There were a total of four people inside the ward. Chen Yu first looked up at Zhang Wenwen, then her eyes fell on a middle-aged Daoist priest wearing a Daoist robe in front of the hospital bed. The middle-aged Daoist priest was clutching a jade pendant with sufficient spiritual qi, channeling the spiritual qi from the jade pendant into the young man on the sickbed.
“Ziyang, how is Ziyang?” Shao Hui squeezed through the crowd and ran to the front of the hospital bed.
“Chen Yu, please save my brother.” When Zhang Wenwen saw Chen Yu standing in the doorway without moving, she eagerly ran over and pleaded.
It was the first time Chen Yu saw her crying and begging. She pulled her hand back hard, but Zhang Wenwen thought she was going to shake herself off, so she grabbed tighter.
Shao Hui also reacted at this time. He turned his head towards Chen Yu and called, “Shishi, can you quickly come over and check?”
“Let go!” Chen Yu shouted with a head full of black lines at Zhang Wenwen who was hanging onto her arm.
“Chen Yu, it was all my fault before. I shouldn’t have said bad things about you. I’m so sorry. Please, save my brother.” Zhang Wenwen’s eyes were swollen from crying. She was obviously really worried about this brother of hers.
“You’re restraining me, so how can I even get closer to him?” Chen Yu retorted while baffled.
“Uh…” Zhang Wenwen froze for a moment, then as if she was shocked by electricity, she hurriedly released her hand.
Chen Yu then walked closer towards the hospital bed. Mother Zhang, Chu Xiao, and Shao Hui were surrounding the bed, but they stepped back at the same time and looked at Chen Yu with hopeful expressions.
Chen Yu glanced at the young man in the hospital bed. He looked like Zhang Wenwen, but his skin color was pale and almost transparent. Maybe it was because he was in bed for a long time, so his cheeks looked particularly gaunt. He was sleeping quietly, but the vitality in his body was fading away little by little.
His vitality that was mixed with the spiritual power input by the middle-aged Daoist priest flowed into a black hole the size of a table tennis ball in the middle of the young man’s eyebrows. If the middle-aged Daoist priest hadn’t continuously injected his spiritual power, the young man’s vitaliy would have been cut off long ago.
“Ngh!” The middle-aged Daoist priest suddenly grunted with strain. His sweaty forehead and cramped hands was enough to tell that he could not sustain for much longer.
“Daoist Zhao!” Mother Zhang looked at him nervously.
“Mrs. Zhang … poor Daoist…I’m afraid…I can’t hold out any longer.” Daoist Zhao said with some strain.
“Hold on a little longer!” Chen Yu suddenly spoke up.
From the moment Chen Yu entered the door, Daoist Zhao knew that Mrs. Zhang’s daughter didn’t lie. The little girl she said she knew was indeed a Celestial Master, and the spiritual power around her was stronger than his. It was just that Chen Yu made no move after entering the door. Daoist Zhao was absorbed in maintaining Zhang Ziyang’s vitality, so he had no time to ask Chen Yu.
Now that Chen Yu had actually taken the initiative to speak, Daoist Master Zhao heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Three…three minutes.”
“That’s enough,” Chen Yu pulled out the compass from her backpack as she spoke.
She had previously absorbed a lot of evil qi in order to awaken the dormant evil spirit in Lou Ming’s body, but although she had recovered a lot these days, she decided to borrow the aura stored in the compass for ‘just-in-case-things-go-bad insurance’ purposes.
“Bzzzz!!!”
The compass vibrated unhappily in Chen Yu’s hand, as if to say, Every time I just absorbed spirit qi, you would then drain me.
“Be good, and I’ll let you sleep there at night,” Chen Yu said soothingly.
The compass went quiet. Chen Yu raised her hand and gently threw it. The compass rotated in the air and then stopped above Zhang Ziyang’s head. A faint spiritual light sprinkled down, and shrouded the young man’s entire head.
Although the other people in the ward couldn’t see the spiritual light, witnessing the dark compass floating in the air on its own, was already shocking enough. Shao Hui and Qin Yi, who just entered through the door, were also dumbstruck.
Under the spiritual light, the black hole in Zhang Ziyang suddenly stopped absorbing vitality and instead absorbed spiritual qi from the compass.
