Chapter 27 - Caizhi’s Past Part 2

Ahhhhh!!! Help!!!

A commotion started to spread inside the training ground. The nearby experts rushed towards the place that was in flames using every kind of art they could use to rapidly extinguish the fire.

It didn't take more than three minutes for them to control the situation. Caizhi's family was rich and they had a plethora of experts serving them. These experts were way stronger than some teenagers that were just learning how to cultivate, so they could control the spreading fire easily.

Some experts started to treat the people lying on the floor. There were a lot of people with varying degrees of burning injuries, so they focused on the worst cases first.

"Oh no."

An expert saw Caizhi and her brother lying on the middle of what was once an arena and rushed to look on them. After quickly inspecting their situation, he yelled: "The best doctor, I need the best doctor here right now!!!"

Some seconds later an old man was already at the scene treating Caizhi's brother first. His life was already out of any danger, but the consequences of this fight will be a burden he will have to carry.

His face was burned at the right side and there were a lot of burning mark on his body. It would take a lot of time for his wounds to completely heal, and some marks would probably be permanent.

After stabilizing the patient, the old man went to Caizhi and checked her situation. Truth be told, he didn't expect her situation to be bad and even considered her lucky, because she didn't have a single burning mark on her, but it couldn't be further from reality.

After inspecting her condition briefly, he couldn't believe how bad was her situation. She was bleeding internally and her body was giving a lot of signals pointing to Qi backlash. He went to check her Qi veins, the structure where the Qi stream would flow, but he was shocked to see that she would probably be incapable of cultivating any further. She was practically crippled.

"What is happening here?" A stern voice took the old man out of his reverie.

Looking back, he saw the man who his life depended on, the one who he served.

The old man knelt and said: "My king, this old doctor has already handled the first aid measures. It appears that what caused this situation was a Qi backlash, resulting in an explosion of fire energy."

"A Qi backlash? Who couldn't even control the own Qi?" The man didn't even ask about the people injured, he just wanted to know the failure of a person that could cause such thing.

"My king, I've checked with the people around and it seems that there was a duel happening here just before the incident. It was the princess against the second prince and it seems that she ended up losing her control."

The man narrowed his eyes and asked: "Caizhi lost control? How disgraceful. With all the strict education we gave her and she ended up having such a misconduct. Where is she?"

"She is right there my king... it's just that..."

The doctor pointed at Caizhi, currently lying on the floor.

All this while, Caizhi lost all her strength and was lying there motionless, but she didn't lose her consciousness. She heard their entire conversation.

"What is it?"

"It's just that she probably won't be able to cultivate anymore."

"What did you say?" At this time, a female voice could be heard and her steps signaled that she was approaching.

"Caizhi caused all this?" The woman, the same woman as before, spoke with disappointment.

The king approached Caizhi and analyzed her situation.

"She is useless now. Her veins have not shattered, but her energy is mixed with the filth from the atmosphere... She won't be able to progress on her cultivation no matter what we do."

The king and Caizhi's mother just looked at her with a disgruntled look and then they left.

"My king, let me try to heal her, I'll do my best and use all my ability to do so." The doctor knelt on the ground. He was not a part of this family environment, just an employee so he needed to ask for permission.

The king stopped and said: "The resources you need to save her are enough to raise hundred more experts. Denied." After that, he continued to walk.

The doctor was left speechless. Wasn't she their own blood and flesh? He looked at the girl lying on the floor and got shocked when he saw tears flowing on the corners of her closed eyes.

The doctor took her to her bedroom and left her there so she could rest a little.

The next day Caizhi opened her eyes with only one desire. She felt weak and sore, but her body didn't sustain too many bruises. Her internal situation had been stabilized, so she left her room towards the garden she loved so much.

While going, many people stared at her with contempt. The once rising star of the family was now a sinner in their eyes.

Caizhi arrived at the garden she loved so much. Seeing those beautiful colors, made her instantly forget the nightmare of yesterday.

She passed her hands atop the flowers and beathed in their sweet fragrance. It was those short ten seconds of peace she had.

Swoosh.

In the next instant, everything was on fire. Once again, her power surged out of her control and the only thing that was beautiful for her, turned into a sea of flames. A scene right from the lowest floors of hell.

Every single color turned grey after some minutes, just remaining ashes of what was once her safe haven.

She was kneeling on the floor, crying her soul out, but no one came to rescue her from that hell. In their eyes, she was useless now, and there was no place for uselessness on this house.

Sometime later, Caizhi took her dearest things and left.. Running away from that damned place.
