1791 Occultist Sorcerers (1/2)

Qin Yitian shook her head. ”Childe Chen, stop joking around… I can never leave Heaven Dominating Faction…”

She was their core disciple, one of the few who had been given prioritized nurture. She could not just switch factions as she pleased. The consequences of leaving Heaven Dominating Faction were unimaginable!

Chen Xiaobei shrugged and changed the subject. ”Your shidi's condition is stable now. I will prescribe some medicine for him, both oral and topical. Tomorrow and the day after, I will perform two more sessions of acupuncture on him, and he should be able to leave the bed and walk. After that, he can go home and rest. He'll be fully recovered in a month's time!”

”Thank you very much, Childe Chen!” Qin Yitian said gratefully. ”Your skills are really extraordinary… I hope you can forgive me for my many trespasses…”

”Why? You don't think I'm being conceited anymore?” Chen Xiaobei teased.

Qin Yitian pouted. ”No, of course not… You are a truly rare prodigy! With the kind of skills and talents you possess, you have every right to be proud! You are not conceited, just unapologetically self-confident!”

”You really do know what to say!” Chen Xiaobei smiled. ”Alright. I'll have Wugui prepare a place for you to rest. For the next two days, the both of you will stay in the prince's residence so it'll convenient for me to treat the patient!”

After Qin Yitian left with the injured man, Chen Xiaobei returned to cultivating again.

This time, he was uninterrupted for a good twenty-four hours – right until the next morning.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Early phase of God-Ascension cultivation; Lifespan: 1,100; Health: 505,900; Combat power: 505,900]

The result of 24 hours of cultivation was doubled, which meant both his health and combat power were each increased by 4,800. His progress was very much evident at this point.

After that, Chen Xiaobei proceeded to treat the patient with his needles.

The entire healing process went smoothly.

Once the treatment was over, Qin Yitian would not stop thanking Chen Xiaobei. She even came out to send him back to his quarters.

”Go watch over the patient. You don't have to walk me back!” Chen Xiaobei said.

”No, I should!” Qin Yitian said. ”My shidi is getting better! It's all thanks to you! I don't know how to repay you. This is the least I can do!”

Chen Xiaobei nodded, and asked in the most casual manner, ”Your relationship with that shidi of yours is special, right?”

Qin Yitian was a special woman with a ruthless aura about her. She would never take a second look at a common man.

But the fact that she brought her shidi all the way across the starfield to him, and even thanked Chen Xiaobei a million times for his help, could only mean that she shared a special relationship with this shidi of hers.

”Actually, no. There's nothing special about my relationship with shidi Lin.” Qin Yitian answered. ”An enemy was going to attack me but shidi Lin came to my rescue and took a hit! Strictly speaking, I owe him my life. It was only right for me to help him!”

”Oh, so that's it?!” Chen Xiaobei grinned. ”I thought you were a couple!”

”Of course not!” Qin Yitian looked uncomfortable and quickly tried to change the subject. ”I was thinking about how I was going to repay his family if he died, but now that you've healed him, I owe you my life!”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. ”Lady Qin, you're too polite. You've helped me too. If you see me as a friend, there's no need for us to be so calculative!”

”No! They are completely unrelated – this has to do with a person's life! I owe you a life! I will repay you when I get the chance!”

Chen Xiaobei did not answer. Instead, he asked, ”Which fight was it in your starfield that nearly got you killed?”
