The Scum Is A ***

Millennium Ship. 

"Brother?!" Qian Lin exclaimed in surprise when he saw Qian Tian arrived along with Jing Bai and Feng Mo. Fei Lin was carrying the unconscious Xi Ling. They all looked battered. 

Qian Tian sighed in relief when he saw his younger brother is alright. "We're all fine. Aside from elder Fei and elder Xi who were exhausted…" he said and looked at Jing Bai and Feng Mo who suddenly collapsed on the floor of the Millennium Ship. 

"Feng-shixiong!!!" Lei Ling, who went to check Lei Qing and You Rou, returned and saw Feng Mo and Jing Bai collapsed. His face paled and he immediately ran to check Feng Mo's and Jing Bai's pulse. Then, he turned to Qian Lin. "Second young master Qian, please call my jie and you-shimei!" he said. 

Qian Lin nodded and immediately ran inside. Qian Tian smiled before he also collapsed when Qian Lin left. He was also exhausted. 

"Sect leader Qian…?" Lei Ling called. 

"I'm alright. Just my internal injuries causing trouble… ugh…" Qian Tian grunted when he felt his abdomen became wet. He looked down and saw his robe was stained with red. His wound reopened. 

"Sect leader Qian!" Lei Ling exclaimed in fright. 

"Your wounds reopened?!" it was You Rou who arrived with Lei Qing and Qian Lin. She almost dropped the tray she's holding. Fortunately, Qian Lin caught it. 

"You-shimei! Please check Feng-shixiong and second young master Jing!" Lei Ling said. 

Lei Ling's voice made You Rou return to her senses. She immediately ran to check Jing Bai's and Feng Mo's pulse. Although they are cultivators, but they only know the basics. Lei Ling only checked temporarily. But, like Cheng Sheng, You Rou is a thorough doctor. 

"They're fine. They just overdosed themselves from the medicines to force their strength to increase in a short amount of time. They are just experiencing the backlash, but it won't affect their cultivation and only their body will be harmed." You Rou explained. "They will be in a coma for nearly five days. Bring them inside to rest. Don't disturb them." She said. 

They all breathed a sigh of relief. Lei Qing and Qian Lin carried a person each over their shoulder and brought them to the cabin. 

"Can you please check Xi Ling?" Fei Lin asked as he adjusted Xi Ling in his arms. 

"Yes!" You Rou answered and immediately went to check Xi Ling's pulse. 

Qian Tian saw You Rou went to check Xi Ling, so he turned to Lei Ling who became free after Lei Qing and Qian Lin carried Jing Bai and Feng Mo away. "Hey. Can you hand me the bandages and powdered medicines?" he asked. "I'll dress my wounds myself." He told him. 

Lei Ling's face reddened in shame. He fails in dressing the wounds, and so he can only follow Qian Tian's instruction. 

"Let me. Wait for me to finish." You Rou spoke as her fingers pressed on Xi Ling's wrist. 

Qian Tian and Lei Ling looked at her. They didn't speak, but they didn't move again. 

"Elder Xi exhausted his qi." You Rou said as she felt Xi Ling's veins pulsing under his skin. "You've replenished his qi, but fortunately, you didn't overdo it." She said. 

"What will happen if I did?" Fei Lin nervously asked. 

"Elder Xi drained his qi very fast. His meridians need to adapt to the loss of his qi. Naturally, they also need to adapt to the qi that replenished the lost qi." You Rou said. "Fortunately, your qi is similar and also familiar to elder Xi's qi, so his meridians didn't reject your qi. It also shows he unconditionally trusts you, so his meridians easily accepted your qi. But, if you overdid it, his meridians would have been broken." She explained. 

Fei Lin's face reddened when You Rou mentioned about Xi Ling's meridians being familiar with his qi. The two of them being cultivation partners isn't a secret. But, his face immediately paled when You Rou said Xi Ling's meridians almost broke. Fortunately, he was exhausted and his qi depleted. Or else, he really would have almost killed Xi Ling… 

He immediately hugged Xi Ling. He excused themselves to the others before he carried Xi Ling back to their room. Finally, only Qian Tian, Lei Ling and You Rou are left. 

