"So, I need your help. While I'm treating her, you need to ensure Miss Chu Er remains conscious and self-aware at all times. Simply put, don't let her forget who she is."
Cui Tiq's treatment began. No medication or instruments were involved. He simply had Chu Er lie flat on the ground while he sat beside her, motionless as a clay sculpture.
Li Banfeng asked Chu Er, "What's your name?"
"Chu Huaiyuan."
"Which Taoist Sect are you from?"
"Bitter Cultivation."
"Are you male or female?"
Chu Er glanced at Li Qi. "Do I need to strip for you to see?"
Li Qi didn't know what else to ask; he and Chu Er had never had much to say to each other.
"Why did you save me?"
Chu Er laughed. "Don't play dumb. I've taken a liking to you. Can't you tell?"
"Why would you take a liking to me?"
"For me, there aren't that many 'whys'."
"Did you cause Ma Wu to become like that?"
