On the night of the eighth day, after Sun Mo finished his lesson, he planned to call Gu Xiuxun out for a meal. After that, he planned to go to a secluded place to have sex. In the end, Lu Zhiruo anxiously ran over to tell him that her junior martial sister Baiwu was about to die.
"What happened?"
Sun Mo asked as he rushed toward the Skyraise Academy's medical room.
"I … I don't know either. When we were hunting a Jade Eye Demonic Dragon, Junior Sister Baiwu suddenly started bleeding from her seven orifices. Her entire body was swollen and she was about to die."
The papaya girl was crying her heart out. Her eyes were red.
After Sun Mo's daily life stabilized, Lu Zhiruo and Ying Baiwu used the teleportation formation between cities to head to the Darkness Continent to train.
Because of the increase in their strength, they were no longer satisfied with adventuring at the bottom level. Hence, this time around, they chose to go to the fourth level. After entering, Ying Baiwu felt uncomfortable. However, she was a strong-willed girl and forcefully endured it, not saying anything. But as time passed by, her body grew increasingly weaker until she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Who told you to go to the fourth floor?"
Sun Mo cursed.
There was a problem with Ying Baiwu's body that Sun Mo still hadn't figured out. She was very healthy in the Nine Provinces, but the moment she went to the Darkness Continent, she started to have all sorts of uncomfortable reactions.
At the bottom, her body was only swollen, dizzy, vomiting, and nausea. But as she climbed higher, her symptoms became more and more serious, even threatening her life.
"Wu wu wu!"
Lu Zhiruo wiped her tears, not daring to look at Sun Mo.
Ying Baiwu felt that Sun Mo's current situation wasn't too good. Maybe one day, he would have a conflict with An Zhixia over the ownership of the Central Province Academy. Hence, she was in a rush to increase her strength. Going to the upper echelons of the Darkness Continent to temper herself was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Fool!"
After hearing the papaya girl's explanation, Sun Mo felt both heartache and helplessness.
When Sun Mo rushed to the medical room, there were already three doctors diagnosing Ying Baiwu. There were even more doctors rushing over.
This was Sun Mo's personal disciple. If he could cure her, he would gain a great favor from Sun Mo.
Who in the Nine Provinces didn't know that Sun Mo was a man who was extremely protective of his disciples? For the sake of his disciples, he would even dare to rebuke a secondary saint.
"Lian shi, Zhou shi, and Wu shi, how are they?"
Sun Mo squeezed to the front of the treatment table and asked.
"Very bad!"
Martial Master frowned, "There is a huge force in her body that is wantonly destroying her body. We want to draw it out, but we can't."
"Sun Mo, did you feed her any heavenly and earthly treasures?"
Teacher Lian asked.
"No!"
Sun Mo shook his head and looked at the unconscious Ying Baiwu. His eyes turned sour and he almost cried.
At this time, the iron-headed girl was already swollen beyond recognition. Her body was covered in bruises, and it was obvious that her skin was congested with blood.
His eyes, mouth, nostrils, and ears were all bleeding.
"Please, cure her. I'm willing to pay any price!"
Sun Mo's medical skills were definitely on par with ordinary doctors. However, when compared to these major characters from the Skyraise Academy, it was insufficient.
"Teacher Sun, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Even if it's an ordinary person we don't know, we will do our best to save him."
While Master Lian was speaking, he saw that all of the emergency treatment methods he had were useless. Thus, he took out the precious Life Prolonging Pill.
He had to save her life first.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight, but the feedback indicated that the target was unknown. This caused him to be so angry that he wanted to curse.
"System, where the hell have you been?"
Sun Mo roared a few times in his heart, but no one replied.
There was no solution to it. Sun Mo could only use the ancient massage technique to alleviate Ying Baiwu's pain.
More and more doctors came. There were even two 8-star great teachers with the title of Medical Saint. They gathered together and began to treat Ying Baiwu.
"Teacher Sun, don't be anxious!"
Ji Shiwen also rushed over at the first instant. After consoling Sun Mo, he came to the side of the bed. However, after he glanced at Ying Baiwu, his body suddenly stiffened.
This symptom...
"All of you, get out!"
Ji Shiwen instructed. He pushed the doctor away and walked to Ying Baiwu's side, checking her body. After that, his expression became uncontrollably agitated.
Swoosh!
Everyone looked over.
The headmaster's expression didn't seem right!
"Get out!"
Ji Shiwen urged.
"Headmaster!"
The doctor was unwilling. Firstly, such symptoms were rare and they wanted to see what disease caused it so they could learn from it. Secondly, if they went out, how would they be able to sell Sun Mo a favor?
"Sun Mo, stay behind. Everyone else, get out!"
