Chapter 15: Luo Qing Qing collapsed.

Chapter 15: Luo Qing Qing collapsed.

Luo Zheng pushed the cup and jug on the table away to crash on the floor. His chest heaved up and down as his face darkened with anger. The Ban furen behind him tried to calm him down but got slapped by him.

“It is all your fault!”

“Head patriarch, why are you blaming it on Ning Er? It was that wretched child fault that everything has become a mess.” Ban Guo shielded his daughter.

“Xia Yu wouldn’t have become so unruly if not because of you! Ever since that day, she would never listen to anyone except for Old man Wei Chen, elder Wu Sheng and Yao Shifu. She only listens to the three old men and not her own father!”

Ban Ning covered the red part on her cheek with her hand, pursed her lips and stares at Luo Zheng with eyes reddened filling up with bitterness. How was it her fault that his daughter wouldn’t listen to him? Despite complaining in her heart, she doesn’t dare to refute his word because he is controlling her children and her father.

Luo Zheng just swept his sleeves and left the ancestral hall to go somewhere else.

The day that he was talking about, Elder Bu Zian also witness. Even he thinks that Luo Xia Yu became unruly because of Ban Ning, however, he also just left the ancestral hall and went to his own courtyard. Ban Guo huffed in anger and let the servants helped his daughter rest in her own courtyard before he also left the ancestral hall in anger.

However, things have never been as clear as today. If the second miss doesn’t remind them, they would never remember any of it.

In the past, the fourth miss saved the crown prince’s life by saving him from drowning even before the prince crowned as the crown prince. The crown prince had an older brother before him and the man died in the war. The crown falls onto his head but at that time, everyone already forgot the emperor’s decree to marry Prince Jiu to the Luo Fourth Miss.

However, the girl is already dead. That’s mean the decree is no longer valid but seemingly, the second miss insisted on not to marry Jiu Wang. The young misses were happy with the result but the elders were worried.

The person worried the most would be Elder Ban Guo.

Everyone knew that Jiu Wang has a cousin that has the support from the Empress Dowager. Anyone that tried to get close to Jiu Wang will suffer under Baili Mingxiang’s hand. Either get humiliated during the royal banquet or get their reputation destroyed. Elder Ban Guo wanted to borrow other’s knife to teach the unruly slut for not having manner toward the elders.

This way, not only he will not be suspected. He will also see a good show.

But things don’t go the way he wanted now. He is thinking the next move to make Baili Mingxiang hate Han Xia Yu.

Ban Guo gritted his teeth as things don’t go as he planned. He walked to the courtyard with only a manservant behind him. ‘Why did that wretched child reject the marriage? Could she have discovered his intention? Not possible… After all, even Luo Zheng doesn’t find out about it.’

He looked around him warily and entered his living quarter while the servant waited outside as per usual. In his living quarter, only he and few people knew that there is a basement down below. Only he knows what inside while other people only able to wildly guess because anyone they sent to check will be killed by what inside.

“If that child refuses the marriage, there still one more way to destroy her reputation.” Ban Guo eyes curved menacingly as he chuckled and then laughed maniacally.

Meanwhile, Han Xia Yu got a goosebump on her back and she turned around by reflex to see what’s behind her.

“Xiao Hei.”

Wu Die Yi simultaneously hid Han Xia Yu behind him and prepared to take out his sword. However, when he heard she spoke of the man’s name, he sheathed the sword back. He looked at the man standing in front of him and scanned him from top to down.

One doesn’t have to take another look to see that behind the mask is a fine looking man.

Xiao Hei doesn’t prolong the silence and immediately speaks to Han Xia Yu. “She’s not waking up.” He furrowed his eyebrows and said it quickly.

Han Xia Yu knows who he is implied as she. She furrowed her eyes and walked in front of Wu Die Yi. “Stay beside her first. I will come soon.”

She looked at her Shifu and slightly parted open her mouth. However, nothing comes out. She doesn’t know how to explain that Luo Qing Qing is alive but at the same time also not her.

Yao Shifu doesn’t know what holds the girl back from telling but he knew that it is something crucial. He frowned as he asked out of concern in a gentle tone. “Yatou, what is it?” [Yatou mean this girl used by the second person. A term of endearment.]

