481 Waking Up

Jin Qi only told Zhou Zhi what Su Xiaolu had prepared, but Zhou Zhi couldn't help but smile.

He took the cup and drank all the bitter medicine.

Then he said, "I need to wash up. Don't tell her that I'm awake yet. Think of a way to delay her."

He woke up, but he smelled of medicine. He still wanted to wash up before meeting Su Xiaolu.

"Yes."

Jin Qi accepted the order.

Therefore, when Su Xiaolu estimated the time and was about to come over to check on Zhou Zhi, she saw Jin Qi with his shoulders hunched. His face was pale and he was sweating, but he still stood firmly outside the door.

Su Xiaolu asked with concern, "Jin Qi, what's wrong? Why is your arm dislocated?"

Jin Qi broke out in cold sweat. He said with difficulty, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Su. I suffered from Qi Deviation when I was channeling Qi just now."

He really did not know how to stall Su Xiaolu, so he could only use self-torture to attract her attention.

"Qi Deviation? Then why are you still standing here? He'll be fine if you don't watch over him for a while. Why aren't you going to see a doctor... Wait, I'm just a doctor. Come, let me take a look."

Su Xiaolu asked Jin Qi to see a doctor, but she remembered that she was a doctor herself and felt dizzy for a moment. She did not go in to see Zhou Zhi but asked Jin Qi to go to the side room.

Jin Qi was not the only guard beside Zhou Zhi. Moreover, there were secret guards in the dark.

Su Xiaolu was kind. Jin Qi had made the right bet.

He felt a little guilty.

Su Xiaolu asked Jin Qi to sit down and took his pulse first.

His pulse was a little chaotic, and his meridians were slightly damaged. It was not a big problem. He would be fine after taking some medicine.

Su Xiaolu took out the silver needles and said, "It looks like your arm is more serious. I'll seal it with the needles, but it's still going to be very painful. Bear with it."

Jin Qi nodded without looking into Su Xiaolu's eyes.

Su Xiaolu started.

After sealing the acupuncture point with silver needles, Su Xiaolu grabbed Jin Qi's wrist and pushed his internal energy in. She then gently turned his arm and reset it forcefully.

With a click, the dislocated arm was restored, and Jin Qi's arm could move freely.

After some delay, an hour had passed.

After dealing with Jin Qi's injuries, Su Xiaolu went to see Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi had already washed up. He was dressed in plain gray clothes and only had a few strands of his hair tied with a cloth strap. Dishes had been prepared on the table and he was waiting for Su Xiaolu.

"You're awake."

Su Xiaolu smiled and naturally sat down. She reached out and held Zhou Zhi's wrist. She took his pulse first. His pulse was stable and normal. His body was slightly weak, but he was still in a controlled state.

"Good. The next step is to eat well and recuperate. After half a year, we'll carry out the second detoxification. However, based on the time, the second detoxification will be in winter. The weather would be cold, so I'm afraid your body won't be able to withstand it. Therefore, the second detoxification location has to be a place with a hot spring. I think this won't be difficult for you."
