350 Phoenix Academy 3 (1/2)

Jun Wu Xie walked towards Qiao Chu and stood by the side of his bed and without a word, she lifted the blanket that covered Qiao Chu.

Qiao Chu lay in the bed shocked.

Uncovered under the blanket, bloodied bandages and a variety of bottles of medicine lay, obviously hastily pushed together into a messy pile to be hidden under the blanket.

Jun Wu Xie's eyes grew icy cold at the sight.

Qiao Chu gulped loudly and pulled the blanket back to cover the evidence completely.

”They had been thrown here for days and I was too lazy to dispose of them properly. Haha….. Ha…..” Qiao Chu laughed sheepishly.

Jun Wu Xie's grabbed at Qiao Chu's robe and opened it up widely. Under the robe, bloodied bandages covered most of his body, blood was still seeping through those bandages and the sight of them burned Jun Wu Xie's eyes.

Qiao Chu gasped, but knew it was too late to hide his injuries. He did not move as he saw Jun Wu Xie's face pale.

”Those….. will heal up….. real quickly.”

Jun Wu Xie ignored him and resolutely raised her head. She turned to Hua Yao who gave a long sigh helplessly before he opened up clothes in resignation and showed Jun Wu Xie his heavily bandaged upper body.

He had told the others earlier that Jun Xie was sure to find out.

”Scissors.” Jun Wu Xie asked in a chilly voice.

Qiao Chu had no choice but to dig into the mess on his bed and produced a pair of scissors, and handed it over, his heart heavy.

Jun Wu Xie held the scissors in her hand and with a few quick snips, skillfully cut the bandages away, exposing the countless wounds covering his whole body.

Jun Wu Xie's eyes narrowed.

”I'm… alright…..” Seeing the intensity of the stare in Jun Xie's eyes, Qiao Chu quickly said, trying to appear nonchalant about it.

”I have a thick hide, and wounds of this degree don't matter much.”
