The Immortal Fire

Chapter 10: Really Care

Xi Guan picked up a book from his desk, "Quick call Patriarch Fu before the news of the Phoenix's birth spread, I'm afraid that the child will become a contested object in the martial world."

According to Xi Guan's estimation, the robbers who escaped must have reported, and the discovery of the robbers' bodies will certainly raise many questions from various parties.

Zhou Li smiled faintly, "Guan-Guan, I honestly feel in your heart that you love Liu'er very much. You're always worried about her even if you don't show expression, but your heart can't lie."

Xi Guan pondered, his feeling of worry towards Liu Ying is indeed undeniable. He always showed an uncaring attitude even like hating the child. But no matter how much Xi Guan dodged, he did feel that he loved his granddaughter very much.

Even though he was already trying to hate Liu Ying, still his affection continued to deepen along with the hatred in his heart.

"Chairman Zhou, I don't think it's wise to discuss this kind of thing right now. Moreover, I'm just trying to save the martial world from division." Xi Guan shifted his gaze.

The old woman looked at Xi Guan intensely, "I'm sorry to have spoken such a sensitive matter here. But Guan-Guan I understand how you feel, I hope you won't regret taking this action."

Xing Guan stared back at Zhou Li sharply, "Sister, Zhou. I've made up my mind.no matter if she's Ruo'er's daughter or not, despite all that, the martial world is our responsibility."

"... I hope Sister Zhou can call me by my first name, then it cannot be repeated." after finishing her last sentence, Xi Guan left Zhou Li with Liu Ying lying in the room.

...***...

The sunlight from the west slipped from behind a rattan window in a room. Liu Ying scrunched his eyes as the glint of light flashed across his face, he could feel that the day had already been afternoon despite not having seen. His eyes were still tightly closed, but he could feel pain all over his body.

Liu Ying opened his eyes slowly and found himself lying down with his entire body wrapped in a bandage cloth.

He tried to move both of his hands, Liu Ying's entire body ached. On the back of his neck, it was like burning.

Liu Ying piled his weight with his palms to help him get up, but it was all in vain. His body was weak helplessly.

"You're sober, son?!" Zhou Li who had just arrived at the entrance immediately approached Liu Ying.

Zhou Li held a tray in his hand, the lying girl moved her neck to look at Zhou Li.

"Grandmother Zhou, what happened to me?" lirih Liu Ying is weak.

Meanwhile Zhou Li put down the warm water, food and some medicines he had brought, "Aiyyo! Don't you remember anymore?"

Liu Ying shook his head slowly. Zhou Li sighed, then helped the girl sit up and lean against the wall.

"You've just lost seven lives, of course you're this bad. Fortunately your wounds are not fatal, you are only in a coma of three days so it takes recovery time, at least one week. If you're unlucky you're probably paralyzed for life."

The old woman stared intently at Liu Ying and was replied with a snort by the girl, "Fuck! You guys are so desperate to get out of my sight. Find dead-!"

Liu Ying smiled bitterly, "What does it mean three days ... Oh, aye! Where are Jia Li and the Ugly Fox Fang?"

Hearing Liu Ying's question, Zhou Li raised both eyebrows and grinned.

"They're in the treatment room under the supervision of Physician Yu. Don't worry, your grandfather will definitely give you his wand after recovering," the woman laughed amusedly.

Liu Ying sighed heavily. Instead of comforting, the old woman sowed salt on the wound.

Seeing the change in Liu Ying's face, Zhou Li stopped his laughter then fondled Liu Ying's head warmly, "Son. The fate of your life is in your hands, the only thing that can change your fate is yourself."

"Grandmother Zhou, why are you saying that?" Liu Ying asked confusedly.

Usually Zhou Li was always joking with his words, it naturally became strange for Liu Ying who was a little foreign to such motivational words that Zhou Li had thrown at him.

"Don't think too hard, take a break before your fierce grandfather returns to nag you." Zhou Li chuckled amusedly.

Liu Ying began to flick his clothes so that Zhou Li could easily sprinkle medicine onto the wounds all over his body.

"Grandmother Zhou, on the day we were to the city back then, I heard a glimpse of the rebellion group to the Wei empire." Liu Ying ate some of the cookies that Zhou Li had brought earlier.

News of the Wei imperial defector group was indeed sticking up and spread in the martial world at this time. Reportedly, the leader of the group was a swordsman named Tang PeiHeng who came from the Han empire.

According to the stories of some people, Tang PeiHeng recruited his group since two years ago by organizing a charity event. Then he began to spread various influences to the community to depose Emperor Wei.

Zhou Li nodded his head at the story Liu Ying told, "Obviously Emperor Wei cannot hold back the group, Jiangnan city must be very chaotic at the moment."

Worse yet, Emperor Wei had a bad temper and had always taken action in such haste that it caused a lot of trouble since the previous Emperor's descent. Of course, it is increasingly a strong reason to remove him from office.

"Could the peace of the martial world be soon replaced by an era of chaos? After all Emperor Wei did not have a reliable heir, they would be more interested in the power struggle." Said Liu Ying while smiling obliquely with disdainful intent.

Zhou Li nailed the girl's head, "About! You don't have to interfere so much as to say bad things about other people, where's your gossipy talent coming from?"

"From you!" cut Liu Ying then laughed out loud.

Zhou Li's face instantly turned irritated, he was quite self-conscious as a reliable gossiper of the Golden Lotus Sect.

Not wrong, gossiping was Zhou Li's habit long ago. Even often taking information from various sources in that way, Liu Ying admitted that it was quite good and enviable.

Zhou Li immediately got up after hearing the door of the room being knocked from outside, he rushed to open it.

"ah! Looks like someone came to visit you."
