Chapter 72 Only Friends?
Gao Ge has stayed in the ward for two days.
He finally recovers his power of stars in two days.
If it were other cultivators, they would have got well much earlier. Yet, he doesn’t feel strange at all.
He knows that the power of stars inside his body is much more than that of other cultivators. That is why Xia Lu became disadvantaged soon while Gao Ge still stayed at the peak of his capability back in the Ning’s house.
It takes him a longer time to recover, for which the power of stars to be recovered will be more.
When he walks out of the ward, Xia Lu has been transferred to an ordinary ward.
As a cultivator, Xia Lu recovers faster than common people.
Yue Xincheng and Meng Jing have been taking care of Gao Ge and Xia Lu in the hospital. Meng Fang hasn’t left. He plans to bring them all to Nancheng City after Xia Lu gets almost well.
Seeing that Gao Ge rushes towards him with a delighted face, Meng Fang knows that he must be about to fully recover.
“How much do you recover?” Meng Fang asks.
“More or less.” Gao Ge says.
Meng Fang becomes surprised, “It has taken you such a long time to get well more or less?”
Gao Ge flushes and nods his head.
Meng Fang takes a deep breath and points at Gao Ge with his finger, “You are odder and odder. After you reach the Cultivation Academy, I will try to make you into Class Tian.”
Gao Ge grins and says, “We can talk about it by then. Can I transfer my power to her?”
“Emm, but don’t do it for a long time. 10 minutes will be enough.”
Gao Ge takes a chair and sits beside the bed.
“Give me your arm!” Gao Ge says loudly to Xia Lu.
Xia Lu thinks for a second and reaches out her arm.
When Gao Ge starts to transfer power to Xia Lu, her face shows a weird look.
She starts to recall how she felt in the ambulance.
Back then, she only felt that her consciousness was slowly fading away.
She realized that she might be dying.
Although there were two powers striking her heart and trying to revive her, but they didn’t work at all.
However, very soon another new power went into her body along her arm.
Just like warm spring water, it flew slowly in her body and nourished her martial meridians, bringing her consciousness back together.
She can never forget that feeling in her life.
Now she has the same feeling again.
“While I was in the ambulance, I thought I was dying.” Xia Lu says while looking at the serious Gao Ge.
Gao Ge smiles, except that his smile is a bit reluctant. It is quite energy-consuming for him to transfer the power of stars to Xia Lu’s body.
When he transferred the power of stars to Xia Lu in the ambulance, he was completely worn out for only a while of transferring.
“Thank you.” Xia Lu says in a soft voice.
“You are welcome. I am the one who should say thank you.” Gao Ge says seriously.
“Then we both don’t say thank you. After all, you don’t owe me and I don’t owe you.” Xia Lu says with a smile.
Gao Ge nods his head and says, “Okay.”
Yue Xincheng is watching Meng Jing beside them, noticing that Meng Jing does not appear unhappy. Thus, he gives Gao Ge a big thumb-up in his heart.
Boss is boss. What he has to learn is quite much!
Meng Fang estimates that it has been a while since Gao Ge started transferring the power of stars to Xia Lu, so he hastens to stop Gao Ge.
“It shall be enough. Are you planning to keep lying in the hospital?” Meng Fang says crossly.
Gao Ge grins and rests on the chair.
Meng Fang turns around and puts his finger on Xia Lu’s pulse, nodding his head slowly.
“The effect is not bad indeed. Then she needs to take a good rest. I am going to handle the outpatient procedure and let’s go back to the yard.” After saying that, Meng Fang looks at Xia Lu, as if he is asking for Xia Lu’s opinion. After she nods her head too, Meng Fang stands up and walks out of the ward.
Just in a while after Meng Fang leaves, the ward door is pushed open suddenly.
“Mr. Meng, you...” Yue Xincheng is going forward when he stops talking. Seeing the intruder, he frowns and asks, “Who are you?”
Yet, Xia Lu, who is lying on the bed, sees the man walking in, her face becomes pale again.
She hastens to crawl off the bed but she is stopped by Gao Ge.
“You haven’t recovered. Don’t move around.” Gao Ge says.
Xia Lu says nothing with her eyes fixed on the man who walks into the ward.
“Who are you? Can’t you hear me?” Yue Xincheng flies into a rage and watches the man walking into the ward himself. He gets even more furious. He reaches out his hand and puts it on the man’s shoulder. Unexpectedly, the man reaches out his hand as fast as a lightning and catches Yue Xincheng’s wrist.
The man turns around quickly and punches Yue Xincheng in his chest in front of Gao Ge and Xia Lu.
Yue Xincheng keeps retreating and then falls down on the ground.
“Hmm, you are dead meat.”
When Gao Ge sees Yue Xincheng beaten, he cannot just sit there, reaching out his fist to strike at the man.
Because he transferred the power of stars to Xia Lu before, Gao Ge has not got well completely. His strike looks strong and forceful, but it is actually full of loopholes. The man in front of him is apparently a master who finds Gao Ge’s gate of vitality. When he holds Gao Ge’s fist and tries to fight back, he hears Xia Lu who is lying on the bed shouting hurriedly, “Brother, stop it!”
The man stops and lets go of Gao Ge’s wrist, watching the anxious Xia Lu.
Gao Ge, as well as Yue Xincheng who just got up, looks so confused.
This seemingly gloomy man is Xia Lu’s elder brother?
“Come back with me.” That man looks at Xia Lu and says grimly.
Well...
His poker face does look like Xia Lu’s.
“I don’t...” Xia Lu shakes her head and bites her lip. When the man looks at her, she lowers her head, looking as if she dare not make eye contact with him.
The man continues saying, “I will help you explain to Dad.”
“Brother, I cannot go back for now. Moreover, I am going to the Cultivation Academy.” Xia Lu says.
The man sighs.
He turns around and looks at Gao Ge, “Are you Gao Ge?”
Gao Ge nods his head subconsciously.
“My sister got wounded because of you?”
Gao Ge nods his head again.
The man rushes forward and punches Gao Ge in his chest.
Gao Ge gets hit away and is heavily thrown to the ground, without a chance to react.
Meng Jing comes to stand in front of Gao Ge hurriedly.
“Who are you then?” The man is a bit puzzled.
“I am Gao Ge’s girlfriend!”
“What?” The man gets furious again, “You have other girlfriends?”
Lying on the ground, Gao Ge almost vomits blood.
On the one hand, he is injured by the man’s Thunder Fist.
On the other hand, he is pissed off by what the man said.
He really doesn’t know how to speak in a proper way! How many girlfriends does Gao Ge have on earth? There is only one!
“Since you have a girlfriend, what is the relationship between you and my sister?” The man asks in a deep voice.
“Brother, he and I are only friends.” Xia Lu says in a low voice.
“Friends? If he were only a friend, why would you break into the Ning’s house with him and even take a bullet for him?” The man snorts and says, believing that what Xia Lu is hardly true.
“He saved my life.” Xia Lu says, “When we were in the secret realm of Mount Duanlong.”
