When Qiu Yihan woke up, she was already lying in her room. Her face was pale, her lips were cyanotic, and her bright eyes had lost their usual luster. Her shoulders were wrapped in a thick cotton cloth, and she felt pain and discomfort.
She tried her best to open her eyes wide and tried to sit up. However, just as she was about to straighten her body, an intense pain assaulted her entire body. She could not help but moan a few times, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Hearing Qiu Yihan's moan, Zhang Ying and Chou Wudi, who were napping on the chair, turned around immediately. They looked at Qiu Yihan in surprise and shouted in unison,""Miss, you're awake?"
Qiu Yihan endured the pain and said slowly,""Why are you guys here?"
Hearing Qiu Yihan's question, Zhang Ying laughed out loud,""Young miss, you're finally awake. Brother Wudi and I have been taking care of you for three days and three nights!”
"What is it? I slept for three days and three nights?" Qiu Yihan felt a dull pain in his head as he rubbed his temples in disbelief.
"Yes, yes, yes! You've been unconscious for three days and three nights because of hunger and excessive blood loss. Cult Master and we are all worried to death!”Chou Wudi said excitedly.
Qiu Yihan slowly recalled the scene of her father locking her up in the dungeon and getting bitten by a wild wolf. Her heart ached as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Cult Master is worried about me? He can't wait for me to die!" Qiu Yihan cried out sadly. If the Cult Master really treated her as his daughter, would he have the heart to let a hungry wolf bite her? If the Cult Master was worried about her safety, why would he be so heartless?
Zhang Ying's face sank and he said coldly," Eldest Miss, your words hurt the Sect Master's heart too much. He didn't sleep for three days and three nights to treat your injuries. He only left when a disciple came looking for him!”
Qiu Yihan looked at Zhang Ying doubtfully. She did not believe that her father, who had always liked her, would stay by her side for three days and three nights. This must be a lie made up by the Right Protector to ease the tension between her and the Sect Leader.
Seeing Qiu Yihan's suspicious look, Chou Wudi said seriously,""Guardian Zhang is right. Cult Master actually dotes on you. Don't make him sad again!”
Qiu Yihan looked at the left and right protectors for a while before laughing out loud,""His love has a purpose. I will always be a chess piece in his hands, just a chess piece!”
Zhang Ying and Chou Wudi looked at each other. After a long time, Zhang Ying said,""Young miss, lie down and rest. I'll go brew some medicine for you!”After saying that, Zhang Ying glanced at Qiu Yihan, who had a cold expression on her face, and quickly walked out of the house.
Qiu Yihan lay quietly on the bed. The wound on her arm was as painful as a needle. Thinking back to the days and nights in the dungeon, she could not help but shiver. Do you still want to acknowledge such a father? Should he continue living like this?
"Young miss, don't be afraid. Your wound will heal in three to four days!”Seeing Qiu Yihan's terrified expression, Chou Wudi comforted her softly.
" I'm not afraid," Qiu Yihan replied calmly." You haven't rested for a few days. Go back to your room and rest!"”
"I am under the orders of the Cult Master to take care of the Eldest Young Miss. I cannot leave without permission!”
"What cult master's order? He's afraid that I'll run away, right? Don't worry, I won't run. Go to sleep!”Seeing Chou Wudi's bloodshot eyes, Qiu Yihan was a little angry. This vicious father, he actually locked me up like a prisoner and even dragged the Left and Right Guardians along with him.
"Young miss, I'm not tired! Let me stay and take care of you!"
Qiu Yihan saw that Chou Wudi had no intention of leaving, so she did not say anything else. She closed her eyes quietly, thinking about how she should proceed in the future.
"Yihan, you're awake! Daddy is so happy!" Leng Feihu laughed as he followed Zhang Ying into Qiu Yihan's room.
Seeing the Sect Leader arrive, Chou Wudi hurriedly bowed. Qiu Yihan, who was lying on the bed, turned around angrily, leaving Leng Feihu with a back view.
Zhang Ying put down the steaming bowl of medicine in his hand and shouted at Qiu Yihan's back,""Young miss, the cult master is here to see you!”
Qiu Yihan pretended not to hear him and continued to lie down quietly. In her heart, Leng Feihu was not her father at all, but a demon who wanted to kill her.
Seeing that his daughter was ignoring him, Leng Feihu smiled awkwardly. He sat on the chair beside the bed and picked up the bowl of medicine on the table.
"Yihan, I know you hate your father, but your body is yours. You still have to take the medicine! Only after you take the medicine will you have the strength to be angry with Father!”At this moment, Leng Feihu was just like an ordinary person, playing the role of a good father.
Hearing his words, Qiu Yihan was both surprised and touched. This was the first time she had heard her father speak so humbly. She wanted to go back and drink that bowl of medicine, but when she thought of how her father had let the poisonous snake bite her in the dungeon, her heart turned cold.
