The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 49: Limb Reconstruction

Mei Qinghe and Liu Baiyun were unable to recover from their sadness for a while, and stared blankly at Li Miao.

Li Miao didn't care. He stepped forward and put his hand on Mei Qinghe's shoulder, using his internal energy to circulate through her meridians.

The obsession that made the people in the martial arts world fear her was suppressed in an instant. Mei Qinghe felt as if her whole body was soaked in warm water, and a trace of warmth flowed through her body, suppressing her chaotic true energy and calming her disordered mood.

"Senior!" Mei Qinghe reacted and stood up quickly.

"I, my master's arm--" As he spoke, he choked.

"It's a small matter." Li Miao said lightly, stepped forward and grabbed Liu Baiyun's left arm with one hand, and used the other hand to fit the broken arm tightly.

"Master Liu, don't use your true energy. Hold on and don't move."

"This is enough for you to bear. It can be regarded as the price for losing your arm."

After saying that, white smoke came out of Li Miao's hands, and they immediately turned red.

“Ugh!——”

Liu Baiyun only felt a piercing pain in her broken arm, as if someone had inserted a red-hot iron stick into her bone marrow, and a tingling sensation as if countless insects and ants were crawling in her flesh and blood!
Such torture is more unbearable than all the injuries she had suffered while wandering the world!

Even with her years of martial arts training, she couldn't help but cry out in pain. Her face turned pale, sweat dripped from her forehead, and her whole body trembled.

Mei Qinghe was watching worriedly from the side and asked softly, "Senior... can you really take it..."

Li Miao used his power in his hands, but his face was relaxed: "No big deal."

"Except for the head, I can glue all the other parts back together in less than an incense stick of time."

"Rama's body... Never mind, you don't understand..."

"Back then, I got inspiration from a play and created this method. But the news leaked out accidentally, and a retired eunuch secretly took the jar and asked me to take it back for him."

"Luckily he cut it off early, I don't want to touch him there. Old eunuch, he is very smelly."

Liu Baiyun endured this inhuman torture with his face a little distorted.

Li Miao looked up at her and smiled: "Master Liu, you feel bad, don't you?"

Liu Baiyun nodded reluctantly.

Li Miao smiled and said, "I originally wanted to use this skill to heal my subordinates. But when a limb falls off, the blood and energy will dissipate within an incense stick of time, and it can't be reattached. I can't follow them around like a nanny all day long, so I use it less."

"Later, Wang Hai was interrogating a gangster. He was stubborn and refused to speak. Wang Hai got angry and beat him half to death. He almost broke the connection."

"I glued his legs, hands, nose and other parts that had fallen off onto his body, thinking I could retry him after I cured him. But he confessed while I was treating him, and he cried and begged me to stop the treatment and let me kill him."

"Who would have thought that my healing skills would become a means of torture."

"I have a colleague who used to have some problems with me. But when he saw me using this technique to interrogate a prisoner, he vomited all over the floor. From then on, he would bow and scrape to me whenever he saw me. When my teacup was empty, he would run over to refill it for me."

"This incident should be regarded as a long lesson for Sect Leader Liu. If he enters the imperial court and has any connection with the Ming Cult..."

"When the time comes, this technique...will not be used to heal your injuries."

Li Miao said calmly.

Liu Baiyun was trying to endure the torture, listening to Li Miao's chatter, thinking that they had just met today, why was he talking to her about these irrelevant things. Hearing this, he was startled and trembled involuntarily.

Did Li Miao hear everything she just said? She saw Li Miao walk into the private room with her own eyes, and confirmed that Mei Qinghe's room was empty before she dared to tell him everything!
But she gradually felt the sensation coming from her broken arm, and vaguely felt that her fingers could move. She was shocked and sighed secretly.

Such a person! Such martial arts! Even the regeneration of broken limbs seemed normal, which was beyond her knowledge of martial arts. It was like a swimming dragon with claws, unattainable. What was so strange about knowing everything she said?
This treatment was a favor, but also a warning and a threat. Liu Baiyun had been in the martial arts world for a long time and had never been involved in the court. At this moment, he actually felt a hint of the meaning of "thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor" as mentioned in the book.

Liu Baiyun was convinced and nodded, "Yes... Sir."

Another half a while passed.

"All right!"

Li Miao stood up and let go of Liu Baiyun's arm: "Try to move it. It will be usable in ten days or half a month."

Liu Baiyun just felt relieved, and relaxed with a breath of relief. His whole body felt as if he had just been pulled out of the water, and sweat was dripping from his cuffs.

Hearing Li Miao's words, she reluctantly tried to move her fingers.

It can move! Although it is not as flexible as before, the severed arm has been reattached!

Seeing this, Mei Qinghe suddenly knelt down on one knee towards Li Miao.

"Hey——" Li Miao raised his hand and released his inner energy. Mei Qinghe felt herself being dragged up by a gentle yet powerful force.

"This is not popular here. If you work hard in the future, so that I can rest more at home, that will be my repayment."

Mei Qinghe bowed deeply: "My lord..."

"I have received your kindness many times, but I have no way to repay you. From now on, I will just keep on driving, and I will not turn back even if I die!"

Liu Baiyun wanted to stop him, but on second thought, he smiled bitterly to himself.

The Huashan Sect had surrendered to the imperial court, and even her master had become a lackey. Mei Qinghe could work for Li Miao, which was like having someone to rely on, which was better than following her master, who had average talent and could not even protect his disciples and sect.

Thinking of this, Liu Baiyun stopped talking.

Li Miao glanced at Liu Baiyun, then turned and said to Mei Qinghe with a smile: "It's good to have the intention, there's no need to be desperate."

He did have the intention of winning Mei Qinghe over to work for him, but he just pushed her a few times without forcing her.

Li Miao has been staying at the position of Qian Hu, and his subordinates come and go, and the only one who can be used is Wang Hai. After years of training by him, Wang Hai has achieved martial arts, skills, and character, and can handle most things for him.

It can be said that Wang Hai, his subordinate, plus Zhu Zai's indulgence, are the guarantee for Li Miao to live a comfortable life.

But one person is still a little too few to fully “entrust” Li Miao.

Although Mei Qinghe is immature, her talent is still superior to Wang Hai.

Wang Hai was trained by Li Miao, while Mei Qinghe was trained by Liu Baiyun... As a result, the two are about the same age and at a similar level, but the gap can be seen.

From now on, let Wang Hai do the work, let Mei Qinghe do the door kicking, and let Xiao Si do the interrogation.

Li Miao is training him personally. In a few years, he will have two top-notch subordinates, plus a great wizard... Wouldn't that allow Li Miao to live a wonderful life where all he has to do is sign, stamp and collect money?

Even if he is made the commander at that time, it will not disturb Li Miao's life.

Thinking of this, Li Miao smiled and said, "You say we are master and disciple, but in fact we are stepmother and daughter. Just talk it out."

"I won't stay any longer. We haven't even finished our meal yet. You two can have a good chat tonight."

"Don't delay the important business when you visit the mountain tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked out of the room, leaving Mei Qinghe and Liu Baiyun looking at each other and smiling.
