The Healer Demands Payment!

Chapter 39

The disciple rushed to Meng Qi side and reached out to grab her arm. Meng Qi avoided his hand and asked calmly: "What happened?"

Seeing Meng Qi avoided his hand and her calm, indifferent face, the disciple subconsciously frowned. After a while, he spoke again, this time more calmly. "The fellow disciples who got injured by the immortal devouring vine suddenly collapsed. Junior sister Meng, you also saw that they were alright before. But after returning to the sect, they suddenly collapsed in pain. The first one who showed the symptoms is junior sister Lan Zhuxuan." When mentioning Lan Zhuxuan's name, the disciple deliberately increased his tone. He observed Meng Qi attentively, as if wanting to see her reaction.

"After that?" Meng Qi asked calmly. She resumed her walk towards the sect gate. "Besides extreme pain, are there any other symptoms?"

"Other symptoms?" The disciple was stunned, "Afterward, the sect leader and elders came to look at them. Elder Lu immediately sent us to find you, so we don't know."

Meng Qi: "..."　She hastened her steps.

Qin Xiumo was obviously also tagging along. He walked calmly on Meng Qi's right side, separating her from the Qingfeng Valley's disciple. Qin Xiumo curled his lips mockingly. His eyes flashed in ridicule: "How about Fentian Palace's disciples who were also injured by the vine?"

The disciple once again stupefied. He took a glance at Meng Qi before hesitantly answered: "They...they seem to be fine."

Qin Xiumo chuckled pleasantly.

Although the disciple was angry, he also knew that he wasn't Qin Xiumo's opponent. Even their sect master couldn't do anything to this man. The disciple could only swallow his dissatisfaction and kept walking sullenly.

"Are you really going to save them?" Qin Xiumo lazily glanced at the sullen disciple and said to Meng Qi: "Did you forget how they treated you before?"

"They didn't trust you, doubted you, slandered you, and arrogantly provocate you." He added: "Just let them rolling on the floor as they like."

"You..." The disciple had just opened his mouth angrily when Qin Xiumo's icy glare fell upon him. He was so scared and instantly shut his mouth, no longer dare to say even a single word. But there was a small voice in his heart, saying that this person wasn't wrong. The disciple clearly remembered how they all treated Meng Qi not too long ago.

They indeed didn't trust her and openly doubted her—especially Lan Zhuxuan, who was the most provocative and hostile.

"Junior sister Meng..." The disciple didn't know what to say.

"Just keep walking. Talk later." Meng Qi said indifferently.

They originally weren't that far from Qingfeng Valley's main gate. Walking quickly, the three soon arrived at the sect and immediately went to the great hall.

Even before entering the hall, Meng Qi could hear a loud wailing from inside. The voice was full of agony, and obviously was more than one person.

The voice was so terrifying. After all, Qingfeng Valley was still a medical cultivation sect. Besides learning medical cultivation, the disciples were also practicing standard cultivation. But such wails weren't something that cultivators would make.

Meng Qi glanced at the disciple who brought them back. He quickly explained: "After returning, we were gathering in the hall to talk about the gains and losses of this mission. And...and whether to accept the invitation to join Fentian Palace or not." The disciple paused. His voice became smaller and smaller: "Then, the fellow disciples who had been injured by the vine suddenly screamed and collapsed on the floor....afterward... it is as you see now."
