Chapter 117 How could I dare to serve tea and water so easily?
Yun Zhiye, who had been lying in a coma for three days, slowly opened his eyes. An unfamiliar atmosphere filled the air around him, and the curtains by the headboard swayed gently in the wind. The aches and pains in his body made him frown.
He blinked blankly, trying hard to recall, but all that remained in his mind was the memory of being thrown off Qingri Peak and Zhenzhen's heart-wrenching cries as she fell into enemy hands.
Thinking of Zhenzhen, Yun Zhiye felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He tried to sit up, but found that he seemed to have all his strength drained away. He could only lie on the bed and look around at his surroundings.
Just as he was wondering who had saved him, Mu Qing happened to push open the door and enter, carrying a bowl of medicine.
Upon seeing Mu Qing, Yun Zhiye's eyes flashed. Hearing Mu Qing's slightly sarcastic voice, he wanted to explain, but found his throat dry and unable to speak, so he couldn't help but cough.
"Take it easy. I went to the trouble of bandaging you, so don't reopen the wound." Mu Qing placed the medicine on the table beside her and sat down casually, completely unconcerned about how badly Yun Zhiye was coughing on the bed.
"Water...trouble...water." Yun Zhiye propped himself up slightly, covering his mouth with one hand, and said intermittently.
Mu Qing twirled the teapot in her hand, but instead of pouring out the water, she raised an eyebrow and continued to ask, "I don't even know who you are, how dare I serve you tea and water so easily?"
Yun Zhiye looked helplessly at the teapot on the table, his throat becoming increasingly sore. Just as he was about to try to explain, he saw another man in gray walk in from outside the door.
"If we don't give him water soon, he might really not know who he is."
The man in gray glanced at Mu Qing with a hint of helplessness, then walked directly to Yun Zhiye's side, helped him sit up against the edge of the bed, and handed him the water bottle.
Yun Zhiye held the water bottle in his hand and opened it as if it were a treasure. The cool liquid slowly flowed into his throat, instantly soothing all discomfort.
"Thank you." After finishing his water, Yun Zhiye nodded to the gray-clad man standing next to Mu Qing in thanks.
"No need to thank me, drink your medicine first." The man in gray picked up the medicine that Mu Qing had placed on the table and handed it directly to Yun Zhiye.
Mu Qing watched the gray-clad man's actions, and although she was somewhat dissatisfied, she only frowned and did not say anything.
Seeing this, the man in gray could only smile and say, "The medicine should be drunk while it's hot. If it gets cold, I'm afraid I'll have to heat it up again."
Hearing this, Mu Qing's slightly furrowed brows relaxed. She then looked at Yun Zhiye and continued the previous topic.
"Tell me, who exactly are you?"
Yun Zhiye looked at the two middle-aged men in front of him. Although Mu Qing's actions had indeed made him uncomfortable for a while, the arrival of the gray-clothed man had actually dispelled Yun Zhiye's concerns.
Moreover, the two people in front of him had extraordinary bearing and their skills were far beyond his reach. After thinking it over, he decided to tell them everything.
"Many thanks to the two seniors for saving my life. I am Yun Zhiye, a disciple of Weiyu Tower. Today, my wife and I were strolling around Qingri Peak when a group of men in black suddenly appeared. They not only kidnapped my wife but also severely injured me and abandoned me on Qingri Peak. Fortunately, the two seniors saved me. I have no way to repay this life-saving grace. I will always remember this kindness."
"A disciple of Weiyu Tower?" Mu Qing snorted coldly, his tone quite disdainful.
"Perhaps your sect leader has offended someone he shouldn't have, and now he's taking revenge on your disciples."
Yun Zhiye sensed that Mu Qing seemed to dislike his sect and even the sect leader, so he could only smile awkwardly.
"Did those men in black say anything?" the man in gray asked, patting Mu Qing on the shoulder.
Yun Zhiye shook his head, seemingly recalling everything that had happened on Qingri Peak. "Those people came on strong, and even my wife and I, working together, were no match for them. Moreover, their target seemed to be Zhenzhen; they separated Zhenzhen and me as soon as they came up, and they even tried to kill me."
"Zhenzhen?" Mu Qing asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Zhenzhen is my wife, named Xi Zhenzhen."
After Yun Zhiye finished speaking, he became somewhat weak. After all, he had lost too much blood and had been soaking in the cold stream for half a day, and his face began to grow paler.
The man in gray noticed that Yun Zhiye seemed to have reached his physical limit, so he went over and helped him lie down, tucking him in.
"Get some rest, we'll talk about everything when you wake up."
Although Yun Zhiye was very worried about Xi Zhenzhen's condition, he couldn't do anything right in his current state, so he might as well recover and then ask his father-in-law for help.
As he pondered, Yun Zhiye succumbed to drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at Yun Zhiye, who had fallen asleep again, the gray-robed man turned to Mu Qing, who was sitting in a chair, and whispered, "Qing, I'm afraid the person you picked up is not simple."
"Why do you say that?" A hint of doubt flashed in Mu Qing's eyes.
"The only daughter of Chairman Ming of the Fengyumen family is named Xi Zhenzhen."
The man in gray smiled slightly at Mu Qing's surprised expression. He walked to Mu Qing's side, took his hand, and the two left the room together.
