I’m Eight. Surely I Can Establish A Sect, Right? - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Visit

After watching Widow Liu and Liu Qian leave, Ye Yan turned around and entered the house, coming to Liu Yi’s side.

“You’re awake?” Only then did he realize that

Liu Yi had already woken up. The latter was lying on the bed and staring straight at the ceiling, deep in thought.

Seeing Ye Yan, he struggled to get up, but his hand hadn’t healed yet, and his whole body was limp, so he couldn’t manage to get up.

Ye Yan hurriedly went forward to prop him up against the head of the bed, asking, ” “What’s wrong? Do you want to drink water or go to the toilet?”

Liu Yi licked his lips and looked at the porcelain bowl beside him. His voice was very hoarse as he said, “Water, I’m so thirsty…’

“Coming,” Ye Yan scooped half a bowl of water and handed it to him.

Liu Yi drank it all in one gulp, then exhaled deeply as if he had released some kind of

tension. His brows relaxed a lot.

“Brother Yan, how’s my mother and Xiao Qian?”

“Don’t worry!” Ye Yan patted his thigh lightly, “I’ve already taken action, so there are naturally no problems. I’ve settled it all! However…”

Halfway through, his tone dipped and he changed the topic, “That unscrupulous uncle of yours will most likely be a cripple for the rest of his life. How is it? Did I do the right thing?”

Liu Yi’s heart which had just sunk suddenly became excited again. He looked at Ye Yan with shining eyes, “Are you serious? Did you really

cripple that bastard?”

“Of course. Why would I lie to you?”

His words made Liu Yi feel much better. Since Ye Yan had helped him vent his anger, he felt that the pain in his body had subsided a lot.

“Good, brother, you’ve done well! You’ve really helped me vent my anger this time! Never mind anything else, I’ll let you taste my cooking some other day. I’m telling you when I was young, I learned a set of bamboo rat roasting techniques from my father. When the time comes…” Liu Yi was in a good mood as he chattered on with Ye Yan.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside, followed by several familiar voices.

“Brother Scar, we’re here to see you!”

“Be quiet. Since he’s so badly injured, he might

still be sleeping. To think you made such a big fuss the moment you arrived, you’re quite noisy.”

“His luck is quite bad. Fortunately, I brought some bones. I’ll boil some soup for him later.” They were Chen Geng, Zhang You, and Hong En. The news in the village spread fast, so the three of them had long learned that their good friend had encountered misfortune and had

thus rushed over.

Looking at the broken door, the three of them

walked in without saying a word. Then they turned to Liu Yi’s room and saw Liu Yi and Ye

Yan.

“Eh, Brother Yan?” Seeing Ye Yan, Zhang You was stunned for a moment before exclaiming. Chen Geng stepped forward with a face full of resentment, “Brother Yan, you didn’t even tell us anything about Brother Scar’s incident and came running over yourself.”

Ye Yan smiled, “It was just a coincidence. I came out for a walk after dinner last night. I didn’t expect to happen to see the incident.” “You must be joking!” Hong en, who had been silent all this while, spoke up with a face full of disbelief, “Brother Yan, it’s not fair to bluff us like this. Who would take a walk on a rainy day? Besides, would you even stroll all the way to Brother Scar’s house?”

Among the people present, Ye Yan’s family was the furthest away from Liu Yi’s home since it was located in the north of Dumen Village, while Liu Yi’s family was in the south. Who would believe that he had taken a stroll and arrived here?

Ye Yan was stumped by Hong En’s words. He didn’t speak for a long time. He came out because of the system, but he couldn’t expose the existence of the system. What could he do?

Looking at his group of friends who were jabbing at each other happily, Liu Yi smiled while half propped up in bed, “It’s all thanks to

Brother Yan. If he didn’t come in time, who knows what would have happened to our

family!”

This sentence immediately piqued everyone’s curiosity, and all of them asked what had

happened last night.

Even though the “intelligence department” in the village had been spreading the news since the wee hours, it was inevitable that the news would change in the middle of the media transmission. Judging from the Liu family’s door and Ye Yan’s presence, the situation hadn’t been simple. Chen Geng and the others only heard that Eldest Uncle Liu had been made a fool, but they had no information on who did

it.

“Last night, after I came down from the mountain, I felt that something was going to happen. When I got home, I saw something

that made me angry…” Liu Yi sighed and began

to tell them what happened when he was unconscious. He took off his clothes and showed them his wound.

“Hiss… Your injuries are so serious!” When they saw the bruises on Liu Yi’s body and

the swelling on his shoulder, they were all

furious.

“He’s too inhumane. Is he even your eldest uncle? How can he be so ruthless?!”

“Scumbag! He’s really a scumbag!”

I heard that Brother Scar’s eldest uncle usually

doesn’t even help out when something is going on. But once there’s something good, he’ll come and take a share. He’s really greedy and a

beast!

The few of them conversed for a while, but Liu Yi’s behavior was a little abnormal. He would look outside the door from time to time. “That’s not right. Usually, when you guys

come, my mother will come out and greet you. Why is there no movement today?” Liu Yi looked at Ye Yan, “Did my mother go out?”

“Oh, right. I forgot to tell you,” Ye Yan was so focused on chatting that he almost forgot about this, “Sister Qian got sick last night. She started to have a fever this morning, so Aunt Liu took her to the doctor in town.”

Go to the town to see a doctor? It seemed to be

quite troublesome. Liu Yi knew that the family did not have much savings. Never mind

whether the money they had was enough to cure his sister’s illness, he did not even know if it was enough to pay the doctor’s fees.

At this time, Zhang You asked, “Brother Scar, with your injured body, can you still follow us up the mountain to cultivate?”

Er Dan’s words pulled Liu Yi back to reality, and he quickly nodded, “Of course. My hand is

injured, but my feet are not. I might even be able to run faster than you!”

Liu Yi could feel that perhaps it was because he

had already broken through to the Qi-forging Realm, but his injuries were healing rapidly. He was so seriously injured yesterday, but he could already get out of bed now. Other than the throbbing pain in his shoulder, he didn’t seem to feel any pain in other places. The current Liu Yi was more and more eager to cultivate because he had many things on his mind. After last night’s incident, his goal was no longer simple. He no longer cultivated for fun. He wanted to become stronger to protect his mother and sister.

He had to be stronger! If he was as strong as

Brother Yan back then, he wouldn’t have been defeated by that animal!

Everyone packed up and set off to the mountain.

“Chacha!” Soft footsteps could be heard, and a

white-furred little fox came out and rubbed

against their feet.

“Xiao Bai!” Everyone was overjoyed. They

quickly took out the dry food they had brought from home and gave it to Xiao Bai. Since they had gone to visit Liu Yi, the sky was now all bright. Liu Kan and Ye Wen were already cultivating inside. They clearly knew

what had happened and were looking at Liu Yi’s hands worriedly. Then, everyone started to cultivate immediately. As the sect master, Ye Yan slacked off instead and ran to the spiritual farmland.
