Morning came.
The Sun went up and shined down on Lianhua's house and to it's window from outside.
As the heat of the Sun touched the very face of Lianhua who is still sleeping,made him grunt for the sudden disturbance.
It seems like he doesn't want to wake up but he knew himself that he should and he must prepare for today.
But then, he suddenly remembered what he said yesterday.
' I'll think about it...'
Lianhua regretted his response to them and could only sigh and think about his final decision.
To accept it.
"How I wish I could go back in time and prevent myself from saying it. Oh well,it already happened and there's nothing I could do about it."
He got off his bed and went to the screen to change his clothes.
But suddenly, his head ached.
Like someone hit it with a large stone enough for the target to scream in pain.
He never experienced this before and he can't even identify what was causing this very painful headache.
Slowly and slowly, the pain is getting stronger and stronger like he get continuously beaten in the head with a stone.
Thinking that he might trip accidentally at any moment, he suddenly went to the nearest wall and held onto it with his palms, making it as his support so he would not fall onto the floor.
The pain never stops and continued until he screamed because of it.
Lianhua couldn't think straight right now, less how he could get out of this.
The headache is so painful to the point where he couldn't even stand straight.
He couldn't stay still and kept spinning, going to different directions.
He couldn't even see where he was going because of the pain.
All of this happen with him clenching his head and his pitiful scream with his sweat-covered face.
Just then,he suddenly crashed accidentally into a furniture and then he fell onto the floor.
He kept screaming and screaming until he went unconscious and finally stopped.
.....
Xiao Li Zi and Yu Chen finally walked outside the hotel.
They were ready for departure and also, to hear Lianhua's final decision.
"Senior brother, should we get something for Lianhua?"
"Is that your way of making him accept to join us?"
Xiao Li Zi also thought of giving something to the Immortal Healer too, but it's useless at the same time.
"Think of it Yu Chen. Doesn't it lose his dignity as the Immortal Healer?For example, Lianhua has finally decided to help our Sect Leader just because we gave him something."
Yu Chen agreed to it but it's actually not the purpose of his sudden idea.
"Whether he refuses to help us or not, I'm still gonna give it to him."
"....okay."
Both of them decided to go to the nearest market to find a perfect gift for Lianhua.
.....
Xiao Li Zi and Yu Chen were on their way to Lianhua's house.
The other held both leash of the horses to lead them and the other carried a small box.
Xiao Li Zi left the horses outside and both of them went directly to Lianhua's house.
When they arrived at the doorstep they noticed something weird.
"....uuhh, shouldn't he be smashing some kind of herbs? Why is it so quit here?"
Yu Chen questioned as he searched the backyard on both sides.
Xiao Li Zi noticed something different.
The door has been repaired.
Suddenly, a man shouted.
"We repaired his door! Don't worry about it!"
Xiao Li Zi was shocked at the man's voice.
"Is it just me or the people here is just kind." Xiao Li Zi questioned because of his experience here last night at the hotel.
Yu Chen is surprised too of how the people here respected the Immortal Healer. Back in the Hotel when the customers and staffs there has came to know about the Immortal Healer's guest, they treated both cultivators with high quality foods, liquor, and the most expensive room for free! Yu Chen still miss the taste of last night's feast.
After a short silence, it seems like they need to get back on their visit.
Xiao Li Zi has finally knocked on the door, but no one seems to be answering and so, he knocked again, again, and again but still, no response.
He grew anxious of what might have become of the Immortal Healer.
Yu Chen curiously asked "Why is he still not responding? Maybe something has happened there inside?"
"Don't think such things, let's go in there and see."
Xiao Li Zi grew more anxiously as he opened the door. A part of him really cares for Lianhua.
He wants him to be safe.
He searched and searched the whole place...and there he found Lianhua who was lying on the floor, unconscious.
Xiao Li Zi froze in sight.
He really hoped that Lianhua was so drunk last night that he ended up sleeping on the floor. But he knew to himself that Lianhua is not that kind of person.
"L-Lianhua....?"
Both if his body and voice trembled as he called out his name.
His heart pumping fastly and he couldn't even move.
He felt that he experienced seeing this scene before but not sure when.
It almost feels like it's deja vu.
Yu Chen who finishes searching the backyard and the front yard, finally enters the house and noticed Xiao Li Zi.
"Senior Brother.....? Why are you trembling .....L-LIANHUA?!"
Yu Chen suddenly rushed to Lianhua and checked his body to see if there's any bleeding.
Fortunately, he didn't have any external wounds and that made Yu Chen more nervous because of the internal wounds that might have a high chance of being the real cause.
"Oh no.....what happened to him?!"
He then look back to his Senior Brother who is still standing and trembling.
"I know what you feel right now but Lianhua is still not dead, he is just unconscious. We can still heal our Sect Leader so don't worry and help me get Lianhua back to his bed."
"I-Its not that.....it's just...no...nevermind.."
Xiao Li Zi finally came back to his senses and so, he helped Yu Chen to put Lianhua back to his bed. Xiao Li Zi was shocked after he touched Lianhua's clothes that it seems to be wet due to his sweating but what causes this?
"To think that he sweats a lot, he seems to be suffering something? Maybe he is...sick too..? Senior Brother, this seems to be a serious problem."
"Nonsense, if he can heal other people, his own body is no exception."
Xiao Li Zi thought that maybe this happened to Lianhua yesterday, or the day before, or the day before that.
Maybe Lianhua is still searching for the cure of his illness?
Xiao Li Zi could only stay by Lianhua's side and hoped that he will be okay.
Extra!!
Small Theatre:
(Xiao Li Zi and Yu Chen is searching for a little gift at the market).
Yu Chen:"what should we get for him?(╯︵╰,)"
Xiao Li Zi:"..."
Yu Chen:"how about medicinal herbs?＼(°o°)／"
Xiao Li Zi:".....how about.."
It seems like Xiao Li Zi has something in his mind when he imagined the face of the Immortal Healer.
...
Yu Chen:"you really had a good taste,Senior Brother! I'm very sure he will like this!"
Xiao Li Zi:" ///// "
