It took a lot of persuading from Han Yinyue before Han Xiaoxing shared the origin of her hidden ailment.
It turned out that a year ago, Han Xiaoxing had ventured out alone to train and hone her strength.
By unfortunate coincidence, she ran into three elite fighters from the Li Family.
Although Han Xiaoxing didn’t want to stir up trouble, a misunderstanding between both sides led to a conflict.
The three Li Family members were naturally very arrogant, and with an irascibly short-tempered Han Xiaoxing, a fight was inevitable.
Facing three opponents alone, Han Xiaoxing fought admirably, but was ultimately overwhelmed. In addition to being blinded in both eyes, she was ambushed.
In the end, Han Xiaoxing killed a member of the Li Family and managed to escape back to the Pill Sect, but she was left with a hidden ailment in her body.
Most members of the Li Family cultivate their family’s unique Cultivation Technique, the True Sun Energy, which, after cultivation, fills their Inner Strength with a powerful yang force.
Han Xiaoxing was injured by the invasion into her body of this yang energy from the True Sun Energy, which flares up every day at high noon. Hot, sunny weather could easily awaken this yang energy.
At first, Han Xiaoxing didn’t pay it much mind, but as the attacks became more frequent, she realized that her injury might be more severe than she had thought
However, she didn’t want her father and sister to worry about her, so she never revealed her condition. She silently endured the pain for the entire year.
Upon hearing this, Han Yinyue burst into tears, and gently embraced Han Xiaoxing.
Though Han Yinyue hadn’t personally experienced the pain of the True Sun Energy, she could imagine how agonizing this past year must have been for her sister. Not knowing about it, Yinyue hadn’t been able to support her.
Han Xiaoxing just stubbornly kept her face expressionless, refusing to say a word.
Fang Lin sighed, saying, “No wonder. Miss Han Xiaoxing’s Cultivation
Technique should lean towards yin, and women already have a yin physique.
The True Sun Energy of the Li Family naturally has a dominant effect on yin.
It’s truly remarkable that Miss Han Xiaoxing has endured this much hurt from True Sun Energy for a year.”
Yinyue turned to look at Fang Lin pleadingly, “Is there a way to cure Xiaoxing’s ailment?”
Fang Lin smiled and said, “Clearing True Sun Energy is quite easy, one doesn’t need to come to me. Any elder with sufficient skills could do it.”
Upon hearing this, Han Xiaoxing immediately said, “No.”
Han Yinyue looked at Fang Lin apologetically, “Xiaoxing definitely doesn’t want anyone else to know about her injury, especially father. If he found out, he’d definitely blame Xiaoxing.”
There is no other way. It seemed like it was up to him to figure out how to get rid of the True Sun Energy in Han Xiaoxing’s body.
Given Fang Lin’s character, he wouldn’t want to bring trouble to himself. The troubles of the Han sisters were overwhelming him.
Perceiving Fang Lin’s hesitation, Han Yinyue promptly said, “As long as you cure my sister’s hidden ailment, I am willing to fulfill one condition, as long as it is within my ability.”
“Sister, you don’t have to beg him! ” retorted Han Xiaoxing coldly.
Fang Lin coughed awkwardly and blushed slightly, saying, “Don’t misunderstand, it goes without saying that I will try my best to heal Miss Han Xiaoxing’s injury.”
He paused, and then continued, “Clearing the True Sun Energy is not difficult.
Just need to take a few Ice Dew Pills and then Han Xiaoxing must circulate her Inner Strength to dissolve the True Sun Energy. I can make the Ice Dew Pills, but I don’t have one of the necessary ingredients, Frost Cold Grass.”
Han Yinyue responded, “That’s not a problem. I can provide all the medicinal ingredients you need to make the Ice Dew Pill.”
With a bashful expression, Fang Lin said, “Miss Han, since I’m doing a favor for you two, I wonder you could do something for me too?”
Han Xiaoxing’s face turned cold immediately, she abruptly stood up, startling Fang Lin. He thought she was going to attack him.
“You’re not qualified to ask my sister to do anything for you,” Han Xiaoxing said icily. A hint of Inner Strength fluctuated around her, signaling her anger.
Han Yinyue quickly calmed Han Xiaoxing down. She knew her sister well, including her stubbornness and intense feelings of concern towards their father and herself.
Fang Lin took a few steps back and quickly explained, “It’s nothing big, I just hope Miss Han can say a few good words for me in front of the sect leader.”
Upon hearing this, Han Yinyue immediately understood what he meant, she subtly asked, “You want me to talk to Mr. Gu?”
Fang Lin nodded. That was exactly what he was hoping for.
After all, being in the Pill Sect, if Gu Daofeng had the intention to harm him, Fang Lin would have no means to resist with his current level of power.
However, if Han Yinyue were to subtly remind Gu Daofeng that she was supporting Fang Lin, Gu Daofeng would probably have to think twice before plotting against him.
Han Yinyue frowned slightly, asking, “Do you have any complaints against Mr.
Fang Lin smiled and shook his head, “It’s not that I’m unhappy with him, it’s that he’s unhappy with me. He’s always deliberately suppressing and targeting me. This time the competition against the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, if it wasn’t for me, Pill Sect would have lost face. But he intentionally downplayed my achievements, making me feel quite disheartened.”
Han Yinyue, while having heard of the competition between the Pill Sect and the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, had only known that the Pill Sect succeeded.
She had not known about the process nor the aftermath.
When Fang Lin said that Gu Daofeng had intentionally minimized his contribution, Han Yinyue looked genuinely surprised and somewhat unbelieving.
After all, how could a sect leader possibly do such a thing?
Seeing Han Yinyue’s disbelief, Fang Lin gave a bitter smile and explained, “Miss Han, you can ask Meng Chaoyang. He was there and knows exactly what happened. ”
Han Yinyue nodded, “I will ask Meng Chaoyang. If it is as you say, then I will speak to Mr. Gu.”
Han Xiaoxing’s ailment.
“What about my sister’s eyes, is there any way to heal them?” Now that they had discussed Xiaoxing’s hidden ailment, what concerned Han Yinyue the most were Han Xiaoxing’s eyes.
Fang Lin shook his head, saying, “I can’t determine the specific condition right now. Once the True Sun Energy is cleared, I’ll examine her carefully.”
Upon hearing Fang Lin’s words, Han Yinyue didn’t probe further. She took out an item and handed it to Fang Lin.
“Miss Han, what’s this?” Fang Lin asked, looking at the Nine Palace Bag in his hand.
Han Yinyue smiled and said, “Since you have redeemed the honor of the Pill Sect, you deserve to be a meritorious retainer of the Purple Mist Sect. The items inside are for you.
Fang Lin noted that Han Yinyue’s words were merely an excuse, and her true motive was likely to thank him for treating Han Xiaoxing’s ailment.
Regardless, Fang Lin wouldn’t refuse, of course. Who would reject gifts?
He accepted the Nine Palace Bag and respectfully bowed to the Han Sisters.
After removing the Soundproofing Array, Fang Lin and the Han Sisters walked out to see Dugu Nian in the courtyard. Both Fang Lin and Han Yinyue couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle at the sight..
