Chapter 52: The condition is to serve as a maid for three years
Xie Yingmian said: "I know that you learned it secretly."
"I also know that after your nemesis master found out you were secretly learning, he was afraid you would misuse the technique and cause a serious mistake, so he had no choice but to teach you."
"Your master should have warned you not to use all your strength. Otherwise, you will suffer a severe backlash, which will cause your internal energy to dissipate, and it will take a long time to recover."
Wen Juexia was so shocked that she stuttered, "How do you know so much?"
"You...you know my master?"
Xie Yingmian said indifferently: "I don't know him."
"I inferred this from the damage to your Dantian."
"Your Dantian was severely injured, causing you to achieve half the result with twice the effort when practicing martial arts. You are always much slower than others."
"Feiyingxue's move is quite special. It relies on the Dantian to store energy. Your Dantian is not storing enough energy. Forcing it to use all your strength is like draining the pond to catch all the fish, killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. This is why your master doesn't allow you to learn it."
Wen Juexia clapped his hands heavily: "So that's how it is!"
"No wonder I can't learn something in thirty days that others can learn in three days. I always thought I was stupid, but it turns out there's something wrong with my Dantian?"
Xie Yingmian: ...
Or maybe I'm just really stupid.
After all, damage to the Dantian does not mean damage to the brain.
Xie Yingmian continued, "Your master doesn't allow you to learn Feiyingxue. Besides the backlash, there's a more important reason."
"Your Dantian is like a funnel."
"Other people's accumulated internal energy will be stored in their Dantian, while your accumulated internal energy will slowly leak out of the funnel. If you accumulate ten points and leak three points, you only have seven points available."
“Let’s say the funnel mouth is only as wide as a little finger.”
"When using Feiyingxue, after the Dantian accumulates power, the funnel will also be stressed, and its width will expand from one pinky finger to two or three pinky fingers. At that time, all the internal force will be poured out, causing your internal force to dissipate."
"This kind of injury can't be healed by recuperation."
"The more you use Feiyingxue, the wider the funnel will become. Over time, the more you charge, the more it leaks, until you can no longer charge."
Wen Juexia was stunned: "What do you mean by no longer being able to accumulate power?"
Xie Yingmian told her bluntly: "All my martial arts skills have been lost."
Wen Juexia's face turned pale.
No wonder, no wonder the master was reluctant to teach her Feiyingxue.
No wonder the master repeatedly reminded her not to use it indiscriminately, let alone use all her strength.
No wonder the master often sighed at her.
"So that's how it is." Wen Juexia had tears in her eyes.
"That's what I was saying. I have a great memory and a good understanding, but why am I so weak when it comes to actual practice? What others can learn in three days takes me thirty days, or even three hundred days."
"For the same move, others may have a power of 10, but mine is only 7."
"No matter how hard I try, I can't compare to others. I thought it was because I was dull and stupid. But it turns out that it's not my problem at all."
After knowing the truth, the inferiority complex that had been pent up in my heart for many years disappeared.
Wen Juexia thanked him solemnly: "Thank you for telling me this."
Xie Yingmian said, "You're welcome."
"I have a way to repair your Dantian, but I have conditions."
Wen Juexia was stunned by Xie Yingmian's light words: "You, can repair it?"
"right."
"My master must have thought of many ways. If there were any, she wouldn't have kept it from me. How could you possibly have a way to fix it?"
"Your master is your master, and I am me. Just because your master can't do it doesn't mean I can't." Xie Yingmian said.
“…” Wen Juexia couldn’t refute.
She pursed her lips: "So, what are your conditions?"
"Be my maid for three years."
"Three years of maidservant?"
"If you don't agree, I won't force you." Xie Yingmian said.
"I don't disagree." Wen Juexia said, "I hurt you, but you repaid me with kindness. I am ashamed of myself."
"You saved my life. I was able to serve as your maid for three years and even repair my Dantian. I took advantage of you."
"but……"
"Well, let me be frank. I came down the mountain to look for my sister."
"My sister is missing. No one has seen her alive or dead. They all say she's dead, but my sister and I are twins. I can sense that she's still alive."
Wen Juexia looked at Xie Yingmian seriously: "After you find my sister, I will come back to be your maid, okay? Not to mention three years, five years, ten years is fine."
Xie Yingmian pondered for a moment: "Do you know where this is?"
Wen Juexia: "Prince Ling's Mansion."
Xie Yingmian: "Have you heard of Prince Ling?"
Wen Juexia nodded in confusion.
In the entire Dayu Dynasty, there should be few people who don’t know Prince Ling.
Xie Yingmian asked, "Would it be faster for you to search for a needle in a haystack alone, or would it be faster to use Prince Ling's connections to find someone?"
Wen Juexia's eyes lit up.
yes.
She searched for a long time like a headless fly but still couldn't find any clues.
Prince Ling's Mansion has a wide network of contacts and a large sphere of influence, so it is much easier for her to find people than to do so on her own.
Wen Juexia opened up a new idea: "Yes."
"Prince Ling's connections are much stronger than mine."
"Okay, it's settled. From today on, I, Wen Juexia, am Xie... Can I call you Sister Mianmian from now on?"
Wen Juexia stretched out three fingers, pointing to the sky, the earth, and her heart: "From today on, I, Wen Juexia, will be Sister Mianmian's maid. I will climb mountains of swords and plunge into seas of fire, and I will never refuse."
Xie Yingmian held her down and said, "Be careful with the needle."
Wen Juexia stuck out her tongue and said, "I was so happy that I forgot I was still giving acupuncture."
"ah!"
"I suddenly realized I didn't itch anymore. It turns out acupuncture can detoxify. Sister Mianmian is amazing."
Xie Yingmian was used to Wen Juexia's sudden startles.
She showed no expression: "I haven't detoxified you yet."
Wen Juexia exclaimed, "Then what you did with the acupuncture just now was..."
"Seal the Dantian." Xie Yingmian said, "to prevent further deterioration."
Wen Juexia scratched his head.
But she really didn't feel itchy anymore.
"In order to insert the needle smoothly, I have temporarily blocked your senses." Xie Yingmian explained, "It will only take about a cup of tea."
"Besides, there's no antidote for the itching powder, so you'll just have to get through it."
As we were talking, it was time for a cup of tea.
Wen Juexia felt the itchiness on her body come back again.
She looked at Xie Yingmian pitifully: "Sister Mianmian, you said you would detoxify me."
"I am your most loyal dog now. You don't have to be on guard against me. I don't want to go through this torture again."
Xie Yingmian: "I'm not on guard against you, and you can't make any waves. I have no reason to lie to you. There is indeed no antidote, only the last tiny bit of medicine powder."
Wen Juexia was puzzled: "Is there any difference?"
Xie Yingmian took out a packet of medicine powder and said, "It's different."
"This powder will stop itching, but it has side effects."
Wen Juexia: "Will the side effects kill people?"
Xie Yingmian said, "That's not the case. The side effects won't cause any harm to people. It's just that after taking this medicine..."
Wen Juexia: "As long as you don't die from eating it, eat it until you die."
"I'll eat it right away."
Wen Juexia swallowed the powder in one gulp.
She moved so fast that Xie Yingmian didn't even finish her words.
