Chapter 1590 — Young Master Bing's Reaction
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Medicine King hurriedly moved to examine the leg wound on Zhao Qibing, but Zhao Qibing stopped him: "See to Uncle Zhu first. My leg is nothing serious — just a broken bone, with no damage to the meridians."
Now that Zhao Qibing had become a cultivator, he understood his own body far better and could properly assess his injuries. So his wound truly wasn't pressing — it was far more worthwhile to let Medicine King tend to Uncle Zhu first and win a loyal heart in the process.
Of course, Uncle Zhu was most likely ruined for good this time. What Zhao Qibing was actually buying was the loyalty of Clan Chief Zhu! If he wanted revenge, he could only rely on Clan Chief Zhu. His master, Elder Bi, couldn't easily wade into the worldly fray — so Clan Chief Zhu was his only option!
Though Clan Chief Zhu was a member of a hidden family, he had only just broken through to the Earth-tier and hadn't yet registered with the Hidden Family Arbitration Association. No one knew about it either — so having him strike was the best choice of all.
Medicine King took a look at Zhao Qibing's injuries and could see they weren't severe, so he nodded hastily and went to examine Uncle Zhu. As for when Wu Chengtian had made his move earlier — he hadn't dared to intervene at all. Though he possessed Mystic-tier strength, he had no combat ability whatsoever; it was far better to simply hide to the side.
Otherwise, if even he were injured, who would be left to heal anyone?
"Call Clan Chief Zhu right now! Uncle Zhu's been injured — he has to be notified!" Zhao Qibing said to Li Cihua.
"Yes!" Li Cihua nodded upon hearing Young Master Bing's words and hurried off to call Clan Chief Zhu for help.

By a dilapidated alleyway, an old man handed a small box to a young girl and said: "This is the medicine you're due to take this time. Swallow it quickly..."
The girl silently took the box and opened it. Inside sat a finely crafted medicine bottle. She uncorked it, swallowed the contents, and had just opened her mouth to speak when a phone began to ring.
The old man fished out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and said to the girl: "I have some urgent business to attend to. I'll be leaving first — make your own way back..."
With that, the old man hurried out of the alley and found a secluded spot to answer the call.

"Clan Chief Zhu, this is Li Cihua — do you still remember me?" Li Cihua said quickly once the call connected.
"I know you — you're the one beside Young Master Bing. What is it? Why are you calling me?" Clan Chief Zhu sounded anxious. He was now an Earth-tier expert, and to avoid drawing the attention of the Hidden Family Arbitration Association, he barely dared to have any contact with Zhao Qibing and the others, lest they be discovered!
So, a call from someone in Zhao Qibing's circle had to mean something of utmost urgency. He had been out scavenging with Chen Xi, but fearing she might notice something amiss, he quickly found an empty spot and took the call.
"Clan Chief Zhu, this is bad! Uncle Zhu was injured by someone — he's barely clinging to life. Medicine King is trying to think of a way to help, and Young Master Bing's legs have also been broken. However, Medicine King is attending to Uncle Zhu first and hasn't yet gone to look at Young Master Bing's injuries..." Although Li Cihua knew in his heart that Zhao Qibing's injuries were not serious, he deliberately said it this way to emphasize just how deeply Zhao Qibing cared for his subordinates.
Just as he expected, Clan Chief Zhu was furious at heart but deeply moved by Zhao Qibing's gesture: "Young Master Bing is a fine master. Cihua, wait for me — I'm coming over right away!"
"Alright, we'll be waiting for you!" Li Cihua said.
