225 Prejudice

"What happened?!" Yi Bing asked as they opened the door of the bedroom. 

"Y-Yi Bing…" Huo Ling's body is trembling as he turned to them. "I… I only wanted to help. I didn't mean to harm him – " he said and turned his head to look at the bed. 

They all followed his sight and saw Liu Lin's body, precisely his skin, turned dark and some bruises appeared. Then, they smelled a faint smell of rot inside the room. 

"What did you do?" Yi Bing patiently asked as he pulled the frightened Huo Ling on the side for Di San and Feng Er to go to Liu Lin and check his condition – precisely, his body condition. 

"I heard he was injured, and saw he is gravely ill, so I tried feeding him spiritual energy." Huo Ling explained. "However, he suddenly turned like that. I knew I only made it worse…" he lowered his head in self-blame.
