Xiao Yefeng could only gently pat Liu Yiyi's back with his left hand, whispering, "It's okay, it's okay!"
Eventually, after shedding a considerable amount of tears, Liu Yiyi realized that her current actions were inappropriate. Blushing, she sat at the edge of the bed and tidied up her clothes to stabilize her emotions. Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng glanced at the bandage on his chest, now thoroughly soaked with Liu Yiyi's tears, leaving him feeling a bit bewildered.
A long silence hung between them. Perhaps due to the recent events, Liu Yiyi felt shy, while Xiao Yefeng was unsure how to start a conversation. Finally, he broke the silence, asking, "Yiyi, why aren't you resting at this late hour?"
Liu Yiyi smiled slightly before replying, "Oh, it's nothing! Mei Mo'er isn't at Golden House Courtyard today; she went home! I was feeling a bit bored by myself and wanted to chat with you. But when I called, you weren't home. Then I remembered yesterday..." Under Xiao Yefeng's puzzled gaze, Liu Yiyi hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I thought I'd check on you since you weren't home so late! But what happened to you?"
The topic shifted back to Xiao Yefeng. He considered that Liu Yiyi was not a stranger and that the Evil Qi within her had already been awakened; sooner or later, she would be part of the Extraordinary Person circle. Thus, he decided to share most of what had happened with her after concealing some details. He explained that a group wanted to steal a national treasure and that he had been tasked with retrieving it, during which he got injured.
Coincidentally, Liu Yiyi had arrived just in time. Xiao Yefeng followed her car back to Golden House Courtyard. He disliked the atmosphere of hospitals; the chilling Yin Qi made him detest being there as a Geomancer. Perhaps it was the aura of death that he found so unsettling—he didn't like death, whether it affected others or himself.
"Feng, maybe you should stay here! It's too dangerous for you to go out alone right now!" Jiang Xing said with concern as he saw Xiao Yefeng off. Although there was worry regarding the Divination Compass involved, Jiang Xing genuinely cared for Xiao Yefeng, which was clear to him.
"President, don't worry! I still have a great vendetta to settle! How could I die so easily?" Xiao Yefeng replied as he got into Liu Yiyi's car.
At that moment, outside the hospital entrance, Jiang Xing nodded in the direction where Xiao Yefeng had left and remarked, "He really resembles your father! Even his stubbornness is similar. With such extraordinary talent and intentions alike, he has chosen the path of his true self; I hope he doesn't repeat past mistakes."
"President! Should we send someone to protect him? Young Master Jie has already set his sights on Feng, and now Perfect World is also targeting him because of Lu Zhan's involvement," Li Xiangjun said with a frown beside Jiang Xing.
"Hmph! I've sensed that Lu Zhan's actions have been excessive for some time now. But I never expected him to be one of Perfect World's Young Masters. With such status, it's no wonder he would betray his father's honor while still bearing the legacy of his ancestors—why is there such a vast difference?" Jiang Xing lamented.
"Why?" Li Xiangjun asked.
"No need! The members of the Xiao Family all possess their unique abilities. Just like Feng—he still has many unfulfilled wishes. His fate has been completely obscured; he is destined to be an individual who faces calamity—a guide for both old and new eras!" Jiang Xing stated.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangjun was taken aback and questioned in confusion, "President, is Feng really destined for calamity? But he..." She recalled the words left by past Presidents of the Metaphysics Society and suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Xing patted his old companion beside him and said, "Let's go! The wind is growing. I believe our era will not repeat the tragedies of the past. The Earth will move towards the future, not linger in the past!"
Upon returning to the Golden House Courtyard, Xiao Yefeng received unprecedented care. Truly, this injury was not the most severe he had ever sustained, nor was it the deadliest, but it was the first time Xiao Yefeng experienced such meticulous attention. Back at the Golden House Courtyard, Liu Yiyi even helped him take off his clothes. Having a beautiful woman assist him in undressing made Xiao Yefeng feel a flicker of delight within, even stirring feelings he couldn't quite place.
When it came time to remove his pants, Liu Yiyi appeared quite shy. Fortunately, Xiao Yefeng did not take advantage of her. With Liu Yiyi's support, he lay down on the bed while she helped him drink water and distribute his medication. After attending to him with almost obsessive care, Liu Yiyi finally finished her tasks and returned to her room to rest. Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng got up from the bed.
He flipped his left hand and directed Qi to his right neck and shoulder, applying Intercepting Finger at several major acupoints to seal off blood flow and pain. Then, he carefully tore off Liu Yiyi's meticulously wrapped bandage, and blood immediately flowed down. Luckily, Xiao Yefeng was sitting in a bathtub, so the blood wouldn't spill everywhere.
Next, Xiao Yefeng took out a portion of Elixir Residue from his Tricolor Jade Ring. As he sprinkled it on the wound, it instantly stopped the bleeding, and the healing process began rapidly. Such a large wound would typically take an ordinary Geomancer at least ten days to heal to this extent; however, after just ten minutes under the effect of Elixir Residue, scabbing had already begun. His right shoulder regained some mobility.
