"Let's go. The White Leader and the others are all waiting for us outside the door." Wei Zhao rose to his feet as he spoke, yet he still held Han Jingyi in his arms without setting her down.
"With Jingjing all like this, shouldn't I take a bath?" Han Jingyi had noticed she was still covered in blood and grime—she felt downright filthy.
"No need. We'll deal with it when we get back." Wei Zhao reached out and opened the door.
"Wei Zhao, is it done?" The White Leader stared in shock at Han Jingyi, whose face and hands were completely unmarked. How had Wei Zhao managed it? He had seen the injuries himself—not even some Dr. Guan or Divine Physician Kang's wound medicine would have done any good, surely? And yet Wei Zhao had healed her with nothing but silver needles? How was that possible?
Moreover, though he did not know how severe Han Jingyi's internal injuries had been, they were certainly no light matter. Yet now, apart from the blood and grime that made for a frightening sight, she was radiant with energy, not in the least like an injured person. What on earth was going on?
"It's done. Jingjing's injuries are all healed." Wei Zhao did not explain much, only said, "I'll take Jingjing home first. Teacher Bai, shall we talk later? I'll come find you at the school?"
"That works!" The White Leader was deeply puzzled, but he was not a man of many words. Since Wei Zhao was not saying more now, he could hardly press him, and he also knew Wei Zhao's medical skill was formidable—far greater than his own, at least. So the White Leader merely nodded and said, "Then I'll head back to the school first. Call me anytime if anything comes up!"
"All right," Wei Zhao said.
After taking leave of the White Leader, Wei Zhao rode in Sun Jingyan's car with Wang Xinyan back to the villa in the Xueshang Residential District. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had already returned from school—they had come back together with Han Xiaochao. Earlier they had received Wang Xinyan's call saying there was some trouble on Han Jingyi's end and that Wei Zhao was with them, and Gu Mengyao had not thought much of it.
But when she saw Wei Zhao carry the blood-soaked Han Jingyi into the villa, she was struck dumb with shock!
"Wei Zhao, what... what happened to Jingjing?" Gu Mengyao looked at Han Jingyi, drenched in blood and as pitiful a sight as could be, and was badly frightened. "What happened?"
"Yao Yao, Jingjing's fine!" Han Jingyi hopped down from Wei Zhao's arms and said with a grin, "Goodness, Jingjing's absolutely filthy. Jingjing will go take a bath first. Xiaoshu, could you run to my place and fetch me a few clothes?"
"Okay!" Shen Yushu gave Han Jingyi a somewhat puzzled look, then glanced at Wei Zhao, nodded, and went out of the villa—though as she walked she called back, "Arrow-Brand Brother, wait for Xiaoshu, okay? When Xiaoshu gets back, you have to tell the story!"
"Silly Xiaoshu, what story? Wei Zhao and Jingjing were probably in danger, and by the time it reaches you it's turned into a story?" Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu, then said to Wei Zhao, "Don't pay her any mind!"
"Since Arrow-Brand Brother and Jingjing are both fine, then it must all be safely over, right?" Shen Yushu shrugged and said carelessly.
"It really is over. It's all in the past." Wei Zhao nodded. Xiaoshu was clever, in her way—she did not waste worry on things already done.
Very soon Shen Yushu was back; she had evidently run the whole way. By the time she returned to the living room, Han Jingyi had still not come out of the bath. Wei Zhao sat down and briefly recounted to them what had happened. Only where Han Jingyi was concerned, Wei Zhao himself was not yet clear on things: how had the other side known he possessed Zhang Lifeng's alchemist's notes? And how had they known that he and Han Jingyi could work together to refine pills?
