Chapter32:WangQuanDe’sthoughts
TheexpressionsofSuWanErandSuJingTingbecamegrimastheyrushedtoOldMasterSuYunTian’sside.
“Father,youareinjured?”
SuJingTing’sfacegrewsolemnandveryworried.Sinceyoung,hehadviewedSuYunTianashisbiologicalfather.Everythinghehasnowwasallgiventohimbytheoldmaninfrontofhim.
“NodoubtthatWangQuanDeisfromSacredMountain.Heisverystrong.Donotworry,Iamfine.”SuYunTianshookhisheadandlookedatSuJingTing.Hesaid,“Standguardoverforamoment.IwanttohelpSuYirecover.Iamafraidthatthoseso-called“outstanding”doctorsinthecitywouldbeunabletohelpmuch.”
“But,Father,youarealreadyinjured.IfyoustilluseyourYuanQitohelpSuYirecover,Iamafraidthatyourinjurieswillworsen.Furthermore,youarepreparingtomakeaBreakthrough.IfyouhelpSuYinow,theconsequencewouldbedire.Ithinkyoushouldletmedoitinstead!”
SuJingTingknewthathisfatherwasinjuredquiteheavily.IfheusedhisownYuanQitohelpSuYirecover,itwoulddefinitelyaggravatetheinjuries.
Hisfather’scultivationhadnotprogressedforaverylongtime.Ifhegetsinjuredanymore,theeffectswillbedisastrous.Hemayneverbeabletobreakthroughtothenextrealm.
“Youarealsoinjured,furthermore,Iamafraidthatyourcultivationisstillnotenough.Justprotectme.WanEr,youshouldleavetoo.”SuYunTianhadalreadydecided.Nothingwasmoreimportantthanhisgrandson.
SuJingTingunderstoodhisfather’spersonality.Althoughhewasunwillinginhisheart,hisfacewassolemn.Hedidn’tpersistanymore.

WhenSuJingTingandSuWanErleft,theOldMastersupportedSuYiintosittingwhilecrossinghislegs.AfterputtinganelixirintoSuYi’smouth,healsosatwithhislegscrossedbehindSuYi.
Whoosh.
Thehandsealwascompleted.SuYunTian’srobeflutteredasYuanQigushedout.ThenheplacedhispalmlightlyonSuYi’sacupointsonhisbackandchanneledYuanQiin.
“Eh?”
Heexclaimed.WhenYuanQiwaschanneledintoSuYi’sbody,hefinallyunderstoodwhatwassospecialaboutSuYi.
Hehaddoneacheck-uponSuYibefore.Thoughtherewerenosignificantproblems,stillhecouldnotstoreanyYuanQi.
ButnowtheOldMasterSuYunTiancouldclearlyfeelhowstrongSuYi’sphysicalbodywas.Histendons,bones,musclesandevenskinhadahugedifferencewhencomparedtoanormalperson.Hissmooth,jade-likeskinwasactuallystrongbeyondcomparison.Justlikeamightybeast.

ThisimpliesthatthecirculationandgatheringofYuanQiinhisbodyweremanytimesstrongerthanacultivatorwiththesamecultivationlevelashim.Naturally,theoffensivepowerwouldalsobefarstronger.ThisshouldbeoneofthemainreasonswhyhecouldfightevenlywithJiChao.
Andnow,theOldMasterSuYunTiancouldroughlyconfirmthatSuYimusthaveexperiencedsomethingintheForestofDemonsduringthepastthreeyears.
Incomatosecondition,SuYifeltasifhisentirebodywasbeingenvelopedbywarmcurrents.Hecouldfeelindescribablecomfort.

“Granduncle,ifwebringthatbratbacktoSacredMountain,wouldn’titbeevenmoretroublesomethen?”JiChaowasconfused.Hedidnotunderstandwhathisgrandunclewasplanning.
