Chapter 1303 Ying Baiwu’s Background

On the night of the eighth day, Sun Mo had finished his lesson and was planning to ask Gu Xiuxun for dinner before finding a remote place to have a blast. But in the end, Lu Zhiruo rushed here anxiously to tell him that her junior martial sister Baiwu was going to die soon.

“What’s going on?” Sun Mo asked while rushing toward the medical treatment room of the Skyraise Academy

“I…I have no idea. When we were hunting a jade-eye devil dragon, junior sister Baiwu suddenly started bleeding from her seven apertures, and her entire body became swollen. She is about to die.”

The papaya girl’s eyes were red as she sobbed.

After Sun Mo’s daily life became stable, Lu Zhiruo and Ying Baiwu went to the teleportation gate in the city and headed to the Darkness Continent to train themselves.

To increase their strength, they were not satisfied to train in the lower levels. Hence, they chose to enter the fourth level this time around. Upon entry, Ying Baiwu immediately felt unwell, but because she wanted to appear strong, she forcefully endured it and didn’t say anything. And as time passed, her body grew weaker and weaker to the point where she finally couldn’t endure anymore.

“Who asked you guys to head to the fourth level?”

Sun Mo scolded.

Ying Baiwu’s body had a problem that Sun Mo hadn’t figured out up until now. She was very healthy in the Nine Provinces, but the moment she went to the Darkness Continent, she would immediately have all sorts of unwell symptoms.

In the lower levels, she would at most have swollen body parts, dizziness, and urges to vomit. But as the levels grew higher, her condition would become increasingly serious to the point where her life was in danger.

“Wuwuwu!”

Lu Zhiruo wiped her tears, not daring to look at Sun Mo.

Ying Baiwu felt that Sun Mo’s current situation wasn’t too good because she thought there might come a day where a battle would erupt between him and An Zaiyi to seize the authority of the Central Province Academy. Since that was the case, she was impatient to increase her strength, and tempering herself in the higher levels of the Darkness Continent was undoubtedly the best choice.

“Fool!”

After hearing the papaya girl’s explanation, Sun Mo felt heartache and also helplessness. When Sun Mo rushed to the treatment room, three doctors were already diagnosing Ying Baiwu, and more of them were rushing over. This was Sun Mo’s personal student. As long as they could cure her, Sun Mo would owe them a huge favor.

Everyone in the Nine Provinces knew that Sun Mo was extremely protective of his students. For the sake of them, he would even dare to go against a secondary saint.

“Teacher Kang, Teacher Zhou, and Teacher Wu, how are things?”.

Sun Mo rushed to the sickbed and asked.

“Very dire!”

Teacher Wu frowned. “There’s an immense power in her body that’s wantonly destroying her from inside out. We want to guide it out but are unable to do so.”

“Sun Mo, did you let her consume some heavenly ingredients or earthly treasure?”

Teacher Lian asked.

“No!”

Sun Mo shook his head as he looked at the unconscious Ying Baiwu. His eyes turned red and he almost cried.

The current iron-headed girl was so swollen that she no longer resembled a human. Also, her body was covered in green-purplish bruises. Evidently, she was suffering from hyperemia.

Her eyes, mouth, nose, and ears were all spurting blood.

“I’m begging you guys to cure her. I’m willing to pay any price!”

Sun Mo’s medical skills could surely be compared to ordinary doctors, but he was definitely inferior to these major characters of the Skyraise Academy.

“Teacher Sun, you don’t have to be so polite. Even if she were an ordinary person whose identity is unknown, we would still do our best to save her.”

After realizing that the seven to eight methods he tried were useless, Teacher Lian took out valuable life-extending medicine.

The priority was to ensure her life could be retained.

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight, but it still showed ‘Unknown Target’. This made him so angry that he wanted to curse at the system.

“System, are you dead?”

Sun Mo roared a few times in his heart, but the system didn’t reply.

Since that was useless, Sun Mo could only use his ancient massaging technique to help Ying Baiwu.

Meanwhile, more and more doctors came, and two of them were even medical sages. They gathered together to treat Ying Baiwu. “Teacher Sun, you don’t have to be anxious!”

Ji Shiwen also rushed here once he heard the news. After consoling Sun Mo for a while, he went toward the bed. But right after he took a glance at Ying Baiwu, his body suddenly shuddered.

This condition…

“All of you, get out!”

Ji Shiwen pushed the doctors away and walked to Ying Baiwu’s side to inspect her body. After that, his expression turned uncontrollably agitated.

Swish

Everyone turned their gazes over.

The headmaster’s expression seemed a little off.

“Move!” Ji Shiwen urged.

“Headmaster!”

The doctors were unwilling. Firstly, such symptoms were rare, so they wanted to see what sort of sickness caused it so they could learn new knowledge. Secondly, if they went out now, how could they make Sun Mo owe them a favor?

“Sun Mo, stay behind. The others are to get out right now!”

