Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 153 Hospital Visit
"What happened in the city?"

Lu Xiaoxue, who was standing awkwardly, was also taken aback when she heard this.

However, they quickly realized that the other party had misunderstood.

He quickly raised his hands and waved them in front of him.

"No, no, no, everything's fine in the city. It's just that I haven't seen Brother Qingfeng come down for many days, so, so..."

He tried to explain, but the more he explained, the more guilty he felt, and his voice grew softer and softer.

In the end, even Li Qingfeng, a cultivator with keen hearing and eyesight, could no longer hear it.

Noticing his expression, Li Qingfeng realized that he had been too nervous.

Looking at the little girl who was still standing there, her head completely lowered, no longer daring to look at him.

He shook his head, looking rather helpless.

He took out his silent communicator and glanced at it. There was no urgent message, so he stepped towards the iron gate leading downstairs.

As he passed by Lu Xiaoxue, whose cuffs were almost torn, he paused slightly and spoke in a soft voice.

"Alright, stop standing there like an idiot. Come down with me. This rooftop is high up and there's not much shelter. Your mortal body might not be able to withstand the wind for long."

He didn't care anymore after saying that, and walked straight to the stairwell, opened the door and stepped inside.

Lu Xiaoxue, who was standing still, was also stunned when she heard what was just said.

Somewhat surprisingly, I wasn't scolded for trespassing into the cultivation area without permission.

He looked up and scanned the surroundings again, only to find that the tall, blue-clad figure was no longer there, and then he realized what had happened.

He quickly ran a few steps and caught up with Li Qingfeng, who was coming downstairs.

"Brother Qingfeng, where are we going?"

"..."

"Hospital."

"Oh? Brother Qingfeng, you're injured?"

"...No, I'm going to visit some patients."

"Can I come along?"

"..."

"……what ever."

……

The two voices echoed from the empty stairwell to the rooftop, gradually fading into the distance.

Now, after the two have completely left...

Opposite the low table in the pavilion where Lu Xiaoxue had just been lost in thought, a figure slowly emerged, as if on the surface of water.

It was Lü Gu, who had transformed back into his original attire: an elaborate and ornate moon-white Taoist robe and a head of frosty hair.

He was looking at the direction the two had left with a strange expression.

He gulped down the hot tea he had just brewed on the small stove next to him.

He smacked his lips twice, somewhat speechless.

"You rascal, Li Qingfeng! I've been working myself to the bone for your path to immortality, and you've got yourself into a relationship here..."

He looked blaming, but his expression inexplicably carried a hint of a smile.

To be honest, Lü Gu was extremely satisfied with his apprentice, Li Qingfeng.

I originally thought that with his delusional personality, this kid would only be able to spend his whole life fighting demons and monsters in the spiritual energy revival he created.

But unexpectedly, this kid actually had a breakthrough.

Although the two of them seemed quite distant and aloof during their conversation just now.

But in reality, Lu Gu, who was standing very close to both of them, saw all the changes in their expressions.

Needless to say, the unknown girl was sitting right across from me, propping her chin on her hand.

The way he stared at his little apprentice without blinking was almost like glue.

Besides, he knew his little apprentice's personality very well.

If it were someone he didn't care about, he wouldn't even glance at them, let alone secretly slow down and wait.

If it weren't for the fact that Lü Gu was still mindful of his image as a master, he would have jumped out and shouted.

"Qingfeng! The arrogant one has retired from the meta!"

Based on Lü Gu's understanding of his young apprentice, this behavior clearly indicated that he was interested in the girl.

As for why he still had this attitude, Lü Gu could guess.

It's simply that they can't bring themselves to do it, they can't let go.

Based on Lü Gu's understanding of him, he was the kind of person who could talk a lot about cultivation and practice, and draw inferences from one instance to another.

But when it comes to anything else, he's completely unresponsive.

You could say he's stubborn, inflexible, and obstinate.

think carefully.

Lu Gu estimated that it was when he first drove him down the mountain.

The advice not to be obsessed with worldly affairs led his young apprentice to distance himself from the girl.

After figuring all this out, Lü Gu felt both angry and amused.

