Chapter 22

After listening to Fei Hou's response, Huang Xiaolong finally understood the reason for Fei Hou's severe injuries, which were caused by his meridians being ruptured.

"Sit down, I will treat your injuries now," Huang Xiaolong said after a moment of contemplation. Although he was eager to learn more about the Asura Sect, Fei Hou's injuries were too severe, and the most important thing now was to stabilize his condition.

"Lord Sect Leader, my meridians have been ruptured," Fei Hou hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Once ruptured, meridians are generally impossible to repair, unless one can find some legendary holy medicines.

"Don't worry," Huang Xiaolong waved his hand and said, "I can reconnect your ruptured meridians, but it will take about half a year."

"Lord Sect Leader can reconnect my ruptured meridians!" Fei Hou was greatly surprised. He did not doubt Huang Xiaolong's words, but he found it hard to believe. Could Lord Sect Leader have some legendary holy medicines?

"Sit down now," Huang Xiaolong continued.

Although Fei Hou had doubts, he did not dare to disobey. After respectfully responding, he sat down as instructed. As soon as he sat down, Huang Xiaolong placed his palms on Fei Hou's back, and his internal energy flowed into Fei Hou's body. Immediately, Fei Hou felt warm currents flowing from his back. He quickly focused his mind and cooperated with Huang Xiaolong, guiding the warm currents to nourish his entire body.

More than an hour passed.

Huang Xiaolong withdrew his palms, his face slightly pale.

Although he had cultivated the Yi Jin Jing to the fourth level, his internal energy was still a bit weak. However, after more than an hour of internal energy input, Fei Hou could now guide the internal energy of the Yi Jin Jing to heal his injuries on his own.

After a while, Huang Xiaolong looked at Fei Hou, who was still sitting on the bed and cultivating, and then left the room, heading back to his own courtyard.

Seeing his son return with a tired look, Huang Peng felt curious. Wasn't his son supposed to be shopping with Li Lu?

"Xiaolong, are you okay?" Huang Peng asked.

Huang Xiaolong, seeing his father's concerned look, couldn't help but smile. "Father, I'm fine."

Huang Peng's expression relaxed. "Did Li Lu leave?"

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Suddenly, Huang Peng smiled, a bit oddly, and stared at Huang Xiaolong, teasingly saying, "Wasn't Li Lu's hand very soft? Did it feel good to be held by a beautiful girl?"

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback, then smiled bitterly. "Father, what are you talking about? There's really nothing between me and Li Lu."

Huang Peng laughed. "Alright, I know there's nothing between you and Li Lu, but there's something between her and you." He continued, smiling happily, "You didn't know, but when Li Lu held your hand and walked out, Huang Wei's expression was as bad as if he had eaten a mouthful of shit."

Huang Xiaolong shook his head and smiled.

"However, Xiaolong, be more cautious of Huang Wei in the future," Huang Peng's tone changed, his expression worried.

"I understand, Father. Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about. I'll go back to my room now," Huang Xiaolong said.

Huang Peng nodded. "Alright, go rest."

After returning to his room, Huang Xiaolong took out the cold jade bed from the Asura Ring, sat on it, and began cultivating the Asura Technique. After a night of cultivation, as the sky began to brighten, Huang Xiaolong stopped his cultivation. All his fatigue was gone, and he stretched his limbs, feeling more refreshed than ever.

Leaving his room, Huang Xiaolong went to the courtyard and headed to Fei Hou's room. As he arrived, he saw Fei Hou coming out of the room.

"Lord Sect Leader, you are invincible in the world!" Fei Hou, seeing Huang Xiaolong, quickly came forward and bowed respectfully. After last night's treatment, his respect for Huang Xiaolong had grown even more.

"You can stand up," Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Fei Hou then stood up respectfully.

"Fei Hou, in the future, call me Young Lord in front of others," Huang Xiaolong said after a moment of thought. "Also, don't call me 'invincible in the world' anymore."

The phrase "invincible in the world" sounded awkward to Huang Xiaolong. He knew it was set by Ren Wokang in the past.

Fei Hou hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Sect Leader, the phrase 'invincible in the world' was set by the old Lord Sect Leader. Is it appropriate to change it?"

