As the Universe Turns - Chapter 648
Chapter 648 Cold Injury
Madam Xian Shu knew that this matter was no small matter. Her expression was serious and she did not hesitate. She immediately instructed the disciples outside to increase their vigilance these days and strengthen the defensive formations everywhere. At the same time, no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.
After everything was arranged, night had already quietly fallen. The evening breeze was gentle, and a crescent moon gradually rose to the top of the tree. It was like a beautiful woman’s eyebrows. Tonight in Hundred Flowers Valley, it was quite peaceful.
“Wei Yang … what happened to her? But because of last time …”
Xiao Chen’s face was still a little worried. Even though he had brought back the Fusang Flower last time and made Wei Yang wake up, what if it was really like what Shen Jing had said? If she was a once-in-ten thousand-year Profound Yin Body and her fate was set, and she could not change it, then what should she do?
Madam Xian Shu frowned slightly. As she walked, she said, “Wei Yang … her body has been unwell these days, and she has always been afraid of the cold. Other things … are fine.”
“Is that so …”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. I wonder if Shen Jing has returned from Dingfeng City, If Shen Jing was here, with her medical skills, it wouldn’t be difficult. Cultivation and acupuncture were two completely different things. No matter how high Madam Xian Shu’s cultivation was and how deep his cultivation was, he only had a little research in medical skills and wasn’t proficient in it. It seemed that none of the four Valley Masters had ever heard of a Valley Master who was extremely skilled in medical skills.
The two of them said as they walked. Unknowingly, they had already arrived outside a unique courtyard. A fragrance of flowers came from the evening breeze, refreshing to hear.
The night fell gently, but the things in the courtyard were faint, the rocks were ancient, the flowers bloomed like brocades, and it was quite quiet.
The two of them entered the courtyard and passed through two lotus pools and several vermilion corridors before arriving in front of a palace house made of carved fences and jade. When they reached the stairs, Madam Xian Shu gently knocked on the door twice and whispered, “Wei Yang, are you inside?”
“Xian Shu, um … you can come in.”
Hua Weiyang’s weak voice came from inside. Xiao Chen furrowed his eyebrows. Madam Xian Shu pushed open the door and saw a screen at the end of the room. Behind the screen, the candle flames swayed, and Wei Yang’s figure could be vaguely seen.
“Hmm? Is there anyone else?”
Seemingly sensing another aura, Hua Weiyang’s voice came from behind the screen again. Madam Xian Shu said, “It’s Young Hero Xiao.”
“Ah … it’s him …”
Hua Weiyang’s voice carried a hint of surprise. At this moment, Xiao Chen had already walked inside. “Wei Yang, how do you feel? But you feel a cold aura in your body …”
“Hey! You, you, you, get out of here …”
Hua Weiyang’s voice came from behind the screen. Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped. He only heard her say, “Daughter’s room, you can enter as you please. Quickly leave.”
Behind the screen, Xiao Chen could vaguely see her shadow. Her hair was loose on her shoulders, and she was probably wearing only a personal garment. There were usually no men in Lianhua Palace. Only then did Xiao Chen realize that she was a little rude, and immediately retreated outside.
After a while, after her clothes were tidied up, Madam Xian Shu said to the outside, “Young Hero Xiao, you can come in now.”
Only then did Xiao Chen slowly step inside. He arrived behind the screen and saw Hua Weiyang sitting on the bed, his lips slightly pale and his appearance slightly haggard.
At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a wave of unhappiness in his heart. He immediately recalled the first time he saw her, and the time on the flat mountain, when she had disguised herself. How could she be so haggard like she was now? It was all because of that time at the Cliff of Burying Immortals and later at the Heavenly Spirit Sect, she had begged for the seed of eternal youth of flowers and leaves. Otherwise … how could it be like this?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen furrowed his eyebrows. Unfortunately, Shen Jing was not here right now. Otherwise, with just a slight needle application, Wei Yang would no longer have to suffer from the cold energy in his body. He asked, “Madam Xian Shu, who is the most skilled person in Lianhua Palace right now?”
“The person with the highest medical skills …”
Madam Xian Shu frowned slightly and looked outside. Finally, she slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Chen. “If that’s right, the person with the highest medical skills here should be you, Young Hero Xiao,” she said.
“I…”
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. At this moment, he realized that if there was someone skilled in medicine in Lianhua Palace, there was no need for Weiyang to endure such suffering. However, although he had learned a lot from Shen Jing, Weiyang’s situation was complicated and special. He truly did not dare to act rashly.
“Actually … it’s not as serious as you think …”
Hua Weiyang looked at the two of them and said, “The cold energy in my body has existed for a long time. It will break out once a month. After these few days, I will be fine. Right …”
At this point, she changed the topic and said, “I heard that there was a big movement outside just now, and the Spiritual Energy fluctuations in the formations were also very intense. Xian Shu, did something happen outside?”
Madam Xian Shu had not relaxed her eyebrows since she came in just now. At this moment, she really did not want to add to her worries. She shook her head gently and said, “It’s fine, I just let the formation outside stabilize for a moment.”
“No, you must be hiding something from me …”
Hua Weiyang saw the clue and said to Xiao Chen, “Has someone from the Tai Shi Dao Sect come looking for him again?”
Xiao Chen shook his head, “It doesn’t matter. You should rest well tonight. I’ll discuss the rest with Madam Xian Shu.”
That night, in the dead of night, the two of them left the courtyard in Hua Weiyang. Along the way, Xiao Chen did not raise his eyebrows and finally asked, “Wei Yang, she … still can’t remember?”
Madam Xian Shu sighed softly and shook his head, “I haven’t thought of it yet. It’s just that I occasionally have nightmares with her. I guess I dreamed about the incident with the Black Green Sect back then. Perhaps it was because it was too profound that she temporarily forgot about it … Oh right, Young Hero Xiao.”
At this point, she suddenly stopped and looked at Xiao Chen. “During this period of time, I heard many people outside saying that Xiao Cangtian brought the remnants of the Heavenly Book and hid beneath the Mysterious Cyan Mountain. At that time, I don’t know who was chasing after him. Young Hero Xiao, do you know anything about this?”
“Back then …”
Xiao Chen recalled what had happened back then. Although it had been many years, he still remembered the old man’s appearance clearly. He remembered every word clearly …
Seeing that he was silent, Madam Xian Shu continued, “I also heard people say that Ning Village was destroyed overnight. Some people said that Xiao Cangtian’s devilish nature had done it …” As she spoke, she watched Xiao Chen’s face change and stopped talking.
However, from beginning to end, Xiao Chen’s expression did not change at all. In the end, he shook his head and continued walking forward, “It won’t be his …”
A few simple words denied the rumors outside. Madam Xian Shu stood there for a while before slowly walking up. Xiao Chen stopped and turned around. “I’ll take a look at the cold wound on Wei Yang’s body tomorrow and see if I can find a way to temporarily suppress the cold energy in her body.”
Madam Xian Shu nodded slightly, “There are many rare flowers and herbs in the valley. If you need them, just say it. As for the matter of the Divine Fault Child, you don’t need to worry for the time being. I’ve already caused people to reinforce the formations everywhere. There are also the Hundred Flowers Misty Formation outside. It won’t be easy for him to break into the valley.”