Ji Shiwen didn't have the mood to care about them and directly spoke his holy words.
BOOM!
A formless energy instantly enveloped the medical room. Everyone present couldn't control their bodies and quickly walked out of the room.
"Saint, do you have a solution?"
Sun Mo looked at Ji Shiwen with hope.
"Why don't you tell me about her background first?"
Ji Shiwen counter-asked. He quickly tapped over a hundred times on Ying Baiwu's body. After that, his entire person vanished. Ten seconds later, he appeared again.
However, this time around, he was holding a metal box in his hand. When he opened it, there were all sorts of bottles and some exquisite surgical instruments inside.
Although Sun Mo didn't understand Ji Shiwen's thoughts, he still answered honestly.
"She's a child from a poor family!"
Sun Mo told him about the process of how he got to know Ying Baiwu.
"Just this?"
Ji Shiwen frowned. He already knew about this when he investigated Sun Mo. "What about the others? For example, her true parents?"
"Mn?"
Sun Mo didn't understand. (Why are you asking this?) "Her father is a stepfather, and her mother is a seamstress!"
Actually, Ying Baiwu's mother was also a part-time prostitute. When she couldn't live on, she would work as a prostitute for a few days.
Naturally, Sun Mo had to consider Ying Baiwu's face and mustn't tell Ji Shiwen about this.
"Sun Mo, you should leave as well!"
Ji Shiwen hesitated a little before suggesting.
"Must I?"
Sun Mo didn't wish to leave. This was the disciple he pitied the most.
"The treatment process will be very inhumane. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it and will stop me midway."
Ji Shiwen's words caused Sun Mo to be dumbfounded. After that, he fell silent.
Sun Mo wasn't a fool. Hence, he could read too many hidden meanings from Ji Shiwen's words.
Among the doctors present earlier, there was a Medical Saint, but all of them were helpless. However, Ji Shiwen only took a glance and knew what Ying Baiwu's symptoms were.
And now, Ji Shiwen had targeted medical instruments and medicine. The most important thing was that he didn't hide the word 'inhumane' from Sun Mo.
"Don't worry, even if I have to pay with my life, I'll do my best to save her!"
Ji Shiwen consoled. Glistening tears flashed in his eyes.
"Then I'll have to trouble you!"
Sun Mo bowed deeply to Ji Shiwen and left the room. After that, he stood at the door and guarded it for Ji Shiwen.
What followed next was a long wait.
One day.
Two days.
...
Five days passed.
Many people came to express their condolences and concern for Sun Mo, but all of them were rejected by Sun Mo. Moreover, he forcefully placed the entire building under martial law.
As the vice-headmaster, he had this authority.
Even if he didn't, Sun Mo would rely on his martial strength and trump cards to do so.
"What on earth are they doing?"
Luo Yueman glanced at the medical room, feeling very curious.
During these few days, a large amount of spirit qi kept on gathering there. Occasionally, there would even be spirit qi tides that gushed in wantonly. This was a sign of a major experiment.
After considering Sun Mo's influence, Luo Yueman gave up on forcefully barging in to investigate. At night, he returned home and was about to check his grandson's homework when he suddenly discovered that there was one more person in the study.
...
Sun Mo sat on the ground, leaning against the wall and hugging his head with both hands. A feeling of self-blame and helplessness kept on churning in his heart.
(Why didn't I pay more attention to Baiwu's body?)
Actually, Sun Mo couldn't be blamed. Even with his ancient massage technique, he didn't find any problems with Ying Baiwu. Hence, he naturally relaxed.
All of a sudden, the sound of breathing could be heard beside him. It sounded so weak and fatigued.
Sun Mo's body stiffened. He knew that Ji Shiwen had come out. He wanted to ask how Ying Baiwu was, but he was afraid of hearing a terrifying news.
"Don't worry, she is no longer in danger."
Ji Shiwen chuckled.
Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that the dark clouds that had been pressing down on his head for the past few days had finally dispersed.
Ji Shiwen was very tired. He also leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to the ground. After that, he stared at the ceiling and spat out five words!
"Sun Mo, thank you!"
It was said that men shouldn't cry easily, but Ji Shiwen was crying. One must know that he wasn't just a man, but he was also a saint. His emotional management shouldn't be so bad.
However, Sun Mo was tactful and didn't ask for the reason.
"Are you willing to listen to a story?"
Ji Shiwen asked.
"I'm all ears!"
Sun Mo wanted to look at Ying Baiwu, but he also knew that what Ji Shiwen was going to say next might be very important. Hence, he endured it.
"Everyone thinks that I don't have a wife or a child. In truth, I once had a daughter!"
Ji Shiwen sank into his memories.
