6 The Man Who Arrived 7 Years Earlier - Ren Shui (1/2)
As the guards were contemplating what to do with her, the dungeon gates were opened. Although the prison cell they were in was at the end, they can still clearly hear any movement. They heard multiple footsteps so they waited for the visitors to come.
”Who told you to stop?” chided Great Elder Yui from the hallway. She then entered the cell with Great Elder Yuanting.
”Great Elders...”, the two guards greeted. One of them then lashed his whip at her chest, ”Look, she is no longer responding to our strikes.”
Great Elder Yui scrunched her eyebrows and looked Aurora from top to bottom. She then turned to Great Elder Yuanting, ”Great Elder Yuanting, please cover up her wounds.”
Great Elder Yuanting sighed but still proceeded to walk towards Aurora. ”Take her down and lay her on the floor. I can't check her properly if she's hanging like this.”
One of the guards went out to fetch the keys on the small office before the dungeon's entrance.
Great Elder Yuanting circled the blank and naked Aurora. Aside from the countless whiplashes, blunt strikes and blade cuts all over her body, he also immediately noticed that this lady was s.e.xually violated a few days ago. He sighed again and reminded, ”Yui, you better make sure she dies tomorrow. If she is to escape...” Before Great Elder Yuanting finished, Great Elder Yui immediately intervened, ”Even if she escapes, she doesn't have the ability to exact revenge. She has no sign of elements in her and her life force is also halved by that Demon Lord.” Great Elder Yui rubbed her thumb on a red handmade perfume pouch hanging on her waist, ”I just don't get it why he didn't absorb her entire life force.”
The guard came back and together with the other guard took her down from her chains and laid her on the cold floor. Great Elder Yuanting then brought out his medicine bag from his cosmos sack and started to clean and patch her wounds. It took him an hour to completely finish and said to the guards, ”Tomorrow, two hours before the execution, I will send someone to clean and dress her up. Don't give her any more wounds.”
”Yes Great Elder Yuanting!” answered the two guards.
Great Elder Yuanting then turned to Great Elder Yui, ”Her flesh wounds will heal overnight but the trauma...”, he shook his head because he knows that what he would say will be useless to Great Elder Yui. ”Anyway, don't overdo it Yui. Make sure you prepare your speech tomorrow.”
Great Elder Yui slightly bowed to the leaving Great Elder Yuanting, ”Thank you for your concern Great Elder Yuanting.”
If Great Elder Yui is of the third rank of all the Great Elders, Great Elder Yuanting is second, so she had to give him higher respect. He specializes in medicine and is the master of Protector Du.
