Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 52: A Heart as Solid as Iron
When Long Yu was facing the Kongming tribe leader Yan Zhu at the east gate, Yan Zheng had already brought the witch doctor and Gong Lili on a Qiongqi and slowly landed in front of the strange-looking courtyard in the Ruoye tribe's palace.
Because this Qiongqi was so conspicuous, everyone in the Longyi Army in Yonghui City knew whose mount it was. Therefore, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and no one dared to shoot a sneak attack.
At this time, after the miraculous treatment of the Shamo witch doctor, Ping Lili's injuries have basically stabilized. Although his voice is weak, he can finally speak. The arrow that was inserted into his left shoulder has also been removed, but the injuries to his arms are still very serious. According to the witch doctor, it will take a long time of treatment to fully recover.
But Ping Lili couldn't wait that long. The battle was fierce both inside and outside the city. Senior Brothers Long Yu and Wu Su were fighting desperately. If she withdrew from the battle like this, Ping Lili would feel unwilling for the rest of her life. That's why she asked Yan Zheng to bring her here, because she knew there was someone here who could bring people back to life more effectively. And the small pond behind his courtyard was where Ping Lili placed her hope. She hoped that the mysterious guy could find a way to heal her as soon as possible.
Although the hope is slim, it is better to try your luck than to do nothing and regret it for the rest of your life.
And the imperial physician who was highly expected by Ping Lili lived up to her expectations. It was as if he had a telepathic connection with her. When the Qiongqi slowly landed above the courtyard, the middle-aged man standing by the door revealed a barely perceptible smile on his face.
"Miss Ping, I've been waiting for you for a long time. The 'Nine Heavens Jade Dew has been prepared for you." He said this, as if he had already expected that Ping Lili would come to find him. As he walked towards the Qiongqi, he naturally wanted to take Ping Lili from Yan Zheng's arms with one hand. Yan Zheng looked at him very vigilantly, took a step back slightly, frowned, and had no intention of letting go.
"You knew I would come?" Ying Lili's weak voice came. She was no less surprised than Yan Zheng at this moment. Why did the imperial physician know I would come? Could it be that he knew I would be injured? Ying Lili's heart suddenly tightened for no reason, and she thought of something else...
"I know what you are doubting, but I will not give you any explanation, and there is no need to explain. Since you come here, you trust me as a doctor. In this case, as a doctor, all I can do is try my best to help you recover to the best condition. As for other things, please find the answers yourself." Although he keeps saying that he is just a doctor, look at what he said, which sentence sounds like that of a simple doctor?
What role does this person play in this play?
Suddenly, a lot of information was tangled up in Pinglili's mind, but she had no clue.
Feeling Yan Zheng's body suddenly tense up behind her, Ping Lili knew his concerns, but at this moment, she had no choice but to trust this imperial physician, after all, she needed help from him.
Moreover, since the other party has said so openly that he wants to restore me to the best condition, it would be unfair to me if I continue to hesitate. Although this person's identity and behavior are very mysterious, his ability as a doctor is beyond doubt.
Moreover, Ping Lili subconsciously felt that even if this person wanted to harm him, he would not do it at this time, or in this way, because after all, he had too many opportunities to put him to death before, and obviously there was no need for him to do these things in such a pretentious manner. As the saying goes, barking dogs don't bite.
Thinking of this, Ping Lili looked up and said to Yan Zheng: "Yan Zheng, it's okay, he shouldn't harm me."
Although Yan Zheng heard what Gong Lili said, he still hesitated for a moment. After a long while, he said to the imperial physician in a rough voice, "You lead the way, I'll come."
Although Ping Lili said it was okay, Yan Zheng couldn't believe the person from the Ruoye tribe so easily, especially since this person's words and actions seemed so strange, as if everything was within his expectations, which made Yan Zheng unconsciously more cautious.
The imperial physician looked at Yan Zheng calmly and after seeing the other party's determination, he no longer insisted, made a gesture of invitation, and then cleared the way ahead.
Yan Zheng paused slightly, and after saying a few words to the Shamo tribe witch doctor who was squatting in front of the exotic flowers and plants in the front yard with his eyes wide open with great curiosity, he strode towards the backyard with Ping Lili in his arms, following the footsteps of the imperial physician.
