Not long after Snow Yue and the other three girls left, a cold and elegant figure appeared at the restaurant.
Waiting downstairs, Yan Shao's eyes lit up instantly. He hurried over, full of enthusiasm: "Harriet Gu, you’re here! Please, come in!"
Harriet Gu nodded faintly and followed Yan Shao up to the Horizon Room on the second floor.
Intermediate Student Dormitory Area.
Judging that it was about time, Ian Song prepared to head out toward the academy gates.
But just as he got up, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.
He opened the courtyard gate and saw that the visitors were Winnie Shentu and three other girls. But Winnie and Rose Changsun both had one side of their faces swollen badly, while Celine Murong was being carried in Yvette Xue’s arms, completely unconscious.
"Senior Brother Huang, you have to stand up for us!"
As soon as Winnie saw Ian, all her pent-up grievance burst out. She threw herself into his arms, sobbing. Rose Changsun, whose face was also swollen, watched with a hint of envy in her eyes.
Ian gently patted her back and comforted her: "Don't cry, Winnie. Whatever you’ve suffered, I’ll make sure you get justice—with interest. For now, come inside and let me treat your injuries."
Soon, Ian Song invited all four girls into his room.
Of the three, Celine Murong’s injuries were the worst—cracks had formed in her internal organs. If Ian didn’t treat her, she’d be bedridden for months before she could recover.
As for Winnie Shentu and Rose Changsun, their injuries were external, but the culprit was especially vicious—he had deliberately left a strand of true qi in their faces. Without removing it, their facial wounds would never heal.
For girls as beautiful as they were, having a swollen face would be a laughingstock. Clearly, the person who did this was truly malicious.
"Senior Brother Huang, is Celine’s injury really that serious?" Yvette Xue asked with concern.
"Don’t worry. With me here, she’ll wake up in no time."
As he spoke, Ian took Celine Murong’s wrist and sent a stream of Radiance of Life into her.
The healing power of Radiance of Life was incredible. In less than five breaths, all her internal organs were completely restored, and the unconscious Celine slowly woke up.
"Celine, you’re awake!"
Seeing this, Yvette Xue, Winnie Shentu, and Rose Changsun all looked at her with concern.
"How do you feel?" Ian asked softly.
Celine Murong checked herself and found that all her injuries were gone. She said, "I’m fine now."
"Good. That’s all that matters!"
"Winnie, come here. Let me treat you next," Ian said, looking at Winnie Shentu.
"Okay."
Winnie nodded obediently and stepped up to Ian.
There was still a strand of true qi inside her injured cheek. Before healing, Ian had to expel it, so he reached out to touch Winnie’s swollen face. Instantly, Winnie blushed.
The true qi wasn’t very pure and was quickly removed. Then Ian activated Radiance of Life again.
Winnie’s cheek began to deflate at a visible speed—within just three seconds, it was back to normal.
When Ian treated Celine’s internal injuries earlier, it wasn’t obvious. But seeing Winnie’s facial wound heal in mere seconds left everyone amazed and astonished.