Han Xia Yu glanced at Xiao Hei. She could see that he is not joking, however, to suddenly not wake up. What happens when she was away? She wasn’t confident enough to say that she is proficient in medicine after all her field experience is lacking.

She walked to Yao Shifu and bowed her head.

“Shifu, this unfilial disciple will have to trouble you one more time.”

“Alright, just ask. This old man will try his best to do anything.” Yao Shifu immediately agreed, regardless of what she will request.

She smiled but her eyes were filled with worry. She then gets people to prepare carriage for them and drove to QingYu Pavilion. In the carriage, she only kept quiet even when the Shifu tried to inquire something from her, she just smiled and said that she will explain later on. She just keeps walking in a rush and entered the room guarded by Pan Liu.

Yao Shifu and the two behind him were confused but they also followed Han Xia Yu.

Then, they saw a girl lying on the bed covered with muslin veil guarded by the man from earlier.

Han Xia Yu took her hand and checked her pulse. There’s nothing out of ordinary, however, the girl truly not waking up. She took out a bottle of elixir and leaned it toward the girl’s nose. It is her own personal concoction that she used to prank other people in the academy and she named it Abominable Provoking Fragrance. It is fragrance if it only a drop of the elixir but if one smells it directly from the bottle, they will get stung by the strong scent.

It is useful to wake people who fainted or fake their faint.

Yet, Luo Qing Qing shows no response.

Han Xia Yu turned to look at her teacher and shook her head.

Yao Shifu eyebrows creased as he walked toward the girl lying on the bed. He sat and closed his eyes before he put his palm forward and extended his qi out to scan the girl.

“This condition is not an illness, poisoned or curse. It is her owns doing.” Yao Shifu lowered his hand and patted Han Xia Yu’s head. He could see that she is worried so much about the little girl.

“Her own doing?” Han Xia Yu couldn’t help but ask.

Unlike Wu Die Yi and Wu Yi Xue that tutelage with Yao Shifu for Sword mastery and martial qinggong, Han Xia Yu tutelage under Yao Shifu for medicinal and spiritual weapon alchemy. She is only an apprentice but every theory that she learned from Yao Shifu was not small in number. She might lack in practice but she definitely has learned more than other apprentices.

What Yao Shifu said, she understood but she doesn’t understand why it happens to Luo Qing Qing.

Not illness, not poison, not a curse, the patient own doing. There is only two more condition that Yao Shifu taught her theoretically. It would be soul concussion ailment or soul recording.

“Shifu, which soul ailment was it?”

“It is hard to figure it out, however, if it is soul concussion the patient body will getting colder and colder. If it is soul concussion, we need 7th rank heavenly grade Mortal Soul Recovery.” He said it calm and collected but Han Xia Yu face turned grim.

Even if Yao Shifu has recently entered Martial Supreme, he has never attempt 7th rank before. Even for an expert, it is hard to get the heavenly grade just on the first attempt. 7th rank elixir required many 1000 thousand medicinal herbs and at least a 10 000 years demon beast core and for mortal soul recovery recipe, it required the core to be pure fire element.

The Academy has many thousand years herbs but there is only one ten thousand years pure fire demonic beast core and it is not for use, only exist for study purpose.

“Shifu, soul concussion is only caused by wrong cultivation practice. This condition shouldn’t be it.” Han Xia Yu is worried about Luo Qing Qing but she doesn’t want to trouble her teacher to forcefully take that one demon beast core. Knowing this old man personality, he will undoubtedly take the core and use it to make the elixir.

It is hard for the lower realm to have a pure element demonic beast so it is better for them to think of other methods to cure Luo Qing Qing.

“Alright, since I don’t have unlimited internet anymore, I will post two chapters at once whenever I have internet.”

Suddenly author had a goosebump behind her. She turned to look back and saw two heavenly good-looking people stood behind her with the grim expression on their faces.

Han Xia Yu glared at the author. “You keep harming my sister, what is your intention?!”

Dongdong put hands up in the air. “I’m not responsible for this!”

Demon Lord patted Han Xia Yu’s shoulder and the girl backed away, he looked at Dongdong menacingly and grinned as he spoke, “Choose from one to ten.”

“W-why?”

“That’s the number of fingers that I’m going to break.”

“Nuooooo!!!” Dongdong hides her hand inside her clothes as she runs away quickly from the demonic people.
