Chapter: 1260 (1/2)
AST 1260 – I said I came, Imperial City
Qing Shui rejoiced when he heard what Diwu Zhisha said. After all, he predicted before that he would only be able to meet Hu Yiya’s sister by new year. Only by then would he be able to think of a way to pass his message.
He took out the letter which Di Chen left for him. After much thought and careful consideration, he passed it to Diwu Zhisha. “Please hand this over to her when you see her. Just tell her that I’m here.”
Upon saying out these words, he felt very emotional.
Diwu Zhisha took over the letter handed out by Qing Shui and put it away carefully. She didn’t look into the letter.
“I will definitely hand over this letter to her and try my best to convince her to come out. I have only known her for a short period of time. So we are barely considered friends and she have very few friends. Basically, she doesn’t interact much with others.” Diwu Zhisha explained while she looked at him.
“Thank you, I am aware of that.” Qing Shui shook his head with a smile. Di Chen’s cultivation realm had gone up by too much all of a sudden. Even he himself didn’t know what cultivation Di Chen possessed now. It might have been because her cultivation went up too fast within a short period of time which caused her personality to change. It could also be that she couldn’t make it back for the time being, which made her to only keep the people and things she misses in her heart.
Even when he experienced a tremendous amount of increase in his strength back then, things like that didn’t happen to him. Hence, he had a feeling that Di Chen must have increased her strength by a ridiculous amount. His perception also told him that she must be a lot stronger than the current Eldest Princess. In fact, she would definitely be stronger than the Saint Child. After all, the Holy Woman of the Lotus Sect was equivalent to being a Chief Disciple.
Of course, it was likely that she had been absorbing the energy of the Lotus Platform throughout these few years. Maybe the strength which she achieved at that time wasn’t this terrifying. This was also Qing Shui’s guess. He felt that despite how powerful Di Chen had been, she still shouldn’t be stronger than himself.
“I should be the one to thank you. Come back to the Diwu Clan with me today and let me introduce you to my family. I will be heading back to the Lotus Sect tomorrow.” Diwu Zhisha smiled and said.
“Wait until I meet Di Chen. By then, I will definitely go visit you and your family.” Qing Shui responded after careful thoughts. If he was to go now, it would appear like he was trying to take credit for other people’s achievements. It would be better for him to stop for a period of time.
“I’m fine with that too. But I need to rush back by today since I will be setting off for the Lotus Sect tomorrow.” Diwu Zhisha once again emphasized on her point. As she looked around the area, she felt really reluctant to leave. She had already been staying here for quite a while. In the future, the time she spent living here would greatly reduce. Despite so, she still planned to stay here in the future whenever she had time as this place was like a paradise to her.
Qing Shui too got up and bid his farewell. She wanted to see him off but he refused. With that being the case, Diwu Zhisha also didn’t insist on doing so. She looked on as Qing Shui rode the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant and left, deeply aware that this man wasn’t only a powerful doctor, but a powerful warrior as well.
Qing Shui returned to the Hu Clan. Upon learning that he treated Diwu Zhisha, they were all in awe. Their first reaction was they all found it really hard to believe. No matter what, they couldn’t convince themselves to believe that he treated her because they all knew more than anyone about Diwu Zhisha’s condition. Even medicinal pills which consisted of Bones of the Living Dead and a few old doctors were unable to cure her illness. Deep down, they had actually came to conclude it to be a fatal illness.
“I believe you. Diwu Zhisha has recovered. It seems like the situation of the Diwu Clan is about to take yet another turn.” Hu Yezhong smiled and said.
“Me too. Qing Shui, your medical skill is indeed exceptional and unique. Merely your medical skill alone is enough to make you stand at the top of the Western Oxhe Continent”
Both Hu Yezhong and Hu Yimin knew more than anyone else about what he was capable of. Actually, the siblings from the Hu Clan were also able to feel that Qing Shui was really formidable. Hence, it could be said that now that they were also convinced with it. The reason why they were all so shocked was because the Diwu Clan was really powerful. However, none of the formidable alchemists and doctors they hired were able to cure her illness.
Hu Yiya’s father, along with some other people, once again thanked Qing Shui. After all, someone who was both a powerful alchemist as well as a doctor was something which they could never ask for. Never would he have thought for his little daughter’s friend to be this powerful.
No one could compare to Hu Yiya in terms of how happy she felt. The reason was a lot of the people in her clan were now praising her for having good eyes to had found a martial brother who was both a formidable doctor and alchemist. Something worth noting was, since Qing Shui cured Diwu Zhisha, the Diwu Clan would owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. Hence, considering that Qing Shui was really close with the Hu Clan, the person who would be able to benefit the most by then would very likely be the Hu Clan.
Actually, the Hu Clan shared quite a decent relation with the Diwu Clan.The reason was, that both Hu Yimin and Hu Yiqian were really close with Diwu Zhisha. Hu Yiqian was Hu Yiya’s sister in the Lotus Sect. Even though the two clans didn’t stand at the same level, the interactions between the young juniors from each clan could help make the clans closer. Furthermore, the juniors from Hu Clan also had decent potential, especially in Hu Yiqian’s generation. If things continued on like this, the Hu Clan would continue to strengthen.
Hu Yizhong and Hu Yimin, Hu Yiqian and Hu Yiya. Merely these Hu Clan’s descendants were enough to significantly increase the overall strength of the Hu Clan. Let alone that the Hu Clan still had other branches.
The fresh troops of a particular clan could be said to be extremely important. Hence explained the reason why aristocratic clan wouldn’t spare any effort to nurture the juniors from their clan. There must be a powerful person from each of their generation to lift the pot. They might even go as far as nurturing a few of them at once.
For the following time, Qing Shui noticed that the Chen Clan had actually begun to know their place. Chen Fuding no longer showed up. He didn’t know if it had something to do with the Diwu Clan but now, the upper class people had all been made aware of one thing. That was, Diwu Zhisha had recovered.
It was also only now that Qing Shui found out that Diwu Zhisha was the Deputy Holy Maiden. Meaning, she was an existence that would take over as the Holy Maiden at any time. Even if she failed to do so, she would still end up at least as an elder or even higher position in the future.
There was no such thing as an absolute secret in this world. For some reason, the people from the Diwu Clan came looking for him. Furthermore, it was Diwu Zhisha’s father. Qing Shui didn’t know if it was because Diwu Zhisha told her clan that he treated her.
He was a man who looked very handsome and seemed like he was at his middle-age. However, he seemed like someone who wouldn’t let others pay attention to his look. This was a very attractive man. Furthermore, he was also really strong but upon meeting Qing Shui, he got even more surprised.
“If I’m not mistaken, you should be Mr. Qing. I am Diwu Huangyu. Thank you for saving my daughter. I wonder if you are free to come and pay a visit to my house so as to let us express our gratitude for you.” The man said very seriously. He sounded very sincere. He realized that he was actually unable to see through the depth of this man.