Huang Xiaolong waved his hand and said, "I know it was set by my master, but rules are made by people. Now that I am the Lord Sect Leader, this rule will be abolished."

Master? Fei Hou had been puzzled about Huang Xiaolong's relationship with the old Lord Sect Leader, but now he finally understood. It made sense; who else but the old Lord Sect Leader's direct disciple could take over the Asura Sect?

Fei Hou respectfully said, "As you command, Lord Sect Leader!"

"How is your recovery?" Huang Xiaolong asked.

"Lord Sect Leader, my injuries have recovered about sixty to seventy percent. In three days, they should be fully recovered, but my meridians..." Fei Hou stopped.

"Don't worry about your meridians," Huang Xiaolong said. "Tell me about the current situation of the Asura Sect."

Fei Hou's face showed a hint of difficulty.

"What's wrong?" Huang Xiaolong frowned.

Fei Hou, seeing Huang Xiaolong's expression, knew he had been misunderstood and quickly replied, "Lord Sect Leader, it's not that I don't want to report, but I'm not very clear about it myself."

"Not very clear?" Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.

"Yes," Fei Hou nodded and explained. It turned out that Fei Hou had joined the Asura Sect only about twenty years ago and had never been to the Asura Sect's headquarters. Twenty years ago, he met his master, who took him as a disciple. Since his master was an elder of the Asura Sect, he joined the Asura Sect. His master never told him much about the Asura Sect.

His master's name was Yu Ming.

"However, my master said that after the old Lord Sect Leader disappeared fifty years ago, the Asura Sect split into two factions," Fei Hou said.

"Split into two factions!" Huang Xiaolong frowned. "Where is your master Yu Ming now?"

"Three years ago, I parted ways with my master and haven't seen him since. At that time, he said he was going to the capital of the Moho Kingdom to handle some matters," Fei Hou replied.

The Moho Kingdom? Huang Xiaolong knew about it, but it was far from the Luotong Kingdom where the Huang Family Manor was located. To travel from the Luotong Kingdom to the Moho Kingdom, one had to pass through more than a dozen kingdoms.

It seemed impossible to understand the detailed situation of the Asura Sect right now.

At this moment, Li Lu ran over from a distance. Seeing Huang Xiaolong, she smiled and said, "Xiaolong, I knew you would be here. Come on, the banquet is about to start. Let's go."

Huang Xiaolong, seeing Li Lu, felt a bit of a headache. He turned to Fei Hou and said, "Follow me."

"Yes, Young Lord!" Fei Hou said respectfully.

Although Li Lu was puzzled by Fei Hou calling Huang Xiaolong "Young Lord," she didn't think much of it. She ran to Huang Xiaolong, took his hand, and ran to the front hall, as if holding his hand had become one of her habits.

Huang Xiaolong tried to pull his hand back, but this time, the little girl held on tightly, and he couldn't pull it away. Huang Xiaolong could only let Li Lu pull him to the front hall. When they arrived, they met Huang Peng and the others coming from the small courtyard.

Seeing Li Lu holding Huang Xiaolong's hand, Huang Wei's expression was predictable. As for Huang Peng, he gave Huang Xiaolong a strange and ambiguous smile and secretly gave him a thumbs-up. Huang Xiaolong felt depressed seeing his father's gesture.

After entering the grand hall, everyone sat down. Huang Qide and the others naturally accompanied Li Mu at the main table. However, when they were about to sit down, Li Lu pulled Huang Xiaolong to sit next to her, while Fei Hou automatically stood behind Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Qide and the others also noticed Fei Hou standing behind Huang Xiaolong. Since Fei Hou called Huang Xiaolong "Young Lord," they assumed he was a new slave Huang Xiaolong had bought from the slave market during his shopping trip, so they didn't ask more.

"Fei Hou, you can sit over there," Huang Xiaolong, seeing Fei Hou standing behind him, pointed to an empty seat at another table. After all, Fei Hou was a tenth-level powerhouse, and it wasn't right for him to stand.

At this moment, Huang Wei's harsh voice rang out, "Sit? Huang Xiaolong, today is Elder Li's birthday banquet. Does a newly bought slave like you have the right to sit here?"

(Tomorrow is Monday, and I want to boost my ranking. I hope everyone can give a recommendation vote after reading the new chapter. Thank you.)
