Cheng Sheng looked unfazed under the gazes of Zheng Fu Gong, Pai Lie, Su Yuan, Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Zheng Yi and Jing Kang as they watched him took out a vial. He already told Pai Lie to erect a barrier sealing him and Jing Rui. He, regrettably, can't do it anymore.
"How about you?" Pai Lie asked.
"I already developed immunity towards the smell after tolerating it for a long time." Cheng Sheng answered.
Hearing this, they don't know whether to feel happy since they don't have to tolerate the smell or to feel envious since they can't resist this smell in case they would be attacked by the smell in the future.
Cheng Sheng, after seeing the barrier enclosed him and Jing Rui, opened the vial. As he has said earlier, he is already immune to the smell so his expression didn't change. He placed the mouth of the vial to Jing Rui's nose to make him smell it, and then waited.
Jing Cheng, Jing Bai and Jing Kang felt anxious as they closely watched. After an incense stick of time passed, Cheng Sheng took out another vial. They thought that he would still place the other vial near Jing Rui. But, this time, it is different.
"Bai Tan." Cheng Sheng called the Shapeshifting Blanket.
The Shapeshifting Blanket slipped out of Cheng Sheng's sleeve and immediately held the two vials. Cheng Sheng took a deep breath and removed his hat, revealing his long, silky hair as white as the snow. Seeing this, everyone knows that things are more serious.
Cheng Sheng raised his two fingers, placed it on his lips and closed his eyes before he uttered a spell. Then, they saw that the contents of one of the vials decreased. It was a second later that they realized that it turned into a mist and swirled around Cheng Sheng's fingers. Then, Cheng Sheng opened his eyes and placed his fingers in front of Jing Rui's face. There, they saw the mist slipped inside Jing Rui's nose and then disappeared.
They didn't expect that while Cheng Sheng is waiting for the changes in Jing Rui, he will speak. Though, it is not as if it is forbidden to speak while curing someone… Cheng Sheng is just peculiar, especially as a doctor. But, no one can deny that he has the best skills. Some even think that he can revive the dead.
Though, if he could, he would've already have Fei Yin back by his side…
While their thoughts flew inside their head, they heard his voice spoke. "Sect leader Jing's condition is more serious than I thought." He spoke. "Fortunately, we moved earlier than we expected." He said.
"Why?" Jing Cheng asked.
"You should know that Wu Ran's power is very strong that it was frightening. Added to the fact that he bore the brunt of Wu Ran's attack while Wu Ran was agitated… emotions greatly affect our power, so that attack of Wu Ran's was more powerful than it should." Cheng Sheng explained. "If I haven't used the cure, I wouldn't find out that sect leader Jing's condition is harder to solve than I imagined." He said.
Everyone saw that a light appeared underneath Jing Rui's skin and went to his head.
"The permeating smell isn't enough, so I had to bring it inside his body and direct it to his head." Cheng Sheng added.
As soon as his voice fell, they saw that Jing Rui's brows slightly moved. Then, his finger jerked.
Their eyes widened in shock as Jing Cheng's heart skipped a beat. "Uncle!" he cried.
But, suddenly, they saw Cheng Sheng hit an acupoint in Jing Rui's body using his other hand. Jing Rui's fingers that started to move stopped.
Their jaws dropped. "Cheng Sheng! What are you doing?!" Jing Bai asked as he abruptly rose from his seat. Meanwhile, Jing Cheng froze in shock.
"Calm down!" Jing Kang pulled Jing Bai down. He knows that Cheng Sheng must have a reason.
As expected, Jing Bai immediately calmed down after he saw that Jing Rui's eyes beneath his eyelids moved. "S – sorry…" he apologized. He was agitated earlier.
Jing Cheng sighed in relief. "Uncle…" he called as his eyes reddened.
Cheng Sheng naturally understood their actions. "Sect leader Jing's nerves are agitated due to the cure. Although it is good that he immediately could able to react, but it isn't enough." He spoke. "His whole body should move, otherwise all the cure will only be concentrated in his hand or eyes if I won't suppress him right now." He explained. He is redirecting the cure inside Jing Rui's body.
