Starting with Xingyi Quan, it swept across the chaotic world.

Chapter 71 Recovery

Ever since Lu Li moved his whole family, his life has returned to monotony and ordinariness.

It's nothing more than standing meditation, practicing boxing, leg training, going home, and occasionally patrolling.

Thanks to the ten catties of rare beast meat and ten blood-replenishing pills given to him by Master Qin every month, Lu Li's blood energy accumulated rapidly during this period.

That day, Lu Li was practicing Xingyi Quan when he overheard the disciples in the courtyard talking about Zhang Wu.

Lu Li was puzzled and was about to ask when a disciple told him that Master Qin wanted to see him.

Lu Li also noticed that several other disciples had received the message and were heading towards the inner courtyard together.

In the inner courtyard room, Qin Yushuang and Duan Kang had been waiting for a long time.

Liang Jing looked at the two of them, completely bewildered:

"Why did Master call us here?"

Lu Li looked at Duan Kang with the same question in his eyes.

Duan Kang pointed to the room behind the curtain and said softly:

"That Physician Jiang truly deserves the title of 'divine physician.' Junior Brother Zhang Wu has already regained consciousness this morning and there is a possibility of recovery."

Liang Jing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this:

"Dr. Jiang's consultation fees are not low! Master must have spent a lot of money. The treatment of a direct disciple is indeed good."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li frowned.

Is there a possibility of recovery?

In fact, Lu Li was not surprised that his master had gone to great lengths to save Zhang Wu.

After all, Zhang Wu was a direct disciple with superior talent and was the person Master Qin was looking forward to supporting in his old age.

If Master Qin had truly kicked the opponent away after he was seriously injured, the morale of the people in the courtyard might have been further shattered.

"Alright, come in, all of you." Qin Yan, who had overheard his disciples' conversation inside the room, spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the group entered the room, clasped their hands in greeting, and said:

"Master."

"Mm." Qin Yan nodded and sat down to the side.

On the bed opposite him was Zhang Wu, who was wrapped in gauze.

At this moment, Zhang Wu's face, hands, and chest were covered with a lot of gauze, and his breath looked extremely weak, but he had truly awakened.

"Cough cough..."

On his sickbed, Zhang Wu suddenly coughed twice.

Seeing this, Qin Yushuang walked to the side, took a bowl of water, and handed it to Zhang Wu.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Qin." After finishing his water, Zhang Wu looked at Qin Yushuang with gratitude in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was somewhat surprised.

Ever since Zhang Wu became Qin Shi's personal disciple, he has become arrogant, looking down on everyone. His simple "thank you" now almost sounds like a misunderstanding.

And it was so sincere, it didn't seem fake.

Perhaps he really has toned it down?

"It's alright." Qin Yushuang simply nodded and then stepped aside.

"Thank you for coming to visit, fellow disciples." Zhang Wu forced himself to thank Lu Li and the others again.

Qin Yan smiled faintly when he saw this.

Isn't the scene of his disciples being friendly and respectful to each other exactly what he wanted to see?

He knew that some people would undergo a drastic change in temperament after experiencing some major turning points. For example, Zhang Wu became extremely arrogant after learning that he had superior physical attributes. He had always felt that this was a hidden danger.

But now, after being taught a lesson by Shi Qingyang, Zhang Wu seems to have changed somewhat.

Zhang Wu's eyes no longer held their former arrogance; they had become very peaceful, and his unruly nature seemed to have returned to its state before he took on disciples.

"I hope this isn't just a temporary change and that it can stay that way," Qin Yan sincerely hoped.

Zhang Wu spoke up again at this moment:

"Master...you once taught me...'The tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind,' and now I understand its meaning!"

"It's good to know." Qin Yan's feelings were complicated, a mixture of relief and regret.

If Zhang Wu had understood these principles earlier, how could he have suffered this calamity?

"Junior Brother Zhang, focus on recovering from your injuries. You'll definitely pass the martial arts exam next year!"

Liang Jing spoke up sincerely from the side.

He had invested a lot of money in Zhang Wu. Previously, when Zhang Wu was seriously injured, he was worried that all his efforts would be in vain. But now it seems that this investment may still yield a return.

Moreover, since Junior Brother Zhang Wu has become more humble, he might cherish my kindness even more.

In contrast, Xu Fang's expression did not change much.

She had long considered investing in Zhang Wu, but Liang Jing beat her to it. For her, whether Zhang Wu recovered or not didn't matter much.

If we really want to be serious, perhaps crippling Zhang Wu would be more advantageous for her.

However, if Zhang Wuruo can truly recover now, it would give her an opportunity to win him over.

Perhaps I could use my beauty to seduce him?

Xu Fang glanced at Zhang Wu, then at Lu Li, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.

Duan Kang wasn't too upset, after all, he wasn't very familiar with Zhang Wu, and he didn't like Zhang Wu's personality in the past.

As for the future? That depends on how Zhang Wu behaves.

Qin Yushuang was happy about this, after all, they were fellow disciples, and the other party was her grandfather's personal disciple. If he recovered in the future, he could take care of her grandfather in his old age.

Moreover, with the formidable Tongbi Martial Arts School looming ahead, if Junior Brother Zhang Wu could recover, he would undoubtedly be the most powerful candidate to deal with Huo Xiao.

After all, it takes much longer to break through with superior physical attributes.

Although Junior Brother Lu Li has a solid foundation, his blood energy accumulation is not fast. His opponent will not really wait for Junior Brother Lu Li to accumulate blood energy before they can compete.

If Junior Brother Lu had entered the sect a year earlier...

Hey……

On his sickbed, Zhang Wu glanced at Lu Li out of the corner of his eye and felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing the other's silent expression.

"Senior Brother Lu... I heard you passed the exam, congratulations!" Zhang Wu quickly said, his face sincere. "I've thought about it, and I realize I did many things wrong in the past. My arrogance led me to make mistakes... Now I understand, and I'm sorry, Senior Brother Lu!"

As Zhang Wu spoke, he even tried to force himself to stand up so he could bow and apologize to Lu Li.

Lu Li narrowed his eyes, keenly catching the fleeting hatred in the other person's eyes before they lowered.

The acting skills were still lacking.

Watch me put on a show!

Lu Li sneered inwardly, but his expression seemed to be moved by Zhang Wu's words.

"Junior Brother Zhang, there's no need for that. You're too weak to get out of bed."

"Sigh... Your changes back then were indeed annoying, but if you can turn over a new leaf, what's the point of dwelling on the past?"

Lu Li's words really surprised many people, since in this situation most people would choose to offer comfort.

But Lu Li offered both criticism and encouragement.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu! I will definitely change from now on!"

Zhang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that Lu Li would remain silent, give a perfunctory answer, or act like a brother.

That would only make Zhang Wu wonder if Lu Li was planning to harm him intentionally.

Now, some ordinary people are reacting honestly.

Qin Yan nodded to himself upon seeing this, and said softly:

"Alright, now that we've met, let's all go back and practice our martial arts."

Qin Yan waved his hand and led everyone away.

Zhang Wu watched everyone leave with a smile, but as soon as the door closed, the smile on his face turned icy cold.

"You wronged me; how can I not avenge this!"

Zhang Wu gritted his teeth, roaring inwardly.

If Lu Li hadn't betrayed him back then, how could he have become like this today?

Zhang Wu's eyes flashed with overwhelming hatred.

I am no match for Lu Li now. I will make my move once my strength is restored and I have made a further advancement!
