Xie Yunhao woke up.
He didn't say a word after waking up.
He just lay quietly and listlessly on the bed.
Xie Feng walked over and asked with concern, "How are you? Can you speak?"
Xie Yunhao sighed softly.
He pointed to his stomach.
Xie Feng realized what was happening and hurriedly instructed Gu Yu, " Xiao Yu, quickly prepare some easily digestible food, your second uncle is hungry!"
"Okay!"
Gu Yu pulled Ren Yanyu along and hurriedly left.
Kong Qiusu stared at Xie Yunhao for a while, then quietly pulled Xie Feng aside. "Junior brother, he's just an ordinary person now. Having suffered so many years of imprisonment, he's truly suffered immense trauma, so it's understandable that he behaves strangely."
"I understand!" Xie Feng nodded. "Don't worry, he's my second uncle, who's related to me by blood. I'll definitely treat him well!"
"Moreover, his existence is extremely important," Kong Qiusu lowered his voice and said very seriously, "I heard many things in the Land of Chaos before, one of which was that Xie Yunhao was very close to your parents. He may know something about the reason for your parents' death, or perhaps he was a witness to it!"
Xie Feng's eyes widened suddenly.
He couldn't help but turn around and glance at Xie Yunhao!
If the senior brother's guess is correct, then this person is extremely important to him, both emotionally and logically!
Someone who very likely knows the cause of their parents' deaths!
No matter what illness he has or what inhuman torture he has suffered, as long as he is in the Jade Pivot Sect and before his eyes, Xie Feng will do everything in his power to save and protect him!
Soon, Gu Yu and Ren Yanyu arrived with two food boxes.
Kong Qiusu helped Xie Yunhao up and spent some time getting him to sit in a chair.
Gu Yu busied herself placing plates of food onto the table.
Lean pork congee, ginseng chicken soup, ham and scrambled eggs, braised shrimp, shiitake mushrooms and bok choy, stir-fried pea shoots, oranges... a table was piled high with food.
These are very easy to digest and provide nutrition for patients who are physically weak.
Xie Feng handed over the chopsticks.
Xie Yunhao shakily picked up the chopsticks, then lowered his head and devoured them in a whirlwind!
When he ate, he didn't look like a weak patient at all.
"Good appetite, that's great... it means you'll recover soon," Xie Feng exclaimed.
" The Demon-Suppressing Tower is under the jurisdiction of Xie Han, who is a harsh and cruel person. Because most of the people imprisoned in the tower are evil people, he rarely feeds the prisoners. After decades or hundreds of years, even people with cultivation could not withstand it, let alone some ordinary people with special status. Therefore, the terrible atmosphere of cannibalism often occurs in the tower."
" Xie Yunhao was locked in solitary confinement in a water dungeon, surrounded by no one. The appalling conditions he was in made survival even more difficult, and it was remarkable that he had managed to hold on until now..."
Upon hearing his words, a cold glint flashed in Xie Feng's eyes.
"It seems that Xie Han knew about my existence a long time ago, and he has targeted me time and time again. I don't know why, but he didn't come here in person. Instead, he secretly manipulated others to attack me."
"This kind of person keeps targeting me. I want to know why. It's all my fault. If I hadn't recognized Sister Ling, if I had been more indifferent back then, I wouldn't have brought her so much trouble. Sigh..."
He lowered his head and sighed.
Kong Qiusu comforted him, saying, "This is not something one can change, junior brother. Don't blame yourself."
Xie Feng said, "There's another problem. Xie Han is incredibly audacious. Since he could openly attack Xie Yunhao in the Land of Chaos, does that mean he's not afraid of Sister Ling at all, or even the Clan Head? If he truly has absolute power, then Sister Ling's situation is really not optimistic!"
Kong Qiusu a low voice, "If anything happens to Xie Ling, I will do everything in my power to save her!"
While the two were loudly plotting, Xie Yunhao was completely unaware, sitting at the table and eating heartily. He quickly devoured all the food on the table.
"I feel like he's a normal person, no, he has an even better appetite than a normal person, this guy is really..." Gu Yu smacked his lips, staring at the former's eating habits, he was really shocked.
"Didn't you hear what your uncle said before? He's been hungry for a long time. Eating this little bit of food is definitely no problem for him," Ren Yanyu said.
"Should we get him some more? I feel like he's not eating enough. Wait, Master said his cultivation was crippled; if he keeps eating like this, won't his stomach burst?"
"Although his cultivation has been crippled, he still possesses the Chaos Bloodline. Even without cultivation abilities, he's still stronger than the average person. He shouldn't be overwhelmed, right?"
"Okay, I'll go get some more food!"
Gu Yu spoke, she brought over a lot of food, which Xie Yunhao accepted without hesitation and ate it all.
After finishing his meal, he yawned and collapsed onto the bed.
"Is he really not faking it?" Gu Yu's lips twitched.
"Don't talk nonsense," Xie Feng said.
The Gu Yu jade piece flattens its mouth and remains silent.
Not long after Kong Qiusu rescued Xie Yunhao, Xie Xiang brought his men to the water dungeon.
He looked around and saw that the prison cell was completely calm.
Xie Yunhao was nowhere to be found.
Xie Xiang sneered, crossed his arms, and said disdainfully, "Hey, stop hiding, come out now, I need to talk to you!"
No one answered; the surroundings were deathly silent.
"Did you deliberately sink to the bottom of the water? Why didn't you just drown? Did you have to make me look for you?"
Xie Xiang spoke, he tilted his chin forward.
The soldiers behind him understood and immediately slipped into the water prison.
Splash!
The soldiers pulled a soaking wet person out of the water.
It was Xie Yunhao!
He closed his eyes, his body seemingly boneless, letting the soldiers hold him.
" Xie Yunhao, do you know why I'm looking for you today?" Xie Xiang asked condescendingly.
Xie Yunhao opened one eye, staring coldly at him without uttering a sound.
Is it just my imagination? This guy looks swollen from being soaked in water... Xie Xiang wondered to himself as he looked at the rather burly Xie Yunhao across from him.
The last time I saw Xie Yunhao, he was a skinny, long figure. Now, after several years, he has become quite muscular.
Xie Xiang suspected that Xie Yunhao, having spent so much time in the water dungeon, had become floated in a blubber!
He was disgusted by the former's half-dead appearance and didn't want to waste any more words, so he directly ordered the soldiers to take him out of the water dungeon.
The group left the Demon-Suppressing Tower and arrived at a nearby desolate mountain wilderness.
The soldier gave Xie Yunhao a hard shove, and Xie Yunhao staggered forward two steps.
Xie Xiang raised his hand, and dozens of the Immortal Cloud Army rushed forward and surrounded him!
Xie Yunhao remained listless throughout.
Seeing Immortal Cloud Army's movements, he yawned, then slowly lay down on the ground and closed his eyes.
Asleep!
