Chapter 41 Xiao Bing, Sealed the Internal Power (2/2)
Xiao Bing was not sure, but he couldn't help thinking it over and over again. After all, nobody would want one of his brothers who fought with him to turn out to be a traitor. No one wanted it.
Zhang Yizhi took out a needle and asked Xiao Bing to take off his clothes and sit on the bed cross-legged. He began to start the acupuncture treatment. After seeing the dragon on Xiao Bing, his eyes also showed a moment of loss. He sighed with emotion, ”This dragon is really a masterpiece.”
Xiao Bing laughed, ”This is the masterpiece of a brother from the Dragon Gate. The director of the orphanage said that when I was a child, I had a small dragon tattoo on my body. She then depicted the appearance of the dragon tattoo. This is what it looks like. When my body grew up slowly, the tattoo disappeared. I just asked the brother to re-tattoo it according to that appearance.”
Zhang Yizhi was surprised. ”You had tattoos on your body since you were little? I really can't understand why your parents who abandoned you would give you such a tattoo.”
”I don't get it either. Since they had decided to abandon me, why bother?” Xiao Bing smiled, with a slight sadness in it. ”But my personality is that if I can't get it, I don't think about it.”
”All right, get ready. It will be a little bit painful during the acupuncture.”
Xiao Bing grinned, ”I didn't feel the pain three years ago when I was severely tortured. I wouldn't feel it now for a few needles.”
Zhang Yizhi didn't say more and began the acupuncture. There was a terrible pain when the silver needle stuck into his body. Xiao Bing indeed didn't even hum a sound, and even maintained a smiling face. He just sweated on his forehead and his skin slightly shook.
The pain got stronger as the number of needles increased. There was a feeling of tearing at his diaphragm. The diaphragm was an essential part of martial arts. Xiao Bing would've pushed him away if it were other doctors. But he could trust Zhang Yizhi with his life.
Zhang Yizhi took a look at Xiao Bing, who had a calm expression, and felt infinite emotion in his heart. Up till now, he still could not forget the night three years ago. Xiao Bing was lying on his operating table. It was he who saved Xiao Bing's life. However, Xiao Bing was still the same today. No matter how painful it was, he did not say a word. The pain at that time was countless times more than now... He had never seen a man with such perseverance as Xiao Bing in his entire lifetime of being a doctor.
When the last needle was put in, Xiao Bing could even clearly feel the strength in his body split into two parts. Most of it was gathered together and then wrapped up by something. Only a small part of his strength remained in his body.
Zhang Yizhi pulled out the needles one by one, breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from his head.
Xiao Bing stood up and slowly launched a punch. The air fiercely shook, but Xiao Bing was not satisfied. There was a feeling of emptiness that he could detect. The strength in his body really decreased.
The Concealing Strength stage... He couldn't imagine that his strength was decreased to the Concealing Strength stage. What's more, it was the medium stage of it.
Zhang Yizhi stood up slowly with a crutch, looked at Xiao Bing and said, ”Don't overthink it. It will be yours if you deserve it. You just need to take good care of your body. Although you can use the force in your body as you wish and it won't hurt you at all, it is better not to fight... Get yourself healed as soon as possible so I can unseal the power earlier.”
”I know.” Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, ”It's just that the strength I gained after so many years of hard work has been left with only this much. And I feel not used to it. If I meet some expert...”
Zhang Yizhi rolled his eyes and said, ”Isn't Concealing Strength already considered an expert? How many masters like this can you find in the entire country? You should be grateful that I didn't turn you into the Clear Strength or Bone Refining stage.”
Xiao Bing had no choice but to give a wry smile. Suddenly he wanted to drink to relieve his sorrows, ”Stop talking. Let's go for a drink.”
”Okay, let's go drink!”
Maybe because of their upcoming separation, they both drank a lot. Although Zhang Yizhi was old, he never quit drinking. But he seldom got drunk like this. He would drink a cup or two when he was alone. He would only drink more if there was someone drinking with him, but there were not many people to have this honor in the whole of China.
Xiao Bing, after all, was young and in good health. Feeling that Mr. Zhang was a little drunk, Xiao Bing asked Feuillet and the nanny to help him back. When he went upstairs, he still kept talking nonsense. There was not much difference between old adults and young people when they drink too much.
Xiao Bing went back to the Su family house. After washing his face, he went back to his room and got ready to sleep. He was just going to turn off the lights when he saw a small note on his bedside table, which said that dinner was already heated up in the kitchen pot.
Xiao Bing felt some warmth. It was the warmth of being at home.
For more than 20 years since childhood, Xiao Bing felt for the first time what a home was like...