It was still the same small pond, but the water this time was a little different from the 'Nine Heavens Jade Dew' that Ying Lili had bathed in that day. The green light from before was gone, and instead, it was a pool of azure spring water. The water droplets were crystal clear, and seemed to emit a wonderful fragrance, which was quite magical.
Ping Lili glanced at the imperial physician doubtfully, with a questioning look in her eyes.
He changed the subject, looked up at Gong Lili and said seriously: "Let me make it clear in advance, although the blue water of 'Nine Heavens Jade Dew' has a miraculous effect on the injuries on your arms and can achieve the immediate effect you want, however, everything has its pros and cons. Something that violates the natural laws of heaven and earth will naturally have..." "Just tell me directly what the sequelae will be, don't talk nonsense." Gong Lili interrupted his endless chatter rudely.
"Perhaps during the treatment, you will have various hallucinations. You must be careful not to let the hallucinations confuse your mind, otherwise..." The words of the imperial physician suddenly disappeared on the lips, because before he finished speaking, Ying Lili had already signaled Yan Zheng to put herself and her clothes into the pool. Without turning her head, she threw a sentence to the imperial physician: "Don't worry, there is nothing in this world that can shake my mind."
When these words came out, the imperial physician was actually startled, as if he thought he had heard wrongly. How could this half-grown girl say such arrogant words?
These words still made the imperial physician sigh after a long, long time. It was also after a long, long time that he realized that what Gong Lili said was actually true.
Heart as hard as iron.
Since when, there was only one firm thought in Pinglili's heart: live! Live well!
The small pool was not deep. As soon as Ying Lili stepped into the pool, he felt a warmth surging into his body. It was very comfortable, especially his badly injured arms. They were already bloody and even the bones were broken, but now he could feel that his arms were healing rapidly. At this moment, Ying Lili could even feel that every cell in his arms was being reborn!
This 'Nine Heavens Jade Dew' was truly extraordinary. Ping Lili held his breath and walked straight to the center of the small pool. He felt relaxed all over. Every wound on his body seemed to be healing at an astonishing speed. Ping Lili immersed his entire body in the small pool with a little indulgence, but in his heart he was guessing the real purpose of the imperial physician.
This person is too mysterious. He seems to know a lot of things and hold a lot of secrets. However, this person gives people a sense of uncertainty, as if such a person will not obey anyone's orders. What is his purpose? What does he want to do by staying in Yonghui City? How can Long Yu allow such a person to do so many seemingly mysterious things under his nose?
Ping Lili felt that she couldn't figure it out no matter what she did. She couldn't see through this person no matter what.
As I was thinking, I suddenly felt a pulling force beneath me, as if it was pulling me down. I was startled and suddenly found that a black vortex had suddenly appeared under the pool, spinning wildly.
And this suction force comes from this vortex!
This is a small pond of stagnant water, how could a whirlpool appear?
What is deep inside this vortex? What would happen if you were sucked into it?
The first reaction of Ying Lili was, was she trapped? Did the imperial physician really want to harm her?
She looked up and wanted to call Yan Zheng, but suddenly found that Yan Zheng had disappeared without a trace at some point, along with the figure of the imperial physician. There was a desolate space between heaven and earth, as if she was the only one left.
What’s even more bizarre is that this small pond seemed to have turned into a deep pool in an instant, so deep that you couldn’t see the bottom!
The black vortex began to grow bigger and bigger, and its suction force became stronger and stronger. Gong Lili struggled hard and wanted to climb out of the pond, but suddenly he felt his body being sucked into the black vortex by a powerful suction force!
This seemingly small pool of water seemed to have no bottom. Ying Lili could only feel the whirlpool that engulfed her spinning madly. An increasing pressure seemed to tear her internal organs apart. Everything in front of her was pitch black, and her consciousness seemed to be blurring bit by bit...
It was unknown how long it had passed, but when Pinglili regained consciousness, the person who appeared in front of her shocked her so much that she couldn't utter a word for a long time!
He was dressed in light blue clothes, had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, had black hair and slightly pursed lips. Who else could that be but Mo Yi, the man that Ping Lili had been thinking about day and night?
