Chapter 285 Marry You
Chapter 285 Marry You
After a long wait of an hour, the door of the medical room finally opened slowly, and the sect's chief physician walked out with a tired look but a hint of relief.
He bowed deeply to Sect Master Lei and Lei Tingyi, his tone filled with respect and satisfaction.
"Sect Master, Young Master, the girl's injuries have been treated urgently and are no longer serious. Thanks to the young master for sending her here in time, and the healing medicine of our Lei Xiao Sect, her condition has been stabilized. However, judging from the characteristics of her wounds, the person who hurt her is a demon cultivator, and his methods are cruel. Although the girl's life is not in danger, her vitality is seriously damaged. She needs a long period of rest and conditioning before she can fully recover."
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei's brows relaxed slightly, but there was still a solemnity in his eyes that could not be ignored.
"Evil cultivator? There must be something fishy about this. Yi'er, do you know who did this?"
Lei Tingyi shook his head, his expression grim.
"It's not clear yet, but I will investigate this matter and give an explanation to Ling Jiuan and Lei Xiaozong."
Sect Leader Lei nodded, agreeing with his son's decision.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. You must find out who is behind this. Lei Xiao Sect will never tolerate such evil deeds. As for the girl, let her recover in the sect. I will arrange for someone to protect her safety."
After hearing this, the doctor added.
"Master, Young Master, after the girl wakes up, she may need to take some specific medicines to help her recover. I will make a list, please prepare it as soon as possible."
Lei Tingyi agreed immediately.
"Don't worry, I will prepare it myself and make sure she gets the best treatment."
As the doctor left, Sect Master Lei and Lei Tingyi looked at each other. Without saying anything, they had conveyed their firm belief and determination to each other.
Lei Xiao Sect, a sect that has stood in the world of cultivation for thousands of years, will never let anyone who threatens its peace and dignity go unpunished.
As Ling Jiuan's injuries gradually stabilized, Lei Tingyi felt relieved.
He turned to Liuzhu and Liuying, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.
"You two must take good care of your master and not be negligent in the slightest."
Liu Zhu and Liu Ying nodded quickly, their eyes full of determination and loyalty. They knew very well how important Ling Jiuan was in Lei Tingyi's heart, and they would do their best.
After finishing the instructions, Lei Tingyi followed Sect Master Lei and walked towards the study with steady steps.
In the study, the candlelight flickered and the atmosphere was solemn and serious.
Sect Master Lei sat behind the desk, his eyes sharp as torches, staring directly at Lei Tingyi who had just walked in.
"Have you found anything in the Savage Beast Forest?"
Sect Leader Lei's voice was low and powerful, and every word revealed that he attached great importance to this matter.
Lei Tingyi nodded, looking solemn.
"Yes, the wild beasts are rioting, and it's not their own fault. I guess that some demon cultivators have controlled the wild beasts through some means, causing them to behave abnormally and even attack humans."
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei frowned, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"As expected, the person behind this must have some plan. The Savage Beast Forest is the common defense line of our Lei Xiao Sect and the surrounding forces. Once it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Father, I intend to personally investigate this matter in depth and find out who is behind it. At the same time, I will strengthen the sect's defenses to prevent any accidents."
After hearing this, Sect Master Lei was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, Lei Xiao Sect will always be your strongest backing. But you must also be careful, the demon cultivators are cunning, don't underestimate the enemy."
Lei Tingyi took the order and felt a warm feeling in his heart, which came from his father's trust and support.
He knew that he was not only responsible for the future of Lei Xiao Sect, but also the safety of countless innocent lives.
Sect Leader Lei looked at Lei Tingyi, a complex light flashed in his eyes. Then, he took out a letter from the drawer of the desk, placed it gently on the table, and pushed it towards Lei Tingyi.
"Yu Lingxi is coming to Lei Xiao Sect, what do you think?"
Sect Leader Lei's voice was calm, yet it carried a subtle hint of expectation.
Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi frowned, with a hint of surprise and displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"Yu Lingxi? What is she doing here?"
Sect Leader Lei sighed, his expression becoming even more complicated.
"Marry you."
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Lei Tingyi's heart hard.
His face instantly darkened and his voice became cold as ice.
"Father, you should know that I never acknowledge this marriage."
Upon hearing this, Master Lei did not get angry, but slowly explained:
"Yier, this marriage was decided years ago, and it concerns the interests and reputation of the two sects. Now that Yu Lingxi has taken the initiative to come to Lei Xiao Sect, this may be a good opportunity to resolve this matter."
"Solve? How?"
Lei Tingyi's voice revealed anger and dissatisfaction that was difficult to conceal.
"Do you want me to sacrifice my own happiness to cater to those so-called interests and face?"
Sect Leader Lei was silent for a moment, as if he was looking for the right words to calm his son.
"Yier, as the young master of the Leixiao Sect, you carry too many responsibilities and expectations on your shoulders. Marriage is sometimes not just a matter between two people, but also a matter between two families and two sects. I hope you can put the overall situation first."
"Big picture?"
Lei Tingyi sneered.
"If this overall situation requires sacrificing my happiness, then I would rather not have this overall situation!"
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Sect Master Lei's voice.
"Yier, calm down. We can discuss this matter slowly. There will always be a way to have the best of both worlds."
Lei Tingyi stopped but did not look back. He just said coldly:
"Father, I hope you can understand me. I want to make my own decision about my marriage."
After saying that, he left the study without looking back, leaving Sect Master Lei alone to ponder under the candlelight.
The atmosphere in the study room fell into solemnity and silence once again.
Sect Leader Lei did not show much surprise at Lei Tingyi's attitude.
He knew his son's character very well: he was tough, independent, and had his own opinions and pursuits.
This marriage was not what Lei Tingyi wanted from the beginning, and his reaction now was also within the expectations of Sect Master Lei.
Looking at Lei Tingyi's departing back, Sect Master Lei sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and understanding in his eyes.
He knew that as the young master of the Lei Xiao Sect, Lei Tingyi carried too much responsibility and pressure, but in his heart, he also longed for freedom and true love.
"Yier, one day you will understand that as the son of the clan leader, every choice you make is not just about yourself."
Sect Master Lei said silently in his heart, but he also understood that saying these words now would only make Lei Tingyi more disgusted.
He put away the letters on the table and began to think about how to deal with the upcoming Yu Lingxi.
This marriage is an important alliance for both the Lei Xiao Sect and the Yu Family, but how to balance the interests of both parties while taking Lei Tingyi's feelings into consideration is a thorny issue.
