What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian anxiously scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu couldn’t help but say, \"Master, if this continues, Fourth Brother will really die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian was panicked at this moment. \"Then what do you suggest we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu furrowed his brow, suddenly thought of something, and abruptly pulled out a dagger, cutting Zhou Qing’s thumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Mo Xingjian’s puzzled gaze, blood immediately flowed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was the normal kind of bleeding from a cut, not like now where the blood was spurting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even soon coagulated, no longer flowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu was full of excitement. \"I knew it! Looks like my guess was right. Master, look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian took a closer look and seemed to understand something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the dagger and cut each of Zhou Qing’s other fingers in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each bled but soon stopped on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, it seems the problem is with this index finger. It must be poisoned with something unknown to us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu said confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian agreed and examined it carefully once more; nothing seemed out of the ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean, we should cut off this finger?\" Mo Xingjian looked at Yan Xiaohu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu nodded repeatedly. \"That’s right. To be safe, cut it off from the base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if we do that, won’t Fourth Brother become disabled?\" Mo Xingjian hesitated as he handed the dagger back to Yan Xiaohu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu urgently said, \"Better a disabled person than a dead one. Losing a finger won’t affect his daily life drastically, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian pondered briefly, then nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s begin!\" Mo Xingjian stood up, making space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu froze, looking at the dagger in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, when did this end up with me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, how about you do it?\" Yan Xiaohu hurriedly presented the dagger with both hands. \"I’m squeamish about blood and too soft-hearted to make the cut.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian sighed, taking a step back. \"As his master, I’m like his father. Have you ever seen a father cut his son’s finger off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Master, if I do it, Fourth Brother will hate me for life,\" Yan Xiaohu’s voice trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian said, \"If not me, who? Besides, you’re the one who discovered the problem and suggested cutting the finger off. Hurry, or Fourth Brother might really die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Master, I’m feeling faint from the blood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Yan Xiaohu stumbled, barely catching himself on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dagger fell to the ground with a clink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, my hands are really weak now. You handle it. I’ll boil this basin of blood for when he wakes up to replenish his strength. Call me when you’re done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu hastily carried the blood-filled basin and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Yan Xiaohu flee, Mo Xingjian cursed under his breath, reluctantly picking up the dagger and approaching the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Qing’s weakening state, he knew he couldn’t delay any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed the problematic finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fourth Brother, forgive me. This is the only way to save you now. Remember, it was your third senior brother’s idea; I’m just the executioner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mo Xingjian took a deep breath, gritting his teeth to make the cut, he suddenly noticed the finger had stopped bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly examined it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, it really has stopped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good! Seems my authoritative aura scared it into stopping. Wise choice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian was elated, hurriedly bandaging the finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other four cut fingers, he decided to bandage them all as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he took out a vitalizing pill, gently opened Zhou Qing’s mouth, and placed it inside, finally breathing a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, are you done? Wow, you cut off the whole hand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yan Xiaohu sneaked back in, he was shocked to see Zhou Qing’s entire right hand bandaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Fourth Brother really is disabled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian rolled his eyes. \"Take good care of him. I’m going out to investigate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian spoke with a murderous aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see who was behind all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu’s face changed. \"Master, maybe I should take Junior Brother to your place. I’m worried someone might attack him again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian was speechless, lightly tapping his foot, disappearing instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, he won’t blame you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian’s voice echoed from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was sure Mo Xingjian was gone, Yan Xiaohu cursed at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing felt incredibly groggy, his eyelids heavy as lead. With great effort, he slowly opened a small slit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through blurry vision, he saw a familiar figure sitting by the bed, muttering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his daze, the voice seemed to be cursing, and very harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing tried to move, but his body felt weak and crushed by a giant stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He barely parted his lips, managing a faint whisper, \"Senior Brother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhou Qing’s voice, Yan Xiaohu immediately turned, joy in his eyes. \"Fourth Brother, you’re awake! You scared Third Senior Brother to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing wanted to smile to reassure his brother, but he couldn’t even manage that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said weakly, \"Senior Brother, I’m fine... Sorry to worry you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu’s expression suddenly turned unnatural, filled with guilt. He instinctively looked at Zhou Qing’s right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his evasive gaze, Zhou Qing’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong?\" Zhou Qing asked hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu stammered, standing up quickly. \"Fourth Brother, it’s not my fault. Master did it. The weapon is still here; I swear I didn’t participate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing blinked rapidly, even biting his tongue to stay awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-what did he cut?\" Zhou Qing had a bad feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu said nothing, his eyes fixed on Zhou Qing’s right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing bit his lip and lifted his hand slowly, seeing the large blood-stained bandage. He was momentarily dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu quickly said, \"Your finger wouldn’t stop bleeding. I suggested removing it. I didn’t expect Master to be so ruthless and cut off your whole hand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s pupils contracted sharply, his mind going blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the tightly wrapped hand, feeling the burning pain inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face showed shock and disbelief, breathing rapidly, and his lips trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled up in his eyes, and a heart-wrenching scream echoed through the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaaaah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-09T06:33:58.255Z",1,"novelbin.me","bc52a54f44384e4436c652d8b7149c5dee6fa7022f0e3013fa7feada6a4606d0","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-71","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-492",1176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-cover.jpg"]
