Chapter 920 - 918: Kaitai’s Inner Struggle
Fang Qiguai saw his brother injured and hurried over, helping him up. Then he pressed his pulse gate and began to input Powerful Qi to help heal his injuries.
At this moment, Lin Kaitai’s feelings were complicated. On one hand, he suspected his brother might want to kill him; on the other hand, he also suspected these two might be deceiving him. But their analysis made sense; wasn’t ancient Huaxia just like that? The elder brother becomes emperor, and the younger brother has two paths: flee to a remote place and become a prince or get killed.
So, Lin Kaitai didn’t know where to go.
"Lin, take the opportunity to knock this guy down!" Fang Qiguai suddenly remembered they still had a master on their side.
Lin Kaitai was first stunned, then considered it briefly before charging ahead.
Chen Tianlong was speechless; was this person a fool? So easily swayed by a few words? He really didn’t know how Lin Kaifeng had such a silly brother!
After muttering to himself, Chen Tianlong had no choice but to stop healing and rose directly.
At this moment, Lin Kaitai was dumbfounded seeing Chen Tianlong standing lively before him.
"You... weren’t you already injured? How come now..."
"Oh, just you few can hurt me?" Chen Tianlong smiled coldly, a hint of chill flashing across his face, frightening Lin Kaitai back two steps, not daring to approach.
"Lin, go on, don’t listen to his bluff. He’s definitely injured and just enduring it now; he was seen spitting blood just now." Fang Qiguai shouted.
"Damn it, who do you think you are, telling me to go, and I will? Idiot!" Lin Kaitai finally woke up, realizing he was used by them; these two were obviously targeting Chen Tianlong, pretending to be neutral.
"Lin...."
"No need to ask, definitely an inside line from North City, trying to sow discord." Chen Tianlong directly exposed them, fearing Lin Kaitai might be hoodwinked again later.
"I see, no wonder...."
Lin Kaitai glared fiercely at the Fang Brothers and shouted loudly, "Get out immediately, or I’ll make sure you can’t return to North City. Also, tell Fang Dali to stop daydreaming; the bond between us brothers is strong."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong frowned, realizing these two’s main purpose was not to deal with him; tonight was just an accident, and their real aim was East City’s lucrative prospects.
Spurred by the shout, Fang Qiguai hurriedly helped his brother Fang Hetong out of the bar. At this moment, Lin Kaitai also felt too embarrassed to stay any longer, turning and striding out.
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath; if Lin Kaitai believed them and decided to confront him, he really didn’t know how to handle it. If he didn’t act and injure him, he’d be tangled with them forever; injuring him would definitely be hard to explain to his brother.
The current outcome was clearly the best.
"Chen Tianlong, are you alright?" Wu Mengting saw the situation was over and hurried over. Just now, Chen Tianlong got injured protecting her, and she was very concerned, holding him tightly.
"Haha, I’m alright." Chen Tianlong smiled lightly at her, as it was indeed nothing; the injuries he suffered were slowly healing under the effect of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique’s third level.
"That’s good, then... let’s go back; it’s already quite late." Wu Mengting said.
Chen Tianlong nodded, and they walked hand in hand out of the bar. When they returned to the Lin Family Mansion, it was already half past one, but neither was sleepy. They cuddled together on the bed for a while, until after three before feeling a little drowsy.
Still, Wu Mengting let Chen Tianlong hold her to absorb the Powerful Qi from her body and the energy from the Jade Pendant...
The next morning, Chen Tianlong felt like he was on the brink of a breakthrough again, but just a little short. It seemed with Wu Mengting around, his upgrades were assured.
"Phew..."
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath and got up, but found Wu Mengting still asleep, so he gently patted her body, as it was already eleven, and she had slept eight hours.
"Little lazy pig, time to get up." Chen Tianlong called softly, while gently patting her shoulder.
However, after four or five pats, with no response, Chen Tianlong’s smile quickly turned into a frown, and he hurriedly grabbed Wu Mengting’s pulse gate.
What the hell!
Weak, extremely weak!
Chen Tianlong broke out in a cold sweat, quickly got up, and went to the drawer to retrieve his kit, then took out the row of silver needles.
Chen Tianlong knew Wu Mengting was so weak likely because he absorbed too much last night, and the energy in the Jade Pendant was depleted, so he could only get it all from Wu Mengting, going overboard.
Two minutes later, nine silver needles were stuck in Wu Mengting’s nine acupuncture points, and Chen Tianlong quickly activated the third level of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique before grabbing Wu Mengting’s pulse gate to begin transmitting Powerful Qi.
Fortunately, Chen Tianlong had this ability; otherwise, he didn’t know what others would do in this situation.
This genius, whose skills combined medicine and martial arts, could compress and transfer Powerful Qi into meridians. This was not forced input but gradual input, unlike injecting Powerful Qi directly into the needles.
It’s just a medium, using the needles’ effect to transmit Powerful Qi.
About two hours later, Chen Tianlong was sweating profusely, exhausted. But for Wu Mengting, he dared not slack off, continuing to transmit, while the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique was running at high speed, generating and transmitting Powerful Qi simultaneously.
Who knows how long had passed before Chen Tianlong came to his senses again, feeling Wu Mengting’s body start to move, and she suddenly opened her eyes and blinked at him.
"Phew... Mengting, you scared me to death." Chen Tianlong quickly retrieved the needles and held Wu Mengting in his arms.
Wu Mengting was stunned; she seemed to have just dreamed, waking to find Chen Tianlong hugging her, not knowing what it meant. But she didn’t care, snuggling tightly with Chen Tianlong: "Don’t be scared, I’m fine."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong finally felt relieved, cupping her face and kissing her. She was indeed fortunate, for most would not be saved in such situations, but he managed to rescue her in time.
The Powerful Qi in her cells was completely depleted, unlike a regular person; if the body’s Powerful Qi suddenly becomes dry, it can easily lead to cell death and life cessation.
Wu Mengting was unaware she had taken a trip to the gates of death and managed to return.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong suddenly felt unwell, and to be precise, very hot.
In Chen Tianlong’s embrace, Wu Mengting suddenly felt a scorching heat, startled, she asked quickly, "Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong? So hot? Are you feverish?"
"Haha, I might be breaking through!" Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly, looking at Wu Mengting’s adorable expression, finding her quite cute.
