Chapter 12 Mobile Blood Pack

Chapter 12 Mobile Blood Pack

[Poor Captain Wei!]

Everyone: ?!

Lou Yuqing's sudden thought startled not only Si Nidie, who was engrossed in copying, but also Wei Houming, who had just walked to the listening area.

A moment earlier, while dealing with a case, Wei Houming suddenly sensed that the magic array restriction in the third district had been activated. He summoned the array plate and saw that the person who entered was carrying the sect leader's token and had entered normally.

After Song Li left, he finished dealing with everything and went to the third district to check the magic array restrictions. Seeing that it was intact, he prepared to come to the audience area for an inspection.

At first, he was displeased to hear Xiao Si and Xiao Lou whispering about copying the sect rules. He was about to go out and give them a talking-to so they would correct their attitude.

The next moment, Lou Yuqing's thoughts came through.

Kui Houming stood on the corridor at the corner, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes. He seemed to hear Xiao Lou's thoughts, but no one else seemed to react.

And how did he end up in such a miserable state?

Doubts in his heart prompted Wei Houming to stop in his tracks as if possessed, wanting to see if he could hear the next sound.

Lou Yuqing did not disappoint him; her inner voice rang out once more.

Captain Wei started out as an orphan, abandoned in the mountains. Had Elder Wei Tu of the Wendao Sect not passed by, he would have died that night.

Kui Houming frowned slightly. Xiao Lou wasn't entirely wrong, but the first half of the sentence was definitely wrong; only the second half was correct.

He was indeed rescued by his master and saved from death, but he was not abandoned; rather, he was forcibly lost in a demonic calamity.

Kui Houming was born with knowledge. He witnessed the demonic calamity sweeping in after his mother gave birth to him, and he was unfortunately separated from his parents during their escape.

Compared to his skepticism, Si Nidie was completely convinced. She held the pen but didn't write a single word for a long time, her face full of the expression of a bystander.

Modo Modo.

At the same time, Gu Bugai fell into thought: Wei Houming's career in the sect is now thriving. Apart from his slightly tragic background, how can it be called tragic?

Could something have happened later?

Thinking of this, he straightened his back and listened attentively to his young apprentice's thoughts.

Elder Kui Tu is so good to Captain Kui, letting him take his surname and teaching him knowledge. He must be raising him like his own son.

The two had a deep bond since childhood. After Captain Wei was found to have a metal-attribute celestial spiritual root, many elders wanted to take him as a disciple, but Captain Wei did not hesitate to become Elder Wei Tu's disciple.

Kui Houming nodded to himself.

His master truly treated him as his own son.

He vividly remembers that it was winter, and the air temperature was very low, especially at night when the temperature dropped to zero degrees Celsius. He, an infant in swaddling clothes, could not have survived it.

Just when he thought he was going to die, his master descended from the sky like a celestial being, saving him from danger.

The master held him in his arms, and warmth flowed continuously, warming his frail body.

He fell asleep in that warm embrace.

When Wei Houming recalled this scene, his expression softened considerably.

However, Captain Wei always believed he was exceptionally talented. What he didn't know was that when Elder Wei Tu took him in, he examined his physical condition and unexpectedly discovered that he suffered from a congenital weakness.

impossible.

Kui Houming subconsciously denied it. He had strong meridians at the age of six and awakened his spiritual root earlier than most people. How could he possibly have a weakness?

It should be known that those suffering from physical ailments may not even be able to embark on the path of cultivation, let alone reach the Golden Core realm.

We can't let Xiaolou have any wild thoughts in her mind.

However, when Wei Houming wanted to go out and refute Lou Yuqing, he was shocked to find that he could not speak, as if his mouth had been sealed by a great force.

This made him pause in his steps, and he continued to listen to Lou Yuqing's thoughts with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

In order to cure Captain Wei's congenital weakness, Elder Kui Tu went to great lengths to collect many spiritual herbs, which he used to give Captain Wei medicinal baths every day.

[After being carefully nurtured with a large number of rare and precious materials, Captain Wei's weakness was basically stabilized by the age of six. At the same time, he awakened his metal-attribute celestial spiritual root and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.]

[He achieved Foundation Establishment at age twelve, Golden Core at age thirty-six, and is expected to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years. He is a renowned cultivation genius of the Wendao Sect.]

Si Nidie nodded enviously. Captain Wei's cultivation speed was indeed that fast. She had above-average talent and broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage in her early twenties. As for reaching the Golden Core stage, who knew when that would be?

On the other side, Wei Houming frowned. A medicinal bath?

Images flashed through my mind, and time seemed to accelerate, suddenly rewinding to before I was six years old.

His powerful memory enabled him to successfully locate the corresponding images in the long river of time.

In the scene, he saw his master soaking him in a tub of liquid that was an abnormal green color, yet it made his whole body feel warm. As time passed, the green color gradually faded until it disappeared.

It really is a medicinal bath!

Kui Houming's heart was filled with turmoil.

When I was little, I didn't understand anything and thought my master was giving me a bath. I was laughing happily and overlooked many details.

