Chapter 1016 - 1014: Save You?
Your heart is in the right place!
Lin Feng looked at Xia Lalan and smiled faintly, silently appraising her in his mind. He could tell that Xia Lalan genuinely cared for the children, but their injuries were really not a big deal. With him there, these children’s wounds were not an issue at all.
"You’re not acting right as a teacher. They’ve managed to hold on against the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger until I arrived. Could the children you take care of at home do that?" Looking at Xia Lalan, Lin Feng asked casually yet pointedly. Without facing trials and tribulations, these children would never be able to achieve greatness.
"..."
Xia Lalan was stunned by Lin Feng’s question. She had been so preoccupied with worry that she hadn’t considered this point at all. She thought to herself, indeed, these children were able to withstand the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger for a while. This was truly unexpected for her. If Xia Jianwu’s children from home encountered such a situation... She didn’t even dare to think about the outcome.
"In fact, they did a great job. Only after facing real danger can they grow," Lin Feng continued, looking at the children with a slight smile as he spoke again to Xia Lalan. He understood Xia Lalan’s mindset, but for the children’s sake, they needed these experiences. This incident was just an unfortunate accident.
"The injured ones aren’t you, you can say anything you want. Did you not see? They all have internal injuries, and severely so. If not treated properly, it could affect their future cultivation. And this is all because of you! If you hadn’t acted recklessly, how could these children possibly end up like this?"
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s subsequent remarks, Xia Lalan spoke again, visibly infuriated. She felt that Lin Feng’s words were insensitive. While facing danger to strengthen one’s will was good, these children were still too young. Confronting demon beasts like the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger was simply sending them to their deaths. Lin Feng’s casual remarks were madness! It was only because she had arrived in time; if she hadn’t, these children might have long since become corpses!
"Teacher Lanlan, we all volunteered!"
"Teacher Lanlan, please don’t speak ill of Teacher Lin!"
...
Seeing Xia Lalan and Lin Feng arguing, Xia Jianping and the others couldn’t hold back anymore and spoke up. Although they had faced extreme danger just now, the moments of life and death had brought them tremendous gains, which they could feel now. If not for Lin Feng, such gains would have been impossible! Hence, they could better understand everything Lin Feng said.
At this moment, they only felt gratitude in their hearts. Even if they could no longer cultivate in the future, they wouldn’t blame Lin Feng. It wasn’t a matter of Lin Feng teaching them wrongly, but that they were too weak to keep up with Lin Feng’s pace. They truly did not want Xia Lalan to blame Lin Feng for this incident.
"You all..." Xia Lalan had never expected the children to speak to her in this manner. She was momentarily lost for words, wondering just what had happened to these children. She cared for their wellbeing, yet they stood by Lin Feng instead. What was going on here...
"What’s with these minor injuries? Just watch!" Lin Feng, hearing the children’s words, shook his head at Xia Lalan and spoke nonchalantly. These injuries were simply too trivial to him, as effortless as picking something up. They were nowhere near as serious as Xia Lalan had claimed.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xia Lalan became even more infuriated, opening her mouth to continue scolding him. But before she could utter a word, she was dumbfounded by what Lin Feng proceeded to do...
Under Xia Lalan’s gaze, Lin Feng suddenly made his move. A few streaks of silver light flew toward Xia Jianping’s wounds, and then, miraculously, the bleeding stopped instantly. This left Xia Lalan in shock, her mind going blank at the sight of the instant hemostasis. How could this be possible!
If one were to ask honestly, even the Xia Family’s physicians couldn’t achieve such a feat. Acupuncture could indeed stop bleeding, but it required a process. There was nothing like Lin Feng’s immediate cessation of blood flow. It was truly miraculous, beyond what words could describe!
At that moment, she was thoroughly astounded, yet she had no idea that this was merely the beginning.
After stopping the bleeding, Lin Feng waved his hand and several silver needles were inserted around the wound. He then took out a small bottle from which he sprinkled some medicinal powder over the wound. At the same time, he tossed an unknown elixir into Xia Jianping’s mouth.
Next, Lin Feng started to knead the wound as if sticking something together and in the blink of an eye, the previously gaping wound miraculously closed. If not for the traces of blood still visible on the outside, one might not have known the child had been injured at all!
