Chapter 56: Visiting

~12 min read 2,260 words

After Li Yi handed over that sniper rifle, his treatment improved.

First, he was moved to a private ward, and someone sent his phone over, allowing him to contact others. Besides that, the medical treatment was also better, replacing some medicines with better therapeutic effects, adding a nursing staff, and even allowing relatives to visit.

Li Yi used one hand that could move slightly to open his phone, looked at the information, and found many missed calls, from friends and relatives.

There were also various messages in the family group, all discussing matters about him.

"I have asked someone to ask, Li Yi is fine now, receiving treatment in the hospital, but I don't know which hospital."

"It's good that he's fine. Li Yi's life was already not easy, and he encountered such a thing. Everyone should contribute money if they have money, and effort if they have effort. Help if you can."

"I'm already at his house, the situation at the scene is very bad, fortunately the medical pod is fine. Don't worry, I'm close to his house, I will take care of Li Yi's parents."

Li Yi's expression flickered. Seeing that his parents had relatives to help take care of them, he felt relieved.

Just as he was about to reply to the message to report safety, his phone, which had just been turned on, suddenly rang.

The caller was Lin Yue.

Li Yi didn't think much and answered immediately: "Hello, is it Lin Jie?"

"Finally got through to your phone. Li Yi, how is your situation now? Are you okay?" Lin Yue's tone was a bit anxious.

"I'm fine, I'm lying in the hospital receiving treatment now." Li Yi said.

Lin Yue said: "Which hospital? Uncle Biao and I will go visit you."

"I'll ask which hospital, wait a moment." Li Yi then put down the phone, asked the nursing staff, and soon got the answer.

"In the 101 room on the 10th floor of the inpatient department of the Third Hospital."

"Good, wait for me, I'll be there immediately." Lin Yue said and hung up the phone.

However, her decisive way of doing things was indeed consistent with her personality.

Li Yi suddenly noticed a message, which was a transfer message. A huge sum of eight million had been transferred. This money should be the bounty for killing that Wang Kui. He didn't expect Wang Jian's side to act so fast, the bounty was issued all at once.

However, this money didn't belong to Li Yi; it was promised to be given to Kong Sheng earlier.

Although Kong Sheng didn't exert much effort in this matter, his news was very timely and important. Without Kong Sheng's news, Li Yi wouldn't have survived this attack, so Li Yi had to send this money and the ten million he promised to him.

Thinking of this, he dialed Lu Jue's phone.

Because Lu Jue was a friend of Kong Sheng and they had a very good relationship.

"Li Yi? God, it's really you. How is your situation over there? I've already heard about it. You committed a major case, killed eight cultivators, and even that woman named Ning Wu almost died in your hands. Although I knew that night was very dangerous, I didn't expect it to be so thrilling." The shocked voice of Lu Jue came from the phone.

"I'm fine, nothing happened, just suffered some injuries and am lying in the hospital now. Thank you for this time, your timely tip-off allowed me to escape a disaster." Li Yi said gratefully.

"It's good that you're fine." Lu Jue replied: "I was just a coincidence. Thanks to Kong Sheng, if he hadn't asked me to remind you, I really wouldn't have known about this. By the way, how is Kong Sheng? He entered the Investigation Bureau and I haven't been able to contact him until now."

"Kong Sheng is fine, he will go back in a few days at most. By the way, I have a sum of money, you take it, and remember to help me give it to Kong Sheng later. He knows what this money is about." Li Yi said.

"Why not give it to him yourself after he comes back?" Lu Jue asked.

Li Yi said: "I have too many things to do, and I don't have Kong Sheng's contact information."

"Alright then, you transfer it to me first, and I'll give it to Kong Sheng after he comes back." Lu Jue said: "By the way, I have already given the one million from last time to the families of Brother Tao and Zhang Gao. They are very grateful to you and asked me to tell you. Sigh, it's really not easy for anyone these days, and you encountered such a thing again after only a few days."

Li Yi didn't speak, just transferred the twenty million over, and then said: "Lu Jue, Kong Sheng's side is eighteen million, and the remaining two million is yours. Thank you for your help this time, otherwise I wouldn't have survived."

"Giving me money?" Lu Jue was very surprised: "Li Yi, you don't have to do this, how can I take your money? And I didn't do anything. Wait a moment, I'll transfer it back to you."

"It's fine, you also need money for cultivation, and I got a bounty for Wang Kui here, so I'm not short of money for the time being. Speaking of which, this bounty also has a share of your credit. Alright, that's it for the matter, accept this money, and I'll treat you to a meal after this matter ends."

Li Yi said and hung up the phone directly without giving Lu Jue a chance to speak.

Lu Jue on the other end of the phone was silent for a while.

He looked out the window and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't misjudge Li Yi before. This person is clear about grievances and worth associating with. It's just that I didn't expect Li Yi's progress to be so terrifying. When I first met him, he was still a newcomer who had just stepped into cultivation, and now he is a figure."

"Sure enough, the rise of a genius is so rapid. I wonder if Zhao Xiaoxia and Wu Zhen will be scared to sleep at night after hearing Li Yi's news."

"Wait, I should have asked Li Yi which hospital he is in. I have to go visit him."

Lu Jue then woke up in surprise.

Li Yi, who had put down his phone, was still feeling heartache for the twenty million he had just spent.

It wasn't easy to make a trip to the danger zone and earn a little money, but it was all spent before it was even warm. It would be a lie to say he wasn't distressed.