Now, upon closer inspection, the green liquid, brimming with vibrant life force, was clearly a medicinal liquid brewed from numerous spiritual herbs.

Master...

You did things for me, but you never told me.

Curing someone with a congenital weakness and helping them develop their meridians in advance so they can withstand the pressure of awakening their spiritual root requires an immense amount of hard work.

Because Wei Houming knew this clearly, he understood even more the immense kindness his master had shown him.

Kui Houming pursed his lips. After being saved by his master, he had sworn to repay his master's kindness, and he had been doing so all these years.

Now he learns that he owes this debt of gratitude ever more, and that he can never repay it.

"What merit or ability do I have to trouble you so much?"

For a moment, Wei Houming was overwhelmed with emotion and could not calm down for a long time.

While achieving success in his cultivation, Captain Wei also served as the enforcement captain of the Enforcement Hall. Because of his fair and strict enforcement of the law, he was deeply "loved" by the disciples.

Si Nidie's lips twitched; she disagreed.

If the disciples' private greetings to Captain Wei were a way of expressing their affection, then Captain Wei certainly received a lot of such "affection."

When Captain Wei was serving as the rotating elder, he reached the peak of his career, and the sect's atmosphere became much more disciplined, with the number of offending disciples dropping sharply.

[Because everyone knows that when Captain Wei gets into trouble, the punishment is real, and it's always justified and well-founded, leaving no room for argument. In fact, if someone tries to argue, they might get even more punishment.]

Si Nidie deeply sympathized. Last year, when Captain Wei had just taken office, a disciple who had committed a crime was dissatisfied with the punishment and started making a scene on the spot.

Without saying a word, Captain Wei immediately punished him by sending him to work in the mines for three years.

The disciple, who originally only needed to mine for a year, suddenly saw his income triple. He had nowhere to turn to cry.

Captain Wei spent a wonderful time at the Wendao Sect. If only time could stand still at this moment, it would be so wonderful. Unfortunately, his biological parents found the sect.

Si Nidie was puzzled. Wasn't it a good thing that Captain Wei was reunited with his family?

Gu Bugai's premonition was confirmed: the turning point had indeed arrived.

Kui Houming stood there dumbfounded. Yes, he had always wanted to find his biological parents. They had been separated by the demonic disaster, and he wanted to know if they were still alive.

Although there is no debt of nurturing, there is the debt of giving birth.

If he doesn't try to find the answer, he won't be able to get over that hurdle in his heart. His master knows where his knot lies, expresses his support, and keeps helping him to break free from his obsession.

Kui Houming had been searching for many years without any news. He was mentally prepared that if the final result was not satisfactory, he would not make things difficult for himself.

As Master said, everyone in the world has their own destiny.

But if he could find them, he would definitely take care of them and let them live out their lives in peace.

When Wei Houming suddenly heard that he would be reunited with his biological parents in the future, he was first delighted, then shocked—why would Xiaolou say that?

Lou Yuqing quickly provided an answer.

Captain Wei was immersed in the joy of his family reunion, unaware that his biological parents were plotting against him.

Or rather, this scheme began even before he was born.

Captain Wei has an older brother who, like him, was born with a weak constitution, though his symptoms were milder.

His parents heard about a folk remedy that could cure a weak illness by using their own flesh and blood as a catalyst, so they planned to have another child to serve as a mobile blood transfusion.

This child is Captain Wei.

Looking at the lines of text on the system panel, Lou Yuqing's face showed regret and reluctance.

Kui Houming was struck dumb, unable to comprehend her meaning. What did she mean by "blood and flesh as a catalyst" and "mobile blood pack"?

Si Nidie's eyes widened. "No way?"

How could parents be so cruel!

Although her parents often complained about her and her brother, she knew that her parents loved them.

Si Nidie couldn't imagine what kind of person would sacrifice one child to save another.

This broke through her psychological understanding.

However, Captain Wei's parents' plan backfired, because Captain Wei also suffered from a congenital deficiency, and the possibility of a cure was almost nonexistent.

At that time, the demonic sects launched a war, and the disaster reached their territory. On the way, they casually abandoned Captain Wei by the roadside.

Everyone was shocked and furious.

Si Nidie slammed her hand on the table. Did these two have no conscience? They actually abandoned a newborn child. Wasn't that just sending him to his death?

Even though I knew about the parents' character beforehand, I still couldn't control my emotions the moment I heard their heartfelt words.

Gu Bugai glanced subtly at the corner, knowing that Wei Houming was listening there. For someone who had been trying so hard to find his family, this was undoubtedly cruel.

Kui Houming's face was tense, seemingly unaffected, but in reality, his mind was in turmoil. Was this the truth? He was born with knowledge, so how could he be deceived by his memories?

Yes, he was still young then and couldn't distinguish between good and bad at all. He even had to find out from other people whether his master was giving him a bath or a medicinal bath.

He never imagined that the family member he so desperately wanted to find would be the executioner who sent him to his death.

Kui Houming leaned against the wall with one hand, his strength slowly draining away, and he felt somewhat listless.

Why did my senior sister suddenly slam her hand on the table?

At this moment, Lou Yuqing looked at Si Nidie with a puzzled expression.