Seeing this scene, Xia Lalan’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and her heart nearly stopped beating. Such a method of healing injuries was unheard of, not even in the Hidden World were there any physicians this miraculous. How did Lin Feng manage to do it? It was truly astonishing! A few silver needles, some powdered medicine, an unknown elixir, and the child’s wound just sealed itself as if glued back together with the utmost simplicity. It was utterly inconceivable...
How could this be possible?
Just... just sealed up like that?
...
Like Xia Lalan, the children were also stunned by Lin Feng’s medical skills. They had never imagined Lin Feng would handle Xia Jianping’s wounds in such a manner. This sight had shattered their understanding of medicine. They too turned into statues, unable to utter a single word.
Lin Feng saw the astonished expressions of Xia Lalan and the children but paid no attention to Xia Lalan. With a wave of his hand, he retracted the silver needles and then said to Xia Jianping, "Circulate your True Qi now, and wait a bit before moving."
After saying that, he went to check on another injured child, administered some powdered medicine and an elixir, gave the child a casual massage, and then moved on to another child. It should be known that the powdered medicine was specially formulated by him, and the elixirs were also concocted for these children. With him present, these children could sustain even the severest injuries without any issue.
In the blink of an eye, under the incredulous gazes of Xia Lalan and the children, Lin Feng had treated most of the injuries on these kids to the extent that they were no longer a major concern. Lin Feng then stood up, ready to lead the children away from this place.
"Lin Feng, even if your medical skills are formidable, don’t let these children get hurt so easily in the future, especially not to face the danger they encountered today!"
Seeing Lin Feng preparing to leave with the children, Xia Lalan couldn’t help speaking up again, her tone now somewhat softened, no longer in a fury. This entire incident was sparked by Lin Feng, and ultimately, it was his responsibility. She really did not want the children to face any threat to their lives again; she did not want them to come to any harm.
"Men getting hurt is no big deal, there’s no need to fuss over it." Lin Feng replied indifferently upon hearing Xia Lalan’s words. This was, in fact, his true belief; it was normal for men to get injured, as without injuries, how could they improve?
"That’s easy for you to say. Why don’t you get hurt? They are still just children; they are growing!" Xia Lalan’s anger was reignited by Lin Feng’s words. Bursting out at Lin Feng once again, she thought he was being far too flippant. For the sake of the children, she had to stop Lin Feng from being reckless!
"I have sustained injuries a hundred times more severe than this." Lin Feng shook his head and responded casually to Xia Lalan’s outburst. The injuries he suffered on the island were much more serious than those of the children; it was a miracle he had survived at all. The children’s injuries were incomparable to his own.
"Just you?" Xia Lalan looked at Lin Feng, questioning him. She truly did not believe Lin Feng’s claim. She scrutinized him up and down, noticing that Lin Feng’s body was spotless and showed no signs of any past injuries. She thought Lin Feng was boasting absurdly. If Lin Feng had really been injured so severely in the past, how could there not be a single trace left? It simply did not seem possible.
"Once you reach a certain level, such simple injuries naturally leave no scars." Lin Feng, understanding what Xia Lalan was getting at, replied lightly and then called for Xia Jianping and the other children to leave. There was no need to say more; enough had been said.
However, upon leaving, Lin Feng did not forget about the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger that had been killed. It was a rather formidable Demon Beast, and its carcass could be exchanged for medicinal ingredients suitable for elixir crafting and medication for the children; it would be a waste to leave it behind.
With a meaningful glance, Xia Jianping and the other children understood Lin Feng’s intention. They lifted the corpse of the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger together and followed Lin Feng out. Still, as they left, they couldn’t help but look back at Xia Lalan, not understanding why she seemed so stunned...
Lin Feng’s words reminded Xia Lalan of something her grandfather had once mentioned: indeed, injury scars could be healed, but only a person at the Human Immortal Realm could achieve such a feat. The Xia family’s ancient books had records of this.
Could it be that Lin Feng was a master of the Human Immortal Realm?
This thought sent a complete shock through her, startling her with her own idea. The patriarch of her family was only at the peak of the Divine Change Realm, and Lin Feng appeared to be merely in his early twenties. How could he possibly be a master of the Human Immortal Realm? That simply could not be true!
But for some reason, she had this feeling that Lin Feng was not joking, which left her unsure how to describe her feelings. Yet believing that Lin Feng was a master of the Human Immortal Realm was out of the question, not just for her disbelief but likely for anyone in the Hidden World as well!
As Xia Lalan pondered these things, a man’s voice echoed from a distance.
