Night Talk
"I've come here seeking medical treatment!"
Zhang Xuezhou and his group set off first, and Zhou Rihui followed closely behind.
However, Zhou Rihui could not arrange a special large flight just for him. Ren Anran and others boarded the night flight, while Zhou Rihui boarded the Airbus during the day.
Both sides made many detours on the road, and the time spent was similar.
The two met near the port of Huli.
"You actually came to Qin Meng seeking treatment?" Zhang Xuezhou scoffed. "Are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm a little impatient!"
Looking at the other four people in the tent, Zhou Rihui couldn't help but think that Zhang Xuezhou was even more impatient. Who else could run to the Qinmeng area so easily as Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou his group? Looking at their luggage, it was almost empty.
"You know I'm the kind of person who insists on finishing what I start," Zhou Rihui argued. "I don't want to stop halfway through my treatment."
"It's not that I deliberately didn't finish the treatment," Zhang Xuezhou said, spreading his hands. "You weren't cooperative during the treatment, so even if I wanted to speed things up, I couldn't!"
"I'm cooperating now, I'm fully cooperating," Zhou Rihui said. "I've made a firm decision to correct my mistakes."
Zhou Rihui felt incredibly unlucky; Zhang Xuezhou had run off without even informing him.
But he felt lucky, after all, he had finally found a doctor who could treat his injuries.
If possible, he would like to maintain a long-term friendly relationship with Zhang Xuezhou and others, after all, he is not immune to setbacks in his life.
This forced Zhou Rihui to change his attitude and maintain a good doctor-patient relationship.
He entered Zhang Xuezhou and the others' tent, and also directly asked for their help.
"But we're here to recruit people to the Tuer tribe," Ren Anran interjected. "There are ferocious insects ravaging that area; we can't afford to waste any time!"
"Is that news true?" Zhou Rihui asked in astonishment. "Some people in the circle said that the Thousand Islands Alliance hunted a ferocious beast again in Qinmeng, but failed to keep a close watch on it, and the beast escaped!"
"The information circulating in your circle is fake news," Zhang Xuezhou said. "That ferocious insect is from the Thousand Islands Alliance, not from Qin Meng's side."
"Even ferocious beasts would have been subdued long ago," Zhou Rihui said. "Which ferocious beast can sustain a fight on our human homeland? Isn't this like sending sheep into a wolf's den?"
"This ferocious insect is quite special; we might not be able to subdue it in a short time," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I originally wanted to invite your father to go over there to try the emetic, but a fireball has fallen here, so I'm afraid we won't be able to get him to come."
The only reason Zhang Xuezhou could control Zhou Xin was by testing the vomiting medicine; by not seeing Zhou Xin, he could prevent Zhou Xin from using his methods.
His only recourse at that moment was to seek help from Chim Hagrid.
Compared to Zhou Xin, who knew his background, Chimmon Hagrid was clearly not a good choice.
"I receive divine grace from the god Tu'er, and I also need to solve some problems for the Tu'er people," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Only by continuing to uphold this divine grace can I continue to provide medical care!"
With Ren Anran's intervention, Zhang Xuezhou quickly fabricated a new reason.
If possible, Zhang Xuezhou clearly hoped that Zhou Rihui could contact Zhou Xin.
The giant moths of the Thousand Islands Alliance possess extremely unique abilities. They are not ferocious beasts that cause destruction or go berserk and kill indiscriminately, but rather have the ability to lay eggs and hatch them, making them far more destructive than normal people can imagine.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that if the ferocious insect could be subdued a day earlier, it would be of great benefit.
That's why, after making all the preparations, they didn't hesitate and set off that very day.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that stopping to treat Zhou Rihui's illness would be quite difficult.
If it only required two spells, that would be fine. However, Zhou Rihui's injuries were deeply hidden, and his body had extremely high resistance to Technique Method, which would require a considerable amount of time to treat.
The key issue is that Zhou Rihui is difficult to cooperate with.
Despite Zhou Rihui's readily agreeing verbally, when he actually tried to insert the needle into the acupoints, the muscles would clench, making it difficult not only to remove Zhang Xuezhou's needle but also to allow the power of the Supreme Purity True Technique Method penetrate.
This is Zhou Rihui's physical instinct; even if the other party can overcome their fear, they cannot stop their instinct.
Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Qinmeng was not a good place to treat minor injuries. Just like he dared not inject R32 catalyst, once adverse symptoms appeared, it would be difficult to rest and recover.
He chose a reason that suited him and temporarily postponed the treatment process.
"Is this God Tu'er really that important?" Zhou Rihui asked incredulously, "You also believe in the Tu'er religion?"
"The more you believe, the greater the divine grace you receive," Zhang Xuezhou casually remarked. "If God Tu'er gave you such abilities, you'd definitely believe too!"
"That reason seems quite reasonable!"
If he could be blessed with healing magic to restore his body, Zhou Rihui felt that believing in it wouldn't be a bad thing, and he could understand doing something about it.
Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou was difficult to treat, Zhou Rihui was disappointed but did not continue to force him.
Ultimately, it was Zhang Xuezhou's extraordinary healing abilities that allowed him to finally find a good doctor after a long illness, and even made Zhou Rihui realize that his body was heading towards meeting the basic conditions of the Sixth Sequence.
Anyone would be excited by this, and it would be difficult for him to hold back like this, especially since the Zhou Household currently lacks a pillar to stabilize the Lineage.
"My father's whereabouts are currently unknown. Are you going to wait for him in Huli Port?"
Unable to find a doctor on Sunday, Zhou Hui had no choice but to inquire about Zhang Xuezhou and others' schedules.
"You can't get in touch with Committee Member Zhou either?" Ren Anran asked.
Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou had silenced Zhou Rihui with just a few words, and even made Zhou Rihui acknowledge the importance of cooperating with the Tuer clan, Ren Anran was somewhat disappointed, but Zhou Rihui's tone also revealed that it would be difficult to contact Zhou Xin.
"Qinmeng has no satellite coverage and lacks infrastructure, so no one can make effective communication in a place like this," Zhou Rihui said. "I definitely can't contact my father. If I want to find him, I can only wait."
"That's a real shame," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Now we can only invite Chimney Hagrid."
"You know that heartless old man too?" Zhou Rihui asked with interest. "Would he be willing to go with you to the Thousand Islands Alliance to deal with the ferocious beasts?"
"We'll have to try tomorrow and see if we can reach an agreement," Zhang Xuezhou said, shaking his head. "We have some terms for the exchange, but we're not sure if he's willing to cooperate!"
What are the conditions for the substitution?
The group discussed the matter inside the tent when a head couldn't help but peek in and ask a question, which startled everyone.
Not only Ren Anran and the others, but even Zhang Xuezhou, who prided himself on his exceptional perception, was caught off guard and was silently approached within two meters without being noticed.
If targeted by such an opponent, it's almost impossible to defend against.
With such an almost silent ability, it's no wonder that Chimmon Hagrid also runs a special service selling information.
