Chapter 345: Sending Blood Qi Pills to Lu Wei, Finding Out Bai Shen Is Incapacitated
Speaking of boosting blood and qi, Lin Meng recalled the blood qi pills she had brought back from thwarting a robbery—twenty-two in total, still not dealt with.
Ye Xiu doesn't need blood qi pills; just taking her aperture-penetrating pills is fine, so these blood qi pills can go to Lu Wei.
After thinking, Lin Meng pulled her aside and said:
"Lu Wei, help me with a favor, and I'll give you blood qi pills—how does that sound?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wei's eyes lit up instantly, and she beamed with joy.
"Just tell me, sis—I'll definitely help if I can!"
She had been worried about the blood qi pills being stolen, and this month's supply had fallen through—Lin Meng, her older sister, truly was her savior.
Lin Meng thought for a moment and said:
"I want you to help look after Ye Xiu a bit—this kid has suffered too much before; even when things get better, he only pushes himself harder and doesn't know how to enjoy life. I hope you can, at the right time, help take care of his daily life."
"You don't need to do anything special—just remind him regularly to eat on time, eat better, and not skimp."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wei felt her nose sour.
"Ye Xiu is so lucky to have a sister like you—failing that, couldn't you just be my real sister?"
"Lu Wei has always dreamed of having brothers and sisters; that Ye Xiu kid saved who knows how many people in his past life—this lifetime, could he possibly meet an older sister like Lin Meng?"
"Don't worry, sis—I'll take on this small task; I'll remind him to eat properly so you won't have to worry."
Lin Meng nodded, then took out three medicine bottles and handed them to Lu Wei.
"Take these blood qi pills; consider them my long-term payment to you."
Lu Wei accepted the bottles, opened them, and was shocked to see so many blood qi pills; she quickly screwed the lids back on, ready to return them.
"Too many, too many, sis—these blood qi pills could buy me several lifetimes; I can't take them. I just want one pill; you take the rest back for yourself."
Lin Meng didn't reach out to take them, shook her head, and said:
"I, as your older sister, don't eat these blood qi pills."
Lu Wei didn't think much further, guessing these low-grade blood qi pills weren't good enough for Lin Meng's taste—she had better ones to eat—and so she said:
"Then give them to Ye Xiu; these blood qi pills are enough to boost him a lot."
Lin Meng shook her head again.
"I've already given him his medicine; these are for you—don't refuse."
Lu Wei still didn't dare accept them—so many pills, if sold they'd fetch astronomical prices; who's this generous? She couldn't take such a huge windfall.
Seeing Lu Wei still unwilling to accept, Lin Meng had to change her approach.
"How about this: let's make a deal—these blood qi pills are my investment in you as a grant. You're a rare healer with S-rank talent; you deserve these. Got it?"
Lu Wei calmed down and understood what Older Sister Lin Meng meant.
"Her future is truly limitless; lately many major powers have approached her, wanting to recruit her, but she's declined them all."
"Unlike those people, she's not short-sighted or overly purpose-driven."
So Lu Wei was willing to accept Lin Meng's goodwill; after thinking, she stopped refusing and took all twenty-two blood qi pills.
She could keep ten pills from her sister; the remaining twelve she would give to Ye Xiu.
Seeing Lu Wei accept the pills, Lin Meng's face broke into a smile.
"That's right—you're an S-rank healer; you need some backing, and these few pills are nothing; you deserve them."
"By the way, do you know where Ye Xiu is now?"
Lu Wei shook her head, saying, "Ye Xiu trains extremely hard; his classmates can't keep up with his pace. Now Team Captain Wu has started giving him private lessons, training him alone—he only comes to the regular classes for credit courses."
Hearing this, Lin Meng raised her eyebrows slightly; it seemed Team Captain Wu Jiang valued Ye Xiu highly, perhaps partly out of respect for her.
No matter what, receiving personal guidance from Team Captain Wu Jiang is also a good thing for Ye Xiu.
At this moment, Lu Wei suddenly remembered something and said to Lin Meng:
"By the way, sis, these days when you're moving around campus, keep a low profile—the school administration seems tense lately, the whole school's alert level has been raised, as if guarding against external enemies."
"Moreover, a few days ago I saw that even some high-ranking officials from the Management Bureau General Bureau came to our school, acting all mysterious; we all guessed it might have something to do with Bai Shen."
Lin Meng froze upon hearing that.
"Bai Shen—hasn't he left yet?"
Lu Wei nodded and whispered:
"Bai Shen should have left our school long ago to give a lecture at another university, but he hasn't; word is he's injured, so the school and the General Bureau are on edge, fearing the news will leak and enemy forces will come to assassinate him."
As Lu Wei finished speaking, her expression turned grave.
She always felt the times were turbulent, as if something bad were about to happen.
After saying goodbye to Lu Wei, Lin Meng thought for a moment and then hurried straight to the villa where Bai Shen was staying.
The farther she went in that direction, the tighter the defenses became, with many experts lurking in the shadows.
Before Lin Meng even stepped onto the villa grounds, two people stopped her.
"No passage ahead—hasn't the school notified you?"
Lin Meng stood firm and produced a magnetic card.
This is a Night Watch magnetic card with the highest clearance—pitch black except for a gilded emblem in the upper right corner, very prestigious.
The moment the two saw the card, they both sucked in a breath of cold air.
They had never seen an ID card of this level before!
"Esteemed Night Watch, may I ask which branch you serve in?"
"Both of them are from the General Bureau, but they've never seen Lin Meng before, so they assumed she came from some branch."
Lin Meng merely replied blandly:
"I'm from the Gan Nan City Branch; I want to see Bai Shen—please have someone let him know that Lin Meng has arrived."
Upon hearing this, the two dared not delay and immediately reported upward.
In no time, they let Lin Meng go and accompanied her all the way until they reached the villa gate before daring to leave.
Many fully armed night watchmen stood around the villa; seeing a stranger being led in, they were all quite surprised.
At this critical juncture, besides a few high-ranking officials of the Management Bureau, only healers with outstanding ability could be invited in.
However, the White God's realm is too high; ordinary healers simply cannot treat his injuries.
Before Lin Meng even entered the villa, she already felt the oppressive, heavy atmosphere all around; it seems this White God truly is on the verge of collapse.
Just the last time I saw him, the old man didn't say he'd live much longer, but at least he could still hold on for a while; it shouldn't have deteriorated to this point after only a few days without seeing him.
Judging by this level of alertness, it feels like they'll be holding a funeral before long……
At that moment, a woman walked out of the villa; she was dignified and refined, and upon seeing Lin Meng she gave a gentle smile.
"Miss Lin, hello. I am Zhao Jing, Chief Healer of the General Bureau. Before I take you to see Elder Bai, please allow me to perform a purification on you."