He shook his head with a slight smile.

"These two, one is timid, the other is stubborn."

"Tsk tsk~"

"You still have to rely on me..."

As he said this, Lü Gu put his hands on his knees and stood up from the low table.

Just as I was about to follow the coordinates, a new question popped into my head.

What should I call this little girl?

"Grand-disciple? No, no..."

"They have to be the ones who gave birth to it for you to call it that."

"Hi~"

"So what should it be called?"

While struggling with his decision, Lü Gu popped another small glass bottle into his mouth.

After a few chews, its form gradually disappeared, but the murmurs could still be heard fading into the distance.

"Should I call him...son-in-law? But that doesn't seem right either..."

"..."

At this moment, the gaze shifts downwards, arriving at the first floor of the towering Dingfeng Building.

Lu Xiaoxue and Li Qingfeng had already changed their clothes and walked one after the other toward the Special Operations Bureau's special car, which was on standby 24 hours a day at the entrance.

The driver in the car immediately noticed the two approaching.

He quickly got out of the driver's seat, opened the door, and helped the two people into the car before returning to the driver's seat and starting the engine.

"Master Qingfeng, where are we going this time?"

Meanwhile, Li Qingfeng, sitting in the passenger seat, was fiddling with his communicator, seemingly sending a message.

Only then did he look up and give the order.

"Go to the hospital for the wounded that was taken over by the detention center."

"Yes!"

Having received the order and given the destination, the carefully selected driver promptly responded.

They then started the car and drove towards the largest hospital in the city center.

Because it was an official vehicle, the journey was smooth, and the building where the two were located was in a prime downtown location.

So after driving for about ten minutes, we came to a stop with a creak in front of a rather large inpatient building.

Li Qingfeng had been keeping an eye on the outside of the window. Now that he saw they had arrived at their destination, he opened the car door and got out.

Seeing him get out of the car, Lu Xiaoxue, who was huddled in the back seat, quickly followed him down.

Neither of them spoke. Li Qingfeng looked around, getting his bearings, clearly not a stranger to this place. He then walked purposefully towards the gate guarded by two sentries.

After Li Qingfeng walked over, the two guards noticed the badge pinned to his chest and immediately stood at attention and saluted.

He then let the two pass without hesitation and entered the spacious building.

Along the way, Li Qingfeng didn't stop at all, striding towards the elevator and pressing the button for the 10th floor.

Behind her, Lu Xiaoxue, with her short legs scrambling about, also ran over, slightly out of breath.

When the elevator doors opened, the two entered one after the other.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the elevator doors opened again with a ding, revealing a long corridor running horizontally through the building.

Along both sides of the corridor, there is a light blue door at intervals.

Throughout the journey, Lu Xiaoxue tried her best to remain silent and not make a sound.

But the little head still curiously scanned the surroundings.

This area is clearly also under the jurisdiction of the Special Operations Bureau.

She noticed similar numbered badge patterns on the walls and on some of the staff members who came and went.

However, as one of the employees of the Special Operations Bureau, Lu Xiaoxue had never been here before.

However, Li Qingfeng just walked briskly forward, leaving him little time to think, and he could only hurry up and jog again to catch up.

I walked in silence the whole way.

Finally, the two stopped in front of a ward door marked with the number 025.

Li Qingfeng, with a sullen face, raised his hand and tapped.

"Knock knock~"

A moment later, a somewhat familiar voice rang out.

"...Please come in."

Upon hearing the sound, Li Qingfeng didn't hesitate and immediately reached out and grabbed the doorknob.

With a click, he turned the doorknob and stepped inside.

Lu Xiaoxue, who followed closely behind, peeked out from behind him and curiously looked at the scene in the ward.

However, the scene quickly startled him.

"These! These are..."

Upon entering, one sees four identical hospital beds in the spacious ward.

Unlike regular hospital beds, these beds reflect a metallic sheen and appear heavy and sturdy.

Thick iron chains extend from all directions around the hospital bed.

The end of the chain was gathered in the center of the hospital bed and tied to... a dog.

