759 Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall (1/2)
The two rushed over immediately when they found out that Mo Wen had returned.
”Supreme Sect Leader, please forgive your subordinate for his uselessness.” Hu Tianfeng bowed in greeting from afar. There was a hint of shame in his eyes. He had tried his best to treat Shen Jing after finding out who she was. However, he had not succeeded.
Mo Wen shook his head. He had not managed to find the cause of the problem either, so he would not expect Hu Tianfeng to be able to do anything. He looked at Lin Qing and asked, ”What happened?”
”Shen Jing was indeed poisoned by sodium cyanide at first. But I am not sure what happened afterward. It is all my fault. I knew that something was happening with Shen Jing's family but I did not pay attention to it. That's why something like this happened.”
Lin Qing lowered her head in shame. She and Shen Jing were best friends who had known each other for many years. She knew about Shen Jing's family situation. However, she had never thought that something like this would happen. She had thought that no matter how much Shen Jing's adoptive parents disliked her, they would not be so vicious.
She went to find Shen Jing's parents immediately after receiving news of Shen Jing's attempt to commit suicide by taking poison. Then, she sent Shen Jing to Jing Hua First Military Hospital by using her connections. If this was regular sodium cyanide poisoning, she had faith that they would be able to save her as long as she was not dead.
However, the situation that followed was beyond everyone's expectations. The doctors in the hospital could not find any toxins in Shen Jing's body. Even the miracle physician from the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan they found could not do anything. There was nothing that could be done.
”I'm sorry.”
Mo Wen's expression was grave. Lin Qing could not help but feel uneasy. Her face was slightly pale. Even Mo Wen could not do anything. Was Shen Jing really going to be in big trouble?
”This is not your fault.” Mo Wen shook his head and slowly reigned in his emotions. He said lightly, ”Don't worry, even though I can't tell why Shen Jing is like this, it seems like it is not much of a threat. Perhaps she is in a state that we all do not know about. As for how long this state will persist, we can only resign ourselves to fate.”
He sighed. Actually, Shen Jing was fine and was very healthy. There must be a reason why she was comatose.
”What do you plan to do?” Lin Qing asked.
”I'll take her away from the hospital. You all don't have to bother yourselves with anything else,” Mo Wen said lightly.
”Then…What shall we do when Shen Jing's adoptive parents ask about her?”
Lin Qing hesitated. Even though Shen Jing's adoptive parents had gone a little too far, they had still brought Shen Jing up. There were feelings between all parties involved to a certain extent. After finding out that Shen Jing had consumed poison, they had immediately sent her to the hospital. They had even done something to send her to Jing Hua City.
But no matter what, as Shen Jing's adoptive parents, they had the right to know. It would not be easy to hide from her adoptive parents that Shen Jing had been taken away.
”Just tell them that their daughter is dead,” Mo Wen said coldly as he turned to leave the hospital expressionlessly. If they had not brought Shen Jing up and sent her to university, he would not let this go so easily. Since they forced Shen Jing to commit suicide through poisoning herself, then they should just take it that their daughter has died.
Lin Qing looked at Mo Wen's retreating back and shook her head helplessly. This man was really assertive.
The discharge procedures were very straightforward thanks to Han Jiangong dealing with it personally. Mo Wen found a car and brought Shen Jing back to the courtyard in the school. The courtyard was very big. It was big enough for him to settle her there.
”Let me take care of Teacher Shen Jing in the future,” Qin Xiaoyou said softly as she stood behind Mo Wen. She watched as Mo Wen specially set out a room for Shen Jing. Even though she did not know why Mo Wen had taken Teacher Shen Jing home and not leave her in the hospital for treatment, she fully supported all his decisions.
”She just wants to sleep quietly. Leave her alone.” Mo Wen shook his head. Shen Jing did not need someone to take care of her in her current condition. She could sleep for a few years, a few decades, even a few centuries without eating. This state was like inedia, but even more amazing than that. That was because Shen Jing was completely pure, devoid of any filth both inside and outside. He could not detect any filth on her at all.
There would not be any filth or mess even if she slept for a hundred years.
Qin Xiaoyou nodded uncertainly.
They walked out of the courtyard. There was someone sitting quietly in a wicker chair in the courtyard. The person had gotten a pot of tea from somewhere and was drinking it.
The person was dressed in white and had an ethereal aura. The person's features were exquisite. Even Mo Wen had rarely seen anyone with such exquisite features. The oddest thing was that one could not tell the person's gender at a glance. The person had a stunning and androgynous face. If he were a man, he would be the most handsome man in the world. And if she were a woman, she was definitely the most beautiful woman in the world.
These two conflicting extremes appeared on one person at the same time.
The courtyard was usually occupied by only Qin Xiaoyou and Mo Wen. Others rarely visited. The sudden appearance of another person shocked Qin Xiaoyou. However, Mo Wen seemed as if he already knew this would happen. He sat down in front of that person expressionlessly.
”I did not expect that you had gotten to this stage in such a short time.”
