Chapter 436: The Vanished Charity Hall

~8 min read 1,575 words

After the physicians of Dan Sheng Hall took over the acupuncture, Hua Changxi became free.

"Manager Yun."

Hua Changxi found Yun You, who was checking each consultation shed.

Yun You was a bit surprised: "Peak Master Hua, is there something?"

Hua Changxi pointed to Yang Zhaoye, who was sitting cross-legged under the fire lotus: "Call that manager over. I want to talk to you about the overall situation of this batch of wounded."

Yun You didn't quite understand why Hua Changxi would notice Yang Zhaoye, but she still followed her and had someone call Yang Zhaoye over.

"Peak Master Hua." Yang Zhaoye was also a bit surprised by Hua Changxi's sudden summons.

Hua Changxi 'looked' at the Nascent Soul bound by Ghost Qi in his dantian, and her brows furrowed subconsciously: "The Southern Bright Li Fire in the fire lotus is of little use to your injuries, unless you can subdue the Southern Bright Li Fire and draw the Li Fire into your dantian."

Hearing this, Yun You's face changed, and Yang Zhaoye's heart jumped.

Yang Zhaoye looked at Hua Changxi, his eyes filled with vigilance and dread: "Peak Master Hua... knows my injury?"

He was indeed seriously injured, but he hadn't told anyone. After the people from Dan Sheng Hall arrived, he hadn't sought any physician for diagnosis either.

Hua Changxi glanced at him and then at Yun You, who was obviously very surprised, and said calmly: "Not to mention that healers all have the basic skills of looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse, don't you know that alien eyes exist in this world?"

As she spoke, Hua Changxi scanned Yang Zhaoye from head to toe again: "Did you think you were hiding it well?"

Yang Zhaoye opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.

Yun You knew Yang Zhaoye had been injured, but Yang Zhaoye acted like nothing happened on weekdays, so she thought his injuries had long since healed.

She didn't go to ask Yang Zhaoye why he had hidden his injuries at this time, but directly asked Hua Changxi: "Peak Master Hua, are Manager Yang's injuries serious? Please take care of it; you must cure him."

Hua Changxi didn't let Yun You divert her attention but continued to look at Yang Zhaoye: "Why hide the injury?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Afraid that others will snatch your position as manager?"

Listening to such a blunt question, Yang Zhaoye's face sank directly, and his gaze toward Hua Changxi was no longer gentle.

Yun You, however, had a great change in expression and stood out to protect Yang Zhaoye for the first time: "Peak Master Hua, you misunderstood; Manager Yang is not that kind of person." Then, she quickly changed the subject, "Are Manager Yang's injuries very serious?"

Hua Changxi didn't respond to Yun You but continued to look at Yang Zhaoye: "Manager Yang hasn't answered my question yet."

Yang Zhaoye was somewhat resistant to Hua Changxi's strength, his brows knotted: "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Peak Master Hua."

Hua Changxi's mouth curled: "It doesn't have anything to do with anything; I was just curious and wanted to ask."

Yun You spoke again: "Peak Master Hua, Manager Yang is the manager of the Discipline Hall of Lingguang Hall and has heavy responsibilities. He didn't disclose his injury for the sake of Lingguang Hall. As an outsider, please don't..."

"I just didn't want to lose the position of manager."

Yang Zhaoye suddenly interrupted Yun You's words. Under Yun You's surprised gaze, he said again: "I'm not that great. Hiding the injury wasn't for the sake of Lingguang Hall, but for my own sake."

Yun You opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Hua Changxi looked at Yang Zhaoye, her expression not changing much: "Aren't you afraid that if you can't control the injury, it will affect the operation of Lingguang Hall?"

Yang Zhaoye looked directly at Hua Changxi: "It won't. The Discipline Hall has ten deputy managers, and each one can replace me."

Hua Changxi raised her brows: "Ten deputy managers? You cultivated them?"

Yang Zhaoye didn't speak.

Hua Changxi looked at Yun You: "Do other departments have so many deputy managers?"

Yun You discovered at this time that Hua Changxi was too curious about the affairs of Lingguang Hall. Originally, she had already determined that she wouldn't be the Hall Master, but at this moment, she was wavering again.

"No."

Yun You found it inconvenient to say too much about the specific affairs of Lingguang Hall and only gave a vague answer.