"In the letter Lao Xie sent a few days ago, he mentioned that Xi Ming is currently in the Five Mountains Alliance. And the person you rescued today should be Xi Ming's son-in-law."
"Should we tell Lao Xie about this, and have him tell Xi Ming about it? After all, his daughter has been kidnapped," Mu Qing asked, turning her head.
"Don't rush. Let's wait until the young man wakes up tomorrow and ask him what he thinks before making a decision."
"He's too weak..." Mu Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes. "It took him so long to wake up, and you wasted so many good medicinal herbs."
"Medicinal herbs can be replanted, but if people are gone, then they are truly gone."
"Okay, okay, I know. I'm just worried about you having to work so hard to tend your herb garden every day."
“Ah Qing, you’re mistaken. With Ah Qing by my side, how could it be tiring?” The gray-clad man, Lin Feiran, smiled gently at Mu Qing, his voice somewhat deep.
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, the Cloud Field slowly awoke.
However, when she woke up this time, the person in the room was no longer the somewhat aloof Mu Qing, but a more gentle man in gray.
"Cough cough, senior." Yun Zhiye struggled to sit up, but his strength had not yet returned, so he could only lean against the edge of the bed and give Lin Feiran an apologetic smile.
"You're awake. Have some water to soothe your throat." Lin Feiran handed Yun Zhiye a cup of hot tea, and after he took a couple of sips, she gave him a bowl of bitter herbal medicine.
Yun Zhiye looked at the dark medicine in front of him without hesitation, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. Even though his face was contorted from the bitterness, he still clasped his hands in thanks to Lin Feiran after finishing the medicine.
"You're quite an interesting young man, drinking it all without even asking." Lin Feiran looked at the empty bowl and found it somewhat amusing.
"Since you chose to save me, you certainly wouldn't want to harm me."
Mu Qing pushed open the door and entered, just in time to hear Yun Zhiye's explanation. She nodded and said, "Hmm, that's right. It seems that a good night's sleep has made your mind much sharper."
Yun Zhiye blushed at Mu Qing's words and avoided Mu Qing's gaze. He looked up at Lin Feiran and asked somewhat solemnly, "Senior, how long will it take for me to fully recover?"
Lin Feiran: "It will probably take some time for a full recovery. If I want to walk, it will probably take another four or five days."
After listening to Lin Feiran's words, Yun Zhiye's expression became somewhat solemn. He hadn't expected that simply getting out of bed would require him to remain in bed for another four or five days.
The longer he rests, the more dangers Zhenzhen will face.
Yun Zhiye gritted his teeth, threw off the covers, and with all his might, flipped himself off the bed and knelt directly in front of Lin Feiran and Mu Qing.
He looked at the two men with a resolute gaze. “I am very grateful to you two for saving me. However, my wife has been captured, and every day that I wait is a day longer. I would like to ask you two for help in delivering a letter for me. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and will never be able to repay you. After my wife is rescued, I will definitely bring her to thank you two again for your rescue.”
Mu Qing frowned as she watched Yun Zhiye disregard his injuries, about to scold him, but then she heard his request and had no choice but to sit quietly with Lin Feiran and listen.
After listening, the two remained silent for a moment. Mu Qing looked at Yun Zhiye, who was still kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but urge him, "Hurry up and get back to bed. If your wound reopens, there won't be any extra medicine to change it for you."
Lin Feiran took the initiative to walk to Yun Zhiye's side, avoiding his wounds, and helped him up from the ground and sit back on the bed.
"I ask you, is your wife the daughter of Chairman Ming of the Fengyumen Sect?"
Yun Zhiye was taken aback for a moment, then nodded repeatedly. "That's right, that's right, Sect Master Xi is my father-in-law."
"Do you know where your father-in-law is now?" Lin Feiran continued to ask.
"I know." Yun Zhiye's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said quietly, "A few days ago, Fengyumen suffered a great upheaval, leaving only my father-in-law. Now, my father-in-law is temporarily staying in the Five Mountains Alliance."
"In that case, would you like to discuss this matter with your father-in-law in person?"
"What? In person?" Yun Zhiye thought he had misheard and looked up in surprise.
Lin Feiran nodded and explained again, "Your health is not suitable for long journeys, especially since your wife was arrested here. Why don't I send a message for you and ask your father-in-law to come and meet you here?"
"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you both for saving me, seniors." Yun Zhiye was so excited that he wanted to kneel down before the people in front of him again, but seeing Mu Qing's fierce eyes, he could only sit on the edge of the bed and bow his hands in gratitude.
After understanding Yun Zhiye's thoughts, Lin Feiran no longer hesitated. He directly sent a letter to the Five Mountains Alliance, briefly explaining the situation.
Four days later, the reply brought back by the carrier pigeon surprised Lin Feiran.
The reply stated that Xie Zhi and Chen Kangnian were currently facing Xi Ming in the Wutong Courtyard in Huzhou, and that Xuan Zhang and Gongsun Rang were also present besides the three of them.
Upon seeing the reply, Mu Qing didn't hesitate to grab Lin Feiran and drag Yun Zhiye into the carriage, then drove towards the Wutong Courtyard in Huzhou.
