediately bowed and said politely, ”Mr. Xue, please be at ease. I must trouble you this time. When these two people's injuries have healed, you will definitely be grateful …”
”What are you saying? Since Taoist Master Long Xuan is the one who introduced us, then we are all friends of the Xue Clan, there's no need to talk about whether we should thank you or not. If we go out and travel in the martial arts world, our Xue Clan might have some help that you guys can help out with. At that time, don't delay the time …” Old Master Xue politely said.
With that, he instructed Xue Yassong, ”In a while, take out the two guest rooms on the east side and stay with them.”
Xue Xiao Qi nodded his head in agreement.
”Thank you very much, Mr. Xue. As long as the Xue Family says it, our special task force will help if we don't violate the rules.” Luo Weiping promised.
”This is very good … ”That's good …” After Old Master Xue exchanged a few pleasantries, he strode out of the room.
In my heart, however, I was puzzled. From start to finish, this old man Xue didn't seem to have helped me. He only slept for a bit here, then he drifted away. He really is a strange old man.
At this moment, only the few of us are left in the room. Xue Xiaoqi rested for a moment, and when Li Rujie woke up, it was already 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening.
After that, Xue Xiaoqi returned to my side and began to pull out the needles on my body one by one. Even with this pulling out of needles, it took me over an hour to do so.
When all of the silver needles on Li Renjie's and I were pulled out, I immediately felt relaxed. At the same time, my body could also feel the temperature. However, my body was still somewhat cold and I was unable to circulate my energy.
When Xue Xiao Qi saw that it was already late, she got Luo Wei Ping to help us change into a new set and helped us stay in the two guest rooms on the east side.
The night passed in silence.
