He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured

Chapter 105

Among the people who went to search, one of them was Huo Xiu’s trusted subordinate. He quietly shook his head at Huo Xiu, indicating that he had indeed not found Chu Yi in Xi Ning’s palace.

Since Chu Yi didn’t come back, Huo Xiu got up immediately. “Go to the surrounding palaces to search again. We must capture this devil.”

Before Huo Xiu left, he gave Xi Ning a cold-eyed stare. “If I knew this earlier, I wouldn’t have let Your Royal Highness take away those spirits and devil.”

Huo Xiu even dared to mention this. Xi Ning taunted him, “Now that General Huo mentioned it, it reminds me that both devils that had sneaked into the palace came from you……”

“Your Royal Highness, please mind your words,” Huo Xiu interrupted him. “I will report this matter to the Immortal Emperor, and I will search every single place for that devil.”

After Huo Xiu finished speaking, he took his subordinates and left. When the hall was completely quiet, Xi Ning leaned back on his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

From the conversation with Huo Xiu, Uncle Rong guessed that Chu Yi was the devil who injured and escaped, and he had indeed not seen Chu Yi today. He hesitated to say it to Xi Ning. “Your Royal Highness, Chu Yi he……”

Xi Ning was the one who brought Chu Yi back, and made Chu Yi stay by his side to serve him. It would be impossible for Xi Ning to not notice the strangeness of Chu Yi, but Uncle Rong served Xi Ning since he was still a child, he was Xi Ning’s most loyal subordinate so he didn’t doubt Xi Ning about it.

“It’s okay.” Xi Ning stood up holding the chair’s armrest and thought for a while. “Go and find out what happened last night.”

Uncle Rong stopped talking. He replied and left the hall.

Xi Ning walked to the bedroom alone and was still unable to stop worrying about Chu Yi. He asked the system, “Can you find out Chu Yi’s current situation?”

Chu Yi was injured. Xi Ning didn’t know whether his injuries were serious or not and where he was now. If he managed to get out of the Immortal Palace, could he return to the Devil Realm safely? Xi Ning was very scared when he thought of this. If he knew this earlier, he wouldn’t have let Chu Yi do such a risky thing.

The system said that there was nothing that he could do about it. “I looked up the name ‘Chu Yi’ before, but he never appeared in the original book. Without accurate information, it is difficult for me to acquire his current status and location.”

They didn’t have any tools that could communicate with Chu Yi. The only thing Xi Ning had was the magic weapon given to him by Chu Yi that he was currently wearing. He pulled out it from his shirt and pinched it in the palm of his hand. He stared blankly at the air while sitting on his bed.

The only thing that Xi Ning could do now was wait. If nothing happened to Chu Yi, he would definitely come back.

Xi Ning put up with the anxiety in his heart and comforted himself again. Uncle Rong came back very quickly after he went outside to collect the information about the incident.

“Your Royal Highness, there was not much information that I could get from others. I only know that the corpse of a devil was first found not far away from the West Hall,” Uncle Rong stood aside and spoke with a soft and low voice. “I even asked about the appearance of the devil’s corpse, but it seems that his face had been scratched a few times, which caused him to be unrecognizable. His soul has also disappeared, so there is no way to know who he is.”

This must have been done by Huo Xiu, in order to prevent people from discovering that it was the person who had been around him that was dead.

Xi Ning couldn’t find any concrete proof for the time being, but he could spread some rumors before Huo Xiu to at least make the Immortal Emperor suspicious of him.

So Xi Ning told Uncle Rong, “Go spread some rumors saying that someone seemed to have seen the devils fighting in Huo Xiu’s palace at night, and there was one devil who looked like the person that Huo Xiu had been bringing him around.”

Uncle Rong understood what Xi Ning meant and immediately left Xi Ning’s bedroom to spread the rumors.

When the rumors came out, Huo Xiu wouldn’t have time to deal with him for a while.

Han Ji was dead, but Xi Ning didn’t know whether Chu Yi was able to find Tian Wu Zhu or not. If the system’s estimation was correct, then everything was now developing in a good direction.

But Xi Ning still felt a little uneasy, and his illness felt especially obvious at this time. But Xi Ning could only endure it alone when Chu Yi was not around him.

Xi Ning took out the ointment and applied it to his dragon horns. He rubbed his tired eyes and then took a nap on the couch.

Xi Ning hadn’t slept at all last night and even now he couldn’t sleep well. He was awakened several times in the middle of the night and felt uncomfortable.

When he was half-asleep, he heard someone knocking on the door. Xi Ning thought it was Chu Yi who was back. He immediately crawled out of the couch. “Chu Yi?”

But it was another maid who pushed the door and came in with a bowl of herbal soup. “Your Royal Highness, Uncle Rong said that I will be serving you in the future.”

Xi Ning looked at her for a while, only to remember that she was also one of the spirits that he had brought back from Huo Xiu. He pinched his forehead. “Put it down and you can leave.”

The maid looked at Xi Ning with her peachy eyes and whispered in a low voice. “Your Royal Highness, do you have a headache? How about I help to massage it for you……”

This was also ordered by Uncle Rong. Xi Ning’s dragon horns had not yet completely grown, so he must have been feeling very uncomfortable recently. Uncle Rong was not able to find Chu Yi anywhere, so he arranged another person to serve Xi Ning.

“No need,” Xi Ning said stiffly, but then he felt that his tone was a bit too harsh. He took the herb soup and drank it. “I don’t need anyone to serve me.”

The maid bit her lower lip, she seemed unwilling to leave but she still picked up the bowl and left.

Xi Ning didn’t want to touch anyone except Chu Yi. He let the system teach him a few simple spells, and cast a barrier on his bedroom door to prevent anyone from coming in before he went back to sleep.