Ji Shiwen didn’t have any mood to care about them and directly activated the power of a saint’s speech.

Rumble~

An invisible energy instantly enveloped the room, and everyone present swiftly walked out of the room as their bodies were no longer in their control.

“Saint, do you have a solution?”

Sun Mo was filled with hope as he looked at Ji Shiwen.

“Tell me about her origins first.”

Ji Shiwen counter-asked, while his fingers rapidly patted Ying Baiwu’s body over a hundred times. After that, he vanished and reappeared ten seconds later. Right now, there was a metal box in his hand. He opened it up and Sun Mo could see numerous bottles packed within, including some instruments used for precise medical operations.

Although Sun Mo couldn’t understand Ji Shiwen’s train of thought, he still replied honestly.

“She is a child from a poor family!”

Sun Mo informed him of how he got acquainted with Ying Baiwu.

“Just that?”

Ji Shiwen frowned. He already knew this basic information from investigating Sun Mo. “What about others? For example, who are her real

parents?”

“Mn?”

Sun Mo didn’t understand why he was asking this. “Her father was a stepfather, and her mother was a tailor!”

Actually, Ying Baiwu’s mother had also worked as a prostitute. If she hadn’t made much money on some days, she would have to work as a prostitute for a few days.

Naturally, Sun Mo would protect Ying Baiwu’s face with regard to such a matter, so he wouldn’t tell Ji Shiwen about this. “Sun Mo, you should go out too!” Ji Shiwen hesitated for a while but still decided to make this suggestion. “Is there a need to?”

Sun Mo didn’t want to leave. This was the disciple he pitied the most.

“The next treatment process is extremely inhumane. I’m afraid you won’t be able to take it and will try to stop me halfway.” These words caused Sun Mo to be dumbfounded. After that, he fell silent.

Sun Mo wasn’t a fool. From Ji Shiwen’s words, he could hear many different meanings.

Earlier, medical sages were present among the doctors, but even they were helpless. Yet, Ji Shiwen only took a glance and already understood Ying Baiwu’s condition.

And now, Ji Shiwen also had the precise medical instruments for treating this. The most important thing was that Ji Shiwen didn’t conceal the fact that the treatment would be inhumane.

“Don’t worry. Even if I have to give up my life, I will do my best to save her!”

Ji Shiwen consoled Sun Mo. Tears could be seen glimmering in his eyes. “I will have to trouble you then!”

Sun Mo gave Ji Shiwen a deep bow before retreating out of the room. After that, he stood outside and stood guard for Ji Shiwen.

Next, it was a long wait.

A day.

Two days.

Five days passed.

Many people wanted to visit Sun Mo to express their concern, but they were all rejected by him. In addition, he had forcefully cordoned off this entire building.

As the vice headmaster, he had this authority.

Even if he didn’t have the authority, he had enough combat strength and trump cards to do this.

“What are they doing exactly?”.

Luo Yueman felt very curious as he stared in the direction of the treatment room.

During these few days, a vast amount of spirit qi continuously gathered there and would occasionally form spirit qi tides that would be channeled strongly into the room. This was a sign of a major experiment.

However, after considering Sun Mo’s influence, Luo Yueman gave up forcibly barging in. During the night, after he returned home and just when he wanted to investigate Sun Mo’s achievement, he discovered a person standing in his study.

…

Sun Mo sat on the ground with his back against the wall, hugging his head with his hands as a feeling of self-reproach and helplessness kept rising in his heart.

(Why didn’t I pay more attention to Baiwu’s body?)

Actually, this couldn’t be blamed on Sun Mo. Even with his ancient massaging technique, he wasn’t able to find any problems in Ying Baiwu. Hence, he would naturally relax his vigilance.

All of a sudden, the sound of another person breathing appeared beside him, and it sounded extremely weak and tired.

Sun Mo’s body stiffened. He knew that Ji Shiwen had come out, so he wanted to ask how Ying Baiwu was but was also afraid that he might hear some terrible news. “Don’t worry, she is no longer in danger.”

Ji Shiwen smiled.

Sun Mo finally heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that the dark clouds that had been pressing down on his head finally dispersed.

On the other hand, Ji Shiwen was very tired. He also had his back against the wall and slowly slid down into the ground. After that, he gazed at the ceiling and uttered four words!

“Sun Mo, thank you!”

Although it was said that men didn’t cry easily, Ji Shiwen was crying now. One must know that he wasn’t merely a man but he was also a saint. His emotional control shouldn’t be so weak.

However, Sun Mo tactfully didn’t ask for the reason.

“Are you willing to listen to a story of mine?” Ji Shiwen asked.

“I’ll listen respectfully!”

Sun Mo wanted to take a look at Ying Baiwu, but he knew that whatever Ji Shiwen was going to say might be very important. Hence, he bore with the impulse. “Others assume that I don’t have a wife or a kid. In truth, I once had a daughter.”

Ji Shiwen sank into his memories.

