Episode 53: Yang Xue Ning Visits
And without mentioning that the police were busy searching for the real culprit, Li Yan was hiding in Longtan City People's Hospital, after nine hours of continuous effort, he finally completed the initial refining of the sword with great difficulty.
Can't help but say, top-grade immortal sword is indeed top-grade immortal sword. Just by refining the initial stage of the Xian Jian sword and absorbing some innate spiritual energy, Li Yan was surprised to discover that his cultivation had actually advanced again. Although he still hadn't passed the second tribulation, his primordial spirit had already reached the peak of a second-tribulation scattered immortal.
Having power beyond one's own boundaries is not a rare thing in the cultivation world, but on this Earth where spiritual energy is extremely scarce, it is indeed a monumental task. This gave Li Yan even more confidence in what he was going to do next.
"Mr. Li, you're awake, I've put your breakfast on the table." Since witnessing Li Yan's incredible medical skills yesterday, Lin Xiaoyun's attitude towards him had improved a lot. To be honest, she was really curious about how this young man, who was two years younger than her, could possess such extraordinary medical skills?
As expected, not long after breakfast, Yun Lei came again, for the big murder case last night, unfortunately, Li Yan didn't say anything, letting her leave in disappointment.
Maybe today is indeed a good time to visit the patient. Soon after, Fang Yuan and Lin Xincheng arrived. Unlike others, after witnessing Li Yan's terror, Lin Xincheng apparently believed that the things about the Black Tiger Gang were likely to be absolutely related to Li Yan. However, this matter was of great importance, and he would never tell a third person, even if it was Fang Yuan, he didn't say anything.
However, what Li Yan did not expect was that soon he welcomed another unexpected guest. Looking at the lovely girl in front of him, Li Yan couldn't help but sniff and asked: "Are you here to see a doctor?"
"You just came to the hospital to see a doctor!" Yang Xueying responded with a bad tone, and immediately looked at Li Ping on the bed, asking in a low voice: "How is it? Has Auntie's condition improved?"
"He fell asleep just like that, fortunately without any danger to his life. However, trying to wake up his mother safely was a troublesome matter." As he spoke, Li Yan couldn't help but let out another sigh.
Even if one possesses divine-like mighty power, what can be done about it? Some things are just so helpless, heaven's will is playing with humans, probably that's how it is.
"I'm only aware of this because my mom dragged me here, so I took a leave of absence to come and take a look." Yang Xueying looked at Li Ping on the bed, then at Li Yan, and felt an inexplicable pang in her heart. She couldn't help but ask: "What are your plans from now on? Are you not going to school anymore?"
"Haha... go to school? I'm afraid it's not possible anymore." Li Yan sighed and shook his head, saying: "You also saw it, with the current situation, can I still go to school?"
"What a pity, your grades are so good, if you continue to study, you can definitely get into a very good university." Yang Xueying sighed.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, I've already attended the meeting and I have my own things to do. Going to university isn't something indispensable for me."
Indeed, he is a loose immortal, after all, an existence that transcends the mundane world. If it weren't for his mother back then, he shouldn't have gone to the school city. Unfortunately, now even his mother lies in bed, and what he wants to do most right now is to hurry up and wake her up.
"So, what are your plans? Are you going to go out and find a job?" Yang Xue asked with some reluctance, then added: "If you're looking for work, I might be able to get my mom to help you."
"No need, I still have some savings at home, and I also want to find a way to treat my mother's illness, so for now, I don't plan on working." Li Yan politely declined Yang Xiaoni's help, then chatted idly about this and that, clearly not wanting to get entangled with Yang Xiaoni over this matter.
Just then, Li Yan's phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Guan Yue, the saleswoman from Haiyang Garden, calling him. He knew this must be related to Shanheju, so he quickly gave Yang Xuejing a gesture to keep quiet.
"Hello, is this Mr. Li Yanli? A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was indeed Guan Yue's. She said with a smile as warm as spring breeze: "The procedures for Shanheju have been completed. If you need to check in, you can come to our sales office to pick up the key at any time."
"Really?" Li Yan heard this and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, his face overflowing with a smile. He hastily replied: "Alright, I'll go over right away."
Having obtained the ownership of Shanhe Residence, I can go to the underground dark river for a visit tonight. At that time, it's also good to make some preparations and subdue the dragon beast living in it. This matter is related to my awakening mother's great cause, so I naturally can't delay even half a moment. Otherwise, if the dragon beast escapes into the sea, where should I go to find it?
Just then, after hanging up the phone, Li Yan was about to go out, but he remembered that Yang Xueying was right beside him. He hastily patted his forehead and said, "I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry and forgot about you."
Yang Xue Ning heard this, feeling both angry and amused, could only say: "If you're busy, then I'll just leave first. Anyway, I've only taken a half-day off, and I still have to go back to school this afternoon."
"Alright, be careful on your way, I'll see you off," Li Yan said with a calm smile. He didn't have any objections to this; firstly, the two of them were just ordinary classmates and didn't have any special relationship, and secondly, he had more important things to attend to right now - subduing the dragon beast was imperative.
Yang Xue Ning was sent to the hospital room door, and as they were about to part ways, Yang Xue Ning couldn't help but speak up: "That... my birthday is on the fifth of next month, I'd like to invite you to come over and play at my place, okay?"
"Alright." Perhaps it was because he felt that someone had come all the way to visit his mother's illness, and he hadn't even treated them properly yet. So, Li Yan reluctantly agreed to the other party's request. Anyway, before cultivating the hundred-year-old Huang Jing and hundred-year-old Yang Shen He Shou Wu, he wouldn't be able to leave Longtan City to search for medicine in Changbai Mountain.
"Alright, it's settled then. I'll come find you when the time comes!" For some reason, after hearing Li Yan's affirmative response, Yang Xuejing felt a inexplicable thrill in her heart.
"Uh-huh." Li Yan didn't think much of it, seeing Yang Xue's slightly happy expression. Although a hint of doubt arose in his heart, he still nodded.
As Yang Xueying left, Li Yan immediately rang the bell to call Lin Xiaojun and instructed: "Nurse Lin, I'm going out for a trip and don't know if I can come back tonight, so I'll entrust my mother to you."
Lin Xiaoyun nodded repeatedly and smiled: "Don't worry, I will take good care of your mother. Besides, this is a hospital, nothing will go wrong."
"That's best." Li Yan thought for a moment and still felt uneasy, so he said: "I'll give you my phone number, if something happens just call me directly."
"Okay." Lin Xiaoyun heard this, couldn't help but smile slightly, and saw Li Yan write the phone number on a piece of paper and hand it to her. Her heart rate accelerated uncontrollably.
"Remember, if anything happens, call me." Li Yan was like a nagging old man, repeatedly giving instructions again and again, before finally turning around and leaving the hospital room under Lin Xiaojun's repeated urging.
Downstairs, he hailed a taxi and Li Yan rushed to the Ocean Garden. However, in his haste, he didn't notice that there was a car following closely behind him...
