Chapter 868

In a daze, Bai Bai Shi Tong woke up and wanted to rub his eyes with his hands, but he found he couldn't move.

Opening his eyes wide, he discovered he was trussed up, while Su Chen was meditating to the side.

Seeing that Bai Bai Shi Tong had woken up, Su Chen quickly came to his senses and hurried over to untie him.

At this time, the sky outside the window was already beginning to brighten, and Bai Bai Shi Tong got up, preparing to put on his clothes.

He discovered that the blood vessels in his lungs had shrunk, and his breathing was much smoother than before.

His hands had also become warm!

Bai Bai Shi Tong tried moving his internal energy again, and his meridians were much clearer.

"Many thanks to Sir Su for your help. Thanks to your brilliant medical skills, I feel my body is much lighter."

"This is only the first treatment. You have dragged this cold poison on for too long; a root of illness left for decades cannot be eradicated in one or two sessions."

Since Bai Bai Shi Tong still needed to attend the morning court, he took his leave first.

Su Chen had also been busy all night, so he prepared to rest for a while.

In the Imperial City, inside the Qi-Refining Hall, all the officials were waiting for the Qi-Refining Emperor's morning court.

The Qi-Refining Emperor finally arrived; the ministers knelt down in haste, and then began to report on the affairs of the Qi-Refining Continent.

At this moment, the Minister of Works stood up.

"Your Majesty, the residence for Sir Su has been renovated by our Ministry of Works, and he can move in today."

If the Minister of Works hadn't mentioned it, the Qi-Refining Emperor would have almost forgotten.

"National Teacher, how is Sir Su Chen doing staying with you?"

Bai Bai Shi Tong walked out from among the ministers and came to the very center of the hall.

"Replying to Your Majesty, Sir Su is staying very well with this humble servant."

"Today, let Sir Su Chen move to his own residence! And reward him with one hundred maidservants."

After the morning court ended, Bai Bai Shi Tong returned to his residence, intending to notify Su Chen, but Su Chen was currently fast asleep.

Thinking that Su Chen had stayed up all night to treat his cold poison yesterday, he thought he would let Su Chen rest a while longer.

However, people from the Ministry of Rites were already waiting outside Bai Bai Shi Tong's residence.

"Sir Su, wake up quickly; your residence has been renovated, and you are to move in."

Only then did Su Chen wake up from his beautiful dream, with drool still on the corner of his mouth that he hadn't wiped away.

"I've only stayed for two or three days, and I have to move already?"

"Your residence has been renovated, and we have also assigned 100 servants to you."

Bai Bai Shi Tong still wanted to keep Su Chen to finish a meal together before leaving, but the Ministry of Rites brought the sedan chair straight inside.

With no other choice, Su Chen could only go with the Ministry of Rites to his new residence first.

Just before leaving, Su Chen stuffed a paper ball into Bai Bai Shi Tong's hand.

After Su Chen left, Bai Bai Shi Tong opened the note.

"Every night at the Hour of the Rat, find a way to enter my residence; the signal is a bird call."

Only then did Bai Bai Shi Tong set his mind at ease, so that he could continue his treatment.

Su Chen arrived at his residence, and just as he stepped off the sedan chair, he was shocked.

His residence was much more luxurious than Bai Bai Shi Tong's, with two stone lions at the entrance.

On the main gate, two large characters were written: Su Residence.

This formed a stark contrast with Bai Bai Shi Tong's.

Entering the residence, there were rooms of all sizes, too many to take in.

At this moment, the servants came over; Su Chen had people to take off his shoes and change his clothes as soon as he entered the house.

Even when going to the toilet, there were people to serve him; the rest was fine, but the toilet part was unnecessary.

Su Chen came to his guest room and collapsed onto the bed; because he was too tired, he fell straight asleep.

He didn't wake up until evening; when Su Chen woke up, he discovered he was covered with a quilt.

"That's strange, I clearly wasn't covered by a quilt when I went to sleep!"

When Su Chen opened the quilt, he discovered his pajamas had also been changed...

"What is this! They didn't even say anything when changing my clothes; I've been seen all over."

Just as he was getting angry, three bird calls sounded outside; Su Chen knew this was Bai Bai Shi Tong arriving.

Su Chen ordered all the servants to withdraw, then opened the window.

A blur of motion entered Su Chen's room, and Su Chen quickly closed the window again.

"Sir Su, I have arrived."

Bai Bai Shi Tong kept calling him "Sir," which made Su Chen feel very uncomfortable.

"National Teacher, in the future, you should just call me Su Chen; hearing you say 'Sir' every time makes me uncomfortable."

Seeing that Su Chen had spoken up, Bai Bai Shi Tong couldn't refuse, but the rules couldn't be broken; in front of others, he would still call him Sir, but in private, he would call him by his name.

Bai Bai Shi Tong placed his tools on the table, and Su Chen began the acupuncture session again.

It was the familiar condensed True Fire, and this time Bai Bai Shi Tong saw it clearly.

This made Bai Bai Shi Tong believe even more that Su Chen was no ordinary person.

But this also made Bai Bai Shi Tong even more fascinated by Su Chen's background.

The pain during this treatment was much better than the last time, and Bai Bai Shi Tong could feel the cold poison in his body retreating step by step.

His entire spirit had improved, but acupuncture alone was not enough.

Su Chen prescribed another dose of medicine for Bai Bai Shi Tong, telling him to take it on time every day.

"Su Chen, you helped me resolve the cold poison; how should I repay you? A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. If there is anything you need my help with, I would not hesitate even if it cost me this old life."

Everything was under control; Su Chen had been waiting for these words from Bai Bai Shi Tong.

"A mere trifle, not worth mentioning, but I do have one thing I would like you to help me with, National Teacher."
