Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1035 - 1031: Deliberately Adding Injury to Injury
However, the most surprised person was Dragon Spirit.
Anyone who has interacted with Xuan Chu knows very well that he is a person with strong principles.
Unless it is something he believes in, otherwise, no matter how much you argue, he remains stubbornly adamant.
But now, this very person stood up for him just because he was attacked.
That’s right, Dragon Spirit was sure that Xuan Chu was standing up for him at this moment.
Even if there was a bit of play-acting involved, he knew clearly that the proportion of standing up for him was much larger.
A strange feeling was spreading through Dragon Spirit’s chest at this moment.
He was the mighty Dragon King, always the one to protect and stand up for others...
After the surprise, the corners of Dragon Spirit’s mouth gradually curled up into a smile.
In his heart, he couldn’t help but think, fine, in light of Xuan Chu being so considerate.
From now on, Xuan Chu’s name can be added to the list of people he trusts.
At this moment, Xuan Chu was unaware of Dragon Spirit’s extensive inner monologue, as his gaze shifted towards the people lying on the bed.
Yun Ran didn’t use lethal force at that time; logically, these people shouldn’t have been hurt so badly.
Xuan Chu’s hand touched the pulse of one of them.
As he expected, the injuries weren’t caused by Yun Ran.
He knew Yun Ran’s methods well — precise and accurate, injuring no more than necessary.
Besides, yesterday’s fight was just a show, at most resulting in surface wounds.
But now, the injuries on these people clearly stemmed from another aura, one that didn’t belong to Yun Ran.
Xuan Chu carefully examined the injuries and then his face displayed a mocking smile.
Heh~
These people knew that losing the copper mirror meant great responsibility, so they intentionally worsened their injuries.
When someone investigates, they’ll think the person who stole the mirror was incredibly powerful and ruthless.
Each of them had really come up with a cunning scheme.
This tactic was just like the elder who wanted to catch them off guard and kill them, then pin the crime on him and Dragon Spirit.
They say you reveal a lot through small things, and Xuan Chu could now probably judge what kind of people these Xuan Master Association members were.
The president carefully glanced at the elder, who looked somewhat grim, watching him wipe blood from the corner of his mouth without lashing out.
Instead, he stood quietly aside, watching Xuan Chu examine the injuries of those lying on the bed.
Then, the president’s gaze followed the elder’s line of sight, landing on Xuan Chu.
Clearly, Xuan Chu hadn’t said a word, but everyone present could feel that Xuan Chu’s aura was far from calm at that moment.
It seemed like the precursor to a storm about to descend.
The president and the other local dark masters felt their hearts rise to their throats.
Afraid that Mr. Xuan might not be able to suppress his anger over previous events.
Especially considering Mr. Xuan’s formidable skills, none of them would likely be a match for him.
The elder spoke then, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"What? Are these little injuries too difficult for you?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Xuan Chu ignored the elder’s sarcasm and directly took out the silver needles from his belongings.
If these injuries really had been caused by Yun Ran, he might still have been willing to spare some Healing Medicine.
But now, knowing these people intentionally worsened their injuries.
It was all to lessen their responsibility and blame Yun Ran entirely.
Xuan Chu suddenly didn’t want these people to have it easy.
Since he decides how the injuries are treated anyway.
Regarding the process, it’s not important.
Dragon Spirit watched as Xuan Chu quickly turned one of them into a hedgehog-like appearance.
Then, with the most crucial needle, forcibly woke the person up.
Normally, this treatment method is a last resort.
Only chosen under the harshest conditions, when there are no medicinal ingredients available.
And even when using such a method, the aim is to keep the person receiving the needles asleep to reduce pain.
But Xuan Chu forcibly awakened this person, making the pain they had to endure at least ten times more.
"Ah ah ah..."
The person woke up, letting out a miserable cry of pain — just listening was enough to imagine the depths of agony for this person.
Pure pain reaching deep into the soul.
Xuan Chu seemed oblivious, as he continued inserting the silver needles quickly and steadily.
Until the last needle went in, rendering the person unable to cry out in pain.
But those eyes, the eyeballs were nearly bulging out.
This feeling of being awake yet enduring extreme pain, although for healing, it felt more like torture.
The local association’s dark masters couldn’t help but swallow hard at the sight of Xuan Chu’s needles.
Just watching evoked a phantom pain within them.
Now, they only wanted to completely overturn their impression that Mr. Xuan was easygoing.
Powerful and ruthless...
This was the true nature of Mr. Xuan.
Dragon Spirit couldn’t help but gasp at this scene.
He hadn’t known Xuan Chu’s methods for messing with people were this terrifying.
He couldn’t help but grumble inwardly: No wonder Yun Ran had warned him not to provoke Xuan Chu casually; turns out this guy wasn’t easy to handle!
Dragon Spirit immediately recalled whether he had ever taken advantage of Xuan Chu’s tolerance and overstepped?
He pondered for quite a while but couldn’t think of anything wrong he had done to deserve such treatment from Xuan Chu.
So, he should be fine...right?
The man pierced full of needles felt immense regret at that moment.
If only he had known, he definitely wouldn’t have faked it like this.
Not only did he suffer severe injuries for nothing, but now he was enduring treatment akin to cruel torture.
At this moment, he even thought death would be a blessing.
Every fleeting second now felt like an eternity.
This feeling is known only to those who have endured it.
Just when the man thought he was already in hell-level agony.
Xuan Chu spoke again, and his words were harsher than a death sentence to the man.
"Just leave the needle in for half an hour, and rest assured he won’t have any sequelae."
To the man, the first half of this sentence felt like King Yan’s verdict.
As for the latter half, at this stage, it was completely unimportant to him.
But what he didn’t know was, Xuan Chu was telling the truth; although these needles produced immense pain akin to torture.
