Chapter 15 - Chapter 79 The Beginning of Fate with Zhang Lexuan

"This is a very high certainty. Le Xuan's recovery should be fine," said another Healer Soul Master.

Xuan Lao also calmed down a bit; the situation was indeed relatively optimistic.

"When can she wake up?" Xuan Lao asked.

"Tomorrow noon at the latest. After she wakes up, you'll have to tell her not to use Soul Power for the next one or two months."

"Her meridians are still very fragile and cannot withstand the turmoil of Soul Power circulation. Forcing the use of Soul Power may worsen her injuries," Zhuang Lao said.

Xuan Lao carefully noted this down, then looked at Shi Yu and said somewhat awkwardly, "How about you work a little harder and provide a little blood every day so Le Xuan can recover as soon as possible?"

"No, we agreed on one week apart," Shi Yu flatly refused. If he had so much blood drawn every day for ten consecutive days, he would surely collapse.

"Once a week for treatment is more suitable. Too frequent treatment is not good," Zhuang Lao said.

Mu En also spoke, saying once a week.

Xuan Lao couldn't say anything more.

Shi Yu returned to his room to sleep. Early the next morning, someone sent over a thousand-year-old Blood Nourishing Flower.

This kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that nourishes qi and blood can be taken orally.

After confirming the dosage and method, Shi Yu chewed the flower and swallowed it, feeling warm all over and his body heating up.

This Blood Nourishing Flower does not need to be refined after consumption; it will slowly exert its effect to nourish qi and blood.

Shi Yu went about his day as usual. After eating breakfast, he returned to his room to read.

At noon, just as he was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch, he met Zhang Lexuan being helped along the way.

Helping her was Ma Xiaotao, whom he had met once before.

"Senior Apprentice Sister," Shi Yu greeted proactively, trotting to catch up.

The two stopped and turned to look at Shi Yu approaching.

Ma Xiaotao looked at Shi Yu with a slight displeasure. This person had killed Xu Sanshi, who had helped her suppress her evil fire.

Zhang Lexuan, however, carried kindness and gratitude.

"Are you going to eat?" Shi Yu asked as he walked over. This was the direction to the Inner Courtyard cafeteria.

As he spoke, he looked Zhang Lexuan up and down. Changing into clean clothes made her look less miserable.

However, there were still a few scars on her face, and her complexion was not good, incomparable to her previous spirit.

"Yes, you should be going to eat too, let's go together," Zhang Lexuan invited proactively.

"Okay," Shi Yu was alone anyway and didn't mind having two more dining companions.

"I heard the Teachers say that thanks to your help, my injuries might have been very troublesome to recover from otherwise."

"I'll remember this favor and repay it in the future," Zhang Lexuan said seriously.

"What help did he give you?" Ma Xiaotao asked curiously, not knowing the inside story.

Mu En had ordered a seal on the matter of Shi Yu's blood. It was enough for a few people to know; there was no need to publicize it.

This was not a good thing for Shi Yu, as it was necessary to avoid being targeted by those with malicious intent.

Zhang Lexuan, knowing the situation, did not explicitly state that Shi Yu's blood helped her injuries recover when she mentioned it at this time.

Zhang Lexuan shook her head, not intending to clarify for Ma Xiaotao.

Shi Yu naturally understood in his heart and showed a sunny smile: "No need for favors, I have already been repaid."

If he were to provide blood to Zhang Lexuan for free, then it would be reasonable for her to owe him a favor.

However, he was not doing it for free; he had received compensation, so there was no need for the other party to owe him a favor. It didn't make sense.

"That was the compensation Mu Lao gave you. I shouldn't take it for granted just because of that," Zhang Lexuan had her own opinion.

"Whatever," Shi Yu didn't want to argue with Zhang Lexuan for a long time over this matter; it was meaningless.

Since she was willing to owe him a favor, then let her. Anyway, he probably wouldn't ask for this favor.

Shi Yu curiously inquired about Zhang Lexuan's experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest.

He only knew the general outline but was quite curious about the specific details.

For example, what kind of Ten Thousand Year Phoenix was the one Zhang Lexuan killed.

"Speaking of which, it's my fault. If I hadn't provoked that Star Moon Dragon Wolf, I wouldn't have attracted that Ten Thousand Year Star Moon Dragon Wolf," Zhang Lexuan said remorsefully.