Hua Changxi looked at the two and didn't continue this topic, but instead spoke about the injuries again.

"You must be mentally prepared. Clearing Ghost Qi is only the first step for this batch of wounded."

"The subsequent treatment of the foundation damage caused by Ghost Qi erosion is the top priority."

"For wounded whose Ghost Qi only eroded the physical body, treatment is still considered easy."

"As for that batch of wounded whose Ghost Qi has penetrated into the spiritual roots and eroded and damaged the spiritual roots, they can also be treated, but the spiritual medicine used for treatment is relatively precious and requires Lingguang Hall to pay some price."

Speaking of this, Hua Changxi looked at Yang Zhaoye again: "However, for wounded whose Ghost Qi has penetrated into the dantian... the only treatment method I can think of at present is to subdue the Southern Bright Li Fire and then draw the Li Fire into the dantian to burn away the Ghost Qi."

Yun You heard this and became anxious: "Is there only this method?" How could an ordinary cultivator subdue the Southern Bright Li Fire?

Hua Changxi nodded, looking at Yun You: "One person's plan is short. Go ask Pavilion Master Meng and the others; perhaps they have other methods."

Afterwards, Yun You and Yang Zhaoye left with worry.

Hua Changxi looked at the backs of the two, her thoughts having shifted away from the injuries of the Zhu Que Army, and she began to think about the role of the existence of the Ghost Fire Well.

The reason why King Shou could practice ghost clan cultivation techniques was mostly because of the Ghost Fire Well.

But the Ghost Fire Well is one of the twelve blessed lands in Nanxiang City. Its existence should have some positive effect on the Zhu Que Army, rather than being a threat to the existence of the Zhu Que Army.

So, what exactly is the role of the existence of the Ghost Fire Well?

Hua Changxi glanced at the busy physicians of Dan Sheng Hall, called Jia Lu over to give a few instructions, and then quietly left Lingguang Hall.

"No, I must report your situation to the Hall Master."

After Yang Zhaoye told Yun You his injury situation in detail, Yun You took out a Nian Tong without a word, preparing to report to Hua Changxi.

Looking at Yun You, who was sending the message, Yang Zhaoye didn't stop her: "It should be reported. The current me should not be governing the Discipline Hall anymore."

Yun You's expression paused, soothing: "This matter must be arranged by the Hall Master. You don't need to worry too much. What you need to do now is to find a way to treat your injury."

Yang Zhaoye didn't refute but asked: "You say, did Peak Master Hua... ask about Lingguang Hall's affairs so indiscreetly just because of curiosity? Is she... really not our Hall Master?"

Yun You shook her head, rubbing her forehead: "I can't say for sure. I feel she is, and she isn't." After a moment of silence, she continued to edit the information.

On the other side, Hua Changxi had just quietly arrived at the mass grave when she received Yun You's message—about Yang Zhaoye's injury situation.

"Let him arrange the affairs of the Discipline Hall well, and then rest assured to recuperate." She didn't remove Yang Zhaoye's manager position.

After replying, Hua Changxi began to patrol the mass grave.

In the hinterland of the mass grave, the 'Fire Axe' she condensed had undiminished power, showing that no outsiders had approached during this period.

Hua Changxi looked at the concealment array left by the royal family and stood still, lost in thought for a long time.

The injuries of the Zhu Que Army hadn't been solved yet, and Dan Sheng Hall was also in an unclear situation due to the 'Secret Realm Masters coming to power'. Now was not the time to explore the Ghost Fire Well.

After confirming that no one had stepped into the mass grave, Hua Changxi turned to return.

However, before stepping out of the mass grave boundary, she suddenly thought of the Charity Hall she had visited before and thought of the boy with the underworld eyes, Jingsheng, so she changed her route temporarily and made a trip to the Charity Hall.

Unfortunately, when she arrived at the Charity Hall, the once dilapidated Charity Hall had collapsed with a bang, leaving only broken walls and ruins revealing the outline of the wall foundation, proving that there had indeed been a Charity Hall here.

Inside the Charity Hall, weeds were overgrown, spiderwebs were everywhere, and there were no traces of any living people living there.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi's brows furrowed tightly. Where did the boy with the underworld eyes, Jingsheng, go? Dead? ===== CHAPTER 437 =====
