Chapter 66: Bandage the Wounds
The two people who were most severely hurt stepped forward; one looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other looked thirteen or fourteen years old. They seemed quick-witted and had their own flair about them.
“At your service Clan Master Ming!” They exclaimed together.
A sly glow flashed across Ming Ye’s eyes, as he complimented them. “You’ve both got guts and intuition. You were able to find the precise time to strike and your movements were agile. Not bad!”
“Thank you Clan Master Ming for your praise,” replied the two of them respectfully in unison.
“In three days’ time, the two of you will go to the deep valley to train with our clan leader,” said Ming Ye nonchalantly as if the gruelling training in the deep valley was a breeze.
All of a sudden, the two expert assassins broke out in cold sweat. They’d never entered the deep valley before because training there often cost people their lives. Not many people who entered survived. If they had known this would happen, then they wouldn’t have risked their lives to attack the clan leader.
Ultimately, they ended up going anyway!
But here, the stronger fighter’s words were an order, so they couldn’t disobey. With clenched fists, the two of them replied with little confidence, “Yes, sir!”
Ming Ye smiled softly. In actuality, they’re quite fortunate to be able to train with the clan leader.
He looked over at the other expert assassins and said with a dreary voice, “From here on out, double your training!”
The expert assassins instantly revealed a pained expression on their faces. Their everyday training was already really intense, so doubling it would undoubtedly torture them to death.
However, what Ming Ye said next gave them a little hope. “I’ll accept ten challengers per day. If you can withstand fifty moves against me, then training will revert back to normal.”
When they heard that they had to withstand fifty moves, a glint suddenly appeared in many of the assassins’ eyes. However, the next line made their hearts drop to its all time low.
“If you can’t survive my fifty moves, then training will be tripled.”
The look on the assassins’ faces instantly fell again. Triple the training would mean that they would barely get to sleep an hour a day. If that when on, they would definitely die. It looked like they had just one chance to take on the challenge.
Ming Ye glanced at the expert assassins’ downtrodden expressions, then smiled wickedly.
Xuewu, next time, I’ll definitely severely wound you.
Meanwhile, in the canyon caverns...
Liu Rushuang and Qing’er stepped into the caverns, when two guards walked up to them and kneedled respectfully. “Welcoming the clan leader on your return!”
Liu Rushuang smile. Although she looked poorly and pale white, she forced herself to say, “Rise.”
The head of the assassins noticed that Liu Rushuang’s entire body had bloodstains, then respectfully asked, “Milady, would you like me to call someone from the infirmary over.”
“No thanks,” said Liu Rushuang, then continued to walk ahead.
Qing’Er followed behind Liu Rushuang, as they walked past the light muslin, heavily embroidered with Datura flowers and reached a place which was just as glamorous as the Drunken Cloud.
There were glass lanterns all over the ceiling, so it wasn’t dim inside at all.
Liu Rushuang stepped inside and grabbed a small blade from the shelf, then handed it to Qing’Er who had only just stepped inside.
Qing’Er knew what to do.
She cut off the bloody fabric to reveal her wounds. Since she was hit internally with cold inner breath, many areas around her wounds were already infected.
Qing’Er bit her lip and tried her best to quickly cut off the rotten flesh.
Liu Rushuang’s fists clenched tightly, as small pearls of sweat on her face glistened under the candlelight. Although the plum blosson flower mark in the center of her brows was covered, a faint golden glow was still visible.
After a while, Qing’Er finished slicing off all the rotten flesh. She skillfully grabbed for the best ointment from the shelf, applied it on the surface of the wound, and then wrapped the gauze around her shoulders and waist.