All of them immediately calmed down. They watched as a qiankun pouch came out of Cheng Sheng's sleeve since both his hands are currently in use.
Bai Tan immediately caught the qiankun pouch and took out more vials. Cheng Sheng closed his eyes and uttered a spell. Then, they watched as all the contents of the vials turned into mist and entered Jing Rui's nose, turned into light underneath his skin and wandered around his body!
"Ngh!" Cheng Sheng grunted as he hit all the acupoints in Jing Rui's body while he continued uttering spell.
"Cheng Sheng…?" they called when they saw that a layer of sweat formed in Cheng Sheng's forehead and his face looked pale. Their eyes widened when they realized it and they looked at the lights scattered in Jing Rui's body. "Cheng Sheng!" they cried in alarm.
They now realized… for Cheng Sheng to control those lights and scatter in Jing Rui's body in order for Jing Rui to be able to move normally after he wakes up, Cheng Sheng has to use more spiritual power than he should, since Jing Rui's condition is worse than they all expected.
They all waited with bated breaths as the lights continued to move around Jing Rui's body before they all gathered in his head and suddenly disappeared. And as soon as they disappeared, they heard a thud.
Cheng Sheng collapsed and fainted! "CHENG SHENG!" They cried in alarm. Pai Lie immediately removed the barrier and they all gathered around him except Jing Cheng who went to check on Jing Rui.
"Let me see him." Su Yuan spoke. They immediately parted while Bai Tan lifted Cheng Sheng for Su Yuan to check.
"Uncle?" Jing Cheng called as he patted Jing Rui's cheek to wake him up. "Uncle!" he exclaimed when he saw Jing Rui's eyes slowly opened.
Jing Bai and Jing Kang sharply turned, shock. Then, they saw Jing Rui is really awake. "UNCLE!" they called.
Suddenly, the door opened. "Uncle! How is uncle?!" it was Jing Hei, and Qian Lin is standing behind him.
"What happened to Cheng Sheng?!" Qian Lin asked as he and Jing Hei entered. He went to Cheng Sheng while Jing Hei went to Jing Rui.
Everyone sighed in relief when they saw the color in Cheng Sheng's face has returned. "Fatigue." Su Yuan spoke.
Hearing what he said, they all suddenly felt guilty. Cheng Sheng has to work nonstop for one month and then exhaust himself today to wake Jing Rui.
"Uncle?" Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Jing Kang called when they saw that Jing Rui didn't answer.
"… he still can't speak." They heard Cheng Sheng spoke.
They all turned and saw him wiped his lips. Bai Tan closed the bottle of magic pills and placed the cup of water back on the tray.
Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Jing Kang looked at him. "What you mean is…?" they asked.
"He has been sleeping for five years and haven't used his voice." Cheng Sheng spoke. "Although he knows how to speak, but he still has to exercise his vocal chords again for him to be able to speak." He explained and looked at Jing Rui. "Though, he should be able to make some sounds right now." He added.
Jing Rui looked at Cheng Sheng and nodded. Cheng Sheng nodded back and was about to stand when Qian Lin, Zheng Fu Gong and the others helped him up.
"… I'm not an invalid…" Cheng Sheng said and helplessly sighed. "But, thanks." He told them as he fixed his clothes, only to wrinkle them again. "…" the heck. Why am I still unable to flatten them? He thought as his face darkened.
"Shizun!" they heard a voice called.
They all turned and saw Fei Yinzi together with Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Ling, Sun Rong and Qie Shi.
"Oh! Sect leader Jing is finally awake! That's a good news!" Sun Rong smiled when they saw Jing Cheng helping Jing Rui stand.
"We know that you just came here to collect our payment." Jing Bai sighed as he crossed his hands.
Everyone laughed.
"Shizun. Let me fix it for you!" Fei Yinzi spoke when he saw that Cheng Sheng's sleeve was wrinkled. He immediately went and fixed it.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, and then remembered that time during the Intersect Competition when Fei Yin was attending to Cheng Sheng.
