"Please spare my life, General. I am just enjoying myself. Although those pills are useless, they will not cause any harm to the Young Noble. General, please be magnanimous and let me go."
General Mao ruthlessly kicked him in the chest, and said angrily: "Why aren't you running anymore?"
"I don't know why, but my whole body is in pain and I can't use my spiritual power anymore." The old man felt wronged.
General Mao immediately understood that this Hua Ruge was the real deal.
The old man kneeled down, Hua Ruge kicked him again, and said with a cold expression: "What do you know, your water rune will cause damage to your meridians, if I had come two days later, Brother Mao would have been completely harmed."
When she thought about this, she became extremely angry.
When General Mao heard this, his expression shook as he asked, "Is this for real?"
"This is related to Brother Mao's injuries. This junior will definitely not lie." Hua Ruge said seriously.
General Mao cried out in regret, he said painfully: "If it wasn't for Master Hua coming, I would still be kept in the dark by this scammer, I almost caused my son's death."
General, don't worry. I have a way to treat the Brother Mao. Hua Ruge hurriedly said.
"Really?" General Mao's eyes lit up as he said in surprise.
Hua Ruge nodded.
"That's good, I was rude before, it's rare that Master Hua let go of the former grudge, I really don't know how to thank you." The General Mao said, ashamed.
"It was only because General was anxious about Brother Mao's injuries that this traitor managed to succeed. This junior understands." Hua Ruge reassured him.
"As long as Master Hua understands." General Mao gave the old man another kick and said loudly, "Hit him. Throw him out if he's useless."
The attendant came forward and dragged the old man who was crying for mercy out of the corner of the gate.
Seeing this ending, Hua Lingling was very unhappy in his heart. He quietly glared at Hua Ruge and thought how she was able to resolve the crisis ever since.
Hua Ruge turned to look at her, and she immediately lowered her head.
She felt that there was nothing that Hua Ruge couldn't do, if he really tried to rob her, she wouldn't be able to do it.
"Miss Hua is flattered by what happened at home today. Since it's inconvenient today, I won't be entertaining you. Please ask me to come over some other day to apologize." General Mao said to Hua Lingling.
He was a military general, so he wouldn't beat around the bush. Furthermore, he wasn't familiar with the Hua Clan's Great Elder's line of descent.
Hua Lingling nodded sensibly: Then I shall take my leave.
Hua Ruge waved at her as he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Master Hua and her seem to be at odds? Would you like me to help with the mediation? " General Mao asked. After all, becoming enemies with the Hua Clan was not that fun.
"Thank you for your kindness, General, but I can handle it." Hua Ruge laughed, and said indifferently.
General Mao nodded his head: "My son is not mistaken, Master Hua is indeed a good person."
"If the general thinks I'm not bad, then call me nephew. Isn't this a bit strange?" Hua Ruge said.
"Good, then call me nephew." General Mao laughed heartily.
At this moment, the attendant came over and said, "Young Master has woken up."
"Let's go take a look together." The General Mao said as he walked over with Hua Ruge.
Having eaten the medicine of a swindler for the past two days, Mao Jun's spirit had improved greatly. Seeing Hua Ruge, who was especially happy, he got off the bed and called out, "Brother Hua is here, sit down."
"Is the Brother Mao better?" Hua Ruge asked.
"After eating the medicine sent by you and Master, my Dantian can now circulate spirit energy, and my spirit is much better." Mao Jun said happily.
General Mao sighed and did not say anything.
"Brother Mao, I have come today to completely treat you. Once you are ready, we can begin." Hua Ruge said.
"Of course, right now is fine. I don't want to wait a moment longer." Mao Jun stood up and said excitedly.
General Mao also nodded: "Then let's do it now."
"Alright."
After everyone had left, Hua Ruge gave Mao Jun a pill to make him fall unconscious.
Before and after the soul technique was cast, the victim couldn't feel any fluctuations, so it was better for them to sleep.
Hua Ruge followed his movements and used his right hand to hover above his abdomen, releasing a light green energy to begin nourishing and repairing it.
General Mao waited outside for an entire two hours before Hua Ruge opened the door and walked out. At this time, her face was completely devoid of blood, and even her lips were somewhat pale, looking like she had consumed too much energy.
However, she didn't show it. She only slightly frowned.
"How is it?" General Mao walked over and asked.
"I've repaired his meridians, so there won't be any problems with his cultivation in the future. Although I can't recover my previous cultivation level in a short time, it will slowly recover as well." Hua Ruge finished speaking in a single breath, and his expression turned even uglier.
The Healing consumed too much energy, if she was not a Element Body, she would not have succeeded with her cultivation.
"This is great." General Mao let out a long breath, feeling overjoyed.
"Brother Mao should wake up in the evening, so I'll be leaving first." Hua Ruge said.
