A disciple beside them said quietly, "Um... Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Wang isn't dead. Junior Brother Ren brought him back!"
"What?" Senior Brother Xu could not believe it. "How is that possible? I've seen that sort of complexion before. Death was certain."
"If you don't believe it, see for yourself."
Senior Brother Xu pushed through the crowd and saw Senior Brother Wang leaning against the side of the carriage canopy. Senior Brother Wang had basically returned to normal, save for his pale face and dry lips. Senior Brother Xu walked to the carriage in disbelief, carefully examined Senior Brother Wang's eyes, then smelled his breath. Astonished, he asked, "Junior Brother Wang... is there anywhere else that feels unwell?"
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Xu. I just feel weak, and my leg still hurts somewhat. Other than that, there's nothing."
"Oh, that's good. Then rest well in the carriage. The day after tomorrow, we'll reach Qi Hua Forest. If your body still hasn't recovered, don't overexert yourself. I'll report your situation to Deputy Hall Master Xu and hope that his venerable self will show mercy."
"Then thank you, Senior Brother. Please put in a good word for me."
Senior Brother Xu immediately turned and asked, "Junior Brother Ren, what happened here? What... what did you do?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled. "I didn't do anything. I merely gave Senior Brother Wang another Detoxification Pill."
"Huh? A Detoxification Pill? Could you let me take a look?"
"My apologies, Senior Brother Xu," Zhang Xiaohua refused without ceremony. "I won that in a wager. There was only one pill, and Senior Brother Wang has already taken it. I have no more on me."
"You..." Senior Brother Xu flew into a rage. He had practically decided that Zhang Xiaohua was deliberately refusing to cooperate.