“Back then, I went on an adventure in the Darkness Continent with a bunch of like-minded friends. At that time, my wife was already pregnant and logically speaking, I ought to return to the Nine Provinces so she could give birth in peace. However, we have suffered for over twenty years and have already found that particular ruin. We were only a step away from finding the truth, so I was really unwilling! Therefore, we decided to continue staying there!

“On a day with heavy rain, my wife went into early labor, and only at that time did I know that we were in an area with radiation. When I carried that little life that died in my hands, I couldn’t accept it. I’ve contributed so much to this world, so why did the heavens want to take my child away?

“I went crazy. I ignored the persuasion of my comrades and used the secret treasure we found in that ruin along with some forbidden technique that I didn’t completely understand in an attempt to bring my daughter back to life.

“I succeeded. I made use of darkness technology to make my daughter return to life. However, differing views appeared in my great teacher circle.

“They felt that I was profaning life and that the revived baby was not my child. Instead, it was something that was seized by a dark will. They said if I raised her, it would surely be a huge calamity to the Nine Provinces.

“At that time, I refused to listen to any of their words. In the end, our quarrels escalated into fights and my wife got accidentally killed.” In truth, she wasn’t accidentally killed. She was killed by another female great teacher who was secretly in love with Ji Shiwen and had been jealous of his wife for a long time. Hence, she took the chance to finish Ji Shiwen’s wife off.

A chaotic battle then erupted.

Because Ji Shiwen had taken several tens of days to cast that forbidden technique, he was totally spent. He, who originally had the strongest combat strength, was now extremely weak and it was basically impossible for him to protect his daughter.

“Seeing that my daughter was about to be killed, heat rushed through my mind as I activated the mechanism in the ruin to start a huge collapse, burying everyone alive.”

Every time he recalled this, Ji Shiwen would feel self-blame and regret in his heart.

Back then when he saw his beloved wife dying in front of him, he lost all rationality. Originally, there should have been many ways to solve the problem, but he had chosen the bloodiest method in the end.

“That little life…”

Sun Mo glanced toward the treatment room.

“It’s highly possible that she’s your disciple.”

Ji Shiwen bitterly smiled. “Her condition is the same as the darkness ruin’s radiation effect. Also, the most important thing is that I found remnants of that secret treasure, as well as traces of the forbidden technique I cast back then.”

If Ying Baiwu lived in the Nine Provinces her entire life, she could lead a safe and peaceful life forever as an ordinary person. However, she had to go to the Darkness Continent and continuously cultivate as she was growing up, causing that darkness secret treasure in her heart to be damaged.

“How long ago did this happen?”

Sun Mo found it a little hard to accept. The timing was wrong!

“That’s right. The timing seems off, but you should know that there are many mysterious forces existing in the Darkness Continent. Everything is possible!”

Ji Shiwen was very agitated, and he reiterated again, “She is my daughter.”

Sun Mo kneaded his glabella; his mind was in chaos. How did Ying Baiwu survive and how did she appear in Jinling?

From the looks of things, Ji Shiwen also had no idea and had no plans to investigate that. Discovering his daughter was already the greatest joy in life to him.

“Sun Mo, what do you think of Baiwu?”

Ji Shiwen turned his head and looked at Sun Mo. “Strong, brave, fearless. Among my disciples, if you ask me whom I feel the most heartache about, it would be her!”

Sun Mo didn’t lie.

Ever since she was young, Ying Baiwu’s life had been filled with too much suffering. Even after she joined the Central Province Academy, she had never enjoyed the worry-free life of being a young student. Rather, she was struggling and working hard every day in cultivation.

Sun Mo knew that Ying Baiwu wasn’t doing this for her future. It was all to repay his kindness.

“I hope that in the future, she can live for herself. However, she refuses to listen.”

Sun Mo sighed.

“Because her future was given to her by you!”

Ji Shiwen knew that once, Sun Mo stood out against a vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy for Ying Baiwu’s sake.

Sun Mo then entered the treatment room and after taking a look at Ying Baiwu, he came out and chatted idly with Ji Shiwen all the way until dawn.

“Saint, why don’t you take a break?” Sun Mo suggested. Ji Shiwen was so tired that dark circles had appeared below his eyes. “No. I have to guard her. I cannot lose her

again.”

Ji Shiwen rejected.

Sun Mo didn’t press his request. With a saint here, Ying Baiwu’s life could be guaranteed.

In the morning, Lu Zhiruo and Qin Yaoguang sent breakfast over.

Sun Mo finally had the mood to eat something.

“Saint, eat something?”

Sun Mo passed a bun to Ji Shiwen.

“Mn!”

Ji Shiwen nodded. But after taking a bite of the bun, he suddenly frowned and lifted his head to look at the corridor.

At this moment, the members of the upper echelons in Luo Yueman’s faction came together, numbering above a hundred.

“Why does it feel that they are planning to denounce someone publicly for crimes?” Qin Yaoguang was puzzled.