"Alright, Yihan! You're not young anymore. I'm doing this for your own good! Think about it, heroes are everywhere now. If you want to have a place in Jianghu, you must have super martial arts skills. What I want to teach you is the unique martial arts in Jianghu. If you learn it well, you can live any kind of life. You will be respected by thousands of people and laugh at the world!”
"But I don't want to learn. I just want to live an ordinary life!”Qiu Yihan slowly turned around, her eyes widened as she shouted coldly.
Leng Feihu's face darkened. Now that the fragrance has disappeared, I can only nurture you properly. I hope that our White Bone Cult can prosper under your leadership!”After he finished speaking, Leng Feihu stood up and handed the bowl of medicine to Zhang Ying. He said coldly,"Look after Yihan and take good care of her. Her wounds must heal within five days!”
Zhang Ying took the bowl and nodded to Chou Wudi.""Sect Master, don't worry. This subordinate will definitely take good care of Eldest Miss!”
"Alright, I'll be leaving then!" Leng Feihu glared at Qiu Yihan and left the room angrily.
Watching Leng Feihu walk away, Chou Wudi and Zhang Ying slowly turned around. Zhang Ying placed the bowl of medicine by Qiu Yihan's mouth and said coldly,""Young miss, quickly drink the medicine while it's hot!”
"I don't want to drink it. I'd rather die than live in such an environment!”Qiu Yihan's eyes were cold and lifeless.
"Young miss, it wasn't easy for the cult master to save you, so don't say such disheartening words!”Chou Wudi shouted unhappily.
"Cult Master is doing this for your own good. For the sake of your health, quickly drink the medicine!”Zhang Ying advised.
After hearing the advice of the left and right guardians, Qiu Yihan thought about the beautiful wish that she had yet to fulfill. She slowly sat up straight, picked up the steaming bowl of medicine, and gulped down the bitter medicine in one go.
Seeing that Qiu Yihan had finished drinking the decoction, Zhang Ying happily handed her some water to rinse her mouth. Chou Wudi, who was beside her, smiled and said,""That's more like our young miss. As long as your body recovers, you can slowly walk the road in the future!”
When Qiu Yihan heard Chou Wudi's words, she thought,""As long as I am alive, there will be hope. As long as I, Qiu Yihan, am still alive, one day, I will be able to obtain true freedom and true happiness!”
In the next few days, Qiu Yihan took her medicine on time and her wounds healed in less than three days. She had been cooped up in the house for so long that she was about to get sick. Early in the morning, she opened the door happily and prepared to take a walk in the courtyard, look at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and play on the swing. But who knew that the moment she stepped out of the room, she almost tripped over something. Then, she let out a miserable cry. Zhang Ying gritted his teeth and hugged his feet as he jumped up from the ground.
"Aiya, my foot!"
Qiu Yihan looked at Zhang Ying with a puzzled expression as she held back her laughter,""Why are you squatting at my door so early in the morning? You almost made me fall!”
"I, I've been here all night!" Zhang Ying said in a low voice as he slowly put down his foot that was still in pain.
"Oh, so you're still afraid that I'll escape!”Qiu Yihan shouted angrily.
"I'm following Cult Master's orders. Please don't make things difficult for this subordinate, Eldest Young Miss.”
"I've been cooped up in the house for so many days that I'm going crazy. Can I go out and get some fresh air?”
"But Cult Master said that before Eldest Young Miss recovers, she must not be allowed to go out!”
"My wound has healed. I'm fine! If you're afraid that I'll run away, come with me to the courtyard!”Qiu Yihan glared at Zhang Ying impatiently. She did not expect her father to send the Left and Right Guardians to watch over her day and night. It seemed that it would be extremely difficult for her to escape from the White Bone Cult.
"Are you really alright?" Zhang Ying looked at Qiu Yihan in disbelief.
"Alright, if you don't believe me, take a look!" Qiu Yihan said as she swung her injured arm.
After confirming that Qiu Yihan was fine, Zhang Ying reluctantly agreed to her request and followed her into the courtyard.
Without Qiu Yihan and her sister's watering, many of the plants in the courtyard had withered and died. Seeing the dead plants, Qiu Yihan sighed sadly. She slowly walked to the swing and gently sat down on the dusty seat. Her mood improved a lot under the gentle breeze. Suddenly, she thought of the scene when she used to play on the swing with Qing Xiang. Every time, their laughter filled the garden, making this lifeless and dark place full of vitality. However, now, she could no longer hear the laughter of the sisters in this huge courtyard. The younger sister who used to be inseparable from her was like a stranger. She wondered if her younger sister would still think of her doting older sister?
Thinking of Leng Qingxiang, Qiu Yihan's heart sank even more. She was the one who had caused her younger sister to lose her true love. She was the one who had taken away her younger sister's original happiness. Leng Qingxiang could not forgive her for what had happened in the past. The only thing she could do was to wish her younger sister well in her heart. She hoped that she would find her true happiness in some corner of the world. At the same time, she hoped that her younger sister would forgive her one day!
