On the way back, Shen Tang explained the general course of events to Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou in detail, and quickly contacted the anxious Lu Xiao and Jia Lan who were waiting for news, reporting their safety to avoid needless worry.
Shen Li's injury was too severe, so Shen Tang helped him with preliminary bandage treatment on the way, preventing the injury from worsening.
Upon returning to their residence in the Imperial City, Shen Tang asked Xiao Jin to tidy up the room Shen Li had stayed in before, to settle him, assist in cleaning his wounds, and commence comprehensive healing.
The external injuries, although appearing tragic, were the easiest to treat.
Shen Li's power was excessively depleted; even after treatment he remained comatose, not waking.
In the evening, Shen Tang sat beside the bed, her own power greatly exhausted, her complexion slightly wan, rubbing her temples wearily.
"Tangtang, take a rest for a moment, I'll watch here," Jia Lan handed her a cup of water.
