Chapter 871: Living Test Subject
Swoosh~
The sleeping Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes.
A murderous aura instantly spread throughout his body, his eyes wide like copper bells.
He clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth, holding his breath, looking ready to fight to the death!
His memory was still stuck at the moment of mutual destruction with the Grand Elder, so his first reaction was to mobilize all his Spiritual Qi to the extreme.
"Lin Tian..."
A soft and sweet female voice came from inside the room, the kind of voice that people instantly like.
Lin Tian immediately turned his head, his face full of murderous intent as he looked at her.
Zhao Qingtang was startled by his gaze, almost falling off her chair.
"Don’t be like this, it’s okay now... Come, let’s take a deep breath and relax... good boy~" she coaxed him as if he were a child.
Zhao Qingtang looked like a girl with a clear and cute demeanor, with large eyes full of spirit and charming thin lips, all part of her alluring charm.
Seeing this familiar face in front of him, her features as exquisite as ever, made Lin Tian feel better immediately.
Inhaling the faint fragrance in the room, Lin Tian’s hostility gradually began to fade.
As she sensed Lin Tian’s gaze soften, Zhao Qingtang’s tense body gradually relaxed. But soon, her heart began to race.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhao Qingtang, being a homebody and a top student, was not used to such a gentle gaze from anyone, especially for so long.
Anyone would feel uneasy!
"Oh!" Lin Tian responded, turning his head to look at the ceiling.
Zhao Qingtang let out a sigh of relief.
For some reason, the pressure Lin Tian gave her today was overwhelming!
Suddenly, Lin Tian’s head turned back, his gaze once again falling on Zhao Qingtang.
"Why are you looking at me again?"
"You’re better looking than the ceiling."
"Gulp..." Zhao Qingtang swallowed hard, nervous. She felt her cheeks heating up, her neck too, and her heart was about to jump out.
"Don’t joke around! Let’s do a deep breath first and relax!"
"No need." Lin Tian said flatly. Realizing he was safe, he quickly adjusted his state.
"No way! Hurry up! I’m your attending physician right now!" Zhao Qingtang was about to lose it, how could he keep staring at a girl like that?!
"Alright." Lin Tian nodded and took a deep breath. Then he turned to look at her again.
Zhao Qingtang just wanted to cover her face with her hands, but that would be even more embarrassing!
She questioned, "Why are you looking at me again?!"
Lin Tian blinked, "I want to talk to you, it’s rude not to look at you."
"Fine..." Zhao Qingtang couldn’t argue with this reason.
Lin Tian asked, "How are Ruyan and Shishi now?"
"Shishi is fine, it’s just that her father is out of danger now, but his condition isn’t great. Ru Yan is very weak, rested for a few days, but she’s fine now."
Zhao Qingtang replied. She originally didn’t know them, but after spending time together over the past few days, she had become familiar with them.
Lin Tian let out a long breath, feeling slightly relieved.
"What’s the situation with Shishi’s father now?"
"The injured leg is numb, he’s mentally sluggish, has trouble focusing, no appetite, and he’s somewhat depressed."
Lin Tian furrowed his brows. This was not an easy matter to deal with.
"What about the old man? The one who got pierced by the steel bar?" Lin Tian asked.
"You looked like you were ready to kill someone earlier, was it because of that old man? He had emergency surgery, then his family took him away. Miraculously, he’s over seventy and suffered such severe injuries, yet he survived. I think it’s not the doctors who should be credited, but that old man’s good health."
Lin Tian smiled faintly, could that old man’s physique be poor? He was a Golden Core master!
The only pity was that he hadn’t managed to kill him.
The future troubles are unknown.
Lin Tian suddenly felt a headache, as they say, you don’t fear a thief stealing, you fear the thief remembering you.
This old thief, he’s after my life.
Zhao Qingtang’s big eyes observed Lin Tian curiously and asked, "Hey, did you have a fight with that old man? Why were you both so heavily injured? And... why were your clothes torn off?"
"Yeah, we had a fight, but regrettably, I didn’t kill him." Lin Tian said, suddenly realizing something was wrong: "How do you know I wasn’t wearing clothes? Did you see me?!"
Lin Tian valued his chastity like his life! If you saw me, do you have to take responsibility?!
Zhao Qingtang’s cheeks, which had just cooled down, instantly heated up again.
"Pah! Who looked!? I heard someone talking about it!"
"Who?"
"A few guys, I asked them about the situation at the time. I don’t even remember who."
"..." It would have been better if you had seen everything.
After a pause, Lin Tian asked, "How many days have I been lying here?"
"Today is the eighth day. I really don’t know what great enmity you two have, to fight so desperately and get so injured?"
Lin Tian smiled faintly, not explaining much. "One last question, why are you here?"
"Hey! What do you mean by that? What do you mean why am I here? Are you not welcoming me? If not, I’ll leave right now!"
Lin Tian felt his head hurt a bit. Has this girl gone silly from reading too many medical books? Was there any hint of unwelcome in what I said?
"You misunderstood, I was just curious." Lin Tian tentatively asked, "You wouldn’t be here to treat me, would you?"
Zhao Qingtang nodded sharply, "Yes, any problem?"
"..." Big problem, okay!
Lin Tian had some understanding of Zhao Qingtang’s medical skills. Like him, she had good theoretical knowledge but very little practical experience.
This time he almost lost his life. Was this girl using him as a living experiment specimen for treatment?
"What about my master?" Lin Tian felt that reliable people, like his teacher, were still the most trustworthy. The best ancient doctor, just listen to that impressive title!
"My grandpa came to see you for the first two days, gave you several prescriptions, and there’s a medicinal bath you can take when you wake up. Later, he had something to attend to, so he left you in my care."
"Your internal organs are all damaged, and even three ribs are broken. If it weren’t for thinking you pitiful, I wouldn’t take on such hard work."
Lin Tian felt his internal injuries almost healed.
This was basically due to his physique and Spiritual Qi’s self-recovery, and actually had little to do with medication. If really relying on medication, he might have to lay down for another two or three months.
"What have you done to me during this time?"
Lin Tian looked at Zhao Qingtang, increasingly feeling that he was like a living experimental specimen.