These dogs all have different coat colors and patterns, but the only thing they have in common is that they all have blood-red eyes and gaping, scarlet mouths full of sharp teeth.

Each one is nearly two meters long, and they are quite frightening to look at.

However, these things alone were not enough to surprise Lu Xiaoxue so much.

Having worked in the Special Operations Bureau for so long, I've also undergone a lot of military-style training.

Her mindset is no longer that of the little girl who was bullied even at school.

However, the room was filled with large dogs that were chained up and hung with various instruments and medicines.

This reminded her of something terrifying that she overheard her colleagues talking about while organizing files.

Just then, a cheerful male voice came from the side.

"These are the children harmed by the animal creation technique."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoxue looked in the direction of the sound.

But there stood Yang Ping, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe embroidered with Bagua patterns, quietly to the side.

It's clear that he was the one who said "Please come in" and gave that explanation.

However, because the scene inside the room was too horrifying, Lu Xiaoxue's attention was drawn to the big dog on the hospital bed when she first entered the ward.

If the other person hadn't spoken up, he might not have even been noticed yet.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng also shifted his gaze from the large white dog on the hospital bed.

Facing the other person, he clasped his hands together in a Taoist gesture and nodded towards Yang Ping.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Ping."

Yang Ping, who noticed this scene, returned the greeting in a similarly respectful manner.

"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng."

Looking at the formal meeting etiquette of these two people.

Standing to the side, Lu Xiaoxue looked around and awkwardly imitated the two of them, bowing as well.

"I have met, I have met Daoist Yang Ping..."

Yang Ping, who noticed this scene, also showed a smile after his face had been somewhat gloomy since he entered the room.

"Haha~ Little Xue, no need for such formalities. You are not a member of the Taoist sect, so there's no need to be so reserved."

After saying this, he turned his gaze back to Li Qingfeng, whose face was somewhat gloomy.

"I happened to be near the hospital, and as soon as I received your message, I rushed over."

As he spoke, he pulled out two long talismans from his sleeve, waved them, and indicated that he was taking the number 11 bus.

Li Qingfeng did not respond to this.

She merely tilted her head slightly to glance around, even though she was secured to the hospital bed by sturdy alloy chains.

The giant dogs, their eyes still bloodshot, were still trying to tear apart the three people inside.

"How is it? Now that your talismanic skills have improved, is there any way to cure it?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ping, whose mood had slightly improved due to Lu Xiaoxue's earlier embarrassment, also became gloomy again.

He always had a smiling face, no matter the time.

But even in this ward, looking at those twisted and terrifying giant dogs on the bed, it was difficult to calm down.

A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, but in the end he could only sigh and shake his head.

"I can not do it."

"According to the notes left by my master, the art of animal creation was originally a Taoist technique."

"Then it was learned by some street performers or unorthodox practitioners, who used it to improve their acts of immorality and evil."

"Therefore, the souls of animals that died unjustly are skinned alive and allowed to die in agony."

“Then, by sealing the vengeful spirit back into the skin and casting a spell, the human wearing the animal skin can be transformed into a half-ghost, half-beast under the control of the spellcaster.”

"With my current level of cultivation, I still can't dispel this kind of spell..."

He paused for a moment as he said this.

"I'm afraid the only way is to kill the caster, so that the spell will dissipate automatically without any basis."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng's expression did not change much, only his gaze became even colder.

He glanced back and saw a large white dog lying on the bed, with a bandage wrapped around its neck.

The atmosphere in the room fell silent.

Lu Xiaoxue, who was standing to the side, also seemed to understand the process, though she didn't quite.

Looking at the giant dogs locked on the hospital beds on both sides, I thought of the children suffering terribly beneath their skin.

He felt pity and couldn't bear to look at her.

She couldn't help but shuffle up to Li Qingfeng's side and whispered something.

"Brother Qingfeng, you will save them, right?"

...

"nature."

After coldly uttering those two words, Li Qingfeng withdrew his gaze.

Instead of looking at the horrific scene in the ward, he stepped out the door.

“I will personally kill that evil cultivator, but not now. The most important thing now is the Tomb of the Hundred Kings…”