"That year, I was adventuring in the Darkness Continent with like-minded friends. At that time, my wife was already pregnant. Logically speaking, I should have returned to the Nine Provinces and let her rest in peace. However, we worked hard for over twenty years and found that ruin. We were only a step away from pursuing the truth. I really couldn't accept this! Hence, we decided to stay in the ruin!
"On a rainy day, my wife gave birth prematurely. It was only then that I knew that we had always been exposed to a type of radiation.
"When I hugged the little life that had died, I couldn't accept it. For the sake of the world, I had already sacrificed a lot. Why did the heavens still want to snatch away my child?
"I went crazy. I ignored the persuasion of my companions and used the mysterious secret treasures I found in the ruin, as well as those forbidden techniques that I didn't fully understand, in an attempt to save my daughter.
"I succeeded, using dark technology to revive that little life. However, my great teacher circle also had a disagreement.
"They thought that I was desecrating life, and they also thought that the little life that came back from the dead was not my child, but had been possessed by that dark consciousness. If I raised her, it would definitely be a great disaster for the Nine States."
"At that time, I didn't listen to anything. In the end, the argument turned into a conflict. My wife was killed by accident."
In truth, it couldn't be considered an accident. It was just a female great teacher who had always been secretly in love with Ji Shiwen and was jealous of his wife.
A chaotic battle erupted.
Because Ji Shiwen had been using the forbidden technique for tens of days consecutively, his spirit qi and body were greatly depleted. He, who should have been the strongest, was extremely weak and didn't have the strength to protect his daughter.
"Seeing that my daughter was about to be killed, I became hot-headed and activated the restrictions of the dark ruins, causing it to collapse and bury everyone alive."
Upon recalling this matter, Ji Shiwen's heart was filled with self-blame and regret.
Back then, when he saw his beloved wife dying, he had already lost his rationality. There should have been many ways to solve the problem, but in the end, he chose the most bloody one.
"That little life..."
Sun Mo glanced toward the medical room.
"She should be your disciple!"
Ji Shiwen bitterly smiled. "Her symptoms are the same as the radiation in the ruin. Also, the most crucial point is that I found the remains of that secret treasure in her body, as well as traces of me using the forbidden technique."
If Ying Baiwu lived in the Nine Provinces for her entire life, she would be able to live a peaceful life as an ordinary person. However, she went to the Darkness Continent and cultivated non-stop as she grew up, causing the secret treasure of darkness buried in her heart to be damaged.
"This should be something that happened many years ago, right?"
Sun Mo found it a little hard to accept. The timing didn't match up!
"That's right. But you must know that there are many mysterious and unknown powers in the Darkness Continent. Everything is possible!"
Ji Shiwen was very agitated and reiterated once again, "That's my daughter!"
"..."
Sun Mo furrowed his brows. His mind was a little chaotic. How did Ying Baiwu survive? Why did she appear in Jinling?
However, from the looks of it, Ji Shiwen also didn't know and didn't plan to pursue this. To him, regaining his daughter was the greatest joy in life.
"Sun Mo, what do you think of Baiwu?"
Ji Shiwen turned his head and looked at Sun Mo.
"Strong, courageous, and fearless. Among my disciples, the one I feel the most heartache for is Baiwu!"
Sun Mo didn't lie.
Ying Baiwu's life since she was young was too bitter. After she entered the Central Province Academy, she didn't enjoy the youthful times of a student. She spent every day cultivating with all her might.
Sun Mo knew that Ying Baiwu wasn't doing this for her future. She was doing this to repay him.
"I hope that she will live for herself in the future, but she doesn't listen."
Sun Mo sighed.
"Because her future is given by you!"
Ji Shiwen knew that the insignificant Sun Mo had stood out and defeated the Central Province Academy's vice headmaster for the sake of Ying Baiwu.
Sun Mo entered the medical room and took a look at Ying Baiwu. After that, he came out and chatted with Ji Shiwen until morning arrived.
"Saint, why don't you go and rest for a while?"
Sun Mo suggested. Ji Shiwen was so tired that there were dark circles under his eyes.
"No, I want to stay here and guard her. I cannot lose her again."
Ji Shiwen rejected.
Sun Mo didn't insist either. With the saint around, Ying Baiwu's life would be more secure.
In the morning, Lu Zhiruo and Qin Yaoguang brought breakfast over again.
Sun Mo finally had the mood to eat a mouthful.
"Saint, have some."
Sun Mo passed a bun to Ji Shiwen.
"Mn!"
Ji Shiwen nodded. However, after he took the bun and took a bite, he frowned and inclined his head to look at the corridor.
With Luo Yueman in the lead, over a hundred people from the school's upper echelon were here.
"Why does it feel like they are here to denounce me?"
Qin Yaoguang didn't understand.
