Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Can It Be Remedied? Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Can It Be Remedied? …
The next day, before anyone in the house had risen, Lin Caisang was out the door, arriving at the bamboo house just as the dawn was breaking. Staring at the falling raindrops under the veranda, she stood there in a daze.
She had wanted Ya Molian to leave last night but he had firmly rejected her.
She didn’t know when he had left. Yet her, she had spent a sleepless night, filled with regret. The region around Youxiang River was really not a good place. Why did she let Molian go there in the first place?
“Miss Lin, you came so early?”
Zhen Wu had just arrived as well and saw Lin Caisang, who was standing disproportionately at the entrance.
“Did Molian send you here?”
Seeing Zhen Wu, Lin Caisang came back to her senses and took a deep breath.
“You’re here at the right time. Go to the hall and I’ll take your pulse for you.”
“Yes, Miss Lin.” Zhen Wu responded.
Actually, he felt somewhat excited when he got the letter from Zhe Jue.
Even though he could risk his own life for the Hall Master’s sake, he found it hard to accept that he was still alive yet unable to have children. No normal man could accept it.
And the Hall Master’s attitude towards him was also somewhat unacceptable.
Besides that aspect, everything else about his body was normal. How could he be sent to the silkworm-feeding place? He was after all, as reliable as Zhe Jue by the Hall Master’s side.
The two sat down in the hall room, one in front and the other behind. Lin Caisang motioned for him to extend his hand, then began to take his pulse.
After a long while, she finally retracted her hand.
“Miss Lin, how is my body? Can it be cured?” Upon seeing her retract her hand, Zhen Wu asked.
Lin Caisang looked up at him, her gaze heavy.
“Zhen Wu, what exactly happened when you went to the Youxiang River back then? Your martial arts skills are not inferior to those of Zhe Jue. How can you be trapped by ice and become so weak?”
Zhen Wu looked at Lin Caisang, a touch of embarrassment crossed his face.
He knew that Lin Caisang was a person his master trusted very much. There was nothing he could not share with her. So, he had to recount the events that happened two years ago at the Youxiang River.
“Back then, when the Hall Master’s poison began to act up, for some reason, it wasn’t like the previous episodes.
You have seen how the Hall Master reacts when the poison in his body starts acting up, right? Although the Hall Master could hardly move and was in pain during those times, he was still able to bear it. But that poison attack was too severe.”
Recalling the sight of his master’s poison flare-up, he couldn’t help but shiver. It was really fearsome.
“The Hall Master turned purple, and he fainted for seven days and nights without any signs of recovery. The doctors in the hall were at a loss. Zhe Jue and I had to capture a notorious poison doctor from the world of martial arts to treat the Master.
But by the time we brought him back, the Hall Master had already regained consciousness and was as usual.”
We learned about the ‘Infernal Ginseng’ which can neutralize all poisons in the body, from that poison doctor. He even drew us the image of the ‘Infernal Ginseng’.
We didn’t know that the ‘Infernal Ginseng’ was guarded by numerous Phoenix Puppets which could swallow a man whole. At that moment, the cold air from the Youxiang River triggered the poison in the Master’s body to erupt again, putting us in a very critical situation.
To save the master from harm, I carelessly got pricked by the hook of the ‘Infernal Ginseng’ and then…”
As he spoke, his voice trailed off and he stopped speaking.
