Chapter 444: The Long Road

After hearing this, Tie Wandao had to suppress his anger and gave them some money and let them leave.

As a result, Tie Wandao no longer wanted to look for other alchemists, so he decided to let his men look for Chi Yue, who used to sell the demon identification bell. Of course, he knew that Chi Yue had lost all her special abilities because of saving people and had to live in seclusion in the mountains to practice again, but he thought that she might have already practiced well. Even if she hadn’t practiced well, she was so knowledgeable about preventing demons and knew so much about exorcising demons, and her coming would probably help Tie Hongyan. But his men searched for a long time but didn’t see any trace of Chi Yue.

After some days, Tie Hongyan could not only sit up by himself, but also get out of bed and walk outside with the help of others.

Doctors all said that at this stage, it would be good for Tie Hongyan’s health if she went outside more often and saw more sunshine.

Wu Xunsheng was still responsible for taking care of Tie Hongyan at Tie Wandao’s request. After listening to the doctors’ opinions, Tie Wandao specifically asked Wu Xunsheng to accompany Tie Hongyan for more walks and sunbathing. When the weather was good, Wu Xunsheng would help Tie Hongyan take a walk near Aoqian Palace. Tie Hongyan’s body was not suitable for walking too long, so they never went far away from Aoqian Palace. Although they did not go far, because of the incident of Zuo Youqun poisoning Tie Hongyan before, Tie Wandao sent some men to secretly watch Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng, so that they could immediately help if there was any danger.

After a few days, Tie Hongyan felt much better, so he said to Wu Xunsheng: “Do you remember you said that when I recover, we will go to the wild to play with kites together? I really want to go today.”

“Of course I remember. I just wanted to play with a kite. It’s been a while since I’ve experienced the feeling of flying a kite into the sky. Today’s weather is indeed suitable. But, I said at that time that I would wait until you recovered before going. Now you…”

“I’m much better.” said Tie Hongyan.

“If you want to go to the wild, your current body…is it suitable for walking such a long distance?” Wu Xunsheng asked.

“It’s no problem to walk from here to the wilderness. If you feel tired halfway, just stop and rest for a while. I know my current physical condition is not suitable for running with a kite string, but I can sit there and watch you fly the kite.” Tie Hongyan said.

Wu Xunsheng was worried and said, “The clan leader and doctors will be here soon. How about asking them before deciding whether to go today?”

“Okay.” Tie Hongyan said.

After Tie Wandao and several doctors arrived, Tie Hongyan told them that she wanted to take a walk far away to watch Wu Xunsheng fly a kite. After examining her body in turn, the doctors all said that she could already walk long distances with the support of others. If she felt she didn’t have enough strength along the way, she could just stop and rest for a while before continuing on.

When Tie Wandao heard Tie Hongyan say that she wanted to walk away and watch Wu Xunsheng fly a kite, he felt a little happy – on the one hand, he felt that since she had such an idea, it proved that she felt much better; on the other hand, her wanting to watch Wu Xunsheng fly a kite would also help them get closer to each other.

From time to time, Tie Wandao would think of the incident in which Zuo Youqun poisoned Tie Hongyan. Since Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng would go a longer distance this time, Tie Wandao found more subordinates and ordered them to follow the two of them in secret and protect the safety of the young patriarch.
