Chapter 150 The Esoteric Nature of Qi
Sarah was immediately reminded by her grandpa and quickly caught on.
"Are you talking about the trees in our yard?"
"Exactly. I don't believe it's just a coincidence. Maybe the withering of these plants is related to Ethan's healing practices."
Clarence was almost certain of his answer. However, it still seemed a little unbelievable after he had further consideration.
"But it was Francis who asked them to move the potted plants, right? Could it be Francis already knew about this?"
Sarah immediately noticed something suspicious and turned her head to look at the potted plants in the yard.
"Senior... look... at these potted plants..."
The Taoist priests were already in chaos at that point. They thought that gathering all the potted plants in the yard away from Remington's room would be sufficient. Clearly, they had misunderstood Francis's intent.
Because now, these potted plants were also starting to show signs of wilting and losing leaves.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up, and move them outside to the courtyard!" Mr. Jerome's expression immediately changed. These were Magister's favorite potted plants!
Francis, who valued self-cultivation, likely had the most interest in tending to these plants. If anything went wrong, he, as their disciples, would be held responsible!
The yard immediately became chaotic, but the Harris family had nothing to do with it. They were more concerned about what was happening in Remington's room.
Ethan was using his breath to gradually dissolve the bullet fragments in Remington's skull. It was not the same as dissolving walnut flesh. As the fragments were made of metal, and it was not easy to turn them into liquid.
Ethan's method was to envelop the bullet fragment with his breath and then crush it. The process was quite lengthy and not as easy as dissolving walnut flesh.
Moreover, the dissolved bullet fragments did not turn into liquid but rather became tiny particles. Ethan had to carefully gather these particles together, then use his breath to mix them into the blood and finally expel them through the puncture site made by the silver needle.
The process lasted for three hours. Bennit even doubted whether Ethan was actually treating Remington since he seemed to do nothing besides maintaining a certain posture.
If Ethan hadn't previously instructed to maintain absolute silence, Bennit would have interrupted long ago!
At that moment, Bennit couldn't help but look at Francis, who was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, seemingly meditating.
Francis seemed to sense Bennit's gaze and slowly opened his eyes. He nodded at him, implying he should stay calm.
Just then, a sudden pain appeared on Remington's face, and his whole face turned red from the struggle.
Bennit's expression immediately changed, and he was about to ask what was happening when Francis suddenly grabbed an empty coffee cup from the table and directly placed it under the silver needle in Ethan's hand.
Bennit widened his eyes and saw a stream of dark blood shooting out from Remington's body through the silver needle. Within a few breaths, the coffee cup was almost half full.
Fortunately, the bleeding quickly stopped, and Ethan simultaneously pulled the silver needle out from the back of Remington's neck.
"Thanks! almost made me covered in blood!"
Ethan looked at Francis, who was holding the coffee acup filled with half a cup of blood, and nodded at him.
"Don't mention it. The old path is also gathering evidence for Bennit! We may not care, but Bennit still needs to submit a report to his superiors!"
Francis smiled and placed the coffee cup on the table. Then he said to Bennit, "Bennit, you can have the professionals test the blood. The fragments of Remington's skull have dissolved in it."
Ethan did not expect his words to be replaced by Francis. He didn't say anything after a brief moment of confusion.
Instead, he became even more curious about how much Francis knew about him.
"So you're saying the fragments have been removed from my father's head?"
Bennit asked incredulously, widening his eyes.
"Bennit, why did you invite me here if you don't trust me?" Ethan reminded calmly.
Bennit felt embarrassed and carefully observed Remington's face. He found his face had indeed returned to normal, but he was still unconscious. Only then did Bennit relax a little.
"I may need to perform a detailed brain scan on the old man. It's not that I don't trust you..."
Bennit sighed and marveled at Ethan's mysterious abilities, but also explained helplessly.
"I see. You need to write a report to your superiors! My task has completed, so the rest is up to you! Remington should wake up within an hour. It's best to prepare some warm liquid food for him as he must be hungry!"
Ethan interrupted Bennit indifferently and reminded him with a serious expression.
"Okay!"
Bennit finally snapped out of his daze and quickly laid Remington back on the bed, then hurriedly opened the door to instruct his subordinates to prepare food for Remington.
Ethan and Francis then walked out of Remington's room.
"How did it go? Was it successful?"
Sarah immediately grabbed Ethan's arm and asked anxiously.
"If it wasn't successful, I think Bennit would have someone point a gun at me right now!" Ethan's words instantly darkened Bennit's face.
Couldn't this guy speak more politely? After all, he was a general and still had some dignity!
Clarence, who was nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll go in and take care of the old man!"
Bennit turned around and walked straight into the ward. He was afraid if he heard a couple more of Ethan's remarks, he would be mad!
"Magister... your potted plants..." Mr. Jerome approached Francis and hesitated before speaking up.
"Everything is done. Being able to exchange Remington for one life, these potted plants also died deservedly!" Francis seemed to have anticipated the outcome and did not blame his disciple.However, he sighed helplessly, looking at Ethan with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"Francis, why did you have the potted plants moved before? What does it have to do with Ethan treating Remington?" Sarah asked curiously.
Upon hearing that, Ethan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. Fortunately, Sarah didn't ask him directly, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain the phenomenon.
Now he was even more eager to hear Francis's explanation.
"Because when Ethan was treating Remington, he absorbed the surrounding space's nutrients and supplied them to Remington's body to achieve the best treatment effect. Qi, which is something mysterious, is difficult to explain in a short time!" Francis glanced at Ethan and could only explain with a wry smile toward Sarah.
Ethan carefully observed Francis's expression and found he didn't seem to be acting or lying, which inevitably disappointed him.
He could have come up with it if this was the explanation, but it wasn't the answer he wanted to hear!
"You brat. Confess honestly. Did you kill the trees in my yard?" Clarence scowled and interrogated Ethan.
"But, wasn't it to save your life?" Ethan explained with a wry smile, admitting he was indeed the culprit behind the matter.
"Why did you do that? Do you need to obtain some nutrients from plants to heal and save people? This is amazing! What is the principle behind it?" Sarah eagerly asked.
