Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Failure to Borrow the Ink Stone

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng reached out and placed his hand on her fair wrist.

"What are you doing?" The black-clothed woman thought Chu Feng was taking advantage of her and asked angrily.

Chu Feng did not answer her but pressed lightly on the pulse of her wrist with his fingers.

Moments later, Chu Feng said indifferently, "Nine heart meridians, fully five are broken, you really are doomed!"

"You..." The black-clothed woman was so angry that she gnashed her teeth; she had never met someone so detestable. It was bad enough that she was injured and on the verge of death, but this person also had to kick her while she was down, wishing her an early death.

This time, Chu Feng had concocted four Continuation Pills, one of which was meant to save his second sister. Under normal circumstances, one pill would be enough.

However, for the sake of caution, he kept the remaining three as backup.

"Forget it, meeting is destiny! Although I have been kind all my life and met with a wretched end, it does not affect my ongoing benevolence!" Chu Feng thought for a moment and fumbled for the jade box containing the Continuation Pills.

"Open your mouth!" Chu Feng commanded after taking out a Continuation Pill.

"You’re despicable!" The black-clothed woman could not help but rage; she thought Chu Feng had touched her hand and now wanted to take even greater liberties with her.

"Women are really troublesome!" Chu Feng pressed on an acupoint on her body, and she immediately opened her mouth to scream. However, an Elixir Pill was forcefully stuffed into her cherry lips.

"Mmm mmm..."

She immediately tried to push it out with her tongue, attempting to spit it out.

Chu Feng then slapped her on the back. She involuntarily drew a sharp breath and involuntarily swallowed the Elixir in her mouth.

The Elixir was incredibly magical, melting as soon as it entered the mouth.

"What, what did you feed me?" The black-clothed woman was even more outraged and ready to kill Chu Feng regardless of everything.

But then she heard Chu Feng’s calm voice, "As long as it’s not a poison with the intention of harming life, it’s fine!"

In just those short ten-odd seconds, the Elixir turned into a cool energy and rapidly dispersed. The black-clothed woman’s eyes widened in shock.

Because to her amazement, her broken heart meridians were actually healing.

And the speed was very fast.

All the bruises, without exception, dissipated. This was truly miraculous.

By this time, she finally understood Chu Feng’s good intentions.

It turned out that this seemingly frivolous young man was actually saving her.

"Diagnosing the pulse, Elixir Pills that mend the meridians... These skills are impossible for an average Pill Master. He only touched one’s wrist briefly, yet he could accurately determine how many meridians were broken."

"The Continuation Pill is extremely precious; even with money, it’s hard to buy. He casually took out one and fed it to oneself."

"Moreover, the effect of this Continuation Pill is many times better than the one she had ingested before."

The black-clothed woman couldn’t help but be curious about Chu Feng, and besides feeling ashamed, there was also a trace of gratitude in her heart. If Chu Feng hadn’t brought her here after she had fainted, she would have probably been captured by the Imperial Guards by now.

Noisy footsteps resonated from outside, followed by a rough voice that bellowed.

"Search! Carefully search every corner! Leave no suspicious place unchecked!"

It seemed that someone was standing outside the modest Land God Temple, holding a torch, shining it into the temple. Generally speaking, Land God Temples are very small, only half the height of an adult.

Besides, the space inside was very limited, just enough to fit the God’s case and the statue of the Earth Spirit.

Normally, it would be immediately obvious if someone was hiding inside upon shining a light.

Chu Feng could clearly feel that the black-clothed woman in his arms was trembling slightly. Tense.

It seemed that she was very nervous.

Perhaps out of reverence for the Divine Soul, the Imperial Guards outside just shone the light briefly and then left.

"They may come back to search again! The gates of the Imperial City are tightly closed, you have no chance of escaping."

"Where are you from? Do you have any acquaintances or relatives here in the Imperial City?"

