Sima Ye gave out a smile and said, "Brother Lee, I know you are concerned with Zhu Di's injuries, but maybe my buddy here might not be satisfied enough to let you leave."

Senior martial brother Lee stopped and glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi.

He let go of his hands, making Zhu Di drop to the ground, and reached into his sleeve.

When his hand was out of his sleeve, it was holding onto a pill bottle.

"These are some Restoration Pills from my master. They should help in recovery for those injured." He said and passed the pill bottle over to Sima Ye.

Sima Ye took the bottle, and he glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi thought for a moment.

Sima Ye had his intentions for stopping Zhu Di from leaving.

It was a signal from Sima Ye for him to stop pursuing the matter for now.

Best for him to take whatever senior martial brother Lee had offered and make peace with it.

He glanced at Liu Shi Shi, Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Zhi Yong.

Even though he still had rage within his heart, he nodded his head at Sima Ye.

Lin Xuan Qi stared at Zhu Di as he was helped to his feet by his senior martial brother Lee.

One day when he gets powerful enough, he will make sure that Zhu Di pays for what he did, Lin Xuan Qi promised himself silently.

Sima Ye nodded and was impressed with Lin Xuan Qi's ability to play the long game and not lash out like a young master.

"Here, take this, time is precious. Let them take one pill each." He handed the bottle of pills over to Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi took the pill bottle and quickly got to work.

He held onto Liu Shi Shi who was now drifting in and out of her consciousness.

"Father... Mother..."

She was mumbling about her parents in her state.

Lin Xuan Qi opened the stopper of the pill bottle.

Immediately, a pleasant and aromatic smell came out from the pill bottle and filled the air.

He poured out one pill from the pill bottle onto his palm.

The pill was red, smooth, and gave out a sense of vitality.

It was the first time he had seen a pill from a cultivator.

He was intrigued but it was not the right time to find out more about it.

Helping Liu Shi Shi open her mouth, Lin Xuan Qi dropped the pill into her mouth and helped her to swallow it.

In an instant, he could feel the temperature of Liu Shi Shi rising.

Her coughs stopped and her pupils darted from left to right rapidly.

Then after a few moments, Liu Shi Shi opened her eyes.

She was surprised to see Lin Xuan Qi holding onto her.

"Master Lin..." She wanted to speak but Lin Xuan Qi held his finger at her lips, gesturing for her not to talk.

"Do you feel better now? Can you sit up on your own?" Lin Xuan Qi asked.

Liu Shi Shi felt for a moment and the pain from the internal injury inflicted by Zhu Di was gone now.

She nodded her head at Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi gave out a long sigh of relief, and he proceeded to get into the main hall.

He felt pain in his heart when he saw Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin injured.

"We are fine, Master Lin. Zhi Yong, Zhi Yong needs help first!" They said anxiously to him.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Zhi Yong and saw that Zhi Yong was covered in blood and wounds.

Many deep cuts could be seen on Zhi Yong's body.

He quickly poured out another pill from the pill bottle and gave it to Zhi Yong.

All of them waited anxiously for the pill to work its magic.

Lin Xuan Qi held onto Zhi Yong and could feel the same thing happening to him.

Higher temperature could be felt as the effects of the pill coursed through Zhi Yong's body.

Miraculously, he could see that the wounds on Zhi Yong's body were closing up.

The flesh at the wounds twitched as it grew back.

And when the wounds were closed, the bleeding stopped for Zhi Yong.

Zhi Yong's head swayed from left to right.

"Zhi Yong..." Lin Xuan Qi called out his name, trying to wake him up.

It worked as Zhi Yong opened his eyes after a few moments.

He gave out another long sigh of relief when he saw Zhi Yong opening his eyes.

"Me, dreaming?" Zhi Yong was confused as he felt as good as new and the pain was gone.

His doubts were cleared when he tried to move his hand from the ground, and it touched the cold blood that had pooled on the ground where he was lying.

"Why, Master Lin?" He asked Lin Xuan Qi, feeling perturbed.

Lin Xuan Qi gave him a smile and said, "Don't worry, take a rest first."

He went on and glanced at Xue Cong.

"Here, take one." Taking out another pill from the pill bottle, he handed it over to Xue Cong.

Xue Cong hesitated for a moment.

Lin Xuan Qi frowned and said, "Don't give me excuses saying it would be a waste on you, and you are feeling fine."

Xue Cong was surprised that he knew exactly what she wanted to say.

He shook his head, grabbed her hand, and pulled her towards him.

"Take it. It's punishment for putting Yue Jie and Yue Xin at risk.

"I've told you to take care of them and run when there is danger."

Xue Cong looked down and was sorry.

Lin Xuan Qi had always told her that.

"We are in it together..." Yue Jie interjected and said, with Yue Xin nodding her head vigorously.

"Same with you two." Lin Xuan Qi took out another two pills and passed them to Yue Jie and Yue Xin.

The three of them held the pills in their hands and put them into their mouths.

There was nothing else in their minds but that it was worth it for them to lay down their lives for Lin Xuan Qi.

Their wounds also recovered with the effects of the pills.

By now, the governor, magistrate and senior martial brother Lee had left.

Lee He Song and Sima Ye helped Liu Shi Shi into the main hall.

Lin Xuan Qi helped Zhi Yong back to his room while Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin helped Liu Shi Shi.

And when everything was settled, it was time to make a proper introduction.