Si Nidie suddenly woke up and said in a pretentious manner, "I'm so excited that I'm almost done copying."

Lou Yuqing had no doubts and looked away.

No wonder these unscrupulous parents came knocking on our door; they were just trying to reap the benefits. Seeing Captain Wei's success, they planned to use him for personal gain.

Ever since they recognized Captain Wei as family, they've been constantly playing the victim in front of him, seizing every opportunity to tell him how difficult things have been for the three of them.

Goodness, they even made Captain Wei feel guilty.

【Damn it, isn't this PUA?!】

[Your misfortune has absolutely nothing to do with Captain Guan Wei; it's all your own doing.]

Lou Yuqing's anger gradually grew.

Si Nidie clenched her fist, managing not to slam it on the table, but the bulging veins on the back of her hand revealed her unsettled state of mind.

That's utterly shameless.

They abandoned Captain Wei back then, but now they've come back to claim kinship with him.

They've taken all the good things in the world!

Kui Houming knew his own nature best; he wasn't truly heartless.

If he didn't know that his parents were using him as a sacrifice, or that he had been abandoned, could he distinguish between their feigned weakness and their true intentions?

I'm afraid not.

Kui Houming chuckled self-deprecatingly. He had been looking forward to this reunion for so long, and even if they had some flaws, he would probably overlook them.

He could almost imagine what would happen next.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Captain Wei's parents proposed to him that his brother be admitted to the Wendao Sect and placed in the Law Enforcement Hall. Captain Wei hesitated.

He was met with his parents' tantrums, threats of suicide, his brother's silent pleas, and various forms of moral blackmail.

Who can withstand this combination of attacks?

In short, Captain Wei was persuaded and softened. Golden Core cultivators of the Wendao Sect have the right to recommend disciples, and he used his power to ensure his brother's smooth entry into the sect.

However, he refused to let his brother enter the Hall of Law Enforcement, no matter how much his parents pleaded, which made them resent him.

[Wow, how can there be such an ungrateful person? It really shows the diversity of species.]

Captain Wei is incredibly unlucky to have parents like you.

Just as I expected.

The mockery in Wei Houming's eyes became increasingly obvious.

He had been rooted in the Hall of Law Enforcement for a long time, devoting countless efforts, hoping only to make it better.

If he doesn't allow his brother to enter the Hall of Law Enforcement in the future, it must be because the other party doesn't meet his conditions.

But if we don't go to the Law Enforcement Hall, we can go to some more relaxed places, such as the Spirit Plant Garden or the Spirit Beast Garden. Wouldn't that be better?

Lou Yuqing seemed to know what he was thinking, and her inner voice immediately provided the answer.

[Captain Wei's brother, as a beneficiary, showed no gratitude whatsoever, instead taking it all for granted.]

He was extremely jealous of Captain Wei. Captain Wei also had a congenital weakness, but he was lucky enough to receive treatment and also possessed such a powerful talent for cultivation.

[If he were the one taken in by Elder Kui Tu and brought back to the sect, would their positions be reversed?]

Therefore, he was determined to enter the Hall of Law Enforcement and compete with Captain Wei.

[What the hell? A toad trying to eat swan meat! With your trashy character, you might not even be able to get into the Wendao Sect, let alone the Law Enforcement Hall. Bah!]

Lou Yuqing spat out a mouthful of spittle in disdain.

Si Nidie nodded: That's right.

Is the Law Enforcement Hall a garbage dump?

If this person were standing in front of her right now, she would definitely give him a good punch.

Kui Houming remained silent.

He was lucky to have met his master, but that's no reason for them to scheme against him.

While feeling sad, he also wondered how he would be fooled next.

Just then, Lou Yuqing exclaimed in surprise.

[I knew they didn't know Captain Kui was at the Wendao Sect; they'd known all along.]

That year, not long after Elder Kui Tu took in Captain Kui, he began collecting various spiritual herbs. Coincidentally, they were also paying attention to one of these herbs, and that's how they followed the clues.

After making inquiries from various sources, they finally confirmed that Captain Wei was indeed at the Wendao Sect.

[Until they found Captain Wei, they had been living in a city near the sect.]

Why didn't we go sooner? Because Elder Kui Tu has always been at the sect.

The reason they dared to come to Captain Wei's door this time was because they had found out that Elder Wei Tu hadn't returned to the sect for many years, and they deliberately chose this time.

They were confident they could fool Captain Wei, but they weren't confident they could fool Elder Wei Tu.

"Master..."

It turns out they all knew.

Kui Houming suddenly felt helpless and desperately wanted to hear his master's voice. He took out the communication jade slip and waited anxiously for a reply.

Elder Kui Tu's voice quickly came: "Ming'er, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing that familiar and warm voice, Wei Houming's cold heart gradually warmed, and his lost strength slowly returned: "Master, do I have a congenital weakness?"

"...Ah, what are you saying? Ming'er, you know how healthy you've been since you were little," Elder Kui Tu said with a smile.

Kui Houming noticed his earlier slowness and immediately understood everything. He said, "Master, you don't need to lie to me. I know everything."