But he understood very clearly in his heart that this money had to be spent, and he couldn't be stingy.

Thinking back to Lao Ya and Ning Wu's group, why did they lose so miserably now, even losing the mystic object that could have been in their hands? Wasn't it because they were too stingy at the critical moment? Relying on being cultivators, they were sure that Li Yi's group at that time wouldn't give money and wanted the things, and finally played it to pieces, walking to this point today.

So Li Yi would never make this mistake.

No longer thinking about the matter just now, he closed his eyes and rested quietly.

Although he suffered heavy injuries, Li Yi was a cultivator now, his body had evolved, so his body's self-healing speed was fast. As long as he ensured sufficient nutritional supply and ample time for recuperation, he estimated that he would be able to recover as before in about ten days.

"It's just a pity that I can't cultivate now, otherwise, with the cosmic energy in that incomplete mystic object, my body's recovery speed would be faster." Li Yi thought to himself.

Now that half-cut knife coin wasn't on him. He had taken the opportunity to hide the mystic object when he hid that sniper rifle earlier.

This decision was correct.

Otherwise, during this coma, the incomplete knife coin on his body would have fallen into the hands of the Investigation Bureau, and then things wouldn't be so simple.

Resting until the evening.

The nursing staff woke Li Yi and told him that someone had come to visit.

Not long after Li Yi woke up, Lin Yue and Uncle Biao walked into the ward carrying fruits and nutritional products.

"Very good, looking at your spirit, I know you're fine. You brat really scared me. How long have you been cultivating, and you'

Uncle Biao immediately walked over and looked Li Yi over, touching him here and there.

"Not bad, no missing limbs. It looks like just a fracture; this is a minor injury. Practitioners recover quickly, and in ten days or half a month, you'll be as good as new."

"Uncle Biao, where are you touching?" Li Yi said hurriedly.

"Haha, I wanted to confirm if those people used any underhanded tricks on you," Uncle Biao said with a smile.

At this moment, Li Yi noticed Lin Yue to the side, her arm wrapped in bandages, seemingly injured. He immediately asked: "Lin Jie, what happened to your arm?"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury," Lin Yue said. "Compared to your injuries, it's not worth mentioning. I'm relieved to see you're okay. You really are a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger, daring to fight even a practitioner in the Inspiration Realm. Fortunately, that Ning Wu had just broken through and hadn't adapted to the changes in her five senses; otherwise, you definitely would have fallen into her hands."

"You should have run away immediately after finishing off the others and stalled for time until the Investigation Bureau people arrived; there was no need to fight Ning Wu to the death."

Li Yi's expression darkened: "She wanted me dead, and I wanted her dead. I didn't think that much at the time. It's just a pity that even after fighting to the end, I couldn't finish her off. She'll likely try to take revenge later; it's a trouble."

"Although I've heard that Ning Wu has someone protecting her behind the scenes, it won't be that easy for her to get away after causing such a big incident. You should worry about yourself first. By the way, I brought you something this time." Suddenly, Lin Yue pulled out a box.

The box opened to reveal a piece of clothing inside. The texture of the garment was peculiar, as if made from the skin of some extraordinary creature, and under the light, a faint flow of luster could be seen moving across it.

"What is this?" Li Yi asked curiously.

Lin Yue sighed at this moment and said: "This is a garment made from the skin of a flood dragon. I got it from Yang Yi Long. That Yang Yi Long has truly changed; he refused to provide the Guidance Technique and refused to compensate you for the price difference, so in the end, he only gave me this garment to fob me off. But don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. I'll find a way to get the Guidance Technique from somewhere else; that thing isn't exclusive to his family."

Li Yi looked at the garment in the box and then at Lin Yue's injured arm, immediately understanding: "Did Yang Yi Long lay a hand on you, Lin Jie? Are you okay? Is the injury serious?"

"Just a minor friction, not worth mentioning." Lin Yue immediately laughed brightly, not taking it to heart.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think things would turn out like this."

Li Yi looked at Lin Yue's bandaged arm and showed his apology, but then his gaze became serious again: "But Lin Jie, don't worry, I've noted this debt down. In the future, I will definitely help you get it back."

"Li Yi, don't be impulsive. Don't go looking for trouble with Yang Yi Long. His strength is terrifying; if you clash with him, you'll definitely be the one to suffer in the end. Besides, this is a conflict between me and Yang Yi Long; it has nothing to do with you. Don't take everything upon yourself," Lin Yue said. "What you need to do now is to calm your heart and cultivate, practice your fist techniques, and don't be distracted by other things."

"Your potential has increased after mastering the fist technique; even if your cultivation value isn't high, you'll have great achievements in the future. There's no need to affect your future over a small matter."

"I, I understand. My strength is inferior to Yang Yi Long's, so naturally, I won't look for trouble with him. But the day the situation reverses, I will definitely help you teach him a lesson, Lin Jie."

Li Yi took a deep breath; he was not someone who couldn't distinguish the weight of matters, so he could only keep this matter in his heart.

Seeing this, Lin Yue smiled: "That's good. Then you must work hard; I'll wait for the day you surpass Yang Yi Long."

"I definitely will."

Li Yi said firmly, and then he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Lin Jie, let me ask you one thing. An investigator named Wang Jian invited me to become an external combatant for the Investigation Bureau. Do you think I should agree?"
