Lu Sangjiu brought Jichen to the Moon Palace storeroom where supplies for Cultivators were kept. She found several fifth-grade or higher Healing Pills and fed them to him. This finally stabilized his injuries for the time being, preventing him from dying on the spot.
A moment later, Fa Shan finally caught up to them. "Palace Master, he…"
Lu Sangjiu shook her head at him. "He's not dead yet."
Fa Shan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been extremely worried the whole way, terrified that he had actually beaten Jichen to death. If that had happened, he would have been overwhelmed with guilt.
But his sigh of relief was premature, because Lu Sangjiu immediately added, "But he's close."
Fa Shan was stunned. "Then…"
Lu Sangjiu stood up. "I won't let him die."
Although today's incident could be considered Jichen's fault, it was ultimately she who had mistakenly brought him back in the first place, then accepted a favor from him and agreed to let him stay.