The General Mao naturally wouldn't let her leave, but she insisted on leaving because she wasn't sure how long she could hold on for and she didn't want them to think too much.
Walking on the road, Hua Ruge's footsteps were much slower than before.

When she arrived at the main road of the capital, she saw a group of soldiers escorting a group of people in prison uniform. There were one to two hundred of them, and there were even quite a few people pointing fingers at her from the side.
"Auntie, what's going on?" She stood there for a moment before asking.
"You don't even know this. The Xiao manor has gone beyond etiquette and disobeyed, cutting off the title of prince. Your Majesty didn't behead them for the sake of their ancestors' merits. He only copied their families and sent them to the border."
Without waiting for Hua Ruge to speak, she continued: "Because of this Xiao Duke Palace's ancestors' virtue, they are usually arrogant and despotic. They should have taken revenge a long time ago."
Hua Ruge felt that something was amiss. Ever since the establishment of the Xiao family's dynasty, the Xiao family had always been the unyielding Duke. Although they did not have any real power, they were people that the Emperor valued, so why did they suddenly commit such a crime?
A manor that had stood for several hundred years should have gone through three halls of interrogation. If they carefully checked, these things would have caused a sensation among the common people, but she had never heard of them before, which meant that she had never heard of them.
Isn't this a bit too hasty?
Her intuition told her that this matter was not that simple, so she turned around and headed towards Battle King Manor.
Because the Battle King was quiet, the streets that the Battle King Manor was on were the loneliest. Hua Ruge knocked on the door and was immediately welcomed by a servant.
There was a pine tree planted between the front hall and back hall of the Battle King Manor.
Beneath the tree, there was a piece of snow-white fur. Tuoba Rui sat atop it while dressed in black, his posture as straight as a pine tree.
His jade-like fingers flew about as he focused all of his attention on the tea in front of him.
Just as Hua Ruge entered the courtyard, she saw a scene. His face was like a jade sculpture, just his side profile was enough to make her feel like the Creator was only mediocre.
At this moment, he was concentrating on making tea. His dark eyes were as clear as water.
As the gentle wind blew past, a few fine snowflakes fell from the withered tree branches. As they drifted past him, Hua Ruge immediately felt like he was looking at a beautiful scenery.
Xue Luo stopped and turned to look at her. "He's here."
Hua Ruge unknowingly stood in place, and cursed under his breath, then walked over and said: "You look like you're waiting for me."
She noticed that in addition to a tea set, there were also two cups.
Tuoba Rui frowned: "Why is it so weak, is the Healing so difficult?"
"Healing is not difficult, it's just that my realm is too low." Hua Ruge said as he sat opposite him.
"I knew I should have asked someone to come back and treat him." Tuoba Rui was no longer cold like before, and pulled her up: "The sky is so cold, you are so weak, and can't be outside."
"At least let me drink a cup of tea. In the future, I can brag about having drank the tea personally brewed by Battle King." Hua Ruge muttered to himself as he walked.
Tuoba Rui pulled her into his room, then said: "When do you want to drink water, I'll make it for you. Breaking the ice is not for fun."
Just like that, Hua Ruge was pressed onto a chair, he turned around and closed the door, blocking the snowstorm outside as he said something.
Hua Ruge was stunned for a moment, he could not hear it clearly, he only felt that the room was lit up by a furnace, it was very warm.
With an extremely unsightly expression, he said, "I already said that as long as you were in trouble, I'll have the Dark Guard come and report to me. This group of trash, even if they freeze you to this extent, they still wouldn't know to report.
Hua Ruge's hands felt very warm on his large palm. She wasn't afraid of the cold, why did she seem like paper in his eyes?
"I only came because I heard about the matter of the Xiao family." she said.
"Hmm?" He didn't seem to care about anything. He just wanted to warm her hands.
Seeing that he did not reply, Hua Ruge could only say: "I feel that this matter is very sudden, did you do it?"
When Tuoba Rui heard this, he smiled and moved closer to her face, asking, "How did you know it was me?"
When he heard that the situation in the secret realm was uncontrollable, he thought that the Xiao family might retaliate and dealt with the Xiao family before they could find any concrete evidence.
It was to protect Hua Ruge, and it was also avenging Hua Ruge.
Hua Ruge naturally only came here because of this thought. She knew Tuoba Rui was good to her, but how could she say it?
Thus, she turned her head to the side. It was unknown if her delicate ears were cold or shy, but a thin layer of pink had dyed them. It was a very moving sight to behold.
She really liked Tuoba Rui when she looked at him like a little rabbit.
"Your Highness, the hot water has arrived. Do you want me to bring it in?" The servant's voice came from outside.
Tuoba Rui unwillingly let go of Hua Ruge's hand and said to her: "I'll be right there."
Then, he opened the door and took the water basin, and placed it at Hua Ruge's feet.
"What are you doing?" Hua Ruge was shocked.