They were supposed to hunt a seventy thousand year old Star Moon Dragon Wolf, which was a very suitable Soul Beast for her.

Who would have thought that behind this Star Moon Dragon Wolf was an even more powerful Star Moon Dragon Wolf.

It was already somewhat difficult for the few Inner Courtyard disciples to work together against the seventy thousand year old Star Moon Dragon Wolf.

One can imagine how bad the situation was facing a Ten Thousand Year level Star Moon Dragon Wolf.

If it weren't for those few Inner Courtyard Senior, Senior Apprentice Sister fighting desperately to create a sliver of hope for her, how could she still be alive now.

Three others who went to the Star Dou Great Forest with her needed to obtain their eighth Soul Ring, and three were already Soul Douluo. They were accompanying her, which was considered a training mission.

There were still students in the Inner Courtyard with higher cultivation than Zhang Lexuan, mostly male students. Female students with Soul Douluo cultivation were basically considered half-Teachers.

It was precisely because of this that the title of Senior Apprentice Sister fell upon Zhang Lexuan.

"How could you have predicted that at the time? Don't blame yourself too much," Shi Yu comforted.

"Yes, Senior Apprentice Sister, this is not your fault. Please don't blame yourself too much," Ma Xiaotao also advised and comforted.

She didn't want Senior Apprentice Sister to be trapped in this matter.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and didn't say much about this matter.

The three of them went to the cafeteria together. Shi Yu filled his plate with dishes from the most expensive window.

"It feels so good to be free," Shi Yu didn't dare to order dishes from that window like this before; even with a rich family background, it would be painful.

Now there was no pressure at all, as he had received permission and these meals were free for him.

Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao went to the window that was already free for Inner Courtyard disciples to get their food.

After getting their food, the three of them sat at a table to eat.

"You eat so much energy-rich food, aren't you afraid you won't be able to digest it?" Zhang Lexuan reminded.

"I'll find someone to spar with after I eat. I should be able to digest it," Shi Yu said, not unaware that consuming too much energy might not be a good thing.

"Go for a fight? Do you want me to be your sparring partner?" Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow and said with a slight smile.

Shi Yu looked up at Ma Xiaotao, sensing ill intentions from the other party's smile.

"I won't trouble Senior Apprentice Sister Ma Xiaotao," Shi Yu smiled and politely refused. How could he spar with the other party? Wasn't that asking for a beating?

Ma Xiaotao had mentioned her name on the way here.

"Where are you fighting? I happen to be free and can go watch. Maybe I can even help you point out some problems," Zhang Lexuan said after a moment of silence.

After receiving some of Shi Yu's blood, she always felt indebted to him and wanted to compensate him as much as possible.

Shi Yu originally wanted to refuse, but he felt that with Zhang Lexuan's strength and talent, she might truly be able to help him discover some problems.

"Will this affect Senior Apprentice Sister's rest?" Shi Yu hesitated.

"It's also uncomfortable to lie down all the time. Finding something to do can also relieve boredom," Zhang Lexuan said.

"Alright then, but I'm sparring with Jiang Nan Nan, and the location is in the Outer Courtyard. She can't enter and exit the Inner Courtyard as freely as I can. It will be troublesome for Senior Apprentice Sister to walk a bit more then," Shi Yu said.

"It's good to walk more," Zhang Lexuan didn't find this difficult.

"Senior Apprentice Sister, I have something to do later and might not be able to help you walk over," Ma Xiaotao said awkwardly.

"I don't really need someone to help me," Zhang Lexuan said.

"I can help Senior Apprentice Sister. Don't worry, I can help you without touching," Shi Yu said, demonstrating.

He raised his hand, manipulating Space power to form an energy hand that synchronized with his movements.

Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao both showed a hint of surprise. His control over Space power was quite outstanding.

After the meal, Ma Xiaotao left first, and Shi Yu helped Zhang Lexuan walk towards the Outer Courtyard.

There was no physical contact; he was using Space power to form a hand to help her, which felt more distant.

On the way, Shi Yu chatted casually with Zhang Lexuan, consciously trying to help her relax and prevent her from dwelling on this painful experience.
