1522: Self-Blame

Self-Blame

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu's heart sank. After washing up, she walked out of the room accompanied by Xuanyuan Mo Ze and came to her mother's courtyard. 0

"Master, you're awake? Are you feeling better?"

When Leng Shuang and the others had seen Feng Jiu emerge from the room with Hell's Lord, they had stepped forward quickly to greet her. 

"Yes, I'm much better. How is my mother? Has she woken up today?" Feng Jiu looked at Leng Shuang and asked.

"No, Madam has been unconscious since she had returned, but the whip lashes on her body have almost healed after applying medicine. It's just her internal injuries…." Leng Shuang paused slightly and didn't say anything more. 

Feng Jiu nodded: "I will go in and take a look."

The others had stayed outside and only Xuanyuan Mo Ze accompanied her inside. When she walked into the room and saw Shangguan Wanrong lying on the bed, she stepped forward and called out: "Mother?"

She stepped forward and checked her pulse. Her eyebrows couldn't help but twist. Sure enough, the medicines that were originally sealed in her body had dispersed and spread through her body. Master Third Sun had originally wanted to use her as a human furnace to refine a pill, and now….

Xuanyuan Mo Ze stood by the side and watched. When he saw her eyebrows had twisted slightly, he knew that her condition was not easy to solve. Therefore, he asked: "I know that there are a lot of medicines within your mother's body, but don't worry. As long as there is no danger at present, there will definitely be a solution."

"Yes, I know." She sighed lightly and stood up. She looked at her unconscious mother and said: "I never expected her to be injured so seriously. I thought that I would be able to save her while keeping her safe. But…"

She was too confident, too headstrong, she shouldn't have gambled with her mother's safety. 

"No, you've done really well. There are no absolutes in this world. How could you have known that something like this would happen? What will come will come, and it can't be avoided. Maybe this is your mother's fate." He comforted her softly as he didn't want her to blame herself because the matter was out of her control.

He glanced at the unconscious Shangguan Wanrong lying on the bed and said to Feng Jiu: "Let's go out to talk."

"Alright." She responded. After she pulled the quilt over her mother, she followed him out of the room and sat down in the courtyard with him. 

"Master, eat something! You've not eaten for two days." Leng Hua had taken advantage of the time at hand and placed a pot of freshly cooked porridge on the table in the courtyard. Everyone else had retreated and only he had stayed behind to wait on her. 

"Eat some first!"

Xuanyuan Mo Ze scooped a bowl of porridge for her and said: "You have been unconscious for the past two days so you don't know the rumours that have been spreading on the outside. Pill Sun Sect has suffered a heavy loss after the chaos you have caused and I don't think it will regain its former glory any time soon."

Feng Jiu had a spoonful of porridge while she sat thinking, and asked curiously: "How did the great formation close? How did you know where it was? And the voice I heard later on, who was it speaking?"

"In the past, because of the frost poison in my body, I had been to Pill Sun Sect once, so naturally I know where their great formation is. Besides, the Huzhong Elder there knows me. If it weren't for the fact that the Huzhong Elder had helped me out in the past and I owe him a favour, I would have destroyed the people of Pill Sun Sect for hurting you so badly!"

When he spoke of this, the coldness in Xuanyuan Mo Ze came out once again. When he saw the wound on Feng Jiu's shoulder, he felt murderous in his heart. It was too easy to just hurt the Pill Sun Sect Sect Master with his palm.
