If I, as the master, were to let things go unchecked, it would indeed be a real headache.
and……
Su Miaorou secretly observed Xia Che's expression out of the corner of her eye, thinking to herself that since she had said all that, it should make Xia Che a little happier, right?
If it makes Xia Che happy, then my choice is still worthwhile.
"What?!"
To her surprise, Xia Che looked as if he had seen a ghost. Contrary to Su Miaorou's expectations, Xia Che looked completely astonished.
"You're actually being so kind?"
Xia Che's worldview seemed to have shattered, his face filled with shock.
Is this still the same seemingly respectable but scheming master I know?
In fact, the so-called enlightened master Su, as perceived by ordinary people, is actually quite cunning.
She was indeed a celestial being, but Xia Che inadvertently discovered the various cunning thoughts in her mind.
Long ago, when Xia Che was still a child, he inadvertently discovered that his master had secretly changed into a set of night clothes and gone down the mountain one night.
The next day, the two powerful families at the foot of the mountain started fighting. One of the families had discovered the other had sent people to sabotage their territory the night before. As the conflict between the two families escalated, Su Miaorou was naturally asked to come out of the mountain to mediate, earning a large sum of money in the process.
Although her master, after discovering what she had seen, explained that both families were no good, bullying men and women and exploiting the common people every day, she couldn't stand it and that's why she went to act on behalf of Heaven.
But Xia Che understood from that day on.
My aloof master...
Actually, he's quite cunning.
As the memory ended, Xia Che looked at Su Miaorou in front of him and suddenly shuddered.
Could it be that Master wants to use the pretense of helping Grandma cure her illness to get close to Jiang Yu, and then obtain the high school girl's youthful heart to use for experiments?
That's very possible!
"How could such a thing be possible?!"
Seeing that Xia Che's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Su Miaorou, enraged, punched Xia Che in the eye socket. Xia Che grunted. His physical condition had already declined due to the sealing of his meridians, and after climbing the mountain for half a day, his body was almost at its limit, so he couldn't dodge his master's angry punch.
Taking a solid punch, Xia Che felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground with a thud. Although he hadn't fainted yet, the little stars that kept appearing before his eyes made him feel dizzy and lightheaded.
A young girl's shyness may not be a sweet wine, but it could be a fist that leaves you dizzy...
"Cough cough..."
Realizing that Xia Che's physical condition was different from before, Su Miaorou felt a little embarrassed, but she still put her hands behind her back, snorted, and didn't look at him: "Anyway... there's no need to worry about this anymore. What about the other one? What do you mean by 'leg disability'?"
"Master's skill is indeed as good as ever..."
Xia Che rubbed his temples, gradually recovering from the dizziness and regaining his usual clarity. He muttered that the woman who had been exposed was indeed not easy to mess with. Then he said, "She is a classmate I recently met. She can't walk and has no feeling in her legs. But she wasn't born like this. She suddenly became disabled someday. She asked all the famous hospitals in China, but none of them could do anything for her."
"So I think, if modern medicine can't solve her illness, then you, Master, certainly can."
Xia Che touched his nose, subtly flattered her, and then asked, "That's the situation. Do you have any good ideas?"
"It wasn't a congenital disability, but rather a sudden loss of sensation in both legs..."
Su Miaorou touched her chin, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing together.
The medical books and classic texts she had read, as well as the explanations of various modern medical theories, did not seem to mention this kind of disease.
Is this the first case in the world?
It's hard to say...
It's possible that such a disease does exist, but you just haven't seen it and therefore don't know about it.
Do you still remember the martial arts I taught you when you were little?
Su Miaorou gradually came up with an idea and looked at Xia Che to ask.
"I was used as a punching bag by you since I was a child. Even though I was just a kid, I suffered every beating from you. You used all sorts of tricks, like 'Black Tiger Pulls Out the Heart' and 'Two Tigers Kill Two Sheep'... Are you referring to these?"
Xia Che was a little stunned by the sudden question and answered subconsciously.
"...I'm referring to the quiet cultivation of mind and inner peace!"
Su Miaorou was so angry she jumped up and down.
"Who told you not to explain clearly... haha."
Xia Che scratched his face, then a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
My hunch was right...
His master looked completely relaxed.
Although she was cunning before, it was just a spice in her boring life. Most of the time, Xia Che could see the deep pressure between Su Miaorou's brows.
Under pressure, Su Miaorou became a heartless human machine, only slightly revealing her girlish nature when she was being cunning or beating herself.
But now, even though it's only been a few days since I last saw him, it seems that my master's mindset has undergone a complete transformation without my knowledge...
Xia Che felt that this change was the right thing to do. Although he didn't know what his master had encountered, he was genuinely happy for his master to see that she could let go of the pressure and get out of it. That's why he was willing to bicker with his master.
"You're really something... I'm not that fierce at all."
When her apprentice exposed her for the second time, Su Miaorou's face turned red.
But Xia Che's feeling was right; Su Miaorou felt a sense of relaxation she had never experienced before.
Or rather, this is her most authentic self.
Humans are not machines with pre-programmed routines. Humans have emotions and desires, and no matter how much self-cultivation one practices, this innate nature cannot be erased.
Now that there were no outsiders around, and with Su Miaorou having decided to give up waiting for the spiritual energy to recover, her obsession disappeared, and she became much more relaxed.
"The human body is a treasure trove. At certain times, the potential that the human body can unleash is terrifying. The reason it has not yet been unleashed is because opening this treasure trove requires a key, or rather... some specific assistance."
Su Miaorou smiled confidently and said, "Every skill in my lineage is a key to unlocking this treasure trove. In fact, you already know how to treat this disease."
"Just use the massage technique I used to help you clear your meridians when you were a child. Massage once after the patient has just taken a bath, when the blood and energy in the body are open."
"But everyone's situation is different, and the degree to which the treasure trove is opened is also different, so the specific number of massages needed depends on the individual's constitution."
