Outside, a thorough investigation for traitors was underway, but that did not affect Xie Qiqi. After dressing Guan Yaoyao’s wounds, she was requested by Zheng Shi to attend to Xi Hao.
Xi Hao’s condition was dire. With multiple wounds and significant blood loss, he had already fallen into a coma. Valley Master Moqi had used silver needles to stem the bleeding, but his state remained precarious. His breathing was rapid, and it felt as if his life were slipping away bit by bit.
Xie Qiqi performed an examination. Zheng Shi had already sutured the wounds using the technique she had taught him; there was nothing more to be done for the external injuries. She checked Xi Hao’s pulse and had Jiang Xing dissolve two of her specially crafted blood-replenishing pills for him to swallow. She then applied acupuncture, stimulating specific points to help regulate his Qi and blood, which eased his labored breathing.
