Chapter 571: Chapter 570: Jade Token

Yiyi pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision.

"Meng Chao, focus on recovering, don’t worry about anything else for now."

Meng Chao saw the expression on Yiyi’s face and was somewhat uncertain about her thoughts. However, at this moment, he truly didn’t have much energy to think about other things. It was a close call this time; escaping narrowly from death, being able to survive was already quite a fortune, and he soon fell back into a deep sleep.

When Hua Meixin arrived, she saw nothing but the empty medicine bowl and the still sleeping Meng Chao. She couldn’t help but ask with confusion, "Yiyi, did he drink the medicine? When did he wake up, and why is he asleep again?"

"He woke up briefly just now, and I had him take the medicine directly, but he quickly fell asleep after lying down."

Hua Meixin shrugged upon hearing this, saying, "Then the porridge I just brewed painstakingly will have to remain warm. However, given the severity of his injuries, it’s no wonder he’s so sleep-hungry. Yiyi, why don’t you take a rest later, I’ll watch over him."

Yiyi shook her head in response and said, "No need, I’ll keep watch. Senior sister, you should go and rest first."

Hua Meixin couldn’t help but glance at Yiyi upon hearing this and said, "Yiyi, you’re really dedicated and concerned about the patient, but you must also take care of yourself. So, you should take a break first. If you’re worried, you can come to check on him after a short nap."

After hearing Hua Meixin’s words, Yiyi didn’t insist. If she stayed, it might lead others to overthink.

"Senior sister, then it’s up to you, I’ll go close my eyes for a while."

Fortunately, they lived right here, so it was convenient.

After Yiyi went to rest, Hua Meixin sat aside and looked at Meng Chao. After a while she discovered Meng Chao was quite handsome, carrying an aura of one detached from worldly dust. Thinking about how he looked in his robe earlier, she couldn’t help but feel curious about who he really was.

When Meng Chao woke up again, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening, and Qian Yi and the others had returned.

Seeing Meng Chao awake, Qian Yi approached with a smile and asked, "How do you feel?"

Meng Chao looked around but didn’t see the Holy Daughter, therefore he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing Meng Chao like this, Hua Meixin couldn’t help but remark from the side, "Oh... why are you like this? We saved you, and you don’t even say thank you, but now we’re asking you something, and you remain silent. Your attitude isn’t right."

Hearing this, Meng Chao glanced at Hua Meixin before saying, "Thank you."

"Hey... don’t say thank you to me, it was our teacher who saved you, you should thank him instead." She said and pointed at Qian Yi.

Meng Chao heard this and said thank you again to Qian Yi.

Qian Yi smiled and said, "No worries, we acted while it was convenient. However, your injuries are severe, so the recovery might take a long time. By the way, how did you get injured and end up in Li Ao Village?"

Upon hearing Qian Yi’s words, Meng Chao only said, "I was chased by my enemies, hence the severe injuries, and escaped all the way here."

He did not say more, unable to lie easily nor concoct a story, but revealing the truth was impossible too, as the matter of the Divine Medicine Sect could not be disclosed.

Seeing Meng Chao unwilling to elaborate, Qian Yi didn’t press further, "Alright, stay here and focus on recovering."

The commotion was not small, so Yiyi also heard that Meng Chao had woken up and rushed over.

Upon seeing Yiyi, Meng Chao’s eyes brightened; she was the only person he knew here, so naturally, he felt closer to her.

Hua Meixin didn’t miss Meng Chao’s expression, and remarked, "Oh, it seems you still remember our junior sister Yiyi. However, you should indeed thank her properly; she spent the entire afternoon watching over you, fearing your injuries would flare up again."

Meng Chao solemnly thanked Yiyi, saying sincerely, "Really, thank you all so much."

Seeing Meng Chao like this, Hua Meixin didn’t mind his initial attitude and directly said, "Since you’re awake, I’ll go get you a bowl of porridge to fill your stomach." With that, she headed toward the kitchen.

When Hua Meixin brought the porridge over, Meng Chao drank it straight away.

Seeing Meng Chao’s consciousness clear and him sitting up to drink porridge, drinking quite a bit, Qian Yi motioned with his hand saying, "Have another bowl of medicine later and just rest well." Then he instructed Yiyi a few more words and returned to his room.

Seeing this, Yiyi looked at Hua Meixin and said, "Senior sister, you should return to rest too, I’ve already slept, and I’m feeling quite alert now."

Hua Meixin readily agreed.

"Alright, keep an eye on him, and I’ll come over around midnight."

Upon hearing this, Yiyi quickly said, "No need, senior sister, I’ll watch over him."

Hua Meixin said nothing more, but had already decided in her heart to come over around midnight to replace Yiyi.

Once Hua Meixin left, Meng Chao quickly looked at Yiyi and said, "Holy Daughter, I’m recovering well here, you don’t need to worry about me. If you can return earlier, then you should return earlier."

He was quite uneasy with the Holy Daughter being here, especially as this place was too close to the Divine Medicine Sect.

Yiyi’s gaze was firm as she replied, "Meng Chao, I have decided to visit the Divine Medicine Sect, so tell me the way when the time comes."

"What..."

Upon hearing this, Meng Chao quickly said, "No, Holy Daughter, you mustn’t go back. At present, the entire Divine Medicine Sect is under the control of Peak Master Su, going there would be walking into the lion’s den."

However, by the end, he was somewhat puzzled.

"But the people in the sect seem unaware that the Holy Daughter has been found, Elder Qiu appears to have kept this a secret."

Yiyi understood the key point.

"Perhaps Elder Qiu discovered something amiss as soon as he returned to the Divine Medicine Sect, hence he didn’t reveal my existence. In that case, it’s better that nobody knows about me."

Nevertheless, Meng Chao continued to advise, "Holy Daughter, you should avoid getting involved in this mess; Peak Master Su already has a high standing and now has control over the entire sect. Some disciples even acknowledge him internally, so overturning the situation won’t be easy."

Especially since the Holy Daughter was only recently found, without any supporters within the sect, he worried that if Yiyi returned, it might bring trouble upon herself.

But Yiyi had already decided, even if she couldn’t lend significant help, visiting was worthwhile, and at the very least, she could contribute her modest strength.

Seeing Yiyi’s firm expression, Meng Chao became more respectful. Although the Holy Daughter hadn’t returned to the Divine Medicine Sect yet, she was already so concerned for them.

Thinking of this, Meng Chao directly pulled off a Jade Token from his neck, "Holy Daughter, this was left by Lin Jing brother for you. He said that with this Jade Token, you can command the disciples of the Hidden Branch."