You Rou turned to Qian Tian before she frowned. She reached her hand out, indicating for them to give her the bandages and the medicine. Qian Tian obediently gave them to her. "Open your clothes." She told Qian Tian. 

Lei Ling's face immediately flushed. "You-shimei…" he called. "You are familiar with sect leader Qian?" he asked. 

Qian Tian didn't answer since it wasn't him being asked, and that he is conserving his strength. 

"How can I not?" You Rou asked. "He is a patient." She answered. 

"But…" Lei Ling felt there's something wrong. 

"Lei-shixiong, can I ask you to fetch some water? I have to clean sect leader Qian's wound." You Rou said. 

"Oh! Okay!" Lei Ling answered and immediately left. 

As soon as Lei Ling left, Qian Tian laughed. "Your fifth shixiong is so gullible." He told You Rou. 

"Sect leader Qian, please stay still." You Rou said, her voice cold. 

Qian Tian looked at her. "Are you still mad I stole some of your medicines?" he asked. 

You Rou didn't answer. 

"I am a respectable person. I was formerly an elder of my sect, but because tragedy befell my sect, I was forced to inherit my father's position." Qian Tian said. "But, regardless of my position, I am an upright person. Even if I am losing a limb or two, I would still fight." He explained. 

You Rou didn't speak and took out a bamboo tube from her qiankun sleeve before she opened it and poured the water on Qian Tian's wound on his abdomen, cleaning it. "I'm not mad that you stole the medicines. You only want to hasten your recovery." She said as she bandaged Qian Tian's wound. "What I am mad about is because you don't trust me." She told him. 

Qian Tian looked at her. 

You Rou tied the bandage before she raised her head and looked at Qian Tian. "I am Cheng-shixiong's apprentice, and I am diligent in my studies. I engrave in my heart everything Cheng-shixiong taught me, so I can clearly see my patients' condition, and foresee what will happen to them if they would aggravate their wounds." She said. "I repeatedly told you that. I don't require you to admire my skills or ask request for you to respect me. I only ask for you to trust my skills." She explained. "Yet, you didn't. Not only did you not trust me, but you even stole my medicines. You lied to everyone and went to the battle with your internal injuries not fully healed. If you have died, then that's fine. It's your own fault. However, what if the others entrusted themselves to you for you to protect them, but you failed them after you aggravate your wounds and collapsed? You could have endangered everyone!" her voice raised after she vented her frustrations. 

Qian Lin, Lei Qing and Lei Qing returned and heard what she said. They all stared at her, dumbstruck. Then, they looked at Qian Tian whose head is lowered. Remorse could be seen on his face. 

"I don't care about your pride. All I ask is for you to use it at the right place and on the right time!" You Rou continued, completely oblivious of the three pairs of eyes watching them. "I've never had a patient as obstinate as you. Well, I am obstinate, too!" she said as she lifted her chin. Her attitude as the young lady of a wealthy family can be seen. "If you do this again, then don't come back to make me treat you. You treat yourself! You're on your own!" she told him before she marched back to the cabin. 

Qian Lin, Lei Qing and Lei Ling who hid looked at each other. 

"Come out." Qian Tian called. He has noticed them as soon as they returned. 

"Brother…" Qian Lin called. Lei Qing and Lei Ling followed behind him. 

"I'm fine. She has already treated my wound." Qian Tian said, then paused. He wore a helpless expression on his face. "Was she always like that?" he asked as he looked at Lei Qing and Lei Ling. 

Lei Qing and Lei Ling looked at each other. "No." Lei Qing answered. "In fact, our shimei is a restrained young lady. Although she came from a wealthy family and could have lived the rest of her life freely under her parents' wings, or marry a wealthy young man and become a housewife, but she chose to become a cultivator." She said. "She is a humble young woman." She told him. 

Qian Tian understood. Actually, he could also see that You Rou, although pampered, but she is modest. She never complained even though their journey is long and rough. She also didn't cower every time they were attacked. Although she didn't fight, but she never showed fear nor panicked.