Chu Feng appeared very calm, and did not let his guard down due to the departure of the Imperial Guard.

"No!" She did not divulge a single word about her origins.

"Then that’s quite troublesome! It seems that my Continuation Pill is most likely to be wasted!" Chu Feng frowned slightly.

"What do you mean? Are you cursing me to die?" the black-clothed woman was furious.

Figuring that the Imperial Guard had already walked far away, the black-clothed woman’s injuries had also recovered somewhat.

Being held by Chu Feng like this, her beautiful face couldn’t take it anymore. She immediately struggled out of Chu Feng’s embrace and crawled out from under God’s case.

"Hey, where are you going?" Chu Feng crawled out from under God’s case and found that the black-clothed woman was already walking outside.

"None of your business!" After saying that, she left without looking back.

Chu Feng shook his head and thought to himself, wishing her luck!

He still had important matters to attend to, having been delayed for so long, and moreover, this place was a land of conflict, not suitable to stay for long.

He immediately quickened his pace towards the Sword King Mansion.

On the way, he was especially cautious. Luckily, it was deep into the night, and there weren’t many people around.

Under the cover of darkness, Chu Feng returned to the Sword King Mansion without incident.

He knocked on the door knocker lightly, and Chu Danzi quickly came to open the door, groggy from sleep.

"Third Prince, you’re finally back! The Eldest Prince has been worried about you!" When Chu Danzi saw Chu Feng, a relieved and happy smile instantly appeared on his face.

His health had improved a lot after taking the prescription that Chu Feng had prepared for him.

This made him even more grateful to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng immediately walked into the mansion and soon saw his senior brother and sister-in-law sitting in the hall with worried faces.

"Third brother, it’s good that you’re back! There was talk of an assassin in the Imperial Palace, and the whole Imperial City is in chaos! You hadn’t returned, and I was worried about you, ready to go out and look for you!" Chu Jianlan was nearly beside himself with worry.

Seeing his younger brother return safely, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the second sister already had an accident, and if something happened to the third brother too, he wouldn’t know how to go on.

"Auntie, I failed to borrow the Ink stone that Suppresses Sword Qi... I’m sorry!" Sister-in-law said with her lips quivering, expressing her pain.

"Sigh! You know, when your auntie chose to marry me, she fell out with her family. When we went to borrow the Ink stone this time, not only did we not get it, but we also faced a lot of humiliation. Even kneeling and begging her family was of no use..."

As he recounted the experience of trying to borrow the Ink stone, the senior brother’s fists clenched with a crackling sound, and fury surged in his eyes.

It seems the humiliation they suffered was beyond imagining.

Otherwise, the senior brother would not be so angry.

"Third brother, did you successfully request the Elixir from our master?" the senior brother asked.

"Mm! I’ve got it back!" Chu Feng nodded, took out the prepared Continuation Pill, and handed it to his sister-in-law. "This pill can mend the meridians, but without a treasure to Suppress Sword Qi, I’m afraid it will hardly be effective..."

Chu Feng racked his brains for a solution.

"If it really comes to it, I’ll go to the Imperial Palace and borrow it tomorrow! My father had made great contributions to the Jianyun Dynasty in his lifetime; I refuse to believe that the Emperor is truly so heartless!" the senior brother said through clenched teeth.

Chu Feng’s expression changed subtly, as he was not particularly clear about the grievances between the Sword King Mansion and the Imperial Family.

He decided to take this opportunity to ask his senior brother more about it.

As the three of them went to the second sister’s room, her face appeared even paler. The consequences of her Heart Meridian breaking were severe; she would continue to lose blood and eventually die.

They must borrow the treasure that Suppresses Sword Qi as soon as possible.

"Senior brother, I’ve grown up now; aren’t you going to tell me about the past events that took place in the Sword King Mansion?"

"Why did our father and mother die? Why don’t I have any sword meridians in my body?"

Chu Feng asked.