If all went well, he would fully recover within three days. Moreover, the Qi from Elixir Residue not only healed Xiao Yefeng's wounds but also enhanced his strength. After absorbing this Elixir Residue, Xiao Yefeng's spiritual power advanced further. He extended his left hand as the Golden Cyan Carefree Righteousness swirled continuously in his palm, revealing strands of unique spiritual energy within.
The Punishment Power transformed into an Arc within Xiao Yefeng's Spirit Platform intertwined with his spiritual energy, giving his attacks a hint of electric power. Now, after experiencing a life-and-death transformation and absorbing Elixir Residue's energy, Xiao Yefeng's Carefree Righteousness finally underwent a change; within the Golden Cyan Qi swirled strands of gentle wind.
Although still quite immature, it was undeniable that Xiao Yefeng's Qi had finally birthed its own attribute: an omnipresent wind. The five elemental attributes—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—were the most common attributes for Geomancers in the True Spirit Realm. However, tonight’s encounter with Zhu Feng’s Spirit Summoning Talisman brought forth an elder whose attack carried a frost-like chill—this was a variant attribute of water: frost. It had slightly less offensive capability than ice but offered greater versatility.
Jiang Xing's Purple Lightning belonged to wood's variation; similarly, Xiao Yefeng's wind attribute was also a variation of wood. However, Xiao Yefeng still had much to learn about his own attribute. In terms of ranking, wind was one level lower than Jiang Xing's Purple Lightning since Purple Lightning's offensive and defensive powers were beyond what wind could compare to.
With a sigh, Xiao Yefeng retracted the Qi that had been wandering through his limbs and turned on the faucet to wash away all traces of blood. Stepping out of the bathroom, he was surprised to find Qing sitting at his bedside in a purple fairy dress with a green jade hairpin while carefully reading a magazine.
Seeing Qing there startled Xiao Yefeng because just moments ago he had enhanced his spiritual power enough to sense everything within a hundred feet around him. Yet Qing had entered his room so easily without him noticing for so long. Although he had acknowledged her strength significantly, he still felt he had underestimated this woman.
"Are you done washing?" Qing asked as she looked at Xiao Yefeng who was only wearing a pair of beach shorts with wet hair.
"When did you enter my room?" Xiao Yefeng asked. He knew there was a significant gap in their abilities but still wanted to understand just how vast that difference was.
Qing pouted and thought for a moment before saying, "It must have been when that girl with the Evil Qi was tenderly changing your bandages! Seeing how devoted she was to you, I couldn't possibly interrupt you two!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yefeng couldn't help but grin. It turned out that Qing had arrived here much earlier than he thought; he had assumed it was during his own absorption of spiritual energy for advancement. Once again, Xiao Yefeng looked at this woman.
As he observed Qing, Xiao Yefeng was about to think of something when Qing took the initiative to speak up, "Are you challenging the Dao because of that girl?"
It was strange that Qing didn't immediately ask for the Divination Compass. However, since Qing already knew everything, Xiao Yefeng didn't hide anything and replied directly, "That's right. Even if it means death, I will reverse her fate in a few months. Are you planning to stop me in the Unknown Land?"
Hearing Xiao Yefeng's sharp words, Qing shook her head and said, "Do you know? If you had said that a hundred years ago and it reached our ears, even if you were an ancient being at the first realm, you wouldn't have escaped the pursuit of the Guardians! But nowadays, who would specifically seek trouble with you? Think about your father; has anyone from our realm ever obstructed him when he altered fate?"
Qing's words surprised Xiao Yefeng. This group, which took it upon themselves to protect the Dao, actually turned a blind eye to such acts of reversal? Xiao Yefeng found it hard to believe. At this moment, Qing continued, "Don't doubt it. The era of cultivation has already declined; as long as you can bear the cost, no one will care about you!"
"Cost?" Xiao Yefeng asked in confusion.
"You don't know?" Qing looked at Xiao Yefeng with surprise. From the look of bewilderment on his face, she clearly realized that he had no idea what the cost entailed. So she shook her head and said, "Forget it; I'll tell you this time because of your contributions! The most dangerous aspect of altering someone's fate is the backlash from the Dao. The Dao is essentially a backlash of Qi. Fortunately, Qi has recently dissipated to an imperceptible level. Here's a suggestion: find a place where not a trace of Qi exists; altering fate there will significantly reduce the backlash from Qi!"
"Then if that's the case, the Qi I consume won't be replenished. If I can't sustain it until the alteration is complete and disperse all the Evil Qi, both Yiyi and I will be directly killed by the rebounding Qi, right?" Xiao Yefeng said.
Qing nodded slightly. "Basically, that's how it is. When you've made your decision and are ready to act, let me know; perhaps I can help you! But you've already gained quite an advantage! After all, there won't be any interference from us Guardians during your fate alteration."
